+==== Find out what the apps password is if it has been forgotten ====
+<code>
+Below steps to get the forgotten apps user password in oracle apps R12.
+Step 1:  Connect to sys user
+SQL> show user
+USER is "SYS"
+Step 2:  Create function to know the encrypted password
+SQL> create FUNCTION apps.decrypt_pin_func(in_chr_key IN VARCHAR2,in_chr_encrypted_pin IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'oracle.apps.fnd.security.WebSessionManagerProc.decrypt(java.lang.String,java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
+/
+Function created.
+Step 3:  Query for password
+SQL> set linesize 200 long 300
+SQL> select ENCRYPTED_FOUNDATION_PASSWORD from apps.fnd_user where USER_NAME='GUEST';
+ENCRYPTED_FOUNDATION_PASSWORD

+Step 4:  Apps password using encrypted guest password
+SQL> SELECT apps.decrypt_pin_func('GUEST/ORACLE','ZGC679A64D8394F23E12CA4EB288F264FC09EBC9144C06181E921F88A972E231E9B530E7810DE42AC6103FC3CCD317CA3391') from dual;

+==== Restoring apps and applsys passwords after being changed at database level ====
+  * [[https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=1306938.1|FNDCPASS Troubleshooting Guide For Login and Changing Applications Passwords (Doc ID 1306938.1)]]
+These user passwords must be changed using FNDCPASS otherwise they (and the Application) will become unusabe.
+If FNDCPASS does not work but you think it should (ie: you're pretty sure the password is correct), check the sec_case_sensitive parameter! It should be false for EBS.
+Trying to change the password without using FNDCPASS will fail

+It used to be possible to recover the situation by updating the fnd_oracle_userid table with a known encrypted password
+<code>
+alter user apps identified by apps account unlock;
+update apps.fnd_oracle_userid
+set    encrypted_oracle_password ='ZGA34EA20B5C4C9726CC95AA9D49EA4DBA8EDB705CB7673E645EED570D5447161491D78D444554655B87486EF537ED9843C8'
+where  oracle_username in ('APPS','APPLSYS');
+</code>
+ but this doesn't seem to work any more.
+A way that still works (if there is no table-level backup), is to export the tables from a good database and import them into the problem database.
+The passwords will obviously then be the same as those on the source database.
+  * Export tables from a good database
+<code>
+expdp \'system/password@EBSP\' directory=data_pump_dir tables="applsys.fnd_user, applsys.fnd_oracle_userid" dumpfile=fnd_passwords.dmp logfile=expdp_fnd_passwords.log exclude=statistics
+</code>
+  * scp the dumpfile over to the bad database
+  * Import the dumpfile into the bad database
+<code>
+impdp \'system/password@EBSA\' directory=data_pump_dir dumpfile=fnd_passwords.dmp logfile=impdp_fnd_passwords.log table_exists_action=replace
+</code>
+  * Change the password for apps and applsys in the database to match those of the good database
+<code>
+alter user apps identified by "password" account unlock;
+alter user applsys identified by "password" account unlock;
+</code>
+  * Change the password using FNDCPASS and check the logfile

+==== Stuff requested by Oracle ====
+Include this info when creating a technical SR
+includes the version / release of Oracle Applications (fnd_product_groups)
+<code>
+conn apps/apps
+set lines 1000
+col release_name for a20
+col codelevel    for a10
+select release_name from fnd_product_groups;
+select version from v$instance;
+select abbreviation, codelevel from ad_trackable_entities where abbreviation in ('txk','ad');
+</code>
+As detailed in SRDC - Data Collection for E-Business Suite Cloning / Rapid Cloning Issues ( Doc ID 2108567.1 ) above, these things do not necessarily work properly. For example, TWO_TASK is not defined on the DB Tier so:
+<code>
+TWO_TASK=$ORACLE_SID
+</code>
+before running the zip command here. But then it still won't work if you used adcfgclone.pl with soemthing other than DBTier as a parameter (like me as I used Section 4, Option 6 in the Cloning document).
+<code>
+. On the target database tier, issue the following zip command:
+$ zip -r /tmp/$TWO_TASK'_'`uname -n`_`date +%m%d%y.%H%M`_DB_Clone_logs.zip \
+/tmp/adcfgclone_*.res \
+/tmp/adcfgclone_*.err \
+$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/temp/portpool.lst \
+$ORACLE_HOME/clone/bin/CloneContext_*.log \

+$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/log/$CONTEXT_NAME/NetServiceHandler.log \
+$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/log/$CONTEXT_NAME/adcrdb_*.txt
+</code>
+The following command works unmodified.
+<code>
+. On the target application tier, issue the following zip command:
+$ zip -r /tmp/$TWO_TASK'_'`uname -n`_`date +%m%d%y.%H%M`_APP_Clone_logs.zip \
+/tmp/adcfgclone_*.res \
+/tmp/adcfgclone_*.err \
+$COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/CloneContext_*.log \

+$LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/install/make_*.log \
+$LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.2/install/make_*.log \
+$LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.2/network/apps_*.log
+</code>
+Then they request you do this...
+<code>
+. Download and run the Clone Log Parser.
+This is a tool used to consolidate error information from various Rapidclone related log files into an HTML report.
+A single cloning session may generate up to a dozen separate log files, the Log Parser allows you to view relevant snippets of each log at one time.
+Additionally the Log Parser will do some basic configuration and health checks of the environment and also may provide leads to solving problems.
+Review note EBS Clone Log Parser Utility (Rapid Clone 11i,12.0, 12.1)[VIDEO] ( Doc ID 1447553.1 ).
+</code>
+Following the instructions in that document, it asks you to unset PERL5LIB but then perl cannot find strict.pm!
+=== RDA ===
+  * Download latest RDA engine - [[https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=314422.1|Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) - Getting Started (Doc ID 314422.1)]]
+Don't forget Database tier can be a different platform from the Apps tier so 2 versions may be needed (one AIX and one Linux?)!
+===== RDA - Health Check / Validation Engine Guide (Doc ID 250262.1) =====
+<code>
+In order to check your OS prerequisites in automatic way please use Note 250262.1 RDA 4 - Health Check / Validation Engine Guide .
+After following “Installation Instructions” please follow “Instructions for UNIX type operating systems”.
