Best way for clone db

hi All,
I've a simple question about clone DB.
I've a big (5TB) production database. I need to clone this database for test environment on second server.
I'm think to use rma DUPLICATE command. Both of server have can read and write on the same file system
oracle is 11 2.0.2 version and database use asm
Can I create a new rac instance on the second server and use it for restore db? How? Normaly I restore on single instance and after create DB and service for rac.....
Have you any tech doc for this ?
Regards
Giovanni

Hi,
yes. you can. you simply need to shutdown one of the nodes (target nodes), alter the init for cluster_database=false, and then do a normal duplicate.
yes, you need an auxiliary, because you are going to be connected to both DBs: target (production) and auxiliary (test).
No problem there.
Regarding time on network. you will only use the network heavily if you run a duplicate from active database.
if you run a normal duplicate, the command uses already existing backup pieces, with minor network communication between the target and auxiliary.
RMAN only connects to get the CF information.
From a recent experience, I duplicated a 4TB database in 23hours with no noticeable burden on production. So you have a baseline.
hope this helps.

    Hi,
    What is the best way to clone a form field in BC.  I tried using jquery .clone.  It works fine on other forms for me but not on the BC forms, why? is it just me?  Any help would be great. Thanks

    I mean, duplicate a field with the click of a button.

  • What's the best way to clone my boot drive?

    I just bought a new 500GB drive for my G4. What's the best way to clone my boot drive?
    Is there a way to put the new drive on the buss as a second drive and then copy everything from my boot drive to the new drive? How do I make the new drive bootable?
    Or
    Do I have to install OSX on the new drive, put the old boot drive on the buss as a second drive and migrate everything to the new drive with the Utilities Migration Assitant program?
    Are there programs available to make this easier? Where & how much?
    Thanks for any help I can get.

    bamim2:
    Dr. Smoke's FAQ Backup and Recovery has excellent advice on developing a backup strategy.
    You already have a larger extrnal HDD (Hopefully it is firewire?) The next step is to format and partition the HDD. (see step-by-step below). And thirdly you will need a good cloning utility. Carbon Copy Cloner has already been suggested, and the latest version is excellent. I, personally, prefer SuperDuper for its ease of use and efficiency. Both are great tools and relatively simple to use.
    I mentioned the hope that you have a firewire. One of the wonderful benefits of using an external firewire HDD for backing up is that you can make a bootable clone. This gives you an emergency boot drive in case of a problem. It also gives you an external device for running diagnostics and repairs from the extnernal to the computer and vice-versa.

  • Best way to Clone 11i on Linux w/o any Oracle SW on target.

    Hi,
    I have an instance of BS 11.5.10.2 on Linux 4.6 (Single Node) stage. I have another Linux box stage which also has HEAL 4.6 which don't have any kind of oracle software. But both system has same oracle/capping users, file systems, host configuration and OS RPM.
    I want to setup stage box as an test instance for stage. In order to clone the 11.5.10.2 from stage to stage, do I need to install any Oracle software to perform cloning. What would be the best way to clone 11.5.10.2 ; in this scenario?
    Thanks
    Samar

    You do not need to install any Oracle software before cloning, but you need to install all pre-req. software and packages at the OS level before doing so. Rapid Clone will NOT take care of that, the OS at the source and the target nodes should be identical in terms of packages and pre-req. software. Moreover, make sure you have all software components installed as in Note: 230672.1 (Under "Section 1: Prerequisites").
    For the list of pre-req. OS packages/patches and kernel settings, please refer to:
    Note: 294932.1 - Recommendations to Install Oracle Applications 11i

  • Best way for Database Reorg.

    Hi Experts
    I want your advise on what is the best way for Database Re-Organizing / Database Refresh.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    what is the best way for Database Re-Organizing?Good question!
    Oracle's official way to do online table reorgs is with the dbms_redefinition utility, and here are my notes:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_online_table_reorganization.htm
    Under the covers, it uses CTAS, which can also be done in parallel:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_create_table_select_ctas.htm
    Of course, you can also do reorgs with Data Pump . . . .
    what is the best way for Database Refresh? I use a fast clone procedure:

  • Best way to clone an existing drive, then clone back to a dual SSD Raid 0 setup?

    Have a Mac Pro 5,1 (mid 2012) and want to install 2 SSD drives in a Raid 0.
    Will attempt to use the Apple Disk Utility to set up the raid. any suggestions on this first part will be welcome!
    But what is the best way to clone the existing SATA drive onto the Raid setup?
    The 2 SSD are Samsung 84 Pro 256 GB units, installed on a Temp SSD Pro 6 Gb SATA PCIe card.
    The OS is Mavericks 9.1.
    Thanks !

