To edit window registry
regedit (on run prompt)


To view a Linux desktop remotely
1. SSH to Linux server
2. Start the VNC server by typing 'vncserver' at the command line. Remember the display number.
3. Connect to the VNC server using a VNC viewer. Enter host name, display number, and VNC password for the user who started the session.
4. When finished, don't log out of Linux, just close the VNC viewer window.
5. If you wish, kill the VNC server session when finished. Or keep it running and use it next time you need to connect.



To use VNC to control or view a computer behind a firewall
The official VNC FAQ has a good explanation of using VNC through a firewall
at http://www.realvnc.com/faq.html#firewall. You must either open port 5900+N where N equals the VNC port assigned when you created a connection, or you must use SSH tunneling to channel the VNC traffic through ports that normally allow traffic through a firewall.
More detailed information is available at the link above.

To check if package/rpm is installed
rpm –qa grep {rpm_name} (From root)
eg: rpm -q binutils
To install package/rpm
rpm –ivh {rpm_name} (From root)

If you execute rpm with the -qa options (q for query mode, a for all installed packages) you will see the following if it is installed:

[oravis@myserver~]$ rpm -qa | grep libstdc++-devellibstdc++-devel-3.4.6-10
If your on a 64bit OS how do you know if this is the 32bit or 64bit version.
You need specify a query format in the rpm command. following example extract the name, version, release and architecture information for the libstdc++-devel package.

[oravis@myserver ~]$ rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}_%{ARCH}.rpm \ %{INSTALLTIME:date}\n" | grep libstdc++libstdc++-devel-3.4.6-10_x86_64.rpm

To check the amount of RAM and swap space available, run this:

grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo

Ex:
# grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 1034680 kB
# grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo
SwapTotal: 1534196 kB

The minimum RAM required is 1024MB, and the minimum required swap space is 1GB. Swap space should be twice the amount of RAM for systems with 2GB of RAM or less and between one and two times the amount of RAM for systems with more than 2GB.

You also need 2.5GB of available disk space for the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 software and another 1.2GB for the database. The /tmp directory needs at least 400MB of free space. To check the available disk space on your system, run the following command:

df -h
Ex:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 6.8G 1.3G 5.2G 20% /
/dev/sda1 99M 17M 77M 18% /boot

Kernel Parameter
Make sure you add following entry in /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.core_users_pid = 1
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
kernel.shmmax = 65536
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rrem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 262144
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_mzx = 262144

After adding these entries execute below command to take these parameters in to effect

sysctl –p /etc/sysctl.conf # sysctl -p
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
kernel.sysrq = 0
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
kernel.panic = 10
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 1
vm.dirty_ratio = 5
vm.lower_zone_protection = 100
vm.oom-kill = 0
kernel.shmmax = 34359738368
kernel.shmall = 8388608
kernel.sem = 2000 500000 100 250
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.msgmnb = 65535
kernel.msgmni = 2878
kernel.msgmax = 8192
fs.file-max = 131072
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 20000 65000

Create the Oracle Groups and User Account
Next, create the Linux groups and user account that will be used to install and maintain the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 software. The user account will be called oracle, and the groups will be oinstall and dba. Execute the following commands as root:

Ex:
# /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
# /usr/sbin/groupadd dba
# /usr/sbin/useradd -m -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# id
oracleuid=501(oracle) gid=502(oinstall) groups=502(oinstall),503(dba)

Set the password on the oracle account:

passwd oracle
Ex:
# passwd oracle
Changing password for user oracle.
New password:
Retype new password:
all authentication tokens updated successfully.

# groupadd dba
# useradd –d "/home/oracle" –m –g dba oracle
# passwd oracle

useradd
The general syntax for the useradd command is :

useradd -d home_directory -e expire_date -g initial_group -p password login_name

home_directory : Is the main directory within which the user is expected to store all his files and subdirectories.
For a user named ‘neha’ the home directory generally is /home/neha
expire_date : This is the date on which the user’s account expires and he/she cannot access the computer anymore unless the account is renewed.
initial_group : Every user in Linux belongs to a group which affects his file permissions. The initial group must be a group which already exists.
Password : This will be the user’s password to access his account
login_name : This will be the user name with which the user will access his account.

