Cannot log in to Mobile Manager after abnormal shutdown (issue & solution)

After an abnormal shutdown of database, an attempt to log in to Mobile Manager as Administrator fails with the error "Please verify your username, password and try again!"
I had a power outage in our office and our development server shut down abruptly as a result. When power was restored, the database, listener and GlassFish Server started up automatically (init.d and rc.d), but when I attempt to log in as Administrator using Mobile Manager, I get an error "Please verify your username, password and try again!". I did some research and after some trial and error, figured out that the services must be started in this order (this may not be guaranteed in automatic startup scripts?):
1. Oracle Listener
2. Oracle Database
3. Oracle GlassFish Server with Domain
If you are seeing this error, please try the following:
1. Shutdown Glassfish domain
./asadmin stop-domain <domain>
2. Shutdown Oracle database
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
3. Shutdown Listener
$ lsnrctl stop
and restart in this order
1. Oracle Listener
lsnrctl start
2. Oracle database
SQL> STARTUP
3. GlassFish domain
./asadmin start-domain <domain>
This should work!
My environment:
Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.4 with JDK 1.6
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition 11.1.0.1.0
Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1.2
Oracle Database Mobile Server 11.1.0 for 64-bit Linux

Hi mario,
FYI
This issue can occurs when the primary and secondary Cisco ISE nodes' database are out of sync. For out of sync issues, which most likely are due to time changes or NTP sync issues, you must correct the system time and perform a manual sync up through the UI.
•For certificate expiry issues, you must install a valid certificate and perform a manual sync up through the UI.
•For a node that has been down for more than six hours, you must restart the node, check for connectivity issues, and perform a manual sync up through the UI.
For more information regarding this issue, please go through this link:

Hyperion Planning application got abnormal shutdown

Hi,
Would need your help on the issue I recently hit in my environment.
Product version: 9.3.1.1.00
Product: Hyperion Planning
Unix Platform: Sun Solaries 64bit
Issue:-
The application received the Abnormal Shutdown command then the application got shutdown and then not starting up by itself after that.
Query:-
Is there anyway to set it to be started automatically even after abnormal shutdown?
Thanks.

Hi Sandeep,
The xcp files are in the application directory.
I've raised SR in Metalink but the support request me to change the Essbase.cfg on the NETRETRY and NETRETRYCOUNT from 5000 and 3000 respectively to 1000 each and also the SERVERTHREAD from 200 change to 100.
I've read from one of the reply in the forum saying that if the xcp files are in application directory then it does not really related to the Essbase.cfg unless it is from the server directory. So if in this case, should I still modify the config file?
Hi John,
Previously in Jan, it happended once where users are not able to retrieve the data from HyperionPlanning and also Workspace. So after that incident actually we did clear the data and reload the level-0 data. The system was OK (no more Abnormal Shutdown) for a while then came back with this issue again recently.
Anything can be apply in order to clear this problem?
Thanks.

Boot fsck from abnormal shutdown

Hi,
Since 2.6.31 my computer is unable to do a fsck when a abnormal shutdown occured (e.g. a powerout), and a second reboot is always needed because the system prompt me "give the root password or press CTRL-D to proceed" error. After pressing CTRL-D, the system reboots and do fsck at the second boot.
How can I restore to the mode that's been used before, which just do fsck automatically immediately once if an abnormal shutdown and a unclean filesystem is detected ?

This occured to me also, but I'm still using kernel 2.6.30.5
The problem seems to be elsewhere ...
At first I didn't thought this was a bug, but now that I read your post, maybe we should file a bug-report.

RECEIVED ABNORMAL SHUTDOWN COMMAND - APPLICATION TERMINATING

HI All,
We have an Planning application and when the user is trying to perform some activity and ti involves in running some calculation Scripts.
At point the application is going down and this is causing real mess.
There is no .xcp file created in the app folder. We are unable to find the root cause of the issue.
the following are the fixes we tried but gave us no result.
We tried to increase the Java Heep size
<variable id="ESS_CSS_JVM_OPTION8" value="-Xms512m"/>
<variable id="ESS_CSS_JVM_OPTION9" value="-Xmx1024m"/>
But the issue still exists.

Hi Mady,
Thanks for the reply.
We have increased the Heap size and restarted the services. But this issue still exists. And also restarted the entire system but the result is the same.
We are unable to find the root cause which is causing this issue.
Can any one suggest me....
Thanks in Advance.

