Second instance installation SGA question

Hi Everybody,
I have an Oracle 10g Database installed on a Solaris Server and the SGA of the Database is 3.9 GB. The Solaris System has 4 GB RAM.
Now I want to install another instance on the Solaris Server. How is it with the SGA? How much SGA can I give to the new instance and is there a problem when the two SGAs of the Instances have more than the 4 GB of the Solaris system (e.g. 3.9 (first instance) + 3.9 (second instance) ). The plan is that both instances will run at the same time.
Thanks for any answer.
Regards DocX

The first instance was installed by a third person and it seems that it calculates > the memory automatically because Shared, Large Pool and Buffer Cache are
shown as 0 and only the total SGA is shown as 3.9 GB.That means SGA autotuning is turned on, responsible parameter is SGA_TARGET (not SGA_MAX_SIZE). Often SGA_MAX_SIZE is not set, but derived from the sum of all memory structures or - if set - SGA_TARGET.
SGA_TARGET is dynamically modifiable (alter system set ...), while the database is open, but SGA_MAX_SIZE is not.
Because of its swapping/paging facilities the machine can handle more memory than available as physical RAM, but becomes slow. Oracle may show something like 'not enough memory', when you try to start the instance.
so Oracle does not handle the memory automatically like giving each instance only 2 GB physically memory although both have a SGA of 3.9 GBThere is no 'cross-instance' memory maintenance between Oracle instances.

How to upgrade ADF to second instance

Hi All,
We are using ADF in our application. We have older version of OAS 10.1.2.0.2
We were successful in upgrading the ADF libraries on the "home" instance of OAS using ADF installer.
Now, we created another instance called "MY_OC4J".
Next task is to upgrade ADF libraries on this new MY_OC4J.
How to do that ?
Reason I am asking this question is :-
"Oracle documentation states that ADF installer (standalone as well as Jdeveloper wizard driven) upgrades ADF libraries of home instance *ONLY*" so obviously we cannot use installer to upgarde instance MY_OC4J
anyone done this before ?
Any idea ? Pointer ? Tips ?
thanks,
cora

Ok.
Here is the update.
I installed the ADF libraries on second instance (of OAS 10.1.2.0.2), using the Jdev 10.1.3.3 installer wizard. It was successful.
When I run my appliaction, everything runs fine. Except the selectOneChoice drop down shows the items chopped off..
Meaning, if one of item listed in the dropdown is "Configuration Number" then after installing the libraries, it shows as "Configra". Its chopped off.
REASON: I developed my code using ADF 10.1.3.36.73
I installed the ADF libraries using Jdev 10.1.3.3 (ADF version 10.1.3.41.57)
So, I have higher ADF version installed on server. What is the solution for the selectOneChoice not to chop off ??
Why did i install higher version ADF libraries ?
Answer:--- Since I developed application using jdev 10.1.3 (ADF 10.1.3.36.73), there is no way for me to install this version on the second instance. Bcaz
a>Jdev 10.1.3 does not have provision in run time installer to specify the second oc4j instance. although jdev higher versions do have. thats the version i used to upgrade ADF libs (ADF version 10.1.3.41.57) using jdev 10.1.3.3
b>Standalone ADF version 10.1.3.1 installer does not have option in properties file, to specify the second oc4j instance name. So cannot use this installer either.
So, in short inspite of ADF version mismatch, my application runs fine except that chop off in selectOneChoice.
Is there a way to get aroung this problem of selectOneChoice ??
thanks,
capa

How do I create a second instance of oc4j in a standalone enviroment

I am using OC4J standalone to deploy a sparql endpoint using jena, joseki, and the oracle jena adaptor. OC4J is running on the same server as my DEV and QAR databases. The current instance of OC4J is using a data source called "OracleSemDS" to connect to my DEV database. We are now ready to migrate the endpoint to QAR. As I was setting up the QAR endpoint, I discovered the the jena/joseki tools are hard-coded to use the "OracleSemDS" data source. Therefore, I cannot have 2 endpoints running in the same OC4J instance where one points to DEV and the other points to QAR.
Therefore, I need to create a second instance of OC4J that specifies QAR as the "OracleSemDS" data connection. Can someone tell me how to do that?
Thanks,
Phil

