R12.2 eBusiness Suite EBS – During ADOP phase = prepare data dictionary corruption missing parent

Leave a comment

Adop-PrepareDuring an online patching session with ADOP, when the prepare phase checks the data dictionary integrity, you receive the following error:

R12.2 eBusiness Suite EBS – During ADOP phase = prepare data dictionary corruption missing parent:
Verifying data dictionary.
[UNEXPECTED]Data dictionary corrupted:

[UNEXPECTED]Data dictionary corruption detected. Provide details to
[UNEXPECTED]Oracle Support and ask for a bug to be opened against the
[UNEXPECTED]Online Patching component of Oracle Application Install.

[STATEMENT] Please run adopscanlog utility, using the command

“adopscanlog -latest=yes”

Issue:

The corruption is detected with the $AD_TOP/sql/ADZDDBCC.sql scriptis executed just prior to setting up the ADOP session.  This is also a mandatory check performed during pre-upgrade readiness checking for R12.2 upgrades.

Solution:

There is a rudimentary, but effective script supplied in $AD_TOP/patch/115/sql named adzddmpfix.sql (and a number of other adzd___ named scripts that address other data dictionary issues, such as the common TimeZone timestamp issues (Doc ID 2017686.1))

This script is run as SYS and requires all middle-tier services to be shutdown because it’s rebuilding all of the APPS synonyms for objects and recompiling afterwards.

Monitoring Oracle e-Business Suite (R12.2)

People ask what do I look for when monitoring an EBS instance for availability? Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) with the Applications Management Pack (AMS) gives a good starting point, but here is a condensed list of my general health check items for my production instance. It’s not everything possible, but it’s what I generally would check during a shake-down of a disaster-recovery exercise.

Oracle Configuration Manager Quick Tip – EBS R12.2 Disconnected Collections

Leave a comment 
Collecting Disconnected Mode OCM data for e-Business Suite R12.2
per MOS Document ID 1447334.1 - Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2: Release Notes for Oracle Configuration Manager
My Oracle Support - Download Collector page
MOS Oracle Configuration Manager Collector Download screen.
This method is used whenever your EBS instance is behind a firewall and no proxy server is available to reach the OCM collector end-point (ccr.oracle.com)

The reason you want to use OCM is not only because it provides a complete catalog of your Oracle software versions, modules and plug-ins, so that they can easily be associated with a Service Request (SR) instead of the analyst asking for every RDA script being run for every component in your application and database. 

It also enables the full functionality of that Systems Tab in My Oracle Support (buried just above your Settings menu) that allows you to do light versions of lifecycle management comparisons (such as what the instance looked like 2 weeks ago versus now) without having to own the OEM Lifecycle Management license. It comes compliments of your support agreement.

This also enables the full functionality of the patch and security recommendations section vital towards identifying high priority one-off patches specific to your particular configuration and platform.

Basically, instead of having a cron job periodically automatically upload the configurations to ccr.oracle.com, you will be creating the same staged configuration file, but uploading it to your Customer Support Identifier (CSI) via a Draft Service Request (SR) or a currently Open SR via the File Attachment... feature of the SRs.

In the background of MOS is a managed file transfer handler that looks for the specifically named "ocmconfig.jar" files and when detected, route them over to the Configuration Manager engine for automatic uploading to your CSI account.

