cd $FND_TOP/patch/115/sql
sqlplus apps/ @wfntfqup.sql APPS (appspwd) APPLSYS
e.g sqlplus apps/apps @wfntfqup.sql APPS apps APPLSYS
This purges the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue and rebuilds it with data currently in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table.
This is what purges all notifications
waiting in the queue to be sent. It will then populate the queue with the current data in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table.
Only notifications with mail_status = 'MAIL' and status = 'OPEN' will be re-enqueued in the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT
queue and sent by the mailer.

Here are steps/events for Oracle Workflow Notification Outbound Processing(eMail from Oracle Applications Workflow to
Users)
1.When workflow Engine determines that a notification message must be sent, it raises an event in BES (Business Event
System) oracle.apps.wf.notifications.send
Event is raised with Notification ID (NID) as event key
2. There is seeded subscription to this Event
3. Event is placed on WF_DEFERRED agent
4.Event is dequeued from WF_DEFERRED and subscription is processed
5. Subscription places event message to WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT agent.
6.Notification Mailer dequeues message from WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT agent and
6.1convert XML representation of notification into MIME encoded message (Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions) and
6.2 Send message by SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to intended user (If Test Address/Override Address is set
then email is sent to Test Address
E-Mail Notification is sent if all below conditions are true

a) Notification status is OPEN or CANCELED and
b) Notification mail_status is MAIL or INVALID and
c) Recipient Role has a valid e-mail address and Notification Preference is in the format MAIL%
d) Workflow Deferred Agent Listener is running
e) Workflow Notification Mailer is running
To check a) & b) run below query

SELECT status, mail_status FROM wf_notifications WHERE notification_id = ‘&NID’;
mail_status >> SENT means mail has gone out of mailer to user
To check c) run below query

SELECT email_address, nvl(WF_PREF.get_pref(name, ‘MAILTYPE’),notification_preference)
FROM wf_roles
ORACLE APPS DBA
WHERE name = upper(’&recipient_role’);
To check d) & e) Use OAM (Oracle Application Manager)

Workflow version embedded in 11i

************************
Run following SQL from apps user ;
SQL>select TEXT from WF_RESOURCES where NAME='WF_VERSION';
You should see output like

TEXT
-----------------------
2.6.0
Which means you are on Workflow Version 2.6.0
You can also use script wfver.sql in FND_TOP/sql to find version of workflow in Apps.
To Configure Workflow Notification Mailer need below information
PARAMETER_NAME VALUE

Select distinct status from wf_notification" this should return only one value CLOSED.
or simple do
update wf_notifications set status = 'CLOSED', mail_status = 'SENT';
commit;
Update workflow a/c pwd from backend

set define off
update APPLSYS.FND_SVC_COMP_PARAM_VALS set PARAMETER_VALUE=

A workflow notification send event (notification email) can fail at several different points, so monitoring it using one
method usually is not going to give you a complete picture.Additionally, you have to keep in mind that the process is
dynamic, meaning that as transactions are created into the queues they are also mailed out; so a
count of data is at best only a snapshot of a particular moment in time.
1. Here is a more robust script for monitoring the wf_notifications table:
select message_type, mail_status, count(*) from wf_notifications
where status = 'OPEN'
GROUP BY MESSAGE_TYPE, MAIL_STATUS
messages in 'FAILED' status can be resent using the concurrent request 'resend failed workflow notificaitons'
messages which are OPEN but where mail_status is null have a missing email address for the recipient, but the
notification preference is 'send me mail'
2. Some messages like alerts don't get a record in wf_notifications table so you have to watch the
WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue.
select corr_id, retry_count, msg_state, count(*)

from applsys.aq$wf_notification_out
group by corr_id, msg_state, retry_count
order by count(*) desc;
Messages with a high retry count have been cycling through the queue and are not passed to smtp service.Messages
which are 'expired' can be rebuilt using the wfntfqup.sql

file “ATGSuppJavaMailerSetup12_9392180_diag.txt” shows that the correct parameter was not used
when attempting to run. For instance “‘R-ex-hub01.internal.kfshrc.edu.sa’” was used for “Inbound mail server
(INBOUND_SERVER)” and on the other hand the file “wfmlrdbg23569786.html” shows the INBOUND_SERVER is
“appforms3.kfshrc.edu.sa”. For that reason the test failed and “Server {R-ex-hub01.internal.kfshrc.edu.sa} at port {143} is
not reachable” was generated.
Please do the following this.

748421.1 Oracle Workflow ATG Support: R12 Java Mailer Setup Diagnostic Test
and upload its archive file.
How does workflow Notification Mailer IMAP (Inbound Processing) Works:
This is the inbound flow:
1. Approver sends email response which is directed to the value defined in Replyto address.
a. This address has been setup by the customer’s mail administrator to route incoming mail to the IMAP Inbox folder.
2. The Workflow Inbound Agent Listener picks up the message. Only messages which are in ‘unread’ state are
evaluated; the rest of the messages in the inbox are ignored.
3. The message is scanned to see if it matches entries in the TAG file . Mail tags are defined in the OAM mailer
configuration pages and these list strings of text and actions to take if those strings are encountered. An example of this
are ‘Out of Office’ replies. If the string of the message matches a mail tag and the action is ‘Ignore’ then nothing else will
happen.
4. The message is then scanned for the presence of a Notification Id (NID). This NID is matched against valid NID for the
mailer node.
5. If valid NID is not detected, (and there is no matching TAG file entry) then the message is placed into the DISCARD
folder.
6. If a valid NID is detected the listener raises a subscription to the WF_NOTIFICATION_IN queue and places the mail
message in the Processed folder.
7. From this point on the message is handled by the product workflow (like PO APPROVAL) . An event created by that
group will monitor the WF_NOTIFICATION_IN queue and will trigger the rest of the approval workflow.
Here are steps/events for Oracle Workflow Notification Outbound Processing(eMail from Oracle Applications Workflow to
Users)
1.When workflow Engine determines that a notification message must be sent, it raises an event in BES (Business Event
System) oracle.apps.wf.notifications.send
Event is raised with Notification ID (NID) as event key
2. There is seeded subscription to this Event
3. Event is placed on WF_DEFERRED agent
4.Event is dequeued from WF_DEFERRED and subscription is processed
5. Subscription places event message to WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT agent.
6.Notification Mailer dequeues message from WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT agent and
6.1convert XML representation of notification into MIME encoded message (Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions) and
6.2 Send message by SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to intended user (IfTest Address/Override Address is set
then email is sent to Test Address
E-Mail Notification is sent if all below conditions are truea) Notification status is OPEN or CANCELED and
b) Notification mail_status is MAIL or INVALID and
c) Recipient Role has a valid e-mail address and Notification Preference is in the format MAIL%
d) Workflow Deferred Agent Listener is running
e) Workflow Notification Mailer is running
To check a) & b) run below query
SELECT status, mail_status FROM wf_notifications WHERE notification_id = ‘&NID’;
mail_status >> SENT means mail has gone out of mailer to user
To check c) run below query
SELECT email_address, nvl(WF_PREF.get_pref(name, ‘MAILTYPE’),notification_preference)
FROM wf_roles
WHERE name = upper(‘&recipient_role’);
To check d) & e) Use OAM (Oracle Application Manager)
How to purge e-mail notifications from the Workflow queue
Some times Due to large number of e-mail notifications to accumulated in the queue Workflow mailer will not start,To fix
this issue we need purge the notifications from the Workflow queue.
The below outlines the steps, Please take proper backup before performing the below.
1) You need to update the notifications you do not want sent, in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table.
2) Check the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table as below. Records where status = ‘OPEN’ and mail_status = ‘MAIL’ are
notifications that will have an e-mail notification sent.
SQL> select notification_id,status,mail_status,begin_date from WF_NOTIFICATIONS where status = ‘OPEN’ and
mail_status = ‘MAIL’;
3) This should show you which notifications are waiting to be e-mailed.
4) To update a notification so that it will not get e-mailed. Set the MAIL_STATUS = ‘SENT’. The mailer will think the e-mail
has already been sent and it will not send it again.
SQL> update WF_NOTIFICATIONS set mail_status = ‘SENT’ where mail_status = ‘MAIL’;
-> This will update all notifications waiting to be sent by the mailer.
5) Then run the script wfntfqup.sql to purge the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue and rebuild it with data currently in the
WF_NOTIFICATIONS table. This is what purges all notifications waiting in the queue to be sent.Only the ones where
mail_status = ‘MAIL’ and status = ‘OPEN’ will be placed in the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue and sent by the mailer.

warning when you try and do it there will be a performance hit while it re-reads all the data from the database - use on
Production Systems at you own risk!!
At the moment I'm currently configuring Oracle Internet Expenses (11, not 12) and several times we've granted a user the
"Internet Expenses" responsibility, they've logged into Oracle, selected Internet Expenses and then received an error
along the lines of "Internet Expenses is not a valid responsibility for the current user. Please contact your System
Administrator". For example when trying to access "Function Administrator" privilege you get the message:
[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0MEqgmtsvJg/TuscliEpSqI/AAAAAAAAluk/SOcrWWC-XZs/s1600/001%255B1%255D.png]
Figure 1: Sample error for "Functional Administrator" Responsibility
You only get this issue with Web-based responsibilities. If I'd assigned "Payables Manager" then it works without any
issues, the reason for this error is that in order to improve performance Oracle caches some information on the web
server. In order to "fix" this problem we need to clear the cache by following these steps;
Step 1: Log in and select the "Functional Administrator" responsibility

Now this is where we get a delicious taste of irony; this responsibility is web-based so if you are trying to fix a problem
that's occurring now and you don't already have this responsibility then I'm afraid you're too late. You'll have to bounce
the Apache server (something that will require a DBA). In short; you need to have granted yourself this responsibility
BEFORE you run into problems!

Fatal error in fdasql - AuditTrail Update Tables program error

14th January 2016
on R12
Fatal error in fdasql - AuditTrail Update Tables program error on R12
While running AuditTrail Update Tables concurrent request on e-business suite R12(12.1.3) as part of audittrail enable
process the request completed with Fatal error in fdasql, quitting.... Fatal error in fdacv, quitting.... Fatal error in fdaupc,
quitting error.
To fix the issue Check if you have enabled auditing for APPLSYS,APPS and the application schema owner you want to
audit, if not enable the auditing for the schema you wish to audit.
And also check the logfile to see if its failing at View AP_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS_ALL_AC1, If so change the group
status for the Audit Group AP_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS_ALL to disable – purge table
Now submit the AuditTrail Update Tables program again
FYI
Metalink note
AuditTrail Update Tables fails on View AP_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS_ALL_AC1 (Doc ID 727208.1)
Solution
1. Navigate to the audit group tables, and query back the table as before
2. Set the Group state to "Disable - Purge Table" for AP_SYSTEM_PARAMETERS_ALL. This option
Disable - Purge Table Drops the auditing triggers and views and deletes all data from the shadow
table.
3. Run the "AuditTrail Update Tables" concurrent program

R12 Audit Trail AP_SUPPLIERS AND vendor_site_code of

14th January 2016 AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL.
Seeded Functionality (R12) - Demo

Consider the following scenario:
We have a requirement where we need to capture the changes in vendor_name of AP_SUPPLIERS

AND vendor_site_code of AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL.
Now let us see the detailed Stepwise approach to achieve this in R12.
1. Enable Audit Trail Profile
Set the system profile AuditTrail:Activate to Yes at the site level.

Navigation: System Administrator Responsibility-->System--->Profile
2. Enable Audit for Schemas
We need to enable the audit for the schemas which are the owners of the tables, on which we are doing
audit.
We need to include APPS schema in every case.
In this case we need to enable audit for AP (as it is the owner of the tables AP_SUPPLIERS and
AP_SUPPLERS_SITES_ALL).
Navigation: System Administrator Responsibility--->Security--->AuditTrail--->Install
3. Audit Group Creation
Navigation: System Administrator Responsibility--->Security--->AuditTrail--->Groups.
Here we need to create the Audit Group under Payables Application. Create an audit group with a
proper naming convention, and select the group state as Enabled.
Now include the table names AP_SUPPLIERS and AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL.
4. Specify the Columns to be Audited
By default, Oracle has specified few columns under few tables that are Audit enabled. Check whether
columns which we want to audit exists under these particular tables. If not include the columns.
In this case (R12) Oracle has included few columns under AP_SUPPLIERS and
AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL. We don’t have the vendor_name under AP_SUPPLIERS. So include it.
Navigation: System Administrator Responsibility--->Security--->AuditTrail--->Tables
5. Run the concurrent request
Now in order to create the Audit tables and corresponding views for the base tables that we want to
audit, we need to run a concurrent request from System Administrator responsibility.
After the successful completion of the request, the audit tables and views will be created in the
database.
This will create following Audit tables:

AP_SUPPLIERS_A for AP_SUPPLIERS
AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL_A for AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL
Also it will create following main views based on base table and Audit table.
AP_SUPPLIERS_AC1 for AP_SUPPLIERS
AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL_AC1 for AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL
This will create Audit views on individual columns too. These will be in the form of TABLE_NAME_AV%
Query it with following command for the audit views of the table AP_SUPPLIERS
SELECT *
FROM all_objects
WHERE object_name LIKE 'AP_SUPPLIERS_AV%'
We have 25 audit views created, because Oracle has included few columns in the setup. When we ran
the audit trial update program it creates views for those columns too.
Now we need to check the view name for vendor_name column.
In this case we have the view AP_SUPPLIERS_AV25 created for vendor_name.

ORACLE APPS DBA
Verify it using the query
SELECT *
FROM Mosaic Sidebar Snapshot Timeslide
ap_suppliers_av25
Similarly, Query for the audit views of the table AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL
We are nothing to do with these audit tables and columns. Oracle has used these tables and views and
developed a report to report the changed data in these columns.
6. Run the Audit Report
Now run the report Audit report from System Administrator responsibility.
To do so we need to follow few steps as mentioned below.
Create template SUPPLIERS TEMPLATE to include the audit group (the one we created to include the
columns while doing the audit setup) i.e. AUDIT SUPPLIERS under Functional group.
Navigate--->Audit Trial--->Audit Trial--->Reporting--->Audit Industry Template
Then run the report by navigating

Navigate--->Audit Trial--->Audit Trial--->Reporting--->Audit Report
And pass the parameters for the remaining as per the requirement. Let us run the report for AUDIT
SUPPLIERS Group.
Here we are passing null for all fields So it tries to report the data which is Transacted by All users, of all
transactions, the data which has been changed before or equal to system time.
Select the VENDOR_SITE_CODE under the table name AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL and

VENDOR_NAME under the table AP_SUPPLIERS. Run the report.

7th January 2016 How to change Java heap size in R12 to avoid
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error?
How to change Java heap size in R12 to avoid java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error?
Recently we had encountered a situation, wherein end users where not able to get the R12 login page and
it just hangs, but all the opmn processess were up and running – adopmnctl.sh status gives status as
alive for all the components viz., HTTP, oafm, oacore & forms. The same environment was available and
end users were able to access without any isuses 15 minutes before. This error happens only when
multiple people login to the same page and perform simillar activity like employee self service form
etc. So where and what exactly could be the problem.
This is how we approached and resolved the issue.