Thanks,
Philgday Phil -- Melli Annamalai from the Oracle Server PM team pointed me to your question. I was an OC4J Product Manager before we bought out BEA and I swapped over to WLS -- so I have some information below that hopefully is of assistance to you.
Since you are using OC4J standalone, the simplest way to get a second instance, is to just clone the existing, whole directory structure of your working OC4J instance into another directory, and configure/run it from that directory. To map the OracleSemDS to another target (QAR) you change the data-sources.xml file in the second instance. If you want to run them concurrently on the same server, you'll need to change the ports in the second instance so they have unique values: default-web-site.xml, rmi.xml, internal-settings.xml, jms.xml. These additional ports can be specified on the command line as a Java property string, albeit this is not a documented nor supported feature. See http://buttso.blogspot.com/2007/02/specifying-oc4j-standalone-ports-from.html for more information.
Now as an example, assuming you have your OC4J you want to clone in the dev directory, and now want to create a second instance of OC4J in qar, I'd do this:
cp -rp dev/* qar
cd qar/j2ee/home/config
vi data-sources.xml
(edit any other files if needed to alter ports) ...
cd ..
java -jar oc4j.jar That should work, and should create the second instance using the current configuration (ie dev) as its basis (including deployed apps). Of course, you'll need to manage them independently from here as they really are just two separate OC4J standalone instances.
Now what else you could potentially do is to create a secondary configuration file subset only which only changes the necessary files to support running the second instance. In this case, you'd make a copy of the j2ee/home/config/server.xml, j2ee/home/config/application.xml and j2ee/home/config/data-sources.xml files, renaming them to qar-server.xml, qar-application.xml and qar-data-sources.xml.
Then do the following:
1. In qar-server.xml file, you'd change the global-application application to point at qar-application.xml instead of application.xml:
<global-application name="default" path="qar-application.xml" parent="system" start="true" />
2. Change qar-application.xml so that it used the qar-data-sources.xml file:
<data-sources path="qar-data-sources.xml" />
3. Change qar-data-sources.xml file so it points to the qar database target.
4. Start OC4J, telling it to use qar-server.xml instead of the default server.xml
D:\java\oc4j-10135-prod\j2ee\home>java -jar oc4j.jar -config config/qar-server.xmlI think you could run into some concurrency problems if you try and run the two instances simulataneously, but in general it should be OK I think if you run them separately.
Another solution here is look at how the application specifies/uses datasources. The hard coding of the data-source name into the applicaiton via a direct JNDI lookup works, but restricts the flexibility you as a deployer/administrator has.
If the application used the Java EE resource-ref approach to look up and use the datasource, then the actual JNDI name of the datasource the application uses it totally abstracted from the actual physical name of the datasource that is created on the container -- so you'd have DEVDS and QARDS as physical datasources configured and running on OC4J -- and what happens is that as you deploy the application, you essentially map its lookup and use of OracleSemDS (which would need to change to a java:env/ namespace) to the physical datasource you want it to use (DEVDS or QARDS for example). You can easily alter this post deployment by changing the generated orion-application.xml file to point at the alternate physical datasource. Following that, you can also create separate deployment plans which map the app to the different datasources, then feed this in with the deployment operation so that the correct mapping to either DEVDS or QARDS is done during the deployment process.
I don't know what scope you have to change the application so the above may not be possible -- you'd need to change the lookup code so that it uses the Java EE reference model and change the meta-inf/application.xml to add the corresponding resource-ref entry which declares the logical datasource name that needs to be mapped on deployment.
Another approach here may be to use an application embedded datasource, where you put a data-sources.xml file into the application archive itself (along with an orion-application.xml file which references it) whereupon at deployment time, a datasource specific to the application will be created. In this manner, you'd have say two copies of the same application to deploy (DEV, QAR) which contain different data-sources.xml file. From memory, each application will have its own JNDI namespace so their datasources can co-exist with the same names, with application level data-sources overriding server level ones. Since you'll most likely want to keep the same context-root for the web modules (which has to be unique per server) you'll generally need to run just one of the applications at a time. I'd do this like this: deploy one, stop it, deploy the other, stop it, then start only the one you need to test. In that way, you'll have one copy of the application running (either DEV or QAR) and one datasource definition running within it.
Here's some documentation links to get you going:

