Disable it
sqlplus apps/apps @$AD_TOP/patch/115/sql/adsetmmd.sql DISABLE
Bounce all the services
$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adopmnctl.sh stopall $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adopmnctl.sh startall

How to check free space in Oracle Tablespace
select sum(BYTES/1024/1024) from dba_free_space where TABLESPACE_NAME like '&1' ;
Add the space
alter tablespace <tablespace name> add datafile '+DATA' size 1000M;
(3) Guest user may be end-dated
SELECT user_name,TO_CHAR(start_date,'DD-MON-YYYY'), TO_CHAR(end_date,'DD-MON-YYYY') FROM FND_USER WHERE user_name = 'GUEST';
If it is end dated, remove it and bounce the services
You might also want to check if GUEST user is working fine
select fnd_web_sec.validate_login('GUEST','ORACLE') from dual;
(4) The profile Initialization SQL Statement — Custom may be wrongly set. Please check the oracle profile option at the site level,user level

and p.profile_option_name = n.profile_option_name
and upper(n.user_profile_option_name) like upper('%&profile_name%')
and v.level_id= &LEVEL;
(5) Look for invalid in the database

Sometimes while using IE8 Browser you may get the below error instead of the login page
‘Unable To Authenticate Session”
You may see such issue on IE9 also.
Possible Solution 1 : One solution which is documented in the Oracle note id can help ( R12: Using IE8 to access two EBS Instances runs in error “Unable To Authenticate Session” [ID 1098563.1])
According to it , the new ‘Session Merging’ feature within IE8 and IE9 is creating the issue and can be easily tackled by adding -noframemerging parameter.
Right click on your IE icon and add -noframemerging to the end of the link in the Target field e.g.”C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe” -noframemerging (shown below)
Possible Solution 2 : Clearing the Cache helped me many times in getting through these errors while working on EBS with IE browsers.
A) Go to Tools >Internet Options > Click on delete browsing Cache (shown below)
B) Go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Settings > Delete temp files > OK (shown below)
After clearing the cache, Close the browser, start again and try opening the EBS link.

When user try to login to E-Business Suit R12.*.*. with two different instances in same browser. Suddenly error will be generated as ‘Unable to authenticate session‘.
If you receive an ‘Unable to authenticate session’ error in your browser when running multiple sessions using the JRE Plugin architectuire, set the -noframemerging option as outlined in the Multiple Oracle E-Business Suite Java Sessions (JRE Plugin).
Create a new IE icon, adding the -noframemerging parameter as follows:
Start > Program Files
Right-click on the Internet Explorer icon and select Properties
Add -noframemerging to the end of the link in the Target field. For example:
“C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe” -noframemerging or
“C:Program Files (x86)Internet Exploreriexplore.exe” -noframemerging
Click the OK button to close the window.
This icon may then be copied to the desktop if desired.
Step to clear browser cache.
If this does not resolve the problem, or you are not running multiple sessions, clear your browser cache by deleting the ‘Temporary Internet Files’ as follows:
👉 Stop all Browser sessions.
👉 Tools > Internet Options > General (tab) > Browsing History > Delete (button).
👉 Start a new Browser session and logon to the Instance.
Note: Oracle recommend that Oracle E-Business Suite is run through the ‘Trusted Sites’ zone, with a ‘Medium’ Security Setting.