While not as convenient as the automatic cron method, for those of use with no direct internet connectivity to ccr.oracle.com, our OEM and MOS functionalities become quite limited if the configurations aren't present under our CSI's.e.g. ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
# Oracle DB Home cd $ORACLE_HOME unset ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME export JAVA_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/jdk cd $ORACLE_HOME/ccr # Clear prior CCR installation, if required. rm -rf $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/* cd $ORACLE_HOME unzip <patch_stage_dir>/p5567658_<ver>_<platform>.zip cd $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin # Run setupCCR in Disconnected mode ./setupCCR -s -d # Create ORACLE_OCM user and related grants . $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/admin/scripts/installCCRSQL.sh collectconfig -s <SID> -r SYS # Additional grants for APPS EBS Collector . $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/admin/scripts/installCCRSQL.sh ebs_collectconfig -u <APPSUSERNAME> # Run the collection and generate the ocmconfig.jar cd $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin ./emCCR collect # ocmconfig.jar location $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/hosts/$HOSTNAME/state/upload # Oracle 10.1.2 iAS Home . $ORACLE_BASE/EBSapps.env run export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME export ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME=$INST_TOP/ora/10.1.2 export JAVA_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/jdk # Remove prior OCM config, if needed rm -rf $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/* rm -rf $ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME/ccr/* cd $ORACLE_HOME unzip <patch_stage_dir>/p5567658_<ver>_<platform>.zip # Bugfix specific to HP-UX Itanium - verify file permissions to execute chmod 754 $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/deployPackages chmod 754 $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/emSnapshotEnv cd $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin ./setupCCR -s -d # Disconnected mode # Run the collection and generate the ocmconfig.jar cd $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin ./emCCR collect # ocmconfig.jar location $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.2/ccr/state/upload #Repeat for patch filesystem; . $ORACLE_BASE/EBSapps.env patch # Oracle FMW WebLogic Home # source the Domain environment . $ORACLE_BASE/EBSapps.env run . $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.sh export ORACLE_HOME=$FMW_HOME/utils export ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME=$INST_TOP/ora/FMW # Remove prior OCM config, if needed rm -rf $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/* rm -rf $ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME/ccr/* cd $ORACLE_HOME unzip <patch_stage_dir>/p5567658_<ver>_<platform>.zip # Bugfix specific to HP-UX Itanium - verify file permissions to execute chmod 754 $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/deployPackages chmod 754 $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/emSnapshotEnv cd $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin ./setupCCR -s -d # Disconnected mode # Run the collection and generate the ocmconfig.jar cd $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin ./emCCR collect # ocmconfig.jar location $INST_TOP/FMW/ccr/state/upload #Repeat for patch filesystem; . $ORACLE_BASE/EBSapps.env patch # Upload all of your ocmconfig.jar files (can be named uniquely - e.g. mydbocmconfig.jar) per MOS Document ID 763142.1 - How to upload the collection file ocmconfig.jar to My Oracle Support for Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) running in Disconnected Mode.
# Also can ZIP up all of them at once and upload them to your Draft SR (or current open SR as long as you're happy with the CSI (Customer Support Identifier) that will receive the new configurations.

Investigating an OEM 12c E-Business Suite Alert (AMS 12.1.0.x)

Leave a comment
OEM 12 Home Page
OEM 12 Home Page

The Applications Management Suite plug-in for Oracle Enterprise Manager simplifies discovery of the myriad of subtargets that make up an Oracle E-Business Suite instance.  Correspondingly, the number of alerts sent out can rise dramatically because of the inter-relationships between the components.

For example, the outage of a single Apache process triggers all of the following associated targets also to flag as a service Down status:

INSTANCE-Oracle E-Business Suite
INSTANCE-Infrastructure INSTANCE_host-APPL_TOP Context
HTTP_Server

The number of downed targets increases if a subcomponent of a primary component (such as a single JVM thread under the OACore process) experiences an outage.

This is a simple walk-through of navigating one of the e-mail alerts to start figuring out what happened.

The e-mail alert looks like this:

From: OEM12 Burbank
Sent: Monday, December 07, 2015 8:30 AM
To: DBAs
Subject: EM Event: Fatal:INSTANCE-Oracle E-Business Suite – Target is down; 1 member is down: INSTANCE_EBS Availability System

Host=hostname
Target type=Oracle E-Business Suite
Target name=INSTANCE-Oracle E-Business Suite
Categories=Availability
Message=Target is down; 1 member is down: INSTANCE_EBS Availability System
Severity=Fatal
Event reported time=Dec 7, 2015 8:29:14 AM PST
Target Lifecycle Status=Production

Associated Incident Id=390885
Associated Incident Status=New
Associated Incident Owner=

Associated Incident Priority=None
Associated Incident Escalation Level=0
Event Type=Target Availability
Event name=Status
Availability status=Down
Root Cause Analysis Status=Symptom
Rule Name=EBS Notifications,Rule_EBS_Notifications
(to get notified, you set up Rule Sets that tell OEM when and what to notify you about)
Rule Owner=DBA
Update Details:
Target is down; 1 member is down: INSTANCE_EBS Availability System
Incident created by rule (Name = Incident management rule set for all targets, Incident creation rule for a Target Down availability status [System generated rule]).

To investigate an event alert, click on the Associated Incident ID (e.g. the 390885 which on your system will be a URL taking you into OEM) which will take you to the associated Incident Summary page.

