Cancel the request(s). Once you have gotten all "pending" and "scheduled" submissions of the request terminated, it will not resubmit, until someone tells it to.

Hi,

Yes. Using the System Administration responsibility go to Concurrent:Requests and query up all Phase=Pending, Status=Scheduled concurrent requests. You then can cancel the one concurrent request that keeps getting re-submitted every two minutes. If you know that userid that submitted the request, you can add that to the query for all pending scheduled concurrent requests.

I hope this helps.

Subject: Re: AOL: ERROR WHEN COMPILING VIEW

I experienced this not long ago. When I called Oracle they wanted me to upgrade. I resisted because the problem was in test and not production which both were exactly the same. I pushed hard but they had no answer. Being determined I wanted to solve this because production would compile where test would not. I do not recall the exact views and packages involved.

Here is what I had to do.

Some of the views will refer to packages or other views in the system. One by one try to recompile these referenced views and packages. Even if they are already valid perform a recompile. Once this is done then try the original view / package giving you the ora-600. I am not sure this will work for you but it did work for me.

I then proceeded to call oracle back and request that they document this process for future refernce. Not sure if this happened.

Kevin Good luck.

It appears a trigger was created on fnd_concurrent_requests when someone defined an alert. To get around the problem for now disable trigger "APPS.ALR_FND_CONCURRENT_REQUEST_IAR" then go back and take a look at the alert that may have created this trigger.

John Sweeney,
What did you do to get the system back. We tried to disable the alert, but it is not working. We purged all the information in Fnd_concurrent_requests, it is not working. The only way, was disable the trigger. We did that -- it may not be advisable to do so as we dont know the effects of diabling this (ALR_FND_CONCURRENT_REQUEST_IAR) trigger.

One good this about the whole issue is that, this is happening in one of our test instances.

Please advice. Thanks,

In $AR_TOP/admin or $AR_TOP/install there's a directory odf with a lot of .odf files in there. If you grep the directory to find the file with the AR_CASH_RECEIPTS_V view in it you can then run the command and file name. I think the syntax for the command is in one of the upgrade or install manuals (it was a while ago since I did it). Hope this helps.


How to setup system to ensure that users change their passwords after defined period

Date: Fri, 13 Aug 1999 09:19:47 -0400
From: "Epp, Charles A" cepp@kpmg.com
Subject: PASSWORDS

Good morning, fellow seekers of knowledge. We're currently using Oracle 10.7 (Govt) Version 7. Is there a parameter or setting that can be enabled at a site and/or application level to prompt all users to reset their passwords at a defined period (ie. 60 days). All I can find is a form that can be set user by user (which can be time-consuming if you're already up and running and have many users). If not, is there any Oracle version that has this capability. Thanks for any help.

Subject: Re: PASSWORDS

Actually the funcionality does not exist to my knowledge. However, if you were to set the PASSWORD_DATE column in the FND_USER table to NULL this will cause the password to expire. You need to be sure not to expire every row in FND_USER. This table also contains system accounts like SYSADMIN, and AUTOINSTALL and others.

Or, rather than expiring all passwords "now", set the PASSWORD_LIFESPAN_DAYS to 60. Then, ever 60 days (or whatever value) the password will expire and users will be forced to change them.

It is our policy when setting up users that the expiration is set to 90 days.

Bharat,

You are saying about the script to be used in Oracle 8.0 for SQL*PLUS only ( but not for ORacle Apps ). You can write a procedure on dba_users to force the users to change their passwords after 60 days or whatever in ORacle 8.

Oracle 8 has introduced, some profile options ( not listed anywhere ....) like PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION, PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX, PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME and PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME etc.

You can write a function to verify the passwords and see that they will not exist in a commonly used passwords like WELCOME,hello, john, williams,tom etc. that are stored in a separate table. You can bind this function to the PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION of the user.

You can also set the other Profile options for the user to force him change in SQL*Plus.

Subject: RE: PASSWORDS

Karen,

Setting the Expiry Date to 60 will cause the Apps SYSADMIN face nightmares on 60th day as every user will call SYSADMIN as they cannot login to Apps.

There is no other way for this. I worked in implementing Security for the users but there was no other way.

But there is a way of storing their old passwords.

Whenever a row inserted on the password column is updated, you can write a trigger to store the user_id,user_name and password1,encoded_password1, password2,encoded_password etc in another table.

After Sixty days you can insert the old password and encoded password into fnd_user table for all the users.

But you have to mail them that they will have to login with their old password after 60 days. This is a tedious way.

It is a little confusing....Isn't it ?

FYI,
Oracle apps supports "pass phrases" so if you have a user that consistantly forgets their password, suggest that they use "I hate work" or something like that. They won't forget it and it's hard to hack.

Subject: RE: PASSWORDS

The same holds true for 10.7NCA (and I would also assume so for 11.x). The user is prompted that their password has expired and they need to enter a new one before they can access the apps. I have only had to "hand-hold" for about 4 users (out of 200, not bad). Much more common is the "I forgot what I changed it to" syndrome. cheers

In system administration - profile system- choose the level as user and pick the user name. In the system options pick Audit enabled and for this choose the respective option ex. form level etc.

Once you enable this you can navigate to the monitor screen in system adminisration and query you can see all the users logged in and if you have enabled audit at form level you can also see what forms they are currently using. This is to monitor Oracle Application users only.

It is my assumption that if you can get to this Navigation, you have the appropriate responsibilities. Perhaps - and I am not certain on this - you need to turn on Audit Trail. Go to System Profiles and set AuditTrail:Activate=YES. In version 11/8 I believe there is a need to also set a Form Audit value to YES also. (I am on 10.7NCA/7 and so I am not sure on this one.)
