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:
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status
however this only checks the HTTP level of the application and not it's ability to load a Form. We have experienced a failure of the application where the URL indicates that the application is up and yet in fact it is down.
Oracle have recommended trying using this URL instead:
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet
however this returns more than just HTTP traffic and would in fact load the default Form in a browser.
Does anyone have experience load balancing against Oracle Forms Services on Oracle Application Server? Any help or advice would be great.
Many thanks,
Philippe
