BPM Workspace Login problem

I'm having a weird issue.
I just can't login anymore to bpm workspace with weblogic user, I can login just fine on the console and on the enterprise manager, but can't login on workspace nor on process composer.
Any ideas?

Oh well...
It seems there's a bug with the XE Database... Sometimes it freezes some components and the SOA Plataform goes crazy.
Simple system reboot solved.

Workspace login time problem

hi,all:
It takes over 1min before i login the workspace , what should i do r to make it faster?
thanks

I noticed this happening on our installation after a reboot of our servers. If I recall correctly, one of the services "Workspace - Agent Service" or something similar was set to manual and was not running. After turning it on, workspace login breezed through. I've since set the service to automatic and have not faced the problem since. Could you check to see if this was the case?
Similarly, whenever one of the ancillary services such as Reporting or Planning crashes, I face this issue and I know that one of the dependency services is down.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Unable to reach Workspace Login Page

Hi,
First some background - I am an Apex developer / administrator. I do not have a DBA background. DBAs install the Apex software and I administer the webserver (although my experience with webservers is that which I've picked up using Apex) and develop applications.
We are currently upgrading our DEV, QA and PROD APEX installations from 2.2.1 to 3.1.1 (specifically 3.1.1.00.09).
We are using Oracle HTTP Server from the Oracle 10.1 companion disk.
We completed this for our DEV and QA environments without a problem. We have not done this for our PROD environment yet.
We also installed APEXLIB 1.7 in both DEV and QA. This was working successfully in DEV. We had not tried it yet in QA.
Both 3.1.1 upgraded environments have been running successfully for about 10 days since the upgrade.
However our QA environment (Oracle 10.2.0.3 running on HP-UX B.11.11 ) experienced a problem yesterday - we can no longer access any Apex applications including the Workspace login pages or application login pages.
The error we get in the browser is:
Expecting p_company or wwv_flow_company cookie to contain security group id of application owner.
Error ERR-7620 Could not determine workspace for application ().
We experienced a problem with our QA environment before (prior to upgrade) and we needed to flush the shared pool a few months ago as a temporary fix for this as has been noted on this forum. The problem in question was addressed in this forum post: Re: ORA-06502:PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value
However, with the current problem, flushing the shared pool has not solved the issue. It may not be related.
When we access the workspace login page: http://our_url/apex/crmqa/f?p=4550:1, I see nothing in the Apache logs to indicate an error.
The access_log.xxx file in the Apache logs lists this ...
ip_address_here - apex_public_user [16/Jul/2008:15:15:15 -0500] "GET /apex/crmqa/f?p=4550:1 HTTP/1.1" 200 455
The error_log.xxx file is empty.

The DAD entries above point to databases on which Apex is version 3.1.1 and we have modified the image prefix on these database to be a value of /i31, using the script reset_image_prefix.sql.
This DAD file also contains DAD entries (not included above) for other database running Apex 2.2.1 which are using the default image prefix value of /i
I can ping the database ip address from the machine on which the OHS webserver is running.
I have installed OHS on my local laptop and have the same problems.
I can however execute a procedure on the database using the same OHS / DAD configuration running something like http://our_url/apex/crmqa/schema_name.test_connection?v_wait=1where the proc test_connection proc sleeps for v_wait seconds before returning a simple html page confirming that it worked.
I can login to the apex_public_user account via my SQL Developer client
At this point I do not know what else to try to resolve this issue. I am about to start trawling through metalink for related issues if I can find anything.
Any assistance is very much appreciated...
Thank you.
Alan

I also see this post on Metalink - could it be related?

This document is being delivered to you via Oracle Support's Rapid Visibility (RaV) process, and therefore has not been subject to an independent technical review.
Applies to:
Oracle Application Express (formerly HTML DB) - Version: 2.0.0.0.49
This problem can occur on any platform.
Symptoms
On the Application builder page, when attempting to click details to view the applications, the following error occurs:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value
However, the problem seems to disappear after a while..
Changes
Upgrade of database (from any version to 10.2.0.1 or 10.2.0.2)
Cause
The reason is due to database Bug 4752541 Abstract: APPSST 10G: ORA-6550 AFTER UPGRADE TO 10.2.0.1. However Patch 47552541 is obsoleted and not available via metalink, it was superceded by Patch 5705795.
This bug is fixed in patchset 10.2.0.4 and above. For current and older versions, Patch 5705795 must be applied. If the patch cannot be found for a particular version or O/S , log a service request with Oracle Support to obtain the patch.
This is also documented in the Apex forum page: Re: wwv_flow.accept error lists the following bug as
root cause.
Solution
Interim solution:
Flush the database shared pool when the problem occurs
Permanent solution:
Upgrade database to 10.2.0.4 or above
OR
Download and apply database Patch 5705795. If the version for your database is not available , create a new Service request from metalink under product RDBMS to request for a patch

