EBS R12 Database Copy or clone - init.ora, and spfile conflict...

Hi All,
I am a report developer. I have two servers(VMs)
Server1: Win 2008, Oracle EBS R12.1.1. (db_name = vis)
Server2: Win XP SP3, Oracle 11g R1 (db_name = orcl)
My goal is to copy the whole EBS R12.1.1 Vision Instance database (VIS) on Server1 to Server 2 Oracle Database....And please note that I need only data in those schemas - I use that to run ETL scripts, so, on Server2 I am not going to run any EBS Applications(Forms, or reports or others).
In order to do this I am http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_db_copy.htm method.
During the process I have encountered an issue - Server1 (VIS) database uses initVIS.ora file as parameter file, where as Server 2 uses SPFILE.ORA as parameter file.
in Step8 we have to copy the init.ora file from EBS R12 to Server2, but this doesn't help me as server2 use spfile.
please give me your suggestions to solve this gap......
Thanks!

Oracle 10g R2 for Windows ignores init.ora and registry values

Hello,
I have a strange issue. I try to set some parameters for Oracle but it doesn't seem to work.
Here the story:
I created the DB with the DBCA under windows and set my init parameter at frist creation with 3 important values:
OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX = ""
REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT=TRUE
remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE
this values are in the Registry and the init.ora and the init.ora.7192011143454 in ORAHOME_DB/scripts and pfile
I've now changed these parameters in the init.ora and registry to:
OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX = ""
REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT=FALSE
remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE
and restarted the whole system - after the restart I checked the value for REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT:
show parameter remote_os_authent
NAME TYPE VALUE
remote_os_authent boolean TRUE
It keeps true. But why it keeps true why I can't change this value anymore after the DBCA?
Do I miss something?
Thanks
Edited by: ioGLNX on 22.08.2011 04:18

show parameter spfile;
NAME TYPE VALUE
spfile string C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\DB_1\DATABASE\SPFILEMACSCURR.ORA
NAME TYPE VALUE
I have created a new spfile from my init.ora with:
create spfile='C:\oracle\product..toMyInstanceDbs\ioglnx.ora' from pfile='C:\pathToPfile\DBHOME\scripts\init.ora'
So the problems as it seem to me to instrcut oracle to use my new spfile...in Windows.

Which to edit? Any advice would do, thanks in advance.
MayloYou should have the init.ora file under the same directory. However, if the file is missing you can copy it from the old $ORACLE_HOME as mentioned above.

Converting EBS R12 database to RAC 11gR2

We are on EBS R12 with 11gR2 database. I read the document 823587.1 with emphasis on Section 3. We are planning to convert the existing EBS database to a 2-node RAC on new servers.
1. Install 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure on new servers.
2. Install 11gR2 database software on the 2 nodes with local disk.
3. Configure listener.
4. Implement and run Autoconfig on the 2 nodes.
5. Start Application processes.
I am not clear about how the data is migrated to the new servers with shared disk using ASM. How is this part done? Mind you, we are moving from a single node server to two brand new servers. I understand that part of using rconfig to convert from single node database to 2 node RAC. But we are not planning to use the existing database server as part of new RAC environment. Thanks.

It sounds like you are trying to build out new boxes.
The Shared Storage will have to be setup first with the datafiles/control files, then you could clone the database to the new servers. with RMAN or some other method.
Your Sysadmin (Unix) should be able to help setting up the shared storage. then on the clone based on how you do it. The Datafiles can be mapped to the new storage area and/or ASM. The Tasks are slightly different.

How to use EBS R12 Database (10.2.0.2) for report analysis tools?

Hi All,
My client wants to use reporting tools for bussiness analysis.For this I want to use a separate database which will be replica of production database.Is there any way to achieve this in R12 database(10.2.0.2)?
Kindly share your experience.
Regards
Latif

As Srini states, knowing more about your requirements would help us to help you. :-)
Do you need a daily twice/daily snapshot of your data? If so, then you might be able to implement the solution that Srini mentioned earlier. An added benefit of this method is that it can go beyond the creation of a reporting database: it can also be leveraged in the creation of additional clones for test and dev environments.
Do you need real-time replication of data to your reporting database? If so, then you might want to investigate Oracle Streams/Goldengate (disclaimer: I'm typing on the fly, so I'm not 100% certain that this is supported).
If you're willing to license more Oracle software to solve your problem, you might also consider Oracle Business Intelligence Applications, which has out-of-the-box integration with E-Business Suite for common reporting/business intelligence needs. There are additional costs involved, but you can weigh those against the development costs of "rolling your own" MVs and reports, and maintaining them.
Again, knowing your requirements, constraints, and points of flexibility will go a long way toward figuring out which option best suits you. :)

Database copy (duplicate/clone/...) without startup open?

Hi,
I am running DB Enterprise Ed v 10.2 and my main DB is in +ASM.
I need to script a regular copy of this DB to refresh the support DB, also in +ASM.
My problem is that I can not permit this support DB to be opened for general use until I have stopped certain jobs running on the internal dbms_scheduler and updated the oracle directories (dba_directories) with support locations. Thus I need to have a clone / duplicate method that stops short of actually opening the database at the end, or some way to ensure that it only opens it RESTRICTED mode.
I think that both the RMAN DUPLICATE command and the Enterprise Manager CLONE jobs leave the new database open....
Any suggestions appreciated.

