Stop Tomcat.

If they exist, move C:\Program Files
(x86)\apache-tomcat-9.0.6\webapps\ROOT.war and C:\Program Files
(x86)\apache-tomcat-9.0.6\webapps\ROOT to a C:\Program Files
(x86)\apache-tomcat-9.0.6\webapps-backup (or any suitable back-up location).

Rename C:\Program Files
(x86)\apache-tomcat-9.0.6\webapps\OracleStatus.war to C:\Program Files
(x86)\apache-tomcat-9.0.6\webapps\ROOT##OracleStatus.war

I feared as much.

Remove this entire <Context .../> element from you server.xml

Start Tomcat.

Done (assuming your app works and doesn't require additional resources).


To repeat. You are mixing up configuration of a <Context .../> element
(which shouldn't be in server.xml) with using the Manager web
application to deploy a new webapp.

You were reading this:
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/html-manager-howto.html#Deploy_a_Directory_or_WAR_by_URL

You should have been reading this:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/host.html#Automatic_Application_Deployment