Finalizers + abnormal shutdown

I have read some notes about this, but I want to be sure: Some people in this forum have written that on an abnormal shutdown of the VM, not all finalizers are called. I have some questions about it:
1. Is this true?
2. Is it an implementation bug, or allowed by the VM spec / JLS? I have found this in the JLS:
The Java programming language does not specify how soon a finalizer will be invoked, except to say that it will happen before the storage for the object is reused.
Since storage for the object will certainly be re-used after termination of the VM, finalizers must be called before shutdown according to the JLS, right? Any pointer to contrary information would be nice.
3. If finalizers are not guaranteed to be called, what is their use? The typical action of a finalizer would be to de-allocate some system resource (close a file or network connection, release the graphics or sound hardware, etc). No sane programmer would leave such important tasks to an unreliable mechanism. So if finalizers are unreliable, where are they useful?
Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "abnormal shutdown of the JVM"?I do not mean killing the VM process at the OS level. It's something that comes from "inside the VM". But I don't know what it is exactly, as I was only pointed in that direction by posts in this forum. System.exit? Exceptions? Don't know what.

Abnormal Shutdown in App when conducting training

Every time we conduct an Essbase Excel Add-In training class, the application that we are training in abnormally shuts down many times. The app does not appear to be corrupted and does not have problems outside of the class times. None of our other apps have problems during these times. Our classroom pc's are using network hubs and I'm guessing that these abnormal shutdowns have something to do with the fact that so many users are trying to touch the server/app at the same time going through the same network connection. The .xcp file appears to be almost identical every time. Below is an exerpt from the .xcp file:----- Exception Error Log Begin -----Current Date & Time: Thu Mar 20 13:11:41 2003Process Type: ApplicationApplication Name: SldfinDatabase Name: SldfinException Log File: D:\HYPERION\ESSBASE\app\Sldfin\Sldfin\log00012.xcpCurrent Thread Id: 514Exception Code: 0xC0000005=Access ViolationException Flags: 0x00000000=ContinuableException Address: 0x00523427Exception Parameters: 2Exception Parameter 0: 0x00000000=Read Violation Exception Parameter 1: 0x00000020 (Virtual Address)We have NETDELAY 5000 and NETRETRYCOUNT 1000 set in our essbase.cfg.

If so, is there any way to change the essbase.cfg or server o/s (Win NT) settings to avoid this problem?Thanks in advance.

When your sever is dead, there isn't anything there to run and all the connections are lost.
On the client side you will have to look for the disconnect, timeout, or some other exception so you know not to continue trying to connect to a dead server socket.

Why was the instances shutdown? Did they shutdown themselves, or were they simply killed? What does the kernel log say? What do the CRS and CSS logs say? Were there issues with the storage layer (what do you use as cluster storage layer)? Were there issues with the Interconnect (what do you use for the Interconnect)? Is ASM used? Etc. etc.
Why the manual start-up? Did this include restarting CRS or just the RAC instances? Or were the servers rebooted? What did the manual start-up entail?

later I give the create session privilage to all users With what privilge do you logged on yourself to grant privileges?
users cannot able to connect Which users cannot connect. Do you mean all users excluding sys?
If you start your database in restricted mode then users with restricted session privilege can only connect. Is this your case?

Abnormal shutdown of JVM cause server unreachable

Hi all,
My application is based on client-server and work fine in normal condition.When my server module shutdown abnormally (cause system shutdown or JVM abnormal termination)so my all clients hangs up due to server unreachable.
I have a method for normal shutdown of my server module that cause all client module logout properly.And it work only when I shutdown my server module by given control (Like stop server button).If there is any event that fire at the time when JVM is shutdown by using it I will run my properly shutdown method.
Thanks in advance

What startup command should be writen after abnormal shutdown?

