SSL Setup on EBS 12.2 Environments

1. stop the services
2. go to $INST_TOP/certs
3. If directory Apache exists, take backup of that dir
5. cp -r Apache Apache_bak
6. cd Apache
7. rm *

If Apache dir does not exist, create it under $INST_TOP/certs.

8. Create wallet under Apache dir using :

orapki wallet create -wallet . -auto_login -pwd  Welcome123

9. Update wallet by replacing  ebs.oracle.com  in the following example with  your VM host

 orapki wallet add -wallet . -dn "CN= ebs.oracle.com,OU=Unit,O=Org,L=Redwood Shores,ST=California,C=US" -keysize 1024 -self_signed -validity 3650 -pwd  Welcome123

10. Replace     with your  env context name in following command:

cp   $INST_TOP/certs/Apache/cwallet.sso $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/instances/EBS_web_/config/OHS/EBS_web_component/keystores/default            

      
cd  $INST_TOP/certs/Apache

 Please  replace   the  ebs.oracle.com  with  your  VM host .

orapki wallet export -wallet  $PWD  -dn "CN= ebs.oracle.com,OU=Unit,O=Org,L=Redwood Shores,ST=California,C=US"  -cert server.crt -pwd Welcome123

11. cd  $OA_JRE_TOP/lib/security
12. cp  cacerts cacerts_org

13. $ keytool -import -alias ApacheServer -file $INST_TOP/certs/Apache/server.crt -trustcacerts -v -keystore ./cacerts -storepass  Welcome123

Trust this certificate? [no]:  Yes

Certificate was added to keystore

14  Update the $CONTEXT_FILE with SSL values given in table below:

Variable	Non-SSL Value	SSL Value
s_url_protocol	http		https
s_local_url_protocol	http		https
s_webentryurlprotocol	http		https
s_active_webport	same as s_webport		same as s_webssl_port
s_webssl_port	not applicable		Make sure base= 4443
s_https_listen_parameter	not applicable		same as s_webssl_port
s_enable_sslterminator	#		remove the '#' to use ssl_terminator.conf
s_login_page	url constructed with http protocol and s_webport		url constructed with https protocol and s_webssl_port. Eg. https://ebs.oracle.com:4452/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
s_external_url	url constructed with http protocol and s_webport		url constructed with https protocol and s_webssl_port Eg. https://ebs.oracle.com:4452/OA_HTML/AppsLogin

15. Run Autoconfig on middle tier.

On DB tier :-

1. First create  ca.crt using   server.crt file .
   cd  $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil    (   RDBMS home )
2. mkdir  wallet
3. cd wallet ;   and  ftp the ca.crt file  created in step 1  to this location.
4. Run the following commands
5. orapki wallet create -wallet $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/wallet -auto_login -pwd Welcome123
6. import trusted certificate using:

orapki wallet add -wallet . -trusted_cert -cert ca.crt -pwd Welcome123

Test using new URL

https://ebs.oracle.com:4452/OA_HTML/AppsLogin

Create a Clean oraInventory in Release 12.2

1. Clean the current oraInventory location:

Check the oraInventory location from the /etc/oraInst.loc file
Backup and clean that directory

2. Add the RDBMS Oracle Home first to the new oraInventory:

Go to $ORACLE_HOME
source the environment file .env
cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin
Run the following command to add the RDBMS OH to oraInventory:
./runInstaller -attachhome ORACLE_HOME= ORACLE_HOME_NAME=''

Check the inventory.xml under /ContextXML directory and ensure the new entry is added.

5. The new oraInventory is complete.

EBS Workflow Service Components Status

Good piece of script to identify the status of the workflow components from sql prompt.
This is alternate option to see workflow service components status from OAM GUI.


Run the below SQL as apps user

col component_id format 999999
col startup_mode format a10
col component_status format a10
col component_name format a50
set linesize 125
set pagesize 25
select component_id, startup_mode,component_status,component_type,component_name from fnd_svc_components
order by component_id;

Search and Replace String across multiple files in Linux

  perl -pi -e 's/old_string/new_string/g' file_pattern

  perl -pi -e 's/temp/tmp/g' *.html

  /happy/

To correctly replace it, you would have to escape the forward slashes with the escape character (the backslash) so that the forward slashes aren't interpreted as commands. Your replacement string would need to be:

  \/happy\/

Fusion Applications P4FA Patches

 

High levels to apply P4FA:

1. Shutdown FMW, IDM and DB (Transaction, OID and OIM database) services
2. Backup Environment
3. * Apply patches to FMW Oracle Homes (excluding ATGPF/Generic and ATGPF/Database patches)
4. * Apply patches to IDM Oracle Homes
5. * Apply RDBMS patches to Transaction, OID and OIM ** Oracle Homes
6. Start DB (Transaction, OID and OIM database) services
7. Apply RDBMS patches post steps (if any) on Transaction, OID and OIM databases
8. Start IDM Middle-tier services
9. Apply post steps on IDM Oracle Homes (if any)
10. Bounce IDM Middle-tier services (ONLY if any post step on IDM Oracle Homes requires OID/OIM/AUTHOHS bounce)
11. Apply ATG/Generic patches to ATGPF Oracle Home
12. Apply ATGPF/Database patches to ATGPF Oracle Home
13. Start FMW services (FA, BI, and other techstack components)
14. Apply post steps on FMW Oracle Homes (if any)
15. Bounce FA Domains (ONLY if any post steps on FMW Oracle Homes requires domain bounce)

* can be done in parallel
** If Transaction, OID, OIM databases share same Oracle Home, then apply RDBMS patches once and perform patch post steps (if any) on all databases.
