Building Oracle VM Template for Exalogic

We're upgrading our Exalogic system to support virtualization and we'd like to create Exalogic-specific templates using OVAB. The problem is that we can't find an Exalogic-specific system base image that we can use for the template. When I try using the base image provided by OVAB, it complains about base image and tells me to install the "Oracle VM template configure tool RPM" I haven't been able to find that either.
Can anyone tell me where I can get either an Exalogic-specific base image or the "Oracle VM template configure tool RPM"? Thanks very much.

Login to edelivery
Select a Product Pack - Oracle Fusion Middleware
Platform - Linux x86-64
Then, click Go
Click on Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software 11g Media Pack

Oracle VM and Oracle VM Template for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c M

Hello!
After installation of *"Oracle VM 3.1.1 Media Pack v1 for x86_64 (64 bit)"* to bare hardware
can I install Oracle VM Template for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Media Pack ?
Is it the wrong plan ?
What to do if I need to set VLAN №1 ? (according note of installer I have to choose number between 2 and 4094 )
Thanks and regards,

Yes, you can install Oracle VM Manager, create a server pool with the one parent Oracle VM server in it, and then deploy the Oracle VM template in the pool. Once EM VM is up and running, you can register the same Oracle VM Manager with EM, to manage the pool.
In general, it is not recommended that you use the OVM server backend directly. But for bootstrapping the EM environment, you can also try the following:
Download the OVM Template on the Oracle VM server. From the OVM server terminal itself you can do "xm create" to spin a new virtual machine using the Oracle VM teamplate. Once the VM comes up, VNC into the VM and configure the EM OMS and agent.

Oracle VM Templates for OEBS Release 12.1.3 Vision Media - missing files

I downloaded all 11 parts ( 8 - DB and 3 - APPS) for this media pack template - Oracle VM Templates for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 Vision Media.
Per the media pack README I unzipped each file and and then concatenated (and gunzipped) them into directories for DB and APPS respectively. According to the media pack README there should be README.txt and System.img files in each directory in addition to the template .img file and vm.cfg files. Neither directory contains README.txt or System.img files, and only the APPS directory contains a vm.cfg file. Both directories do include a template .img file.
# ls -l OVM_OL5U6_X86_64_EBIZ12.1.3_DB_VIS_PVM
total 48004528
-rw-------. 1 root root 49156626432 Apr 16 17:17 ebs1211db.img

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 448 Feb 24 2011 vm.cfg
When I put each directory into a tar ball and attempt to import either template, they fail with an error message indicating the System.img does not exist...because it doesn't.
Are the README.txt and System.img files missing from the template,? Do i need to download the template again?
Any insight and assistance is appreciated.
Thank you,
Phil

I answered my question and/or discovered the issue. To get the Oracle VM Template (8 parts) in question to the server where there was space to extract them, I had to copy them between servers. The first time I copied them I did it via an NFS mount and apparently some corruption resulted causing the template to not import successfully. I deleted the template parts from the destination server and Hi Phil, Can you please explain how you managed to import the files once after copying to the destination? ie, until now I was using FTP to download the templates(which are in .tgz format)
copied them a second time via scp. This time the files were intact and the template imported successfully to the OVM Manager. Issue resolved.I am kind of a beginner with Oracle VM environment and completely lost with making it easier to import the templates. I mean, following the readme.txt I unzipped the files, which created the four files for application and database tiers and then I used to tar repack them (following a suggestion received from another thread) and then imported them through a FTP session
The entire activity took almost two and half days, when an alternative method as what you mentioned looks quite feasible to implement, especially while dealing with large templates like the ones for E-Business suite. Hence please answer the following:
What do you mean by secure copying to target file. Does it mean you copied the template elements to a particular folder with VM Server?
Once after copying the files using secure copy, how did you import them?
What is your VM environment? A lot of things have changed with VM Server 3.1.1, the OVS/seed_pool structure is not any further available and the template import has been restricted to http, https or FTP sessions.
Please supply the details, if possible

Oracle VM Template for Siebel 8

Oracle now provides an Oracle VM template for Siebel 8. Once you have downloaded the template, they say it only takes about 30 minutes to setup your entire Siebel installation!
The template includes the industry version of Siebel 8 and the Oracle 11g database configured with the Siebel schema. More info is available here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/vm/templates.html

