R12 Vision on OEL - Firewall issues

Hi all
I have installed R12.1.1 Vision on OEL 5u4. Everything works as expected apart from one small problem.
If I enable the firewall on OEL, I cannot connect to the eBS home page, port 8000 is obviously being blocked.
Is there a set up doc somewhere on configuring the firewall?
Thanks

Hi;

Is there a set up doc somewhere on configuring the firewall?Try to check below notes:
From installation guide:
By default, Release 12 supports Forms 10g in servlet mode, which facilitates use of firewalls, load balancing, proxies, and other networking options. The use of socket mode is also supported, however, and can be enabled by following the instructions in Oracle MetaLink Note 384241.1, Using Forms Socket Mode in Oracle Applications Release 12.

Weird issue occurring after cloning the R12 Vision instance.

Hi everyone,
We are currently evaluating R12 using the Vision DB instance. Since I'm seeing that the apps processes like to have at least 2gb of memory, the initial server just isn't beefy enough for R12 so I cloned it over to a better server following metalink Note:406982.1 (Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone)
There were various cloning issues that came up that fortunately, I was able to resolve myself .. still with tarring up directories, ftp'ing the tar files, etc etc it took almost 2 days to finish the clone.
Upon starting the clone I'm seeing the following errors reported when the db listener and the apps fndfs listener start:
TNS-01114: LSNRCTL could not perform local OS authentication with the listener
TNS-01115: OS error 22 creating shared memory segment of 129 bytes with key 2044160132
However, the listener processes actually do start even though the above errors are reported and I verify that I can see the server processes for both. In addition, I can login to apps and do everything without any issues and login from sqlplus to the database remotely and everything appears to be working.
But if I try to look at the listener status or try to stop either listener process I get the above errors. So, if I need to bounce the app or the db I have to actually kill the listener processes in order to do so. Then upon startup, the above situation repeats.
So, I've opened a SR in regards to this as it appears to be a cloning bug. The only metalink hits I found were talking about the shmsys:shminfo_shmmni setting (currently at 200) but I don't think that's it since I've had 6 apps instances up and running on this particular server before.
Currently the R12 Vision instance is running with RUP 1 applied. I did see there was a new Techstack update and a new RUP 2 update for apps released just last week but thought I would ask if anyone else who's used rapid clone with R12 experienced similiar issue?
Thanks.

I think your perl version is a little low for R12. Here is what I have in an upgraded R12 from 11.5.10.2 Vision:

How to export r12 vision database

hi,
i want to export r12 vision database. tried to do it with apps/apps@sysdba but it is showing "invalid privileges". Same error with sys/manager & system/manager.
Is password correct for sys & system?
Can anyone help with steps for how to export r12 vision database?
Thanks,

You need to connect as sysdba or system to export the database -- Export/import process for 12.0 or 12.1 using 11gR1 or 11gR2 (Doc ID 741818.1)
The password for both SYS and SYSTEM in the Vision Demo is manager -- http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18727_01/doc.121/e12842/T422699i4783.htm
If the password is incorrect, source the database env file and issue:
$ sqlplus / as sysdba

Cannot install any apps from Creative Cloud in corporate environment. Suspsected Firewall issues.

Hello all.
I subscribed successfully and easily to CC on my home PC (iMac) and downloaded a few apps. All is fine.
I wanted to download those same few apps on a remove machine I use several times a week (Win 7).
After many many attempts of trying to download CC and getting a generic error message, I learned it could be a firewall issue here at this work/office. I found this in Adobe's forums:
Many organizations use a hardware firewall and proxy server that can prevent software from accessing an FTP server. A hardware solution applies to all computers within the corporate network. Most home networks do not use hardware firewall or proxy technology.
Contact your company's IT department to obtain firewall or proxy information.
Configure your browser with proxy or firewall information.
Configure your corporate firewall to by-pass the servers. The following servers are accessed:
ccmdl.adobe.com:80
swupmf.adobe.com:80
swupdl.adobe.com:80
Having nothing to loose, I put in a request and had these addresses/ports opened up in our firewall. That seems to partially fix the problem.
Now the problem is the speed and traffic is so terribly slow with CC that nothing installs with out failing and giving error. For example, I am trying to install PhotoShop CC and it will take a couple of HOURS to even get to 10% and then it fails. Usually, it doesn't get that far. CC just gives me the generic message:
"Installation Failed - Learn More."
Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(-7).
Our network admins swear that there is nothing wrong with the ports/firewall and yet all this works fine at my home. Can anyone offer any suggestions or advice? My internet connection here is fine. All other sites load and work fine. I simply cannot download any of the CC aps here with any reasonable speed.
Help!
PS - The URLs and ports ping just fine.

Hi RedBirdOBX1,
I'd recommend checking out the two pdf documents in the
Adobe Creative Cloud Service Access Documentation for IT section on this page:

and if you're still struggling this might be another alternative:

Can't scan from Lexmark multifunction printer - firewall issue?

