Various Cloning Ways available in Oracle Apps 12i

Hi All,
I wanted to know what are the various type of possible options available working with Oracle Apps 12i with Database 10g.
Pl confirm if the following are possible :
1. I am having a PROD Instance and one UAT Instance. I wanted to clone only the database of PROD to UAT. I don't want to copy application node.
2. I am having a PROD Instance and one UAT Instance. I wanted to clone only the Application Instance of PROD to UAT. I don't want to copy database node.
Also I would like to know the steps to clone any instance with both application and database node.
Thanx in advance.

Hi,
1. I am having a PROD Instance and one UAT Instance. I wanted to clone only the database of PROD to UAT. I don't want to copy application node. You could use a full database export/import or Rapid Clone, but Rapid Clone is easier and faster.
2. I am having a PROD Instance and one UAT Instance. I wanted to clone only the Application Instance of PROD to UAT. I don't want to copy database node. Use Rapid Clone.
Also I would like to know the steps to clone any instance with both application and database node.Refer to (Note: 799735.1 - Rapid Clone Documentation Resources, Release 11i and 12).

Hussein

Dbconsole config in oracle apps 12i (db 11.1.0.7) failed with emca

Dear all,
I started configuring dbconsole for oracle apps 12 with oracle 11.1.0.7 database using emca.
It failed while supplying dbsnmp password.
CONFIG: Failed to update account status.
oracle.sysman.assistants.util.sqlEngine.SQLFatalErrorException: ORA-01034: ORACL
E not available
I changed the password manually using alter user cmd and tried to confiure it but it doesn't work.
I restarted the db tier and tried to configure it but with same error.checked the password policy for profile its unlimited.
I don't understand what is wrong.
Can someone throw some light on this.
Thanks & regards,

Have you changed the password correctly? If yes, can you login using the new password via SQL*Plus?
Please see these docs.

Hi Hussein,
Very much thanks to you Hussein. I gone through the doc 471303.1 and came to know that the options and values which we have to take for Launching Discoverer Report from 11i & 12i is differenet. Ohh great its working and I have a question when I am selecting the Discoverer Report function from the Apps the follwoing error is coming.
A connection error.
- Oracle BI Discoverer is unable to complete the connection initialization.
- Default or specified schema containing EUL tables is inaccessible and asking for the log in details.
Can't we go directly to the Discoverer Viewer where we can see the Worksheets without coming through the login page.
Once again thank you Hussein.

Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Installation on Windows 2003
Re: Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Installation on Windows 2003
If you have a VC98, you are using Visual Studio 6. You need to be using Visual Studio 8, and set the Visual Studio directory in Rapidwiz to d:\Tools\MSVS\VC.
The Vision installation of Oracle Applications has had Oracle Financials implemented for the fictitious company Vision Corporation from the beginning, 10.7 I believe, but definitely every 11i release has financials plus every other product licensed. Not all the newest products are fully implemented, but they are licensed.

I am able to install oracle ebs successfully, but not able to open the home page. Error coming is "ip address not found".Can you ping the IP address, hostname.domainname?
According to me the issue is that my server is on workgroup and not on any domain. I have given the domain name When installer was asking for domain name. I have also modified the host file for the same.Could you please post the contents of the hosts file here (you may edit the hostname/domainname values to something different as we need to see the format of the entries).
Now i have two options:
1. If i put the server on the domain which is passed to installer when asked.
2. Now, what all i can do to login on application with keeping the server on workgroup.You do not have to join any domain, and you can simply set this from:
- Right click on 'My Computer' > Properties > 'Computer Name' > Change
- Set 'Computer Name' to <hostname>
- Click on More
- Set a 'Primary DNS Suffix of this Computer' to <domainname.com>
thanks for your prompt reply to my previous post. I really admire your work on forums.You are welcome :)

Method to restart Oracle Apps 11i OPP via Unix command line

Hi All,
Does any one knows if there any way to restart Oracle Apps 11i Output Post Processor (OPP) via the UNIX command line?
Thanks

Oracle-User wrote:
Do you recommend that I set the profile option Concurrent: OPP Response Timeout to a higher value instead of increasing OPP Processes from 1 to 2? Yes.
I'm thinking that increasing OPP Response Timeout to a higher value will not solve our issue as it seems that once we get our first OPP Timeout error, all of the requests that need the OPP fail. We've had this occur on a Saturday, which is a day where the volume of jobs that need the OPP is very low. The error you are getting is related to the timeout and it has nothing to do with the number of OPP processes you are running on. Please set this profile option and check then (after you bounce the OPP).
Thanks,

Laptop config for installing oracle apps

Hi All,
what could be the best config and brand for installing oracle apps in laptop for learning purpose? Will oracle apps supports Windows Vista as most of the current laptops has Vista as the default OS?
I have tried installing oracle apps in desktop and not in laptop yet.I found in the net the below steps is one of the ways to install oracle apps in laptop.
1.Install VMware on windows OS (Virtual Machine)
2.Install enterprise linux
3.Install oracle apps
Pls let me know if anyone have installled oracle apps in laptop.
Thanks in advance
kumar

Hi Kumar,
Yes, for learning Vista/VMWare/OEL/Apps would work, but note VMWare not supported on Vista but it does run (boot using Disable Driver Signing) and you might find Linux VMs take 20-30mins or so to start the first time after host boot. Also I'd turn off the Vista frilly bits!
Specs - get something recent, the better hardware the faster it runs! For Vista and R12 on VMWare I'd say you'd want 4GB memory, fast dual core CPU and tons of disk. Also you'll want Vista 64 to get the best out of the memory (and if you want more than 4Gb). Some laptop brands come with options for different OS's like images on DVD or hidden on the harddisk that you can easily reinstall.
PS. Laptops are like desktop's these days, not a huge difference in specs...
PPS. If you want a less painful option try to downgrade to Windows XP (watch memory limits), still lots of hassles with Vista.
PPPS. I'd go for OpenSuse (Suse clone) or Centos (RedHat clone) over OEL for learning machine due to no subscription for updates, etc.
Drop me an email if you want.

Oracle Apps R12 Cloning

Hi,
I'm cloning oracle apps R12. I followed metalink document [ID 406982.1]. while i'm coping the application tier files from source to target system,It is showing error that 27 files are not copied. Tried copying through ftp,external device. But in every task of copying, some files didnt copy. Pls tel me the way so that i can copy the apps tier files completely without missing even the single file.
Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for ur reply.
>
You can make it tar and can copy it,by the way cant you copy 27 files manualy?In our scenario, we copied through filezilla ftp, the entire VIS folder which is into the u01/oracle path. It takes nearly 12 hours to move the entire VIS folder and finally 27 files has been failed in the queue. again we made a reset and tranfered the 27 files but it failed to reset the queue and i dont know how to find the ftp log.
If we do a manuall copy, it shows an error "symbolic link files cannot be copied".
We also did a tar copy. but we get a error msg as "tar: Error is not recoverable; existing now". We used a command "tar -jc /path/to/your/folder > /path/to/your/backup_file.tar.bz2" to copy as a tar file.
