Oracle Applications R12 | error while loading shared libraries: libig.so.0…

applprod@erp-prodbak.my.home:/u01/applprod/PROD/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/forms/US>

Recently I cloned our Production instance to check the feasibility of OEL 6.7 & as usual securely copied most of the bash profile for the Oracle and Application manager users from the production server.

I came across the “cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory” error while trying to compile an old form module & hadn’t have a clue for how to deal with this error, that happened to me first time in last 8 years with Oracle applications.

I crosschecked the folder permissions against production instance and everything was fine. All I could remember which could have gone wrong was narrowed down to the bash profile for the application user and after validating I realized that I was sourcing a wrong environment file!

Instead of sourcing the “/apps/apps_st/appl/APPSPRODBAK_hostname.env” file, I was sourcing “/apps/apps_st/appl/PRODBAK_hostname.env”. I realized it while trying to echo the $ORACLE_HOME variable as application manager user.

So, if you come across “error while loading shared libraries” error while trying to compile, before start dismantling your instance, try to see whether you have sourced the environment variables correctly.

Oracle Weblogic | Reports 11g | cgicmd.dat | Key mapping issues

On By windows7bugsIn Linux, Oracle related, Weblogic, Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1Leave a comment

 

Hi guys

I’ve been installing and configuring Weblogic 10.3.6 & 12c (recently) and came across a peculiar issue, where the reports server failing to map the keys I’ve specified with cgicmd.dat file.

The best I could recollect from my memories was, I only added the keys to a single instance of cgicmd.dat file, as there are many instances of the same file once after classic domains are created.

Under linux installations you will find the file in 3 different locations once after the domain created and WLS_REPORTS server started.

 

[root@wls Middleware]# find /u01/Oracle/Middleware/ -name cgicmd.dat
/u01/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/servers/WLS_REPORTS/tmp/_WL_user/reports_11.1.2/uxabaw/configuration/cgicmd.dat
/u01/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_REPORTS/applications/reports_11.1.2/configuration/cgicmd.dat
/u01/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_FRHome1/reports/conf/cgicmd.dat

[root@wls Middleware]#

image

Under usual scenarios you need to add the keys ONLY to the cgicmd.dat file present in

/u01/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_REPORTS/applications/reports_11.1.2/configuration/

folder.

With my latest installations of 12c & 11g, I had issue getting the keys mapped properly & after loads and loads of googling I decided to add the same key to all available instances of cgicmd.dat one after another.

So I started with the first instance of cgicmd.dat file, that was found under

/u01/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/servers/WLS_REPORTS/tmp/_WL_user/reports_11.1.2/uxabaw/configuration/cgicmd.dat

which is WLS_REPORTS temporary folder. I added the key, restarted the WLS_REPORTS server & the key was mapped as required!

This could be a nasty bug because I don’t remember adding the keys to multiple files while I tried out forms and reports 11g Release 2 almost 2 years back!

The most interesting part of the entire exercise is, once the key mapping happens successfully, you can remove the keys from cgicmd.dat file that in the temporary location and everything works! Could be the magic of cache Winking smile

So if you come across key mapping issues, you know where to look at for a quick fix.

R12 | Clone response file | adcfgclone automation

On By windows7bugsIn Linux, Oracle Applications(R12), UncategorizedLeave a comment

Hi guys

If you are familiar with R12 cloning, the entire process requires loads of input from a DBA before the cloning really starts kicking in. Now, there could be hundreds of reasons for the cloning process to fail and keeping on entering the responses for the cloning prompts are NOT at all fun, minimum for me.

So I started searching for “R12 clone response file” & google landed me in this post

https://community.oracle.com/thread/2142127?start=0&tstart=0

Excellent way Hussein Sawwan-Oracle has explained how to create the response files for both db, apps tier.

clone

First of all, context file to response file creation has a validation flag, which confirms the responses provided are valid throughout the response collection. This validate has a downside with the port pool selection. You will receive a port is not free error while the Oracle application is online, for which a system reboot is most recommended (rather than selecting “No” for the validation process”) after graceful shutdown of both application and database tiers.

