ERROR: /oracle/Agent/linux_x64/agent//install/response//emnoseed.rsp file doesnot exists.



 
 
 

Solution :

 

1) create the response file.

2) Copy the response file to location where the emnoseed.rsp file should be . ( whatever location installer complains about)

 

eg :  /oracle/Agent/linux_x64/agent//install/response//emnoseed.rsp

 

 cp /oracle/Agent/linux_x64/response/additional_agent.rsp /oracle/Agent/linux_x64/agent//install/response//emnoseed.rsp

 

3) rerun the installer with ( or without ) responsefile.

Solution:


The WebLogic can’t access the Toplink libraries (a Java persistence layer from Oracle) that it needs to create the database tables for the scheduler.
Now Toplink is shipped with the BI Publisher software, but you need to edit the script that launches the WebLogic Admin Server so that it knows about it.

To do this, 

shut down the WeLogic Admin Server (just CTRL-C in the console window that’s running it), locate the script that runs the Admin Server startup
(mine was at /opt/app/oracle/test/midfortest/user_projects/domains/test_domain/bin/startWebLogic.sh) and add -Dtoplink.xml.platform=oracle.toplink.platform.xml.jaxp.JAXPPlatform to the startup script, so that it goes from this:

if [ "${WLS_REDIRECT_LOG}" = "" ] ; then
    echo "Starting WLS with line:"
    echo "${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java ${JAVA_VM} ${MEM_ARGS} -Dweblogic.Name=${SERVER_NAME} -Djava.security.policy=${WL_HOME}/server/lib/weblogic.policy ${JAVA_OPTIONS}  ${PROXY_SETTINGS} ${SERVER_CLASS}"
    ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java ${JAVA_VM} ${MEM_ARGS} -Dweblogic.Name=${SERVER_NAME} -Djava.security.policy=${WL_HOME}/server/lib/weblogic.policy ${JAVA_OPTIONS}  ${PROXY_SETTINGS} ${SERVER_CLASS}
else
    echo "Redirecting output from WLS window to ${WLS_REDIRECT_LOG}"
    ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java ${JAVA_VM} ${MEM_ARGS} -Dweblogic.Name=${SERVER_NAME} -Djava.security.policy=${WL_HOME}/server/lib/weblogic.policy ${JAVA_OPTIONS}  ${PROXY_SETTINGS} ${SERVER_CLASS}  >"${WLS_REDIRECT_LOG}" 2>&1
fi

to this

if [ "${WLS_REDIRECT_LOG}" = "" ] ; then
    echo "Starting WLS with line:"
    echo "${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java ${JAVA_VM} ${MEM_ARGS} -Dweblogic.Name=${SERVER_NAME} -Djava.security.policy=${WL_HOME}/server/lib/weblogic.policy ${JAVA_OPTIONS} -Dtoplink.xml.platform=oracle.toplink.platform.xml.jaxp.JAXPPlatform ${PROXY_SETTINGS} ${SERVER_CLASS}"
    ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java ${JAVA_VM} ${MEM_ARGS} -Dweblogic.Name=${SERVER_NAME} -Djava.security.policy=${WL_HOME}/server/lib/weblogic.policy ${JAVA_OPTIONS} -Dtoplink.xml.platform=oracle.toplink.platform.xml.jaxp.JAXPPlatform ${PROXY_SETTINGS} ${SERVER_CLASS}
else
    echo "Redirecting output from WLS window to ${WLS_REDIRECT_LOG}"
    ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java ${JAVA_VM} ${MEM_ARGS} -Dweblogic.Name=${SERVER_NAME} -Djava.security.policy=${WL_HOME}/server/lib/weblogic.policy ${JAVA_OPTIONS} -Dtoplink.xml.platform=oracle.toplink.platform.xml.jaxp.JAXPPlatform ${PROXY_SETTINGS} ${SERVER_CLASS}  >"${WLS_REDIRECT_LOG}" 2>&1

Solution is to :


Set up the BI Publisher repository.
To set up the BI Publisher repository, copy the XMLP repository to a location on
your server, then edit the configuration file to point to the saved location, as
follows:
a. Copy the XMLP repository directory from \manual on your installation media
to your server.
b. Open the xmlp-server-config.xml file located in the
c:mydestination\xmlpserver\WEB-INF\
directory where you unpacked the ear or war file.
c. Replace ${oracle.home}/xdo/repository with the file path to the
location where you copied the XMLP repository directory on your server. For
example, if you copied the repository directory to
/home/repository/XMLP, update the xmlp-server-config.xml file as
follows:





d. Save xmlp-server-config.xml after updating.

