Can we use Grid Infrastructure 11.2 to protect a single instance database?

Hi all,
I would like to use Oracle Grid Infrastructure to protect a single-instance database.
I found these docs:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clusterware/overview/em-db-failover-128585.pdf (for 10.2)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clusterware/overview/si-db-failover-11g-134623.pdf (for 11.1)
I was unable to find a similar document for GI 11.2 . Do you know if such a document exists?
At the moment I only know that the GI is free if used for an Oracle Product, but I am not shure whether it can be used to protext external applications or single-instance databases
Andrea

Hi,
while this still works (the scripts for failover you find in the demo folder $GI_HOME7/crs/demo/coldfailover), the document does not exists, since with 11gR2 there is a supported solution called RAC ONE Node, hence rendering the manual setup obsolete.
For more information see:
Oracle Clusterware and Application Failover Management (Doc ID 790189.1)

Sebastian

How can I use a subsummary field in a calcultaion field in a database ???

how can I use a subsummary field in a calcultaion field in a database???? I need to use the average I get in my sorted records to make another calculation. Can this be done???
powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Calculation fields work with data that is contained in a single record.
Summary fields use data from the same field(s) in a range of records.
Summary field results can't be used in further calculations.
You may be able to define a summary field to include the average AND the further calculation that you need, but only if you do not want the results to be placed into a particular record or records.
A detailed description of the data you want to use and the result you want to achieve might lead to some ideas on whether it can be done, and how to do it.

How to restore a single instance database to RAC (10g) using RMAN ?

Hi all,
I have a single instance database configured using file system in a unique server, so now I need to restore this database using RMAN to a new RAC environment with two nodes and ASM also.
Does anyone can help with this documentation or a link about any information about this restore using rman ?
I tryied found on metalink but threres isn´t this specific case. Only how to convert single instance to 10g RAC, but without how to use with rman information.
System: Windows 2003

Thanks.

In essense you are really doing nothing more than restoring a backup on a new host. If you want a blow by blow detail of how to accomplish it take at http://www.oracledistilled.com/oracle-database/restore-database-to-another-host-using-rman
In order to write the files to the ASM Disk groups you will use the SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE in your restore script. You will also need to create the ORACLE_BASE/admin/<DBSID> structure on all of node. Once you get the database completely restore you will need to edit the SPFILE to include the proper value for the CLUSTER* parameters and each the node specific parameters. Sorry that it is kind of higher level than what you are probably looking for but the link above and what I put here should get you were want to go.

11g R2 Grid Infrastructure asmca cannot detect 11g R1 ASM instance

I am playing with 11g ASM with XEN (one node on host (or dom0) and another node on vm (or dom1)) and was trying to do a Clusterware + ASM upgrade from 11.0.6 to 11.2.0. After solving some stupid problem, (see [rootupgrade.sh failed on 11g R1 to R2 Upgrade |http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1005424&tstart=0]) so that all services can be started in both nodes, I am trying to upgrade ASM.
I am trying asmca. But it is unable to detect the 11g R1 ASM instance. When started in GUI mode, it just offer to create ASM. When started in silent mode for upgrade, it shows:

Hi Thtsang,
sorry for not coming back to you earlier and thanks for "the helpful".
So, are you saying that after you have removed all the environment variables, you still got the error message "ORA-01034: ORACLE not available"? I thought you got an "ASM upgrade failed", because ASM was down at the time of the upgrade, which you then corrected saying: "In fact, ASM instance was started from Grid Infrastructure home.". Overall, I need to say that I am a bit confused to be honest.
The alert log entry sounds promising, although, one would need to see more context. For: "But when I use crsctl / srvctl to start ASM, it is still running in 11g R1 Oracle Home." So, something went wrong with the update. For: "BTW, if asmca does not work for me, can I upgrade manually?" - ASMCA is the tool that will perform an ASM upgrade. You can call it interactively, but you will have to use it.
Support note ID 950200.1 - "ASM 11gR2: How To Upgrade An ASM Instance To Release 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0)?" describes an ASM upgrade to 11.2. Maybe this note can help you and if it is only to analyze what stage your cluster is in right now. It sounds like, this would be first thing that we need to find out.
Good luck. Thanks,
Markus

Can I use a select and update statement in a single jsp file?

I want to update the BUY table everytime I would add a SELL transaction.....I want to minus the stocks that I sold to those that Ive bought before.....
note: I used a seperate table in BUY and SELL transaction
After I Have added a transaction, I want to update the buy table. This is my problem, can I used both SELECT and UPDATE statement at the same time in a single jsp file for example like this:
select * from test, test1;
update test
set total_shares=total_shares-Stotal;
where stock_code=Scode AND name_broker=Sbroker;
Can i have both of these statements in the same jsp file in oder to update the buy table?
Or can anyone suggest how can process that update?THANKS!
--------------------

Can i have both of these statements in the same jsp file in oder to update the buy table?Yes. But wouldn't it have been easier just to try it?

Can I use iptables with OEL4.7 running IAS 10.2 and database 11g ?

We have our application on a RED-HAT OEL(oracle enterprise linux) server, and want to know if its possible to filter mac address to access our application by the iptables mode.
I know that I needed to turn-off firewals when I installed the oracle software,
but, is it possible to have iptables running on this machine?
if you need any detail that I can give you no problem..
cheers.

Of course, you can definitely use iptables.. but you need to identify all the ports for incoming and outgoing traffic before enabling iptables and make allow rules in IP tables for that traffic.

