FNDFS Listener not starting after patching

Question

12.1.3
redhat 4.8
DB 11.2.0.1
We recently did patching on our R12 system. The system is online, however the concurrent managers are not working due to the APPS_NPCP listener not starting. When attempting to start FNDFS this is the error we get. This was a working system prior to applying the patches. I can provide a list of patches if needed. There were just under 30 of them I believe. The majority of them were in doc # 437878.1
[applnpcp@ahdsedstws16 apps_backup]$ adalnctl.sh start
adalnctl.sh version 120.3
Checking for FNDFS executable.
Starting listener process APPS_NPCP.

Nothing really should have changed in the context file or in how the tnsnames.ora is generated, looking at the file it appears correct. What else can I check as to why this won't start anymore?

Answer 1

Where the patches applied to the correct ORACLE_HOME?
Have you verified the contents of listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file under $TNS_ADMIN directory? Running AutoConfig should usually fix those files (assuming it completes successfully and you have proper entry in the /etc/hosts file and your FND_NODES table entries are correct).
How to get a clean Autoconfig Environment ? (Doc ID 391406.1)
