Upgrade 12.1.3: PO Document Approval Manager (POXCON), Receiving Transaction Manager (RCVOLTM) and INV Remote Procedure Manager (INCTM) Do Not Start / Die After Restart (Doc ID 1413393.1)




APPLIES TO:
Oracle Inventory Management - Version 12.1.3 and later
Oracle Purchasing - Version 12.1.3 and later
Oracle iProcurement - Version 12.1.3 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Executable:POXCON - PO Document Approval Manager Program
Executable:RCVOLTM - Receiving Transaction Manager
Executable:INCTM - Inventory Remote Procedure Manager

SYMPTOMS
After upgrading to 12.1.3 the PO Document Approval Manager dies immediately after starting it up. The same behavior is observed with the Receiving Transaction Manager.
In the Administer Concurrent Manager form, the following is shown:
Manager
Actual
Target
INV Remote Procedure Manager
0
5
PO Document Approval Manager
0
3
Receiving Transaction Manager
0
3
The following sql can be used to check the managers:
Select CONCURRENT_QUEUE_ID, USER_CONCURRENT_QUEUE_NAME, DESCRIPTION, CONCURRENT_QUEUE_NAME, ENABLED_FLAG, RUNNING_PROCESSES, TARGET_PROCESSES
from FND_CONCURRENT_QUEUES_VL
where CONCURRENT_QUEUE_NAME in ('INVMGR','PODAMGR','RCVOLTM');

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Using a System Administrator responsibility navigate to Concurrent > Manager > Administer.
2. Query up the PO Document Approval Manager and activate it.
3. The PO Document Approval Manager dies immediately.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The issue can also occur where only one of the transaction managers above (for example only Receiving Transaction Manager) does not start.  It is also possible to see the transaction manager status field with value 'System Hold Fix Manager before resetting counters'
NOTE: This can address issue where receiving related transactions in rcv_transaction_interface become stuck in ONLINE PENDING status
The following additional symptoms may be encountered:
The following error may be encountered:
Routine AFPEIM encountered an error while starting concurrent manager RCVOLTM.
The manager is not able to start properly.
The manager has been put on a SYSTEM HOLD to allow the system administrator to address the issue.
When addressed, the "Fixed" button on the Administer Managers screen can be pressed to restart the manager.

iProcurement may display an error like the following:

'The transaction could not be completed successfully. Please contact the system administrator for assistance.'  This can occur in iProcurement after patching, and after the executables are compiled and the receiving transaction manager is restarted.

In the  Inventory application the Inventory transaction worker is erring for Internal Orders. There is no information in the log file and the output is blank.

Error messages at mtl_transaction_interface is showing:
Error code : Transaction processor error
Error explanation: o concurrent manager is defined to process this request, so it cannot be processed.
Contact your system administrator to define a concurrent manager to process this request or to verify that exist

when the issue above happens, the receiving transaction manager shows:
Actual 0
Target - a given number, for example 20 or 30
Running  null 

The Oracle Application Manager (OAM) may show an error like the following:
Manager Name
Program RCVTPO
User       <USERNAME>
Action 1|Unable to remove timed-out m
Message ORA-25263: no message in queue APPLSYS.FND_CP_TM_AQ with message ID FBB4C77B44736383E04347001CAC78D3 ORA-25228: timeout or end-of-fetch during message dequeue from APPLSYS.FND_CP_TM_RET_AQ
Function fnd_trn_queue.send_message
Elapsed Time(1/100sec) 0
 Manager log may show:

Application Object Library: Concurrent Processing version 11.5

13-MAY-2015 11:40:28 : Transaction Manager has shutdown.

CAUSE
In afptm.lc, monitor_self_exit, a cursor "cursor" is defined static.  In R12.main, execution silently fails.
SOLUTION
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. Download and review the readme and prerequisites for Patch 19402657:R12.FND.B "THE INVENTORY REMOTE PROCEDURE MANAGER WON'T START".

2. Ensure that you have taken a backup of your system before applying the recommended patch.

3. Apply the patch in a test environment where the issue occurs.

4. Confirm the following file version:

       afptm.lc 120.6.12010000.5

You can use a Unix command like the following:
       strings $FND_TOP/bin/FNDTMTST | grep afptm.lc | grep Header
       OR
       adident Header $FND_TOP/lib/afptm.*

or Run Diagnostics: Apps Check report for Application =  Application Object Library
5. After the patch run adrelink:
cd $PO_TOP/bin
adrelink.sh force=y ranlib=y "PO RCVOLTM"
adrelink.sh force=y ranlib=y "PO POXCON"
6. Bounce the concurrent managers to instantiate the newly patched code.

7. Retest the issue.

8. Migrate the solution as appropriate to other environments.
Also the following query can be used to determine the file version:

select af.filename , afv.version_segment1
||'.'||afv.version_segment2
||'.'||max(to_number(substr(afv.version, decode(instr(afv.version, '.', 1, 2), 0, null, instr(afv.version, '.', 1, 2) + 1)
, instr(afv.version, '.', 1, 3) - 1 - instr(afv.version, '.', 1, 2))))
||'.'||max(to_number(substr(afv.version, decode(instr(afv.version, '.', 1, 3), 0, null, instr(afv.version, '.', 1, 3) + 1)))) version
from ad_files af, ad_file_versions afv
where af.file_id = afv.file_id
and (afv.version_segment1+afv.version_segment2/power(10,length(afv.version_segment2))) =
(select max(afv1.version_segment1+afv1.version_segment2/power(10,length(afv1.version_segment2)))
from ad_files af1, ad_file_versions afv1
where af1.app_short_name = af.app_short_name
and af1.subdir = af.subdir
and af1.filename = af.filename
and af1.file_id = afv1.file_id)
and af.filename in ('afptm.o')
group by af.filename, afv.version_segment1, afv.version_segment2;
