Oracle Apps R12 - Concurrent Program terminated by signal 25

Concurrent Program terminated by signal 25

Issue
Concurrent program getting errored with emsg:was terminated by signal 25

Solution
Concurrent program accessing reports.log in $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG will get above error if reports.log file size is more than 2 GB.

cd $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG
mv reports.log reports.log_bkup
touch reports.log

This File Size limit of 2 GB applies to any log/out file generated by EBS process. Any log/out file limit of 2 GB has been reached then corresponding process/program will get error out. This applicable for DB/Apps Listener as well.

You can access root or cdb or pdb through sqlplus connect command or alter session set container

conn system/****@db12c - connect to cdb database

conn system/****@db12p - connect to pdb database

conn system/****@"localhost:1521/db12p - connect to pdb database

SQL> alter session set container=cdb$root; - command to set root container