Eg :

useradd -d /home/neha -e 2009-12-03 -g root -p talent123 neha

creates a user named neha on my computer.

Home directory for user Neha is /home/neha
Expirty date is 3rd december,2009
Belongs to the ‘root’ group
Password is talent123

Incase you do not enter one of the parameters group, home, expire or shell they are replaced by their default values. These default values can be viewed using the “ useradd -D” command and can also be changed.


Configuring Kernel Parameters

Check and edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file with the following lines.

kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default = 1048576
net.core.rmem_max = 1048576
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144

Note: Make sure to reboot the system or run the command /sbin/sysctl –p to change the kernel parameters.

Add the following lines to the /etc/security/limits.conf file:

oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536


Add or edit the following line in the /etc/pam.d/login file, if it does not already exist:

session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so

Make sure that SELINUX=disabled in the the /etc/selinux/config file

Edit the /etc/redhat-release file replacing the current release information (Fedora Core release 6 (Zod)) with redhat-4

Create Directories
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle

Ex
#mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle

The Linux kernel is a wonderful thing. Unlike most other *NIX systems, Linux allows modification of most kernel parameters while the system is up and running. There's no need to reboot the system after making kernel parameter changes. Oracle Database 10g Release 2 requires the kernel parameter settings shown below. The values given are minimums, so if your system uses a larger value, don't change it.
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default=262144
net.core.wmem_default=262144
net.core.rmem_max=262144
net.core.wmem_max=262144

If you're following along and have just installed Linux, the kernel parameters will all be at their default values and you can just cut and paste the following commands while logged in as root.
cat /etc/sysctl.conf EOF
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default=262144
net.core.wmem_default=262144
net.core.rmem_max=262144
net.core.wmem_max=262144
EOF
/sbin/sysctl -p

Ex:
# cat /etc/sysctl.conf EOF

net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144

Run the following commands as root to verify your settings:
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep shm
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep sem
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep file-max
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep ip_local_port_range
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep rmem_default
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep rmem_max
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep wmem_default
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep wmem_max

Ex:
# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep shm

# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep rmem_max
net.core.rmem_max = 262144
# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep wmem_default
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep wmem_max
net.core.wmem_max = 262144

For Novell SUSE Linux releases, use the following to ensure that the system reads the /etc/sysctl.conf file at boot time:
/sbin/chkconfig boot.sysctl on

Setting Shell Limits for the oracle User
Oracle recommends setting limits on the number of processes and open files each Linux account may use. To make these changes, cut and paste the following commands as root:
cat /etc/security/limits.conf EOF
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
EOF

cat /etc/pam.d/login EOF
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
EOF
For RHEL4, use the following:
cat /etc/profile EOF
if [ \$USER = ""oracle"" ]; then
if [ \$SHELL = ""/bin/ksh"" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
umask 022
fi
EOF

cat /etc/csh.login EOF
if ( \$USER == ""oracle"" ) then
limit maxproc 16384
limit descriptors 65536
umask 022
endif
EOF
For SLES 9, use the following:
cat /etc/profile.local EOF
if [ \$USER = ""oracle"" ]; then
if [ \$SHELL = ""/bin/ksh"" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
umask 022
fi
EOF

cat /etc/csh.login.local EOF
if ( \$USER == ""oracle"" ) then
limit maxproc 16384
limit descriptors 65536
umask 022
endif
EOF

How to schedule a Job in Unix
Use cronjob
crontab -l ( list current jobs in cron)
crontab -e ( edit current jobs in cron )
_1_ _2_ _3_ _4_ _5_ $Job_Name
1 - Minutes (0-59)
2 - Hours ( 0-24)
3 - day of month ( 1- 31 )
4 - Month ( 1-12)
5 - A day of week ( 0- 6 ) 0 -> sunday 1-> monday
e.g. 0 0 1 * 5 Means run job at Midnight on 1st of month & every friday
crontabs are in /var/spool/cron. The date/time of the users file is the last time they modified /var/cron/log

Group and User Creation in Solairs.
This post is for creating an Unix Group and a User.

