What is staging area ?

Staging Area is special directory structure where you can dump 11i installation
software so that you don’t have to insert CD’s during install and these disks will
automatically be picked by Installer.
Q. How you set up staging area ?
Use adautostg.pl to create staging area orcreate required directory manually for
staging like (following directories under Stage11i - startCD, oraApps, oraDB,
oraiAS, oraAppsDB, oraNLS and inside these directories Disk1, Disk2…).

How to compile JSP in Oracle Apps ?

You can use ojspCompile.pl perl script shipped with Oracle apps to compile JSP
files. This script is under $JTF_TOP/admin/scripts. Sample compilation method is
perl ojspCompile.pl --compile --quiet

compiling few jsp's

Clear the following files from $OA_HTML/../_pages/_oa__html
rm _qot*.*
rm _xx*.*
ojspCompile.pl --compile -s '%qot%.jsp' -log $HOME/err.log --flush
ojspCompile.pl --compile -s '%xxdhr%.jsp' -log $HOME/err.log –flush
Confirm _qot*.* and _xx*.* files exist (after running the above Perl script)
in $OA_HTML/../_pages/_oa__html directory

How to find JDBC thin driver that your iAS 1.0.2.2.2 is using ?
A simple java program & procedure to compile it that will give your jdbc thin
driver version.
Create a file with name JDBCVersion.java in your middle tier (Application Tier)
---------
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
class JDBCVersion
{
public static void main (String args[])
throws SQLException
{
// Load the Oracle JDBC driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
// Get a connection to a database
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)(FAILOVER=YES)
(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST= ) (PORT= )))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=)))" ,"apps","");
// Create Oracle DatabaseMetaData object
DatabaseMetaData meta = conn.getMetaData();
// gets driver info:
System.out.println("JDBC driver version is " + meta.getDriverVersion());
}
}
-----------
Replace following parameters
1. with your database hostname or IP address
2. with your database port no.
3. with SID for your database
4. with your apps password
After changing save it with name JDBCVersion.java in your middle tier & execute
command
javac JDBCVersion.java
This will create class file in your workign directory. Include your current
directory into your classpath like
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/
then execute
java JDBCVersion
you should see output like
JDBC driver version is 9.2.0.6.0
Which means you are using jdbc thin driver version 9.2.0.6.0.

How to check if Apps 11i System is Autoconfig enabled ?

Under $AD_TOP/bin check for file adcfginfo.sh & if this exists use
adcfginfo.sh contextfile= show=enabled
If this file is not there , look for any configuration file under APPL_TOP if
system is Autoconfig enabled then you will see entry like
# AutoConfig automatically generates this file. It will be read and .......

Context Editor

Database /appsutil/editcontext/
"To run the Context Editor:
On UNIX
editcontext
If the [COMMON_TOP]/util/editcontext (for Unix) or [COMMON_TOP]\util\editcontext
(for Windows) directory does not
exist, please refer to MetaLink Note 165195.1 titled ""Using AutoConfig to Manage
System Configurations with Oracle
Applications 11i"".
Copy the Context Editor meta data file adctxinf.tmp to the common top directory

EDITING CONTEXT FILE

Editing Context file(xml file) in Oracle apps R12 using Context editor.
It is a mandatory thing that you should not edit the context file or xml file
manually .
Context editor should be used for this(This can be used for updating ports or to
change any configuration)
of application Tier or database tier.
follow these steps to install context editor in your existing oracle apps R12
system.
Apply patch 2873456 from metalink
after applying you will not be able to invoke the editcontext executable and you
will get a error. this is because jre 1.1.8 which is
supplied along with this patch is no longer supported.
So download jre1.5.0_10 from sun.java.com and unpack it inside the path
editcontext/jre/Linux/
and rename the old 1.1.8 jre inside that
then go to the bin directory inside the editcontext directory
open the file runWizard.sh
and accordingly replace the jre directory and also replace the jre executable with
java in the same file ..
and invoke it from
$RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME/appsutil for editing database context(xml) file.
$COMMON_TOP/util for editing Application context(xml) file.
Syntax is
./editcontext
Before editing shutdown the application tier and after editing run autoconfig.sh to
update the configuration files to reflect the new value.

The URL for ext web node is

JTF Login Page for customers using CRM (Check for each MT using real host names).

You can find out the form are in Socket or Servlet mode in form configuration file
it is in $COMMON_TOP/html/bin and the file name is “appsweb_SID_hostname.cfg”.

s_forms_servlet_serverurl If value is blank that means this is not servlet else if

value is “/forms/formservlet” this indicates forms servlet.

