Clone Repository Database

Hi team,
I want to copy the EM Grid Database to another server and use it for test purpose.
We have 11g OMS and 11gR2 database.
Whats the best method to copy the EM database to another server?
I have two options
1. Create new empty database, take full export of current EM DB and import to new DB.
2. rman clone the DB to new server.
Thanks,
Rane

There were major changes between 8.0 and 8.1. You certainly couldn't just install the 8.0 Context cartridge onto 8.l.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 Repository Database

We've configured a new CRS 2008 server and have a "failed reports" report that worked in the old Crystal Enterprise 10 environment. It would query the repository database CMS_InfoObjects table and report failed reports for the day.
With the new version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 and the new repository database, the ObjName field and others in this table are now varbinary fields.
How can we query this field like we did with the old version to get our "failed reports" report to work?
I can't really find any informatin on the structure, etc. or how to query the repository database.

Unfortunately, you can't query it directly from a report. You have to use the query language that comes with the SDK.
I'm not sure whether CRS comes with the same Query Builder tool that comes with BusinessObjects, but if it does you can access it through a url like this: http://<server name>/AdminTools/querybuilder/ie.jsp.
To get the list of failed reports, you would run something like this query:
Select SI_NAME, SI_ID, SI_CREATION_TIME
from CI_INFOOBJECTS
where SI_INSTANCE = 1
and SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS = 3
and SI_CREATION_TIME >= '2010/08/19,00:00:00'
Unfortunately, there is no way to automate this with the Query Builder. You would have to manually run this query every day to get the information you're looking for.
If you can write code in Visual Studio or Java (or have someone available who can do this), this type of thing is not difficult to do in the SDK. You could handle it a couple of ways:
1. Create a program that loads the information to a table in your database and then run a report in CRS that will show that data.
2. Create a program that loads the data into memory and runs a report off of the in-memory data.
Either type of program could be set to run under the Windows Scheduler to automatically provide the information.

How to upgrade repository database from 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.3?

I installed EM10gR3 on Linux. I chose Install Grid Control using a New Database option. The database is 10.1.0.4. How can I upgrade repository database to 10.2.0.3? Shall I install Oracle 10.2.0.3 and then use dbua to upgrade?
Thanks,
Kevin

Yes. But first of all check that the 10.2.0.3 Repository is compartible with 10.2.0.3 database. You will find this in the Installation Guide. Then use any upgrade type (DBUA, Upgrade Script etc) to upgrade the database.

SBO Ent XI 3.1 SP3 repository database access error

Dear Experts,
We are installing XI SP3 and using oracle 10g for repository database, we've installed 10.2.0.4 oracle db on windows 2008,
tnsping is working, but we are getting following error ;
Database access error. Reason Loading shared object failed. First tried to load library oci and failed because of error: [%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
]. Second tried to load library oci.dll and failed because of error: [%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
Problems installing Xi 3.1 sp3 with Oracle DB
Same problem solve via using 32bit oracle client, how can i instalee 32 bit oracle client, because oracle path's using ths insttalion directory on same server,
Could you please wirte the steps for how to install oracle client for boe on the same server via 64 bit oracle home
Best Regards

BusinessObjects is not a 64-bit application. It is a 32-bit application that can be run on a 64-bit server. My experience has been that because it is a 32-bit application, it will not work with 64-bit database drivers. For example, we have to set up 32-bit ODBC connections in order to connect to MS SQL Server even though the server where BOE is installed is a 64-bit server.

Can anyone give me the steps for moving the repository databases in 9.3.0?

We are in the 9.3.0 environment and I need to move the four repository databases for essbase, biplus and webanalysis/workspace to a new machine. I tested moving the databases and rerunning the config util, but I lost my sample reports I created earlier. Does anyone have a step by step procedure for moving the repositories?
Thanks,
-C.

If you are moving reports why don't you bulk export them from workspace and then import them into your target.
Are you talking about migrating the repository across different shared services environments, if so then I doubt you will have much luck with trying to migrate the workspace repository as it pretty tied in with shared services.
Cheers

How to create a clone of database from STANDBY?

How can i clone a database from physical standby database?

Steps to clone from standby:
1. cancle the managed recovery process on standby
sql>alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
2. Remember your standby databse would be in mount mode.
3. Connect to the auxiliary instance and to the standby database through RMAN
rman target sys/<pwd>@standby auxiliary sys/<pwd>@auxiliary-connection
4. If 11g, then run directly duplicate from active database
rman>duplicate target database to 'auxiliary_db_name' from active database nofilenamecheck;
5. Once, the duplication is done, start the MRP on the standby again
sql>alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
Ok..You are on 10g.
Perform the above steps, but only thing is 1st you need to take the backup of the standby database first.