First we checked apache error log. The following error was reported in the error log. search
==============================================================
Classic Flipcard
[warn]Magazine Mosaic ] oc4j_socket_recvfull
[client IP Address Sidebar Snapshot timed
Timeslide
out
[error] [client IP Address ] mod_oc4j: There is no oc4j process (for destination: application://oacore) available to service
request.
[error] [client IP Address] mod_oc4j: request to OC4J [servername:OC4J AJP Port Range for Oacore]
failed: Connect failed
==============================================================
Above error message does give us a hint that the problem is with oacore, but as i said earlier the oacore is alive
according to opmn.
Next, we verified the oacore log file.
($INST_TOP/logs/ora/10.1.3/opmn/oacore_default_group_1/oacorestd.err)
Error Message in the file
=======================================================
Exception in thread “OC4JMonitorThread” java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
=======================================================
While checking the error in file, parallely we opened another window to see the CPU and memory usage and we could
see one java process was taking more than 100% CPU. This process was spawned by the opmn -d process and the
process id didnt match with the oacore process id. Hint: adopmnctl.sh status will give the status as well the process id. It
looked like a end client java process.
At this stage we had 3 options.
1. Kill the java process which is consuming high cpu.

2. Bounce oacore component
3. Adjust java (jvm) memory parameters
Each of the above options has its own implications and advantages. To minimize the downtime we decided to kill the
java processes, and the moment we killed the java process, all the browsers which were hanging reported
instantaneously Internal Server Error. This proved to be a bad decision.
So we moved to the next option, bouncing the oacore service which we are sure will resolve the issue (temporarily) and
it did as expected. Basically when you bounce the services all the existing
connections and processess will be released which results in more available memory when you re-start the services.
Ok, now we tackled the problem and provided a temporary solution but we need to find a long term solution. This is
option 3, adjusting java memory size.
Steps to change the heap size.
First, you need to identify how much is the maximum heap size that you can set. Click here.
Once you had identified the maximum heap size, we need to change the configuration files to make it
permanent.
Step 1: Edit opmn.xml file.
Location : $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/opmn/conf/
Open opmn.xml
Search for string Xms or Xmx or module-id=”OC4J”
This search should lead you to below location
‘<‘process-type id=”oacore” module-id=”OC4J” status=”enabled” working-dir=”$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home”‘>’

‘<‘category id=”start-parameters”‘>’
‘<‘data id=”java-options” value=”-server -verbose:gc -Xmx512M -Xms128M ……]
The default value for Maximum (-Xmx) and Minimum (-Xms) heap sizes are 512M and 128M respectively.
Again here you have options, you can set both Xms and Xmx has the same value as Xmx if you feel all your sessoins
require higher memory or set a lower value for Xms and the maximum value for Xmx. Dont forget to change the values
under ‘<‘category id=”stop-parameters”‘>’
opmn.xml also contains jvm configurations for other components – oafm & forms.
Step 2: Edit oc4j.properties file.

Location : ($INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oacore/config) search
This step is optional since we had already made changes in opmn.xml but there is no harm in making the change here.
Classic Flipcard
This Magazine Mosaic
step will come handy Sidebar Snapshotspecific
for troubleshooting Timeslide
components of Oracle viz., configurator, iSupplier or any other
option which heavily utilizes/consumes CPU/memory.
Search for string Xms or Xmx or wrapper.
Option 1: If you find any of the above parameters change the values corresponding to the value you had mentioned in
opmn.xml or even more than that, as long as you dont exceed the maximum heap size limit.
Option 2: If you DO NOT find any of the above parameters, then make an entry like this, under the heading “# Java
Object Cache Configuration Parameters”
wrapper.bin.parameters=-Xms[Value]M -Xmx[Value]M -XX:NewSize=256M -XX:MaxNewSize=256M
Step 3: Edit Applications Context file
vi $CONTEXT_FILE
Location: $INST_TOP/appl/admin/SID_hostname.xml
search for string s_oacore_jvm_start_options
Change Xms and Xmx value. Repeat the same step for parameter s_oacore_jvm_stop_options.
Changes made in Step 3 will take effect the next time you run autoconfig, whereas Step 1 & 2 changes will take effect
the next time you bounce opmn services, but the values are not permanent in the sense these will be wiped off next time
you run autoconfig. Yes you can preserve the changes by placing it inbetween Begin and End customizations.
You can also increase the Garbage Collection threads parameter (-XX:ParallelGCThreads) to a higher value if you have
JDK 1.5 or more than 2 cpus or more memory.

we need to run two scripts:
1)Script which is responsible for bouncing Oracle HTTP Server (adapcctl.sh)

2)Script Mosaic Sidebar
which responsible Snapshot
for bouncing Timeslide

So basically, here is the sequence of steps you need to do :

1) Connect to Host Server using Putty
2) Change the Directory by using this command cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
3) And Execute below Commands in current Directory
3.1) adapcctl.sh stop
3.2) adoacorectl.sh stop
3.3) adapcctl.sh start
3.4) adoacorectl.sh start

adoafmctl.sh: exiting with status 204

One of our site i need to change SERVER IP address in Oracle application r12 on linux 5.
I changed IP address on both server ( we have two server 1. db server 2. application server)
after changing the server IP when we are trying to start application service, application service ended with below error
message:
Cause: Server IP address change
Solution:
Step:
1. logon to application server with applmgr user
2. go to $INST_TOP
3. stop application services ($ cd $INST_TOP/admin/scripts )
4. delete following files
rm -rf $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oacore/persistence/*
rm -rf $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oafm/persistence/*
rm -rf $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/forms/persistence/*
4. execute autoconfig on application tier
$cd $INST_TOP/admin/scripts
search
$. ./autoconfig {hit enter}

5. start all application services
6. re-test the issue

18th June 2015 Oracle Applications Tablespace Model - OATM and Manage
Tablespace alerts & PURGE & LOB Objects &Segments
Oracle Applications Tablespace Model - OATM
The Oracle Applications Tablespace Model was another long awaited feature that got introduced in 11.5.10.Prior to
11.5.10 by default each of the oracle applications product would have two dedicated tablespace holding the data element
and the other for storing the index eg GLD (For General Ledger base tables) and GLX (For indexes relation to the
General Ledger product).This easily resulted in some 300 odd tablespaces to manage apart from the system, temp and
the rollback tablespaces.
In the new Oracle Applications Tablespace Model (OATM) all these product related tablespaces have been consolidated
in two main tablespaces one for holding the base tables and the other for holding the related indexes. Apart from these
two tablespace you have an additional ten tablespaces including system tablespace undo tablespace and the temporary
tablespace. Thereby reducing the total number of tablespace in the OATM to twelve.
Apart from the obvious ease of management and administration with a reduced number of tablespace being involved the
OATM also provides benefits like efficient space utilization. This is achieved by supporting locally managed tablespaces
as opposed to the dictionary managed tablespace in the previous model.
OATM also supports uniform extent allocation and auto allocate extent management. In uniform extent management all
the extents have the same size and result in less fragmentation. Auto allocate extent management allows the system to
ORACLE APPS DBA

determine the extent sizes automatically.
OATM also provides additional benefits when implementing Real Application Clusters (RAC) in

Oracle Mosaic Sidebar Snapshot Timeslide
Applications.
• APPS_TS_TX_DATA - This tablespace hold the translational tables of all Oracle Applications products. For example the
GL_JE_HEADERS will be a part of APPS_TX_DATA.
• APPS_TS_TX_IDX - All the indexes on the product tables are kept under this tablespace.
• APPS_TS_SEED - The seeded data that is setup and reference data tables and indexes form this tablespace. For
example your FND_DATABASES table would reside in the APPS_TS_SEED tablespace.
• APPS_TS_INTERFACE - All the interface tables are kept in this tablespace for example the GL_INTERFACE table.
• APPS_TS_SUMMARY - All objects that record summary information are grouped under this tablespace.
• APPS_TS_NOLOGGING - This tablespace contains the materialized views that are not used for summary purposes
and other temporary
object that do not require redo log entries.
• APPS_TS_QUEUES - With the support for advanced queuing in Oracle Applications, the advanced queue tables and
related objects form a part of this tablespace.
• APPS_TS_MEDIA - This tablespace holds multimedia objects like graphics sound recordings and spital data.
• APPS_TS_ARCHIVE - Tables that are obsolete in the current release of Oracle Applications 11i are stored here. These
tables are preserved to maintain backward compatibility of custom programs or migration scripts.
• UNDO - The undo tablespace is used as automatic undo management is enabled by default in 11.5.10.This acts as a
replacement to red log files.
• TEMP - The Temp tablespace is the default temporary tablespace for Oracle Applications.
• SYSTEM - This is the SYSTEM tablespace used by the Oracle Database.

•Data Guard (9i)
•Data Guard (11gR2) Setup using Oracle Grid Control
Assumptions
•You have two servers (physical or VMs) with an operating system and Oracle installed on them. In this case I've used
Oracle Linux 5.6 and Oracle Database 11.2.0.2.
•The primary server has a running instance.
•The standby server has a software only installation.
Primary Server Setup
Logging
Check that the primary database is in archivelog mode.
SELECT log_mode FROM v$database;
LOG_MODE
------------
NOARCHIVELOG
SQL>
If it is noarchivelog mode, switch is to archivelog mode.
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
Enabled forced logging by issuing the following command.
ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
Initialization Parameters
Check the setting for the DB_NAME and DB_UNIQUE_NAME parameters. In this case they are both set to "DB11G" on
the primary database.
SQL> show parameter db_name
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_name string DB11G
SQL> show parameter db_unique_name
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_unique_name string DB11G
ORACLE
SQL>
APPS DBA This blog is written to share and help doer's.Please sh… search
The DB_NAME of the standby database will be the same as that of the primary, but it must have a different
DB_UNIQUE_NAME Sidebar
value. Snapshot Timeslide
The DB_UNIQUE_NAME values of the primary and standby database should be used in the
DG_CONFIG setting of the LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG parameter. For this example, the standby database will have the
value "DB11G_STBY".
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(DB11G,DB11G_STBY)';
Set suitable remote archive log destinations. In this case I'm using the fast recovery area for the local location, but you
could specify an location explicitly if you prefer. Notice the SERVICE and the DB_UNIQUE_NAME for the remote location
reference the standby location.
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=db11g_stby NOAFFIRM ASYNC VALID_FOR=

(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=DB11G_STBY';
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=ENABLE;
The LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT and LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES parameters must be set to appropriate values

and the REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE must be set to exclusive.
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT='%t_%s_%r.arc' SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=30;
ALTER SYSTEM SET REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=EXCLUSIVE SCOPE=SPFILE;
In addition to the previous setting, it is recommended to make sure the primary is ready to switch roles to become a
standby. For that to work properly we need to set the following parameters. Adjust the *_CONVERT parameters to
account for your filename and path differences between the servers.
ALTER SYSTEM SET FAL_SERVER=DB11G_STBY;
--ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='DB11G_STBY','DB11G' SCOPE=SPFILE;
--ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='DB11G_STBY','DB11G' SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO;
Remember, some of the parameters are not modifiable, so the database will need to be restarted before they take effect.
Service Setup
Entries for the primary and standby databases are needed in the "$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora" files
on both servers. You can create these using the Network Configuration Utility (netca) or manually. The following entries
were used during this setup.
DB11G =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ol5-112-dga1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = DB11G.WORLD)
DB11G_STBY =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ol5-112-dga2)(PORT = 1521))
)
ORACLE APPS DBA
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = DB11G.WORLD)
)
Backup Primary Database
If you are planning to use an active duplicate to create the standby database, then this step is unnecessary. For a
backup-based duplicate, or a manual restore, take a backup of the primary database.
$ rman target=/
RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;
Create Standby Controlfile and PFILE
Create a controlfile for the standby database by issuing the following command on the primary database.
ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS '/tmp/db11g_stby.ctl';
Create a parameter file for the standby database.
CREATE PFILE='/tmp/initDB11G_stby.ora' FROM SPFILE;
Amend the PFILE making the entries relevant for the standby database. I'm making a replica of the original server, so in
my case I only had to amend the following parameters.
*.db_unique_name='DB11G_STBY'
*.fal_server='DB11G'
*.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=db11g ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)

DB_UNIQUE_NAME=DB11G'
Standby Server Setup (Manual)
Copy Files
Create the necessary directories on the standby server.
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DB11G
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/DB11G/adump
Copy the files from the primary to the standby server.
$ # Standby controlfile to all locations.
$ scp oracle@ol5-112-dga1:/tmp/db11g_stby.ctl [mailto:oracle@ol5-112-dga1:/tmp/db11g_stby.ctl]

search
dga1:$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwDB11G] $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
Notice, the backups were copied across to the standby server as part of the FRA copy. If your backups are not held
within the FRA, you must make sure you copy them to the standby server and make them available from the same path
as used on the primary server.
Start Listener
Make sure the listener is started on the standby server.
$ lsnrctl start
Restore Backup
Create the SPFILE form the amended PFILE.
$ export ORACLE_SID=DB11G
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE='/tmp/initDB11G_stby.ora';
Restore the backup files.
$ rman target=/
RMAN> STARTUP MOUNT;
RMAN> RESTORE DATABASE;
Create Redo Logs
Create online redo logs for the standby. It's a good idea to match the configuration of the primary server.
ALTER SYSTEM SET STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=MANUAL;
ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE ('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/online_redo01.log') SIZE 50M;
ALTER SYSTEM SET STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO;
In addition to the online redo logs, you should create standby redo logs on both the standby and the primary database (in
case of switchovers). The standby redo logs should be at least as big as the largest online redo log and there should be
one extra group per thread compared the online redo logs. In my case, the following is standby redo logs must be
created on both servers.
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE ('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/standby_redo01.log') SIZE 50M;
Once this is complete, we can start the apply process.
Standby Server Setup (DUPLICATE)
Copy Files
Create the necessary directories on the standby server.
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DB11G
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/DB11G/adump
Copy the files from the primary to the standby server.

dga1:$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwDB11G] $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
Start Listener
When using active duplicate, the standby server requires static listener configuration in a "listener.ora" file. In this case I
used the following configuration.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = DB11G.WORLD)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = DB11G)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ol5-112-dga2.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /u01/app/oracle
Make sure the listener is started on the standby server.
$ lsnrctl start
Create Standby Redo Logs on Primary Server
The DUPLICATE command automatically creates the standby redo logs on the standby. To make sure the primary
database is configured for switchover, we must create the standby redo logs on the primary server.

ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE ('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/standby_redo02.log') SIZE 50M; search

Create Standby Using DUPLICATE
Start the auxillary instance on the standby server by starting it using the temporary "init.ora" file.
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE='/tmp/initDB11G_stby.ora';
Connect to RMAN, specifying a full connect string for both the TARGET and AUXILLARY instances. DO not attempt to
use OS authentication.
$ rman TARGET sys/password@DB11G [mailto:sys/password@DB11G] AUXILIARY sys/password@DB11G_STBY

[mailto:sys/password@DB11G_STBY]
Now issue the following DUPLICATE command.
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE
FOR STANDBY
FROM ACTIVE DATABASE
DORECOVER
SPFILE
SET db_unique_name='DB11G_STBY' COMMENT 'Is standby'
SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=db11g ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)

DB_UNIQUE_NAME=DB11G'
SET FAL_SERVER='DB11G' COMMENT 'Is primary'
NOFILENAMECHECK;
A brief explanation of the individual clauses is shown below.

•FOR STANDBY: This tells the DUPLICATE command is to be used for a standby, so it will not force a DBID change.
•FROM ACTIVE DATABASE: The DUPLICATE will be created directly from the source datafile, without an additional
backup step.
•DORECOVER: The DUPLICATE will include the recovery step, bringing the standby up to the current point in time.
•SPFILE: Allows us to reset values in the spfile when it is copied from the source server.
•NOFILENAMECHECK: Destination file locations are not checked.
Once the command is complete, we can start the apply process.
Start Apply Process
Start the apply process on standby server.
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
If you need to cancel the apply process, issue the following command.
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
If you prefer, you can set a delay between the arrival of the archived redo log and it being applied on the standby server
using the following commands.
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DELAY 30 DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE NODELAY DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
Test Log Transport
On the primary server, check the latest archived redo log and force a log switch.
search

ALTER SESSIONMosaic Sidebar Snapshot Timeslide HH24:MI:SS';
SET nls_date_format='DD-MON-YYYY
SELECT sequence#, first_time, next_time
FROM v$archived_log
ORDER BY sequence#;
ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;
Check the new archived redo log has arrived at the standby server and been applied.
ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format='DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';
SELECT sequence#, first_time, next_time, applied
FROM v$archived_log
ORDER BY sequence#;
Protection Mode
There are three protection modes for the primary database:

•Maximum Availability: Transactions on the primary do not commit until redo information has been written to the online
redo log and the standby redo logs of at least one standby location. If no standby location is available, it acts in the same
manner as maximum performance mode until a standby becomes available again.
•Maximum Performance: Transactions on the primary commit as soon as redo information has been written to the online
redo log. Transfer of redo information to the standby server is asynchronous, so it does not impact on performance of the
primary.
•Maximum Protection: Transactions on the primary do not commit until redo information has been written to the online
redo log and the standby redo logs of at least one standby location. If not suitable standby location is available, the
primary database shuts down.
By default, for a newly created standby database, the primary database is in maximum performance mode.
SELECT protection_mode FROM v$database;
PROTECTION_MODE
--------------------
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
SQL>
The mode can be switched using the following commands. Note the alterations in the redo transport attributes.
-- Maximum Availability.
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=db11g_stby AFFIRM SYNC VALID_FOR=

ALTER DATABASE SET STANDBY DATABASE TO MAXIMIZE AVAILABILITY;
-- Maximum Performance.
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=db11g_stby NOAFFIRM ASYNC VALID_FOR=

ALTER DATABASE SET STANDBY DATABASE TO MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE;

SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;

STARTUP MOUNT;

ALTER Mosaic
DATABASE Sidebar DATABASE
SET STANDBY Snapshot Timeslide
TO MAXIMIZE PROTECTION;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
Database Switchover
A database can be in one of two mutually exclusive modes (primary or standby). These roles can be altered at runtime
without loss of data or resetting of redo logs. This process is known as a Switchover and can be performed using the
following statements.
-- Convert primary database to standby
CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO STANDBY;
-- Shutdown primary database
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
-- Mount old primary database as standby database
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE;
On the original standby database issue the following commands.
-- Convert standby database to primary
CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY;
-- Shutdown standby database
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
-- Open old standby database as primary
STARTUP;
Once this is complete, test the log transport as before. If everything is working fine, switch the primary database back to
the original server by doing another switchover. This is known as a switchback.
Failover
If the primary database is not available the standby database can be activated as a primary database using the following
statements.
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE FINISH;
ALTER DATABASE ACTIVATE STANDBY DATABASE;
Since the standby database is now the primary database it should be backed up immediately.
The original primary database can now be configured as a standby. If Flashback Database was enabled on the primary
database, then this can be done relatively easily (shown here). If not, the whole setup process must be followed, but this
time using the original primary server as the standby.
Flashback Database
It was already mentioned in the previous section, but it is worth drawing your attention to Flashback Database once
more. Although a switchover/switchback is safe for both the primary and standby database, a failover renders the original
primary database useless for converting to a standby database. If flashback database is not enabled, the original primary
must be scrapped and recreated as a standby database.
An alternative is to enable flashback database on the primary (and the standby if desired) so in the event of a failover,
the primary can be flashed back to the time before the failover and quickly converted to a standby database. That
process is shown here.
Read-Only Standby and Active Data Guard
Once a standby database is configured, it can be opened in read-only mode to allow query access. This is often used to
offload reporting to the standby server, thereby freeing up resources on the primary server. When open in read-only
mode, archive log shipping continues, but managed recovery is stopped, so the standby database becomes increasingly
out of date until managed recovery is resumed.
To switch the standby database into read-only mode, do the following.
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY;
To resume managed recovery, do the following.
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
In 11g, Oracle introduced the Active Data Guard feature. This allows the standby database to be open in read-only mode,
but still apply redo information. This means a standby can be available for querying, yet still be up to date. There are
licensing implications for this feature, but the following commands show how active data guard can be enabled.
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY;
Since managed recovery continues with active data guard, there is no need to switch back to managed recovery from
read-only mode in this case.

NOTE:
Make sure that the OS user account has read and write permissions or an error will occur with Oracle 11g Release 1 due
to a bug with DBVERIFY.
In addition, Oracle provides block corruption detection and repair with the Oracle 11g Recovery Manager (RMAN) utility
during backup and recovery processing.
Block corruption can also be detected by querying the v$database_block_corruption dynamic performance view. To
repair block corruption, the dbms_repair package can be used with Oracle 11g
OUTPUT of DBV has the following
Total Pages Examined – The number of blocks inspected by dbv. If the entire file was scanned, this value will match the
BLOCKS column for the file in v$datafile.
Total Pages Processed (Data) – The number of blocks inspected by dbv that contained table data.
Total Pages Failing (Data) – The number of table blocks that have corruption.
Total Pages Processed (Index) –The number of blocks inspected by dbv that contained index data.
Total Pages Failing (Index) – The number of index blocks that are corrupted.
Total Pages Processed (Seg) – This output is new to 9i and allows the command to specify a segment that spans
multiple files. Mosaic Sidebar Snapshot Timeslide
Total Pages Failing (Seg) – The number of segment data blocks that are corrupted.
Total Pages Empty – Number of unused blocks discovered in the file.
Total Pages Marked Corrupt – This is the most important one. It shows the number of corrupt blocks discovered during
the scan.
Total Pages Influx – The number of pages that were re-read due to the page being in use. This should only occur when
executing dbv against hot datafiles and should never occur when running dbv against cold backup files.

Oracle Application R12.1.1 9239090 Patch adrelink failed LINUX

22nd May 2015
6.5
oraapps]$ grep failed /oracle/CBE/apps/apps_st/appl/admin/CBE/log/adrelink.log
Relink of module "FEMCCE" failed.
Relink of module "MSCCPP" failed.
-----------------------------------------

Relink of module "MSCSLD" failed.
Relink of module "MSCXGCAL" failed.
Well I tried two tips
1.
alter
$AD_TOP/bin/adrelinknew.sh:
CPP_LDFLAGS=' -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh'
with
ORACLE APPS DBA

CPP_LDFLAGS=' -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh -Wl,--noinhibit-exec'
2.downgrade The binutils from "binutils-2.20......el6'" to" binutils-2.17.50.0.6-6.0.1.el5.x86_64.rpm"
sh… search
but It's all on failed,the questions is still exist.

Solution:
After following the steps in Doc. 761566.1 and adrelink still doesn't work, try the following for RHEL 6 (only):
view $AD_TOP/bin/adrelinknew.sh
linux_release_file="/etc/issue" - Depending on your configuration, /etc/issue may not have proper permissions for
adrelink to view the file. You can change this to /etc/redhat-release.
Check the next couple of lines below linux_release_file="/etc/redhat-release" for:
if test -f "$linux_release_file"; then
grep "5\." $linux_release_file > /dev/null
Change "5\." to "6\.". It should now show:
if test -f "$linux_release_file"; then
grep "6\." $linux_release_file > /dev/null
This should resolve your issue.
You may also review the following docs and see if any applies.

notes or other blogs for myreference. Dynamic Views theme. Powered by Blogger.
How-To: Create Retroactive Blackouts
Product:
Classic Flipcard Enterprise
Magazine Manager
Mosaic Cloud Control
Sidebar Snapshot12CTimeslide
Product Version: 12.1.0.4.0
OS: Linux x86-64
Goal
Setting Blackouts allow you to support planned outage periods to perform emergency or scheduled maintenance. Putting
a targets (or multiple) under blackout will suspend monitoring and prevents unnecessary alerts being generated when for
example a database target is brought down for scheduled maintenance operation such as the application of a PSU
Patch.
When calculating a target’s availability, blackout periods are automatically excluded.
As said, a blackout can be set for one or multiple targets or for all targets defined on a specific host. You can schedule a
blackout to run immediately or in the future. Furthermore a blackout can be scheduled to run indefinitely or stop after a
certain duration specified.
Blackouts can also be extended (when for example maintenance takes longer than anticipated) or stopped (if
maintenance took less time than foreseen).
When a blackout period ends, the Management Agent re-evaluates automatically all metrics set for the target(s).
The blackout functionality is available from both the Oracle EM Cloud Control 12c console as well as via the EM
command-line interface “EMCLI”.
Often scheduled maintenance on one or multiple targets is performed without putting the target(s) under blackout. These
periods of time would be reflected as target downtime instead of planned blackout periods.
This will have a negative impact on the target’s availability records. In such situations, EM Cloud Control 12c allows you
to go back and define a blackout period in the past that should have occurred at that time. Having this possibility to
create “retroactive blackouts”, will show a more accurate picture of the target’s availability.
This document will show you how to define “retroactive blackouts”.
Retroactive Blackouts
In order to use this feature, you need to enable it. Go to “Summary – Monitoring - Blackouts" as show below.
[http://itconquer.com/uploads/images/DBAResources/TippsTricks/RetroActiveBlackouts/RetroactiveBlackouts_1.png]
The following screen will be displayed.

In order to use the feature to create "Retroactive Blackouts" we need first to activate it.
Click on "Retroactivde Blackout Configuration".
Select the checkbox to enable the Retroactive Blackout feature.
Although you can choose the reason for the blackout from a drop-down list, it is also possible to enter a new reason for a
blackout defined. Click on "Manage Reasons".
Click "Add Another Row". In our example I add the new reason "DB: Database Other".
Click "OK".
Now we will create a "Retroactive Blackout". On the Blackouts main page, under "Related Links" (bottom of the page),
click on the link "Create Retroactive Blackout". The "Create Retroactive Blackout: Properties" page will be displayed
as shown below.
Choose a reason for the blackout and click "Add".
From the screen "Search and Select: Targets", select the target(s) that you want to create a "Retroactive Blackout"
for.
In our example we choose a "Database Instance" as target type.
NOTE: Depending on the target type chosen, certain steps may be skipped. In our case we skip for example the steps
"Member Targets", "Targets on Host" and "Services", as a database instance has for example no "Member Targets".
Click "Next".
The "Create Retroactive Blackout: Time Period" screen is displayed. Here you have two option to choose from. The
first one is "Custom" where you specify the time period for Retroactive Blackout as shown below.
We choose the second option to specify the time period, which is "From Target Downtime Duration", which will display
the downtime duration available for the selected target(s).
In our example there are 4 downtime duration available to choose from for this specific Database Instance target.
Choose a target downtime duration and click "Next". The "Create Retroactive Blackout:Review" page will be
displayed.
Click "Next". A confirmation is displayed as shown below.
EMCLI Command line
As from EM 12c R4 (12.1.0.4) there is new verb availabe to create "retroactive blackouts". This feature needs to be
enabled from the Cloud Control Console as shown previously for usung this "emcli" command.
With the following command the syntax plus examples is shown for this "create_rbk" verb.
oracle@OMS_HOST:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.4/middleware/oms/bin> ./emcli help create_rbk

emcli create_rbk -reason="<blackout reason>"
-add_targets="name1:type1;name2:type2;..."
[-propagate_targets]
-schedule="start_time:<yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss>;end_time:<yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss>;[tzregion:<timezone region>;]"
Description:
Creates Retro-active blackout on given targets and updates their availability.
Only Enterprise Manager Administrators with OPERATOR privilege on target can perform this action.
The retro-active blackout feature needs to be enabled from the UI for using this emcli command.
The time period for creating retro-active blackout should not fall in current availability period
for any of the given targets.
Examples:
1. emcli create_rbk -reason="Testing" -add_targets="Oemrep_Database:oracle_database"
-schedule="start_time:2013-09-20 12:12:12;end_time:2013-09-20 12:15:00;tzregion:UTC"
Creates retro-active blackout on Oemrep_Database and updates the
target's availability record from 2013-09-20 12:12:12 UTC to 2013-09-20 12:15:00 UTC as blackout.
2. emcli create_rbk -reason="Testing" -add_targets="slc03sgc.us.oracle.com:host"
-schedule="start_time:2013-09-20 12:12:12;end_time:2013-09-20 12:15:00;tzregion:UTC"
-propagate_targets
Creates retro-active blackout on all targets on host slc03sgc.us.oracle.com
and updates their availability records from
2013-09-20 12:12:12 UTC to 2013-09-20 12:15:00 UTC as blackout.

