Backup strategy for Oracle E-Business Suite

Hi guys,
I am administrating an EBS (E-Business Suite 11i) System with two Application servers and two database servers running in RAC mode. At the moment, the system has just been backed up at database tier by using rman. Now, I also want to backup application tier. So, here is my questions:
- What is the most important thing which I must care when I backup the application. Because I am new at EBS so, more details and specific is, better is.
- Is a good approach if I back up entire the current system data (include binary file, class file, misc files, forms, reports,...)
Finally, anyone can share some experiences when do backup these systems?
Thanks and best regards,

  • Long-term  retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g

    Hello,
    I need design a Archivelog, Level 0 and Level 1 long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g, It must be based in Rman with tapes.
    ¿Somebody could tell me what it's the best option to configure long-term retention backups in Oracle?, "CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 1825 DAYS;" It's posibble ?
    Regards and thanks in advance

    Hello;
    RECOVERY WINDOW is an integer so yes its possible. Does it make sense?
    Later My bad, this is Oracle 11 only ( the gavinsoorma link ) . Getting harder and harder to think about 10. Don't think I would use RECOVERY WINDOW.
    I would let the tape backup system handle the retention of your rman backups.
    Using crosscheck and delete expired commands you can keep the catalog current with the available backups on tape.
    Oracle 10
    Keeping a Long-Term Backup: Example
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmbackp.htm#i1006840
    http://web.njit.edu/info/oracle/DOC/backup.102/b14191/advmaint005.htm
    Oracle 11
    If you want to keep 5 years worth of backups I might just use KEEP specific date using the UNTIL TIME clause :
    keep until time 'sysdate+1825'More info :
    RMAN KEEP FOREVER, KEEP UNTIL TIME and FORCE commands

  • Is there an associated Linux GUI Desktop available with the VM Virtual Appliances for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.4 64 bit or is it all command line?

    I have downloaded the 16 pieces of Oracle VM Virtual Appliances for Oracle E-Business Suite (12.2.4) for x86 64 bit V52470-01 Parts 1 & 2 thru V52477-01 Parts 1 & 2 and unzipped and created the .ova.
    I then imported that into VBox 4.3.22.
    I went thru and changed the passwords for root, oracle, and applmgr as requested and entered a static IP.
    I have not configured the DB or Applications yet.
    However, I want to know if there is a typical GUI Desktop that can be brought up.
    Thank you.

    I have not been able to find a GUI desktop - I believe it is disabled or not included in the media.

  • Upgrading oracle database 9.2.0.5 to 9.2.0.8 for Oracle E-Business suite

    I have applied patch to upgrade Oracle E-business suite(11.5.10) database from 9.2.0.5 to 9.2.0.8. but after applying patch also it showing 9.2.0.5. please help me.

    Thanks Hussain for ur reply
    server OS is windows server 2003 std. i have performed following steps
    1.     First I installed 11.5.10.2 Technology Stack Validation Patch (Revision 1 July, 2005) on both application (D:\Oracle\visappl) and database (D:\oracle\Visdb\9.2.0) home. (p4318672_11i_GENERIC.zip)
    2.     Then I review the html log file generated for both the home. Html file generated for oracle home with ALL PASS status. But html file for DBMS oracle home has return FAIL status. I review the reason in txkVal11510MP_DB.html. it gives me following reason to fail
    “11.5.10.2 requires that your Oracle 9iR2 database version to be 9.2.0.6.0 or higher on Windows platform. Please refer to Oracle MetaLink Note 216550.1 "Oracle Applications Release 11i with Oracle 9i Release 2 (9.2.0)" to upgrade to the latest certified version of Oracle 9iR2. After upgrading to 9.2.0.6, you must apply 9.2.0.6 patch 5 ( 4287598 ) before upgrading to 11.5.10.2. “
    3.     I went through the Metalink Note 216550.1. I refer Section 2 of it. I applied patch 5035661. when I applied this patch , output of this patch mentioned that OUI 2.2 is already installed on both the Home.
    4.     Then I applied 9.2.0.6 patch 5 (4287598). Prior to this I applied patch 2617419 because patch 4287598 require OPatch 1.0.0.0.52.
    5.     I performed patch 4287598 post installation task also. I didn’t apply windows patch 6, because my database was not showing 9.2.0.8 as required by windows patch 6.
    6.     so this is the complete task list I have done to upgrade database from 9.2.0.5 to 9.2.0.8
    output of given query is as below:
    Oracle9i Catalog Views     9.2.0.5.0     VALID

  • Serverstats for Oracle E-Business Suite R12

    Hi,
    I am setting up some serverstat monitors for performance tests on Oracle E-Business Suite R12 application (for benchmarking and tuning). I have set up some monitors for measuring CPU and memory on the Webserver, Application server(both Oracle App server 10) and Database(Oracle 10g). Also I have set up monitors for the V$SYSSTAT & V$SESSTAT views for the database.
    What other monitors should I set up for monitoring the E-business suite application.
    Any advice from your experience would be very helpful.
    Regards
    CP

    Hi,
    You will just have to add the monitor profiles for linux in your OLT. You will need a user in your webserver who can run commands for iostat,vmstat,netstat, sar or whatever other monitors you want to set up. You can also set up virtual agent in Serverstats to run these commands individually using the user on webserver. If you have any more questions, you can post it here.
    Please go through the Serverstats guide that comes with OATS installation to know more about setting up monitors.

  • Tar: Unexpected EOF in archive for Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL

    Hi All,
    System = Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64 bit)
    I downloaded Oracle EBS Vision instance from Oracle eDelivery.
    File Name = Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ova.00
    File Type = Archive
    There are 14 others files like the same and they have been successfully extracted. This is the first file out of the 15 total files.
    I am unable to extract the above file.
    Steps Performed
    1. Initially, I tried to extract directly. I got the error
    Could not open "Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ova.00"
    Archive Type not supported
    2. Then I renamed the file to "Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ova.00.tar" and tried to do the following
    $ tar xvf Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ova.00.tar
    Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ovf
    Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL-disk1.vmdk
    tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
    tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
    tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
    Now the above two downloaded files Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ovf and Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL-disk1.vmdk are of unknown file type.
    Ideally I should have got a file = Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ova.00 (File Type = Program) like all other 14 files and as per the installation steps that I see in the videos for the installation.
    Can anyone help me on this?
    Thanks,
    Niladri
