What's New
Active-Passive Failover
The Applications Manager Automation Engine now supports active-passive failover. A secondary
Applications Manager RMI server can be setup and run in stand-by mode (active-passive), so that in
the event that the primary Applications Manager Automation Engine goes down, the stand-by RMI
server will become the active Automation Engine. When the stand-by RMI server becomes active,
the agents will reconnect to it automatically; with the exception of the local agent. That is because
the local agent is part of the Automation Engine installation, and integrated with the specific
Automation Engine system. Therefore, in systems that require RMI server failover, it is
recommended that all jobs be setup to run on remote agents.
Support for Additional Rapid Automation Agents
Some agents that are not supported for Applications Manager v8.0 are supported for Applications
Manager v9.0. These include Web Service v3.1.0, and FTP v3.1.2. For a current list of Automation
Engine support requirements for all Rapid Automation agents, see the Rapid Automation Support
Matrix on the Automic Support site.
Platform and Oracle Support
Version 9 is the first Applications Manager release that supports Oracle 12c databases. When using
Oracle 12c database and you have an Oracle Enterprise Edition multi-tenant system or Oracle
2 Applications Manager v9.0 Release Notes
Standard Edition single tenant system, Applications Manager must be installed into a pluggable
database (PDB) within a container. Your DBA is responsible for creating the pluggable database.
Oracle 12c non-CDB/PDB configurations are identical to Oracle 11g databases.
Enabling/Disabling RMI Server Debug with the RMI_
DEBUG Job
You can now enable or disable RMI server debug by running the RMI_DEBUG job. Like all
Applications Manager jobs, you can request and submit RMI_DEBUG to run it ad hoc, or schedule
it. Activate or deactivate RMI server debug by setting the Enable prompt to Yes or No. The RMI_
DEBUG job is included in the RMI_DEBUG import file.

Known Issue: You Cannot Retrieve a Local
WSDL File for a SOAP Login Object
You cannot retrieve a local WSDL file for a SOAP login object using the Web Service agent. This
will be fixed in Applications Manager v9.0 Service Pack 1 and a patch is available from Automic
Support.