--------------------------------------------------------X--------------------------------X--------------------------------------
Using Blackouts
Blackouts allow Enterprise Manager administrators to suspend all data collection activity on one or more monitored
targets. The primary reason for blacking out targets is to allow Enterprise Manager administrators to perform scheduled
maintenance on those targets.
A blackout can be defined for individual target(s), a group of multiple targets that reside on different hosts, or for all
targets on a host. The blackout can be scheduled to run immediately or in the future, and to run indefinitely or stop after a
specific duration. Blackouts can be created on an as-needed basis, or scheduled to run at regular intervals. If, during the
maintenance period, the administrator discovers that he needs more (or less) time to complete his maintenance tasks, he
can easily extend (or stop) the blackout that is currently in effect.
Blackout functionality is available from both the Enterprise Manager console as well as via the Enterprise Manager
command-line interface (EMCLI). EMCLI is often useful for administrators who would like to incorporate the blacking out
of a target within their maintenance scripts.
[https://www.blogger.com/null]
5.1 Working with [https://www.blogger.com/null] Blackouts

Blackouts allow you to collect accurate monitoring data. For example, you can stop data collections during periods where
a managed target is undergoing routine maintenance, such as a database backup or hardware upgrade. If you continue
monitoring during these periods, the collected data will show trends and other monitoring information that are not the
result of normal day-to-day operations. To get a more accurate, long-term picture of a target's performance, you can use
blackouts to exclude these special-case situations from data analysis.
[https://www.blogger.com/null] [https://www.blogger.com/null] Blackout Access
Enterprise Manager administrators who have at least Blackout Target privileges on all Selected Targets in a blackout will
be able to create, edit, stop, or delete the blackout.
In case an administrator has at least Blackout Target privileges on all Selected Targets (targets directly added to the
blackout), but does not have Blackout Target privileges on some or all of the Dependent Targets, then that administrator
will be able to edit, stop, or delete the blackout. For more information on Blackout access, see About Blackouts Best
Effort.
5.1.1 Creating a [https://www.blogger.com/null] Blackout

To create a blackout:
1. From the Enterprise menu, select Monitoring, then select Blackouts.
2. From the table, click Create. Enterprise Manager displays a wizard page to guide you through the steps
required to create a blackout. Click Help from any wizard page for more information on specific steps.
3. To display the latest blackout information, click the refresh icon.
5.1.2 Editing a [https://www.blogger.com/null] Blackout

To edit a blackout:
2. If necessary, use the Search and display options to show the blackouts you want to change in the blackouts
table.
3. Select the desired blackout and click Edit.
Note:
Enterprise Manager also allows you to edit blackouts after they have already started.
5.1.3 Viewing [https://www.blogger.com/null] Blackouts

To view information and current status of a blackout:
2. If necessary, you can use the Search and display options to show the blackouts you want to view in the
blackouts table.
3. Select the desired blackout and click View. Alternatively, if you are in View By - 'Targets in Blackout', then you
can click on blackout

Name', then you can click on a blackout name in the table to access the View Blackout page.
You can bookmark the View Blackout page as a quick way to monitor the status of a particular blackout. Click Refresh to
display the most recent blackout information.
5.1.3.1 Viewing Blackouts on Targets Monitored by a Specific Management Agent

To view the blackouts configured for the targets monitored by the Management Agent:
1. From the Cloud Control home page, click Targets and then All Targets. In the All Targets page, locate the
Management Agent in the list of targets. Click on the Management Agent's name. This brings you to the
Management Agent's home page.
2. The list of targets monitored by the Management Agent are listed in the Monitored Targets section.
3. For each of target in the list:
a. Click the target name. This brings you to the target's home page.
b. From the <Target> menu, select Monitoring and then click Blackouts. This allows you to check
any currently running blackouts or blackouts that are scheduled in the future for this target.
5.1.3.2 Viewing [https://www.blogger.com/null] Blackouts from Target Home Pages

For most target types, you can view a blackout information from the target home page for any target currently under
blackout. A blackout message provides pertinent blackout status information for that target.
5.1.3.3 Viewing Blackouts from Groups and Systems Target Administration Pages
For Groups and Systems, you can view blackout information about the number of active/scheduled blackouts on a
group/system and its member targets.
5.1.4 Purging Blackouts that have Ended

When managing a large number of targets, the number of completed blackouts, or those blackouts that have been ended
by an administrator can become quite large. Removing these ended blackouts facilitates better search an display for
current blackouts.
To purge ended blackouts from Enterprise Manager:

You can control blackouts from the Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Cloud Control Console or from the Enterprise
Manager command Mosaic Sidebar
line utility ( emctlSnapshot
). However,Timeslide
if you are controlling target blackouts from the command line, you
should not attempt to control the same blackouts from the Cloud Control Console. Similarly, if you are controlling target
blackouts from the Cloud Control Console, do not attempt to control those blackouts from the command line.
From the command line, you can perform the following blackout functions:
Starting Immediate Blackouts
Stopping Immediate Blackouts
Checking the Status of Immediate Blackouts
Note:
When you start a blackout from the command line, any Enterprise Manager jobs scheduled to run
against the blacked out targets will still run. If you use the Cloud Control Console to control blackouts,
you can optionally prevent jobs from running against blacked out targets.
To use the Enterprise Manager command-line utility to control blackouts:
1. Change directory to the AGENT_HOME/bin directory (UNIX) or the

AGENT_INSTANCE_HOME\bin directory (Windows).
2. Enter the appropriate command as described in Table 5-1, "Summary of Blackout Commands"
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/blackouts.htm#BEIIIEHD] .
Note:
When you start a blackout, you must identify the target or targets affected by the blackout. To obtain
the correct target name and target type for a target, see "Listing the Targets on a Managed Host."

particular target or list of targets
[<Target_name>[:<Target_Type>]]....
[-d <Duration>]
Be sure to use a unique name for the blackout so you can refer to it later when you want to stop or check the
status of the blackout.
The -d option is used to specify the duration of the blackout. Duration is specified in [days] hh:mm where
days indicates number of days, which is optional
hh indicates number of hours
mm indicates number of minutes
If you do not specify a target or list of targets, Enterprise Manager will blackout the local host target. All
monitored targets on the host are not blacked out unless a list is specified or you use
the -nodelevel argument.
If two targets of different target types share the same name, you must identify the target with its target type.
Stop an immediate blackout [https://www.blogger.com/null] emctl stop blackout <Blackoutname>
Set an immediate blackout for all [https://www.blogger.com/null] emctl start blackout <Blackoutname> [-nodeLevel] [-d <Duration>
targets on a host
The -nodeLevel option is used to specify a blackout for all the targets on the host; in other words, all the
targets that the Management Agent is monitoring, including the Management Agent host itself.
The -nodeLevel option must follow the blackout name. If you specify any targets after
the -nodeLevel option, the list is ignored.
Check the status of a blackout [https://www.blogger.com/null] emctl status blackout [<Target_name>[:<Target_Type>]]....
Use the following examples to learn more about controlling blackouts from the Enterprise Manager command line:
To start a blackout called "bk1" for databases [https://www.blogger.com/null] "db1" and "db2," and for Oracle Listener
"ldb2," enter the following command:
$PROMPT> emctl start blackout bk1 db1 db2 ldb2:oracle_listener -d 5 02:30
The blackout starts immediately and will last for 5 days 2 hours and 30 minutes.
To check the status of all the blackouts on a managed host:
$PROMPT> emctl status blackout
To stop blackout "bk2" immediately:
$PROMPT> emctl stop blackout bk2
To start an immediate blackout called "bk3" for all targets on the host:
$PROMPT> emctl start blackout bk3 -nodeLevel
To start an immediate blackout called "bk3" for database "db1" for 30 minutes:
$PROMPT> emctl start blackout bk3 db1 -d 30
To start an immediate blackout called "bk3" for database "db2" for five hours:
$PROMPT> emctl start blackout bk db2 -d 5:00
5.3 About [https://www.blogger.com/null] Blackouts Best

Effort
The Blackouts Best Effort feature allows you to create blackouts on aggregate targets, such as groups or systems, for
which you do not have Blackout Target (or Higher) privileges on all members of the aggregate target.
Here, an Enterprise Manager administrator has Blackout Target privilege on an aggregate target but do not have
OPERATOR privilege on its member/associated targets. You should ideally create a Full Blackout on this aggregate
target. When defining the blackout, you are allowed to select any member target, even those member targets for which
you have no Blackout Target privileges.
When the blackout actually starts, Enterprise Manager checks privileges on each member target and only blackout those
on which you have Blackout Target( or Higher) privileges. This automated privilege check and target blackout selection is
Enterprise Manager's "best effort" at blacking out the aggregate target.
5.3.1 When to Use Blackout Best Effort

The Blackout Best Effort functionality is targeted towards the creation of blackouts on targets of any aggregate type, such
as Group, Hosts, Application Servers, Web Applications, Redundancy Groups, or Systems.
All targets the blackout creator has Blackout Target (or higher) privilege on will be displayed in the first step of Create/Edit
Blackout Wizard. Once the blackout creator selects an aggregate type of target to be included in the Blackout Definition,
this Blackout is "Full Blackout" by default.
The creator has the option of choosing the Blackout to run on ”All Current” or ”Selected” Targets, by selecting the
appropriate values from the List box. Only when the "Full Blackout" option is chosen, will Blackout Best Effort affect
targets for which the creator does not have Blackout Target (or higher) privileges.
[https://www.blogger.com/null] Example Use Case
Consider 3 targets T1,T2 and T3 (all databases). A Group G1 contains all these 3 targets.
User U1 has OPERATOR privilege on T1,T2 and G1. User U1 has VIEW privilege on T3.
User U1 creates a scheduled full blackout on target G1. Scheduled implies that the blackout will start at a later point in
time.
At the time of blackout creation, the tip text Needs Blackout Target privilege, see Tip below the table would be shown
beside target T3.
When this blackout starts, if by that time User U1 has been granted OPERATOR privileges on target T3, then target T3
would also be under blackout. Otherwise only targets T1, T2 and G1 will be under blackout.

Setting EM Blackouts from the GUI and Command Line

[http://newappsdba.blogspot.in/2009/11/setting-em-blackouts-from-gui-
and.html]
Oracle Enterprise Manager provides you with the ability to monitor your environments and alert you once specified thresholds have been
reached. Blackouts allow you to suspend monitoring so you do not get notified. This is useful for scheduled maintenance windows, such
as cold backups, where the application and/or database may not be available.
As well, blackouts also suspends data collection for the given targets. This means that certain metrics such as availability will not be
affected.
To create a blackout from the GUI, login to Enterprise Manager, navigate to the target you would like to blackout and at the bottom of the
page under Related Links you will see a Blackouts link. You will be brought to the following page:
On the screen above you can view any blackouts that may currently be in effect as well as create new ones. To create a new blackout click
ORACLE APPS DBA

on the create button.
[http://lh4.ggpht.com/_bMH90GEkTL4/Su9dlBKYHbI/AAAAAAAABa0/DHKAUZqInsc/s1600-h/clip_image002%5b8%5d%5b2%5d.jpg]
On this page you can create a name for the blackout, with the default being “Blackout-<timestamp>”. You can also select the targets you
wish to set the blackout for. As you can see from the screenshot I am going to set a blackout for an infrastructure application server
(infra10g).
You can also provide a reason for the blackout by click on the Reason drop down list. Quite a few are available, from Server
Bounce toSecurity Patch. Jobs can be disabled by deselecting the Run jobs during the blackout checkbox. If your applying a security
patch then you may not want a scheduled backup to run as it will either error or cause problems.
[http://lh4.ggpht.com/_bMH90GEkTL4/Su9dl5RFHZI/AAAAAAAABa8/8sybNWAD7qY/s1600-
h/clip_image002%5b10%5d%5b2%5d.jpg]
The next screen allows you to select which components within the target will be blacked out. I selected a full blackout but you can select
certain members if the outage will only affect specific components.
[http://lh5.ggpht.com/_bMH90GEkTL4/Su9dmcr4sOI/AAAAAAAABbE/eAbFu3Ij1DU/s1600-h/clip_image002%5b12%5d%5b2%5d.jpg]
This screen allows you to schedule the blackout. It can either start immediately or you can choose a date along with a duration. Blackouts
can be repeating as well, so you only have to create one for that monthly maintenance window for example.
The last screen provides a summary and once you have finished reviewing click on the Finish button.
You can also set blackouts from the command line, which is useful if you have some maintenance scripts which are not executed from
Enterprise Managers job system. I’ve only tested this on linux but it should be the same for windows.
To set a blackout for a list of targets:
emctl start blackout <Blackoutname> [<Target_name>[:<Target_Type>]]…. [-d Duration]
To set a blackout for all targets on a host:
emctl start blackout <Blackoutname> [-nodeLevel] [-d <Duration>]
-nodeLevel tells the agent to stop monitoring all targets on the server.
-d Duration allows you to set a duration in the format of [days] hh:mm. ex. 1 02:05 means the blackout will last for 1 day, 2 hours and 5
minutes.
For example, to use this in a script in which all targets will be unavailable you would start a blackout at the beginning of the script and stop
it at the end:
cd $AGENT_HOME/bin
./emctl start blackout alltargets-myserver –nodeLevel
<Perform Maintenance Tasks>
cd $AGENT_HOME/bin
./emctl stop blackout alltargets-myserver

In this article, we will discuss blackout period in Oracle enterprise manager. The blackout is the part of the
administrator in Oracle. A blackout period can be defined for individual targets, a group of targets or for all
targets on a host. The blackout can be scheduled to run immediately or in the future, and to run indefinitely or
stop after a specific duration.
Step by Step explain:
First of all, we will go to Start=>All Programs=> Oracle - OraDb10g_home1=> Database Control

â€“ ORLDATA and specifying the system username and password after that we will
click Loginbutton.

9th January 2015 How to apply patch while you are in the middle of ADPATCH
How to Apply an 11i Patch When adpatch is Already Running
1. Using the adctrl utility, shutdown the workers.

a. adctrl
b. Select option 3 "Tell worker to shutdown/quit"
2. Backup the FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES table which is owned by the APPLSYS schema
a. sqlplus applsys/<password>
b. create table fnd_Install_processes_back
as select * from fnd_Install_processes;
c. The 2 tables should have the same number of records.
select count(*) from fnd_Install_processes_back;
select count(*) from fnd_Install_processes;
3. Backup the AD_DEFERRED_JOBS table.
b. create table AD_DEFERRED_JOBS_back
as select * from AD_DEFERRED_JOBS;
select count(*) from AD_DEFERRED_JOBS_back;
select count(*) from AD_DEFERRED_JOBS;
4. Backup the .rf9 files located in $APPL_TOP/admin/<SID>/restart directory.
At this point, the adpatch session should have ended and the cursor should
be back at the Unix prompt.
a. cd $APPL_TOP/admin/<SID>
b. mv restart restart_back
c. mkdir restart
5. Drop the FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES table and the AD_DEFERRED_JOBS table.
b. drop table FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES;
c. drop table AD_DEFERRED_JOBS;
6. Apply the new patch.
7. Restore the .rf9 files located in $APPL_TOP/admin/<SID>/restart_back
directory. Madhanappsdba,Some of the blogs will directly points oracle notes or other blogs for myreference. Dynamic Views theme. Powered by Blogger.
a. cd $APPL_TOP/admin/<SID>
ORACLE APPS DBA b. mv restart restart_<patchnumber>

c. mv restart_back restart
8. Restore the FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES table which is owned by the APPLSYS

Classic Flipcardschema.
Magazine Mosaic Sidebar Snapshot Timeslide
b. create table fnd_Install_processes
as select * from fnd_Install_processes_back;
select count(*) from fnd_Install_processes;
select count(*) from fnd_Install_processes_back;
9. Restore the AD_DEFERRED_JOBS table.
b. create table AD_DEFERRED_JOBS
as select * from AD_DEFERRED_JOBS_back;
select count(*) from AD_DEFERRED_JOBS_back;
select count(*) from AD_DEFERRED_JOBS;
10. Re-create synonyms
a. sqlplus apps/apps
b. create synonym AD_DEFERRED_JOBS for APPLSYS.AD_DEFERRED_JOBS;
c. create synonym FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES FOR APPLSYS.FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES;
11. Start adpatch, it will resume where it stopped previously.
How to apply patch while you are in the middle of patching
Summary
Sometimes when you are in the middle of applying a patch you may get adworkers errors or you can find out that a patch
is missing.
So you need to apply a second patch (which solves the problem) in the middle of a running patch.
1. Use adctrl (option 3) to tell all the existing workers to QUIT
2. Use adctrl (option 5) to tell managers that all workers have QUIT. (Adpatch session ends!)
3. Backup tables applsys.ad_deferred_jobs and applsys.fnd_install_processes.

