How to change the oracle All APPL_TOP password using FNDCPASS

Hi,
Please execute the below query copy the output. make the shell script then run your server .

select concat('FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager ORACLE ' || replace(ORACLE_USERNAME,'$','\$' ) || ' ',  concat(substr('FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager ORACLE ' || replace(ORACLE_USERNAME,  '$','\$'),46),'_OUR12')) muthu
from APPLSYS.FND_ORACLE_USERID
where READ_ONLY_FLAG = 'A'
and ORACLE_USERNAME in (select USERNAME from DBA_USERS);

mod_oc4j: Failed to find a failover oc4j process for session request for destination

The error 'mod_oc4j Failed to find a failover oc4j process for session request for destination' indicates that a session request was received by the Process Manger (PM). The PM was unable to find a java process to route the session to which would be defined as a "island" or "jgroup" and it failed.

The error indicates for some reason the OC4J process has become non responsive to the point where the PM has determined it failed or is no longer available. This error usually occurs when OHS (mod_oc4j) is not able to communicate ( over AJP ) with OC4J.

There are multiple reasons why this error may have happened: Some common reasons are

1. Load: e.g. Too many clients connecting to the application :
 - The number of requests are high enough that the process cannot respond to new requests prior to reaching the timeout period.

2. Performance: Heavily loaded JVM or Lack of enough memory for JVM
  - The OC4J oacore JVM processes in the middle tier are heavily loaded
  - High number of jdbc connections with database there by increasing the number of threads on the java process.


Solution :-

a) The number of jvms (oc4j in R12) is configured by the autoconfig variables s_oacore_nprocs, s_disco_nprocs, s_forms_servlet_nprocs and s_xmlsvcs_nprocs.

b) In 11i, those changes are made in the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.conf file, while in R12 in the $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3/opmn/conf/opmn.xml

Heap Configuration:

1) For OACore, start with the following configuration:

For R12.0 and 11i:

       -Xmx512M -Xms256M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
       -XX:NewRatio=2 -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps

For R12.1 and higher:

      -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M
      -XX:NewRatio=2 -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps

     Also, ensure you add the following parameter to the DBC file:

     JDBC\:oracle.jdbc.maxCachedBufferSize=262144

   

Adjust the heap sizes accordingly to minimize garbage collection frequency and user pause times due to full garbage collections.
In JDK 1.6, the JVM detects that you have a server class machine (2 or more CPUs with 2GB or more memory), and will automatically enable Parallel Throughput Garbage Collector. The number of GC threads defaults to the number of CPUs on the machine. If you are running multiple JVMs on the same machine, or if your machine has more than 2 CPUs, to avoid the GC threads to be overly active you should reduce the number of GC threads by using:

      -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2

In most cases, using 2 GC threads should be sufficient. If you are using heap size of over 1GB, you can experiment with 4 GC threads and see if it gives you better performance.


2) If using Forms in Servlet mode, the following configuration for FormsGroup should be enough for most of the cases:

      -Xmx256M -Xms128M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -XX:NewRatio=2

ORA-02082: a loopback database link must have a connection qualifier

ORA-02082: a loopback database link must have a connection qualifier

Solutin :-

a loopback database link needs a trailing qualifier, e.g.
  muthu.kirthi.com - the 'kirthi.com' is the qualifier

 CREATE DATABASE LINK "muthu.kirthi.com"
 CONNECT TO APPS
 IDENTIFIED BY <PWD>
 USING '10.2.0.189:1521/orcl';

WARNING: inbound connection timed out (ORA-3136)

WARNING: inbound connection timed out (ORA-3136)

When you see the error in the alert.log file

NOTE: It is normal warnings message , can be ignored.
Solution: 
set the following parameter in the sqlnet.ora
Both parameter will be set in the 'DB SERVER' side.
In the sqlnet.ora
SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT = 120
In the listener.ora
INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 120

How to Find the File version in Oracle Apps

1, How to find Version of Apache used with oracle apps R12 ? Log to Application tier as Operating System Usually called as APPLMGR ; go to location $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin and run command
./httpd -version
You will see output like

Server version: Oracle HTTP Server Powered by Apache/1.3.19 (Unix)
Server built: Dec 6 2005 14:59:13 (iAS 1.0.2.2.2 rollup 5)
Which means you are on iAS Version 1.0.2.2.2 with patchset rollup 5 with Apache Version 1.3.19

Server version: Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.2.0.2 Oracle-HTTP-Server

Above is output If you have installed 10g Application Server with 11i 

 2, How to find Jinitiator Version ?

Check for file like appsweb_SID_HOSTNAME.cfg under $OA_HTML/bin defined by environment variable FORMS60_WEB_CONFIG_FILE & search for entry like jinit_ver_name , you will see entry like
jinit_ver_name=Version=1,3,1,23
which means Jinitiator version is 1.3.1.23 ; if your version is 1.3.1.18 you will see entry like 1,3,1,18

3, How to find Forms Version in 11i ?

Login to forms from frontend , on top menu bar of forms click on "Help" & Select "About Oracle Applications" go to "Forms Server " section. You should see entry like below depending on your forms version
Oracle Forms Version : 6.0.8.26.0
Which mean you are on forms version 6.0.8.26 . If you want to know whats your forms patchset level then subtract 9 from fourth digit which means for above case form patchset 17 is applied.

4, How to find Forms Version in Apps from command Line ?

Enter "f60gen" on Forms Server and check for first line in output like
Forms 6.0 (Form Compiler) Version 6.0.8.26.0 (Production)
This confirms that you are on forms server version 6.0.8.26.0 and patch set 17. ( Patch Set = Fourth Digit - 9)

5, How to find any File Version R12 ?

In Oracle Applications under ad utilities there is utility called as adident Used for Identification purpose or to find out file version use
adident Header <filename>
 example  find file version of one AR form i.e. ARXGLCOR.fmx
adident Header ARXGLCOR.fmx
You should see output like
$Header APPSTAND.fmb 115.33 2002/04/04 11:13:40 pkm ship
$ $Header ARXGLCOR.fmb 115.15 2005/01/31 13:48 mraymond ship
Which means above form executable consist of two forms whose version is 115.33 & 115.15 resp. Similarly you can use adident to find version of any report in 11i.

6, How to find the Oracle Database version in 11i and R12?

Source the env file type sqlplus <username>/<Password>    press enter