Can I use oracle client 10g express to work on oracle 11g database

I have installed an oracle DB 11g, I also installed oracle client 10g express edition to create users and tables. I noticed that the users I created can't connect to db with error message "Error java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" and tables I created can't access from my program. I get error message "Error java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist". I start to suspect that client 10g express edition can't use with oracle 11g. Please help.
any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,

Can I use grid layout in JSF visual page designer ?

Hello dears...
I am using Jdeveloper 11 g and 10 g .
When I tried to use JSF visual editor (from the component palette), and when I drag any control to the page I found that the control go to the top left of the page
and I even can not move the control to another place in the page by the mouse.
the JSF visual designer seems to use flow layout for the page . (the same as using flow layout in the swing applications).
The question is Can I change the page layout to be grid layout instead of flow layout ?????? (to be able to move any control to anywhere in the page.)
Note that in netbeans 6.1 , when u design JSF page , you have 2 options for the page layout, grid layout and flow layout and u can choose as u like.
Is this feature found in jdeveloper 11 ?????
if not , Can anybody tell me any workaround to design JSF pages without using flow layout ????
Thanks in advance
Samy
Edited by: user10653280 on Nov 29, 2008 1:30 PM

We don't provide absolute positioning for JSF application - this is a bad practice since it fills your JSF page with CSS code and create applications that are not portable between different screen/monitor resolutions - so we use flow layout instead and provide a much richer set of layout components.

Can I use tape drive for backup with win 2012 OS & Sybase database?

I have installed enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 with OS windows 2012 and database sybase ASE(15.7.050). I am facing problem while taking database backup on tape drive. I want to know how to initialize tape drive in case of sybase DB and is it possible to take back-up on same. I failed to schedule backup from DB13 so now I am doing that activity by command line. So please help me to solve these issues.
Here I am attaching some files related with backup commands that presently I am using. My SAP system ID is DQS.

That output actually looks pretty good, it was dumping to the tape drive, it just ran out of tape because the drive apparently doesn't automatically detect when it is reaching the end.
For the next step, try adding a CAPACITY parameter to your dump command as discussed at these places in the documentation.
Specifying tape capacity for dump commands
Set the Maximum Capacity for a Tape Drive
Your output above shows it was able to dump 87565594 KB before it ran out of tape,
so lets be a little conservative and try
dump database DQS to TAPE1 with capacity = 87000000, init
go
When the dump reaches that point, ASE should prompt you to pop in another new tape
and then issue the sp_volchanged procedure from a second session (it will tell you what parameters to use for sp_volchanged).
Note: once we get the dump working successfully, we can then create a logical dump device that would store the capacity value, and create a full dump configuration so you gain all the new functionality like dump history, etc.

Can I use DB13C for central backup scheduling of MaxDB and Oracle databases

Hello,
we have installed Solution Manager 7.0 on Windows with MaxDB. We want to use DB13C to schedule and Monitor our database backups. We have 8 systems with Oracle Database and 7 systems with MaxDB database, 1 DB2 and 1 MS-SQL Server . Due to QAS issues we can´t migrate to one database system. Is there a possibility to handle all database systems from our Solution Manager ?
Thank you
Heiko

You can use DBACOCKPIT for that purpose. Import the systems from the SLD.

If I have not other option that to use the client Oracle 9.2.0.4 or higher, can I set something in the Oracle 11 instance configuration in order to accept the "ALTER SESSION" sent by the application?
By the way, there are any "ALTER SESSION" option that was deprecated in Oracle 11 vs Oracle 8?Oracle 8 could mean a bunch of different versions. If you mean, for example, Oracle 8.0.5, there were eleven major releases between Oracle 8.0.5 and Oracle 11.2. You could look through the New Features guides of each major release to look for parameters that were deprecated. But it probably makes more sense to tell us the actual SQL statement that is failing so we can let you know what options you have.

How can i use cmr between two EJB which are belong to different database?

Perhaps, on the EJB's Entity tabs, in the Deployment settings dialog, you could make sure each bean references a different DB (Change the JNDI name, under Database settings).
However, I don't know this for sure - you may have to use bean-managed persistence.

Can I stream to two totally different sources from a single instance of FMLE?

I am a DJ and stream live video to a site called Mixtube.dj, and recently I have joined another site called mxiify.com that also allows for video streaming, when I do my shows I usually simocast them on a few different sites. WIth audio only it isn't a big deal, I use a program called simplecast that allows for multiple streams at once, and until recently I only had the one site where I needed video, but now that I have two places that allow video, I was hoping I could take advantage of the video features on both sites. From what I have read it seems possible, however I cannot find instructions on how to do it exactly how to do this. I've seen hints where it seems like I need to add a % inbetween the URLs and streams, but I still haven't found concrete instructions. Has anyone done this, or remember where they saw the instructions for setting it up?

i have the same type of issue. I have an iphone and my wife an ipod touch. we use seperate accounts however we would both like to stream to the same pc.
The only way i've found to do it so far is to log out of your cloud in the control panel and log in to hers. This will disable your photo streaming until you log back out of hers and into yours. you have to remember to check the photo streaming box.
I wish someone would tell us how to leave 2 clouds open at the same time. that would save a lt of time logging in and out.
Hope this helps somewhat. it's not convenient but at least you'll be able to get your pictures onto your pc. you will not however be able to stream from one device to the next. you will have to transfer the photos into the upload file to get them from say your iphone onto her ipad
