Checks: ORDS schema enablement and URL mapping, REST module status, PL/SQL package validity, all 27 expected endpoint handlers and their ORDS template registrations, execute grants, URL-pattern privileges that intercept xxen_webservices calls and the OAuth client's role grants (catches HTTP 401 caused by pre-existing catch-all privileges), ORDS URL profile configuration with token endpoint validation, OAuth2 client_id/secret availability, and ORDS connection pool sessions. Use this report to diagnose ORDS connectivity issues including OAuth token 404 and 401 errors.   more
