Solution: The startup command is using the SPFILE by default. The old SPFILE is being used. Need to create new SPFILE when the database is up and running. In this case, the fastest way to restart the database is to use the Services panel and restart the OracleServicePROD service, then recreate the spfile:

SQL> create spfile from pfile;
File created.

Solution:

1. Please execute the following scripts from $FND_TOP/patch/115/sql

adgentns.pl exiting with status 2

Solution: Disable IPV6 from Local Area Network connection and retry AutoConfig on apps tier

Other solutions tried:

1. Clean FND_NODES table and rerun AutoConfig.