Login as APPLSYS user and execute:
ALTER "TABLE" applsys.ad_deferred_jobs "RENAME" TO ad_deferred_jobs_old;
ALTER "TABLE" applsys.fnd_install_processes "RENAME" TO fnd_install_processes_old;
ALTER "INDEX" applsys.ad_deferred_jobs_u1 "RENAME" TO ad_deferred_jobs_u1_old;
ALTER "INDEX" applsys.fnd_install_processes_u1 "RENAME" TO fnd_install_processes_u1_old;
4. Go to $APPL_TOP/admin/SID/ for example $APPL_TOP/admin/TEST/ and rename the existing directory "restart"
$mv restart restart.old
5. Use adpatch to apply the second/other patch.
6. Login as APPLSYS and revert back to the original tables, ad_deferred_jobs and fnd_install_processes
ALTER "TABLE" applsys.ad_deferred_jobs_old "RENAME" TO ad_deferred_jobs;
ALTER "TABLE" applsys.fnd_install_processes_old "RENAME" TO fnd_install_processes;
ALTER "INDEX" applsys.ad_deferred_jobs_u1_old "RENAME" TO ad_deferred_jobs_u1;
ALTER "INDEX" applsys.fnd_install_processes_u1_old "RENAME" TO fnd_install_processes_u1;
CREATE SYNONYM FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES FOR APPLSYS.FND_INSTALL_PROCESSES;
CREATE SYNONYM AD_DEFERRED_JOBS FOR APPLSYS.AD_DEFERRED_JOBS;
7. Replace the original restart directory:
cd $APPL_TOP/admin/SID/ for example $APPL_TOP/admin/TEST/

mv restart restart_new
mv restart.old restart
8. Run adpatch to continue the first patch (with continue session?Yes)
9. Use adctrl (option 2, will change status to “Fixed/Restart”) to restart the failed workers for first patch
What to do if a worker fails during adpatch application on R12

In a different window constantly monitor the patch worker using adctrl command.
1. set the application environment file of R12
[https://www.blogger.com/null] 2. run adctrl
check the status of the worker using option 1 [Show worker status].
ORACLE APPS DBA

If a worker fails.
1. Check
Classic Flipcard adwork01.log
Magazine Mosaic [check the Snapshot
Sidebar failed worker number] file under
Timeslide
$APPL_TOP/admin//log directory for details about the error.
2. Fix the issue mentioned in worker file.
3. Use Option 2 [Tell worker to restart a failed job] to restart the failed job in adctrl
window.
4. If the issue is fixed properly the worker will start and complete the job and your
adpatch will continue executing.
Sometimes, you need to restart all the workers and exit the adpatch session and restart
it from the failed location will do your job.

Madhan

ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments:[4194], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
9, Continue to query metalink, about ora-600[4194], the ID 1428786.1 has a detailed explanation, the reason is because
of power outages or hardware failure, the database instance recovery rollback times,
Symptoms
The following error is occurring in thealert.log right before the database crashes.
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments:[4194], [#], [#], [], [], [], [], []
This error indicates that a mismatch hasbeen detected between redo records and rollback (undo) records.
ARGUMENTS:
Arg [a] - Maximum Undo record number inUndo block
Arg [b] - Undo record number from Redoblock
Since we are adding a new undo record toour undo block, we would expect that the new record number is equal to
themaximum record number in the undo block plus one. Before Oracle can add a newundo record to the undo block it
validates that this is correct. If thisvalidation fails, then an ORA-600 [4194] will be triggered.
Changes
This issue generally occurs when there is apower outage or hardware failure that initially crashes the database.
Onstartup, the database does the normal roll forward (redo) and then rollback(undo), this is where the error is generated
on the rollback.
10, The metalink solution is to rebuild the undo table space, the basic idea is to put the undo setting for the manual
management mode, the reconstruction of undo, and then restart the database

When i was making backup with rman it was throwing above error. firts we need to check alert.log
that shows next:
ARC3: Error 19809 Creating archive log file to '+DISKS'

Errors in file /u0/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/orcl/orcl/trace/orcl_arc0_3481.trc:

remaining bytes available.
************************************************************************
You have following choices to free up space from recovery area:
1. Consider changing RMAN RETENTION POLICY. If you are using Data Guard,
then consider changing RMAN ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY.
2. Back up files to tertiary device such as tape using RMAN
BACKUP RECOVERY AREA command.
3. Add disk space and increase db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter to
reflect the new space.
4. Delete unnecessary files using RMAN DELETE command. If an operating
system command was used to delete files, then use RMAN CROSSCHECK and
DELETE EXPIRED commands.
************************************************************************
Now we know what is problem, we have flash recovery area which is full, check it:
SQL> show parameter db_recovery_file_dest;
NAME TYPE VALUE

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_recovery_file_dest string +DISKS
db_recovery_file_dest_size big integer 4977M
select * from v$flash_recovery_area_usage;

result:
1
flash recovery area is full therefore, we have two option to solve this problem:
1) add size to flash_recovery_area if we have free disk space.
SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size=XG; (larger amount)

2) delete some archivelogs for free up flash_recovery_area.

5th December 2014 Database Refreshing clone oralce apps 11i using Rman
Database Refreshing clone oralce apps 11i using Rman
In order to facilitate troubleshooting we maintain a test environment which is a nightly copy of our 11i production environment.
Since this environment is usually used to test data fixes it has to be as up to date as possible. To perform the database refresh
we use rman's duplicate feature.
The goal of this article isn't just to provide the entire set of scripts and send you on your way. I think its safe to say that most
EBS environments aren't identical, so its not like you could take them and execute with no issues. Instead i'll highlight the steps
we follow and some of the key scripts.
NOTE: This doesn't include any pre-setup steps such as, if this is the first time duplicating the database make sure you have
the parameters db_file_name_convert and log_file_name_convert specified in your test environments init file.
· Step 1: Shutdown the test environment. If you are using 10g then remove any tempfiles. In 10g, rman now
includes tempfile information and if they exist you will encounter errors. Check this previous post.
[http://newappsdba.blogspot.com/2007/06/each-night-we-use-rmans-duplicate.html] Startup the database in nomount mode.
· Step 2: Build a Rman Script. There are a couple of ways to recover to a point in time and we have decided to use
SCN numbers. Since this process needs to be automated, we query productions rman catalog and determine the proper SCN
to use and build an rman script. Here it is:
set feedback off
ORACLE APPS DBA

set echo off
Classic Flipcard Magazineon Mosaic Sidebar Snapshot Timeslide

set serverout
spool $HOME/scripts/prod_to_vis.sql
declare
vmax_fuzzy number;
vmax_ckp number;
scn number;
db_name varchar2(3) := 'VIS';
log_file_dest1 varchar2(30) := '/dbf/visdata/';
begin
select max(absolute_fuzzy_change#)+1,
max(checkpoint_change#)+1
into vmax_fuzzy, vmax_ckp
from rc_backup_datafile;
if vmax_fuzzy > vmax_ckp then
scn := vmax_fuzzy;
else
scn := vmax_ckp;
end if;
dbms_output.put_line('run {');
dbms_output.put_line('set until scn '||to_char(scn)||';');
dbms_output.put_line('allocate auxiliary channel ch1 type disk;');
dbms_output.put_line('allocate auxiliary channel ch2 type disk;');
dbms_output.put_line('duplicate target database to '||db_name);
dbms_output.put_line('logfile group 1 ('||chr(39)||log_file_dest1||'log01a.dbf'||chr(39)||',');
dbms_output.put_line(chr(39)||log_file_dest1||'log01b.dbf'||chr(39)||') size 10m,');
dbms_output.put_line('group 2 ('||chr(39)||log_file_dest1||'log02a.dbf'||chr(39)||',');
dbms_output.put_line(chr(39)||log_file_dest1||'log02b.dbf'||chr(39)||') size 10m;}');
dbms_output.put_line('exit;');
end;
spool off;
This script produces a spool file called, prod_to_vis.sql:
run {
set until scn 14085390202;
allocate auxiliary channel ch1 type disk;
search

duplicate target Mosaic Sidebar
database to VIS Snapshot Timeslide
logfile group 1 ('/dbf/visdata/log01a.dbf',
'/dbf/visdata/log01b.dbf') size 10m,
group 2 ('/oradata/dbf/visdata/log02a.dbf',
'/dbf/visdata/log02b.dbf') size 10m;}
exit;
Note: Our production nightly backups are on disk which are NFS mounted to our test server.
· Step 3: Execute the rman script. Launch rman, connect to the target, catalog, auxiliary and execute the script above:
ie.
rman> connect target sys/syspasswd@PROD catalog rmancat/catpasswd@REPO auxiliary /
You may want to put some error checking around rman to alert you if it fails. We have a wrapper script which supplies the
connection information and calls the rman script above. Our refresh is critical so if it fails we need to be paged.
rman @$SCRIPTS/prod_to_vis.sql
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
echo Failed
echo "RMAN Dupcliate Failed!"|mailx -s "Test refresh failed" [email protected]
exit 1
fi
· Step 4: If production is in archivelog mode but test isn't, then mount the database and alter database noarchivelog;
· Step 5: If you are using a hotbackup for cloning then you need to execute adupdlib.sql. This updates libraries with
correct OS paths. (Appendix B of Note:230672.1)
· Step 6: Change passwords. For database accounts such as sys, system and other non-applications accounts
change the passwords using alter user. For applications accounts such as apps/applsys, modules, sysadmin, etc use
FNDCPASS to change their passwords.
ie. To change the apps password:
FNDCPASS apps/<production appspassword=> 0 Y system/<system_passwd> SYSTEM applsys <new apps passwd>
· Step 7: Run autoconfig.

· Step 8: Drop any database links that aren't required in the test environment, or repoint them to the proper test
environments.
· Step 9: Follow Section 3: Finishing Tasks of Note:230672.1
· Update any profile options which have still reference the production instance.
Example:
UPDATE FND_PROFILE_OPTION_VALUES SET

profile_option_value = REPLACE(profile_option_value,'PROD','TEST')
WHERE profile_option_value like '%PROD%
Specifically check
the FND_PROFILE_OPTION_VALUES, ICX_PARAMETERS,WF_NOTIFICATION_ATTRIBUTES and WF_RESOURCES tabl
es and look for production hostnames and ports. We also update the forms title bar with the date the environment was
refreshed:
UPDATE apps.FND_PROFILE_OPTION_VALUES SET

profile_option_value = 'TEST:'||' Refreshed from '||'Production: '||SYSDATE
WHERE profile_option_id = 125
;
· Cancel Concurrent requests. We don't need concurrent requests which are scheduled in production to
ORACLE APPS DBA

keep running in test. We use the following update to cancel them. Also, we change the number of processes for the standard
manager.

update Mosaic Sidebar Snapshot Timeslide
fnd_concurrent_requests
set phase_code='C',
status_code='D'
where phase_code = 'P'
and concurrent_program_id not in (
select concurrent_program_id
from fnd_concurrent_programs_tl
where user_concurrent_program_name like '%Synchronize%tables%'
or user_concurrent_program_name like '%Workflow%Back%'
or user_concurrent_program_name like '%Sync%responsibility%role%'
or user_concurrent_program_name like '%Workflow%Directory%')
and (status_code = 'I' OR status_code = 'Q');
update FND_CONCURRENT_QUEUE_SIZE
set min_processes = 4
where concurrent_queue_id = 0;
· Step 10: Perform any custom/environment specific steps. We have some custom modules which required some
modifications as part of cloning.
· Step 11: Startup all of the application processes. ($S_TOP/adstrtal.sh)
NOTE: If you have an application tier you may have to run autoconfig before starting up the services.

5th December 2014 Oracle Apps R12 cloning online hotbackup/rman
Oracle Apps R12 cloning online hotbackup/rman

In this article i will illustrate all steps involved in cloning an Oracle E-Business suite environment using online backup.
There are other ways also to do a clone of database with online backup. But in this article I am illustrating rman database
cloning with nocatalog option.
- Database will be backed up using rman

- Application File system will be backed up when all services are up and running.
source system - Existing system for which you want to create a new copy
ORACLE APPS DBA

target system - New system on which clone is prepared
Source and target OS - oracle solaris 10 - sparc 64-bit

Application Mosaic
Version - Sidebar Snapshot Timeslide
R12.1.1
Database Version - 11.1.0.7
High Level Steps:
1. Install all required rapid clone patches from Note "406982.1" on source system if doesn't exists.
2. Run clone preparation script (adpreclone.pl) on database and application Tier
3. Perform full database backup using rman
4. Perform application file system backup using tar/backup tool
5. Copy RDBMS ORACLE_HOME, rman backup pieces and Application FS on target node
6. Create database context file using clone configuration script (adcfgclone.pl)
7. Restore and recover database using rman
8. Run autoconfig on target database node
9. Run clone configuration script on application Tier on targte node.
10. perform post clone steps
Source and Target system Information:
[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z2n0Pmm_GlQ/URDB-dWuqAI/AAAAAAAACUU/YRU78NFkp5A/s1600/source_taget_info_hot.JPG]
check pre-req patches on source system:
- Perform all OS pre-requisites on target system (OS packages, users, groups, kernel parameters, Display, File system
privileges and space requirements)
For LINUX refer section "Perform all operating system per-requisites":

http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/11/installation-of-oracle-applications.html
For Solaris refer:

· Change ORACLE_SID to ERP test in newly created enviroment file

As we are not using catalog database from target we need to first restore and recover database using the same source SID.
Later we can change it to required SID (CLONE) using "nid"

export ORACLE_SID
#Original Value is CLONE, replaced for restore and recover of rman db

R12 - Cloning from an RMAN backup using duplicate

5th December 2014

R12 - Cloning from an RMAN backup using duplicate database
Since most DBA's are using rman for their backup strategy I thought I
would put together the steps to clone from an rman backup. The steps
you follow are pretty much the same as described in Appendix A:
Recreating the database control files manually in Rapid Clone inNote
406982.1 - Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone.
Here are the steps:

Execute preclone on all tiers of the source system. This includes both
the database and application tiers. (For this example, TEST is my
source system.)
For the database execute:

$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/<context>/adpreclone.pl dbTier
Where context name

ORACLE
For APPS DBA This
the application tier:blog is written to share and help doer's.Please sh…
$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adpreclone.pl
search
appsTier
Prepare the files needed for the clone and copy them to the target
server.
Take a FULL rman backup and copy the files to the target server and
place them in the identical path. ie. if your rman backups go to
/u01/backup on the source server, place them in /u01/backup on the
destination server. To be safe, you may want to copy some of the
archive files generated while the database was being backed up. Place
them in an identical path on the target server as well.
Application Tier: tar up the application files and copy them to the
destination server. The cloning document referenced above ask you to
take a copy of the $APPL_TOP, $COMMON_TOP, $IAS_ORACLE_HOME
and $ORACLE_HOME. Normally I just tar up the System Base Directory,
which is the root directory for your application files.
Database Tier: tar up the database $ORACLE_HOME.
ex. from a single tier system. The first tar file contains the application
files and the second is the database $ORACLE_HOME
[oratest@myserver TEST]$ pwd

/u01/TEST
[oratest@myserver TEST]$ ls
apps db inst
[oratest@myserver TEST]$ tar cvfzp TEST_apps_inst_myserver.tar.gz
apps inst
.
.
[oratest@myserver TEST]$ tar cvfzp TEST_dbhome_myserver.tar.gz
db/tech_st
Notice for the database $ORACLE_HOME I only added the db/tech_st

directory to the archive. The reason is that the database files are under
db/apps_st and we don't need those.
Copy the tar files to the destination server, create a directory for your
new environment, for example /u01/DEV. (For the purpose of this article
I will be using /u01/DEV as the system base for the target envrionment
we are building and myserver is the server name.)
Extract each of the tar files with the command tar xvfzp
Ex. tar xvfzp TEST_apps_inst_myserver.tar.gz
Configure the target system.