Can I install a second instance of i-Calender on the server where right now is running the first instance? How?

The first instance is running on a Sun R420 Enterprise
server. The second instance will run in the same server.

When you say "Authorized" you mean in the sense of Itunes Store Authorized? if so the system in Question is authorized it is my primary Workstation and was waiting until iCloud came out to update to Lion. My MBP , and 2006 MP are all running Lion and are part of the 5 systems "authorized". I did not run into this issue with either the MBP or the MP when i installed and I bought two copies at the same time on my the first day Lion was available.
Do you know the mechanism with which the App Store tracks purchases on different computers prior to iCloud coming out?
once again thanks for your response

WAS 6.40 Dialog Instance Installation

Hi,
I am installing a dialog instance for our WAS 6.40 JAVA on Win 2003 with ORacle DB. During the installation I get the following error.
ERROR 2006-02-22 15:19:50
CJS-20058 J2EE Engine J01 of SAP system EPD did not reach state "Starting Applications" after 1154 seconds: giving up.
The is no special arguments for a dialog instance installation in documentation. So I did run SAPINST and selected dialog instance installation. Is something missing?

EP Central System + Dialog Instance Installation options

Hi Friends
For my production EP 6.0 WAS 6.40-Java instance I am getting 3 AIX servers, say server DBserver, Appserver1 & Appserver2, we want to install the database & CI on the DBserver, the other 2 servers need to serve the role of Application servers to the DB+CI server.
In our SAP R/3 Production systems we don't allow the users to login to the server hosting the (database+CI) & we allow them to login only to the appication servers, I want to do a similar setup for my Production portal landscape & require that the portal users are load-balanced using the SAP Web Dispatcher to the 2 application servers.
I have 2 questions on which installation options to choose to achieve the above objective.
1. Can somebody check & confirm if the below mentioned Installation sequence is correct for Installing the WAS on the 3 servers.
a) Using Installation option "Java System ->Oracle->Central System->Custom Installation-Java system" for the DBserver.
b) Installation option "Java System ->Oracle->Central System->Dialog Instance Installation" for Appserver1 & Appserver2.
2. Can somebody advice how do I need to install the portal on the 3 servers so that the above objective of load-balancing the users to the 2 App servers is met.
a) Do I need to install portal only on the DB+CI server & then the portal platform will be setup on the 2 App servers as well or
b) Can I install the portal separately on the 2 portal App servers.
Thanks & Rgds,
Abhishek

Hi Friends
Any replies will be appreciated & also rewarded with points.

Creating second instance 10g (non rac)

We are 10G 64bit on a Windows/VM box - or will be:)
Is it possible to create multiple instances of oracle on a single server?
Generally speaking - would I create the second instance just like the first instance but with a different db name?
Any reasons why I wouldn't want to create multiple database instances on the same server?
Currently we have our client (enterprise manager) installed on a separate box and use the same client to connect to several databases. If I had multiple instances on one server how would enterprise manager connect to multiple instances with the same ip?
Thanks for taking my question!.
Kathie

When running the second DBCA the global database name and sid would be unique as well?Yea, the global database name must be unique.
I could also use the same flashback directory as this area has the sid in the directory path? Yea, you can use the same flashback directory for any database on the same server.
Forum question: Is there a way to close a question and give credit for an answer? I dont, know, but the interesting about the participation on this forum is HELP
Luck.
Have a good day.
Regards.

