Apps 11i disaster recovery with hot standby db

Hello,
We are trying to formulate a disaster recovery plan for Apps 11i (single node install) utilizing a hot standby database for the db layer and file synchronization
(rsync, rcp, whatever) of the application stack. We're comfortable with the hot standby db technology, but uncertain that simply keeping the application stack
sync'd on the standby host is sufficient to have a complete failover solution. Is anyone successfully using this type of configuration and , if so, is there a
cookbook methodology for promoting the standby system to a primary? Can you simply rename the host on the standby and turn the key on?
Thanks for any/all suggestions.
Terry Riddle

Hi,
we are planning a similar recovery strategy. Where can I find documentation about your strategy? A consultant has suggested has to install Legato with two products for DBs synchronization.
Thanks Gigi

  • EBS 11i Disaster Recovery using tape backup on alternate Unix Server.

    Hi,
    I would really appreciate if you could please share with us what is the process to recovery EBS 11i environment to an alternate DR server using the latest tape backup in case any disaster happens to the existing production server.
    I need to prepare and test disaster recovery plan document using the latest tape backups.
    We have single node EBS 11i environment with Apps and DB installed on the same AIX Unix Server.
    We also have full database RMAN backup every night.
    The new alternate DR Unix server will have different hostname and IP address.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    Please refer to the following docs.

  • Installation of Oracle Apps 11i Realese 5 with 11.5.6 Family Pack

    I am having problem starting the installation of this program.......Oracle Apps 11i Realese 5. I have Windows 2000 and would like to do CD installation rather than Stage installation.
    I have downloaded and ran the JDK-1_1_8_009-Win. Here are the steps taken: I inserted the Red CD "Start Here" in my CD-ROM, opened the DOS prompt, and changed the C:> prompt to E:> prompt which is my CD-ROM drive, I then typed E:>cd rapidwiz....Enter, this opens E:\rapidwiz>, I then typed rapidwiz.cmd which was supposed to open my Oracle Universal Installer, butI got: E:\rapidwiz>start.\bin\launch.exe.RapidWiz.cL
    E:\rapidwiz>
    What do I do from here, do I insert the Disk 1 or what, because I have 14 CD's to be installed.

    Hi Timi,
    Nice to see that you're involved in the setup of Oracle Applications 11.5.5. I see that you've run into a few roadblocks and while I am sure that I have a solution to the problem you're facing, it's a tad too long to get into on this forum.
    If you could get in touch with me via E-Mail ([email protected]) or call me at 732 423 8023 (I'm available after 8pm EST), I'd be glad to help you out. Forgive me for saying so but the installation process is rather long and I have no desire to outline the entire process here.
    Just curious, are you professionally associated with Oracle Applications or does it stem from a personal interest ?
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Best Wishes,

  • Disaster Recovery with different ASM diskgroups

    Hi@all,
    actually I'm trying to test a Disaster Recovery Scenario. At a Oracle Linux 6 server with installed Grid Infra 12c and Ora Database 11.2.0.4 (there is also a 12.1.0.2 database instance) I'm trying to do a disaster recovery. But I'm getting wild by restoring and recovering the database. The problem here is, that the ASM diskgroup name has changed. As you read out I also switched the physical server, but I think that shouldn't be any problem.
    At the old server I've two ASM diskgroups "+DATA" and "+FRA_1", at the new they're called "+DATA_SRVNAME" and "+FRA_SRVNAME". I've already changed the startup parameter in spfile, but now after restoring the controlfile RMAN has the directions to the old diksgroup:
    RMAN> report schema;
    using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
    RMAN-06139: WARNING: control file is not current for REPORT SCHEMA
    Report of database schema for database with db_unique_name SID
    List of Permanent Datafiles
    ===========================
    File Size(MB) Tablespace           RB segs Datafile Name
    1    0        SYSTEM               ***     +DATA/SID/datafile/system.438.816606399
    So I've tried three ways. First was to rename the datafile name:
    ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '+DATA/SID/datafile/system.438.816606399' TO '+DATA_SRVNAME/SID/datafile/system.438.816606399';
    Second was to set the newname in RMAN:
    set newname for datafile 16 to '+DATA_SRVNAME/SID/datafile/mms_basic_tab.455.816617697/';
    And second was to recreate the controlfile with
    CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "SID" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
        MAXLOGFILES 16
        MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
        MAXDATAFILES 254
        MAXINSTANCES 1
        MAXLOGHISTORY 1815
    LOGFILE
      GROUP 1 ('+DATA__SRVNAME', '+FRA_SRVNAME')  SIZE 1024M,
    DATAFILE
      '+DATASRVNAME/SID/datafile/system.438.816606399',
    CHARACTER SET AL32UTF8;
    But all three methods gave me the error, that the datafile at the new location isn't available (example):
    ORA-15012: ASM file '+DATA_QUM169/cogn11/datafile/system.438.816606399' does not exist
    So now my question to you: How am I able to tell the controlfile or database to use the other ASM diskgroup?
    I know, easiest way would be to create a diskgroup +DATA and do the restore / recover, but at the new server I've no more storage to assign to a new diskgroup and because of there are running other instances I would'nt change the ASM diskgroups.
    Did you have anny solution?
    Thanks a lot and Regards,
    Dave