Building out a template for email notifications

I am working on an email template for emails Managers will receive when someone submits an Urgent Change Control. I am struggling with the some of the fields in the Change Request getting them into the email to the Managers. I want to include as much information
about the Change Request as I can so they can Approve or Reject from the email by replying to the Service Manager mailbox, and do not have to use the Console to see the details.
I am in the Templates node under Administration --> Notifications
Below is just a sample of my template so you can see what I am doing.
Message body
Change request $Context/Path[Relationship='CustomSystem_WorkItem_Activity_Library!System.WorkItemContainsActivity' SeedRole='Target' TypeConstraint='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Id$: $Context/Path[Relationship='CustomSystem_WorkItem_Activity_Library!System.WorkItemContainsActivity'
SeedRole='Target' TypeConstraint='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Title$, created by $Context/Path[Relationship='WorkItem!System.WorkItemCreatedByUser' TypeConstraint='System!System.User']$?$DisplayName$?, requires your
approval.
You can complete this request by replying to this message with [Approved] or [Rejected] in your message body (note the brackets).
Alternatively, you can complete the request by looking up Review Activity $Context/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Id$ under the Activity Management views in the Service Manager Console and manually approving or rejecting it there.
Title:
$Context/Path[Relationship='CustomSystem_WorkItem_Activity_Library!System.WorkItemContainsActivity' SeedRole='Target' TypeConstraint='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Title$
Change Request Description:
$Context/Path[Relationship='CustomSystem_WorkItem_Activity_Library!System.WorkItemContainsActivity' SeedRole='Target' TypeConstraint='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Description$
Start and End dates:
$Context/Path[Relationship='CustomSystem_WorkItem_Activity_Library!System.WorkItemContainsActivity' SeedRole='Target' TypeConstraint='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/ScheduledStartDate$
$Context/Path[Relationship='CustomSystem_WorkItem_Activity_Library!System.WorkItemContainsActivity' SeedRole='Target' TypeConstraint='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/ScheduledEndDate$
Now I can include things like the Title of the Change Request, The Description and Start and End Dates but I would like to add other fields such as:
On the Planning tab
Implementation Plan
Risk Assessment Plan
Test Plan
Back out Plan
When I click on Insert in the template builder, I get a list of items I can select. I have been experimenting with all different selections and nothing seems to work. Is it even possible to capture these fields in a Change Request into an email. I have done
things like copy the text from fields that do work like "Title" and then replaced /Title$ with something like /Backoutplan$ but that doesn't work.

Yes, it's possible. I have no idea if it can be done with the out of the box notification template wizard, though..
You're interested in the change request class, not the work item class. The CR class inherits from the WI class, but the properties you want are defined on the CR class. Therefore, the relationship paths you're using need to be restricted to the CR class
via the Type Constraint. To get the CR's implementation plan property, for example:
$Context/Path[Relationship='CustomSystem_WorkItem_Activity_Library!System.WorkItemContainsActivity' SeedRole='Target' TypeConstraint='CRLib!System.WorkItem.ChangeRequest']/Property[Type='CRLib!System.WorkItem.ChangeRequest']/ImplementationPlan$
The trick is making sure the CRLib reference exists in your management pack. CRLib is just an alias for the System.WorkItem.ChangeRequest.Library management pack reference.
So, when you update your notification template, export the management pack that it's defined in and make sure you add that reference. Re-import the MP and test the notification.

Oracle VM templates for Database 12c & OVM2

Oracle has recently released new VM templates for 12c database:
https://blogs.oracle.com/wim/entry/oracle_vm_templates_for_database
According the documentation it can be deployed either on Oracle VM version 2 or 3.
I've followed instructions to create a single instance VM (64bit) without a problem.
However I'm having difficulties during the first boot:
PowerOn Failed : Result - failed:<Exception: return=>failed:<Exception: ['xm', 'create', '/OVS/running_pool/1817_CIT-DEV-DB/vm.cfg']=>Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
We are using Oracle VM version 2. Was anyone successful with installation on VM2 ?
Jan

I see Oracle's documentation is stating the VM is built on top of Oracle Linux 5 U9 - but in fact the 12c VM is actually using 6 U3
In that case the issue looks similar to this Linux system administrator and Oracle DBA guide: How to startup OL6 as PVM under Oracle VM 2.X
So question for Oracle: Is installation on OVM2 supported as per documentation (and there is a bug in the VM template or in our VM2 installation) or it's a bug in the documentation and only OVM3 is supported ?

OEL 5.5 running Oracle VM Templates

Dear experts
I have installed a server with OEL 5.5 in order to run the Oracle VM Templates for Siebel.
I'm able to run the oracle vm's using xm create vm.cfg
However I cannot ping the guest machine just started.
I'm able to login with VNC using the host ip.
Any clues?

Is the firewall enabled for the guest OS? I'd expect it to be enabled by default and thus deny an ICMP packets.

Certified Monitoring Template for Database Instances?

I am setting up monitoring templates on OEM 12.1.0.3 for hosts, agents, database instances etc by copying and modifying the Oracle Certified Templates using "Create Like" then apply to my targets. There are certified templates for hosts and agents but I don't see one for Database Instances. Is there a certified templates for Database Instances (such as metrics for tablespace used %, share pool caching %, alert etc)?

There is no Oracle Certified template for database instances. You may want to use default (out-of-box) metric collection settings for database instances as a basis for your template.
Here is one way:
- Navigate to Enterprise > Monitoring > Monitoring Templates.
- Click Create and select a database target, which still has out-of-box (default) metric settings.
- Continue to create the template.

Oracle Sesame Adaptater - missing template for creation of a new SAIL repo.