Installing second instance of directory in common root.

Is it possible to install a second instance of a directory server in a
common base directory?
For example:
/user/netscape/server4/slapd-first-server
/user/netscape/server4/slapd-second-server
I'm using the iAS 6.0 installer. I've installed the first instance with all
components. When I try to install a 2nd instance providing a base directory
of /user/netscape/server4 it doesn't let me install the 2nd instance.
Thanks in advance,
Rodger...

Rodger,
I am sorry for being dense, but would a second instance be a configuration
where you are running 2 servers on the same machine on different ports for
instance (389 and 400 for example) but they access the same base database? I am
looking at how to do that and would like to know.
thanks,
Gary

SSAS 2012 multi-instance installation issue

Hello,
Just wanted to share an issue and the resolution. Any feedback will be appreciated.
Symptoms
After installing the second named instance of SSAS 2012 on the same machine the first instance stops working.
Cause
The problem is that the second SSAS instance installed on the same machine doesn’t create its own INI file, but overwrites the original one, created by the first instance. The second instance’s
service is configured to use the overwritten INI. Note that the overwritten INI is still located in its original folder, ex. C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.SSAS01\OLAP\Config\msmdsrv.ini.
As a result, the second instance’s service works well, but the first one will fail to start once it’s shut down for the first time.
Resolution
For the sake of simplicity we will use names SSAS01 and SSAS02 for the first and the second named SSAS instances installed on the same machine called SERVER01. The default instance root directory
will be C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server.
1. Install both named instances normally, using same instance root directory, but separate folders for Data, Log. etc.
2. Browse to the first instance “Config” folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.SSAS01\OLAP\Config. Make sure that the file msmdsrv.ini exists and folder locations within it
point to SSAS02.
3. Browse to the second instance folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.SSAS02\OLAP. Make sure that the “Config” subfolder does not exist.
4. Create “Config” subfolder under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.SSAS02\OLAP
5. Change folder permissions:
In C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.SSAS01\OLAP\Config
Remove SQLServerMSASUser$SERVER01$SSAS02 local group
Add SQLServerMSASUser$SERVER01$SSAS01 local group with Full permissions
In C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.SSAS02\OLAP\Config
Add SQLServerMSASUser$SERVER01$SSAS02 local group with Full permissions
6. Copy INI file:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.SSAS01\OLAP\Config\msmdsrv.ini
To:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.SSAS02\OLAP\Config\
7. Edit the original INI file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.SSAS01\OLAP\Config\msmdsrv.ini.
Replace all “SSAS02” appearances with “SSAS01”.
8. Edit Registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSOLAP$UATSSAS02]
Change ImagePath value to:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.UATSSAS02\OLAP\bin\msmdsrv.exe" -s "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.SSAS02\OLAP\Config"
9. Start the services for both instances.

Where to add DISPLAY=:0.1 to get second instance of Firefox to open on second screen

I have set things up using Firefox profiles so I can open a second instance of Firefox. I have even put a a launcher icon on the panel. However, I would like to have the second instance open on the second screen. I have found I can use the variable DISPLAY=:0.1 at the command prompt, but I would like to add the variable, or something that has the same effect to a file to make the launch on the second screen automatic.
Can somebody suggest the right code, and where to put it please?

Hi clay1905,
Thank you for posting your question, there are a few old solutions to this however I am not sure if they work in the updated version you are using:
*[http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=50500]
*[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594320]
The general theme looks like if you run a bash file from the launch pad to open one application, then sleep, then launch the second instance in the second display this could be done.
*How to run your first bash [http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_02_01.html]
*run script from desktop shortcut: [http://askubuntu.com/questions/299052/how-to-execute-sh-script-from-a-desktop-shortcut]
I hope that puts you in the right direction.

