Ø 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.
Ø How to
verify the operation of the oracle reports server for ebusiness Suites 11i?
In Oracle Applications 11i, the simplest method to check
if the Oracle Reports server is functional is that we need to "temporarily" enable the Oracle
Reports Server diagnostic mode and bring up the "Environment" and
"RWCGI Key Map" page via a web browser.
o Enable the Oracle Reports Server diagnostic mode.
We need to comment out any reference to the
REPORTS60_CGINODIAG and REPORTS60_OWSNODIAG parameters from the following
files:
$APACHE_TOP/Apache/conf/apps.conf
$FND_TOP/resource/appsweb.cfg
$OAD_TOP/admin/scripts//adrepctl.sh
Bounce the Oracle Reports server and the Apache (Web)
server.
o Environment Check.
http://://rwcgi60/showenv?server=
o "RWCGI
Key Map" Check.
http://://rwcgi60/showmap?server=
Lets take an
example:
http://erp.com:8000/dev60cgi/rwcgi60/showenv?server=REP60_VIS
Please note : The host and port is the
same used for Apps login, the Web / Apache node.
If the Oracle Reports server installed with Oracle
Applications 11i ,it will display the "Environment" and "RWCGI
Key Map" page via a web browser, please check with the application product
group who owns the troubled report for any required setup at the application
level.
If the Oracle Reports server installed with Oracle
Applications 11i fails to display the "Environment" and "RWCGI
Key Map" page via a web browser, please open a service request with the
oracle support and upload a screen print
of the error being encountered, and the following data:
1. Upload as a zip file with the following files.
a. The
Apps 8.0.6 $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora file.
b. $APACHE_TOP/Apache/conf/apps.conf
file
c. $ORACLE_HOME/reports60/server/CGIcmd.dat
d. $ORACLE_HOME/reports60/server/REP60_.ora
e. $FND_TOP/resource/appsweb.cfg
f. $OAD_TOP/admin/scripts/adrepctl.sh
(The exact adrepctl.sh file used to start the report
server.)
2. Upload the report server's log files.
a. The
Apps report server startup log file. The variable REPSRV_LOG within the
adrepctl.sh points to the log file.
b. The
Oracle Reports server log file.
$ORACLE_HOME/reports60/server/REP60_.log
3. Is the report server currently running; Check the
output of ps -ef | grep rwmt ?
Ø Applications Framework Processing in
R12.
The following are the steps to explain, how the JSP
obtains the content from the Applications tables and uses information from the
metadata dictionary to construct the HTML page.
1. AOL/J
validates user access to the page.
2. The
page definition (metadata UI definition) is loaded from the metadata repository
on the database tier into the
application tier.
3. The
BC4J objects that contain the application logic and access the database are
instantiated.
4. The
Java Controller programmatically manipulates the page definition as necessary,
based on dynamic UI rules.
UIX (HTML UI Generator) interprets the page
definition, creates the corresponding HTML in accordance with UI
standards, and sends the page to the browser.