Workspace login issue with Firefox

Hi all,
I have run across an issue where the cursor for logging into Workspace does not appear in Firefox when coming from a redirection link in a Task email.
The scenario is as follows: We have a long-lived process that emails a user when a task is assigned to them to log into Workspace. The email contains a link for the user to click on which will open up a browser window to the Workspace login screen. If the user's browser default is Firefox, the browser window will open but the cursor for entering User ID and Password is not immediately available. You can click on the User ID box and it gets highlighted, but there is no cursor available. I can get the cursor to appear if I take the focus away from the login boxes. For example, I click into the address bar, then click back into the User ID box or if I minimize the browser window then restore the browser and click into the User ID box. This would be counter-intuitive to the user who is expecting the cursor to be available when the browser opens up for them.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Is this a known Firefox or Adobe issue that has a fix? I've update to the latest Firefox version and Flash, but still have this issue. There are no problems with IE opening up from the link in the email and the cursor is always available. I don't want to have to force users to use IE as their default browser because of this issue with Firefox. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

It sounds like a issue with FireFox and Workspace.
LiveCycle Workspace 9.0 - End User Issues
** New for LiveCycle ES2 SP1 ** Problem logging into Workspace 9.0 using Firefox 3.6.x in Windows
When you log into Workspace 9.0 using the Firefox 3.6.x web browser in Windows, you are unable to enter text in the User ID or Password fields. The current workaround is to select another window (or empty area on the desktop), reselect the web browser to reset the focus, and then enter text in the User ID or Password fields.
You can see it in the release notes at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/releasenotes.html#EndUserIssues.
Hope that helps!

I created another os user and tried with that still same. I tried entering oracle password "SYSTEM" and password for it but still could not login, I tried HR username password still nothing.
I tried disabling firewall but still same issue. I tried to re-install two time but still same .

Hi
This is how I resolved the browser login problem .
I checked the listener log
C:\OracleXE\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\log
And found the error
TNS-12542: TNS:address already in use
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00512: Address already in use
I have another version for oracle installed on my pc .
I ended both the oracle process (Oracle.exe) through the Task Manager
Then manually started OracleServiceXe service through Component Services
Control Panel Performance & Maintenance Administrative Component Services
Then did following
Programs Oracle Database10g ExpressEdition Start Database
Programs Oracle Databse10g ExpressEdition Go to Database Homepage
Enter username SYSTEM
Enter password xxxxxx whatever given at the time of installing.
And I did successfully login to the browser .
Hope this will help to those of you who have run into similar problem which I faced
Good Luck .

Web Center app with ADF Security - login problem

I have a custome Oracle Web Center app.
I have a page.html with an embedded login form posting to j_security_check. I've configured the ADF security policies to redirect to a JSPX on successful login.
When I try the correct username/password, I get redirected not to the page I defined in ADF, but to the root page http://127.0.0.1:7101/MyApp-ViewController-context-root/
and i get
Error 403--Forbidden
I've checked the weblogic.xml as per http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2009/12/solving-error-403-forbidden-in-adf.html, all the required entries are there.
This works fine if i use a Login link with
destination="#{'/adfAuthentication?login=true&end_url=/faces/postLogin.jspx'} "
which redirects to the default login.html and then to the right page. I've copied the form from the default login.html into my master HTML page.
Hope my question is clear. Any suggestions why it is going to the wrong URL after login.
Is there anything specific I should see in the jazn-data.xml or web.xml regarding the post-login URL since i cant see that in either.
P.S. Have been advised to try here when I originally asked this in the WebCenter forum. Web Center app ADF Security - login problem
Edited by: new_to_webcenter on 18-Jan-2011 05:25

Thanks for your response Frank.
The web.xml has
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>adfAuthentication</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/adfAuthentication</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>valid-users</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login.html</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/error.html</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
When configuring ADF Security via JDev , I chose "Redirect upon successful authentication" to the Welcome Page
"/faces/postLogin.jspx"
this then adds into web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>adfAuthentication</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.adf.share.security.authentication.AuthenticationServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>success_url</param-name>
<param-value>/faces/postLogin.jspx</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
So the sequence which works is:
Login via the '/adfAuthentication?login=true&end_url=/faces/postLogin.jspx' and this redirects to login.html (OOTB form which posts to j_security_check) and then to the postLogin.jspx
I'm trying to do away with a Login link, and trying the simple login form embedded in my page alongwith other content.
So should the form be posting to j_security_check directly or to the adfAuthentication ?

