EBS- SSO Integration with Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS)

Recently got an opportunity to do a POC for implementing SSO with Oracle EBS (12.2.5) using Oracle IDCS approach. It’s fairly simple and much less intrusive work as far as work within eBS is concerned.
One primary component for this solution is EBS Asserter which needs to be deployed and configured in DMZ (Security policy does not allow any core EBS component to be exposed in DMZ)

This is fully integrated solution with inhouse Active Directory and not exposing any critical data (user password) in Cloud. POC was completely successful. Below is the data flow between various components of EBS and Oracle IDCS.

Happy reading !!!

“Could Not lock the record” while trying to cancel the running concurrent request

March 5, 2018 2 comments

Recently came across a typical scenario where I needed to cancel a long running concurrent request and while doing the same from the front end, I kept getting error “Could not lock the record“.

Later on I thought to mark it as terminated by running below “update” statement from the database.


UPDATE apps.fnd_concurrent_requests
SET phase_code = 'C', status_code = 'X'
WHERE request_id = 126192043
and status_code ='R' 
and  phase_code = 'R';

commit
/

But again this “update” was taking exceptionally long time. Then I figured out a better and quicker way of doing this.
Step:1 Find out the “FNDLIBR” process associated with the long running concurrent request by running below query

Set Pages 1000
Set head on
Column Manager   Format A12
Column Request   Format 999999999
Column Program   Format A30
Column User_Name Format A15
Column Started   Format A15
Column FNDLIBR  Format A9
prompt Managers that is running a request and FNDLIBR PROCESS;
select substr(Concurrent_Queue_Name, 1, 12) Manager,
       Request_Id Request,
       User_name,
       Fpro.OS_PROCESS_ID "FNDLIBR",
       substr(Concurrent_Program_Name, 1, 35) Program,
       Status_code,
       To_Char(Actual_Start_Date, 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI') Started
  from apps.Fnd_Concurrent_Queues    Fcq,
       apps.Fnd_Concurrent_Requests  Fcr,
       apps.Fnd_Concurrent_Programs  Fcp,
       apps.Fnd_User                 Fu,
       apps.Fnd_Concurrent_Processes Fpro
 where Phase_Code = 'R' And Status_Code <> 'W' And
       Fcr.Controlling_Manager = Concurrent_Process_Id and
       (Fcq.Concurrent_Queue_Id = Fpro.Concurrent_Queue_Id and
       Fcq.Application_Id = Fpro.Queue_Application_Id) and
       (Fcr.Concurrent_Program_Id = Fcp.Concurrent_Program_Id and
       Fcr.Program_Application_Id = Fcp.Application_Id) and
       Fcr.Requested_By = User_Id and
       Fcr.request_id =&request_id
	   /

Step:- 2 Now look for the FNDLIBR process ID obtained above on the “Concurrent Manager Node”

ps -ef|grep 9240602|grep -v grep
  applmgr 19859 18919  0 Mar04 ?        00:00:02 FNDLIBR 

Step:- 3 Query the database to get the Session details for the offending process obtained in Step 2

select ses.sid,
              ses.serial# serial#,
              proc.spid,
              ses.sql_id,
              ses.process,
              ses.last_call_et,
              ses.event
         from gv$session ses, gv$process proc
        where ses.paddr = proc.addr and ses.process in ('&process_ID');

Step:- 4 Now clear the database session by running below statement in the database(Using SID and Serial# obtained in Step 3)

SQL> alter system kill session '<SID>,<Serial#>' immediate;
SQL>

Step:- 5 Finally go ahead and cancel the long running request either from the front end or from database (using update statement as mentioned in the beginning.

Hope this helps. Happy learning and keep reading.

Troubleshooting EBS Workflow Notification mailer Issues

February 26, 2018 3 comments

Oracle E-Business Suite’s Workflow Notification Mailer sends an email notification in a multi-step process.

After a workflow notification is sent, it immediately appears in the recipient’s EBS Worklist UI. For each workflow notification,business event oracle.apps.wf.notification.send is raised to send the same notification as email.

For a workflow notification to be e-mailed, following statements should be true
The notification’s STATUS is OPEN or CANCELED
The notification’s MAIL_STATUS is MAIL or INVALID
The recipient role has a valid email address
The recipient role’s notification preference must be MAILTEXT, MAILATTH, MAILHTML or MAILHTM2
The Workflow Deferred Agent Listener is running
The Workflow Notification Mailer is running

Most of the information above can be obtained by running the diagnostic script $FND_TOP/sql/wfmlrdbg.sql. It takes the notification id as input.

After the business event oracle.apps.wf.notification.send is raised, it is processed through two queues before it is actually delivered as email to the recipient’s Inbox.
WF_DEFERRED
WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT
The Workflow Notification Mailer dequeues the send event messages from this queue and dispatches it through the designated SMTP server.
To determine at a given time where the email notification is being processed, run $FND_TOP/sql/wfmlrdbg.sql for the notification id

Query to find WF Mailer is up and running


SQL>SELECT component_name, component_status
FROM fnd_svc_components

ORA-955 name is already used by an existing object

February 23, 2018 Leave a comment

Recently while working on some upgrade activity, I faced an interesting scenario. I am supposed to create a sequence in Oracle database (11.2.0.4).