Solaris 5.10
--------------------------------------
Creating a Group:
--------------------------------------

For instance: Group - dba

Login as ROOT User

login: root
Password:
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005
#

To Check whther the group is already created.

# grep dba /etc/group
or
# cat /etc/groupgrep dba

If dba group info is not displayed, then

To create a Group:

# groupadd dba

Syntax: groupadd -g

# cat /etc/groupgrep dba

dba:103:

Note: The gid, which needs to be changed, should be not being the gid of other group.
Example:
# usermod -g 333 dba
UX: groupmod: ERROR: 103 is already in use. Choose another.

To remove a Group:

# groupdel dba

# cat /etc/groupgrep dba

Commands:
---------

Create Group - groupadd
Modify Group - groupmod
Remove Group - groupdel

For more details, check the man pages i.e. man groupadd, man groupmod, and man groupdel

--------------------------------------
Creating a User Account:
--------------------------------------

For instance: User - Oracle

Login as ROOT User

login: root
Password:
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005
#

To Check whther the oracle user is already created.

# grep oracle /etc/passwd
Or
# id –a oracle

If Oracle group info is not displayed, then

To create a User:

# useradd –d /export/home/oracle –m -g dba -s /bin/sh oracle


Note: In the above command

RDA

review, download and run the ./rda.sh script as described in Note: 250262.1

other notes for rda
Note: 314422.1 - Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) 4 - Getting Started
Note: 330363.1 - Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) 4 - FAQ
Note: 330344.1 - Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) 4 - Training
Note: 330362.1 - Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) 4 - Troubleshooting Guide

To simplify RDA configuration, use an RDA profile, and the best choice is the DB9i profile, even for 10g or 11g, because the DB10g profile is a superset of DB9i that adds stuff we don't care about (for DB Install). First set the ORA* environment variables for the DB of interest, then run the RDA config pass:

Unix:
cd {dir you unzipped RDA into}
export ORACLE_HOME={dir}
export ORACLE_SID={name}
./rda.sh -Syvp DB9i

Next, edit the resulting setup.cfg file, search for 'sysdba' (first hit will be a comment), and change the 2 lines directly above and below as follows:
for SQL_LOGIN= replace 'system' with '/' and for SQL_SYSDBA= replace 0 with 1
then save it, and run the (rda) command again, with no arguments this time:
Unix:
./rda.sh
The output subdirectory will contain a new RDA*.zip file for you to upload

Checking whether Forms Socket or Forms Servlets are used
Look for the line in jserv.conf file
#ApJServGroup FormsGroup 1 1 /u02/oracle/visora/iAS/Apache/Jserv/etc/forms.properties
If using servlets this line will be uncommented.
Check the appsweb.cfg under OA_HTML/bin for the following line
if using Servlets this line will be uncommented.
; serverURL=/forms/formservlet
If the serverURL is uncommented and set, then you are using Forms Servlets.
Otherwise, you are using the Socket connection mode.


Middle/Application Tier Scripts in R12
-------------------------------------------------

Scripts for Application Tier services in R12 are located in "Install_base/inst/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/admin/scripts"
where CONTEXT_NAME is of format SID_HOSTNAME

i) adstrtal.sh
Master script to start all components/services of middle tier or application tier. This script will use Service Control API to start all services which are enabled after checking them in context file (SID_HOSTNAME.xml or CONTEXT_NAME.xml)

ii) adstpall.sh
Master script to stop all components/services of middle tier or application tier.

iii) adalnctl.sh
Script to start / stop apps listener (FNDFS and FNDFS). This listener will file will be in 10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME (i.e. Forms & Reports Home)
listener.ora file will be in $INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/ora/10.1.2/network/admin directory
(Mostly similar to one in 11i with only change in ORACLE_HOME i.e. from 8.0.6 to 10.1.2 )

iv) adapcctl.sh
Script to start/stop Web Server or Oracle HTTP Server. This script uses opmn (Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server) with syntax similar to opmnctl [startstop]proc ohs
like opmnctl stopproc ohs .



