Change DB name/ instance name during an UPGRADE ?

Is it possible to change the database name and the instance name during an UPGRADE (from 9i to 10g for instance) ? If is possible, how ?
Thanks,
D.

Two Options:
1. Change the name in 9i, then Upgrade to 10g
2. Upgrade to 10g, then change the name in 10g
There is no automatic way to do it during upgrade.

  • Can we change the Oracle instance name after confoguration.

    Hi,
    Has anyone tried changing the Instance name in Oracle after all the EPM components are configured.
    I mean, after the system is up and running. Do I have to re-configure everything with new instance name?
    If yes, what happens to data that was already there in the schemas?
    Thanks in advance,
    PM

    Try the following
    "On the machine hosting Shared Services, launch EPM System Configurator with the enableRegTask option: Make EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/config/version_number the current directory and then launch configtool.bat|.sh -enableRegTask."
    Cheers

  • Flash CC HTML5 Get instance names on click?

    I make escape games and often have lots of items in a scene each with flash instance names that on mouse over or mouse click make some event happen or some text is displayed.
    I'm using Flash CC and HTML 5 output and cannot get it to output the instance names in the log, is this not possible? Can anyone suggest an alternative method of responding to lots of movieclips/buttons etc
    Here's my test code:-
    //stage.enableMouseOver(24);
    var clicked = "";
    var clickedname = "";
    //NEED TO FIND OUT MOVIECLIP INSTANCE NAME??
    var key1 = exportRoot.key1
    //key1.name = "key1"
    //console.log(key1ref.name)
    stage.on("click", function (evt) {
        //clickedname = stage.getObjectUnderPoint(evt.stageX, evt.stageY)
        //clicked = evt.target
        clicked = evt.target
        console.log(clicked)
        //output result to log
        /*if (clicked == "key1"){
            console.log("clicked key 1")

    Thanks Ned, I really appreciate the help as I've been stuck on this seemingly obvious thing for a few days now and can't progress until I can figure it out...
    Basically using currentTarget it outputs this:-
    a {id: 24, _matrix: a, _rectangle: a, children: Array[1], canvas: canvas#canvas…}
    so comparing it to a name/instance name is not going to work ;-)
    using evt.target gets me this:-
    lib.key1 {id: 21, _matrix: a, _rectangle: a, image: img, x: -40…}
    so again useless, a reference to the key1.png in the library but not to the named instances placed on the stage!!
    Am I assigning the instance name correctly??
    var key1 = exportRoot.key1
    key1.name = "key1"
    Any help from anyone appreciated!!

  • Changing Instance Name - spfile

    Hello guys,
    i've got a little question about changing instance names and values.
    For example i got the following spfile (only example values):
    *.db_name=DB1
    DA1.shared_pool=9000000
    DA2.shared_pool=8000000
    and so on...
    So the db_name DB1 is valid for all instance identifiers.
    But how can i specify manually with which instance name the oracle db server should start? (for exampe DA1 and DA2)
    The standard spfile name can also not be used, because of oracle searches normally for $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileSID.ora file?
    And which value is preferred, if i have a value for all instances (*.shared_pool) and a value for the specfied instance (DA1.shared_pool)... which parameter is valid if both are specified in the spfile?
    Thanks and regards
    Stefan

    hi,
    Every Instance having there own spfile<sid>.ora.hmm that sounds very strange to me. Because of the option with the identifier in front of the parameter (*= for every instance, DA1 = only for instance with name DA1).
    I read about the advantage only having one spfile for more instances (for exampe RAC).
    So maybe there is a possibility, to start an instance with the specified name (in my example DA1 or DA2).
    I don't want to change the DB name... only the instance name so that i can easily start the same db with different parameters (=different instance name)..
    Thanks

  • How to change DB & Instance name on RAC

    Hi Experts,
    Can anyone tell me how can i change my database name along with the two instances running on the RAC server?
    Any ideas......
    Regards,
    MB