SQL>CREATE SEQUENCE "XX_VTX_INV_TAX_LINES_S"
MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 9999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1
START WITH 79002 CACHE 1000 NOORDER NOCYCLE;

Error at line 1:
ORA-955: name is already used by an existing object
Elapsed: 00:00:00.73
SQL>

I queried DBA_OBJECTS but didn’t find the object there. “adop -cleanup” phase was all completed. Database recyclebin if OFF but still went ahead and purged “recyclebin”. Still it did not let me create the sequence.

Later on while examining the “adop -cleanup” script, I came across the package ‘ad_zd_sys.drop_covered_object’. It asks few different parameters like

Object_owner
object_name
object_type
Edition_name

In order to get all these details, I ran a query

SQL> select * from dba_objects_ae where object_name like '%XX_VTX_INV_TAX_LINES_S%' and object_type <> 'NON-EXISTENT'
SQL>

and this fetched me a record with all the values needed to execute package – ad_zd_sys.drop_covered_object.
Logged into database as sys and executed the package

SQL> exec sys.ad_zd_sys.drop_covered_object('XX_VTX', 'XX_VTX_INV_TAX_LINES_S', 'SEQUENCE', 'V_20170715_2200');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.90
SQL>

After this I again ran the select statement “select * from dba_objects_ae where object_name like ‘%XX_VTX_INV_TAX_LINES_S%’ and object_type ‘NON-EXISTENT'” and it did not return any records.

I went ahead and fired the “Create sequence..” statement and this time sequence got created without any error.

This error wasted a lot of time and effort in actual upgrade task but thankfully made me to learn another new thing.

Hope this help. Happy learning and keep reading.

TNSPing & SQLPlus just hang without errors

November 22, 2016 Leave a comment

Usually, when you connect to Oracle, you get errors that give you some feedback on what is happening.

Today, I got an issue where when trying to connect to SQLplus or even running a tnsping command was hanging. Not getting any error to start the troubleshooting. The issue was definitely some sort of connectivity but not able to point it out

In our case, we use “nameserver” in addition to tnsnames.ora. Our sqlnet.ora file looks like this:

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (ONAMES,TNSNAMES)
I needed to trace my “tnsping” command to see where it is getting hung.

To troubleshoot the issue with tnsping hanging, all you need to do is add these settings in sqlnet.ora to trace tnsping

TNSPING.TRACE_LEVEL = ADMIN
TNSPING.TRACE_DIRECTORY =/d01/abc/product/8.0.6/network/admin

My being a linux box and hence the path. You may need to modify according to your OS and directory

I ran the “tnsping” to the same Oracle SID again, a trace file “tnsping.trc” got generated in the path defined in the above “TNSPING.TRACE_DIRECTORY” variable.

Careful review of the trace file revealed that he connection was having an issue with the “name server” defined in my sqlnet.ora file.
I asked the Oracle DBA to confirm if the “name server” is started and she confirmed that it is not. Once she started the “name server”, tnsping command went successfully and I was able to connect to SQLplus.

Hope this helps you in some way.

Happy learning!!!

November 22, 2016 Leave a comment

Pls follow below steps to decrypt Weblogic admin password

Step 1:- Create a file called – decryptPass.py and udpate the file with below cotents


import os
import weblogic.security.internal.SerializedSystemIni
import weblogic.security.internal.encryption.ClearOrEncryptedService

def decrypt(domainHomeName, encryptedPwd):
domainHomeAbsolutePath = os.path.abspath(domainHomeName)
encryptionService = weblogic.security.internal.SerializedSystemIni.getEncryptionService(domainHomeAbsolutePath)
ces = weblogic.security.internal.encryption.ClearOrEncryptedService(encryptionService)
clear = ces.decrypt(encryptedPwd)
print "RESULT:" + clear

try:
if len(sys.argv) == 3:
decrypt(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2])
else:
print "INVALID ARGUMENTS"
print " Usage: java weblogic.WLST decryptPassword.py DOMAIN_HOME ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD"
print " Example:"
print " java weblogic.WLST decryptPassword.py D:/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain {AES}819R5h3JUS9fAcPmF58p9Wb3syTJxFl0t8NInD/ykkE="
except:
print "Unexpected error: ", sys.exc_info()[0]
dumpStack()
raise

Step 2:- Set Domain environment variable

cd $FMW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<domain_name>


. setDomainEnv.sh

Once it is properly set, do echo $DOMAIN_HOME and you will find it getting properly displayed

Step 3:- Get encrypted password value from boot.properties file


$ grep password $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties | sed -e "s/^password=\(.*\)/\1/"

{AES}udb6nZLDw24HiRRrZkojuoiLNiu/MfAIZpcU=

Step 4:- Decrypt the encrypted password obtained in Step 3 (Run the command from the location where the decryptPass.py is kept)


java weblogic.WLST decryptPass.py $DOMAIN_HOME {AES}udb6nZLDw24HiRRrZkojuoiLNiu/MfAIZpcU=

Oracle Apps R12.2.2 Log file location and Environment Variables

November 2, 2016 1 comment

I have compiled the name and location of all the log files in Oracle EBS 12.2.2. As a DBA, I find it quite handy when you need to do some troubleshooting with a definite timeline.

