11 Troubleshooting
11.1 Page not responsing
If you type URL and nothing happens (blank page) then check below things
11.1.1
Fix 1: Try stopping concurrent Manager and then try
su avisr12 (password is welcome1) cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME sqlplus apps/apps (This step is to check that application tier can connect to Database) ./adcmctl.sh stop apps/apps (Dot infront of forward slash)
61
Wait for 5 minutes and then try accessing apps. If issue is still not fixed then go to next step Fix 2
62
11.1.2
Fix 2: Check status of OC4J
(Bounce of OC4J using OPMN should fix issue, if not then check Java Cache Logs and other things given below)
Check application.log
63
If you see error message in logs then restart OC4Js using adopmnctl.sh script
Try again accessing application from client, if you still cant login then go to next step
Check Java Cache log
