Running RDA for Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.1.1)

Never ran an RDA (Remote Diagnostic Agent) before? It is a way to collect comprehensive diagnostic information to provide to Oracle Support.

Some WebLogic Server versions have RDA already installed under the ~/oracle_common or ~/utils folder. If not, you may need to download, install, and run it on your own.


Instructions

1. Download RDA from the My Oracle Support website:
https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/PatchDetails/process_form?aru=19959625&patch_password=&no_header=0
2. Copy the downloaded zip file p21769913_8111638_Linux-x86-64.zip to /tmp.

3. Run these commands:
cd $MW_HOME/utils

unzip /tmp/p21769913_8111638_Linux-x86-64.zip

mv readme.txt rda

cd $MW_HOME/utils/rda

./rda.sh -s wls_issue -p WebLogicServer

(follow the prompts)

gtar -czvf wls_issue.2016.tgz wls_issue
3. Send the wls_issue.2016.tgz file to Oracle Support.


Sample Output

Below is a sample output of the prompts (anything in red is manually inputted):

RDA.OCM: Set up the Configuration Manager Interface
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RDA benefits from Oracle Configuration Manager by improving its data
collection. Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) collects the configuration
information and uploads it to the OCM Repository in connected mode. When OCM
is configured in disconnected mode, it adds the OCM payload to the RDA report
packages in future RDA runs.

Pending Configurations in /u01/app/oracle/middleware:
  MH_T0002  Middleware home /u01/app/oracle/middleware

Hit 'Return' to continue

Do you want RDA to configure OCM now (Y/N)?
Press Return to accept the default (Y)
> N

  You can review the reports by transferring the
  /u01/app/oracle/middleware/utils/rda/wls_issue directory structure to
  a location where you have web-browser access. Then, point your browser at
  this file to display the reports:
    RDA__start.htm

  Based on your server configuration, some possible alternative approaches
  are:
  - If your client computer with a browser has access to a web-shared
    directory, copy the ? directory structure to the web-shared directory and
    visit this URL:
    http://machine:port/web_shared_directory/RDA__start.htm
  or
  - If your client computer with a browser has FTP access to the server
    computer with the ? directory, visit this URL:
    ftp://usayn80@uslx792.intranet.local//u01/app/oracle/middleware/utils/rda/wls_issue

  If this file was generated to assist in resolving a Service Request, send
  /u01/app/oracle/middleware/utils/rda/RDA_wls_issue_uslx792.zip to
  Oracle Support by uploading the file via My Oracle Support. When sending
  with FTP, make sure you send it in BINARY format.

  Note: Do not submit any health, payment card or other sensitive production
  data that requires protections greater than those specified in the Oracle
  GCS Security Practices
  (http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/customer-support-security-practices-069170.pdf).
  Information on how to remove data from your submission is available at
