EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in Jinitiator and IE crashes

-
The Environment
Apps Version : 11.5.10.2
Jinitiator Version : 1.3.1.26
Internet Explorer Version : 6

The Issue
One of our end users was receiving a very strange error while using jinitiator. The Internet explorer window would crash (close by itself) after creating a file HS_ERR_PID<####>.log on the desktop, where #### stands for the Process ID of the f60webmx session.

This error is intermittent and not easily reproducible. Moreover, the user would have to redo his/her work and hence this issue was turning out to be very vexing indeed.

The error log is as below:

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION occurred at PC=0x6D043D1AFunction name=Java_sun_java2d_loops_DefaultComponent_IntIsomorphicCopy

Initial Troubleshooting
Uninstalling and reinstalling jinitiator did not work. So, probed in Metalink to find out whether it is a known issue.

Found only one relevant hit in Metalink - Doc ID: 422761.1 - for this issue.

The Cause
As per the Note 422761.1, "This is a work station hardware issue related to a device driver associated with usually video cards. It also could cause by other device drivers."

The Solution
Again, as per the Note 422761.1, there are 2 solutions.

Solution 1
1. Add the following parameter to your Jinitiator Java Runtime Parameters:2. Control Panel > Open Jinitiaitor 1.3.1.24 (or whatever version) > [Tab] Basic > Enter the following in your Java Runtime Parameters field:
-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true
3. Click Apply
4. Open your browser, then clear browser cache, and test.

Solution 2
To add to the environment:
1. Start->Control Panel->System
2. Click the Advanced Tab
3. Click the Environment Variables button
4. Click the New button
5. For Variable name:_JAVA_OPTIONS
6. For Variable value -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true [or -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false ]
7. Click OK

Followed solution 1 mentioned above and Voilà, the issue is resolved.

Abhi,

I am really not sure what the problem is with SQLTOOLS since I have not worked with it. I had faced this issue in Jinitiator, which is the Java Applet used to connect to Oracle Applications. Sorry that I can't help you out.

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"

-
Image
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