    Please  try this
    RMAN> run 
    set newname for datafile 1 to '+DATA_SRVNAME'; 
    restore datafile 1;
      switch datafile 1;
      recover datafile 1;
    Did you created +DATA_SRVNAME  diskgroup?

  • Running Apps 11i on Linux with 200 concurrent users

    Hi,
    Is there anybody out there running a large apps 11i installation (with the
    database and middle tier) on Linux ?
    We are currently running 11.5.9 Apps with a 9.2 database on Sun kit but I'd
    like to investigate Linux/Intel as we are planning to replace our hardware.
    We have about 200 concurrent users, with a total of 1800 registered users, using
    Financials, i-Procurement and HR.
    Thanks
    Tony Vallis

    Having worked extensively on Linux, its true that is is limitied in 32 bit mode to addressing a few GB of memory for each application (It is at least better than windows with its 2/3GB limit), although you can play around with it and memory windows to get more out of it for the database tier.
    We have used 1 * 6650 with 8GB RAM running AS 2.1 DB Tier
    and 2 * 2650 with 8 GB RAM ruuning AS 2.1 Apps Tier with conc mgrs too.
    This was with 11.5.10 and it comfortabley supported 200 users. The servers were 2.8GHz Dual core Xeons. Redhat 3 or 4 would have been better becuase of a file cache issue on the database tier.
    Also rememeber to consider Oracle licensing, A faster CPU might cost alot more but when oracle licenses are based on core/cpus then you may save alot more by having the highest power cpus u can (MHz rating not ness cores). Sun T2000 servers are quite nifty too if you want to stay with traditional unix kit but not want the price tag.
    When workign at internally in Oracle We quoted one client a 3 * 4 CPU 6650 with 8GB in RAC config with 12 * 2 CPU 2650 with 4GB to support 5000 concurrent users. I wasnt convinced this would work at the time but the client had massively over estimated the number of users they would actually have so all was fine.
    If I was doing this now I would go for a single 64bit DB tier with 4 CPUs and lots of memory, I would have lots of small8gb mid tiers 2850's, with a hard ware load balancer in front and a dedicated GB backend network. I would ony go for RAC if I needed the resiliance or had a large number of users e.g. 1000+
    All in my opinion and I am in no way suggesting this as a solution for any other customers. Always perform a hardware siazing exercise in conjunction with your hardware vendor (remembering they always want you to buy more hadrware than u need).

  • "Disaster Recovery with Messaging server"

    Suggest a better solution for load balancing on Netscape Messaging Server. Also for disaster recovery - in case one server goes down.

    Better solution than what? Nothing? Use a cluster for the mail store. Use more than a single server for the other components and use a load balancer as the front end for those services.

  • SQL Server 2005 High Availability and Disaster Recovery options

    Hi, We are are working on a High Availability & Disaster Recovery Planning solution for an application database which is on SQL Server 2005. What different options have we got to implement this for SQL Server 2005 and after we have everything setup how
    do we test the failover is working?
    Thanks in advance.........

    DR : Disaster recovery is the best option for the business to minimize their data loss and downtime. The SQL server has a number of native options. But, everything is depends upon your recovery time objective RTO and recovery point objective RPO.
    1. Data center disaster
    Geo Clustering
    2. Server(Host)/Drive (Except shared drive) disaster
    Clustering
    3. Database/Drive disaster     
    Database mirroring
    Log shipping
    Replication
    Log shipping
    Log shipping is the process of automating the full database backup and transaction log on a production server and then automatically restores them on to the secondary (standby) server.
    Log shipping will work either Full or Bulk logged recovery model.
    You can also configure log shipping in the single SQL instance.
    The Stand by database can be either restoring or read only (standby).
    The manual fail over is required to bring the database online.
    Some data can be lost (15 minutes).
    Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication
    Peer-to-peer transactional replication is designed for applications that might read or might modify the data in any database that participates in replication. Additionally, if any servers that host the databases are unavailable, you can modify the application
    to route traffic to the remaining servers. The remaining servers contain same copies of the data.
    Clustering
    Clustering is a combination of one or more servers it will automatically allow one physical server to take over the tasks of another physical server that has failed. Its not a real disaster recovery solution because if the shared drive unavailable we cannot
    bring the database to online.
    Clustering is best option it provides a minimum downtime (like 5 minutes) and data loss in case any data center (Geo) or server failure.
    Clustering needs extra hardware/server and it’s more expensive.
    Database mirroring
    Database mirroring introduced in 2005 onwards. Database Mirroring maintain an exact copy of a database on a different server. It has automatic fail over option and mainly helps to increase the database availability too.
    Database mirroring only works FULL recovery model.
    This needs two instances.
    Mirror database always in restoring state.

