OID 11g Having Component Name in Mixed / Upper Case Letters Can Cause OID Process Related Issues "Could not delete the Instance" (Doc ID 2773010.1)

Last updated on AUGUST 16, 2022

Applies to:

Oracle Internet Directory - Version 11.1.1.9.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

OID 11.1.1.x

In normal scenario, when OID service is stopped, the corresponding running instance entry also will get removed from "cn=osdldapd,cn=subregistrysubentry" container.

But this doesn't happen if the OID component name is in Mixed case or Upper case.

After stopping the OID service, the registry entry still remains there.

Example:

  • Default "oid1" component already exists and running
  • Create a new component named "oidLdap1" by executing "opmnctl createComponent" command
  • Start OID services, both oid1 and oidLdap1 start successfully
  • Stop oidLdap1
    • opmnctl stopproc ias-component=oidLdap1
  • Check the entries under "cn=subregistrysubentry"
    • ldapsearch -h <OID_host> -p <OID_port> -D "cn=orcladmin" -w <password> -b "cn=osdldapd,cn=subregistrysubentry" -s sub "objectclass=*" dn                      

                      cn=asinst_1_oid1_1_<hostname>,cn=osdldapd,cn=subregistrysubentry

                      cn=asinst_1_oidLdap1_1_<hostname>,cn=osdldapd,cn=subregistrysubentry --------------------> not removed

This problem can sometimes contribute to the OID intermittent crash issue discussed in Doc ID 1607479.1
