EBS - Manually Registering Nodes

If autoconfig somehow fails to register or does not register/remove , you can manually register/remove nodes,servers and systems using fnd_net_services package. Note that, this procedure method should not be the preferred method for adding/removing the nodes and servers. It should be used under certain circumstances. (For example : Cloning a TEST instance and there is no time to investigate why autoconfig and postclone do not register the db node)

Fnd_net_services package has following functions and procedures.

Fnd_net_service package spec defition in R11:

procedure register_dbnode(SystemName varchar2,
ServerName varchar2,
SystemOwner varchar2,
SystemCSINumber varchar2,
DatabaseName varchar2,
InstanceName varchar2,
InstanceNumber varchar2,

procedure remove_dbNode ( SystemName in varchar2,

);

procedure remove_AppNode ( SystemName in varchar2,
ServerName in varchar2
);

procedure remove_Server ( SystemName in varchar2,

);

procedure remove_System ( SystemName in varchar2 );

procedure show ( SystemName in varchar2);

procedure show_tnsalias ( p_info in varchar2,
p_tns_alias_guid in raw );
end FND_NET_SERVICES;/


Example: Suppose you cloned the PROD instance as TEST instance. Clone was successful, but you are not able to login the new instance. You query the fnd_nodes table and see that db node is not registered..
connect as apps user, run the fnd_net_services.register_dbnode procedure as follows;

EXEC fnd_net_services.register_dbnode('TEST',
'hosterman_TEST_DB',
'Oracle Apps',
'N/A',
'TEST',
'TEST',
'0',
'1531',
'N',
'TEST',
'TEST_REMOTE',
'TEST_LOCAL',
'uygulama',
'domainerman.com.tr',
'/prodapp/TEST/testdb/10.2.0',
'db1020',
'APPS-DB',
'',
'TEST',
'HP-UX',
'',
'',
'',
'',
'',
'',
'',
''
);

This will register hosterman as db node..