Oracle Apps R12.2.2 Log file location

Also below is the frequently used and very useful environment variables that comes handy often.

$ echo $FILE_EDITION
<shows which file edition you are using, run or patch>

$ echo $RUN_BASE
<shows an absolute path to run file system>

$ echo $PATCH_BASE
<shows an absolute path to patch file system>

$ echo $NE_BASE
<shows an absolute path to non-edition file system>

$ echo $APPL_TOP_NE
<non-editioned appl_top path. Equivalent to $NE_BASE/EBSapps/appl>

$ echo $LOG_HOME
<Application Instance Specific Log Directory>

$ echo $ADOP_LOG_HOME
<Online patching Specific Log Directory. Equivalent to $NE_BASE/EBSapps/log/adop>
$ echo $IAS_ORACLE_HOME
<FMW Web Tier Home Directory>

echo $FMW_HOME
<FMW home>

$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
< 10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME>

$ echo $CONTEXT_FILE
<Source for information populating template files (autoconfig)>

$ echo $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME
<WLS Deployment of Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 Domain (instance specific)>

$ echo $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
<Shell scripts to control processes associated to the Applications Instance>

$ echo $EBS_ORACLE_HOME
<Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 FMW Deployment directory>

$ echo $RW
<10.1.2 reports directory>

$ echo $HOSTNAME
<hostname without domain name>

$ echo $APPS_VERSION
<to get the EBS version>

And the most important part is for setting up the right environment don’t directly hard code the RUN environment .env file in the .profile of OS user as online patching switches the filesystem from RUN to PATCH and vice versa and it can really create confusion.
Instead use EBSapps.env environment file (created under BASE directory) with ‘RUN’ as argument. It will automatically find which file system (fs1 or fs2) is currently RUN file system and lay out the correct environment.

For example, in our case base directory is ‘/<TWO_TASK>/applmgr’

. /<TWO_TASK>/applmgr/EBSapps.env RUN

E-Business Suite Environment Information
—————————————-
RUN File System : /<TWO_TASK>/applmgr/fs2/EBSapps/appl
PATCH File System : /<TWO_TASK>/applmgr/fs1/EBSapps/appl
Non-Editioned File System : /<TWO_TASK>/applmgr/fs_ne
DB Host: xyz008.abc.com Service/SID: <TWO_TASK>
Sourcing the RUN File System …

Hope this helps. Happy learning!!!

Space reclaim using complete database export import

November 2, 2016 Leave a comment

We had a non-prod database which was having more than 50% of space as free. Objective was to reclaim the space at OS level and release the space back to storage.
This is an Oracle E-Biz environment.
Ebiz Version – 12.2.2
Oracle DB version – 11.2.0.3
OS – 64 bit Oracle Linux

Tried to resize the datafile as much as possible but could not reclaim enough space. Hence thought of doing the full database re-org using export and import.

This document demonstrates step by step procedure with screenshots to do full database reorg using export/import

Full Database reorg using export-import

Post export/import, I was able to reclaim around 4 TB (65% reduction) of space.

Pls see the result below.

Hope this helps. Happy learning!!!

“Output Post Processor” Concurrent Manager not able to start

January 21, 2016 Leave a comment

Development team informed me of an issue where the concurrent job (that needs post processing) errored. On reveiwing the request log file, i notice an isue with ‘Output post Processor’. I checked the OPP in the ‘Administer Concurrent Manager’ screen and found

Actual=4 and Target=0 processes

I tried to restart but still getting the same status. Later on I tried to query the “FNDOPP” process on the application tier
$ ps -ef|grep -i FNDOPP|grep -v grep

and this resulted in 0 process.

I then looked into the manager log file and found below error

Jan 19, 2016 8:02:44 AM oracle.ias.cache.CacheInternal logLifecycleEvent
INFO: JOC is initialized from oracle.apps.jtf.cache.IASCacheProvider.init, ver=11.1.1.2.0, distribute=true, vid=996, coordinator=0, discover list=[[129.80.88.133:12345] segID=1]

	at oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsf.GSMServiceController.main(GSMServiceController.java:448)

Solution that resolved the issue

I found “Service Manager” was down. So I restarted “Service Manager” and then restarted “Output Post Processor”.
and Actual=4 and Target=4 processes

I asked the development team to submit the job again. This time job completed successfully.
