Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Disable certain users from login to database while applying H
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 :
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 ?

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.
