Clearing Apache Cache And Bouncing

Clearing Apache Cache without bouncing

Every time you assign yourself a new responsibility or you change a profile option or upload a new piece of code, you need to bounce the listener.Here is a way to get around this without actually bouncing the apache server

Assign "Functional Administrator" responsibility.
Login to the responsibility and click on the "Core Services" tab (top-right).
Click on the "Caching Framework" link in the blue menu bar.
Click on "Global Configuration" link in the left vertical menu.
In the "Cache Policy" region click on the "Clear All Cache" button.
Click the "Yes" button to confirm the action.
Click the "Apply" button to apply the changes.

This clears the Apache cache just like bouncing the Apache listener does, but no one is disconnected and you don't even need the DBA.

Bouncing the apache server

we need to run two scripts:
1)Script which is responsible for bouncing Oracle HTTP Server (adapcctl.sh)
2)Script which responsible for bouncing OC4J container (adoacorectl.sh)

So basically, here is the sequence of steps you need to do :
1) Connect to Host Server using Putty
2) Change the Directory by using this command  cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
3) And Execute below Commands in current Directory
   a) adapcctl.sh stop
   b) adoacorectl.sh stop
   c) adapcctl.sh start
   d) adoacorectl.sh start

 and to check the status adopmnctl.sh
