2 RAC database in the same box

Hello,
I have a RAC env composed of 2 nodes. The database name is dbfunc1 and it is in 11gR2 version under Redhat Linux 5; this is a test env.
Now we need to create another RAC database in the same hosts with database name dbfunc2 with exactly the same structure, same parameters, etc... this RAC database will be used for the same product but for test level 1 purpose. I am thinking to create an XML template for the dbfunc1 using dbca and then create silently the database dbfunc2.
My question is: is it possible to use the already created and configured listener in the hosts or I must create a new listerenr listeneing on new ports to support the database dbfun2? Perhaps, both DB will use the SCAN listener ...
Thank you
Diego

DiegoYou can have both configuration i.e. one local listener for host for both database or two seperate. But as a best pratice you can create seperate listener for new database just to have proper load balancing.
Its obvious that finally SCAN listenr will handover its connections to host listener, so if you have only one then there would be more connection (handle by local listener) as compared to past(when you had only 1 database),
Now you have 2 databases so connections would be more.

Standby Database Creation in the same Box Oracle 9.2.0.1

Box - Sun Solaris 64 bit
Oracle Version - 9.2.0.1
I have a database called 'sales' in the above box. I want to create a standby database in the same box (in different mount point). This is what I did:
1. took cold backup of all datafiles
2. created standby controlfile
3. updated init file.
-when I tried to start the stabdby db, it is throwing error because the controlfile is confusing with the same db name as the primary ('sales').
My question is: Can I create a standby db in the same box?

Hello,
For keeping the standby database on same HOST....it does seems to be great...i must be on separate box....may be on different network...i believe you would be using it for some failiover purpose...Isn't it.
For Unix it is quite easy..you may implement like this...The Issue which you are referring may be because of wrong Oracle Home or SID....(i'm not very much sure..) You may try following steps:
1. Create a separate Unix A/c and set ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID relevant to your StandBy Database. I believe the Home would be same whereas SID would be your standby databse.
2. Take a Cold Backup of All your database files from Production.
3. Copy these files on separate mount points for standby Db. Put them all to relevant directory and be sure to set the Group of all these files as "SYSDBA" This is Must.
4. And then modify your INIT.ORA file i.e. InitSID.ora file accordingly and put the file in ORACLE_HOME
5. Login to Newly created Unix A/c. Check whether ORACLE_SID is set ot not to your standby database instance.
6. Login to sys as sysdba and start up the database. It will by default would try to check & do for your relevant Oracle SID for this profile...

Picture and text in the same box for the calender?

Is it possible to put a small picture in the box (for say May 4) and also get a short text line in the same box?
When I'm doing it now, the picture takes up the whole box and the text goes underneath.
Thanks

Unfortunately that's how it works. If you have a 3rd party editor you could add the text to the picture before adding it to the calendar. Put in a feature request at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

OiD, DB and iAS on the same box

Hello world!
Did anybody installed OiD DB and iAS on the same box and if yes
does it working & ? :-)

Hello Dmirty:
Yes, you can install them on the same box. Here is how I do it:
1. Install OID with its database.
2. Resize the OID database user and system tablespaces according
to the installation instructions in the 9iAS Portal install
guide.
3. Install Portal in a seperate Oracle Home on the same box.
When you install 9iAS version 1.0.2.2, Portal needs a database
but the database it will use cannot reside in the same Home.
Since you are installing OID, and OID installs a database it is
more space efficient to use the same Oracle Home you use for OID
as you use for Portal. Again, install Portal in a seperate Home
from OID but point Portal to the database in the OID instance
durring installation.
Hope this helps.

Upload image to directory and data to database from the same form

Hello all
I'm playing at building a shopping cart (never done one
before) from a tutorial by Gordon Knapp at www.webthang.com.
I have created the site and it works perfectly. Now I want to
extend it.
There is a form that allows the user to add data to the
database. I would also like to be able to upload an image to a
directory on the server and add the data to the database at the
same time from the same form. It would be good if the input field
"<input name="product_picture" type="text" id="product_picture"
tabindex="6" size="50" />" could be populated automatically by
the filename of the image being uploaded, but this isn't a
neccessity.
I have looked at various ASP Upload packages and I can upload
an image alone but none of them make it clear how to upload the
image and add data to the database at the same time.
As this is a private project I need any suggestions to by
free.
The tutorial shows how to create the site in Ultra Dev but
worked perfectly well in DW. The page concerned looks like this. It
is named 'admin_add.asp':

Can you have multiple databases on the same LUN in Exchange 2010?