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy the Sesame Adaptater on my TOMCAT server.
At the point 8.9 of the doc ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18283_01/appdev.112/e11828/sem_sesame.htm#BABFFEFA) I'm suppose to type in the sesame console the following comand :
"create oracle."
I got this error :
ERROR : No template called Oracle found in C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Aduna\OpenRDF Sesame Console\templates
By reading the Sesame doc and according to this page (http://www.openrdf.org/doc/sesame2/users/ch07.html) I suppose that I have to add in the "C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Aduna\OpenRDF Sesame Console\templates" directory a file based on this template :

Do anyone have the correct template ?
I didn't find any other thread about this problem, so I supose it's an easy issue to solve, but the Semantic Technologies are totally new for me.
Arthur

I finally find the answer to my question. The template used in the tutorial is present in the sesame adapter.
I just had to extract the files into the "sdordfsesame.jar", the template is locate in "sdordfsesame.jar/org/openrdf/console/oracle.ttl".
After adding the "oracle.ttl" to the correct directory, it's work fine.

Oracle SQL template to create re-usable DDL/DML Scripts for Oracle database

Hi,
I have a requirement to put together a Oracle SQL template to create re-usable DDL/DML Scripts for Oracle databases.
Only the Oracle DBA will be running the scripts so permissions is not an issue.
The workflow for any DDL is as follows:-
1) New Table
a. Check if the table exists from the system/admin views.
b. If table exists then give message "Table Exists"
c. If table does not exist then execute DDL code
2) Add Column
a. Check if Column exists for a given table from system/admin views
b. If column exists in the specified table,
b1. backup table.
b2. alter table to make changes to the column
b3. verify data or execute dml script convert from backup to the new change.
c. If Column does not exist
c1. backup table
c2. alter table to add column
c3. execute dml to populate column with default value.
The DML scripts are for populating base tables with data required for business operations.
3) Add new row
a. check if row exists by comparing old values of each column with new values to be added for the new record.
b. If exists, give message row exists
c. If not exists, add new record.
4) Update existing record (We have createtime columns in these tables so changes can be tracked)
a. check if row exists using primary key.
b. If exists,
b1. deactivate the record using the "active" column of the table
b2. Add new record with the changes required.
c. If does not exist, add new record with the changes required.
Could you please help with some ideas which can get this done accurately?
I have tried several ways, but I am not able to put together something that fulfills all requirements.
Thank you,

First let me address your question. (This is the easy part.)
1. The existence of tables can be found in DBA_TABLES. Query it and and then use conditional logic and execute immediate to process the DDL.
2. The existence of table columns is found in DBA_TAB_COLUMNS. Query it and then conditionally execute your DDL. You can copy the "before picture" of the table using that same dba view, or even better, use DBMS_METADATA.
As for your DML scripts, they should be restartable, reversible, and re-run-able. They should "fail gracefully" on error, be written in such a way that they can run twice in a row without creating duplicate changes.
3. Adding appropriate constraints can prevent invalid duplicate rows. Also, you can usually add to the where clause so that the DML does only what it needs to do without even relying on the constraint (but the constraint is there as a safeguard). Look up the MERGE statement to learn how to do an UPSERT (update/insert), which will let you conditionally "deactivate" (update) or insert a record. Anything that you cannot do in SQL can be done with simple procedural code.
Now, to the heart of the matter...
You think I did not understand your requirements?
Please be respectful of people's comments. Many of us are professionals with decades of experience working with databases and Oracle technology. We volunteer our valuable time and knowledge here for free. It is extremely common for someone to post what they feel is an easy SQL or PL/SQL question without stating the real goal--the business objective. Experienced people will spot that the "wrong question" has been asked, and then cut to the chase.
We have some good questions for you. Not questions we need answers from, but questions you need to ask yourself and your team. You need to reexamine this post and deduce what those questions are. But I'll give you some hints: Why do you need to do what you are asking? And will this construct you are asking for even solve the root cause of your problems?
Then ponder the following quotations about asking the right question:
Good questions outrank easy answers.
— Paul Samuelson
The only interesting answers are those which destroy the questions.
— Susan Sontag
The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers as ask the right questions.
— Claude Levi-Strauss
You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.
— Mahfouz Naguib
One hears only those questions for which one is able to find answers.
— Friedrich Nietzsche
Be patient towards all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves.
— Rainer Maria Rilke
What people think of as the moment of discovery is really the discovery of the question.

Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.
— Voltaire
The ability to ask the right question is more than half the battle of finding the answer.

Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there and equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template?

Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there an equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template? This has proved unsatisfactory to me so far. Lines are left in etc.

There are two basic menus for fonts - one from the main menu bar and one from the toolbar. You can also bring up the font manage dialog.
I don't recommend trying to hard to force an otherwise foreign font, as it inevitably needs to be usable/supported on iOS as well, and that can get tricky w/3rd party fonts, as an example, even with the expanded font support in the latest iBA.
If you need to discuss fonts more, I suggest starting a new thread....preferably with a slightly more brief title, thanks.