Hi there!
I got a Lexmark printer/scanner combo which used to work fine on my arch install. However, its mobo died, so now I'm back at another install which refuses to scan. Scanning is done through the browser via a java applet residing on the printer's webserver. The applet does start (so it's not a java issue), but refuses to receive data from the scanner. Within the printer's web interface, it reads
If using Windows XP, the Windows XP personal firewall must be disabled before using Scan to PC profiles.
, so I'm assuming it might be a firewall issue. Lexmark's website provides the following advice:
The following two command lines will open the port 5353 for incoming and outgoing connections:
iptables -I INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 5353 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT
NOTE: These steps will work on most distributions configured with IPTABLES. There is no common command to make these rules persistent.
As I don't know anything about IP tables, I've simply copied these commands (as root, obviously). Still, I can't scan.
So, my questions are:
1. Has anybody else ever come across an issue like this?
2. I don't even know for sure, whether this is a firewall issue - What iptabled magic would I need to temporarily disable the firewall to check?
3. I tried checking my rules by "iptables -L". How can I tell "iptables -L" to specify the ports it is working on (as I did in the commands copied from lexmark's website)?
Best wishes,
Rufus

Hi Bob
I believe so. We put the install disc into this mac back when we bought it to set up the printer. I'm assuming the scanning drivers were there as well since it's a multifunctional printer/scanner/fax wireless printer.
We've tried it both ways. If I press the button scan on the printer, it reads can't find computer (or something like that). When we go thru the HP icon on my computer screen and choose scan to computer, it does nothing.
We don't scan that often. So the few times when we ran into this problem, we just did something else (like take a pic from our iPhone and email the pic...kinda stupid but did the trick.
But I want to have the function of the scanner available. So that's why I'm here asking...thought others had this issue and had a solution.

What are the minimum CPU and Memory requirements for R12 Vision instance?

We are in the process of trying to figure out what the minimum hardware requirements are for installing the R12 Vision instance. This Vision instance would only have 5 or less concurrent users. We may have to order a new server and we are wondering what the minimum CPU and memory would be? Oracle Support will not give us this information.
We aleady know how much disk space it will need.

Windows Firewall issue, Inbound rule opend all, still not the same as turning off

This is Windows Firewall issue on Windows 8.1 Pro.
Backup Exec server cannot expand a computer node in selection list. I drill down to Microsoft Windows Network/Domain/Computers, then when I tried to expand a Windows 8.1 Pro computer node, it hangs out.
I narrowed this problem to Windows firewall related issue on Windows 8.1 Pro computer.
When I turn off Windows Firewall on Domain profile, Backup Exec Selection expands the computer node of the Windows 8.1 Pro computer. So, I created an inbound rule opening all to BAckup Exec server as following, but it's still not the same as turning off
Windows firewall specifically on Windows 8.1 Pro computer;
Any Local IP address, Any Remote IP address, Any port, Any protocol, All Interface, All Programs and Services, All profiles(Domain, Private, Public)
And there are no rules blocking any which may override the above rule.
Ethernet on Windows 8.1 Pro computer shows profile is linked with Domain, but just to make it work, I selected all profiles.
Even though I opened all available in inbound rule, it's still not the same as turning off windows firewall. Why am I missing?

It looks as something related to RPC(UDP 135), but even when inbound rule is all open, why it matters? RPC seems working fine only when firewall is turned off on domain profile.

RMI firewall issue - opening port 1099 is not enough

Hello,
We have a distributed java desktop app that uses RMI with callbacks to communicate amongst the clients. It all works really well at our dev site and at 2 trial sites.
We are about to deploy out to more customer sites - so I have been doing more testing with firewalls etc and discovered some issues. Our customers are small businesses and typically have between 1 and 10 desktop clients that connect to the server via RMI. These customers are "very NOT technical", so we need to give them set-and-forget firewalls etc.
This is all on a LAN, with RMI using port 1099. On the firewalls (of the various PCs) we open ports 1099 (RMI) and 5432 (for the Postgres DB).
Also, I was using "CurrPorts" and "SmartSniff" to monitor the traffic at each PC - so I had a reasonable view of proceedings.
Basically, opening port 1099 on the server is necessary, but it is NOT ENOUGH. The RMI moves off to ports other than 1099, and the server firewall does not allow the connection.
Procedure ...
(1) start the "server" app - which starts the RMI registry - the "localhost" desktop app also starts and it works well to both the database and the RMI.
(2) start another client - it connects to the DB Server, but NOT the RMI server.
(3) open the server firewall to all traffic for a few seconds - then the client connects successfully.
From CurrPort logging I could watch the RMI comms progress over those first few minutes ...
Initially the comms do include port 1099 on the initial call to the server, but there after there are always 2 or 3 "channels" open, but not to 1099.
I notice that the Postgres DB keeps using port 5432 for all of its active channels - so it does not have the same firewall issue.
After we have opened the firewall for a few seconds - to enable the link - then we can turn the client on and off and the client re-connects without issue - so it would seem to be only an issue with the initial connection.
I am sure that this is all completely standard and correct RMI behavior.
QUESTIONS:
1. Can RMI be "forced" to always use port 1099 for connections, and not move to other ports? (like the database uses 5432)
2. Are there any suggestions for getting around this seemingly standard RMI behaviour?
Other comments ...
The firewall lets me open individual ports (say 1099) - BUT I can not justify opening ALL ports.
The firewall lets me open all ports to an application, say "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe", but that app will occasionally change at a customer's site as they will update their java version and suddenly our app will stop working.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Many Thanks,