I'm sure you can but is it possible with exchange 2010 to have multiple databases on the same LUN. We currently have 8 DB's all writing to their own DB drive and separate log drive so 16 drives in total. I need to spin a new DB up this week and
wanted to double check this is possible. I've looked online and cant find anything that I've seen before that says this is possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, multiple databases could be placed on the same LUN, but it's not recommended.
If you have 2 drives fail at the same time (it happens more than you think), then losing 100% of your DBs is a lot worse than losing one of them or some of them depending on where the failures are.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Hope this helps!

How do I create multiple databases on the same ORACLE_HOME

Hi,
I would like to know how can I create 2 databases on the same ORACLE_HOME? Also is it possible to start both databases at the same time?
When I installed oracle,a directory named database has been created under ORACLE_HOME, which contains all initorc1.ora ,etc ?
At this point how do I create another database named orc2 on the same machine?
Thanks in advance.
winnie philip.

Hi,
Set the oracle_sid=db1
Now rename your init.ora to init<oracle_sid>.ora in $oracle_home/dbs directory.
Change the db_name parameter to appropriate name in the init<oracle_sid>.ora file.
Now create the database.
In the same fashion create another database with the new database name and different oracle_sid
Now in order to switch between the databases.
Change the env variable Oracle_Sid to the value of the database which you wanted to start.
Regards
Anand

Can E-RECRUITING share the same box of ECC?

I always install E-RECRUITING on a dedicated server as an ABAP application. Then connect to its backend ECC.
Just curious, can I install E-RECRUITING on the same box where its backend ECC system is installed? ECC and E-RECRUITING will have
different SIDs but co-exist in one Oracle MCOD DB.
Further more, can E-RECRUITING and its backend ECC belong to the same SID but on different clients?
Thanks for help.

Yes and yes. The first scenario is comparable to I2-A and the second one to I2-B. See the application help for details.

Data from different databases in the same report.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to build a reconciliation report in which I need to show the data from the source and target, side by side.
Source and target are both different databases, although being oracle only
Whenever a new data model is created, it gets attached to a data source and in the report we need to choose a specific data model.
Can we have data from different databases in the same report ?

Yes, it is possible.
One way Is to use dataTemplates. There you can make queries from any number of different databases (The max I have done is 5).
It looks something like that:
<dataTemplate name="NameOfTemplate">
<dataQuery>
     <sqlStatement name="Q1" dataSourceRef="Connection1">
          <![CDATA[     select * from table1]]>
     </sqlStatement>
     <sqlStatement name="Q2" dataSourceRef="Connection2">
          <![CDATA[     select * from table2]]>
     </sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
     <group name="RESULT1" source="Q1">
          <element name="P_FIRST_NAME" value="P_FIRST_NAME"/>
     </group>
     <group name="RESULT2" source="Q2">
          <element name="P_DATE" value="P_DATE"/>
     </group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>dataStructure is very important when you get data from different places, if you don't define those elements, then only the result from Q1 is shown.
The second possible way is to make as two different data models, each containing their own query and then set Main Data Set as concatenated SQL Data Source.
Best of luck,
Evelyn

BW and R/3 in the same box with a single instance ECC 5.0

Hi anybody using this scenario of having bw and r/3 in the same box....we are planing to consider in our project.
will be happy if anybody can provide me some help on this.
thanks and regards
neel

HI Neel Kamal,
I think its a better option to distinguish OLTP like R/3 or ECC and OLAP like BW rather on a single instance
from the above posts
Let us know if this holds good
Thanks,

Creating a Standby Database with the Same Directory Structure

Hello gurus,
I am self-learning the feature Oracle Data Guard, so I am testing it on Oracle 10g R2.
At Oracle documentation there is a section F.4.: Creating a Standby Database with the Same Directory Structure*, that explains how to create a standby database with RMAN but there is something that I don´t understand:
In the standby server, I created a database with the SID equal to production database* with the objetive to have the same directory structure, but when I try to startup nomount the standby database with pfile appear this expected error:
ORA-16187: LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG contains duplicate, conflicting or invalid attributes
So my question is: Is possible have the Same Directory Structure on both: Production and StandBy server?
Thanks in advanced.

Uwe and mseberg: thanks for your quick answers
I have a doubt: How can you have the same directory structure if you have differents SIDs?, for example if you follow the OFA suggestions you would must have:
On Production server: */u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/system.dbf*
On StandBy server: */u01/app/oracle/oradata/STANDBY/system.dbf*
Or you created the directory structure manually on StandBy server? For example replacing the string STANDBY* to PRIMARY* before create the database using dbca.
Do you understand my doubt? Excuse me for my english.
Thanks.

Can we start more than one user created database at the same time

Hi.,
Can we start/work more than one user created database at the same time ??
--Shyam

Hi Shyam,
I really dont understand what you have asked?
If your question is can we start more than one database at the same time then the answer to that is yes but provided to have enough resources on your server to support running of two or more different databases on the same machine.