Click on Related Events to investigate what raised the event alert (there may be more than one cause):

ss1
OEM 12c AMS 12.1.0.4 – Incident Details

From the screen, it shows the red mark on PRODARMK-Infrastructure PRODARMK_ascopofinm01-APPL_TOP Context (Oracle E-Business Suite Node).

Click on that link in the list of Targets.

Navigate to Monitoring -> Status History:

ss2
OEM 12c AMS 12.1.0.4 – Navigation Target: Monitoring -> Status History

Change the Availability History view to All History (the related underlying event caused is displayed.)

ss3
OEM 12c AMS 12.1.0.4 – Target: Status History Details

If you click on the related Message (e.g. Target is down; 1 member is down: INSTANCE_hostname.auca.corp_oacore_JVM_…); you will then be shown the related Event page for that target:

ss4
OEM 12c AMS 12.1.0.4 – Target: Event Details

Click on the Related Events tab for this target, to confirm the service alert recorded:

ss5
OEM 12c AMS 12.1.0.4 – Target: Event Details -> Related Events Timeline

If this is a recurring issue, by sliding the timeline back and forth (and adjusting the period view to a larger sample) you can see if there are any associated time-related occurrences that can be used to identify root cause.

For the specific issue, login to the associated host, and view the output and error logs for the process itself to determine what triggered the alert (in this case, the JVM automatically restarted the OACore process that had run out of memory.)

R12 e-Business Suite and OEM Monitoring – Oracle Spins Freezes

Leave a comment

Every so often, system load on an e-Business Suite instance ramps up and response time to users starts climbing, often resulting in user observed errors such as:

  • FRM-92100 Your connect to the server has been interrupted
  • FRM-92102 A network error has occurred

    FRM-92102 Forms Error R12 EBS
    That dreaded FRM-91201 / FRM-91200 error causing you to restart your session.

Or sometimes, the screen just freezes (aka spins, stops, is broken, stuck, motionless, looks like a screen saver,can’t do anything, won’t work, froze-up, etc.) and the person has to close their browser, or even shut-down their workstation and restart.

It's simply not doing anything - Nothing to see here, just move your cursor around. And wait... and wait.
It’s simply not doing anything – Nothing to see here, just move your cursor around. And wait… and wait.

Old technology often barks with unrelated error messages to the actual cause.  If there’s a lot going on with concurrent requests, or interfaces, or analytic extracts running, the front-end response-time slows down, sometimes sufficiently to trigger these kinds of Form errors, even though technically there was no interruption to the network connectivity, either between the hosts, nor the workstation and the middle-tier application server.

However, on the database, the user-experience can be seen, although not necessarily in the place you might expect.  OEM  had introduced it’s Adaptive Metric Thresholds technology back in OEM 11g (in a slightly different place than in 12c (in Oracle Management Server/OMS 12.1.0.4.0).  In OEM 11g, they were a link under the AWR Baseline Reports page.

OEM 11g AWR Baselines Page
See the Baseline Metric Thresholds link at the bottom.

In OEM 12c, you’ll find them under

Targets -> Database -> Peformance -> Adaptive Thresholds -> Baseline Metric Thresholds -> Edit Thresholds:

OEM 12c Baseline Metric Thresholds
Where those adaptive metric thresholds moved in 12c.

 

 

On this page and in the list of Baseline Metrics, when you click into them, you can access the trending statistics being gathered for each metric.  Many times this will provide direct insight into what a user experiences as the “the system is frozen” translates into “the back-end database response time is incredibly bad.”

OEM 12c Baseline Metric Response Time per Transaction vs. Baseline
See the spikes around 7AM and 11:30AM? Those are being associated with “System Froze” reports.

 

In the example here, the database experienced a dramatic slow-down in response almost 5 to 10 times slower than usual, which only lasted a few seconds. But that can be enough to show up in many users’ sessions who might have just kicked off a query, or were trying to save something.  Based upon the information gathered, we set the Warning and Critical thresholds to 1500ms and 2000ms respectively to start sending e-mail alert notifications upon breach of the levels. If the settings are left at “None”, no incident would be raised, and thus, no notification would be sent.

If you’re experiencing odd transient outages or sluggish behavior that defies the normal AWR and ADDM snapshot analysis, go take a look at what OEM has been gathering in the background over time and see if the statistics correlate to any of your issues.  There’s value in that data. Just mine it.