I’m using .bash_profile files to source the environment for both my Oracle (oraprod) and Application Manager (applprod) accounts, hence I was able to shorten the efforts like following

As Oracle user (oraprod)

# cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone/bin
# perl adclonectx.pl contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE outfile=/u02/db.xml

Provided the responses and the db.xml was successfully created under /u02 and the context file creation log was created under /u02/log folder.

Please make sure you do “echo $CONTEXT_FILE” to check whether you $CONTEXT_FILE returns a meaningful file name!

As Application Manager user (applprod)

# cd $COMMON_TOP/clone/bin
# perl adclonectx.pl contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE outfile=/u02/appl.xml

Now you should able to run the cloning processes using the newly cloned context files, for example

# perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier /u02/db.xml
# perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier /u02/appl.xml

That’s all folks, it works like a charm & you are NOT anymore typing in whole those lengthy paths and other variables :)

RC-50004, AC-00005: No write permissions for creating the Context file – /tmp/temp.xml

On By windows7bugsIn Linux, Oracle Applications(R12)10 Comments

Hi guys

Linux file/folder permissions could be very confusing for a beginner, minimum for me! After these many years of interacting with Linux I still get confused deciding what rights should be given to users or groups on certain folders :)

I came across a situation where the application tier cloning was continuously failing with the title error

RC-50004, AC-00005: No write permissions for creating the Context file – /tmp/temp.xml ?

I checked the for the /tmp folder permissions and realized the application user (applmgr/appltest) had proper right permissions on /tmp folder, yet the adcfgclone will not proceed after

[code language=”text”]

Do you want to preserve the Display [erp-prod:0.0] (y/n) ? : n

Target System Display [erp-prodbak:0.0] :
RC-50004: Error occurred in CloneContext:
AC-00005: No write permissions for creating the Context file – /tmp/temp.xml
Raised by oracle.apps.ad.context.AppsContext
Check Clone Context logfile /u01/applprod/PROD/apps/apps_st/comn/clone/bin/CloneContext_1208121418.log for details.

[/code]

After few attempts I came against another blog, that was explaining the situation in a different way. http://newgendba.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-quick-solve-this-post-clone.html

Blogger has suggested to check whether temp.xml created by another user exist in the /tmp folder, which was the actual reason in my case. I found temp.xml file created by “root” and deleted the same and cloning process just went all the way fine.

 

Hope this info helps few of those once in a bluemoon DBAs out there :)

VirtualBox | SATA vs SCSI

On By windows7bugsIn Linux, Oracle Applications(R12), Oracle related, Oracle VirtualBox5 Comments

Recently I tried to build a cloned instance of our production instance over VirtualBox for some emergency issues faced by our inventory module. As this instance was supposed to be only accessed by me, I opted to use my desktop machine for the same. Throughout the last many years I built my own machines, choosing the best available hardware at the time of building them. My current desktop configuration is like following

i7 processor, 16GB memory, 2x1TB 7200 RPM HDD, 2x2TB 5200 RPM HDD, 1x500GB HDD for the OS (Windows 8.1 64Bit)

and throughout the years I built dozens of Virtual Machines using Oracle VirtualBox, mainly for testing un-certified Oracle & other products in a sand-boxed environment, against the crippled VMplayer, VirtualBox’s unrestricted interface supported almost everything I needed from a virtual environment.

So I built my R12 instance, that is around 600GB roughly in size with almost 4.5-5 years of business data, media etc. The following resources were dedicated for the fresh VM

  • 4 processors
  • 10GB memory
  • 40GB fixed size SATA VDI for the Operating System (I used both OEL 5 & OEL 7 64bit)
  • 1.2TB fixed size SATA VDI for the instance files
  • A dedicated D-Link 10/100MB NIC

Once the instance came online, I removed, cancelled all the scheduled concurrent programs, changed the database level parameters like job_queue_processes etc, however the lag experienced throughout the access attempts remained the same. Sometimes the HTML pages took 5-6 minutes to open, forms based modules took 8-10 minutes to open and timeouts were happening, frustrating me to the most possible levels

That is when I decided to give VMPlayer a try, I converted the existing VDI for the OS as vmdk and created a fresh 850 fixed size vmdk for the instance files and attached the same as SCSI to the VM. Did the complete clone process and to my utter surprise, the login page loaded within a minutes once after the instance was started!

