Oracle Support on VMWare / Virtualized environment

Oracle does not support Oracle Products installed on VMware as Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMware virtualized environments.

If the issue does not occur in a non-virtual deployment, you will be referred to work with VM Product Company.

For details, look on oracle metalink (https://metalink.oracle.com) for the following document:

Monitoring OIM Apps / Listeners - Automatic Startups

The code here checks the Peoplesoft listener in OC4J environment that keep crashing unexpectedly in OIM 903 for some reason. The XML messages sent from PeopleSoft gets queued and won't reach OIM. The listener servlet throws the HTTP 500 Internal Server error. So, to restart the listener automatically, we can use the following code. You can set this code to execute at specific intervals to recheck and recycle the app, if in case it is down.