    HADR Considerations
    Need to Understand the business motivations and regulatory requirements that are driving the customer's HA/DR requirements. Understand how your customer categorizes the workload from an HA/DR perspective. There is likely to be an alignment between the needs
    and categorization.
    Check for both the recovery time objective (RTO) and the recovery point objective (RPO) for different workload categories, for both a failure within a data center (local high availability) and a total data center failure (disaster recovery). While RPO and
    RTO vary for different workloads because of business, cost, or technological considerations, customers may prefer a single technical solution for ease in operations. However, a single technical solution may require trade-offs that need to be discussed with
    customers so that their expectations are set appropriately.
    Check and understand if there is an organizational preference for a particular HA/DR technology. Customers may have a preference because of previous experiences, established operational procedures, or simply the desire for uniformity across databases from
    different vendors. Understand the motives behind a preference: A customers' preference for HA/DR may not be because of the functions and features of the HA/DR technology. For example, a customer may decide to adopt a third-party solution for DR to maintain
    a single operational procedure. For this reason, using HA/DR technology provided by a SAN vendor (such as EMC SRDF) is a popular approach.
    To design and adopt an HA/DR solution it is also important to understand the implications of applying maintenance to both hardware and software (including Windows security patching). Database mirroring is often adopted to minimize the service disruption
    to achieve this objective.
    HADR Options :
    Failover clustering for HA and database mirroring for DR.
    Synchronous database mirroring for HA/DR and log shipping for additional DR.
    Geo-cluster for HA/DR and log shipping for additional DR.
    Failover clustering for HA and storage area network (SAN)-based replication for DR.
    Peer-to-peer replication for HA and DR (and reporting).
    Backup & Restore ( DR)
    keep your server DB backups in network location ( DR)
    Always keep your sql server 2005 upto date, in case if you are not getting any official support from MS then you have to take care of any critical issues and more..

  • Disaster recovery of Oracle Apps(financials)

    We have an 11i Financials App server and 8i backend database installed on two seperate units. At our remote location, we have a standby database. Archive log files generated by production are copied and applied to the standby. To minimize support costs, we would like to have a Finanncials App server on the same machine as the standby database. The Financial's app server is more for disaster recovery in case the production office is inaccessable for an extended period of time.
    Are there any white papers on Financials (Apps) disaster recovery?

  • Best Way to setup a disaster Recovery site for a logical standby database

    I have a logical standby DB (L1DB) as a reporting db on the same machine as the primary (P1DB). We are planning on building a disaster recovery site with similar hardware and potentially have disk mirroring of atleast the redo log files.
    The DR site can hold an additional physical standby (S1DB) for the primary (P1DB). I am trying to understand what would be the best way to setup the Disaster Recovery site for the L1DB logical stdby. Ideally, when the disaster happens, and I no longer have P1DB and L1DB, I should be able to switch to S1DB as the new primary. But how do I setup to have a L2DB that takes the place of L1DB and has its contents and can be setup as a logical standby of S1DB?

    If you already setup one logical standby, then you know how it works, so not sure what question you are asking ?
    Personally I would setup L2DB as a standby of the original primary P1DB. Having downstream standby databases complicates things, and adds additional lag between primary transaction time and L2DB apply.

