To: ora-apps-dba@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, November 19, 2009, 5:21 AM Hey Viren, Just look for a Shared APPL_TOP implementation doc in MOS. The section Adding additional node describes how to accomplish your task. Those steps are valid even if you do not have shared FS. Just make a copy on each server. SSL Accelerators implemeted via OAM portal. If looking for command prompt implementation the description is in MOS as well. Good luck with your projects. Yury.