How to Clone the DataBase

Hi
How to Clone a Dabase .. ??
When the Database is Online (Up and Running).
I want to Clone the Database on the Same System.
Its a testing scenario.
In one of the interview I had faced this quesiton.
Kindly, any one guide me in this regard,
Thanks,
Pavan Kumar

This is a documentation forum.
You need to read that documentation.
Specifically, go to http://docs.oracle.com, select the version of the database you are working with, and put 'clone' into the search box. One link for 10gR2 is http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/startup.htm#sthref1874
IN the future, please have the courtesy to
1) post in an appropriate forum, as described by the title of the forum
2) Include product (database) version and operating system

Is a DB license required for EM 10G repository database?

We purchasedOEM10G Grid Control. We're planning to deploy OMS and Repository on a standalone Linux box (which has no other RDBMS running on it), while agents will be spread accross other target Unix boxes. OEM10G comes with a repository database. Do we need a separate license for this repository database on Linux? Can not locate the answer on Oracle Home site.

My impression from what I have read in the manuals is you can run the OMS and repository on a seperate machine and not pay license (RDBMS or Grid Control) for it. You will be paying Grid Control license for all the monitored machines where you have your business applications running. Talk to you sales rep before you proceed because my interpretations will not protect you when Oracle comes after you for more money.

Repository Database shows at wrong version in Grid Control

Hi all,
I have successfully installed Grid Control and have upgraded the repository database to version 10.2.0.3. When I log into sqlplus to check the version number fit shows 10.2.0.3, but when I look at the database in Grid Control it is displaying as 10.2.0.1.
Does anyone have any idea why that would happen? Where does GC get its information from?
Thanks,
Paula

It is also worth mentioning that when I used DBUA to upgrade the repository database from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 the EM config part failed. Having googled this it seems that this is fine for a Grid Control repository database, as it does not have an EM db console element to it anyway and therefore it cannot be upgraded, but I thoguht I best mention that in case it has a bearing on this issue.
thanks,
Paula

Repository database backward compatiblity.

Repository db: 10.2.0.4
OS: AIX 5.3
Target DB : 10.2.0.2
Hello Folks,
My repository database is 10.2.0.4 and catalog resides on that server, I have few target databases which is are on 10.2.0.2 and I am planning to upgrade all to 10.2.0.4, due to restriction from application side, I am not able to upgrade it to 10.2.0.4 so planning to use new upgraded (10.2.0.4) catalog repositry database.
My question is, Is it possible to have target database (10.2.0.2) has metadata information in 10.2.0.4 repository database? Any suggestion ?
Thanks.

Hi HG,
Recovery, cloning it all works as long as you recover/restore the database to the same rdbms version it had during the backup.
Also note the oradba's message about the rman executable version which is upwards compatible.
You could run all rman backups from one central server but you have to take into account the executable version is, within limits, on an equal or a lower version than the target rdbms.
(see metalink note 73431.1).

Where is the EM Repository Database?

Several documents that I have seen recently refer to the EM Repository Database. Specifically, https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=270516.1 says "Set the $ORACLE_SID environment variable to point to the EM Repository Database."
How can I find out where that is?
Thanks,
Gregory

Hello Gregory,
What they mean by that comment is to simply set the ORACLE_SID variable to be the one of your Repository as there may be more than one database on the host. For example, if when creating my repository I named it MYREPO I would just have to type the following:
Windows: set ORACLE_SID=MYREPO
Linux: export ORACLE_SID=MYREPO
As this is half way down the page, I assume you already know how to set the ORACLE_HOME, which is basically the same thing but with the full path entered after the "=".
If it is the case that you forget what the name of your repository database is altogether, just tell me what system you are on, and I can teach you how to find out.

Grummy

Repository database grid infrastructure

Hi
Suppose I want to do fresh grid control 11g installation.
As far as I know lastest database version can be 11.2.0.2.
I am just wondering whether I can use ASM as a reposiotory database storage ?
I am a bit confused with below note:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11857_01/install.111/e15838/install_em_exist_db.htm
Ensure that the existing, certified Oracle Database is not configured with Oracle Grid Infrastructure. This type of configuration is not supported

can use ASM as a reposiotory database storageSure, don't see why not if ASM is your preference.
confused with below noteGrid starts with a repository database, install the RDBMS software, just the database component(s), and create an instance for the grid repository.
The grid software installs to a separate, new ORACLE_HOME after a database is up and running.

Cleaning up the Grid Control Repository Database

Our Grid Control Repository database has grown large over time and we need to free up some space. When we remove targets, is all the data related to the target cleaned out?

Double check your partition maintenance is working.
Deleting targets will delete the underlying data, but you may have to do some general database cleanup to reap the benefit in space terms.
