Unable to login

When users are trying to login into oracle applications they are unable to login.
It shows the following error
oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: Application: FND, Message Name: SQL_PLSQL_ERROR. Tokens: ROUTINE = createSession(int)(userId=6,sessionMode='null','4DE538960900125FE040A8C00A016CCC24684017652941783825214968716732'); REASON = java.sql.SQLException: ORA-20001: Oracle error -20160: ORA-20160: Encountered an error while getting the ORACLE user account for your concurrent request.

O.S. - HP-UX

Solution:
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:

Disable the trigger 'ALR_FND_USER_UAR' using sqlplus :

- SQL> alter trigger ALR_FND_USER_UAR disable;

- Retest Login.


Metalink suggest the following doc id's solution:
1) Note:388695.1
2) Note:357998.1
And Bouncing the Apache could resolve the error in some cases.