(In 11i this script directly used to call apachectl executable but now calls opmnctl which in turn calls apachectl. In 11i web server oracle home was 1.0.2.2.2 but in R12 its 10.1.3)

v) adcmctl.sh
Script to start / stop concurrent manager, Similar to one in 11i. (This script in turn calls startmgr.sh )

vi) adformsctl.sh
Script to start / stop Forms OC4J from 10.1.3 Oracle_Home. This script will also use opmnctl to start/stop Forms OC4J like
opmnctl stopproc type=oc4j instancename=forms

vii) adformsrvctl.sh
This script is used only if you wish to start forms in socket mode. Default forms connect method in R12 is servlet.
If started this will start frmsrv executable from 10.1.2 Oracle_Home in Apps R12


viii) adoacorectl.sh
This script will start/stop oacore OC4J in 10.1.3 Oracle_Home. This scripts will also use opmnctl (similar to adapcctl & adformsctl) to start oacore instance of OC4J like
opmnctl startproc type=oc4j instancename=oacore

ix) adoafmctl.sh
This script will start/stop oafm OC4J in 10.1.3 Oracle_Home. This scripts will also use opmnctl (similar to above) to start oacore instance of OC4J like
opmnctl startproc type=oc4j instancename=oafm

x) adopmnctl.sh
This script will start/stop opmn service in 10.1.3 Oracle_Home. opmn will control all services in 10.1.3 Oracle_Home like web server or various oc4j instances. If any services are stopped abnormally opmn will/should start them automatically.

xi) jtffmctl.sh
This script will be used to start/stop one to one fulfilment server.

xii) mwactl.sh
To start / stop mwa telnet server where mwa is mobile application.

Services
(new concept introduced in R12) define the set of processes that will be started on each application node. These services can be activated or deactivated on a specific application tier/node.


Type of Application Services
Application tier processes are broadlyclassified in to five type of Services

i) Root Service - Oracle Process Manager and Notification (OPMN) is part of Oracle Application Server 10G R2/R3. OPMN is used for inter process communication (between OC4J, HTTP Server), death detection and start/stop of Services for 10g R3.

ii) Web Entry Point Services - HTTP Server is part of Oracle Application Server 10G R3 and built on Apache (aka Oracle Apache. All web request to R12 first hit HTTP Server.

iii) Web Application Services - OACORE OC4J, Forms OC4J, OAFM OC4J - These are set of 3 OC4J (Oracle Container for J2EE) to run application.

iv) Batch Processing Services - This set of service consist of Apps Listener (FNDFS & FNDSM), Concurrent Manager, Fulfillment Server and Interaction Server

v) Other Services - Oracle Forms Service, Forms Metric Client/Server and Mobile Web Application (MWA)Service


Process—> Services –> StartupScript –>Context parameter
a) Oracle Process Manager - Root Service - adopmnctl.sh- s_root_status, s_opmnstatus
b) Oracle HTTP Server - Web Entry Point Service - adapcctl.sh- s_web_entry_status, s_oacorestatus
c) OACORE OC4J - Web Application Services - adoacorectl.sh- s_web_applications_status s_oacorectrl
d) FORMS OC4J - Web Application Services - adformsctl.sh- s_web_applications_status, s_formsstatus
e) OAFM OC4J - Web Application Services - adoafmctl.sh- s_web_applications_status, s_oafmstatus
f) Concurrent Manager - Batch Processing Service - adcmctl.sh- s_batch_status, s_concstatus
g) Apps Listener - Batch Processing Service - adalnctl.sh- s_batch_status, s_tnsstatus
h) Interaction Center (ICSM) - Batch Processing Service - ieoicsm.sh- s_batch_status, s_icsmctrl
i) Fulfillment Server - Batch Processing Service - jtffmctl.sh- s_batch_status, s_jtffsstatus
j) Forms Server - Other Service - adformsrvctl.sh- s_other_service_group_status , s_formsserver_status
k) Metric Client - Other Service - adfmcctl.sh- s_other_service_group_status , s_metcstatus
l) Metric Server - Other Service - adfmsctl.sh- s_other_service_group_status , s_metsstatus
m) Mobile Web Application (MWA) - Other Service - mwactlwrpr.sh- s_other_service_group_status , s_mwastatus