Managed Server failed to start when started from console.

failed with below Error





Parsing Failure in config.xml: java.lang.AssertionError: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.bea.wcp.sip.management.descriptor.beans.SipServerBean




SOLUTION:


You have to make sure this class is in the classpath: com.bea.wcp.sip.management.descriptor.beans.SipServerBean.

You have to edit the nodemanager.properties file and set the variable StartScriptEnabled=true instead of the default false.
The nodemanager.properties file is usually located in the directory: /wlserver_10.3/common/nodemanager.

Now the nodemanager uses the start script usually startWebLogic, which calls the setDomainEnv in which the classpath for the SIP server is set.

When you use the startManagedServer command the setDomainEnv is called so the classpath is set.

Adworker fails with below error




ATTENTION: All workers either have failed or are waiting:




FAILED: file bomprg.ldt on worker 2.

FAILED: file jg12acp.ldt on worker 3.



Dumping LCT file /db2/oracle/EBS/DEV1/apps/apps_st/appl/fnd/12.0.0/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct(120.2.12010000.2) into FND_SEED_STAGE_CONFIG

A database error occurred:

ORA-24816: Expanded non LONG bind data supplied after actual LONG or LOB column

 
 
Solution: Set the env and run the program manually or


To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:




If the Patch is stopped please just change setup for environment variable NLS_LANG to proper value and restart adpatch (continue previous session).



For example:



If the database characterset is UTF8 set NLS_LANG to American_America.UTF8.



a. Execute 'export' as follows.



# export NLS_LANG=American_America.UTF8



b. Query value for NLS_LANG to verify it.



#echo $NLS_LANG (Unix)

>echo %NLS_LANG% (Windows)



OR



If adpatch is still running but hanging due to failed workers:



1. Stop adpatch.



Please use adctrl utility to stop adpatch.



The best way to do this is to shut down the workers manually, which

also causes the AD utility to quit in an orderly fashion.



Action

a. Select AD Controller(adctrl) Option 3 and enter all for the worker number. Each worker

stops once it completes or fails its current job.



b. Verify that no worker processes are running. Use a command similar to the one

in the following example. The command arguments may vary on different

platforms.

UNIX:

$ ps -a
grep adworker

Windows:

Invoke the Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) to view processes.



c. When all workers have shut down, the manager and the AD utility quits.



2. Change NLS_LANG setup.



Please refer to the example above.



3. Start adpatch again, continue previous session.



Check if AutoPatch is progressing, if not use adctrl utility, option 2 to restart failing worker.



4. How to avoid similar issue in the future.



Verify NLS_LANG setup in the Autoconfig Context file.



Edit the context file using Oracle Applications Manager(OAM) or Context Editor and find value for NLS_LANG:



If the database characterset is UTF8 it should be:



American_America.UTF8

American_America.UTF8

American_America.UTF8



If NLS_LANG parameters have different values than expected please apply corrections. Then execute Autoconfig and make sure it was successful.



5. Test if the changes to NLS_LANG were successful.



Source the env file and query:



#echo $NLS_LANG (Unix)

>echo %NLS_LANG% (Windows)

runInstaller doesnot display ASM disks during 11gR2 grid (cluster) installation

During 11gR2 Grid installation the candidate disks for vote and ocr were not displayed in the list screen. The issue may be many but one of the reason for this behaviour is the permission .



The runinstaller uses /usr/sbin/oracleasm-discover to to display the files and not oracleasm and its behaviour mainly depends on the filepermissoins under /dev/oracleasm

EG: ( First we will use root user and then the actual user trying to install the software )