This lead me to do various attempts with the fresh instance, I was able to shutdown the instance much faster, forms were opening faster, though LOVs having more than thousands of items were taking more time than anticipated

Once again, I created another fresh VM with VirtualBox and attached the disks created for VMplayer with it and repeated the tests. Well, I got the same performances from the new VM and somehow I came to a conclusion that, both VirtualBox and VMPlayer provide better I/O for SCSI interfaces compared to plain SATA emulators, ironically, the disks were created over SATA drives!

This difference you may not experience with VMs those are not hosting resource hungry applications like Oracle E-Business Suite. So, if you are attempting what I had described above and notice the differences, please update me with comments section.

Oracle Payroll | R12 | Simple view for employee paid salaries

On By windows7bugsIn Linux, Oracle Applications(R12), UncategorizedLeave a comment

Recently I were requested to build a report by the HR/Payroll team, running which they can generate the salary paid details for employees. Ie, a tabular listing with paid month, and total salary earned, grouped by year factor

0046

I found the request being one of the toughest, as my exposure to Payroll module and base tables was limited almost none, other than knowing the person and assignment tables and views!

Gradually I started going through the custom reports developed by our implementer and restructured few of their custom functions into a best possible view what meets our current requirements.

Linux shell script file for Start/Stop Weblogic Services

On By windows7bugsIn Linux, Oracle Enterprise Linux, Oracle related, Weblogic, Windows 7, Windows 8Leave a comment

 

This time we are sharing a shell script for starting/stopping Weblogic services. This shell script can

Oracle Applications R12 “Emergency” Rapid Clone

On By windows7bugsIn Linux, Oracle Applications(R12)Leave a comment

There could be occasions when as an apps DBA you would be asked to provide a fresh clone either over test or development environment to address a serious issue.

Rapid Clone hierarchy usually requires a DBA to pre-clone both application & database tiers, shutting down the source system and then souring the relevant folders to target system.

Today we are going to share a minor hack which could help you, when you cannot JUST shutdown a Production instance, however the cloned instance is a mandatory element to deal with a particular situation.

(Please note, this hack is ONLY applicable to situations where the backups were made without running PRE-CLONE or errors were raised stating

  1. Control file creation failed : ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
  2. Certain database files were not recognized as part of the database : ORA-01565: error in identifying file)

Errors and example scenarios as mentioned with this thread

#cd /backup

#time tar –zcvf apps.tar.gz /u01/applprod/PROD/apps/*

(use “time” to check how much time the activity has taken)

Once the application tier has been tar balled

#time tar –zcvf db.tar.gz /u01/oraprod/PROD/db/*

Wait until the tar ball created

Now you can SCP the tar balls to your target system

scp –pr *.tar.gz root@targetsystem:/backup

The approximate time to transfer a database tar ball in 100GB size should be 33-35 minutes and the application tar ball in size 31GB around 9-10 minutes

Backup (if required after running the pre-clone) of your TEST/Development instance and delete the application and database folders (make sure you have shutdown the application and database instances)

#cd /u02/oratest/TEST/db

#rm –rf *

#cd /u02/appltest/TEST

#rm –rf *

Now extract the tar balls to respective base paths

#time tar –zxvf /backup/apps.tar.gz

We are already in the folder /u02/appltest/TEST so the application instance files will be extracted in the same location

Once the extraction is over, we can go ahead with extracting the database tier files

#cd /u02/oratest/TEST/db

#tar –zxvf db.tar.gz

Wait until the extraction part is over

The real hack starts from here

#cd /u02/oratest/TEST/db/tech_st/10.2.0/appsutil

#rm –rf *

Switch to source system (Aka Production instance)

#su – oraprod

If the .bash_profile has an exclusive call for the environment sourcing, your environment will be automatically sourced, else source it

