12 Connect from TOAD
• Check if you can ping focusthreadr12.com
• Install Database Client or ensure that you already have database client running on
your windows machine
• Add alias like “visr12” for R12 in tnsnames.ora under database client on
windows machine
• Test if you can run “tnsping visr12” from your windows command prompt
• Test if you can connect to database from your windows machine using sqlplus i.e.
“sqlplus apps/apps@visr12”
• Connect using toad now
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)
Wait for 5 minutes and then try accessing apps. If issue is still not fixed then go to next
step Fix 2
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
If you see error message in logs then restart OC4J’s using adopmnctl.sh script
Try again accessing application from client, if you still can’t login then go to next
step
• Check Java Cache log
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
13.2 Internal Server Error on Login Page
1. Login to putty as user avisr12

2. cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
3. cd $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/opmn
4. cd $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3/j2ee/oacore/persistence
5. Delete files under persistence directory (Ensure that you are in persistence
directory by running pwd)

occurred : The current application deployment descriptor do
not allow for including it in this response.
13.4 FRM-92050 Failed to connect to Server /forms/servlet -1
Check Internet Explorer version
If its IE 8 then disable XSS filter
Disable XSS filter and click OK
13.5 Unable to see VMWare login page
Start all services related to VMWare and try connecting to VMware again
If you can’t start services then check next section
13.6 Unable to start VMWare Host Agent
If you start VMware Host Agent and it fails with below error
Start Event Viewer
Check Logs under section in “System”
VMware Host Agent service terminated with service-specific error 4294967295
13.7 VMWare Login issue : VMware infrastructure Web Service is

not responding (Connection Refused)
Ensure that Administrator account is enabled
First you’ll need to open a command prompt in administrator mode by right-clicking and
choosing “Run as administrator”
Now type the following command:
net user administrator /active:yes
http://helpdeskgeek.com/virtualization/vmware-server-web-access-default-username-and-
password/

13.8 Unable to start Virtual Disk focusthreadr12.com
Now try starting VMware again
13.9 Cannot open disk XXXXXXXX
Ensure that name used in vmware configuration file (vmx) is correct for vmdk file
13.10 Unable to connect to foscusthreaderp.com from Putty
If you are unable to ping focusthreadr12.com from your windows machine then one
reason could be that there is no gateway from windows machine to connect to Linux
(forcusthreadr12.com) and fix is to change Network Adapter from Bridged to NAT
To change Network Adapter from Bridged to NAT go to appendix 1 “change network

adapter from Bridged to NAT”
13.11 Invalid Security Certificate
This certificate is not trusted because it is self signed (sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)
This error is only if you are using Firefox/Mozilla
Workaround: Use Internet explorer with URL for Vmwarwe console as

http://localhost:8333
Fix: For Firefox Mozilla Go to -> Options > Advanced > View certificates > Add
Exception
Put in your host address and port like https://<computer_name>:8333
i.e. https://ramakris-pc:8333 (for above screenshot)
'Get certificate', This will give an error - then 'confirm security Exception' and accept it .
13.12 VMware virtual machine startup hangs at 95%
Fix:
If you see errors like above then uninstall any antivirus software including firewall,
reboot machine and test again. (Disabling antivirus or firewall won’t fix this should, You
must uninstall antivirus and any firewall software)
13.13 Virtual Machine not recognized
Fix: Refresh Datasource
Ensure that
13.14 Remote Console Plug-In Error : Cannot access virtual

machine console. The request timed out
Fix: Uninstall VMware Console Plug-In (From Add remove program) and then install it
again
14 Appendix
14.1 Change Network Adapter from Bridged to NAT
Change in network adapter from Bridged to NAT is required only if you can’t
connect from your Windows machine to Linux machine because of missing Gateway
