Patch 3480000 install - Failed worker because of GL locking

I am in the process of installing Patch 3480000 (11.5.10.2) and during the running workers fail on sql scripts under the GL schema. Checking the log they are failing because the account is locked(timed), however if I unlock it and run again it locks the account again.
All the other ones have been running as they should (I have had to reset a couple from EXPIRED(GRACE) to proceed however). Is the password saved incorrectly somewhere? If I change it does that hose things up for everything else or is there something else I can check for this?
(glxlatxd.sql & glqtposd.sql are the two failing if it matters)
Thanks

If I drop the sequence and create it again with the higher values as they are trying to alter it to, I assume that would fix it however I also assume that it would mess up some number or something somewhere in the program which is of course bad.
I have continued to search metalink and the internet and can not find anything relating to oracle patches and that error or that error and oracle app sever in general.
I have logged an SR with Oracle but any advice that you (or anyone) have would be appreciated.
This is the more complete error text

  • Flashplayer install not working because of password

    I have a mac and I have repeatedly tried to download the latest version of Flashplayer. It works until I get to the last step and a box pops up asking for my password in order to complete the installation. I type in my password that I use on my Adobe account to sign in and it doesn't work. I have even changed my password and it still doesn't work. What's the issue????

    Hi,
    You have to use the corresponding conversion exit (given in the Domain definition) fm to convert your dynpro field value with leading zeros.
    For example, if the conversion exit is ALPHA then
    you can use fm CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT.
    Pass your dynpro field value as input and take it back as output.
    OR
    You can also use UNPACK if it contains only numbers,
      IF v_num CO '0123456789 '. 
        UNPACK v_num TO v_num.
      ENDIF.
      replace v_num with your dynpro field..
      Now you can use it in your select statements..
      Hope this helps..
    Please assign points and close the post if this is useful.
    Thanks,

  • ACR 8.4 CC RC install fails with AAM message 'patch not applicable'

    ACR 8.4 CC RC install fails with AAM message 'patch not applicable' - Running Photoshop CC on OSX 10.7.5
    Anyone seen this or have any ideas for a fix?
    I also have my legacy CS6 installed on the same Mac - tried installing ACR 8.4 CS6 RC and that fails with the same dialogue box from AAM
    The DNG converter installs no issue.
    Thx
    Chris.

    Do you have some other software, like Photoshop Elements 12 on your system that would generally also be compatible with ACR 8.4 final but isn’t compatible with the RC because the RC’s only for PS users? 
    I installed the RC the same day it was released on my computer that has PS-CS6 & PS-CC with Windows 7 and it worked ok, so the update generally works, but something isn’t on your systems.
    Are you up-to-date with your PS-CC version, which seems to be 14.2.1:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2014/02/photoshop-cc-14-1-1-update-now-available.html
    And is CS6 updated to 13.0.6?

  • Problem: installing Recommend Patch Cluster: patch 140900-10 fails

    I don't know if this is correct location for this thread (admin/moderator move as required).
    We have a number of Solaris x86 hosts (ie 4) and I'm trying to get the patched and up to date.
    I obtained the latest Recommended Patch Cluster (dated 28Sep2010).
    I installed it on host A yesterday, 2 hours 9 mins, no problems.
    I tried to install it on host B today, and that was just a critical failure.
    Host B failed to install 140900-01, because the non global zones rejected the patch because dependancy 138218-01 wasn't installed in the non global zones.
    Looking closer, it appears that 138218-01 is for global zone installation only; so it makes sense that the non global zones rejected it.
    However, both hosts were in single user mode when installing the cluster and both hosts have non global zones.
    140900-01 installed on host A with log:
    | This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
    | version of a package which is already installed. This installation
    | will attempt to overwrite this package.

    It looks as if the patch strategy is completely different for the two hosts; both are solaris x86 (A is a V40z; B is a V20z).
    Trying to use "-G" with patchadd crabs the patch is for global zones only and stops (ie it's almost as if it thinks installation is being attempted in a non global zone).
    Without "-G" same behavior as patch cluster install attempt (no surprise there).
    I have inherited this machines; I am told each of these machines were upgraded to Solaris 10u6 in June 2009.
    Other than the 4-5 months it took oracle to get our update entitlement to us, we've had no problems.
    I'm at a loss here, I don't see anyone else having this type of issue.
    Can someone point the way...?
    What am I missing...?

    Well, I guess what you see isn't what you get.
    Guess I'm used to the fact USENET just left things formatted the way they were :-O

  • How do I continue failed patch 6678700 when it quits because of another pat

    Hello EBS Gurus:
    I am in the process of upgrading EBS 11.5.10.2 to 12i using document Part No. E16342-03, Note 761570.1& Note 881505.1.
    On Part No. E16342-03, I am at Step 10 3:10. Run the American English upgrade patch driver (required), after attempting to resolve a "FAILED: file fem_bal_nacc_hier_l2_mv.xdf on worker 1" as per doc ID 1284055.1, and upon restarting Patch 6678700, all workers quit and adpatch exited after running for over 30 hours.
    An attempt to restart "adpatch options=nocopyportion,nogenerateportion" keeps failing as adpatch keeps giving the errors (This patch cannot be applied to your current release.) I had when I ran patch 10406817.
    How do I run adpatch so that it continues with patch 6678700 - where it failed? I am running out of time to start this long patch from the beginning?
    How long could usually take on an averagely fast server, to install this patch?
    Thanks

    As per the doc, you should have skipped the failed worker and continue with the upgrade patch then apply the patch in the doc.

    How do I run adpatch so that it continues with patch 6678700 - where it failed? I am running out of time to start this long patch from the beginning?It is too late now to continue with the previous failed session if you have already applied the other patch mentioned in your doc.
    How long could usually take on an averagely fast server, to install this patch?Depends on your hardware resources, but adpatch should be smart enough to skip all the steps/tasks/jobs which were already completed.

    All of these are old and show CF working just fine. Do you
    have any
    errors from the time CF stopped working? Is there anything in
    the event
    viewer? When you say "stop working", do you mean fails to
    start, throws
    errors, silently fails? How have you configured CF?
    Multiserver? Single
    server? Does CF still work through the built-in webserver?
    Can you start
    CF from the command line jrun?

  • When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • I get an "install failed" message. "Recovery system can't be created-click restart to return to previous version of OS X." This doesn't work. My Mac continues to try to install Mountain Lion. What is the elegant way to get my system back?

    The first time I attempted to install ML was on a late 2011 MBP.  It ran for three minutes then gave me the error message: Could not install OSX due to an unexpected error.  I was using the original ML install app, not a USB or other drive.  
    After a couple of restarts wiht the same result I saw a message to the effect that the install was trying to close open apps.  I closed apps  manually a few times to no avail.  I shut down instead of restarting then booted into Safe mode (hold down the shift key when starting) and that did it.  The install went smoothly after that. 
    I since installed ML in two iMacs using a cloned copy of the install app on a USB drive.  This time I shut down the computers and booted into Safe Mode first and there were no problems. 
    I don't know if this issue is the one causing you these problems but it is a simple enough solution to try.
