adctrl utility for managing jobs in 11i and R12

AD Controller is a general maintenance utility you use to determine the status of AutoUpgrade, AD Administration, or AutoPatch workers and to control worker operation. AD Controller is run in its own window, not in the same window as AutoUpgrade, AD Administration, or AutoPatch.
The command to start AD Controller is adctrl. AD Controller prompts you for standard items such as the log file name and the AOL username and password.

$ adctrl

AD Controller Menu
---------------------------------------------------
1. Show worker status
2. Tell worker to restart a failed job
3. Tell worker to quit
4. Tell manager that a worker failed its job
5. Tell manager that a worker acknowledges quit
6. Restart a worker on the current machine
7. Exit

After you have entered the username and password the above menu will open for ADCTRL.

Here we have 7 options.

You can start, stop and monitor the workers. Lets monitor status of workers with option 1:

Enter your choice [1] :

Worker Code Context Filename Status

1 Run Generic R120 BOMFMCPY.pll Running
2 Run Generic R120 BOMFMMDE.pll Running
3 Run Generic R120 BOMFMOPR.pll Running

Logfiile location of adworker.
Depending on the number of workers from adpatch options, that much adworker???.log will create at
$APPL_TOP/admin/ORACLE_SID/log

Example:

$ cd $APPL_TOP/admin/VIS/log

For each adworker process, a log file is generated that shows activity and errors if any. Lets examine one of these log files:
$ cat adworker001.log
