Question

Hi,
We are using,
EBS : R12.1.1
OS : OEL 5.6
When i tried to start Application tier services got following error message,
XML-20108: (Fatal Error) start of root element expected.
The logfilefor this session is located at $INST_TOP/logs/appl/admin/log/adstrtal.log
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

# DESCRIPTION
# Application Object Library developer's environment setup
# This script is automatically called by fndenv.env so that
# you can compile and link custom user exits (SQL*Forms and
# SQL*ReportWriter) and concurrent programs with Oracle
# Applications.
# NOTES
# Now we provide compilation flags compatible with the Makefile
# in the $FND_TOP/usrxit directory.
#     Changed $(ORACLE_HOME)/proc16/lib to $(ORACLE_HOME)/sqllib/public
#      for 7.1 changes. -- JCM 7/13/94
#     $(ORACLE_HOME)/sqllib/public to $(ORACLE_HOME)/precomp/public
#     and $(ORACLE_HOME)/bin/proc16 to $(ORACLE_HOME)/bin/proc
#          -- gling 1/21/97
#=====================================================================*/
# First we set all compilation flags from the Makefile for generic Unix.
# Then we correct the generic settings based on the PLATFORM environment
# variable set in the AutoInstall Environment file.

# The following are special environment variables designed to allow Oracle
# Applications customers to link 3rd-party software into documented interface
# points in Oracle Applications C code.
# For each product listed below, there are two environment variables defined.
# One is of the form: VND<PROD>SL
# and the other is of the form: VND<PROD>PL
# where <PROD> is replaced by the abbreviation for a specific product,
# VND stands for Vendor (3rd-party vendor),
# SL stands for Shared Libraries,
# and PL stands for Private Libraries.
# For example: VNDARSL, VNDARPL, VNDPAYSL, VNDPAYPL
# Each Vendor Libraries variable defined below should be set to '' if you are
# not linking in any 3rd-party software. If you are linking 3rd-party
# software into a specific product, you must change the Vendor Libraries
# variables for that product.
# If you are linking in 3rd-party software, VND<PROD>SL and VND<PROD>PL
# should be set to include: 1) the 3rd-party interface object modules, and
# 2) the 3rd-party libraries (in that order).
# For example:
# VNDPAYSL='$(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3c.o $(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3v.o $(VND_LINK)'
# VNDPAYPL='$(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3c.o $(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3v.o $(VND_LINK)'
# Notes on setting the Vendor Libraries variables:
# 1) You must enclose the value you assign to each vendor libraries variable
# in single quotes as in the example above.
# The right way to specify a value for a vendor libraries variable:
# VNDPAYPL='$(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3c.o $(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3v.o $(VND_LINK)'
# The wrong way to specify a value for a vendor libraries variable:
# VNDPAYPL="$(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3c.o $(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3v.o $(VND_LINK)"
# 2) You must enclose all environment variable references in parentheses, as
# in the example above.
# The right way to reference an environment variable:
# $(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3c.o
# The wrong way to reference an environment variable:
# $PAY_TOP/lib/py3c.o
# 3) Any user-defined environment variables (like VND_LINK in the example
# above) must be set and exported in this file. There is a special
# section for this purpose below.
# Example:
# Needed when linking in 3rd Party Software
# VND_VERTEX='$(PAY_TOP)/vendor/quantum'
# VND_LINK='$(VND_VERTEX)/lib/libvprt.a \
# $(VND_VERTEX)/lib/libqutil.a \
# $(VND_VERTEX)/lib/libloc.a \
# $(VND_VERTEX)/lib/libcb63.a'
# VNDPAYSL='$(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3c.o $(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3v.o $(VND_LINK)'
# VNDPAYPL='$(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3c.o $(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3v.o $(VND_LINK)'
# export VND_VERTEX VND_LINK VNDPAYPL VNDPAYSL
# Needed when APPLPAYLINK!=cob
# VNDPAYSL=''
# VNDPAYPL=''
# export VNDPAYPL VNDPAYSL
# 4) Any user-defined environment variables (like VND_LINK in the example
# above) must begin with 'VND_', or the Oracle Applications Relinking
# Utility (adrelink) will remove them from the linking environment.
# Note: COBDIR is an exception to this rule.
# The right way to name a user-defined environment variable:
# VND_LINK
# The wrong way to name a user-defined environment variable:
# VENDOR_LIBS
# 5) You do not need to include the product library for the Oracle
# Applications product into which you are linking your 3rd-party libraries
# in the value you assign to each vendor libraries variable.
# All you need is:
# VNDPAYPL='$(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3c.o $(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3v.o $(VND_LINK)'
# You don't need:
# VNDPAYPL='$(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3c.o $(PAY_TOP)/lib/py3v.o $(VND_LINK) $(LPAYLIB)'
# End of notes on setting the Vendor Libraries variables
# In general, you should set VND<PROD>SL and VND<PROD>PL to have the same
# value. If you need to set them to different values for a given product,
# this will be stated below or stated in the documentation that comes with
# the product in question.
# If there are no Vendor Libraries variables listed below for a given product,
# that means the product in question does not have any documented interface
# points for linking in 3rd-party software.
# Please enter user-defined environment variables between this
# comment section and the next comment section.
# End section for user-defined environment variables
# Vendor Libraries variables for Oracle Receivables (AR)
VNDARSL=''
VNDARPL=''
export VNDARSL VNDARPL
# Vendor Libraries variables for Oracle Payroll (PAY)
VNDPAYSL=''
VNDPAYPL=''
export VNDPAYSL VNDPAYPL
# End of Vendor Libraries variables list