Using Demo Data for Oracle Data Mining Tools

Leave a comment

With the forthcoming (but already available) SQLDeveloper 4.1 edition, an improved version of the Oracle Data Miner tools is incorporated into the SQLDeveloper console.  However, I found that there were a number of steps needed to actually use this new data modeling product other than just responding ‘Yes’ to the “Do you wish to enable the Data Miner Repository on this database?” prompt.

Here’s what I ended up doing to get things up and running (so that I could play with data modeling and visualization using Excel and the new SQLDeveloper DM extensions.)

#In this case, I’m adding back the demonstration data (i.e. EMP, DEPTNO type tables; the SH, OE, HR, et.al. schemas) into an existing R12 e-Business Suite (12.1.3) instance.

# Installing the Oracle Demo data in an R12 instance.

# Use the runInstaller from the R12 $ORACLE_HOME
cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin
export DISPLAY=<workstation IP>:0.0
./runInstaller

# Choose the source products.xml from the staging area – Download and stage the DB Examples CD from OTN
/mnt/nfs/database/11203/examples/stage/products.xml

# Complete the OUI installation through [Finish]

cd $ORACLE_HOME/demo/schema
mkdir -p $ORACLE_HOME/demo/schema/log
echo $ORACLE_HOME/demo/schema/log/     ## used to respond to the Log Directory prompt during mksample.sql

sqlplus “/ as sysdba”
— will need passwords for: SYS/SYSTEM and APPS (used for all of the demo schemas, some of which pre-exist such as, HR, OE (PM, IX, SH and BI were okay for 12.1.3).

— ## Be sure to comment out any DROP USER <HR, OE, etc.) commands in this script (or you will be restoring your EBS instance from a backup because it just dropped your Module schema tables…) ##
— They look like this:
/*
mksample.sql:– DROP USER hr CASCADE;
mksample.sql:– DROP USER oe CASCADE;
mksample.sql:DROP USER pm CASCADE;
mksample.sql:DROP USER ix CASCADE;
mksample.sql:DROP USER sh CASCADE;
mksample.sql:DROP USER bi CASCADE;
*/

–Similarly – if/when you decide you no longer need the data – do NOT just use the $ORACLE_HOME/demo/schema/drop_sch.sql script
–or you just dropped your HR/OE/BI EBS schemas; don’t do that.
/*
drop_sch.sql:PROMPT Dropping Sample Schemas
drop_sch.sql:– DROP USER hr CASCADE;
drop_sch.sql:– DROP USER oe CASCADE;
drop_sch.sql:DROP USER pm CASCADE;
drop_sch.sql:DROP USER ix CASCADE;
drop_sch.sql:DROP USER sh CASCADE;
drop_sch.sql:DROP USER bi CASCADE;

order_entry/oe_main.sql:– DROP USER oe CASCADE;
order_entry/oe_main.sql:– ALTER USER oe DEFAULT TABLESPACE &tbs QUOTA UNLIMITED ON &tbs;

*/
— in this instance the $APPS_PW is synchronized to all application module schemas (i.e. AR, HR, GL, etc.)
— log directory would be the actual path from echo $ORACLE_HOME/demo/schema/log/ (including the trailing slash)

Java 7 (1.7.0_) and Java 6 on the Same Workstation for R12 e-Business Suite EBS and other Apps

Leave a comment

The challenge: We have a number of 3rd party Cloud applications that are still on Java 6, so we have that version (1.6.0_26 specifically) deployed to our workstations. We configured R12 to use 1.6.0_26 on the server side to minimize impact to the users. We are now implementing Informatica Information Lifecycle Management (an archive and purge technology), which has a component (the Enterprise Data Manager – EDM) which is a Java 7-based application used by certain administrative and analyst users. We needed to have those users support both Java 7 and Java 6 on the same workstation for the browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).

Starting with a Windows 7 (32-bit) workstation with a working Java 1.6.0_26 installed (and 1.6.0_7 disabled).

Used the Java SE 7 SDK from the Oracle Java Archive (staged to the DBA Share /Software/Java because the 7 downloadables will be pulled from the site as of April-2015):

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/archive-139210.html

Chose: Java SE Development Kit 7u25 (includes the JRE runtime edition) – newer versions (post- and including update 40) contain an non-bypassable Security Warning message for using Java 6 applications.

