Best failover strategy for 2 node EBS 11i?

Environment: 11.5.10.2
Number of Node : 2
DB& Concurrent Manager on 1 Node
APPS on another node
Concurrent Manager and APPS are using SHARED APPL_TOP.
When DB node / APPS nodes are fails, what is the best failover method can be adopted for E-Business suite?

John,
With the current setup you have, high availability cannot be achieved for the following reasons:
If Node 1 fails --> Database is down and you cannot run it on Node 2
If Node 2 fails --> You will need to run all application services on Node 1 (as a single node installation), and this is not feasible as lots of changes need to be done in the application context file
To achieve high availability you need to have RAC and/or Data Guard implemented. The following notes provide details about RAC and Data Guard implementation with Oracle E-Business Suite:
Note: 341437.1 - Business Continuity for Oracle Applications Release 11i Using Oracle Real Application Clusters and Physical Standby Database
https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=341437.1
Note: 403347.1 - MAA Roadmap for the E-Business Suite
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=403347.1
If you cannot afford implementing RAC and/or Data Guard, you may go with OS cluster (contact your vendor for details), but again this will not protect you if both servers and/or the shared storage goes down.

HTTP Server Patch - 4393827 for Oracle EBS 11i

Hi,
Our env is Oracle EBS 11i (11.5.10) + CU2 +ATG RUP6. We are currently on 9.2.0.8.0
I am currently applying Minimum Baseline Patches for extended support - +Patch Requirements for Extended Support of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10 [ID 883202.1]+.
For the HTTP Server Patch - 4393827 do I need to apply patches for all the below components? It prompted me 4 times to apply the patch for each component.
OHS_1.0.2.2 component
MODPLSQL component
Webcache_1.0.2.2
DB_8.1.7.4
Rgds,
Thiru

Thanks.
I applied HTTP Server Patch - 4393827 in my upgraded instance 11.5.10 CU2ATG RUP6.
Now the Apache version is:
Server version: Oracle HTTP Server Powered by Apache/1.3.19 (Win32)
Server built: Jun 14 2005 15:26:57 (iAS 1.0.2.2.2 rollup 5)
While applying HTTP Server Patch - 4393827, I was prompted to enter Y or N to apply patch for the following components individually. I had the option to enter N also.
OHS_1.0.2.2 component
MODPLSQL component
Webcache_1.0.2.2 component
DB_8.1.7.4 component
I entered Y(Yes) for all the components and the patching was successful for all the components.
I am doubtful about the DB_8.1.7.4 component patch. Should I say Y to this also?. Since my Instance is on 9.2.0.8.0 is it required to apply this component (DB_8.1.7.4 component) also?

Could you share your opinion -- what is a good SLD strategy for CE? Thanks!

Hi,
It wud depend on the landscape u have and requirement stategy.............
If you have a productive version...............obviously centralised SLD wud be preferred.....

Best partitioning strategy for OS 8.6?

Hello,
I have two hard drives on my beige 233 MHz G3 minitower (rev 1):
4 GIG SCSI
80 GIG ATA
I need to install OS 8.6. I was considering using both drives but I do not know what I should put on each drive.
Should I install OS 8.6 onto the 4 GIG drive or the 80 GIG drive?
Option 1:
4 GIG: OS 8.6
80 GIG: applications
Option 2:
4 GIG drive: don't use it at all
80 GIG drive: OS 8.6 and the applications
Option 3 (using partitioning):
4 GIG drive: don't use it at all
80 GIG drive: First partition (15 GIGS): OS 8.6 and the applications. Second partition: (65 GIGs) for data.
Unfortunately 4 GIGs is too small for all my applications and so that is why I was thinking of not even using the 4 GIG drive and instead putting everything onto the 80 GIG drive. I have heard it is a good idea to keep the system and apps on the same volume - I am not sure if this is always true however.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
The other issue is that I might have to further partition the 80 GIG drive into an additional partition for OSX in case I also need to install OSX because I read somewhere that on a beige G3, OSX must be installed in a partition that is no larger than 8 GIGs and it must be the first partition.
This scenario would look like this:
Option 4 (using more partitioning):
4 GIG: don't use it at all
80 GIG:
First partition (7.9 GIGS): OS X and OS X applications
Second partition (15 GIGS): OS 8.6 and the applications
Third partition: (57 GIGs) for data.
(I created a separate realted post under older hardware/beige G3/usage regarding how to boot between OS 8.6 and OS X in case anyone is interested.)