On the database tier execute adcfgclone.pl with the dbTechStack
parameter.
For example.
/u01/DEV/db/tech_st/10.2.0/appsutil/clone/bin/adcfgclone.pl
search
dbTechStack
By passing the dbTechStack parameter we are tell the script to

configure only the necessary $ORACLE_HOME files such as the init file
for the new environment, listener.ora, database environment settings
file, etc. It will also start the listener.
You will be prompted the standard post cloning questions such as the
SID of the new environment, number of DATA_TOPS, Oracle Home
location, port settings, etc.
Once this is complete goto /u01/DEV/db/tech_st/10.2.0 and execute the

environment settings file to make sure your environment is set
correctly.
[oradev@myserver 10.2.0] . ./DEV_myserver.env
Duplicate the source database to the target.

In order to duplicate the source database you'll need to know the scn
value to recover to. There are two wasy to do this. The first is to login
to your rman catalog, find the Chk SCN of the files in the last backupset
of your rman backup and add 1 to it.
Ex. Output from a rman> List backups

.
.
List of Datafiles in backup set 55729
File LV Type Ckp SCN Ckp Time Name
---- -- ---- ---------- --------- ----
7 1 Incr 5965309363843 15-JUN-09
/u02/TEST/db/apps_st/data/owad01.dbf
.
.
So in this case the SCN we would be recovery to is 5965309363843 + 1
= 5965309363844.
The other method is to login to the rman catalog via sqlplus and
execute the following query:
select max(absolute_fuzzy_change#)+1,
max(checkpoint_change#)+1
from rc_backup_datafile;
Use which ever value is greater.

Modify the db_file_name_convert and log_file_name convert
parameters in the target init file. Example:
db_file_name_convert=('/u02/PROD/db/apps_st/data/',
search
'/u02/DEV/db/apps_st/data/',
'/u01/PROD/db/apps_st/data/', '/u02/DEV/db/apps_st/data/')
log_file_name_convert=(/u02/PROD/db/apps_st/data/',
'/u02/DEV/db/apps_st/data/',
'/u01/PROD/db/apps_st/data/', '/u02/DEV/db/apps_st/data/')
Verify you can connect to source system from the target as sysdba.
You will need to add a tns entry to the $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora file
for the source system.
Duplicate the database. Before we use rman to duplicate the source
database we need to start the target database in nomount mode.
Start rman:
rman target sys/<syspass>@TEST catalog rman/rman@RMAN auxiliary

/
If there are no connection errors duplicate the database with the

following script:
run {
set until scn 5965309363844;
duplicate target database to DEV }
The most common errors at this point are connection errors to the
source database and rman catalog. As well, if the
log_file_name_convert and db_file_name_convert parameters are not
set properly you will see errors. Fix the problems, login with rman
again and re-execute the script.
When the rman duplicate has finished the database will be open and
ready to proceed with the next steps.
Execute the library update script:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/install/DEV_myserver where
DEV_myserver is the <context_name> of the new environment.
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"@adupdlib.sql
If your on linux replace with so, HPUX with sl and for windows servers
leave blank.
Configure the target database

ORACLE APPS DBA This blog is written to share and help doer's.Please
cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone/bin/adcfgclone.pl dbconfigsh…
search

Where is $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/DEV_myserver.xml
Configure the application tier.
cd /u01/DEV/apps/apps_st/comn/clone/bin
perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier
You will be prompted the standard cloning questions consisting of the

system base directories, which services you want enabled, port pool,
etc. Make sure you choose the same port pool as you did when
configuring the database tier in step 3.
Once that is finished, initialize your environment by executing
. /u01/DEV/apps/apps_st/appl/APPSDEV_myserver.env
Shutdown the application tier.
cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
./adstpall.sh apps/<source apps pass>
Login as apps to the database and execute:
exec fnd_conc_clone.setup_clean;
I don't believe this step is necessary but if you don't do this you will
see references to your source environment in the FND_% tables. Every
time you execute this procedure you need to run autoconfig on each of
the tiers (db and application). We will get to that in a second.
Change the apps password. Chances are you don't want to have the
same apps password as the source database, so its best to change it
now while the environment is down.
With the apps tier environment initialized:
FNDCPASS apps/<source apps pass> 0 Y system/<source system

pass>> SYSTEM APPLSYS <new apps pass>
Run autoconfig on both the db tier and application tier.
db tier:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/DEV_myserver
./adautocfg.sh
ORACLE APPS DBA
Application Tier This blog is written to share and help doer's.Please sh… search
cd Magazine
Classic Flipcard $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
Mosaic Sidebar Snapshot Timeslide
./adautocfg.sh
If there are no errors with autoconfig start the application. Your already
in the $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME so just execute:
./adstrtal.sh apps/<new apps pass>
Login to the application and perform any post cloning activities. You
may want to override the work flow email address so that notifications
goto a test/dev mailbox instead of users. We always change the colors
and site_name profile options, etc. More details can be found in
Section 3: Finishing tasks of the R12 cloning document referenced
earlier.
Thats it, hopefully now you have successfully cloning an EBS

environment using rman duplicate.

5th December 2014 Step by step Oracle Apps R12.1.3 Rapid Cloning
Step by step Oracle Apps R12.1.3 Rapid Cloning

Prerequisite Steps
1. If your target server holds at least one Oracle Apps R12.1.3 instance, you can skip for
any OS patch or software requirement section. As the server is running a Oracle Apps
instance, we can assume the server has all the
[https://www.blogger.com/null] mandatory OS patch and required software. Else look into the
metalink for platform specific requirements.
2. Apply Latest AD patch

Check whether AD patch version is atleast R12.AD.B.3. You can check that using
following query.
SELECT patch_level FROM fnd_product_installations WHERE patch_level LIKE 'R12.AD%'
If it is below that level apply patch 9239089.
3. Apply the latest AutoConfig template patch

Update the Oracle Applications file system with the AutoConfig files by applying the
latest AutoConfig Template patch (Patch 9386653 for 12.0.X customers and Patch
8919489 for 12.1.X customers) to all application tier nodes in the Applications instance.
You can check whether this patch is already there or not in your system by the following
sql.
SELECT * FROM ad_applied_patches WHERE patch_name = '8919489'
4. Apply the latest Rapid Clone patches

For Release 12.1 apply following patches.
9171651:R12.OAM.B 12.1 RAPIDCLONE CONSOLIDATED FIXES JUL/2010
9833058:R12.OAM.B HOT CLONE FAILS WITH ORA-00201 DURING RECOVERY

task runs the NLINS.sql script for every product. It invokes pl/sql routines that maintain
multilingual tables and untranslated rows.
Check Dual Tables:
This task looks for a dual table accessible by oracle applications and ensures the correct
grants are set up. If such table not exists or if an existing DUAL table has more than one row,
AD administration displays error. If a DUAL table containing only one row exists, AD admin
completes successfully.
Maintain multiple reporting currencies:
This option varies depending on whether you currently have multiple reporting currencies
(MRC) enabled or not.
If MRC functionality is implemented in your database, the option reads maintain multiple
reporting currencies.
Convert to multiple organizations:
To convert in to multiple-org does the following thing:
1. Confirms that you want to run the task

2. Asks for the number of parallel workers
3. Create script to disable and re-enable triggers in the APPS schema
4. Disable all triggers in the apps schema
5. Converts seed data and transaction data to multiple organizations in parallel.
6. Re-enable all previously disabled triggers in the apps schema.

Compile Apps Schema:
This task compiles uncompiled program units (pl/sql and java) in the apps schema.
You can perform this task with multiple workers.
When running this task, AD administration prompts,
Run Invoker's Rights processing in incremental mode [No]?
Type Yes at this prompt to run Invoker Rights processing only on packages that have changed

5th December 2014 ADADMIN Utility and its importants
ADADMIN Utility
ADADMIN UTILITY
In order to ensure that Oracle Applications system runs smoothly, we must perform routine
maintenance tasks. We run maintenance tasks from the command line using AD Administration.
Once we start this utility, it presents the tasks in menu form, grouped generally by type of
activity you will perform. For example, the tasks associated with compiling and reloading
Applications database entities are grouped on the same menu.
We can use AD Administration to complete some runtime tasks during or after an installation or
upgrade, or any time thereafter.
On a broad level the tasks performed by adadmin can be categorized into database
ac vi es andApplica ons ﬁle system management tasks.
Similar to AutoInstall and AutoPatch, adadmin can run parallel workers for most database tasks
and some file system tasks.
Preliminary Tasks before running Adadmin:

1. Logging in as applmgr.
2. Running the environment file.
3. Verifying if ORACLE_HOME is set properly.
4. Verifying if ORACLE_SID or TWO_TASK identifies the correct database.
5. Ensuring that ORACLE_HOME/bin and AD_TOP/bin are in PATH.
6. Shutting down concurrent managers when relinking certain files or performing certain
database tasks.
7. Ensuring sufficient temporary disk space.
Running Adadmin:
AD Administration asks you some initial questions.
1. It confirms your APPL_TOP is correct.
Ex: APPL_TOP is set to /u01/oaprod/oaprodappl
2. It asks for the name of the log file.
By default this is adadmin.log
3. It asks if we want to receive
Madhanappsdba,Some an email
of the blogs message
will directly points oracleifnotes
adadmin encounters
or other blogs a Dynamic

Views theme. Powered by Blogger.
4. Some SQL scripts perform row set processing. Adadmin asks us to set the number of rows
ORACLE APPS DBA
these scripts process. This blog is written to share and help doer's.Please sh… search
5. It asks us the type of files we currently have.

Ex: Do you currently have files used for installing or upgrading the database installed in this
APPL_TOP [YES] ? YES *
Do you currently have Java and HTML files for HTML-based functionality installed in this
APPL_TOP [YES] ? YES *
Do you currently have Oracle Applications forms files installed

in this APPL_TOP [YES] ? YES *
Do you currently have concurrent program files installed in this APPL_TOP [YES] ? YES *
6. It asks us to confirm the database and database home directory.

7. It asks for the SYSTEM password. It then determines the username for your Application Object
Library user.
8. It determines the AOL Schema from information in data dictionary and asks for the password of
AOL schema.
9. Adadmin determines other installation information.
ADADMIN MAIN MENU:

The main [https://www.blogger.com/null] menu of adadmin presents you with the following six
choices
AD Administration Main Menu [http://oracleappsdbaref.blogspot.in/2012/03/adadmin-utility.html]

--------------------------------------------------
1. Generate Applications Files menu
2. Maintain Applications Files menu
3. Compile/Reload Applications Database Entities menu
4. Maintain Applications Database Entities menu
5. Change Maintenance Mode
6. Exit AD Administration
first two options are related to maintaining applications file system the
[https://www.blogger.com/null] second [http://oracleappsdbaref.blogspot.in/2012/03/adadmin-utility.html]
two options relate to database activities, the fifth option here is used to put the system in
maintenance mode and bring it back from maintenance mode.
1. Generate Applications Files:
If system users are having difficulty accessing messages, forms, or reports, you may be able to
resolve the issue by generating the associated files. Or, when you apply a patch that adds or
changes product functionality, you may want to generate the associated files after you apply the
patch, instead of running the generate driver during the patching downtime. The generate files
tasks may be performed on any server, as required.
Under the Generate Applications Files Menu you can perform the following tasks
Generate Applications Files

----------------------------------------
1. Generate message files

2. Generate form files
ORACLE APPS DBA
3. Generate report files
4. Generate
Classic Flipcard Magazine graphics files
Mosaic Sidebar Snapshot Timeslide
5. Generate product JAR files
6. Return to Main Menu
a) Generate Message Files:

Oracle Applications uses these files to display messages. This task generates message binary
files (extension .msb) from Oracle Application Object Library tables.
Caution: Run this task only when instructed to do so in a patch readme file, or by Oracle
Support Services
b) Generate form files: Generates executable Oracle form files (extension .fmx) from the
binary forms definition files (extension .fmb). The definition files are located under AU_TOP, and
the executable files are stored under each product’s directory.
c) Generate report files: Generates the binary Oracle Reports report files (extension .rdf).
Adadmin Prompts for following information :

■ Ask for the number of workers and generate selected objects for selected products in parallel.
■ Display the current character set (from NLS_LANG) and ask if you want to generate form or
report objects in this character set.
■ Ask if you want to regenerate Oracle Forms PL/SQL library files, menu files, and executable
files. (Form files only.)
■ Ask for the products associated with the form or report objects.
■ Ask if you want to generate specific form or report objects for each selected product.
■ Display the current set of installed languages and ask if you want to generate form or report
files in these languages.
■ Create a list of all objects to generate.
■ Display the list of objects to be generated. (Specific objects or all objects.)
d) Generate Product JAR Files:

Generate Java archive (JAR) files whenever you upgrade the Developer technology stack or
when recommended by Oracle Support Services. It signs JAR files (if on the Web server) and
does the following:
■ Generates product JAR files in JAVA_TOP and copies them to APPL_TOP.

