Monitoring Oracle Forms Services with BIGIP

Hi I am running "BIG-IP 9.4.2 Build 228.18 Final" and am trying to monitor the availability of Forms Services within Oracle Application Server.     The standard Oracle URL for testing this is: ...
management

Based on this doc (Click here) it looks like you might be able to test the web app by making a request to http://myserver.com:NNNN/forms90/f90servlet?form=test.fmx. Does this URL work on your app? If so, you could create an HTTP monitor like this:

 

 

GET /forms90/f90servlet?form=test.fmx\r\nHost: \r\nConnection: close

 

 

Another option would be to follow this Oracle DG:

 

 

Oracle Application Server Enterprise Deployment Guide

 

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13998.pdf

 

 

hostname:port/_oracle_http_server_webcache_static_.html

 

 

If that doesn't work for you, try to find a page which triggers a connection from the app to the database and returns some indication of success which is different than when the app to db connection is down.

 

 

You might also try posting in the F5/Oracle Solutions section (Click here).