Run pre-clone for the database tier now

$perl adpreclone.pl dbTier

Once the pre-clone activities completed successfully, switch to

$cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil

Create a tar file

$tar –zcvf appsutil.tar.gz *

Now move the new tar file to your TEST/Development instance

$scp –pr appsutil.tar.gz root@targetsystem:/backup

From the target system, move to

#cd /u02/oratest/TEST/db/tech_st/10.2.0/appsutil

Unzip the appsutil.tar.gz

#tar –zxvf /backup/appsutil.tar.gz

Once the files are extracted, change the ownership of the base path once again

#chown –R oratest:oinstall /u02/oratest

Change the access permissions

#chmod –R 777 /u02/oratest

Now as user “oratest” you can start the database tier cloning

#su – oratest

$cd /u02/oratest/TEST/db/tech_st/10.2.0/appsutil/clone/bin

$perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier

Once the database tier cloning completes successfully, you can proceed with application tier cloning, which doesn’t require any specific hacks

Side notes:

In my case I found that the “Gather schema statistics” program was missing from the scheduled jobs list. If you are experiencing slowness with your freshly cloned instance, it is highly recommended to run the said program prior going ahead with any other activities.

Make sure you would clear the cache under global configurations.

Hope you enjoyed another “hack” from us! Our sincere thanks and gratitude to Ravi Purbia (Sr. Apps DBA Consultant) who has provided us the details about this particular hack.

Oracle R12 Vision Instance 12.1.3 Cloning – step by step instructions

On By windows7bugsIn Linux, Oracle Applications(R12), Oracle Enterprise Linux2 Comments

*General Note: The below instructions, which were successfully completed and tested are from the prospective of a person who do not have any previous knowledge about cloning, advance level Linux administration etc. If you find it too amateurish, please let us know with the comments session and corrections. We will be more than happy to amend the post.

Most probably few of the errors we received with write permissions missing to /tmp for applprod user should because of missing Rapid Clone patches.

Prerequisites

Oracle VirtualBox (We don’t support a physical system as detailing a cloning for a Linux system wouldn’t fit entirely within the discussed topic)

Minimum 4GB of memory to spare for the Virtual Machine

500GB of free hard disk space (If you don’t have additional 500GB, you can use the same source machine for cloning, by backing up the necessary folders and after removing the E-BIZ folder entirely)

Step #1

Create a folder on a partition where you have 500GB or more space and call it “ebiznew”

Copy and paste both System.vdi and ebs1211db.vdi from your other virtual machine folder, where you have a properly working Vision Instance (We are not going to clone the existing VM using the VirtualBox clone utility)

Change the uuid for both System.vdi and ebs1211db.vid

E:\ebiznew>C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands
sethduuid System.vdi
UUID changed to: 5dbdd6e3-c8ff-431d-bdd8-edf31c3012fb

E:\ebiznew>C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands
sethduuid ebs1211db.vdi
UUID changed to: 05068998-dc4d-46ef-8f8f-1ae07b786bfa

[code language=”text” gutter=”false”]

E:\ebiznew>"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands
sethduuid System.vdi
UUID changed to: 5dbdd6e3-c8ff-431d-bdd8-edf31c3012fb

E:\ebiznew>"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands
sethduuid ebs1211db.vdi
UUID changed to: 05068998-dc4d-46ef-8f8f-1ae07b786bfa
[/code]

Now start creating a new VM using VirtualBox and attach System.vdi and ebs1211db.vdi under SATA

As we have changed the kernel to NON Xen, you should able to boot up the VM immediately

Once logged in as “root”, let us drop the existing E-BIZ/* folders for cloning purpose

As root

[sourcecode language="bash"]
#cd /u01

#rm -rf *

[/sourcecode]

Sit back, it will take a while for the system to delete the folders and contents

Once the folders and file are deleted create a new folder called “backup” within /u01

[sourcecode language="bash"]
#mkdir backup
[/sourcecode]

Change the hostname, IP address etc for the new VM

Make sure from your HOST box you can ping the new VM by both hostname and IP address

*Special note: If you have a total of 8GB(only) memory with your box, you have to change the memory allocations for both your VMs (one which already has the Vision instance configured & the new VM on which you are going to execute the cloning) to 2GB each

Boot up you VM with Vision instance configured and running (Aka source system)

Edit /etc/hosts file and add the IP address and hostname of your new VM

As root

vi /etc/hosts

192.168.0.50 ebs1213.rhome.com ebs1213

Where ebs1213 is the new hostname you have set for the new VM. Adjust it according to the name you have chosen

