Hey Subir ,

Check the version of CtxValueMgt.class at

$AD_TOP/java/oracle/apps/ad/context and
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ad/context

Also at which ADX patch level you are ?

Apply the latest ADX patch and rerun autoconfig

Let me know if this solve your issue

Regards
Amit

Try this

Remove the classes LdxLibThin.class & LnxLibThin.class from $JAVA_TOP/oracle/sql

Check 473157.1 Autoconfig error ‘Context Value Management Failed’

Tiru says December 31, 2008

Thanks Atul,

I have resolved the issue by re-applying “6372396” on top of 3480000, the issue is with the 3480000 which copies below version
%AD_TOP%/java/oracle/apps/ad/context/CtxValueMgt.class Version 115.36

which is different from file under
%JAVA_TOP%/oracle/apps/ad/context CtxValueMgt.class Version 115.08

applying 6372396 will sync files in both AD_TOP and JAVA_TOP.

Hi Atul,

I couldn’t find resolution for my issue in the above notes.

We have upgraded R 11.5.0.2 Vision instance to R 12.0.4
we have following issues in R 12.0.4 instance.
1 We are unable to do create accounting for AP in R 12.
I found some SLA setups are missing.
Should i have to do those SLA setups manually or should i apply any patch for SLA setups?
2 In OM, Pick release process is throwing Sales Order to backorder even enough Onhand stock is available in inventory.
These two processes have worked fine in R 11.5.0.2 ( prior to upgrade)

Hi Atul,

We are currently on R 12.0.4.

Is it possible to have oracle financials on R 12.0.6 without other modules upgraded.