Thanks Don and Jim,
I carefully considered all your comments and here's what I plan to do:
It is important for me to indicate that, for this beige G3, I will use OSX primarily (OS 10.1.5) and therefore I would like its partition to be as large as possible. I read this will benefit OSX's swap file needs. However the OS must be within the 7.7 GIG limit for this particular mac (beige G3). I can therefore conclude that I should make the first partition exactly 7.7 GIGs and use it only for OSX.
Jim, you say that the 8 GIG limit for the startup volume applies to all OSes not just OSX and so that is a critical point for me. I will need to be certain about this. Are you sure OS 8.6 isn't bootable if it is in another partition beyond the first 8 GIGS on a beige G3? You see, I was thinking of installing OS 8.6 on a second partition of the 80 GIG drive like this:
partition 1 (7.7 GIGs): OSX
partition 2: (15 GIGs) : OS 8.6 and its applications
Based on your comment (the 8 GIG limit for the startup volume applies to all OSes) this will not work - the OS 8.6 partition will never boot because it is not within the first 8 GIGs. I had thought that rule only applied to OSX.
And if so, the best solution is to put OS 8.6 on the 4 GIG drive instead.
Here is my final solution:
4 GIG drive:
OS 8.6 (plus maybe photoshop)
80 GIG drive:
partition 1 (7.7 GIGs): OSX (10.1.5 is the version I have)
partition 2: (about 67 GIGs) : all the OSX applications, all the OS 8.6 applications and all my data
partition 3 (5 GIGS) : scratch disk just for running photoshop in OS 8.6 (I may or may not create this last partition - still thinking about it)
I might consider putting one or two of my OS 8.6 applications on the 4 GIG drive - the higher end applications such as photoshop which I think might fit on the 4 GIG drive with the OS 8.6.
As for the 5 GIG scratch partition on the 80 GIG drive, I am still considering if I need to do this or not because I would rarely use it - only for the few times I might run photoshop in OS 8.6. Maybe I should keep this partition anyways for something else just in case.
Other less important notes:
I might, one day, be able to use OS 9 instead of OS8.6 in these examples, in which case I will just substitute 9 for 8.6 in my examples noted above. Howwever for now I am reserving OS 9 for another computer I have. As for classic, I don't need classic support. I would rather just boot directly into 9. I have used classic before and I found it to be slow.
Thanks Jim and Don for your help.
If anyone sees anything wrong with this setup please let me know!

Best iTunes strategy for a family with multiple Windows accounts

On our previous Windows 7 PC, I set up separate Windows accounts for each of our family members. Since iTunes can't be run concurrently on more than one Windows account, I also set up another Windows account named "iTunes," the sole purpose of which is to have iTunes running in a way that everyone can access it without having to log into each others' accounts. When you want to use iTunes, you log into the "iTunes" Windows account; when you want to do something else on the computer, you log into your personal Windows account.
Two questions: (1) Is there a better way to do this? and (2) Am I right that iTunes still can't be run concurrently on more than one Windows account?
Thanks.

This is a user to user support forum. Your fellow users can offer solutions or workarounds based on their experience with the application. If you think it should work differently drop a line to iTunes Feedback.
For reasons unknown Apple haven't chosen to allow iTunes to be suspended in one profile and active in another. My recollection is that this applies even if each profile has a different library, although it is some time since I've committed a personal test.
I'm not sure why my suggestion make less sense that your current approach?. As I understand it currently everybody is either signed into their own account when they can do something other than work with iTunes, or they sign into the special iTunes account where they can't access any of their other stuff. You don't have to disable fast user switching. Follow exactly the same steps, but make sure everyone closes iTunes before turning the computer over to another user. Disabling fast user switching helps to enforce that action.

what is best configuration strategy for rman backup.AND BACKUP WITH RECOVERY CATALOG OR WITHOUT RECOVERY CATALOG
PLEASE TELL ME
Edited by: afzal on Feb 26, 2011 1:45 AM

For simply two databases, there really wouldn't be a need for a recovery catalog. You can still restore/recover without a controlfile and without a recovery catalog.
From this:
afzal wrote:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY window of 14 days.I am assuming you want to keep two weeks worth of backups, therefore these:
alter system set control_file_record_keep_time=15 days;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY window of 14 daysShould be:
RMAN> sql 'alter system set control_file_record_keep_time=22';
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14;22 would give you that extra layer of protection for instances when a problem occurs with a backup and you want to ensure that data doesn't get aged out.

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.

