The latest RUPs while writing this post are R12.AD.C.Delta.10 (Patch 25820806) and R12.TXK.C.Delta.10 (Patch 25828573).

Apply Required Database Patches

 
AD-TXK Delta 10 requires a number of database bug fixes to install and operate correctly.
 
NOTE: Take Central Inventory backups on the database and application tiers.
 
Before you apply the AD and TXK Delta 10 release update packs (RUPs), you must run the latest version (available via Patch 17537119) of the EBS Technology Codelevel Checker (ETCC). Use the command checkDBpatch.sh (on UNIX) or checkDBpatch.cmd (on Windows).

Check the OPatch utility version.

/u01/oracle/product/dbhome1/OPatch/opatch version
OPatch Version: 11.2.0.3.16

OPatch succeeded.

Upgrade to the latest OPatch Utility.

[oracle@ebsdb01 OPatch]$ ./opatch version
OPatch Version: 11.2.0.3.18

Error:

/u02/oracle/ERPPROD/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier/ohs/bin/apachectl startssl: execing httpd
 
Killedworker: Syntax error on line 1039 of /u02/oracle/ERPPROD/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier/instances/EBS_web_ERPPROD_OHS1/config/OHS/EBS_web_ERPPROD/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 115 of /u02/oracle/EBS_web_ERPPROD_OHS1/config/OHS/EBS_web_ERPPROD/ssl.conf: Could not open configuration file

/u02/oracle/ERPPROD/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier/instances/EBS_web_ERPPROD_OHS1/OHS/EBS_web_ERPPROD/oracle_apache_ssl.conf: No such file or directory


Cause:

In the runfilesystem xml file the value of variable s_ohs_installed is set to False.
This will stop the configuration file from getting generated.

Hence the file oracle_apache_ssl.conf was not created and the services are not starting.


[applprod@erpapp01 ~]$ grep -i s_ohs_installed $CONTEXT_FILE
false

Symptoms:

Concurrent request logfiles have the below error:

REP-0004: Warning: Unable to open user preference file

The prefs.ora is either missing or non-accessible.

Solution:

1. No prefs.ora file in HOME directory:

Oracle Reports will look into the user's HOME directory for the prefs.ora preferences file.  If a prefs.ora file does not exist in your HOME directory, you can copy the prefs.ora file that came with the Oracle Tools.