IMac login problems on any 10.6 update

I have a 24" iMac that is 2 years old. After using snow leopard on my husband's new macbook I decided to get it for my imac. The base install of 10.6 works fine but of course it immediately wants to be updated to a new release. If I update it past the base install from the CD I get login problems.
What happens is that the desktop appears and the finder menu is at the top but the date and network status etc - everything from the top right of the menu bar is missing. The computer will not move forward. No amount of waiting or button pushing will improve the situation.
Sometimes I could log in to another account but then it would start happening on that acocunt too. I made myself a new account and it started happening on that too. Every time if I did a re-install of the base 10.6 from the CD it went back to working fine. I would have to say no to every update of 10.6 on software update. This has been going on for 6 months. I thought maybe with 10.6.4 they fixed it but it did it again.
yesterday I did a fresh install. Thinking it was caused by my old quicken 2007 or parallels (though its v 5) or something else that has some bit that starts at login I formatted the HD , installed 10.6 fresh and installed nothing but ilife 9. I downloaded the 10.6.4 update and it still happens. I logged off my account and logged back in to test and it froze again. I am at my wits end. The only thing I saved from my old profile was my mail folder. I can find nothing else to fix. Any ideas?

Do things behave better if you boot into "safe mode" by holding down a shift key while your Mac is booting?

How to get workspace login time from eng/dir database

I am trying to create performance report by checking user workspace login and logout time in oracle bpm 10g.
I am not sure which engine/directory table holds history of user login.
Please help me if you have any idea.

Hi,
Pls search for "Managing Usage Tracking" in this "Framework Administrator's" guide.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/raf_webadmin/frameset.htm?launch_raf_admin.html
I have not personally tried but heard of this. This can help you in giving the last login info' in a report format. But you have read the cautions (in the guide) when you plan to use this....

Can't Access Administrative Services after "Disable Workspace Login"

Hi,
I have been testing a production configuration on my local APEX instance, and run into the following difficultly. I disabled the Workspace Login from

Hi Scott, jeeze.... that was quick! Must be the time difference :)
Must have submitted that post by accident, I was just swearing at my pc and typing it out again.
What I was trying to say was that I disabled the Workspace Login from Admin Services > Manage Service > Security.
When I attempted to login as the internal workspace, I get a 404.
Then, I though this must be the whole point of the apex_admin interface and attempted to log in via:
http://localhost:7777/pls/htmldb/apex_admin
Still the 404.
I have checked the access logs, and a 302 is generated before each 404.
I have also executed the following (as per instructions for reverting from a 'Disable Administrator Login") - just to be sure:
alter session set current_schema=flows_030100
BEGIN
WWV_FLOW_API.SET_SECURITY_GROUP_ID(p_security_group_id=>10);
WWV_FLOW_PLATFORM.SET_PREFERENCE(
p_preference_name => 'DISABLE_ADMIN_LOGIN',
p_preference_value => 'N' );
end;
commit
Following a restart of both the db and http server, Im still getting the 404.

Simultaneous login problem

Hi
I am having simultaneous login problems. In the past I have been able to sign into my skype account on both my Mac Book Pro and my Windows 7 desktop PC. However since I had to change my password I can only login into one machine at a time now. Also when I change my password on the desktop PC I can only sign into that skype / computer. Whenever I type the same account name and same exact password on my Mac Book Pro, it says it doesn't recognize my sign-in details but I am 100% sure that I typed it in exactly the same way as I did on my desktop. Another is that when I reset my password on my Mac Book those details won't work on the Desktop PC and vice-versa.
I would like to know what is the problem in this situation, I am not sure if this is an application error or a networking error where the account details are not signing in from a different IP or MAC address.
Please and thank you!