Hi all
I have a 10g DB instance on Unix server.
The server was shutdown without first shutting down the DB and Listener.
Now when I started the server, should I type:
sqlplus: sys as sysdba
startup
in normal mode or nomount mode?
Is there anything else to be done after startup?
Please mention the reason!
Thank you

Well, yes all db files are autoextend
When I typed the command you gave, it showed AUTO YESGood.
But i'll have to work on making the size unlimited.Use this command:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '<FULL Path to Datafile>' AUTOEXTEND ON MAXSIZE UNLIMITED;Note: 468096.1 - How To Check For Autoextensible Datafiles Set To Maxsize Unlimited

Application got locked when power failure(abnormal shutdown)

hi all,,,
I am developing swings application where user needs to login by giving valid Uname and password(only one user at a time,multiple users not allowed) and im storing this data(Uname and pwd) and status(looged in/not) in xml,my app is working fine when we closed the application normally,for this i had written an event when clicked on close button(by using boolean).
My problem is when there is power failure/system crashes,the application is getting locked when user tries to login.
can any help me in this..wat can i do to solve this?

I found that problem
i hope your application will be running in a network drive and only one user can login at a time.
so u need to track the abrupt shutdown.

Runtime Error: abnormal shutdown of c:\program files\...\labview.exe

Okay. I've just upgraded to labview 8.0 last week and have been using it without error until the program hung when I opened it one day. To remedy the situation and after waiting a while, I "ctrl+alt+del"ed it and forcebly closed the application. From then on, the main lab view program will not function. I get a runtime error saying that the program (c:\program files\...\labview.exe) was shutdown adnormally and to consult with the software manufacturer. Other NI applications function without error (ie: Measurement and Automation Explorer, Previous versions of labview, etc).
I tried to reinstall the upgrade to no avail. Leason learned: ctrl+alt+del is evil. If you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate any input and I will relay the results. Thanks in advance.

Hi Wiztrek,
This does indeed sound like an odd error/situation. We'll do our best to get it sorted out for you though! A few questions for you:
1. What kind of computer is this? Laptop, server, desktop, etc?
2. What OS? Service Pack (if applicable)?
3. When does it happen? You mentioned the splash screen -- is that as far as it gets?
Something you could try (and this is a shot in the dark) is to rename or delete the LabVIEW.ini file (it's in the same directory as LabVIEW.exe). If that doesn't work, I think a reinstall is best to try to fix it. Remove LabVIEW 8.0 from your computer via Add/Remove Programs. Then completely delete the "LabVIEW 8.0" folder from "Program Files/National Instruments" on your harddrive.
When you run the installer again (after rebooting of course), make note of any errors you receive (if any). Try following the steps outlined in this KnowledgeBase -- we might get something useful out of the install log:
How Do I Generate an Error Log File for a Software Installation?
I hope this helps shed some light on the issue - let us know what you find out!

SBO Abnormal Shutdown Handling

Is there a method to exit an add-on if SBO does not shut down properly? The scenario is this: A user launches SBO with an active add-on successfully. A few minutes later SBO locks up, crashes, and exits abnormally without triggering the aet_ServerTerminition or aet_ShutDown events. This leaves the add-on's process running in the background and unless the user knows to terminate it through the task manager, the add-on fails the next time SBO is launched because it is already in memory. Has anyone experienced this and developed a work around?

I came up with a solution for this on my own, though I'm not sure its the most efficient way to go about it. Below is the code for a VB.NET class file that operates off a timer. You can add this class to your project and while your add-on is running it will perform a process check every 15 seconds to see if Business One is NOT running while your add-on IS running. If this is true, it kills the process for your add-on.
Imports System.Diagnostics.Process
Friend Class ProcessCheck
    Private WithEvents tmrCheck As Timer
    Sub New()
       'start the timer
        tmrCheck = New Timer
        tmrCheck.Interval = 15000
        tmrCheck.Enabled = True
        tmrCheck.Start()
    End Sub
    Private Sub tmrCheck_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tmrCheck.Tick
        Dim p As Process
        Dim SBO As Boolean
        Dim ProcessToKill As Boolean
       'set boolean switches for each process you want to check
        For Each p In p.GetProcesses
            Select Case p.ProcessName
                Case "SAP Business One"
                    SBO = True
                Case "ARAP5"
                    ProcessToKill = True
            End Select
        Next
        'kill your add-on's process if SBO is not running
        If SBO = False And ProcessToKill = True Then
            MsgBox("Business One exited abnormally. The AR/AP Comparison add-on (ARAP5.exe) is now being shut down.", MsgBoxStyle.Critical)
            For Each p In p.GetProcesses
                Select Case p.ProcessName
                    Case "ARAP5"
                        p.Kill()
                End Select
            Next
        End If
    End Sub
End Class
