What Happens When You Use ALTER USER Command To Change EBS User Passwords

By -
The Problem with ALTER USER When you change a EBS applicatation user's password directly at the database level using the ALTER USER command: The new password is updated only in the database. The password remains unchanged in the EBS application's FND tables . Why This Matters The FND tables store encrypted versions of user passwords, and they must be synchronized with the database. If the passwords between the FND tables and the database are out of sync: The EBS application won't recognize the new password. Login failures occur. Application functionality is disrupted. The Correct Approach To avoid these issues, passwords should always be changed through: The  EBS application  itself, or The  FNDCPASS utility . Using these methods ensures that: The database password is updated. The corresponding encrypted password in the FND tables is also updated.

How to Verify Standby Database Sync with Primary Database in 19c

By -
  To check if your standby database is in sync with the primary database, follow these steps: 1.      Compare Sequence Numbers : Look at the latest sequence number generated on the primary database and the latest sequence number applied on the standby database. 2.      Check for Gaps : Ensure there are no missing sequence numbers on the standby database. The sequence numbers on both databases should match, and there should be no gaps in the sequence on the standby database. If they do match and there are no gaps, the databases are in sync. Verifying the Status of Primary and Standby Databases in Oracle On the Primary Server First, log in to the primary server and run the following SQL query to check the status: Copy Select name,open_mode,database_role from v$database; On the Standby Server Log in to the standby server and execute the same SQL query: Copy Select name,open_mode,database_role from v$datab...