"The load balancing was already functional:"
Do you have a description how to do that?
I Would like to know how.
"so ALL traffic, not going to the LAN network and so over this interface, went out on the DMZ interface, with source IP from LAN."
If you put the VPN servers behind 1-1 NAT instead they will use the firewall as GW and the VPN clients will get at your remote sites/LAN IF you add routing definitions in VPN config what networks are reachable through VPN.
Or you keep servers as they are but also add add more routing definitions in VPN AND static routes to each server with the firewall as gw to those remote networks. Default gw will still be through the DMZ IPs though.
The problem with more than one VPN client from behind same IP address is, with your current server settings, most likely because of the client side NAT router isn't coping with the task. Your public IP VPN server(s) should mean NAT VPN problem is at the other end (customer/client network router/firewall).
If two VPN clients behind same NAT router connected to different servers at your end, "12.34.56.80" and "12.34.56.81" (both are public IPs?) respectively I believe at least two should be able to connect.
3G/4G modems isn't an option?
Maybe try bringing your own tested working portable router (ethernet/wifi maybe includes a VPN client that connect to your servers) to the customer and put it temporarily on their LAN? There are these small new 3G/WiFi routers too. Depends on wether you need to be connected to customer LAN or not.
Try other VPN solution, SSL or OpenVPN?
Use both PPTP and L2TP simultaneously (PPTP could be troubelsome if GRE/TCP 1723 passthrough is disabled)?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Vlad Dodin,
I want to get more information about this issue.
Had you got any error messages during the login process?
If no domain users can log into those PCs?
If this is just a login problem in those PCs and there is no error Roaming profiles error during the login process, this article may be helpful for you:

So is Apple considering its own Mail App on the Mac to be a third part app? Been having login problems since they started requring two step verification on third party apps. Once I shut off my two step verification on my iCloud account it worked fine.

You shouldn't need to turn off two-step verification or use an app-specific password for your Mac mail to work with iCloud (mine works fine). Try turning tow-step verification back on. If Mail doesn't work, go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail again.

What's causing these power-up and login problems?

I recently switched from Tiger to Leopard (installed by the repairers) and have encountered some power-up and login problems. Basically, my set up is that the computer automatically logs into a non-admin account, launches a Safari page, and then that's it - after checking the webpage, I logout of that account, into my main account, and work from there.
In Tiger :
A few times quite recently the computer would freeze, either while Safari was launching / opening the webpage, or when I tried to logout. Force Quit didn't work (total freeze) so I would force power-off and switch on again, and things would be fine.
In Leopard, one of the following has begun to happen, about two weeks after I began using it:
• The computer reaches the grey screen with an endlessly rotating gear wheel. (Power off / on again)
• The computer logs in to the account; after selecting 'Log out...' I log out, but instead of giving me the login screen, it logs straight back into that account, and this happens every time I try 'Log out...'. (Use Fast User Switching instead to reach main account, where one or two software glitches prompt a Restart) This has happened twice.
• This morning, the computer reached the blue screen where the pointer appeared - faded - appeared - faded etc endlessly (Power off / on again).
Clearly it is not the System - experiencing problems in both Tiger and Leopard proves that. Nor is it my HD - I've had a new one installed. It must therefore be a setting in my login account, though it's hard to see what : I only use that account for login, and a single launch of Safari, and it's been ok for years.
Should i create another login account and see if that solves the problem? By the way, the repairers did not give me any Leopard install disks, so please don't suggest that method of diagnosis. I only have the original Tiger disks.

2. I don't know what Apple app(s) you refer to? As I said I've upgraded all the free ones, and iLife '06 is working (and I have the disks).
Look in your Applications folder: Any Apple app there, except for the ones you've mentioned. And all the built-in parts of OSX.
3. They told me that I CAN do a full restore from a Time Machine backup (via Disk Utility apparently).
That should tell you something about the quality of their advice.
See: [Mac OS X 10.6 Help Recovering your entire system|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15638.html].
Or the *Restoring your entire system from a backup* section, towards the bottom of [Mac 101: Time Machine|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427].
Or look up +*Time Machine+* in Mac Help.
Or #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
And if there's a problem with your installation of OSX (which seems likely), or the Apple apps, you can't reinstall them, either.
4. Having spent hours and hours getting the machine to work properly (upgrading Mail and sorting out Mail problems, upgrading Safari, re-upgrading iTunes and sorting out problems), I'm not prepared to spend hours and hours doing the whole thing in reverse to restore Tiger, including learning HOW to do that.
Correct; unless you have backups of the Tiger system, that's impractical at best.
So unless anyone has a reasonably simple, straightforward answer as to what this problem might be, it looks like I must live with it.
You have some sort of problem with your Mac and it's not going to get better on it's own. Most likely, it will get worse.
If you haven't, try the things recommended by Dale.
Also try running the +Apple Hardware Test.+ It's on one of the disc(s) that came with your Mac, and is tailored to it's particular hardware. The disk should have +Apple Hardware Test+ and instructions for running it printed in very tiny type.
I sympathize with your situation, but the repair shop violated the Apple license, and put you in an untenable situation. If they won't correct it by supplying the Leopard disc, you really should report them to Apple.
You need to purchase a retail copy of Leopard (not the gray discs that came with another Mac; they won't boot yours). They're not shown on the Apple Store website anymore, and eBay and other sellers get a premium for them, but AppleCare should have them for the original $129.
