Error ORA-20100 .tmp Creation For FND_FILE Failed In FA Concurrent Requests


Error ORA-20100 .tmp Creation For FND_FILE Failed In FA Concurrent Requests


When attempting to run a concurrent request such as the 'Generate Asset Trace' program (FATRACE), the following error occurs in the log file:

ERROR
ORA-20100: File o0013319.tmp creation for FND_FILE failed.
You will find more information on the cause of the error in request log.
Error: function fa_asset_trace_pkg.save_output returned failure

Route Case

This error is caused by a concurrent manager setup and privilege related issue in the $APPLPTMP environment variable and UTL_FILE_DIR database parameter.

For example:
There could be one user for the Application Tier (applmgr in group applmgr) that is used by the Concurrent Manager, and one user for the database (oracle in group dba) that is used by the database.

The .tmp file is released by user oracle out by utl_file_dir, but the Concurrent Manager will try to access it with user applmgr.  As they are in different groups, this could be an issue on Linux/Unix environments.

Another environment problem could be that the utl_file_dir first directory is not $APPLPTMP.  Then the Concurrent Manager will check in a directory for a tmp and will not find it.

This error can also be seen in cases were there is more then one instance on the same server, and they share the same directory for $APPLPTMP or $UTL_FILE_DIR.  One instance can try to write to the same temporary file, which is locked by the other one.

SOLUTION

Please do the following:

1.  Change the UTL_FILE_DIR to have the same first value as the $APPLPTMP, ex: /usr/tmp
Change it in the initSID.ora and reboot the database after.

2.  Grant all users read/write permissions to that directory:
chmod 777 /usr/tmp

OPM Subledger Transactions have been transferred to GL

OPM Subledger Transactions have been transferred to GL


In order to transfer transactions to GL if this hasn't be done in Create Accounting itself, don't re-run Create Accounting but the concurrent program 'Transfer Journal Entries to GL'.

This can be done using the Standard Report Submission form :
  OPM Financials > Reports > Standard > Run >> Single Request
  Select 'Transfer Journal Entries to GL' from the LOV

In order to check whether all the transactions have been transferred to GL once Create Accounting has been run in Final Mode and the Transfer to GL program has also been run then run scripts similar to these and check the results.

select EVENT_TYPE_CODE, GL_TRANSFER_STATUS_CODE, count(*) from xla_ae_headers
where ACCOUNTING_DATE>='01-JAN-2011'
and ACCOUNTING_DATE <'01-FEB-2011'
and GL_TRANSFER_STATUS_CODE <>'Y'
and application_id=555
group by EVENT_TYPE_CODE, GL_TRANSFER_STATUS_CODE


select * from xla_ae_headers
where ACCOUNTING_DATE>='01-JAN-2011'
and ACCOUNTING_DATE <'01-FEB-2011'
and GL_TRANSFER_STATUS_CODE <>'Y'

Oracle Support Services – Escalation Process

Oracle Support Services – Escalation Process FAQs


Escalating Issues - The Oracle Support Services Escalation Process
1. When should you escalate a Service Request?
Use the Oracle Support Services Escalation Process when your business critical issue requires a higher level of attention from Oracle Support Services Management.
This process should be utilized when you:
  • encounter a critical roadblock or showstopper to implementation or upgrade plans
  • urgently need to communicate important business issues to managers in Oracle Support Services
  • are dissatisfied with the resolution or response to a Service Request
If a critical problem is encountered, consider the timing of when to escalate an issue. Waiting to escalate may leave little time to research the root cause of the problem and develop the most effective solution. Large, complex problems take time to resolve. Advise Support of the target dates and deadlines you have for critical issues. Document the deadlines in the Service Request, along with a statement of its impact on your business or the risk it poses to your implementation plans.
Requesting escalation will ensure attention on your issue but may not change resolution time depending on the complexity of the issue at hand – support management will be engaged.
This process should not be utilized when
  • the business impact of the issue has increased
  • the business impact of the issue was incorrectly stated initially
If the business impact has changed – or was incorrectly set – you should consider requesting a change of severity rather than escalation of the Service Request. While an escalated Service Request will require both your own management and managers at Oracle to become engaged, resetting the severity can be negotiated directly with the owning Support Analyst.
Raising the severity will ensure increased global focus and co-operation within support, to solve the issue in an appropriate timeframe – Additional technical resources may be engaged.

