FDPSTP failed due to ORA-20100: Error: FND_FILE failure. Unable to create file, oXXXXXXXX.tmp in the directory, /usr/tmp

A TEST instance was already up and running and I created another production clone on the same server/machine. Once the services of both the instances  

The concurrent programs were completing in error and when checked the log files, the following error message was there:

ORACLE error 20100 in FDPSTP

Cause: FDPSTP failed due to ORA-20100: Error: FND_FILE failure. Unable to create file, o0031866.tmp in the directory, /usr/tmp.

You will find more information in the request log.

ORA-06512: at "APPS.FND_FILE", line 417

When investigated, I found that both the instnaces were creating .tmp files in /usr/tmp directory with the same name. This error was being thrown when one instance was trying to create .tmp file and a file with the same name was already created by the other instance.

• To resolve the issue I shutdown both the apps and db services of one instance.
• Created a directory 'temp' in '/usr/tmp' and changed the ownership of this dir to user owner of this instance 
• Logon to database as sysdba
• Create pfile from spfile
• modified UTL_FILE_DIR parameter's first entry from '/usr/tmp' to '/usr/tmp/temp'
• Created spfile from pfile
• Brought up the db and listener
• Now modified the $APPLPTMP variable in TEST_oratest.xml file from '/usr/tmp' to '/usr/tmp/temp'
• Run the autoconfig on apps tier/node
• Brought up the apps services
• Retested the issue and it was resolved 

11gR1 Data Guard: Logs apply on standby is stoped due to currept or incomplete log

Check the logs apply status
Login to standby database (Open read only if not already opened)

SQL> select max(al.sequence#) "Last Seq Recieved", max(lh.sequence#) "Last Seq Applied" from v$archived_log al, v$log_history lh;

Last Seq Recieved	Last Seq Applied
6424	6400

Check the alert_<SID>.log and note that the apply process is stuck while trying to apply log seq. 6441.

Copy log seq. 6441 from primary database to standby and manually try to register the log.

SQL> alter database register physical logfile '<fullpath/filename>';

OR

SQL> alter database register or replace physical logfile '<fullpath/filename>';

If this does not resolve the issue then do the following:

SQL> shutdown immediate
SQL> startup nomount
SQL> alter database mount standby database;
SQL> alter database recover automatic standby database;

Check the alert_<SID>.log and note that the logs apply has been started.
Wait for the recovery to finish and then cancel.