  • Synchronizing Disaster Recovery site with the production server

    Hi All,
    One of the customer is asking the following query:
    "How Disaster recovery site can be synchronized with the production server and how do they switch? Will the web logic server do this for them?"
    This customer is having two sites one live and one a DR (Disaster Recovery) site on different location.
    Can somebody answer my query?
    Thanks in advance.,
    Regards.,
    Naveen

    Firstly
    Is your Datagaurd Physical( Redo Apply) or Logical( SQL apply)?
    Does it have Datagaurd Broker?
    When Datagaurd is setup in your environment - on the primary database( live database) the Datagaurd users LGWR or/and ARCH process to collect redo data and ship this data to standby ( DR site) and the FAL process to provide client-server mechanism for shipping archived logs to standby.
    On standby database, The Datagaurd users RFS process to receive redo records from primary database, the MRP process applies redo information to standby database.
    If the Data Gaurd Broker is enabled, Datagaurd also used DMON process to manage and monitor both primary and standby databases as a unified configuration.
    When there is any connectivity issue to the standby and when connection is re-established, the accumulated archive logs are automatically shipped and apploed to stanby, until stanby is resynchronized with the primary. This process does not require any administrative intervention.
    If there is a very large Archive Gap between the primary and secondary due to some major issue. Then the unshipped archive logs need to be shipped manually from primary to standby and needs to be applied in standby to sync up with primary. For some reason there will also arise rare issues like problem with not applying of archive logs though log shipping is success. So some work arround will solve it.
    Comming to planned /unplanned outages of production site.
    Datagaurd has Failover and Switchover( planned ) methods, These are not automatic, but have to be explicitly initiated by the administrator( So there will be downtime but minimal). Once initiated, Datagaurd automates the processes involved.

  • Install instructions for Search Modeler and integrating with Apps 11i

    Below are all the steps I took for creating integrating Search Modeler with an Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 ATG RUP 7 instance called ERNIE.
    Much thanks to Oracle Support ( Rajesh Ghosh, Vikas Soolapani and Roger Ford), as this simply wouldn't have been possible without them.
    There are a few things in this document that may not be pertinent to your environment if you're doing this. I've made attempts to clarify those possibly optional sections in the documentation.
    I've broken the document down into the following multiple parts
    o Setting up a new RedHat 4.8 x86 server called ausSEARCHdev (The server is in AUStin, TX, is dedicated to SEARCH, and is for our DEV environment)
    o SES (Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.2 install
    o SES 10.1.8.4 patchset install
    o SES CPU patch apply
    o Standalone OC4J and ADF installation
    o Search Modeler installation and configuration
    o Configure ERNIE Apps instance to be on valid self-signed SSL certificate
    o Import ERNIE SSL certificate into SES and Search Modeler
    using aussearchdev initially

    we're going to go with the standalone OC4j 10.1.3.3 and Oracle ADF 10.1.3.3 method
    The URLs for these products are
    http://blogs.oracle.com/ebssearch/2009/10/available_now_oracle_search_modeler_11_for_oracle_e-business_suite_11i.html
    and specifically
    OC4J - http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/oc4j/101330/oc4j_extended_101330.zip
    ADF - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/adfinstaller10133.html
    OC4J install
    First you need to have Java 1.5 on the machine. Latest is 1.5.0_22. Package is in /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES
    as root on aussearchdev
    cd /usr/local
    cp /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin .
    chmod 700 jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin
    ./jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin
    yes
    install OC4J just by copying over the directory
    as oracle on aussearchdev
    mkdir -p /d01/oracle/oc4j
    cd /d01/oracle/oc4j
    cp -r /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/oc4j/* .
    ADF install
    vi /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf/adfinstaller.properties
    change the following
    OracleHome = /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf
    DesHome = /d01/oracle/oc4j/
    type = OC4J
    as root
    cd /usr/bin
    rm java
    (yes)
    ln -s /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_22/bin/java
    su - oracle
    java -version     should now return 1.5.0_22
    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_22
    cd /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf
    java -jar runinstaller.jar -version
    returns The version for the ADF libraries being installed is 10.1.3.41.57 - yes, that is apparently 10.1.3.3.
    java -jar runinstaller.jar adfinstaller.properties
    output looks good, do not be concerned by

    So, creating a self signed SSL certificate for ERNIE EBS instance (this will not work if you use an SSL certificate for another server like say, PROD)
    doing this on ausernieapp
    openssl genrsa -des3 -out ausernieapp.key 1024
    PEM key is ausernieapp
    openssl req -new -key ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.csr
    PEM key is ausernieapp
    Country US
    State Texas
    Locality Austin
    Organization Name Corporation
    Organizational Unit Name Information Technology
    Common Name ausernieapp.domainname.com
    Email address [email protected]
    No challenge password
    No optional company name
    Now let's remove the passphrase from the key
    cp ausernieapp.key ausernieapp.key.orig
    openssl rsa -in ausernieapp.key.orig -out ausernieapp.key
    Now let's generate a self-signed certificate
    openssl x509 -req -days 1000 -in ausernieapp.csr -signkey ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.crt
    Install the private key and certificate
    cd $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.crt

