AS Control in a Cluster

When you cluster two Oracle Application Servers (10.1.3) you will receive a warning that it is not recommended (supported) to have two Application Server Controls in this cluster.

This week I had the need to enable the second ASC as the deployment of an application failed if it was carried of from the remote ASC.

This is how I did this.

Go to the server.xml in j2ee/home/config and change
< application name="ascontrol" path="../../home/applications/ascontrol.ear" parent="system" start="false" / >

into

< application name="ascontrol" path="../../home/applications/ascontrol.ear" parent="system" start="true" / >
