Backup strategy for ebs R12?

Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding to backup strategy for ebs R12.
Let's say that we have one application server and one database server running, and we would like to have a backup periodically for both servers.
This means that we want to have the exactly same backup of configurations and other files for the application server and the database server in case of any fatal crashes in the servers.
I went through some discussion threads and it seems common way is to use RMAN for the data of database and file system copy for application and database servers. But, I would like to know what's the best way or recommended way for the backup strategy for data and server files of Oracle e-business suite.
Do you guys have any suggestion for this?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
SH

Hi SH;
I suggest check first our previous discussion
backup and recovery startegy for EBS
Re: Backup System
Backup Policy for EBS can
If you make search you can find many other thread which is mention same question
For your issue basicly what we do
1. For our prod db, if possible we take weekly cold backup(sunday) and take rman backup also daily(full backup, but it depends system you can prefer to take incremental)
2. For our system we take file system backup weekly(OS base)
3. For application we take backup every sunday(for some system 15 days or 30 days period). The most important point here if your system prod, and if you need to apply patch to your system you need to have valid backup and also need backup for after patching
One other important issue is we run preclone sh before take backup for apps and db tier

  • Long-term  retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g

    Hello,
    I need design a Archivelog, Level 0 and Level 1 long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g, It must be based in Rman with tapes.
    ¿Somebody could tell me what it's the best option to configure long-term retention backups in Oracle?, "CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 1825 DAYS;" It's posibble ?
    Regards and thanks in advance

    Hello;
    RECOVERY WINDOW is an integer so yes its possible. Does it make sense?
    Later My bad, this is Oracle 11 only ( the gavinsoorma link ) . Getting harder and harder to think about 10. Don't think I would use RECOVERY WINDOW.
    I would let the tape backup system handle the retention of your rman backups.
    Using crosscheck and delete expired commands you can keep the catalog current with the available backups on tape.
    Oracle 10
    Keeping a Long-Term Backup: Example
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmbackp.htm#i1006840
    http://web.njit.edu/info/oracle/DOC/backup.102/b14191/advmaint005.htm
    Oracle 11
    If you want to keep 5 years worth of backups I might just use KEEP specific date using the UNTIL TIME clause :
    keep until time 'sysdate+1825'More info :
    RMAN KEEP FOREVER, KEEP UNTIL TIME and FORCE commands

  • Recommendation for setting up Data Guard for EBS R12 12.1.3

    Hello Experts,
    I would like to get some experts opinion and recommendation on setting up Data GUARD for EBS R12.1.3 running on Linux based systems.
    Firstly I would wanna let you all know that I am just geek in this subject matter so do excuse me for any mistakes.
    While we are planning on setting up Data Gurad fro R12 what are the best practices to consider ?.
    We have 2 node rac enabled database and would wanna have non-rac based physical standby, based on this I believe that having db tier on remote or standby site is enough ?
    if db node is enough for standby location what are things to be done when a fail over / switch over / role transitioned to standby for the app node from primary site to point db on the
    standby location or do we have to have both apps and db tier @ stand by location
    --However having a apps tier/node at standby will be of no use as we are planing to run db on mounstate meaning not a active data guard setup.
    Please do reply with your recommendation/suggestions/pointers
    Thanks in Advance.

  • What is the backup strategy for your rpool?

    Hi all,
    May I know what is your backup strategy for rpool? like how to integrate with the netbackup or any other backup software
    Is it using zfs send a data stream to a file and backup that file using backup software??
    Aside the above method, can we also use the UFS method?
         backup software to backup entire / /var..........  etc....
         1. re install the OS
         2. install the backup client
         3. create a zpool (rpool-restore)  using a 2nd disk,
         4. mount the new zpool  (rpool-restore) to /restore
         5. restore all the file in  /restore
         6. install boot blk,
         7. boot from 2nd disk
    Any more idea?

    HI Willy,
    According to the Flash Archives limitation stated in Oracle website, if the OS is with a child zone, it will not work right?
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/821-0436/6nlg6fi8u/index.html
    I am thinking that using the traditional way to do it.
    Use a backup software, for example, networker, TSM, netbackup.. to back up the following:
    /rpool
    /export/
    /export/home
         1. re install the OS
         2. install the backup client
         3. create a zpool (rpool-restore)  using a 2nd disk,
         4. mount the new zpool  (rpool-restore) to /restore
         5. restore all the file in  /restore
         6. install boot blk,
         7. boot from 2nd disk
    will it still works?

