Start and stop sequence

There is a specific sequence in which Oracle Fusion Applications must be started/
stopped. This sequence is important as there are dependencies between the various
technology components of Oracle Fusion Applications. Shutting down or starting up
a component in the wrong order will result in errors.

The startup sequence is as follows:

1. Start Oracle Databases for all components

2. Start the OIM Suite

3. Start Node Managers

4. Start WebLogic-Server-based fusion components

The corresponding shutdown sequence is as follows:

1. Stop WebLogic-Server-based fusion components

2. Stop OIM Suite

3. Stop databases

The fastartstop utility

Starting and stopping each component of the Oracle Fusion Applications stack can
be time consuming. It requires logging in to different consoles, and using different
users and file system locations at the command line. To simplify the process of start-
ing up the Oracle Fusion Applications WebLogic domains, the fastartstop utility
has been provided.

This utility will start/stop all the Oracle Fusion Applications domains, including the
Common domain. This is a much more efficient approach for restarting an environ-
ment when there are multiple domains. The database and OIM Suite still need to be
started separately.
