I will be presenting some solutions for oacore not coming up in R12 EBS version.
What is OACORE
First, let me give a brief idea about the oacore mechanism in R12
In R12 we have 3 groups of OC4J’s.
oacore OC4J – Supports framework-based applications
forms OC4J – Supports forms-based applications
oafm OC4J – expands to Oracle Application Fusion Middleware – for map viewer, web services, ascontrol
R12 OC4J processes are managed by OPMN(Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server). OPMN consists of two main components (Oracle Process Manager) and (Oracle Notification Server).
Oracle Process Manager is responsible for
(1) starting
(2) stopping
(3) restarting
(4) monitoring the services it manages (this includes death detection and automatic restart of the process)
Oracle Notification Server is the transport mechanism for failure, recovery, startup, and other related notifications between components in AS.
A single configuration file(opmn.xml) is used by OPMN to manage the services. The config file location is given as $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3/opmn/conf/opmn.xml
What algorithm does OPMN use to detect the death?
(1) The OS process is checked by OPMN every 2 seconds.
(2) forward ping: periodically OPMN pings the process every 20 seconds and expects a response
(3) reverse ping: every 20 seconds managed process sends OPMN a ping notification
Now let’s see the resolution for the problem of not starting Up
Various errors could be for oacore not coming up
adoacorectl.sh - ERROR : Timed out( 100000 ): Interrupted Exception adoacorectl.sh: exiting with status 204 & exiting with status 150 adoafmctl.sh: exiting with status 152
Reason for oacore not coming up
There could be various reasons for the problem
a) IP address change
b) resource bottleneck
Solution for oacore not coming up
We can resolve this problem by following these steps. Sometimes times first step may resolve the issues and sometimes you need to perform more than 1 step
(1) Clear the persistence directory
Stop all the opmn services $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adopmnctl.sh stopall rm $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oacore/persistence/oacore_default_group_1/* rm $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/forms/persistence/forms_default_group_1/* rm $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oafm/persistence/oafm_default_group_1/* $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adopmnctl.sh startall $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adalnctl.sh start
(2) Change the timeout settings
The timeout value is defined in the $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3/opmn/conf/opmn.xml file There are three entries to be concerned about, one for each of the managed OC4J containers (oacore, forms and oafm).
Default entry is
<start timeout=”600″ retry=”2″/>
Modifying the timeout value from “600” to “1800” may resolve the timeout error. You can only set it for the entry “process-type id=”oacore””
or all entries giving timeout errors
changed to <start timeout=”1800″ retry=”2″/>
Steps would be
a) Stop all the opmn services $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adopmnctl.sh stopall b) Take backup of the $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3/opmn/conf/opmn.xml and change the timeout setting c) $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adopmnctl.sh startall
(3) Run Autoconfig on the apps nodes
Steps would be
(a)Stop all the opmn services $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adopmnctl.sh stopall (b) Run autoconfig (c)Start all the services $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adopmnctl.sh startall
(4) Compile all the jsp files
(a) Stop all the opmn services $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adopmnctl.sh stopall (b) cd $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin ./ojspCompile.pl --compile --flush -p 2 logfile set: /abc/oracle/TECH/inst/apps/TECH_LINUX/logs/appl/rgf/ojsp/ojspc_error.log starting...(compiling all) using 10i internal ojsp ver: 10 synchronizing dependency file: enumerating jsps...8000 parsing jsp...8000 writing deplist...8000 initializing compilation: eliminating children...5912 (-2088) translating and compiling: translating jsps...5912/5912 in 1m40s compiling jsps...5912/5912 in 4m19s Finished! (c) $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adopmnctl.sh startall
oacore or oafm whichever is down should come by any of this method.
