Oracle JCS - Weblogic server Issue Resolution

Error/Issue

Admin server is working but other servers are not working in JCS weblogic server.
Below error is given in the weblogic server admin output.

WARNING: Can not connect DB with URL jdbc:oracle:thin:@//xxx:1526/TEST.5679382404.oraclecloud.internal
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-28001: the password has expired

at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:664)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:247)

Root Cause

Database user passwords have been expired

Resolution

Connect to cdb using SQLPLUS <USERNAME>/<PASSWORD>

ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER= <PDB1>;

SELECT username, account_status from CDB_USERS where ACCOUNT_STATUS like 'EXP%' and username like '%SP%';

SP549992516_STB
SP549992516_MDS
SP549992516_OPSS
SP549992516_IAU_APPEND
SP549992516_IAU_VIEWER

You will get output of all the users with account expired. Now follow one of the below solution.

1) One solution is to alter the OPSS database schema so the password is the same as specified when the Infrastructure domain was configured.

alter user <schema prefix>_OPSS identified by <original_pwd_here>;
By default the schema password is set to Weblogic Administrator password during the provisioning of the Oracle Java Cloud Service instance.
Altering the database user in this way will reactivate the account if it has expired. If the original password is used, no action is required to reconfigure JPS and the OPSS jdbc datasource (as shown below).

OR

2) You follow the note below to change the User password (only if you do not know the password):

<FMW 12c Infrastructure AdminServer / NodeManager Fail to Start : ORA-28001: password has expired or ORA-01017: invalid username/password; ( Note 1682942.1 )>

Oracle DBCS Backup Error Resolution

Error

Below error is given when login to the DBCS.

login as: opc
Authenticating with public key "key"
Passphrase for key "key":
*** OBKUP::ERROR INFO ***
OBKUP::ERROR Cannot complete the Archivelogs Backup to Cloud Storage
OBKUP::ERROR KBHS-00715 HTTP CONNECTION ERROR
OBKUP::ERROR An http error was detected please verify your connectivity
*** OBKUP::ERROR END ***

Root Cause

Cloud account password of user xyz@yyyy.com has been changed.

Resolution

As root user, create a file to hold backup configuration:
# vi /tmp/bkp.conf

The contents of file should be:

bkup_cfg_files=yes
bkup_disk=yes
bkup_disk_recovery_window=7
bkup_oss=yes
bkup_oss_recovery_window=30
bkup_oss_url=https://xxx.storage.oraclecloud.com/v1/Storage-xxx/DBaaS
bkup_oss_user=xyz@yyyy.com
bkup_oss_passwd=actualPassword

(Replace actualPassword with correct password of user xyz@yyyy.com)

Change permission on this file as:
# chmod 0600 /tmp/bkp.conf

Now, execute the backup assistant as below
# /var/opt/oracle/ocde/assistants/bkup/bkup -cfg /tmp/bkp.conf

Oracle APEX, ORDS Deployment on Apache Tomcat

Steps of Oracle APEX, ORDS Deployment on Apache Tomcat

1. Install Oracle Database

2. Create a tablespace.

CREATE TABLESPACE APEX_DATA DATAFILE '/u01/APEX/db/data/apex_001.dbf' SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1M;

3. Download Oracle appex and unzip ( Also ORACLE_HOME/apex directory can be used )

sqlplus / as sysda

SQL> -- @apexins.sql tablespace_apex tablespace_files tablespace_temp images
SQL>
SQL> @apexins.sql APEX_DATA APEX_DATA TEMP /i/

SQL> @apxchpwd.sql

SQL> @apex_rest_config.sql

SQL> @apex_epg_config.sql /u01/APEX/db/11.2.0

SQL> ALTER USER ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

Check the port setting for XML DB Protocol Server.

SQL> SELECT DBMS_XDB.gethttpport FROM DUAL;

GETHTTPPORT
-----------
          0

1 row selected.

SQL>

If it is set to "0", you will need to set it to a non-zero value to enable it.

SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.sethttpport(8080);

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

4. Check the APEX URL is working fine. http://<server-name>:<port>/apex

5. Download and unzip Apache Tomcat

# su - tomcat

export JAVA_HOME=/home/tomcat/jdk1.8.0_77
export CATALINA_HOME=/home/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.68
export CATALINA_BASE=$CATALINA_HOME

Start and stop Tomcat using the following scripts.

$ $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
$ $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh


6. Configure ORDS using following steps.

ALTER USER APEX_LISTENER IDENTIFIED BY manager#123 ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
ALTER USER APEX_PUBLIC_USER IDENTIFIED BY manager#123 ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
ALTER USER APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER IDENTIFIED BY manager#123 ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

-- The next one will fail if you've never installed ORDS before. Ignore errors.
ALTER USER ORDS_PUBLIC_USER IDENTIFIED BY manager#123 ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

# su - tomcat
$ mkdir /home/tomcat/ords
$ cd /home/tomcat/ords
$ unzip /tmp/ords.3.0.11.180.12.34.zip /home/tomcat/ords

7. Deploy on Tomcat using following steps.

Copy the APEX images to the Tomcat "webapps" directory.

$ mkdir $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/i/
$ cp -R /home/oraapex/apex/images/* $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/i/
Copy the "ords.war" file to the Tomcat "webapps" directory.

Relevance to the Issue 

Script failed because the following ports weren't available:

AdminServer(7021),oacore_server1(7221),forms_server1(7421),oafm_server1(7621),forms-c4ws_server1(7821)

Cause 

Clone was configured with a public ip address in /etc/hosts.

Solution 

Generally, a public ip address is not bindable in cloud setup.
Only private ip addresses are bindable.

1. Ensure a valid backup exists of the /etc/hosts file.
2. Configure /etc/hosts with PRIVATE ip addresse and redo the application tier cloning.
