Single-Sign On Configuration Assistant Fails to Update SSO Schema Due to ORA-12154 When Patching OracleAS 10g Identity Management (Doc ID 788269.1)

Last updated on JULY 08, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle Fusion Middleware - Version 10.1.2.2.0 to 10.1.2.3.0 [Release AS10gR2]
Oracle Fusion Middleware - Version 10.1.4.0.1 to 10.1.4.3.0 [Release AS10gR2 to AS10gR3]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

An OracleAS 10g Rel 2 or Oracle Identity Management 10.1.4 generic patchset has been successfully applied. 

Post install, however, it is apparent that the SSO schema has not been updated. For example a SQL query against the app_registry view shows the difference:


An analysis of the installActions.log file shows that while the Single Sign-On Configuration Assistant reported back a "succeeded message", in fact part of it has not run e.g

INSTALL_ACTION: SSOConfigAssistant : Invoking sqlplus

End output from spawned process.
----------------------------------
Configuration assistant "Single Sign-On Configuration Assistant" succeeded

In conclusion, the SSO Configuration Assistant skipped the SSO server patch instead of reporting an exception or halting the patchset installation.
