R12 install and post install Issues in 64 Bit Solaris

-
Recently, I installed R12 on Sun SPARC Solaris 64 Bit and I faced a few issues that I have listed below.



Issue 1

Installation errors with the below error in .log.

Statusstring Configuring Database
..
Log file located at ../ApplyDatabase_.log
..
RC-50004: Fatal: Error occurred in ApplyDatabase:
Control file creation failed

RW-50004: Error code received when running external process.

Error in ApplyDatabase_.log

WARNING: Default Temporary Tablespace not specified in CREATE DATABASE command

Errors in file /opt/apps/Release12/db/tech_st/10.2.0/admin/R12VIS_suomt06k/udump/r12vis_ora_3206.trc:
ORA-01565: error in identifying file '/opt/apps/Release12/db/apps_st/data/sys5.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
SVR4 Error: 25: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Cause
ST Patch 5752399 was not included in 12.0.4 media as it was not detected before the media was cut. Likelyhood of occurance is limited to specific hardware setup.

Solution
Apply Patch 5752399 while installation is underway.
1. Wipe out the failed installation and restart a new one.
2. Closely monitor the progress to catch the time it starts copying the datafiles.
3. While datafiles are being copied go ahead and apply patch 5752399 with following steps before rapidinstall calls the adcrdb.sh.
1. cd /rdbms/lib
2. mv config.s config.s.before5752399
3. cp config.s.ouibak.3 config.s
4. Apply the patch 5752399
5. Try SQL*Plus and make sure it doesn't fail with ORA-3113
4. If above steps are completed before adcrdb.sh, install will continue successfully, otherwise repeat the steps but faster.

Issue 2

Unzip of appltop failed during install with the below error.

Unzip Failed:
Cannot execute install of appltop

Cause

APPL_TOP zip files were not unzipped correctly.

Solution

Unzip all the APPL_TOP zip files once more. That did not work unfortunately. Then, I downloaded the zip file which has an issue once more from edelivery and proceeded with the installation.

References: NA


Issue 3

HTTP services weren't started after install. Output of opmn log file (/opt/apps/Release12/inst/apps/R12VIS_suomt06k/logs/appl/admin/log/adopmnctl.txt) as below.

11/17/08-07:18:57 :: adopmnctl.sh: Starting Oracle Process Manager (OPMN)
libopmnoraclenls.so: unable to load ÿ¿òPÿ¿ò\206ÿ¿ò\211ÿ¿ò\214

main: NLS initialization failed!!
opmnctl: opmn start failed.
11/17/08-07:18:58 :: adopmnctl.sh: exiting with status 2

Cause

This issue is due to the libclntsh.so.10.1 library not being present under the lib32 folder.

Solution

1) Simply copy the file libclntsh.so.10.1 file from a working
environment to non-working environment into the lib32 directory.
But, this is applicable only to the same version of OS.
OR
2) You can generate libclntsh.so.10.1 by executing the following command
$10.1.3_OH/bin/genclntsh -32
3) Setting the correct oracle home to 10.1.3 then running that ./bin/genclntsh helps:

If you run with the -32 option it updates the ./lib32 version of libclntsh.so.10.1
If you run without the -32 option it updates the ./lib version of libclntsh.so.10.1
( and similarly if it was set to 10.1.2, libclntsh.so.10.1 will be created in 10.1.2/lib )
So it is very important to set OH to 10.1.3.

Issue 4

When attempting to open any forms, the following error occurs:

ERROR
FRM-40833: Could not completely load the dynamic user exit libraries.
User exit FND did not execute.

Cause

Relink generated a corrupted $FND_TOP/bin/fndfmxit.so due to missing $GMA_TOP/lib/libgma.a.

Solution

1. Copy the library libgma.a from a backup taken after installation of RUP3 patch to $GMA_TOP/lib
2. Relink fndfmxit.so by running:
adrelink.sh force=y "fnd fndfmxit.so"

References: NOTE:554927.1


Issue 5

Concurrent Managers weren't coming up. The error in the ICM log file ($APPLCSF/$APPLLOG/_.mgr)

ld.so.1: FNDLIBR: fatal: /opt/apps/Release12/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Killed
The R12VIS_1117@R12VIS internal concurrent manager has terminated with status 137 - giving up.

Cause

Using a 64 bit executable and trying to link to 32 bit libraries.

Solution

1) You can generate libclntsh.so.10.1 under $10.1.2_ORACLE_HOME/lib32 by executing the following command
$10.1.2_OH/bin/genclntsh -32

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError while trying to Access login page

-
Today morning, we (the DBAs) were faced with a strange issue. On Saturday (the 14th of February - (St.) Valentine's day!!), the UNIX boxes hosting our critical test instance went down for scheduled maintenance without any prior information. So, we could not bring down our databases and applications. As soon as the unix box came up, we encountered this issue. Let me briefly describe the environment, the issue, the analysis performed and of course, the solution to this most vexing problem. Environment : Apps Version : 11.5.10.2 with ATG RUP 5 DB Version : 10.2.0.3 Architecture : Two Node instance with database + admin on one tier and web server on another. PS : Another instance (development) exists on the same server with the same configuration, which was working fine. Issue : When trying to access the login page of Oracle Apps, received the below error. Even OAM login page was throwing the same error. Request URI: /OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp Exception: java.lang.ExceptionInIniti

Solution to "End Program - WMS Idle"

-

Though this topic is unrelated any Apps DBA topics, I found it necessary to share the solution so that everyone benifits out of it ! Issue: I used to receive the below error message whenever I tried to shutdown windows XP. A rather vexing problem, no doubt. Cause: This message appears because when windows is trying to shutdown and end all the running processes, the WMS idle process keeps working. Thus an end-program message appears. The two most common reasons for this are: Scout service run by Nero 7 Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 Solution: The fix is simple, disable the Nero 7 scout service if it is enabled. For this, go to Start > All Programs > Nero > Tools > Nero Scout . On this screen , Uncheck Enable the Nero scout. This will fix the issue for most of the users, for the rest of you who are not using Nero are most probably getting this error because of Microsoft Office Communicator 2005. For that you need to either manually exit the communicator 2005 from the s

WGET shell Script for downloading patches

-
What I have to offer this time is a script using which you can download patches using WGET from Meta.....oops, from My Oracle Support, I should say! This script needs (or accepts) the following parameters: 1. Me...oops...MOS Username 2. MOS (I got it right this time!) password 3. Patch file name 4. ARU Number You can get 3 and 4 in the following way: Using MOS: Query for the particular patch, click on the download link, click on WGET Options on the left side bottom corner and then copy the WGET script to clipboard. That script will have both the patch name and the ARU number. Using HTML (supporthtml.oracle.com): Query for the particular patch, click on the patch, then RIGHT CLICK on the patch zip file link and click on copy shortcut in IE (or copy link location in Mozilla Firefox). This link will have both the patch file name and the ARU number. Using the classic patches window: Query for the particular patch, then RIGHT CLICK on the DOWNLOAD button and click on copy shortcut in IE (or