Important:
1) When you select Root services, Web Services are automatically selected i.e. First three Services Root, Web Entry Point and Web Application Services can only be enabled or disabled together.
If you want Web Entry Point Services, Web Application Services, and Root Services to be installed on different nodes then use autoconfig after installation.

2. In R12 with introduction of Services there is NO concept of Forms node or Web Node.

3. With default installation all services Root, Web Entry Point, Web Application Services, Batch Processing and Otherservices are enabled.

406558.1 Configuring Applications Node Services in Oracle Applications Release 12 (Metalink Note)
Chapter2 of "Oracle® Applications Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install Release 12" at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40089_10/current/acrobat/120oaig.pdf


JSP in R12
Here is the explaination why we need to compile jsp when ever we clear JCache.Here clearing JCache means removing class files from JSP pages which will be there under the directory called $COMMON_TOP/_pages.

So in Release 11i when ever we clear the JCache and after bouncing apache, new class files are created automatically when the JSP page is called from a browser session and JSP was rendered fine.
But incase of  Release 12 it's observed that when calling the JSP no class file is created in the diretciry $COMMON_TOP/_pages so we need to create it manually. We have an alternative method, but it is not recommended.

An alternative is to change the value for the main_mode parameter to recompile (instead of justrun)
This can be achieved with the following steps

Use the Context editor to change the value for "s_jsp_main_mode" in the .xml file used by autoconfig and change value from justrun to recompile
Run Autoconfig to propagate the changes to the configuration files
Verify that now the $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oacore/application-deployments/oacore/html/orion-web.xml  has
   
      
         main_mode
         recompile
      
   
Test the scenario failing before.
See that now a new _.class is created when the JSP page is called.
For production environment the manual 'ojspcompile.pl' method is recommended for the following reasons

With 'justrun' a fixed set of JSP is used which can not change due to maintenance actions. With 'recompile' the JSP pages replacing exsiting ones will recompile automatically while environment is up-and-running. This may lead to errors for the users when compilation fails or different version of the JSP being used within a single session.
Using 'justrun' skips the check if compilation is needed and therefor improves performance

Application server

Start/Stop 10g AS

0g AS architecture consist of
infrastructure Services (Database & Identity Management)
&
Middle tier Services (Portal & Wireless or BI & Forms)
[j2ee & webcache type (which is third middle tier Installation type)]

Startup Sequence

--Start Database Listener
-- Start Database
-- Start Infrastructure Services
-- Start Middle Tier Services

Shutdown Sequence
-- Shutdown Middle Tier Services
-- Shutdown Infrastructure Services
-- Stop Database
-- Stop database listener

What utility I should use to startup / shutdown (Bouncing) for 10g AS ?
You can use iasconsole (Browser based console listening in default port 1156) to startup shutdown services
You can also use opmnctl ; command line tool (Oracle Process Management & Notification) control to startup shutdown services

dcmctl utility to start/stop services is now deprecated & should not be used

Startup
Start listener as - lsnrctl start [listener_name]
Start Database as - sqlplus ""/as sysdba""; SQL> startup
Start Infrastructure Services as - opmnctl startall (Make sure your are in Infra Home)
Start Middle Tier Services as - opmnctl startall (Make sure your are in Middle Tier Home)

Shutdown
Stop Middle Tier Services as - opmnctl stopall (Make sure your are in Middle Tier Home)
Stop Infrastructure Services as - opmnctl stopall (Make sure your are in Infra Home)
Stop Database as - sqlplus ""/as sysdba""; SQL> shutdown immediate
Stop listener as - lsnrctl stop [listener_name]