For your understanding ,
Here are the steps that i followed,
(1)I am Installing SAP XI on Windows 2003 server standard edition with oracle 9i as database.
(2)I copied the DVDs to HARD DRIVE
(3)I created the Microsoft Loopback adapter,assigned an ip.
(4) Then installed j2sdk 1.4.2 for windows
(5) installed central instance with SAPinst

Hi Carsten,
Thank you for taking a look at my problem.
I am using NW_2004_SR1 (Netweaver 2004 SR1).
Just for your information, the size for those two files on my Hard drive are
SAPSSEXC.001 is 650,240 Kb
SAPAPPL1.001 is 126,608 Kb
and my label.asc in Exports directory is
SAP:NETWEAVER:04SR1:DVD_EXPORT:NETWeaver 04 SR 1 EXPORT DVD:D51030721
label.asc in EXP1 directory is
SAP:NETWEAVER:04SR1:EXPORT(1/3):NetWeaver 04 SR 1 Export CD 1/3:CDxxxxxxxx
label.asc in EXP2 is
SAP:NETWEAVER:04SR1:EXPORT(2/3):NetWeaver 04 SR 1 Export CD 2/3:CDxxxxxxxx
label.asc in EXP3 directory is
SAP:NETWEAVER:04SR1:EXPORT(3/3):NetWeaver 04 SR 1 Export CD 3/3:CDxxxxxxxx
Thank you,

SCM 2007 Dialog Instance Installation on MSCS

Hello everyone,
I have installed SCM 2007 server on MSCS. It is an ABAP stack unicode installation.
I have already fininshed with installations of ASCS, ERS, DB instance, CI as per the installation doc.
My system is up and running on one node. Now I am trying to install dialog instance on the second node. Input parameters,
Database independent programs - Drive G - local - empty on node 2
independent data - Drive M - Shared - already has files created at the time of CI installation.
However, I am getting following error in client s/w installation phase,

Hi Ashley,
Thanks for your time.
Since i am installing app server, the SAP<SID> group will have to be online on this node. There is another group containing shared drives for components for livecache. This is also required to be online on node 2 for app server installation.
The only cluster resource I can move back to node 1 is ORACLE<SID>. Tried doing that, but no luck.
Any one here facing similar issue during SCM dialog instance installation in MSCS environment?
Regards,
Kiran

Problem with second instance of access manager

Well, after sorting out things with the first install of access manager, I went on to install a second instance on a different host (it's required for delegated admin..)
Here are the options I used on install:
Access Manager: Administration (1 of 6)

Yes, I am using the same key as was used on host1 for access manager. Yes, access manager on host 1 is quite functional right now. Yes, that directory server works. Now I'm really stumped on what to do! Everything in JES seems to work great except access manager, the exceptions it throws really don't help any at all in troubleshooting.
Any ideas?

Closing the Second instance of the browser.

Hello,
I am working on a project written in Java. When applet is running in Browser, we can open the new instance of the browser using File->window->new (or pressing CTR-N). Since the second window runns in the context of first window, It is causing some problem.
Is there any way for me to close the second instance of the browser from my Java applet?? If not is there any way for me to disable both the File->new->Window and CTR-N options.
I am new to java and java script. If it is not possible in Java Applet, is it possible in java Script. Please Provide me with full information.
Thanks and Regards,
Ratna.

Hi,
There is no way you can close the browser window that the user opens. Even if there is a way through some hack, it will not completely give u a solution, independant of browsers and all. And moreover it is not advisable to restrict the user like that.
A more elegant way would be to handle it in the server side. I can give u one ligical way. U can make the page expire as soon as it gets loaded. U can do that by using the code below. And you have to have a server side function to check for a request from the same client machine for the same page.
<%
 if (request.getProtocol().compareTo("HTTP/1.0") == 0)
 response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
 else if (request.getProtocol().compareTo("HTTP/1.1") == 0)
 response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
 response.setHeader("Expires", "-1");
%>So when the user opens a new browser window, he will be shown page expired message, or the page will be requested again from the server. U can have a map storing the remote address and the session of the user.