Cutover strategy for BW

BW Gurus,
What is the best cutover strategy for BW. We are planning to do a system copy for go live.
1)What are the points/instructions that need to be completed on the original system before doing a System copy?
2)What are the steps for the Basis?
3)What should be the status of outbound queues on r3/other source systems in the original system?
If the answer is put in points, will be apprecited.
Thanks
Simmi

dear Simmi,
for delta queue check this
https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001584392004#17
I intend to copy the source system, i.e. make a client copy. What will happen with may delta? Should I initialize again after that?
Before you copy a source client or source system, make sure that your deltas have been fetched from the DeltaQueue into SAP NetWeaver BI and that no delta is pending. After the client copy, an inconsistency might occur between SAP NetWeaver BI delta tables and the OLTP delta tables as described in Note 405943. After the client copy, Table ROOSPRMSC will probably be empty in the OLTP since this table is client-independent. After the system copy, the table will contain the entries with the old logical system name which are no longer useful for further delta loading from the new logical system. The delta must be initialized in any case since delta depends on both the SAP NetWeaver BI system and the source system. Even if no dump 'MESSAGE_TYPE_X' occurs in SAP NetWeaver BI when editing or creating an InfoPackage, you should expect that the delta has to be initialized after the copy.

RHEL 6 for EBS 11i (11.5.10.2)

Hi hussein,
I posted a thread in here before about our company buying or upgrading to a newer server which is of higher-end and with bigger CPUs and Memories.
We are currently running EBS 11i (11.5.10.2) on the current server which is about 6 years old. This is single node only and running RHEL 4.6.
Now, due to performance degradation, we are buying newer machines which will be a two-node configuration. The machine vendor said that the O.S. that it runs on will be RHEL 6.
My question is....Is RHEL 6 supported in EBS 11i? Can I clone the existing PROD EBS 11i which is on RHEL 4.6 to
the new target servers running on RHEL 6?
Thanks a lot,
Ms Inday

My question is....Is RHEL 6 supported in EBS 11i? No, you either need to install RHEL4 or RHEL5.
Can I clone the existing PROD EBS 11i which is on RHEL 4.6 to
the new target servers running on RHEL 6?If you install RHEL5, you can use Rapid Clone to clone from RHEL4 to RHEL5.

How can I do the load test for EBS 11i

Dear Suport
I start to try OATS.
I have used a Openscript to record the functional test and it works fine for EBS 11i.
However, I cannot directly use the script from Functional Test. Is there have any ways to convert the Functional Testing script to Load Testing script?
Since the fail of using functional script, I create a new Load Testing script in Openscript and record what I do in functional test. However, I got the below error when I record the script.

!MESSAGE Could not determine request character set for http://localhost:8088/olt/ConnectToServer.do, referer=http://localhost:8088/olt/BuildScenario.do

!MESSAGE formsRecorder.jar does not exist in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext
I have tried to copy the file, formsRecorder.jar, from C:\OracleATS\OpenScript\openscript_configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\bundles\56\1\.cp\lib to C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext
However, the file, formsRecorder.jar, will be deleted when record the test by openscript. (Antivirus too is disabled during record the script).
Do you have any idea for record the Load Testing script by Openscript?

If you want to download and install Developer 6i to your Windows client, then here is the direct link --> http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/forms/6i_rel2_xp.zip
You will need to recompile the form again on your server if the OS is Linux/Unix by referring to the docs referenced above by AsifMuhammad

Backup strategy for ebs R12?

Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding to backup strategy for ebs R12.
Let's say that we have one application server and one database server running, and we would like to have a backup periodically for both servers.
This means that we want to have the exactly same backup of configurations and other files for the application server and the database server in case of any fatal crashes in the servers.
I went through some discussion threads and it seems common way is to use RMAN for the data of database and file system copy for application and database servers. But, I would like to know what's the best way or recommended way for the backup strategy for data and server files of Oracle e-business suite.
Do you guys have any suggestion for this?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
SH

Hi SH;
I suggest check first our previous discussion
backup and recovery startegy for EBS
Re: Backup System
Backup Policy for EBS can
If you make search you can find many other thread which is mention same question
For your issue basicly what we do
1. For our prod db, if possible we take weekly cold backup(sunday) and take rman backup also daily(full backup, but it depends system you can prefer to take incremental)
2. For our system we take file system backup weekly(OS base)
3. For application we take backup every sunday(for some system 15 days or 30 days period). The most important point here if your system prod, and if you need to apply patch to your system you need to have valid backup and also need backup for after patching
One other important issue is we run preclone sh before take backup for apps and db tier
