1 Introduction

This document covers installation of VMware, import Oracle Applications R12, start/stop
Oracle Applications R12 and SOA/AIA

Steps mentioned in 1-5 are one time setup task. Step 6 Start Applications R12
should be done each time you start virtual machine.

AIA & SOA start/stop is optional component and if you dont want to use SOA/AIA
then there is no need to start SOA/AIA services.

13 Troubleshooting

13.1 Page not responsing

If you type URL and nothing happens (blank page) then check below things

13.1.1 Fix 1: Try stopping concurrent Manager and then try


./adcmctl.sh stop apps/apps (Dot infront of forward slash)



65

Wait for 5 minutes and then try accessing apps. If issue is still not fixed then go to next
step Fix 2



66
13.1.2 Fix 2: Check status of OC4J

(Bounce of OC4J using OPMN should fix issue, if not then check Java Cache Logs
and other things given below)

Check application.log



67
If you see error message in logs then restart OC4Js using adopmnctl.sh script

Try again accessing application from client, if you still cant login then go to next
step

Check Java Cache log



68

Entry like above means java cache is working fine

If you see last entry as javacache shutdown then contact Focus Thread Team and ask
them to run AutoConfig on system



69
13.2 Internal Server Error on Login Page

1. Login to putty as user avisr12
2. cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
