Our previous solution to fix “one user cannot” logon was doomed by additional issues sooner than expected. We had to regenerate the jar files using ADADMIN finally to close the issue.

We are using Oracle EBS R12 for last 12 years and recently upgraded to 12.2.10. We hardly had much technical issues with the instance until recent days, then came a real annoyance.
One particular user was unable to logon. Instead of OA_HTML page, he was either getting redirected to logout page or the OA_HTML page keeps on trying to load. One of the workarounds we came across was, resetting his password. Once the password changed, he was taken to setup password page and to regular landing page. Well, this also turned into troublesome as each time his session expired, we were forced to reset his password.
So what went wrong? We had an issue with concurrent manager outputs and logs opening into a blank page recently. This happened after RMAN backup up, that is scheduled and we had to run autoconfig to fix this issue. Although autoconfig fixed that issue, opened issues with user logon, as explained above. We kept on watching the alerts for possible errors and there were none. Anyhow, we decided to do the following as the ONLY one relevant document we were able to find on Oracle support was “Unable To Login With One User On Oracle EBS Application (Doc ID 2480008.1)” and the case described was not our case.
This is what finally worked:
- Cleared global cache (didn’t fix issues)
- Shutdown Apps tier
- Ran autoconfig on database Tier
- Ran autoconfig on both Run and Patch file systems
- Restarted Apps tier and the issues were resolved
We really don’t know what happened after the RMAN & we didn’t update/altered the OS (Oracle Linux 7). Well, things could go south once in a while, after all Oracle EBS is such a huge and complex repository!