1. Can RMI be "forced" to always use port 1099 for connectionsYes. Export all your servers on the same port. See UnicastRemoteObject constructor that takes an int, or UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(int). If the RMI Registry is a separate process you can't re-use 1099 for this purpose, but see below.
2. Are there any suggestions for getting around this seemingly standard RMI behaviour?Yes. Start the RMI Registry in the same JVM as the code, then you only need to use 1099 for everything.
If you are using server socket factories, make sure they have an equals() method, or use the same instance for all remote objects.

R12 Vision Conc managers won't start

Hi All
I have a R12 Visions instance installed on Windows Server 2003. It's been running for a few months, so (almost) everything works as expected.
However, I can't get the concurrent managers to run. In the CM log is the following entry:
Routine AFPCAL received a return code of failure from routine spiini.
After some searching on the net, I ran cmclean.sql. This didn't make any difference. Unfortunately the script was unable to create a log file, but it completed successfully.
The next thing appeared to be to run AutoConfig. So I ran adstpall.cmd. There was an error in the log file, but I didn't notice it until after i ran AutoConfig. This is the summary report at the end of the .log file:
[Service Control Execution Report]

I then ran AutoConfig. Here is the summary from the end of that log file:

The following report lists errors AutoConfig encountered during each

The report format is:

I then ran adstrtal.cmd, which also had some errors:

However, even though the Concurrent Manager is shown as started, it isn't.
If I log in, and navigate System Admin -> Concurrent Managers, the ICM is still has a red cross next to it. If I view my conurrent requests, I still get Inactive - No Manager.
Any help appreciated.

I have Internet access, but don't have an ability to watch videos on our new iPad2. We are in a hotel, could it be their service or firewall issue?

If you are unable to view content that has already been downloaded then you problem is within you device. First shut it down all the way by holiding the sleep button at the top until the power off slide appears at the top of your screen. Then slide that and wait while it powers off. Give it a good 30 seconds to do this. then power it back up. if that doesn't work, you may need to call the apple care folks. One other option is to restore it to factory settings and reload it with the updates first and then sink your media to it. You should already have it backed up to iCloud, but if not, do that first then do the restore.

Please check the following log files for any further details about the error:
1) <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/log/$CONTEXT_NAME/<MMDDHHMM>.log
2) <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/log/$CONTEXT_NAME/dbInstall.log
I assume you are using the same Stage area, so it should work fine no matter what instance you are trying to install.
What Files are required to install R12 VISION with out Express selection on Windows server 2003What do you mean by missing and required files? As stated above, you should have the complete stage area staged properly.

Unsolvable OS X firewall issues

Since switching from TWC to Verizon High Speed Internet, I've been unable to download Netflix, play Yahoo Backgammon, send email via Network Solutions server, send or receive email from mobile me account, and connect to a JSTOR server for downloading articles on my iMac, OS X 10.6.6. I suspect that it's a firewall issue, but haven't been able to confirm that with Verizon customer service.
The first time I called about the email, after verifying that we had an internet connection, Verizon said that it must be Network Solutions. I called Network Solutions and found that everything was in order there. I phoned Apple, and found that everthing was in order on my machine and software. Navigating the Automated Call Distrbution and hold times at each of these places took about 3 hours, which included about 40 minutes of trouble shooting - most of it by Apple. I had to go to work.
On my next day off I called verizon and asked to have my call escalated to a higher tier mac support technician, but they said that they didn't have higher tier technicians. We went through a laborious troubleshooting process, and the tech couldn't find the problem within 50 minutes, and I had to leave for an appointment. I couldn't call back that week. Verizon phoned a day or two later and left a message on my answering machine that invited me to call a toll free number if my issue had not been resolved. I called before leaving for work a few days later, got through to a Verizon mac OS tech, and went through the same laborious trouble shooting process to no avail. I asked to be transferred to a higher level tech, and the tech just put me back in the hold queue. The new service tech wanted to go through the same protocals that I had already been through, which I found unacceptable. As this was my forth attempt to correct this problem, I asked him to read the notes from previous service techs. The only note he could find said "Unable to connect to the internet."
I believe I'm beyond my 30 day trial, but I desperately want out of my contract with Verizon. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Set the Firewall to Disabled and see if your applications begin working. The Wireless key can be gotten from the Wireles Settings section.