Since you mentioned scripting, then it seems that you will have full control of the cloning process...
So if that is the case then perhpas you can restrict access to the cloned database using "alter system enable restricted session".
Then once your cloning process is done and after you have done all the necessary housekeeping stuff, then turn off the restricted access with
"alter system disable restricted session".

OBIEE/EBS R12 - works, except for one user - ORA-06512 error

OBIEE 10.3.1.4 / EBS 12.0.4
Oracle 11g
HPUX 11.31 64 bit Itanium
We are successfully using EBS integration with OBIEE, but for one user that we have created it doesn't work. When they try to access OBIEE from EBS we get this error in NQServer.log:
*[nQSError: 13011] Query for Initialization Block 'EBS Security Context' has failed.*
*[nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 6510, message: ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception*

This is when the query is run against EBS to authenticate the user:

FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID,
FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID,
FND_GLOBAL.USER_NAME from dual
It is only for one user that has the problem. All others users work fine.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
Our EBS DBA has checked that the above sql can be run with the session set to the problem user, and compared with a user who can successfully connect to OBIEE. The results were the same for both.

I was on the wrong lines with this one.
The error in the NQServer.log was not from the problem user, it was a separate user.
The real cause of a specific user not being able to login was a corrupt web catalog (which we're still trying to resolve)

How to defragment the datafile hwm in EBS R12 database

Hi All,
We are on 1204 E-biziness instance on 11gR2 database.
We have deleted(purged some EGO data and got the huge space in dba_segments. it was around 2.5 gb after purging activity we got
SQL> select sum(bytes/1024/1024/1024) from dba_segments;
SUM(BYTES/1024/1024/1024)
734.867561

SQL> select sum(bytes/1024/1024/1024) from dba_data_files;
SUM(BYTES/1024/1024/1024)
2456.70493
SQL>
But in datafile the HWM is not reduced, i checked by moving the big tables, even though i am not getting the space in datafile level, i need to resize my datafile size to 1TB , take backup and clone the target which is having 1TB space.
For example in apps_ts_tx_data we have only 243Gb segments but the datafiles size it is having 1000GB, we have to reduce the datafile size to that 300Gb, how to do it?
=======
SQL> select sum(bytes/1024/1024/1024) from dba_segments where tablespace_name='APPS_TS_TX_DATA';
SUM(BYTES/1024/1024/1024)

SUM(BYTES/1024/1024/1024)
1070.2343
SQL>
==========
I thought of creating one tablespace of 300GB and move all objects into new tablespace , drop old tablespace and rename new tablespace to 'APPS_TS_TX_DATA', but we have objects like below, Pl guide me what is the best method of doing this and reduce my database size to 1TB. so that i can accomplish my task
====
SQL> select DISTINCT SEGMENT_TYPE,count(*) FROM DBA_SEGMENTS where tablespace_name='APPS_TS_TX_DATA' group by SEGMENT_TYPE;
SEGMENT_TYPE COUNT(*)

Can we use replication usings oracle 10g steams for EBS r12 database?

HI,
We are using EBS 12.0.6 and database 10.2.0.3 on linux 32-bit/64-bit OS (Multi-Node env).
Actually We want to decrease the load of custom reports on actual production system, so thats why
we need reports server and as my past experience I had used oracle streams for replication with simple schema based replication and tablespace replication also.
So, please educate me, that can i used the oracle 10g streams for EBS schemas like APPS, GL ,INV, PO, ONT, ODM, AR, AP, CM etc?
Please provide us the above related env docs and road Map.
If you have any other way to create the Report Server?
Regard,
Fayaz Ahmed

Hi,
We are not in a position to upgrade the EBS from 12.0.6 to 12.1, because this is lengthy task, but we had already tested technically it in test env, but functional testing in pending.
Now we want to immediate solution if possible, because this is production?
So, please suggest another.

Is it possible to make PCTFREE 0 a database-wide default via init.ora ?

In our batch environment we drop/create lots of tables as follows - CREATE TABLE X NOLOGGING PCTFREE 0 PARALLEL AS SELECT .........
Since the tables get created from scratch every time and don't get updated - we use PCTFREE 0 to minimize space usage and speed up overall IO.
Today - we specify the PCTFREE 0 clause in every CTAS - so that Oracle won't use the default.
Is there a way to make the default "0" database wide so that we have one less clause to specify?
Thanks !

They really are Global Temporary Tables in functionality - they are part of a daily ETL cycle - but the users would like for them to stick around for 24 hours for "after the fact" analysis of issues - being able to step through table after table - long after the session / process are done. Hence - they are DROP/CREATed every day.
No - statistics aren't collected - it takes precious time. There are no indexes - so 99% of the time the tables are Full Table Scanned and the Hash Joined - which the optimizer is sensible enough to chose 99% of the time.
We run Nologging and NoArchivelogging - so we are spared the triple writes (Data/Log/arch) - so Billion row tables are ETLed very quickly on the modest hardware we can avail ourselves.
PCTFREE 0 saves space, reduces block count, and speeds up IO - and with tables DROP/CREATED it helps the cause.
Thanks for the tip about inheriting PCTFREE from the tablespace. I'll check it out.
