Troubleshooting FAQs
In EPM System Release 11.x, you can use the lsinventory command to OPatch to find the release and patches that are
installed in an Oracle Home. For example, enter the following command on one
line:
Windows:
opatch.bat lsinventory -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_35
UNIX/Linux:
./opatch lsinventory -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_35
–invPtrLoc <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/oraInst.loc
If the patch that you apply conflicts with
a previously applied patch, you may receive the following error message when
running OPatch:
Patch(es) <PreviousPatch#>
conflict with the patch currently being installed (<NewPatch#>).
If you continue, patch(es) <PreviousPatch#> will be rolled back and the
new patch (<NewPatch#>) will be installed.
If a merge of the new
patch (<NewPatch#>) and the conflicting patch(es)
(<PreviousPatch#>) is required, contact Oracle Support Services and
request a Merged patch.
This error is returned when one patch
attempts to update a previously patched file. When this conflict happens, you
can either (1) roll back the previous patch and apply
the new patch (this action might be appropriate if the previous patch was not
critical) or (2) request a “merged patch” consisting of the new patch and the
patch that it conflicts with. To request a merged patch, contact your Oracle
Support representative.
This warning
means that the patch being applied is a superset of a patch already on the
deployment and the existing patch will be rolled back. The following snippet
shows the context of this warning.
The following warnings have occurred during OPatch execution:
1) OUI-67078:Interim patch 12345678 is a superset of the patch(es) [77777777]
in OH C:\Hyperion

EPM Architect fails
due to Oracle database connection time out. What should I do?
Below steps may help
1.
Stop EPM Architect Dimension Server
2. Navigate to
the " BPMA_Server_Config.xml" file
(<Middleware
Home>\EPMSystem11R1\products\Foundation\BPMA\AppServer\DimensionServer\ServerEngine\bin)
3.
Take the backup of the BPMA_Server_Config.xml
4. Edit the
logging configuration section of your BPMA_Server_Config.xml file so that
debug-level messages will be logged to the Windows Event Viewer by changing the
logging level from INFO to DEBUG see below.
<log4net debug="false">
<!-- Define some output appenders
-->
<appender
name="ConsoleAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender,log4net"
>
<param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"

</root>
5. Now add the
following XML tags under </Data_Access_Layer>
section of the BPMA_Server_Config.xml
<ConnectionPooling>
<PoolingEnabled>true</PoolingEnabled>
<!--Connection
Lifetime is the maximum life time (in seconds) of the connection. Setting this to 0 disables it.-->
<ConnectionLifetime>0</ConnectionLifetime>
<!--MaximumPoolSize is the maximum number of connections in the
pool.-->
<MaximumPoolSize>100</MaximumPoolSize>
<!--MinimumPoolSize is the minimum number of connections in the
pool.-->
<MinimumPoolSize>1</MinimumPoolSize>
<!--Controls
the enlistment behavior and capabilities of a connection in context of COM+
transactions or System.Transactions. This setting
must be either "dynamic" or "true".-->
<Enlist>true</Enlist>
<!--The
following 5 settings are specific to Oracle database Connection Timeout is the maximum time
(in seconds) to wait for a free connection from the pool.-->
<ConnectionTimeout>15</ConnectionTimeout>
<!--HA Events
enables ODP.NET connection pool to proactively remove connections from the pool
when an Oracle RAC service, service member, database, or node goes down. Works with RAC, Data Guard, or a single
database instance.-->
<HAEvents>false</HAEvents>
<!--Load
Balancing enables ODP.NET connection pool to balance work requests across
Oracle RAC instances based on the load balancing advisory and service
goal.-->
<LoadBalancing>false</LoadBalancing>
<!--PoolSizeDecrement (Decr Pool
Size) is the number of connections that are closed when an excessive number of
established connections are unused.-->
<PoolSizeDecrement>5</PoolSizeDecrement>
<!--PoolSizeIncrement (Incr Pool
Size) is the number of new connections to be created when all connections in
the pool are in use.-->
<PoolSizeIncrement>1</PoolSizeIncrement>
<!--Validate
Connection validates connections coming from the pool.-->
<ValidateConnection>false</ValidateConnection>
<!--The
following 4 settings are specific to MS SQL Server-->
<ConnectionReset>true</ConnectionReset>
<LoadBalanceTimeout>0</LoadBalanceTimeout>
<!--The
following setting can be used to add any custom setting not covered by anything
else.-->
<CustomSetting></CustomSetting>
</ConnectionPooling>
6.
Increase the ConnectionTimeout to some higher value say for
example 60.
7.
Now start the Dimension Server.
8. Go to event
viewer, there should be an event which includes the entire connection string as
per the changes that we did in step 4.
9. Also make
sure that the connection pool settings disappear if you remove the <ConnectionPooling> section from the
BPMA_Server_Config.xml file and
10.
Restart EPM Architect Dimension Server.
