File server could not verify its initialization parameters

Problem:

After cloning Production to Test, Active Users report is run from System Administrator responsibility. When View Output is clicked, the following message appears:

ERROR

File server could not verify its initialization parameters

Solution:

In the 8.0.6/network/admin/<CONTEXT_NAME>/listener.ora file, open the file and search for APPLFSTT and delete it. Ensure that there are no spaces between semicolons.

For example:

Change:

( SID_DESC = ( SID_NAME = FNDFS  )

( ORACLE_HOME = /u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6 )

( PROGRAM = /u0/oracle/prodappl/fnd/11.5.0/bin/FNDFS )

( envs=’EPC_DISABLED=TRUE,NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII,LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6/lib,SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6/lib,LIBPATH=/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6/lib,APPLFSTT=PROD_806_BALANCE; PROD; PROD_BALANCE; PROD_FO,APPLFSWD=/u0/oracle/prodappl/admin;/u0/oracle/prodcomn/temp;/u0/oracle/prodcomn/html/oam/nonUix/launchMode/restricted’ )

)

To:

( SID_DESC = ( SID_NAME = FNDFS  )

( ORACLE_HOME = /u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6 )

( PROGRAM = /u0/oracle/prodappl/fnd/11.5.0/bin/FNDFS )

( envs=’EPC_DISABLED=TRUE,NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII,LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6/lib,SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6/lib,LIBPATH=/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6/lib,APPLFSWD=/u0/oracle/prodappl/admin;/u0/oracle/prodcomn/temp;/u0/oracle/prodcomn/html/oam/nonUix/launchMode/restricted’ )

)

Exit the application, bounce the application tier services and then log back in.

File server needs to be re-initialized

Problem:

After cloning Illuminat Production to Test, Active Users report is run from System Administrator responsibility. When View Output is clicked, the following message appears:

ERROR

File server needs to be re-initialized

Solution:

In the 8.0.6/network/admin/<CONTEXT_NAME>/listener.ora file, open the file and search for APPLFSTT. Change the order of the service names so that the SID (PROD) appears first in the list and there are no spaces between semicolons.

For example:

Change:

( SID_DESC = ( SID_NAME = FNDFS  )

( ORACLE_HOME = /u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6 )

( PROGRAM = /u0/oracle/prodappl/fnd/11.5.0/bin/FNDFS )

( envs=’EPC_DISABLED=TRUE,NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII,LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6/lib,SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6/lib,LIBPATH=/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6/lib,APPLFSTT=PROD_806_BALANCE; PROD; PROD_BALANCE; PROD_FO,APPLFSWD=/u0/oracle/prodappl/admin;/u0/oracle/prodcomn/temp;/u0/oracle/prodcomn/html/oam/nonUix/launchMode/restricted’ )

)

To:

( SID_DESC = ( SID_NAME = FNDFS  )

( ORACLE_HOME = /u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6 )

( PROGRAM = /u0/oracle/prodappl/fnd/11.5.0/bin/FNDFS )

( envs=’EPC_DISABLED=TRUE,NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII,LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6/lib,SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6/lib,LIBPATH=/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u0/oracle/prodora/8.0.6/lib,APPLFSTT=PROD;PROD_806_BALANCE;PROD_BALANCE;PROD_FO,APPLFSWD=/u0/oracle/prodappl/admin;/u0/oracle/prodcomn/temp;/u0/oracle/prodcomn/html/oam/nonUix/launchMode/restricted’ )

)

Then bounce the concurrent manager.

Configuring NFS to copy files

Configuring NFS to copy database files from PROD to TEST (Cloning)

Problem:

Need to configure NFS to copy files from PROD to TEST.

Solution:

On ebusinesstest (TEST) server, use the NFS tool to create the /etc/exports file with the following data:

/u0/oracle/testdata      *(rw,sync)

On ebusiness (PROD) server, log on as the root user and mount the exported directory:

mkdir /mnt/tempdata

mount -t nfs ebusinesstest:/u0/oracle/testdata /mnt/testdata/

oraInst.loc points to an Inventory that does not exist (Cloning)

Problem:

/etc/oraInst.loc points to an Inventory that does not exist:

mkdir : No such file or directory at ./adclone.pl line 1274

ERROR: Failed to execute ./adclone.pl

Solution:

As root user, ran /tmp/orainstRoot.sh.

Reran clone again, but it failed.

The root directory had completely filled up because the backup was restored to /oracle and not /u0/oracle. Removed /oracle, then reran /tmp/orainstRoot.sh and tried script again.

sh: adchkutl.sh: command not found (Cloning)

Problem:

When trying to clone Illuminat TEST database, the following error occurred:

sh: adchkutl.sh: command not found

Solution:

  1. Add the directory with the PERL executable to the path (added . to the path, so that #2 will not occur).
  2. Instead of:

perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier

Use:

perl ./adcfgclone.pl dbTier

Troubleshooting Custom Reports

Yellow bar appears on forms

Problem:

When the Java forms are launched, a yellow bar appears at the bottom of the form with the message ‘Warning: applet window’

Cause:

Digital certificate recreated while applying patch (see “adogjf() Unable to generate jar files under JAVA_TOP”)

Solution:

Log on to the server as the applmgr user and perform the following steps:

  1. cd $APPL_TOP/admin
  2. adjkey –initialize
  3. adjbuild.sh /u0/oracle/testcomn/util/jinitiator/ /u0/oracle/testcomn/util/jinitiator/jinit11816.exe
  4. Force regeneration of the JAR files
  5. De-install JInitiator from Windows client
  6. Load E-Business Suite and launch the Java forms