Save and exit the vi editor and try to ping the new VM from your source VM

ping ebs1213.rhome.com

Make sure you are getting ping replies from the new VM

Start dbTier and appsTier sequentially and make sure that you can access the application

Step #2

Now we are all set to “try” our first cloning process

Prior cloning we MUST prepare the source system for cloning. Hence switch user to “oracle” and switch to following folder (Adjust the path according to your environment)

cd /u01/E-BIZ/db/tech_st/11.2.0.2/appsutil/scripts/VIS_appvis

$perl adpreclone.pl dbTier

(provide the apps password when it is promoted)

The pre-clone should complete within few minutes time, and if there are no errors (in our case), we can proceed to prepare the application tier now

As user “Oracle” switch to

/u01/E-BIZ/inst/apps/VIS_appvis/admin/scripts

$perl adpreclone.pl appsTier

(provide the apps password when it is promoted)

Let the pre-clone procedure complete.

Once the pre-clone procedure has been completed, shutdown the application tier and database tier sequentially

Check for FNDLIBR processes, until the count reaches two(2)

$ps –ef | grep FNDLIBR | wc –l

Now we have to copy the database and application tier folders to our target VM. For our exercise we will create individual tar.gz files for both database and application folders

We will create a new folder with /u01 on the source system

As root

[sourcecode language="text"]
#cd /u01

#mkdir backup

#cd backup

# time tar -zcvf db.tar.gz /u01/E-BIZ/db/*

This will create a new tar ball with the name “db.tar.gz” inside /u01/backup folder

Sit back and relax, it is going to take some time

Once the tar process finishes, we will attempt to create a tar ball for the application tier

#time tar -zcvf apps.tar.gz /u01/E-BIZ/apps/apps_st/*

The entire tar processes may take more than couple of hours time (Depending upon the resources you have allocated for the source VM)
[/sourcecode]

Now we will copy the tar files created to our target system using SCP

As root, from /u01/backup folder

#scp –pr db.tar.gz root@ebs1213:/u01/backup

You will be given a warning, accept the prompt. After that, you will be asked to enter the root password for your target machine, in our case “ebs1213”

If your vision instance is fresh without much data added after it was put online, the tar ball will be something less than 30GB, and the transfer should complete within 16-20 minutes time

Once the database tar ball transferred you can proceed with transferring your application tar bar

#scp –pr apps.tar.gz root@ebs1213:/u01/backup

Amount of time required will vary depending upon the resources available. Wait until the transfer completes

Now you can shutdown your source system (So that you can release the memory/processors allocated and increase them with your new VM on which we will continue with the cloning process)

Shutdown your new VM (Target system)

Make changes to your new VM with more memory, processors etc

Boot up the new VM and logon to the VM as root

Step #3

We are going to MIMIC a production instance with our new VM (Please note, do not attempt to violate Oracle’s licensing agreements, our intention is not to help you with doing something which is against Oracle’s licensing terms and Vision instance usage)

We will create two new users and add them to existing oinstall and dba groups

As root

Now switch to /u01 folder (or other mount point as you have created it)

We will create a number of folders, which will be entirely different from the Vision Instance structure

[sourcecode language="bash"]
#mkdir oraprod

#cd oraprod

#mkdir PROD

#cd PROD

#mkdir db

#cd /u01

#mkdir applprod

#cd applprod

#mkdir PROD

#cd PROD

#mkdir apps

[/sourcecode]

Now we will change the ownership & permissions for /u01/oraprod & /u01/applprod

As root

[sourcecode language="bash"]
chown -R oraprod:dba /u01/oraprod

chmod -R 777 /u01/oraprod

chown -R oraprod:dba /u01/applprod

chmod -R 777 /u01/applprod

[/sourcecode]

Now we will extract the tar balls to appropriate folders

#cd /u01/oraprod/PROD/db

#time tar –zxvf /u01/backup/db.tar.gz

Approximately the extraction process will take around 3 hours for the database tar ball and around one hour for the application tar ball

Once the database tar ball extracted, we will start extracting the application tar ball

cd /u01/applprod/PROD/apps

time tar –zxvf /u01/backup/apps.tar.gz

Now we can start the actual cloning process

Step #4 Cloning the database tier
