Steps to compile JSP pages in Oracle Apps

Note: - If you are working on any other development Instance. Please confirm from DBA where is your Application server is Installed.

For the CDEV (Development Instance), Application server is installed on CCDEV08.

1)    FTP the JSP file from the server to your local Machine.

Note:- You should Always take the latest file to modify the file. If you are not sure, the file in the CDEV is the latest one then, please take the file from the PVCS.



Note: - FTP the file in the ASCII mode.

Following is the path where you have all the JSP files. (Opened Application).

cd $OA_HTML

Note: - We have to register the JSP page.





2) Make the changes to the JSP file.























3) Delete the JAVA and CLASS files of the JSP file you have modified now.



Note: - JAVA and CLASS files of the JSP file would start with underscore ( _ ) and file name with the extension of .java or .class

Following is the path where you can find all the CLASS and JAVA files.

cd $COMMON_TOP/_pages/_oa__html














4) After Modification, move the file from your local machine to your server.




Note: - FTP the file in the ASCII mode.

Following is the path where you have all the JSP files. (Application).

cd $OA_HTML

Note: - When you try to open the page from any Responsibility in the Application. New JAVA and CLASS files would be created.











5) Bounce back the Apache Server.







Note: - Login into your server with your UserID and then login with Super Userid.

            For the CDEV Instance, Super User ID is aplcdv

The following commands are run after login with Super User “aplcdv” to bounce back the Apache server.

    cd $IAS_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin
    apachectl graceful

**Note: - Bounce backing the Apache Server would affect other actives running on the server. So, please inform your DBA before you bounce back the Apache server.



You will see the Restarted Message after running the file successfully.