■ Generates other Java-related files under APPL_TOP and JAVA_TOP.
■ Recreates Java libraries (appsborg.zip and appsborg2.zip) under APPL_TOP and JAVA_TOP.
When you run the task, it prompts: Do you wish to force generation of all jar files? [No] If you
choose No, it generates only JAR files that are missing or out-of-date. If you choose Yes, all
JAR files are generated.
Note: If AD Administration displays a list of warnings or errors and objects that did not generate
successfully and asks if you want to continue as if successful, review the log file to determine if
the problems require attention. If you choose not to continue and restart your session at a later
time, AD Administration attempts to regenerate only the files that did not generate successfully.
e) Generate Graphics files:

This task generates Oracle graphics files for all installed languages. Extension of the file name
like (*.ogd).
2. Maintain Applications Files :
Certain maintenance tasks are required to keep your Applications files up to date. For example,
you may need to copy product files to a central location or convert files in the APPL_TOP to
another character set. These tasks are grouped on the Maintain Applications Files menu.
Under the Maintain Applications Files menu you can perform the following tasks
Maintain Applications Files

----------------------------------------
1. Relink Applications programs search
2. Create Applications environment file

3. Copy files to destinations
4. Convert character set
5. Maintain snapshot information
6. Check for missing files
a) Relink Applications programs
Relinks Oracle Applications executable programs with the Oracle server libraries so that they
function with the Oracle database. For each product, choose whether to link all executables or
only specific ones.
Note: The default is to relink without debug information. Use the debug option only when
requested to do so by Oracle Support Services.
b) Copy files to destinations
Copies files from each product area to central locations where they can be easily referenced by
non-Applications programs. This option uses revision-based copy logic to ensure that the
destination file versions are the same as, or higher than, the source file versions.
Note: We recommend that you do not use the force option to overwrite existing files unless
instructed by Oracle Support Services. Copying files with this option updates all JAR files.
JInitiator then downloads required JAR files to each client again, causing runtime performance
degradation.
The file types and their respective destinations are shown in the following table:
These files: copied to (UNIX)

Java files $JAVA_TOP
HTML files $OAH_TOP
Media files $OAM_TOP
Note: When this option is used to copy reports or graphics files, the default destination is under
AU_TOP.
c) Convert character set:
Prepares the files in the APPL_TOP for conversion to another character set, and then performs
the conversion.
When you choose this option, AD Administration presents another submenu, which contains
options for scanning your files in preparation for the conversion. The scan searches for
exceptions — files that will have incomplete (lossy) conversions — so that you can fix potential
problems before you actually convert the character set. Choose one of the following scan
options.
1. Scan the APPL_TOP for exceptions. Scans the APPL_TOP and creates three files in the admin\
<SID>\out directory.
File Contents
admanifest_excp.lst Lists files that will not be converted because of lossy conversion.
admanifest.lst Lists files that can be converted.
admanifest_lossy.lst Lists files with lossy conversions, including line by line detail.
Review the files listed in admanifest_excp.lst. Fix files that report lossy conversion before you
convert the character set. Repeat this task until there are no entries in admanifest_excp.lst. If
you need to see more detail, review admanifest_lossy.lst.
2. Scan a CUSTOM directory for exceptions. Collects the same information as the first task, but
scans custom Applications directories rather than the APPL_TOP directory.
3. Convert character set. Run this task only if admanifest_excp.lst has no entries. It prompts you
for the manifest file (admanifest.lst) created when you ran the scan option(s).
The utility backs up the product source files and the APPL_TOP/admin source files. It saves
product files in the <PROD>_TOP directories in the format <prod>_ s_<char_set>.zip. It saves
admin source files in the APPL_TOP/admin directory in the format admin_s_<char_set>.zip
d) Maintain snapshot information:
There are two types of snapshots: APPL_TOP snapshots and global snapshots. An APPL_TOP
snapshot lists patches and versions of files in the APPL_TOP. A global snapshot lists patches
Classic Flipcard
and Magazine Mosaic ofSidebar
latest versions files inSnapshot
the entireTimeslide
Applications system (that is, across all APPL_TOPs).
Both APPL_TOP snapshots and global snapshots may be either current view snapshots
or named view snapshots. A current view snapshot is created once and updated when
appropriate to maintain a consistent view. A partial view snapshot allows you to synchronize
only selected files from a current view. A named view snapshot is a copy of the current view
snapshot at a particular time (not necessarily the latest current view snapshot) and is not
updated.
Patch Wizard uses the information contained in the global current view snapshot to determine
which patches have already been applied. AutoPatch uses the APPL_TOP current view
snapshot to determine if all prerequisite patches have been applied to that APPL_TOP.
Snapshot information is stored in the AD_SNAPSHOTS, AD_ SNAPSHOT_FILES, and
AD_SNAPSHOT_BUGFIXES tables.
During a new installation, Rapid Install creates a current snapshot as a baseline. And, each time
you run AutoPatch, it automatically creates a new (updated) snapshot so that the information is
current as of the application of the patch.
Maintain Snapshot Information menu options :
■ List snapshots (stored in the system)

■ Update current view snapshot (full or partial APPL_TOP and global)
■ Create named snapshot (select a current view snapshot to copy and name)
■ Export snapshot to file (select one to export to a text file)
■ Import snapshot from (a text) file
■ Delete named snapshot (select a snapshot for deletion)
Maintain current view snapshot information: When you maintain a current view snapshot, you
can choose to synchronize selected files — maintaining a partial snapshot — instead of
synchronizing all files for the entire APPL_TOP. Use this option when you have copied only a
few files to the APPL_TOP.
1. Select the Update Current View Snapshot option from the Maintain Snapshot Information menu.
2. From the Maintain Current View Snapshot Information menu, select one of the following
options:
■ Update Complete APPL_TOP This is the original functionality of the Update Current View
Snapshot option. It synchronizes all the files in your APPL_TOP.
■ Update JAVA_TOP only Synchronizes only the files in the JAVA_TOP. At the prompt, enter the
path to the JAVA_TOP subdirectory where the files were copied. If the files were copied to more
than one directory, press Enter. AD Administration scans the entire JAVA_TOP and updates the
information in both the current view and the global view snapshots.
■ Update a <PRODUCT>_TOP Synchronizes only the files in a specific <PRODUCT>_TOP. Enter

the product abbreviation, then provide the subdirectory information at the prompt. Enter the
path to a single subdirectory in the <PRODUCT>_TOP. If the files were copied to more than one
directory in the <PRODUCT>_TOP, press Enter. AD Administration scans the entire
<PRODUCT>_TOP and updates the information in both the current and the global view
snapshots.
e) Check for Missing Files:

Verifies that all files needed to run Oracle Applications for the current configuration are in the
current APPL_TOP. Choose this task if you suspect there are files missing in your APPL_TOP.
3. Compile/Reload Applications Database Entities:

To compile or reload database entities, choose the Compile/Reload Applications Database
Entities Menu option from the AD Administration Main Menu.
You run the tasks on this menu any time you need to compile or reload database objects. For
example, after you upload new menu entries or apply a patch that changes the setup of
flexfields. Run these tasksonly on the node where the core AD technology directories (the
administration server) are located.
Under the Compile/Reload Applications Database Entities menu you can perform the following
tasks
Compile/Reload Applications Database Entities

---------------------------------------------------
1. Compile APPS schema
2. CompileMadhanappsdba,Some
menu information of the blogs will directly points oracle notes or other blogs for myreference. Dynamic Views theme. Powered by Blogger.
ORACLE APPS DBA
3. Compile flexfields
4. Reload JAR files to database

a) Compile APPS schema
Spawns parallel workers to compile invalid database objects in the APPS schema.
Note: The need for a separate MRC schema has been removed in this release, as has the
associated prompt to run Invoker Rights.
b) Compile menu information
Compiles menu data structures. Choose this task after you have uploaded menu entries to the
FND_MENU_ENTRIES table, or if Compile Security concurrent requests submitted from the
Menus form (after changing menu entries) fail for any reason.
AD Administration asks if you want to force compilation of all menus. If you choose the default
(No), only menus with changes are compiled. If you enter Yes, all menus are compiled.
Compiling all menus is generally not advised.
c) Compile flexfields
Compiles flexfield data structures in Oracle Application Object Library (FND) tables. Choose
this task after you apply a patch that changes the setup of flexfields. Patches usually indicate
when you should perform this step.
Flexfields automatically compile data when you use them for the first time, so running this task
is not required. However, compiling flexfield data at a specific time (for example, when system
use is low), rather than automatically at first use, can alleviate potential runtime performance
issues.
d) Reload JAR files to database
Reloads all appropriate Oracle Applications JAR files into the database. Choose this task if all
Oracle Applications Java classes are removed from your database, for example, if the database
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is reloaded because of a corrupt database.
4. Maintain Applications Database Entities:

During normal system use, the integrity of your database can be compromised, for example
through user error or after you apply a large patch. It’s a good idea to verify the integrity of
database entities as a regular maintenance procedure, or whenever the behavior of your system
indicates that database entities may have been corrupted.
Some tasks on this menu report on issues, or potential issues, with database entities, and
others actually remedy the issues. Run these tasks only on the node where the core AD
technology directories (the administration server) are located.
Under the Maintain Applications Database Entities menu you can perform the following tasks
Maintain Applications Database Entities

---------------------------------------------------
1. Validate APPS schema
2. Re-create grants and synonyms for APPS schema
3. Maintain multi-lingual tables
4. Check DUAL table
5. Maintain Multiple Reporting Currencies schema
a) Validate APPS schema
Verifies the integrity of the APPS schema. It produces a report named <APPS schema name>.lst
that lists issues and potential issues, grouped by the action required:
■ Issues you MUST fix (not specific to the APPS schema)

in $APPL_TOP/admin/<SID>/out (UNIX), where <SID> is the value of the
ORACLE_SID or TWO_TASK variable, or in %APPL_ TOP%\admin\<SID>\out (Windows), where
<SID> is the value of the LOCAL variable. Each section of the file contains instructions for
resolving the issues that are listed. Most issues can be fixed by either compiling invalid
database objects or recreating grants and synonyms.
b) Re-create grants and synonyms for APPS schema
This task recreates grants and synonyms for the Oracle Applications public schema
(APPLSYSPUB), recreates grants on some packages from SYSTEM to APPS, and spawns
parallel workers to recreate grants and synonyms linking sequences and tables in the base
schemas to the APPS schema.
Typically, you run this task after the Validate APPS schema task has reported issues with
missing grants and synonyms.
c) Maintain multi-lingual tables
Run this task after you add a language. It prompts you for the number of workers, then updates
all multilingual tables.
d) Check DUAL table
Some Oracle Applications products must access the DUAL table. It must exist in the SYS
schema and contain exactly one row. This tasks verifies the existence of this table and the
single row.
e) Maintain Multiple Reporting Currencies schema

It invokes PL/SQL packages which maintain database objects for these features. (See
admntmls.pls and admntmcr.pls in $AD_TOP/admin/sql)
MRC and MLS are both implemented using "adjunct APPS schemas", meaning a
complete copy of the objects in each APPS schema is replicated (and enhanced,
in some cases) into an APPS_MRC and/or APPS_MLS schema. Whenever a
change is made to an APPS schema, the modifications must be reflected in the
adjunct schemas; otherwise, MRC and MLS functions may fail.
This task is only displayed on the Database Objects menu if you have
Multilingual (MLS) or Multiple Reporting Currency (MRC) functionality currently
installed.
5. Change Maintenance Mode:

Maintenance mode controls the system downtime period by managing user logons. You toggle
maintenance mode from enabled to disabled from the Change Maintenance Mode menu.
Under the Change Maintenance Mode you can do the following
Change Maintenance Mode

----------------------------------------
Maintenance Mode is currently: [Disabled].
Maintenance mode should normally be enabled when patching Oracle Applications and
disabled when users are logged on to the system. See the Oracle Applications Maintenance
Utilities manual for more information about maintenance mode.
Please select an option:
1. Enable Maintenance Mode
2. Disable Maintenance Mode
If you notice the message this menu selection also shows the maintenance status (disabled in
our case) of the system.
You can also forcefully exit adadmin at any point of time by typing 'abort’, This will however
result in a unclean exit of adadmin and the next time when you run adadmin you will be
prompted with the option to start fresh or continue with the previous session as described
earlier.
The arguments and options that you can use to refine the operation of a utility are listed, along
with a brief description of how they work. Here’s an excerpt from the command line help for AD
Administration.
* <localworkers> = Used in Distributed AD. The number of workers to run on the local machine.
* <flags> = Generic flags passed to AD utilities. The available values for Adadmin are hidepw

5th December 2014 How to Gather Statistics for a Schema in Appplications

How to Gather Statistics for a Schema in Apps
Gather Schema Statistics is a Concurrent Program usually scheduled to run every week from Oracle Applications in
order to collect statistics.
FND_STATS provides a mechanism to gather the statistics and generate Histograms using the procedure
FND_STATS.GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS . This would gathers statistics for all objects in a schema. When gathering
Statistics for a table or an entire Schema CBO will cascade down and gather statistics for all indexes on each table, and
all the columns forMosaic Sidebartable
that particular Snapshot Timeslide
or schema.
To run concurrent program Gather Schema Statistics:
1. Log on to Oracle Applications with

Responsibility = System Administrator
2. Submit Request Window
Navigate to: List > Request > Run.
3. Enter the appropriate parameters. This can be run for specific
schemas by specifying the schema name or entering 'ALL' to gather
statistics for every schema in the database.
4. Submit the gather schema statistics program.
We can also submit the Gather Schema Statistics Concurrent request directly from the OS prompt using CONCSUB.
Details with example stated in : Using-Concsub-to-submit-Concurrent-Requests
Gathering Statistics Concurrent Requests

Oracle Applications provides a set of procedures in the FND_STATS package to facilitate collection of these statistics.
FND_STATS uses the DBMS_STATS package to gather statistics.
The following concurrent requests are available in Oracle Applications for gathering statistics:
Gather All Column Statistics

Gather Column Statistics
Gather Schema Statistics
Gather Table Statistics
For Oracle Applications 11i it is recommended to use only the 'Gather Schema Statistics' or the 'Gather Table Statistics'.
Common Parameters:
Schemaname
You may enter ALL to analyze every defined App schema.
Estimate_percent
Percentage of rows to estimate. If left empty it will default to 10%. The valid range is 0-99. A higher percentage will be
more accurate, but take longer to run. If the object(s) that you are gathering statistics for do not change often or the
object(s) has data entered that is very similiar you may choose a lower number. However, if the data changes frequently
a larger number entered for this parameter would be recommended to provide a more accurate representation of your
data.
Degree
Enter the Degree of parallelism. If not entered, it will default to min(cpu_count, parallel_max_servers). Modifying the
degree of parallelism on a table can cause the plan to change. Increasing the degree of parallelism is likely to make full
table scans appear cheaper and more attractive while reducing it will make Full Table Scans look less attractive.
Backup Flag
If the value is 'NOBACKUP' then it won't take a backup of the current statistics and should run quicker. If the value is
'BACKUP' then it does an export_table_stats prior to gathering the statistics.
Restart Request Id
Enter the request id that should be used for recovering gather_schema_stats if this request should fail. You may leave
this parameter null.
Gather Options
As of 11.5.10, FND_STATS.GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS introduced a new parameter called OPTIONS that, if set to
GATHER AUTO, allows FND_STATS to automatically determine the tables for which statistics should be gathered based
on the change threshold. The Modifications Threshold can be adjusted by the user by passing a value for modpercent,
which by default is equal to 10. GATHER AUTO uses a database feature called Table Monitoring, which needs to be
enabled for all the tables. A procedure called ENABLE_SCHEMA_MONITORING has been provided to enable
monitoring on all tables for a given schema or all Applications schemas.
Manual Execution
In R11i customers should be using the FND_STATS command.
Do not use the ANALYZE command or DBMS_STATS package directly, as doing so may cause incomplete statistics to
be generated.
Use the following command to gather schema statistics:
exec fnd_stats.gather_schema_statistics('ONT') < For a specific schema >

exec fnd_stats.gather_schema_statistics('ALL') < For all schemas >
We use the Verify Stats report to determine whether the current statistics are accurate.
This report is a utility provided with FND_STATS, and can be run as follows:

How to compile Oracle Apps R12 Forms and How to

5th December 2014
compile Oracle Apps 11i Forms
How to compile Oracle Apps 11i Forms
============================
Check whether the forms that you want to generate are not in use at the time you are generating them.
If they are in use when you generate the fmx files, the forms client session terminates.
1) Login to the Forms server node as applmgr and run .env file to set the applications environment.
2) Change directory to $AU_TOP/forms/US.
3) Use the “f60gen” command to generate the fmx files for the fmb files.
4) Issue the following command
$ f60gen module=<formname>.fmb userid=apps/<apps_pwd> output_file=/forms/US/<formname>.fmx
How to compile Oracle Apps R12 Forms

=============================
1) Log into the forms tier.
2) Set the applications environment
3) Ensure that the $FORMS_PATH includes $AU_TOP/resource and $AU_TOP/resource/stub, for example
echo $FORMS_PATH
/u01/oracle/DEV/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/resource:
/u01/oracle/DEV/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/resource/stub
4) Compile the form
a)- If you are using forms customizations (CUily: verdana,geneva;">1) Log into the forms tier.
2) Set the applications environment
3) Ensure that the $FORMS_PATH includes $AU_TOP/resource and $AU_TOP/resource/stub, for example
echo $FORMS_PATH
/u01/oracle/DEV/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/resource:
/u01/oracle/DEV/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/resource/stub
4) Compile the form
a)- If you are using forms customizations (CUSTOM.pll) then run the command below to compile the form.
frmcmp_batch.sh module=<path to fmb file> userid=APPS/APPS output_file=
<full path to fmx output file> module_type=form compile_all=special
For eg:-
frmcmp_batch.sh module=/u01/oracle/TEST/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/forms/US/

How to Generate a Specific Schema Form through AD utility adadmin:

=================================================
1. Start the adadmin Utility

bash-3.00$ adadmin
Note:-From a command line session, as the applmgr user, start the adadmin utility.
Please note that if your system is configured using more than one tier and more than one APPL_TOP (in contrast to the
shared APPL_TOP), you should run this utility from each forms tier.
2. Step Through the Initial adadmin Questions

Your default directory is '/oracle/prod/apps/apps_st/appl'.
Is this the correct APPL_TOP [Yes] ?
Note:-If the above is true, then hit the [Enter] key.
AD Administration records your AD Administration session in a text file
you specify. Enter your AD Administration log file name or press [Return]
to accept theMadhanappsdba,Some
default file name shown in brackets.
Filename [adadmin.log] : POXBWVRP.log
ORACLE APPS DBA
Note:-Here you can record your adadmin session in a specific log file like above.

APPL_TOP is set to /oracle/prod/apps/apps_st/appl
You can be notified by email if a failure occurs.
Do you wish to activate this feature [No] ?
Note:-This option only works in UNIX and the purpose of this question is to notify the AD administrator by mail if any
failure occurred while adadmin was running in unattended mode.
Note:-This option asks for a specific batch size, to reserve memory when adadmin validates package and procedure
information. This option only is meaningful when running database administrative related tasks. For the purpose of
generating a form, you can leave the default value.
You are about to use or modify Oracle Applications product tables
in your ORACLE database 'ancprod'
using ORACLE executables in '/oracle/prod/apps/tech_st/10.1.2'.
Is this the correct database [Yes] ?
Note:-If correct, hit the [Enter] key. Otherwise, exit this utility by typing "abort" plus the [b] key and verify if your
environment has been sourced correctly.
AD Administration needs the password for your 'SYSTEM' ORACLE schema
in order to determine your installation configuration.
Enter the password for your 'SYSTEM' ORACLE schema:
Note:-Here you must enter your SYSTEM database user password.
The ORACLE username specified below for Application Object Library
uniquely identifies your existing product group: APPLSYS
Enter the ORACLE password of Application Object Library [APPS] :
Note:-Here you must enter your SYSTEM database user password.
After finally reaching this point, the utility will try to connect to your database and get information regarding your system.
3. The next step which requires user interaction is the main menu:

----------------------------------------
1. Generate message files
2. Generate form files
3. Generate report files
4. Generate product JAR files
Enter your choice [5] : 2
AD utilities can support a maximum of 999 workers. Your

current database configuration supports a maximum of 276 workers.
Oracle recommends that you use between 64 and 128 workers.
Enter the number of workers [64] : 8
Note:-In order to determine the optimal number of workers for your system, you should consider the following general
rule:
Total of available workers for your system = (Number of processors) x 3
Your current character set is "UTF8".
Do you want to generate Oracle Forms objects
using this character set [Yes] ?
Note:-If this is your correct character set, hit [Enter]. Otherwise, please verify your environment.
Do you want to regenerate Oracle Forms PL/SQL library files [Yes] ?
Note:-In this case, we will generate PL/SQL library files, so you might reply 'y' to the above question.
Do you want to regenerate Oracle Forms menu files [Yes] ?
Note:-Same as above; reply 'y' to this question.
Do you want to regenerate Oracle Forms executable files [Yes] ?
Note:-Here, hit [Enter] to accept the default 'Yes'
Enter list of products ('all' for all products) [all] : PO
Note:-Now, we need to specify the Application short name. (po for Purchasing Order, gl, for General Ledger, ap for
Payables, and so on). In our example we will be using module fnd (Application Object Library).
In 11i, the entry must be typed using lowercase characters.

Output Post Processor (OPP) in Oracle Applications R12

2nd December 2013
and 11i
What is Output Post Processor?
Concurrent Processing now uses the Output Post Processor (OPP) to enforce post-processing actions for concurrent
requests.Post-processing actions are actions taken on
concurrent request output. An example of a post-processing action is that used in Concurrent Processing support of XML
Publisher.
If a request is submitted with an XML Publisher template specified as a layout for the concurrent request output, then
after the concurrent manager finishes running
the concurrent program, it will contact the OPP to apply the XML Publisher template and create the final output.
OPP runs as a service that can be managed through Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) from the System Activity page
(Navigation: Applications Dashboard > Applications
Service (from the dropdown list) > Go).
How to Increase the number of Output Post Processors?

1.Log on to Applications with “System Administrator” responsibility.
2.Navigate to Concurrent -> Manager -> Define.
ORACLE APPS DBA
3.Query for the “Output Post Processor” service.
4.Click on “Work Shifts” and increase the number of processes

to get OPP manager Snapshot Timeslide
log file location?
$APPLCSF/log/<SID>/FNDOPP####.txt OR
1,System Administrator > Concurrent > Manager > Administer
2,Search for ‘Output Post Processor’
3,Click the ‘Processes’ button .
4,Click the Manager Log button. This will open the ‘OPP’
Upload the OPP log file.
In some cases, Output Post Processor is not start up and it shows Actual and Target are showing different values when
we query for Output Post Processor.
The log files shows that no error message.In this case apply the following possible solution for starting the OPP.
1. Shutdown the internal manager by using adcmctl.sh stop apps/apps

2. Make sure there is no FNDLIBR processe running:
$ ps -ef| grep FNDLIBR OR ps -ef|grep applprod|grep FNDLIBR
3. If there is any FNDLIBR processe please kill it $ kill -9 pid
4. Run cmclean.sql script as document from Note 134007.1
5. Restart the internal manager by using adcmctl.sh start apps/apps
or How to kill and start Output Post Processor (OPP) Background:

This article explains how to kill OPP and restart the same
Solution:
1,System Administator > Concurrent > Manager > Administer
2,Query "Output Post Processor" -> Processes button
Get the sytem id of "Output Post Processor"
3,ps -ef|grep [system id]
4,kill -9 [system id] in Unix
5,System Administator > Concurrent > Manager > Administer
6,Query "Output Post Processor" -> Restart button
Fixing Output Post-processor actions failed issues in EBS R12
Environment: Oracle EBS 12.1.3, Oracle Database 11gR2, RedHat Linux5

Symptoms:
Users unable to open the out files.
Concurrent requests failed with “Post-processing of request failed error message”
One or more post-processing actions failed. Consult the OPP service log for details.
No further attempts will be made to post-process this request.
Cause:
The concurrent manager process was able to successfully invoke the Output Post-Processor (OPP) but encountered a
timeout as the OPP takes longer than the value
assigned to complete the job.
Solution:
1,Increase the value of profile Concurrent: OPP Response Timeout . Bounce Apache and retest.
2,If the issue still exists, perform the following steps.
3,Increase the number of Output Post Processors as follows:
4,Increase the number of processes for Output Post Processor.
5,Additionally, ensure there is a setting of oracle.apps.fnd.cp.opp.OPPServiceThread:2:0:max_threads=5 under

search
At least one OPP process active in the system. The concurrent processing uses the Output Post Processor (OPP) to
enforce Mosaic actions
post-processing Sidebar Snapshot requests.
for concurrent TimeslideFor example, post-processing action is that used in publishing
concurrent requests with XML Publisher.
Actually when you have submit a request with XML Publisher template specified as a layout for the concurrent request
output. Once finishes the concurrent manager concurrent program, it will contact the OPP to apply the XML Publisher
template and create the final output
To activate the OPP follow these setps
The Profile Option "Concurrent: GSM Enabled" must be set to Y
Then:
1. Login to Apps with sysadmin responsibility
2. Navigate to: Concurrent -> Managers -> Define
3. Query for
Manager = 'Output Post Processor%'

4. Check the checkbox "Enable" .
5. Click on 'Work Shifts button
6. see Work Shift of the OPP and
Set Processes = 1
and Parameters = oracle.apps.fnd.cp.opp.OPPServiceThread:2:0:max_threads=5
and Sleep Second = 30
7. Save
How to restart Oracle Apps 11i OPP via non unix command
It can be done using adcmctl.sh script only and there is no specific script for OPP. You can restart it from the application
via (System Administrator responsibility > Concurrent > Manager > Administer), select "Output Post Processor" and click
on the "Restart" button.
OPP Issue while generating the XML Output in apps 11i
Problem Description:
1, Few XML type concurrent programs taking long time and completed with warning OPP log file registered below error
Caused by: java.lang.ThreadDeath
2, CPU utilization taking 100% constantly while running the concurrent programs.
Cause
The java.lang.ThreadDeath error indicates that the Output Post Processor has reached its processing timeout.
Solution
The following configuration changes are recommended to optimize the environment for these type of reports:
1. Increase the value of the Concurrent: OPP Timeout profile option to 10800 seconds.
2. Enable the scalability feature of XML Publisher:
1. Login as SYSADMIN
2. Responsibility: XML Publisher Administrator
3. Function: Administration
4. Set the following properties:
5. Temporary Directory
6. Use XML Publisher's XSLT processor: True
7. Enable scalable feature of XSLT processor: True -- By default it’s false
8. Enable XSLT runtime optimization: True
> After changing the value also the problem still exist. As per the SR suggestion, we increased the java heap size from
1024M to 2048M.
a. Bring down the concurrent managers.
b. Use the Update statement below, for example:

update FND_CP_SERVICES
set DEVELOPER_PARAMETERS =
'J:oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsf.GSMServiceController:-mx2048m'
where SERVICE_ID = (select MANAGER_TYPE from FND_CONCURRENT_QUEUES
where CONCURRENT_QUEUE_NAME = 'FNDCPOPP');
c. Bring concurrent managers up again

27th November 2013 DBVERIFY or DBV
This article describes the basic details of the DBVERIFY (or DBV)
utility which can be used to check Oracle datafiles for signs of
corruption. The article gives summary details of how to use
DBV and what output to expect
DB verify is an simple check of the tablespace’s data file.

PARFILE Parameter File (NONE)
USERID Username/Password (NONE)
SEGMENT_ID Segment ID (tsn.relfile.block) (NONE)
HIGH_SCN Highest Block SCN To Verify (NONE)
(scn_wrap.scn_base OR scn)

feedback=100
[oratest@linux1]$ dbv FILE=/d01/test/db/apps_st/data/tx_idx4.dbf blocksize=2048
dbv can be executed by specifying the file name and block size of the datafile. All other parameters are optional.
As a DBA we should use this has automated or execute or scheduled regularly.

dbv file=data01.dbf blocksize=8192
DBVERIFY - Verification starting : FILE = /d01/oracle/VIS/db/apps_st/data/data01.dbf

[oravis@vis2 data]$ dbv file=data01.dbf blocksize=8192
NOTE:
Make sure that the OS user account has read and write permissions or an error will occur with Oracle 11g Release 1 due
to a bug with DBVERIFY.
In addition, Oracle provides block corruption detection and repair with the Oracle 11g Recovery Manager (RMAN) utility
during backup and recovery processing.
Block corruption can also be detected by querying the v$database_block_corruption dynamic performance view. To
repair block corruption, the dbms_repair package can be used with Oracle 11g
OUTPUT of DBV has the following
Total Pages Examined – The number of blocks inspected by dbv. If the entire file was scanned, this value will match the
BLOCKS column for the file in v$datafile.
Total Pages Processed (Data) – The number of blocks inspected by dbv that contained table data.
Total Pages Failing (Data) – The number of table blocks that have corruption.
Total Pages Processed (Index) –The number of blocks inspected by dbv that contained index data.
Total Pages Failing (Index) – The number of index blocks that are corrupted.
Total Pages Processed (Seg) – This output is new to 9i and allows the command to specify a segment that spans
multiple files.
Total Pages Failing (Seg) – The number of segment data blocks that are corrupted.
Total Pages Empty – Number of unused blocks discovered in the file.
Total Pages Marked Corrupt – This is the most important one. It shows the number of corrupt blocks discovered during
the scan.
Total Pages Influx – The number of pages that were re-read due to the page being in use. This should only occur when
executing dbv against hot datafiles and should never occur when running dbv against cold backup files.
Below script will show the any curruption

Login Screen having garbled buttons issues in R12.1.3 with

10th October 2013
I.E 10 . instead responsibility undefined error after upgrade it
form R12
R12.1.3 on IE10,IE9 some times after upgrading login screen garbled and undefined
IE10 on Windows 7,8 and it is throwing up some interesting items for R12.1.3. Looks like compatibility views are the only
way to get it to work properly.
Without the compatibility view everything is undefined. Make sure when we use IE10 on windows 7 and 8.
Issues with login page and once logged in it is grabled
Please please ALT + F key .You can see compatibility view under tools menu.Click it then R12.1.3 is ok .
I saw this after upgrade R12.1.3 issues. i asked for testing got this error and solved.
Oracle Support Notes 1395050.1 for fusion apps and 285218.1 for eBusiness will show the recommended browsers.
Chrome works well with OAF pages :) or where you use an extension to change the user agent for the browser to
another one.