    Always no matter what, have a clone or three - clean, working image, last version before OS X 1.2.3 that you are about to install.
    It is about INSTALLING OS X, not updating once you have it - though updates and security updates are known to be monkey wrenches too at times.
    Never remove safety net, no matter how safe it seems.
    Use a clone to run DU and repair the drive, the drive partition, it handles both (partition integrity was new to Lion), AND to invoke TRIM command when repairing (which won't happen in recovery partition mode of DU).
    CCC does a smart update. You don't worry about applying updates to those, and in fact wait a few days before applying updates sometimes, or just make sure the clone is up to date so you can boot from and do a restore if needed. A system restore image is only as good as knowing it will work in an emergency should one arise.
    Like to see people break ground on new projects and how to get more out of their systems.  The 5,1 does not have the  limitations or issues that even the 4,1 exhibited let alone even more for the Early '08 3,1s.
    One good SSD alone should / would / make more improvement in performance for low investment than any I have seen.   If you have the Tempo Pro card and 2 x 250GB 840's that is about $600 investment   - throw in another system SSD and use the Tempo for scratch and/or Aperture and insure you have "more than enough" RAM and your workflow should be smooth.  Even wtih that, which I call "best practices" the nMP 6.1 makes Aperture etc even smoother as everything is optimized better and the 1200MB/sec SSD and 4-channel 1866 DDR3  makes  graphics smoother and respond instantly to your touch (sports car handling vs your sedan?)
    After doing a lot of installs, upgrades, Migration Assistant; and then on a 2-4 week basis boot from another volume to run DU Repair.
    OS X alone without the cache used and other things on the boot drive really only takes 40-160GB and makes it easy to create a DU sparse disk image for CCC to update and restore from and that can be kept anywhere. And have a small 200GB emergency maintenance boot volume that you can add to and create on any volume you have handy, shrink and add to that 2TB media drive or  TimeMachine drive volume.
    I would just set aside half an hour weekly or as needed to clone your system. Than clone again before you apply anything, system update or update to applications or new applications.
    With all your personal data and media and projects not on the system you don't need a RAID0 array to hold as much data, no need for the added complexity or using two SSD devices, easier to maintain and restore. There is even a small added overhead to  any  RAID. With an 840 EVO 500GB just above $300 it makes a lot of sense to use those, and almost too big for a system  drive. Fine if the system drive is not just OS and applications but media and stuff don't need to be there. Again, Aperture/Lightroom and other uses, yes and with t he new Mac Pro  people are putting and using it for multiple purposes and uses that they would not have wtih the 2012 5,1 and earlier. But it is so fast it makes sense - and Thunderbolt 2 external storage has added more costs to storage.
    Kind of got long winded, hope it proves helpful. And not confusing but may raise more questions and ideas.

  • What are the best ways (for best performance) in MII to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?

    Hi All,
    Can you please suggest to choose the best ways (for best performance) in MII (12.2 on NW 7.3), to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?
    Thanks

    Hi Surya,
    Best practices for flow of data from ECC --> SAP MII --> Shop floor & Vice verse:
    1. Send ECC data through IDOC's/RFC's as messages to SAP MII message listener and BSL transaction process data and update directly on shop floor database as if you configured in Data services or later send those data by web service to shop floor system (i.e. depends on Shop floor machines).
    From Shop floor:
    shop floor --> SAP MII --> ECC
    1. Use either Web service or fetch data from DB and pass data to BAPI's  for sending to ECC through BLS transaction.

  • Best way for building an application main frame

    I'm about to program a desktop application.
    The main frame will have menus, toolbar, status bar etc.
    There will be a lot of interaction between the menus, toolbar buttons and other custom gui components (such as an editor).
    My question is which is the best way for building it.
    Cramming all the code in one class file is out of the question.
    I thought about making my own custom JFrame and add API functions like for it so different GUI elements can be accessed.
    Each component which will be manipulated will be in its own class file with the constructor accepting a reference to my custom JFrame object which it is contained in.
    Any suggestions on the matter would be of great help since I've never done extensive Swing programming before.
    P.S.
    The application makes extensive use of RMI.
    What considerations should I take into account (except using SwingUtilities.invokeLater()) ?

    Hi,
    I have replied on this subject somewhere else today but what I do is have one simple entry point where I just instanciate a JFrame.
    On that frame I have a main JPanel. On that panel I add new objects like JPanels, tabs etc.
    I keep each new panel in a separate source as it is easier when the application grows, and it will. That also means that several programers can work with the same application without interfearing each other.
    I hope you understand what I mean the the thing is to split up the code into several sources.
    It may not suit everyone but I found this approach to be the best for me.

  • HT4914 I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    Is/was failing or has failed?
    If the old computer still runs one of these methods may be best.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    I don't have personal experience with iTunes Match, but in principle you should be able to download all the tracks currently registered to your iTunes Match account. This isn't quite the same as restoring your previous library exactly as it was. There is always the potential for iTunes match to provide the wrong version of a song and could be content such as movies, podcasts, audiobooks etc. that would have been excluded.

  • Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC

    Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC. I would appreciate any help with this.

    Thanks for the quick help. I do have to leave for work. When I try to
    download the images from the camera they seem to only be in jpeg (I don't
    see any rw2 or raw files to download). If I select the jpeg file it seems
    to only download a jpeg file. I do understand that I do have the option to
    open the jpeg in RAW. In doing this, is all the extra information included
    in the RAW file there or is it lost coming from the camera
    Once again thank you for trying to make me understand how this works.
    Have a great day.

    Best way for capturing HDV
    using easy setup setted to HDV1080 50i (camera is a Sony HDV HC1) captured video look like sh...
    and when exported with compressor is worst!
    some idea?

    Ok fantastic ! you are right (the frustration was talking for me)
    video is shooted in 16:9 HDV 1080 50i
    Captured video looks:
    full of orizontal lines (that look like scan lines) expecially evident on figure edges and on motion subjects
    and
    like it was resized 1440x1080i from a different lower resolution
    video is exported with compressor
    MPEG-2 3.7Mbps 2-pass 16:9
    Description: Fits up to 150 minutes of video with Dolby Digital audio at 192 Kbps or 120 minutes with AIFF audio on a DVD-5
    File Extension: m2v
    Video Encoder
    Format: M2V
    Width and Height: Automatic

    High quality
    Best motion estimation
    Closed GOP Size: 1/2 second, Structure: IBBP
    DVD Studio Pro meta-data enabled
    In these case the first problem is i can't obtain 16:9 format an the lines becomes more more evidents

    camera is Sony HDV HC1e
    hope I wrote all the info