Installed Java 7 using default parameters and completed successfully.

De-select the Java Plug-in (next-generation) features (due to co-existence with Java 6) – we also turn off Automatic Java Updates, and default the automatic JNLP MIME/execution association setting to make it easier for users:

Security Warning – due to Java having incomplete Certificate Authority trust to the Aramark Hosts (can be addressed also via Control Panel -> Java -> [Security] -> Manage Certificates -> Import Certificate -> add certificates provided by AUS Server Team (password required).

The Java 7 update 25 warning looks like this (click the Activate Java link; then on the next pop-up click Allow and Remember – to suppress future warning messages):

01b_java_upd_needed_pre40_ss

The post-Java 7 update 40 warning looks like this (select – I accept the risk; click [Run]):

08_java_launch_ebs_sec_warn_ss

Ref: http://java.com/en/download/faq/signed_code.xml

Why don’t I see the option to select Do not show this again for this app in the security dialog for an unsigned application?

Starting with Java 7 Update 40, the option to select Do not show this again for this app is no longer available. Unlike previous versions a user cannot suppress the security dialog for an unsigned application and will have to select the option, I accept the risk and want to run this app, each time to run the unsigned application.

Security Warning – these will come up twice in a row – once when the R12 forms servlet is instantiating and a second time when the actual Forms launch. Once Allow this application to run with the requested version (1.6.0_26) is selected, these warnings should be suppressed in future sessions.

Enter username to boot WebLogic server:weblogic
Enter password to boot WebLogic server:

Change NodeManager password

Log in to the WebLogic Administration console.
Click the Lock & Edit button.
In the left panel, click on the EBS Domain link.
Select the Security tab.
Click on the ‘Advanced’ link.
Edit the ‘Node Manager password’ field and set it to the new WebLogic Server password. The password should be same as set in Step 3.
Edit the ‘Confirm NodeManager Password’ field and set it to the new WebLogic Server password. The password should be same as set in Step 3.
Save and activate the changes.

Shut down AdminServer from the console. For the first time, AdminServer has to be stopped from the Admin console. Follow these steps:

Log in to the WebLogic Administration console.
Shut down AdminServer.

Shut down NodeManager using the normal AD script.

$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adnodemgrctl.sh stop

Copy the boot.properties file for all managed servers.

cp $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/data/nodemanager/boot.properties \
$EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/oacore_server?/security/boot.properties  \
$EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/forms_server?/security/boot.properties  \
$EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/oafm_server?/security/boot.properties  \
$EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/forms-c4ws_server?/security/boot.properties  \
$EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/oaea_server?/security/boot.properties

The EBS WebLogic Server domain password has now been changed, and all servers can now be started using the normal AD scripts.

To start AdminServer:

$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adadminsrvctl.sh start

# Start it all back up again
$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstrtal.sh apps/$APPS_PW
Weblogic Password: [weblogic pwd]

Now your password change is complete (or at least you can get back into your Admin Console).

# Clone the working result from the run filesystem to the patch filesystem
$ adop phase=fs_clone

R12.2 Upgrade – Registering New Application Modules – r122_new_custsch.ksh

1 Comment

Note: This script is based upon an OEL 5.9 environment with a completed first-stage R12.2 e-Business Suite upgrade from 12.1.3. Using a pre-existing registered module (ZFA – Oracle Financial Analyzer in our case), this clones the settings required to fulfill the R12.2 upgrade pre-requisite check for additonal applications, which had been added since the 12.1.3 release.) It is referenced in the primary 12.2.3 Upgrade Post and fully listed herein.

Repeat the following dummy file creations for each product you’re registering above:

Create directory $APPL_TOP/zfa/12.0.0/admin

Create directory $APPL_TOP/zfa/12.0.0/admin/driver

Create directory $APPL_TOP/zfa/12.0.0/admin/sql

Create file $APPL_TOP/zfa/12.0.0/admin/driver/zfafile.drv with following contents:
# Dummy xxadfile.drv

Create file $APPL_TOP/zfa/12.0.0/sql/ZFANLINS.sql with following contents:
commit;
exit;

Create file $APPL_TOP/zfa/12.0.0/admin/sql/ZFANLADD.sql with following contents:
commit;
exit;

 

That’s it – no more warnings during AutoPatch. (they are all legacy products anyway)