How to start/stop iasconsole ?
you can start/stop services using iasconsole but before that you have to start / stop iasconsole itself which you can do by emctl (em - enterprise manager)

emctl start iasconsole
emctl stop iasconsole

You can access ias console screen from browser by url
http://host.domain:em_port/emd (Default em port is 1156)
http://host.domain:1156/emd (This will prompt username password , use ias_admin)

How to start individual component ?
Step mentioned above are to stop/start all components in Middle Tier or Infrastructure Tier , what if I want to start/stop/restart only few components of a Tier ? You will use

opmnctl [startproc stopproc restartproc] ias-component=[component_name]
or
opmnctl [startproc stopproc restartproc] process-type=[process_name]

Where Component Name like - OC4J, OID, HTTP_Server, WebCache and
Process Type like - WebCacheAdmin, OC4J_Portal, OC4J_Security


How to start / stop webcache ?
To start/stop webcache with 10g AS, use
opmnctl startproc/stopproc ias-component=WebCache
For standalone J2ee & Webcache Installation use
webcachectl start/stop

How to troubleshoot Webcache Issues ?
Webcache logs are at $ORACLE_HOME/logs event_logs & access_log , all issues errors are recorded in event_logs so check this file any issues related to Webcache

OID
If you don't know which ports your OID is using refer
portlist.ini in $ORACLE_HOME/install (Note that this file will not list updated port if you change OID ports after Installation)
You should an entry like
Oracle Internet Directory port = 389
Oracle Internet Directory (SSL) port = 636


How to start OID ?
OID process is controlled by opmn (Oracle process monitor & notification server) so you by default use opmnctl command
To Start OID opmnctl startproc ias-component=OID
To Stop OID opmnctl stopproc ias-component=OID

OID can also be started without OPMN by
First start oidmon (OID Monitor Process)
Then use oidctl (OID control)
To stop OID without OPMN
First stop oid process using oidctl then stop oidmon (OID monitoring process)

When you start services using opmnctl , it inturn start oidmon & oidctl


SSO login URL
User can login to E-Business Suite Locally (NO SSO, directly from FND_USER) or to SSO (authentication via SSO) or BOTH. Set profile option "Applications SSO Login Types" to LOCAL or BOTH at userlevel and use

To check current Oracle Application Server Patchset version i.e. if 10.1.3.0 or 10.1.3.1 or 10.1.3.2
a) Using runInstaller
–Invoke runInstaller from 1013_ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin
–Click on Installed Products.
–Select the 10.1.3 Oracle Home and expand the tree. You should see Oracle Application Server Patchset 10.1.3.X patch in the list.

b) Using Opatch
Run the command ‘opatch lsinventory -detail‘
Look for ‘Oracle Application Server PatchSet‘ in the ‘Product‘ column.


OC4JADMIN password.
If your source oracle home version is 10.1.3.0 then password for oc4jadmin is secret else (for 10.1.3.1/2/3) password is oafm

To know 10g discoverer version
To get the existing version name of Discoverer Server on Unix, go to $ORACLE_HOME/bin and run the command:
strings -a dis51ws | grep ""Discoverer Version:""
Otherwise you can start Discoverer Plus/Viewer and check the version.


To unlock ias_admina nd orcladmin a/c ---> 280116.1
Just go to the directory

$ORACLE_HOME/sysman/j2ee/conf. In this directory you'll find the configuration file

jazn-data.xml. Inside this configuration file you'll find the definition of the

ias_admin user including his encrypted password:

* snippet from jazn-data.xml

...

ias_admin
{903}YdvTMA...


Inside the tag you see the encrypted password of the ias_admin. To reset the password, just change the value inside the tag as follows:

snippet from jazn-data.xml

...

ias_admin
!mynewpassword1


The new password you have to provide in clear text has to start with a ""!"". Be aware that the new password must match the password rules: minimum 6 signs and one sign must be a number. After your changes, stop the ASC and restart it with following commands:

* emctl stop iasconsole
* emctl start iasconsole

Now you can login with your new password and inside the jazn-data.xml the provided
password in clear text is automatically changed into an encrypted password.
