CHANGES

Recent applying of ATG RUP3 and associated patches

CAUSE

Although there is no customization done but there is some issue in the CUSTOM.pll
This is verified as follows:

1. Log into Apps and Turn OFF "Custom Code" in the Help->Diagnostics menu.
2. After turning off the custom code, it was possible to launch new requests and the
    requests went through successfully.

SOLUTION

1. Confirm that there is no CUSTOM.plx exists in $AU_TOP/resource.  If any exists then delete it.
2. Take a backup of the current  CUSTOM.pll which exists in $AU_TOP/resource.
3. Replace the current  CUSTOM.pll with a one from a working instance.
4. Regenerate the CUSTOM.pll and retest the issue.

Unable to find an Output Post Processor service to post-process request

ORACLE EBSR12.2.4


SYMPTOMS

You are attempting to run the Subledger Period Close Exception Report (XLAPEXRPT) and the report shows xml data only.
It is not properly formatted.

Associated logfile shows the following:


---------------------- 1) PUBLISH ----------------
Unable to find an output post processor service to post-process request 45999573

Check that the output post processor service is running

This can happen with other reports besides the one listed above.

CAUSE

The OPP processor did not close down properly and needed to be restarted.

SOLUTION

Bounce OPP processor.

Terminate then restart the OPP Output Post Processor.  The following steps were taken from Note 352370.1:

Responsibility: System Administrator
Navigation: Concurrent > Manager > Administer
Query for Name = Output Post Processor
Click button Restart
Click button Refresh, the "Actual" and "Target" values should show "1"


or 

Output Post Processor is Down with Actual Process is 0 And Target Process is 1


Go to System Admin>From OAM Dashboard >>CM status> Output Post Processor> select Abort option and clock on GO.
After Abort again select start.

check Output Post Processor actual value & Target Value.

Actual Process is 1 And Target Process is 1.

Issue resolved.

or 

- FNDSVC should exist under FND_TOP/bin
- Bring down all application services and relink the FNDSVC through adadmin or using the below command:

adrelink.sh force=y ranlib=y "FND FNDSVC"

- Restart all applications services and retest the issue.

or 

Output Post Processor is Down with Actual Process is 0 And Target Process is 1 

1. Shutdown Concurrent Managers

2. To ensure concurrent manager down; check there is no FNDLIBR process running.

ps -ef | grep FNDLIBR

3. Run adadmin to relink FNDSVC executable.

a. Invoke adadmin from command prompt
b. Choose option 2 (2. Maintain Applications Files menu)
c. Choose option 1 (1. Relink Applications programs )
d. Then type FND When prompted; ( Enter list of products to link (all for all products) [all] : FND
 )1
e. Ensure adrelink is exiting with status 0

4. Start Concurrent Managers


5. Check the Output Post Processor

REP-0004: Warning: Unable to open user preference file

Symptoms:

All concurrent requests that run REPORTS are printing the following warning in the request log.

“REP-0004: Warning: Unable to open user preference file”
Your local (customized) Oracle Reports preference file could not be opened.
This is just a warning, so the product will continue to run even if this occurs.

The possible causes of this error include the following:

CAUSE 1: The file was not found under the specified name in the specified location
CAUSE 2: You lacked the necessary privileges to open the file.

SOLUTION [ID 1120529.1] :

To resolve the warning, copy the prefs.ora file from your Reports Builder $ORACLE_HOME/tools/admin/ directory into the Applications $HOME directory.

Example:

Copy of the file prefs.ora in the directory /u01/prod/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/tools/admin to the directory  /home/applmgr/

Note: Bounce apache service.

After doing above steps my issue resolved.

Cold clone Oracle 12c Database steps on Linux

Environment detailed

OS:- Linux7.2 / 64 bits.

Oracle Database:- 12.1.0

                                        Cold clone PROD to UAT environment

What is Database Cloning?

Cloning is a process that can be used to create a copy of the existing Oracle database. Sometimes DBA’s need to clone databases to test backup, development environments and Relocating an database to another machine, and  recovery strategies or export a table that was dropped from the production database and import it back into the production database.

Cold backup Database Cloning is simplest method to clone the database . The disadvantage with this approach is that database will be down during cold backup.

The high level steps for How to clone the database using Cold backup Database Cloning
1) Take the cold backup of the database to be cloned
2) Copy all the backup files to the destination server
3) Create the init.ora ,then startup nomount then create the control file on the new location
4) alter database open resetlogs to bring the new clone online
