550 5.7.1 Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed

Recently we configured a BigIP virtual for SMTP called smtp.justanexample.com

Whenever I tried sending mail through this it would complain:

# telnet smtp.justanexample.com 25

Trying 192.168.10.201...

Connected to smtp.justanexample.com
Escape character is '^]'.

220 smtp1.justanexample.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8; Mon, 15 Apr 2013 22:34:54 -0400

Error Details

Error Codes: U9KP7Q94    

From OTM install guide In the $OBIEE_DATA/web/config/ directory, edit the instanceconfig.xml as follows:

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: hex to raw conversion error ORA-06512: at "APPS.WF_EVENT", line 3600

Akhilesh pinged me today and told me that autoconfig was not working on a newly upgraded R12 instance.  It was failing with these errors:

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied for glogdba after cloning OTM

After cloning OTM database and instance, when we started the services and tried accessing

Configuration and Administration > Cluster Management > Scalability Overview, we got this error in glog.exception.log

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

I was able to diagnose that this was coming for glogdba user by switching on auditing on the database.

The encrypted password was correct for glogdba in glog.properties.

Query for CPU patches

Here's my updated query to identify the CPU patches (April 2011 - October 2012) applied on your 11i or R12 instance:

column BUG format a8;

column PATCH format a60;

set linesize 100;

set pagesize 200;

select b.bug_number BUG, b.LAST_UPDATE_DATE LDATE, decode

(bug_number,

14321237, 'Oct 2012 CPU Patch for R12.1 + ATG_PF.B.Delta3',

14321239, 'Oct 2012 CPU Patch for R12.0.6',

14321240, 'Oct 2012 CPU Patch for 11i+RUP7',

Query to check CPU patch level

After moving from CPU patches to PSU patches for Database, we no longer get the CPU information from the query:

SQL> select comments from registry$history;

SQL> select comments from registry$history;
