Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 uses cost–based optimization in order to choose the most efficient execution plan for SQL statements.Gather Schema Statistics is the favourite one among Apps DBA’s and developers. Gather Schema Statistics program generates statistics that quantify the data distribution and storage characteristics of tables, columns, indexes, and partitions.
On Oracle Applications 12.1.3,
Gather schema statistics (GSS) is completing with error in our instances.

Solution
***********
1. Please follow Doc ID 375351.1 to unlock the tables:
AQ$_WF_CONTROL_P
FND_CP_GSM_IPC_AQTBL
FND_SOA_JMS_IN
FND_SOA_JMS_OUT
Do the following select from dba_tab_stats to show all tables with locked statistics on them:
SQL> select owner, table_name, stattype_locked from dba_tab_statistics
where stattype_locked is not null and owner not in (‘SYS’);
From DB node run below to unlock tables
SQL>exec dbms_stats.unlock_table_stats(‘APPLSYS’,’AQ$_WF_CONTROL_P’);
SQL>exec dbms_stats.unlock_table_stats(‘APPLSYS’,’FND_CP_GSM_IPC_AQTBL’);
SQL>exec dbms_stats.unlock_table_stats(‘APPLSYS’,’FND_SOA_JMS_IN’);
SQL>exec dbms_stats.unlock_table_stats(‘APPLSYS’,’FND_SOA_JMS_OUT’);
2. Please perform the following action plan from Doc ID 781813.1 :
Find out all duplicates and/or obsolete rows in FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS and delete one of them.
Remember to take backup of the FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS table before deleting any data.
SQL> create table FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS_BKP as select * from FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS;
— Identify duplicate rows
SQL>select table_name, column_name, count(*) from FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS
group by table_name, column_name having count(*) > 1;
— Use above results on the following SQL to delete duplicates
SQL>delete from FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS where table_name = ‘&TABLE_NAME’
and column_name = ‘&COLUMN_NAME’ and rownum=1;
— Use following SQL to delete obsoleted rows
SQL>delete from FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS
where (table_name, column_name) in
( select hc.table_name, hc.column_name
from FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS hc , dba_tab_columns tc
where hc.table_name =’&TABLE_NAME’
and hc.table_name= tc.table_name (+)
and hc.column_name = tc.column_name (+)
and tc.column_name is null );
SQL>commit;
3. Run “Gather Schema Statistics” program again.
