Solution: Change the DISPLAY environment variable in Oracle Applications.

Log on to Oracle Applications Manager, and navigate to Site Map > AutoConfig.

There are two context files: one for the Database tier and the other for the Applications Tier. In the Applications tier row, click Edit Parameters. Click the Environments tab. Expand oa_environment:generic_service. Under X11 Display (s_display), change ‘hostname:0.0’ to ‘:0.0’. Save the changes. Then log out of Oracle Applications Manager.

The context file for the application tier must be regenerated. On the server, source the environment, stop the application tier services (adstpall.sh), run AutoConfig on the application tier (adconfig.sh), then restart the application tier services (adstrtal.sh).
