This base patch contains files which may require translation
depending on the languages you currently have installed.

Oracle Corporation recommends that you obtain any translated versions of this
patch for each of your non-US languages after applying this base patch.

Do you wish to apply this patch now [No] ? No *

CAUSE

The adalldefaults.txt was providing default answer "No" during patch application.
 
As per the following output:

$APPL_TOP/admin/${TWO_TASK}/adalldefaults.txt


#
# Do you wish to continue with applying this patch even if there are
# translated version of the same patch pending to be applied ?
#

## Start of Defaults Record
 %%START_OF_TOKEN%%
  MISSING_TRANSLATED_VERSION
 %%END_OF_TOKEN%%

 %%START_OF_VALUE%%
No
 %%END_OF_VALUE%%
## End of Defaults Record
 

SOLUTION


1. Please change the: $APPL_TOP/admin/${TWO_TASK}/adalldefaults.txt:

FROM:
#
# Do you wish to continue with applying this patch even if there are
# translated version of the same patch pending to be applied ?
#

## Start of Defaults Record
 %%START_OF_TOKEN%%
  MISSING_TRANSLATED_VERSION
 %%END_OF_TOKEN%%

 %%START_OF_VALUE%%
No
 %%END_OF_VALUE%%
## End of Defaults Record

TO:
#
# Do you wish to continue with applying this patch even if there are
# translated version of the same patch pending to be applied ?
#

## Start of Defaults Record
 %%START_OF_TOKEN%%
  MISSING_TRANSLATED_VERSION
 %%END_OF_TOKEN%%

 %%START_OF_VALUE%%
Yes
 %%END_OF_VALUE%%
## End of Defaults Record

2. Re-run the patch application and verify it completes successfully.

SOLUTION:


1. Edit both staging files for database:

 - Oracle RDBMS

location: <stage_area>/TechInstallMedia/database/database/stage/cvu/cvu_prereq.xml

 - Oracle Examples

location:<stage_area>/TechInstallMedia/database/examples/stage/cvu/cvu_prereq.xml

2. Modify the value of kernel value in prerequisites check file from 2.6.39 to 2.6.32 and save.

3. Retry the installation.

Apache HTTP_Server - Failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit Log (HTTP_Server~1)

Oracle HTTP Server, residing on a Unix platform, fails to start using OPMN. For example, OPMN reports the generic error

opmnctl startall
opmnctl: starting opmn and all managed processes...
================================================================================
opmn id=oradb:6200
0 of 1 processes started.

ias-instance id=infra.oracle.com
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ias-component/process-type/process-set:
HTTP_Server/HTTP_Server/HTTP_Server

Error
--> Process (pid=24042)
Failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit Log::
/opt/oracle/infra/opmn/logs/HTTP_Server~1

The HTTP_Server~1 OPMN log file just reports that the HTTP Server has been started, but there are actually no httpd processes present on the system.

There is also nothing written to the $ORACLE_HOME/apache/apache/logs directory even when HTTP Server logLevel is set to debug.

Furthermore there are no core / segmentation fault files created.

In order for the HTTP Server to listen on ports < 1024 e.g 80 and 443 the ownership and permissions of the Oracle HTTP Server binary - '.apachectl' - have been changed as follows:

One possible work-around is to change .apachectl to belong to another group - such as the generic one users (rather than have the file belong to the oracle group - typically called 'oinstall') e.g

Solution:

chown root:users .apachectl
chmod 6750 .apachectl

ORA-28367: wallet does not exist When Opening TDE Wallet


SYMPTOMS

On 11gR1 or 11gR2, when executing "ALTER SYSTEM SET WALLET OPEN IDENTIFIED BY <password>", the following error is observed:


ORA-28367: wallet does not exist
 (On 12c, the "ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT" commands are used instead.)

CAUSE

In the sqlnet.ora, ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION is formatted incorrectly.  Specifically, there is no indentation; the entry had multiple lines, but no whitespace.  For example:

ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION=
(SOURCE=
(METHOD=FILE)
(METHOD_DATA=
(DIRECTORY=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/network/admin)))


SOLUTION

Modify the sqlnet.ora so that everything is either on one line, or use indentation (whitespace) as follows:

ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION=
   (SOURCE=
   (METHOD=FILE)
   (METHOD_DATA=
   (DIRECTORY=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/network/admin)))

Export Database Takes Time in 12cR1 (12.1.0.2) - Oracle E-Business Suite Objects

Export Database (expdp) of Oracle E-Business Suite R12.2 takes time while doing Full Table Scan

Solution:


Collect Dictionary Statistics: 

SQL> connect / as sysdba
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_dictionary_stats;
SQL> exec dbms_stats.lock_table_stats (null,'X$KCCLH');
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_fixed_objects_stats;


Configure stream_pool_size, e.g. set streams_pool_size to a minimum of 256M.
Note that depending on the size of the database and the number of partitions, this value could be greater

For 12.1.0.2 apply the following patch: 


Patch 21554480
This is an merge generic patch available on top of the 12.1.0.2 for 18793246, 20236523, 20548904, 21128593

To obtain a patch from MOS:
1) Click on Patches.
2) Click on Simple Search
3) Enter patch number: 21554480
4) Select yourO/S
5) Click Go.

Try exporting the same database after executing the above steps. The performance will be better than earlier.
