Troubleshooting WF mailer issue

After EBS migrated to OCI and upgraded to Rel 12.2.10, users were complaining that they were not receiving emails

2. Executed $FND_TOP/sql/wfmlrdbg.sql for concerned notification (e.g161904398) as documented in the following note:

How to Run Script wfmlrdbg.sql and Collect its Output?( Doc ID 1364300.1 )

The output of wfmlrdbg.sql shows that REPLYTO is set incorrectly as NoReplyTO
This needs to be specified in email format.
Please change this to NoReplyTo@N0Domain.com and save.

Bounce the mailer and retest.

3. Validated the TEST mailer from EBS Workflow Front End

a) In the Service Components page for notification mailers in Oracle Applications Manager, select the Workflow Notification Mailer service component and click the View Details button > Click the Test Mailer button. Note: The test page lets you send a test e-mail to a workflow role.

b) In the Recipient Role field, select your user name from the list of values. Note: Only workflow roles with a notification preference set to receive e-mail and an e-mail address defined are included in the list of values for this field.

c) Click the Send Test Message button. In your preferred mail client, verify that the e-mail account associated with this e-mail address receives the test e-mail.

d) If you receive e-mail, then “workflow notification mailer” is working properly, else proceed with next step.

NOTE: Initially notification was not sent as MAIL_STATUS was NULL because notification_preference was set to QUERY for that username as seen in wfmlrdbg O/P.

Tested with TEST notification by sending it another user whose notification_preference is set to MAILHTML and test notifications were received by user.
Requested user to test with PO notification and it worked

How to enable CUPS Debugging on Oracle Linux? (Doc ID 1583923.1)

Concurrent Manager Jobs Piling up due to Print Queues

Cups logs show below error. “0” bytes were unable to recognized by cups and hence threw below error thus creating stale printer queues at the OS level

D [24/Aug/2022:05:08:40 -0700] [Job 12114] Started filter pdftops (PID 18663)

D [24/Aug/2022:05:08:40 -0700] [Job 12114] Started filter pstops (PID 18664)

D [24/Aug/2022:05:08:40 -0700] [Job 12114] The print file is empty.

D [24/Aug/2022:05:08:40 -0700] [Job 12114] PID 18663 (pdftops) stopped with status 99!

D [24/Aug/2022:05:08:40 -0700] [Job 12114] PID 18664 (pstops) stopped with status 1!

2. For “2” days after we went live on EBS 12.2.10 on OCI as the printer queue jobs used to touch “500” number which included these stale stopped “Filter Failed” printer queues , applications stopped responding. The “MaxJobs” default settings(500) in cups configuration that made the application/concurrent requests to get stalled.

As root user: “lpstat -o | wc -l” showed 500

Quick Workaround(cancel -a was throwing forbidden error hence followed below commands as “root” user)

cd /var/spool/cups/;

ls -ltr |wc -l;

rm * ; systemctl

restart cups.service

3. Set the “MaxJobs” in cupds.conf . Please note setting “MaxJobs=0” makes it unlimited, if you wish to. By default, MAxJobs=500(if nothing is set)

grep -i max cupsd.conf

MaxLogSize 2000000000

MaxJobs 2000

4. Restarted Cups services

systemctl restart cups.service