    Below are all the steps I took for creating integrating Search Modeler with an Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 ATG RUP 7 instance called ERNIE.
    Much thanks to Oracle Support ( Rajesh Ghosh, Vikas Soolapani and Roger Ford), as this simply wouldn't have been possible without them.
    There are a few things in this document that may not be pertinent to your environment if you're doing this. I've made attempts to clarify those possibly optional sections in the documentation.
    I've broken the document down into the following multiple parts
    o Setting up a new RedHat 4.8 x86 server called ausSEARCHdev (The server is in AUStin, TX, is dedicated to SEARCH, and is for our DEV environment)
    o SES (Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.2 install
    o SES 10.1.8.4 patchset install
    o SES CPU patch apply
    o Standalone OC4J and ADF installation
    o Search Modeler installation and configuration
    o Configure ERNIE Apps instance to be on valid self-signed SSL certificate
    o Import ERNIE SSL certificate into SES and Search Modeler
    using aussearchdev initially
    rh4 x86, default oracle build
    ** htop and collectl are open source free performance monitoring packages we utilize**

    chkconfig collectl on

    **We still need to install the necessary rpms so that collectl logs are compressed

    useradd -u 501 oracle
    groupadd -g 504 dba
    usermod -G 504 oracle
    verification:

    ** /mnt/rpms is a network dumpspot we use to hold ISOs for OS software such as Redhat Linux
    mkdir /mnt/oraclebackup
    mkdir /mnt/rpms
    add the following to /etc/fstab
    XXXXXXX:/patches/oraclebackup /mnt/oraclebackup nfs defaults,hard,nolock 0 0
    XXXXXXX:/esxpress/nfs /mnt/rpms nfs rw,addr=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 0 0
    mount /mnt/rpms
    Next need to install various oracle needed RPMs.
    cd /mnt/rpms/rh40_upd8/RedHat/RPMS/
    rpm -ivh perl-Compress-Zlib-1.42-1.el4.i386.rpm
    rpm -ivh libaio-devel-0.3.105-2.i386.rpm
    rpm -ivh sysstat-5.0.5-25.el4.i386.rpm

    service collectl restart
    cd /tmp

    rpm -ivh oracle-validated-1.0.0-18.el4.i386.rpm
    Now we should have all the RPMs we need.

    we're going to go with the standalone OC4j 10.1.3.3 and Oracle ADF 10.1.3.3 method
    The URLs for these products are
    http://blogs.oracle.com/ebssearch/2009/10/available_now_oracle_search_modeler_11_for_oracle_e-business_suite_11i.html
    and specifically
    OC4J - http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/oc4j/101330/oc4j_extended_101330.zip
    ADF - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/adfinstaller10133.html
    OC4J install
    First you need to have Java 1.5 on the machine. Latest is 1.5.0_22. Package is in /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES
    as root on aussearchdev
    cd /usr/local
    cp /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin .
    chmod 700 jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin
    ./jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin
    yes
    install OC4J just by copying over the directory
    as oracle on aussearchdev
    mkdir -p /d01/oracle/oc4j
    cd /d01/oracle/oc4j
    cp -r /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/oc4j/* .
    ADF install
    vi /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf/adfinstaller.properties
    change the following
    OracleHome = /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf
    DesHome = /d01/oracle/oc4j/
    type = OC4J
    as root
    cd /usr/bin
    rm java
    (yes)
    ln -s /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_22/bin/java
    su - oracle
    java -version     should now return 1.5.0_22
    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_22
    cd /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf
    java -jar runinstaller.jar -version
    returns The version for the ADF libraries being installed is 10.1.3.41.57 - yes, that is apparently 10.1.3.3.
    java -jar runinstaller.jar adfinstaller.properties
    output looks good, do not be concerned by

    So, creating a self signed SSL certificate for ERNIE EBS instance (this will not work if you use an SSL certificate for another server like say, PROD)
    doing this on ausernieapp
    openssl genrsa -des3 -out ausernieapp.key 1024
    PEM key is ausernieapp
    openssl req -new -key ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.csr
    PEM key is ausernieapp

    Now let's remove the passphrase from the key
    cp ausernieapp.key ausernieapp.key.orig
    openssl rsa -in ausernieapp.key.orig -out ausernieapp.key
    Now let's generate a self-signed certificate
    openssl x509 -req -days 1000 -in ausernieapp.csr -signkey ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.crt
    Install the private key and certificate

    Thanks

    To copy the file from the primary, you can use RMAN, or manual hot backup copy with begin backup and end backup mode.
    You can read the doc about creation of standby database :
