1. Opatch failed WITH error code 73.

You may get below message FOR the above error code

Running prerequisite CHECK..

prerequistie CHECK "CheckActiveFilesandExecutables" failed.

Opatch failed WITH error code 73.

To Fix this Issue:

CHECK

ps -ef | grep oracle

ps -ef | grep tns

oracle process may be running.

KILL the Oracle process.

KILL -9 process-id

2. ORA-12162 : TNS: net service name IS incorrectly specified

Sqlplus '/as sysdba'

The error message ORA-12162 IS very misleading, AS it suggests there IS a problem WITH the tnsnames.ora FILE CONTENTS.

To Fix this Issue:

export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/abcd/db/tech_st/11.1.0

export ORACLE_SID=ABCD (Your SID)

CHANGE HOSTNAME OR IP-Address OR DOMAIN NAME ON APPS-TIER OR DB-TIER in R12

Autoconfig Frequently asked Question : 218089.1

For any queries related to below mentioned steps Question Number from 23 onwards will help you.

Steps to change hostname or domain name or port number of Database.

Doc-id : 338003.1

1. Login to DB-Tier as oracle user

2. start the database if not up and running.

3. De-register the current database server.

As the database hostname and/or port will be changed, the current database server node needs to be de-registered

$ perl adgentns.pl appspass=apps contextfile=$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/Contextfilename.xml -removeserver

4. Take a backup of your context file Edit contextfile i.e SID_hostname.xml file $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil

Replace all old domain entries to newdomain/hostname use vi to edit for e.g changing hostname from abc.com to xyz.com using vi editor

esckey :%s/abc.com/xyz.com/g

Note : Before Running autoconfig Change Hostname or domain name in /etc/hosts and or relevant files.

5. Execute AutoConfig for dbTier

cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin

./adconfig.sh contextfile=$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/SID_hostname.xml

Steps to change hostname or domain name of Application Tier using Auto-config .

Doc-id: 341322.1

1. Login to Apps-Tier  as apps user

2. Stop application services.

3. De-register the current apps server

As the Applications hostname will be changed, the current Applications server node needs to be de-registered.

$ perl $AD_TOP/bin/adgentns.pl appspass=apps contextfile=$ INST_TOP/appl/admin/SID_hostname.xml

–removeserver

4. Take a backup of your context file Edit contextfile i.e SID_hostname.xml

Replace all old domain entries to newdomain/hostname use vi to edit for e.g changing hostname from abc.com to xyz.com using vi editor

esckey :%s/abc.com/xyz.com/g

5. Execute AutoConfig for appTier

cd $AD_TOP/bin

./adconfig.sh contextfile=$INST_TOP/appl/admin/SID_hostname.xml appspass=apps

Finishing Tasks

1. As oracle user, do the following:

$ sqlplus apps/apps
sql> update icx_parameters set session_cookie_domain=' newdomain.com';
sql> conn applsys/apps
sql> select profile_option_value from fnd_profile_option_values where profile_option_value
like '%oldhost%'; if not correct then update it accordinly with the correct one
sql> update fnd_profile_option_values set profile_option_value='newhost' where profile_option_value like '%oldhost%';
sql> exit;

Done. You can startup AppTier now and access E-Business Suite login page at http://newhost.newdomain.com:8000/