2. How do I request a Service Request Escalation?

Before calling Oracle Support, review your Service Request and update it if necessary.
  • Is the problem statement correct?
  • Does the Service Request describe the impact to your business or the risk to your implementation plans?
  • Is the Service Request severity level appropriate?
  • If there is a workaround, is the workaround impractical or inappropriate?
  • If there is a business milestone date or an implementation milestone date, is the actual calendar date identified in the Service Request?



Once you have completed the review, should you still need to escalate your Service Request, simply telephone Oracle Support to update your Service Request. When you reach a Dispatcher, provide the Service Request number and ask for the Service Request to be escalated.
You will be asked for a business justification for the Service Request escalation and for yours and your manager’s contact information.
The Support Analyst will then engage the Service Request Escalation Owner who will be responsible for managing your escalation.
Requesting a Service Request escalation via Metalink is also an option; however, the same escalation information must be provided in the Service Request. Please be aware that Service Request updates may not be reviewed immediately and may contribute to delays in acknowledging and handling your escalation request. To avoid delays in handling and acknowledging your escalation request, telephone Support and ask to escalate your critical Service Request.
If you do choose to request escalation via MetaLink please complete and insert the template below – including all ”*-lines”. This will ensure correct visibility and content.





******************* Escalation Request *******************
Reason for escalation, including business impact of the problem that requires escalation
Business or implementation milestone, critical date(s) (milestone date or resolve by date), along with the type of business or implementation milestone
Name of the person requesting the escalation, contact information: phone number, pager, email address
******************* Escalation Request *******************






3. What can you expect after you request a Service Request Escalation?

If you have telephoned to request a Service Request escalation, the Service Request Escalation Owner will make every effort to call you back within 30 minutes. While it is our intention to call back in approximately 30 minutes, there may be occasions when the call back may be delayed. This guideline is provided to help you plan your availability for a call back rather than to guarantee the actual call back time.
The Service Request Escalation Owner is a manager who will work with the Support Analyst owning the Service Request, to review your escalation request. The Escalation Owner will then develop an action plan with you and allocate the appropriate Oracle resources. The action plan will be recorded in the Service Request. The Service Request Escalation Owner will also ensure that the appropriate resources are assigned and all actions are completed. The Action Plan may include tasks for both you and Oracle. Before leaving the call, make sure you know who owns the next action and that you have identified a communication plan. Most escalations are successfully resolved at this level. If the action plan fails to deliver expected results, please contact the Service Request Escalation Owner to review or to escalate the Service Request to the next level if required.





As work on the issue progresses, continue to make sure that your Service Request is a complete record of your actions and concerns. Save time by keeping it up-to-date and ensuring it reflects changes in frequency or urgency. If changes or additions to the Action Plan are made, document these in the Service Request. Documenting each escalation within the Service Request ensures a clear history of the issue and what actions have failed to address it. This documented history assists in evaluating the resources required to resolve this problem.


4. What are the benefits of using the Service Request escalation process?

Use the Service Request Escalation process to ensure Oracle Management attention to your issue, and to facilitate the creation of an Action Plan to resolve the issue with your deadline clearly stated. It also allows Oracle management to effectively and promptly assign the required resources to resolve your problem.
Consider that routinely escalating non-critical issues or consistently overstating the criticality of escalated Service Requests may result in a misunderstanding of the importance or critical impact of a future escalation. Prudent use of the Service Request Escalation process enables Oracle to accurately prioritize your critical issue.

5. De-escalating a Service Request

When a Service Request meets the de-escalation criteria or is no longer critical, it should be de-escalated by contacting the Escalation Owner.
Before de-escalating a Service Request, the Escalation Owner will:
  • confirm with you that the action plan has been completed or the request cannot be fulfilled (i.e., specific functionality is not and will not be available in the Oracle product).
  • document your agreement to de-escalate the Service Request.
