Hi Gurus,
Thanks for replying to my qn.
"Startup Database in Restricted mode" will not work (for more details, pls
refer to the email below).
The following solutions :
1. Database ON LOGON Trigger => don't know whether it will work
2. Lock Database Account => I am going to use this solution.
3. Change Database Account Password => I believe it will work
In our Oracle HR, we also support oracle client-server forms/reports, so
I've to disable their accounts so that they do not access the HR database
using sqlplus/forms/reports while I am applying patches.
Regds,
Catherine

As you are talking of Oracle Apps, NONE of the suggested
solutions :
1. Database ON LOGON Trigger
2. Lock Database Account
3. Change Database Account Password
4. Startup Database in Restricted mode
would work.
The users connect to the Database in the APPS schema -- this
is the
"universal"
schema that Oracle Apps uses. The Patch requires APPS so
Restricted
doesn't
help (unless you grant Restricted to APPS in which case all
the users can
logon).
Ditto about locking, changing password or writing a trigger
on the APPS
schema.
What you can do are :
1. Shutdown the Apache server for the Self-Service Modules
2. Shutdown the Forms server for the Forms Module
3. Shutdown the Concurrent Managers.
All of the above would affect ALL users.
Alternatively, login to the Application as the System
Administrator user
and
change the Application User Passwords for the users whom you
want disabled.
Change the passwords back to a default (WELCOME) later.
However, what you SHOULD do, per Oracle Support, is 1.
Shutdown 2. Shutdown
3. Shutdown
as I have listed above.
If you are familiar with Oracle Applications Patching and
are comfortable
with reading
the Patch drivers, you can figure out what database objects
are being
modified/updated/created
and what Forms/Reports/HTML etc files are being
modified/created by the
patch.
Then you can take an intelligent decision .... should you
allow users to
logon when
applying the patch ?

Subject: Disable certain users from login to
database while applying
Human
Hi Gurus,
I need to disable certain users from login to database while
I apply the
Human Resources Patches for our Oracle HR 11i Applications.
Which is the best way to do it ? Should I write on-logon
trigger to disable
or should I take away their privileges to logon to
report/forms/sqlplus ?
What about the rest of the DBA Applications administrator ?
What do U guys
do to solve the dead-lock problem (If my users access the HR
tables while I
apply the patches, I will encounter dead-lock problem) ?
Please advise. Thanks.
Regds,
New Bee