  • Pre-requisite checker script for EBS R12 and R12.1

    hi
    is it possible to make a pre-requisite checker script (in perl or shell) for EBS R12 and R12.1 in RHEL5 or sun OS??
    can anyone help / guide me to do so??
    rgrds

    I don't know about EBS R12, but apparently the Oracle Universal Installer can use options to just run the prerequisite checks without having to install the product.
    E.g. /runInstaller -prereqChecker or -executeSysPrereqs
    There is also a specific OTN forum available for installing E-Business suite:

  • Jdeveloper for EBS R12

    Hi!
    I'm looking for JDeveloper for EBS R12. I tried to download it from Metalink ( https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:8543317434215624048::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,787209.1,1,1,1,helvetica ), but archives there are corrupted. Can anyone help me?
    And one more question: I need only to develop GUI for application. Can I do this on machine with JDeveloper only installed (without EBS, Database, AS etc.) ?

    eoipso,
    I cannot really answer that question (it's too vague).
    Let me attempt some guidelines:
    1). If you are trying to modify parts of EBS which were built upon OAF: use OAF.
    2). if you are writing a new page/new function in EBS, and that new page/function fits into a part of EBS that was built using OAF: use OAF.
    3). If you are writing a new application that needs to use data/API's from EBS - you have lots of choices, including ADF/OAF. If the application was separate to EBS, I personally would use ADF instead of OAF, because ADF is more flexible, and I find developing UI's in OAF tedious, but that's just my experience. If you were an OAF wizard, you might feel otherwise.

  • Good backup strategy for a mailserver?

    Hi,
    What would be a good backup strategy for a mailserver and what software would you use. I've got Retrospect right now ...
    Thanks a lot.
    Jerome

    Yeah, ptero, I know. I'm using mailbfr and it seems to work quite fine.
    I didn't express myself clearly in this thread, I was in fact looking for the best way to backup a whole MacOS X Server whose primary function is being a mailserver.
    I'm backing up the mailbfr via Retrospect on another server, and I'm using Carbon Copy Cloner from time to time to make an image of the whole server. But is that a good idea? I've got a neat program on my Windows servers which makes 'continuous' incremental images of the whole disk while the servers are being used. Is there anything like that for Mac? Or how do you back up the system configuration of your Mac servers?
    But perhaps this is the wrong subforum to ask questions like this?
    Thanks alot anyway!

  • BI applications for EBS R12 release in OBIA 7963 release

    Hi all,
    Can anybody list the BI applications for EBS R12 release which supported in OBIA 7.9.6.3?
    Thanks
    Ram

    Are you referring to the EBS functional modules? BI Apps has a numbe of product families (Financial Analytics, HR Analytics, CRM Analytics..etc) that can source from EBS as well as other ERP systems (PeopleSoft, Siebel, JDEdwards..etc). If you are looking for the functional areas, I would suggest asking your Oracle rep for the "Product Guides" for the package you need (e.g Financial Analytics, HR Analytics..etc). Also there is a "Content Guide" you can find on metalink that lists the OOTB reports, dashboards, and Metadata content (RPD attributes).
    Here is the list of DAC subject areas under the vanilla EBS container..it may help for now until you have the other docs:
    Employee Expenses
    Enterprise Sales - Backlogs
    Enterprise Sales - Booking Lines & Order Lines
    Enterprise Sales - Booking Lines & Schedule Lines
    Enterprise Sales - Customer Status History

  • What is Minimum database requirement for EBS R12

    What is Minimum database requirement for EBS R12? for example if it works only with enterprise edition or with standard edition also.
    Regards,
    Sandeep V

    Question is very interesting and very important. The link does not answer if "standard edition" can be used. Obviously, Rapid Install installs EE database. But we can move the database to another dedicated database server.
    And the question becomes "Can we move it to a Standard Edition database server"? Huge ramifications on costs. Extremely important. Nowhere I could find positive answer. I wonder if anyone had found an answer?AFAIK, it is not supported.
    My own research shows that VIS database (built at home) has partitioned tables in APPLSYS and APPS schemas. Partitioning is not supported in Standard Edition.Correct.
    I wonder if we can migrate the database and manually move several partitioned tables into non-partitioned Standard Edition. Will EBS R12 break? Will Oracle Support cancel its support?Oracle will not support this -- Please log a SR to confirm this with Oracle Support.
    Thanks,

  • Load Balancing for EBS R12

    Hi husssein,
    I have a pc shuttle with test EBS R12 on RHEL4.6.
    I want to practise/test installing "appsTier Load Balancing" because this is one of our client's requirement.
    I have 1 laptop and i can borrow another from my officemate. I will install rhel4.6 both on the 2 laptops.
    Is it possible to simulate testing on "appsTier Load Balancing" using the 2 laptops? and the dbTier resides on the
    shuttle pc?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi,
    Well, from your experience, which is difficult to setup/configure > Load Balancer or RAC?I would not compare, but personally I believe configuring load balancing is more straightforward.
    By the way the term "RAC" is quite misleading. It means "Real Application Cluster" and yet it is used or point to the database Tier, when is should be on tha AppsTier because of the word "Application".
    So why cannot they RAC the AppsTier?As mentioned above, RAC is a database feature which means you will need to have an Oracle database installed (Enterprise Edition) to configure RAC. For the application tier, you will have to use load balancing. Both RAC and Load balancing are forms of Clustering.
