chandrika says July 29, 2008

hi
this is chandrika. i using adadmin to relink. but iam getting following error for particualr products .make: *** [/u02/visappl/msc/11.5.0/bin/MSCXGCAL] Error 1
Done with link of msc executable ‘MSCXGCAL’ on Thu Jul 31 12:55:15 IST 2008

Relink of module “MSCXGCAL” failed.
See error messages above (also recorded in log file) for possible
reasons for the failure. Also, please check that the Unix userid
running adrelink has read, write, and execute permissions
on the directory /u02/visappl/msc/11.5.0/bin,
and that there is sufficient space remaining on the disk partition
containing your Oracle Applications installation.

i have 755 permissions on that bin directory
please give me solution

Ragesh says July 31, 2008

I guess you would have already checked for space and the user perm for the bin directory and the executables in that bin directory…
Can’t give a solution right out but sure can try below to eliminate few of the possibilities.
– Is your Apps instance on local filesystem or NFS and If nfs was there any changes done recently on that filesystem then check with unix admin.
– If this is not the first time you have relinked this executable, see if you can find any logs which indicate if it was ever successfully relinked.
– And also check if any Plan related patches.
– Also see if is this only one execuatble which doesn’t get regenerated in the $MSC_TOP/bin or none of them gets regenerated…. if none then the problem may be some thing to do either permission of that directory[can be some setting at filesystem too] and if only with this one executable then should consider the possiblity of patch changing it…
– Also try linking the executable via command line.
Hope it helps….
