Concurrent Manager Status Shows 'System Hold Fix Manager before resetting counters'

Concurrent Manager Status Shows 'System Hold Fix Manager before resetting counters' 

User complained his program is not running and shows No Manager. You checked and Standard Manager seems to be down.

You ran adcmctl.sh and it show status could not be found.

What to do ??

Do the following-

1. Stop all middle tier services including the concurrent managers.
    Please make sure that no FNDLIBR, FNDSM, or any dead process is running.

2. Stop the database.

3. Start the database.

4. cd $FND_TOP/bin
$ adrelink.sh force=y "fnd FNDLIBR"
$ adrelink.sh force=y "fnd FNDFS"
$ adrelink.sh force=y "fnd FNDCRM"
$ adrelink.sh force=y "fnd FNDSM"

5. Run the CMCLEAN.SQL script from the referenced note below (don't forget to commit). Article- ID : 134007.1
Title: CMCLEAN.SQL - Non Destructive Script to Clean Concurrent Manager Tables

6. Execute the following SQL:
    select CONCURRENT_QUEUE_NAME from FND_CONCURRENT_QUEUES where
    CONCURRENT_QUEUE_NAME like 'FNDSM%';
7. Start the middle tier services including your concurrent manager.

8. Retest the issue.

Expire All FND_USER Passwords?


“Expire all FND_USER passwords”
This is available starting in RUP4. Requires Patch 4676589 ATG RUP 4.
The script to expire all passwords in the fnd_user table is $FND_TOP/sql/AFCPEXPIRE.sql.  It can be executed from SQL*Plus or as a Concurrent Program:
sqlplus -s APPS/<pwd> @AFCPEXPIRE.sql
or
Submit concurrent request: CP SQL*Plus Expire FND_USER Passwords
This script sets the fnd_user.password_date to null for all users which causes all user passwords to expire. It can also be run as a SQL*Plus concurrent program. The user will need to create a new password upon the next login.

 

FND_USER script

Purpose-

Can be used to create an FND_USER for any developer that joins the team

This simple script will set all the desired admin responsibilities and all common profile options for a given FND_USER.
Salient features of this simple script are
1. If a user is inactive, that FND_USER will be re-activated
2. If any of their Sysadmin or WF Admin or Application Developer or Functional Admin responsibilities are inactive, those responsibilities will be re-activated
3. Add commonly used responsibilities will be assigned to the user
3. Personalization, Diagnostic and Utilities profile options will be assigned to this user.
4. Password expiration will be removed from the FND_USER

In a nutshell, use this script to enable a user and to enable all their administrator responsibilities.
This script can be run as many times for any given user.
In case a user does not exist, then new user will be created with default password being oracle123

Using Lightweight MLS With Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3


There was a requirement where we had to store the item's descriptions in 5 languages(Countries of business for us). This was only required for reporting purposes. It was not required to have forms and self service pages in other languages.

Here the feature of Lightweight MLS came in very handy. Its introduced in 12.1.3

What it does- IT ENABLES ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES WITHOUT THE NEED TO APPLY THE NLS PATCH

Steps to enable MLS-

1. From OAM go to License Manager and activate the desired language
2. From AD Admin -Choose 'Maintain Application Database Entities' option and then the 'Maintain Multi-Lingual Tables' task
3. Run the message synchronization script-$FND_TOP/patch/115/sql/AFMSGSYNC.sql

$ sqlplus apps/apps @AFMSGSYNC.sql

NOTE: This script synchronizes the language data in FND_NEW_MESSAGES table
    with the base language data.

    Press RETURN to continue.

    Currently, following languages are installed:

    CODE NAME                     STATUS
    ---- ------------------------ ------------
    US   American English         Base
    D    German                   Install
    FRC  Canadian French          Install

    Please choose Oracle Language code from the installed languages.
    For example JA for Japanese. This language data will be synchronized
    with the base language data.

    Language Code: D

    You chose Spanish (D).
    Is this correct language to synchronize [Yes] ?

    Reading FND_NEW_MESSAGES table to see if language data exists.

    No Spanish language data exists in FND_NEW_MESSAGES table.

    Base language data will be copied to this language. Do you wish to proceed [No] ? Yes

    Synchronization is in progress...

    Synchronization has been done.
    Please do a 'commit' if changes are OK. Otherwise, do a 'rollback'.

    SQL> commit;

    Commit complete. 

Bounce the application tier services and we have light weight MLS enabled