1. Autoconfig. In autoconfig-enbled environment configuration file mwa.cfg is

written by autoconfig. So it would be good to modify any configuration setting that
you want to be permanent via AutoConfig editor in OAM. For all MWA server
configuration variables OA_VAR begins from s_mwa. There is also a description for
each parameter.
2. R12. While in 11i mwa.cfg is located in $MWA_TOP/secure, in R12 it’s in
$INST_TOP/admin/install. Startup script mwactl.sh in R12 is located in
$INST_TOP/admin/scripts
3. Dispatcher. If we are going to run multiple servers (specified by
mwa.TelnetPortNumber / s_mwaTelnetPortNo) then we most likely will also use
dispatcher to load balance client requests between MCSA telnet servers. We use
mwa.Dispatcher=host:port to set MCSA dispatcher (in AutoConfig there is
s_mwaDispatcherPort for the port setting). To start|stop dispatcher we can use:
mwactl.sh start_dispatcher | stop dispatcher.
Dispatcher is MWADIS binary within $MWA_TOP/bin directory. We can check whether
it’s running using:
ps -ef | grep MWADIS
4. OAM. There are Generic Services (MWA MSCA Telnet Server & MWA MSCA Telnet
Dispatchers) in OAM that corresponds to MSCA telnet server & dispatcher
respectively and can be used to start/stop them automatically.
5. Server shutdown. When we use
mwactl.sh -login / stop [port]
- it’s so called graceful shutdown. MCSA Telnet Server won’t stop unless there are
no clients currently using it. If you need to force shutdown, use stop_force
instead of stop
6. Tracing. Setting mwa.LogLevel could be very useful for trobleshooting issues
with MWA In 11.5.10/R12 this will usually produce serveral files within MWA log
directory:
.system.log
.INV.log
.WMS.log (optionally)
But for performance tuning we can also use SQL tracing. It can be enabled by
setting mwa.LogLevel (s_mwaLogLevel) to performance. SQL trace file will be put
into usual user_dump_dest directory on database server.

The steps that needs to be done to disable MWA are as follows:

1. Modify the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc/mobile.properties file by
commenting out the following line:
servlets.startup=oracle.apps.mwa.wap.engine.WapServlet

2. Comment out the following lines in the

$IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.properties file:
zones=mobile

3. Comment out the following lines in the

$IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.conf file:
ApJServGroupMount /mobile balance://OACoreGroup/mobile

Check if tcfsocket server is running

ps -ef|grep jre|grep comn

The AutoConfig check utility

The AutoConfig check utility is located at Target Database Tier /appsutil/bin

i) Check the AutoConfig configuration files by executing the following command
adchkcfg.sh contextfile=.xml appspass= – This report provides information about
All the profile options that get changed during the next normal execution of
AutoConfig.
– For every profile option there is information about the current value in the
database, the changed value and the AutoConfig script that changes the profile
option.
– The script will also create a zip file report “ADXcfgcheck.zip” that contains all
the files and reports mentioned above, so that you can copy the ADXcfgcheck.zip to
a local desktop PC and view the html report from there without breaking the hyper-
links in the report.

How to change all Applications user passwords

In apps, there are times when we want to force all the application users to change
their passwords. In apps 11i, we have a concurrent request under System
Administrator->

CP SQL*Plus Expire FND_USER Passwords

This concurrent request basically sets the fnd_user.password_date to null for all
apps users. The users are thus prompted to change their passwords on next login

Responsibility attached to a users

SELECT UNIQUE u.user_id, SUBSTR (u.user_name, 1, 30) user_name,
SUBSTR (r.responsibility_name, 1, 60) responsiblity,
SUBSTR (a.application_name, 1, 50) application
FROM fnd_user u,
fnd_user_resp_groups g,
fnd_application_tl a,
fnd_responsibility_tl r
WHERE g.user_id(+) = u.user_id
AND g.responsibility_application_id = a.application_id
AND a.application_id = r.application_id
AND g.responsibility_id = r.responsibility_id
ORDER BY SUBSTR (user_name, 1, 30),
SUBSTR (a.application_name, 1, 50),
SUBSTR (r.responsibility_name, 1, 60);

Query useful when user wants to get application wise responsibility list
SELECT (SELECT application_short_name
FROM fnd_application fa
WHERE fa.application_id = frt.application_id) application,
frt.responsibility_id, frt.responsibility_name
FROM apps.fnd_responsibility_tl frt;

####### Script to create LENOVO User ###################

Using following tables we can get the end-user access details:

APPLSYS.FND_LOGINS
APPLSYS.FND_LOGIN_RESPONSIBILITY
APPLSYS.FND_LOGIN_RESP_FORMS
APPLSYS.FND_UNSUCCESSFUL_LOGINS
FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS
ICX.ICX_FAILURES

Clients requires to restrict duplicate user sessions usually, so in previous

project we setted ICX_SESSIONS of DISABLED_FALG=Y to restrict the duplicate session
of E-buss suite user. { This can obtain by patch 21228669 }

Requirement:

Client want to secure login policy to more robust for users of 11i.
> The password contains at least one letter and at least one number
> The password does not contain the username
> If user tried more than 3 attempts , password should lock
> If user unable to login more than 2 attempted, need weekly report of those users.
After doing a bit R & D, recommanded for the client the following:

1. Change the profile option " Signon Password Failure limit" to 3, defalt is None.
2. Change the profile option " Signon Password Hard to guess" to YES, defalt is NO.
3. We are sheduling a con.program weekly using the tables FND_UNSUCCESSFUL_LOGINS
and ICX.ICX_FAILURES to reports on login attempts.