    You can rename database by creating control file as well , like we use to do in single instance database.
    1) Shutdown node 2
    2) Run following command on node 1
    alter database backup control file to trace ;
    3) shutdown database on node 1
    4) copy trace file created in step 2 to file crctl.sql (say) . Edit crctl.sql and set database name what u want to set.
    5) edit init<sid>.ora and change database name
    6) startup nomount and run crctl.sql
    7) Startup database in both node
    8) Change tnsnames.ora and listener.ora ( if needed)
    9) config srvctl
    srvctl remove database -d <old_database_name>
    srvctl add database -d <new_db_name> -o $ORACLE_HOME
    srvctl add instance -d <new_db_name> -i <instance name on node 1> -n Node1
    srvctl add instance -d <new_db_name> -i <instance name on node 2> -n Node2

  • Change Instance Name

    Is it possible to change the name of an Middle-Tier Instance and/or the Infrastructure Instance after installation of 10gAS 904?
    Bob

    You have changed hostname(servername) you can follow below:
    you have to rename SQL server hostname:
    sp_dropserver <old_name\instancename>;
    GO
    sp_addserver <new_name\instancename>, local;
    GO
    Restart the SQL Server services.
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2525/steps-to-change-the-server-name-for-a-sql-server-machine/
    You cant change installed instance name of SQL, so SQL instance will be CON.
    Understand you may have CON as database but your instance name is also CON. Thats why you are seeing MSSQL$CON. 
    CON was select as instance name when performing SQL installation. 
    There is no command to rename an instance. You will need to install a new instance with name REX side by side, move the databases by whichever method you'd like (backup & restore would be fine) and drop the previous instance or have 2 instance running.

    Hi all,
    I would like to know how I can change the instance name of a existing application server 10.1.3.2.

    Take a backup of the complete ORACLE_HOME, reinstall OracleAS 10.1.3.2 and redeploy your applications will work definetely. Saves you wasting your time on something which might be unsupported.

  • Lion upgrade changed my User Directory (Name Name 1) Help!

    Can any one offer a fix.
    I tried to install Te Lion Upgrade and it stalled at the last step.
    After waiting 4 hours I did a restart and Lion asked me if I want to restore from an archive.
    I said yes, but my user group was renamed from Jimmy to Jimmy 1
    Most things work and it seems everything is there, bit some apps are not working because they are looking for the Jimmy folder (path).
    Is there anyway I can change this back to the way it was (Jimmy)?
    Can I rename the folder in terminal or make a new folder - and what will happen with my username (which wasn't changed) and everything in the keychain? No to mention permissions.
    Can anyone point me into the right direction or have step on how to solve this?
    Much appreciated.

    I have a similar problem - I need to change my account (short) name so that I can backup both my old computer and new computer on timecapsue independently.  However, the link you provided is only for 10.6 and earlier, not for Lion.  Are the instructions for Lion similar?  For one, I have no directory utility on Lion.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Changing database instance name

    Hi,
    I have oracle database 10g installed on linux.
    and now we are aking the databas eto production leve to the www
    do we need to change the oracle database name. is there any security reason for it, so outside doesn't need to know from the service name the location of the database. if we have to, then how to do it without affecting any existing processes.
    or any other ways to secure the database identity.
    any ways to give a alias to the ip address.
    any suggestions please.
    Thanks,
    Philip.

    The Oracle documentation contains a lot of security policies. In your case, you should be very cautious about firewall configuration and especially:
    If Oracle Database is behind a firewall, then do not, under any circumstances, poke a hole through the firewall. For example, do not leave open port 1521 for Oracle Listener to make a connection to the Internet or vice versa.
    Restrict the privileges of the listener, so that it cannot read or write files in the database or the Oracle server address space.
    Harden the host operating system by disabling all unnecessary operating system services. Both UNIX and Windows platforms provide a variety of operating system services, most of which are not necessary for most deployments. Such services include FTP, TFTP, TELNET, and so forth. Be sure to close both the UDP and TCP ports for each service that is being disabled. Disabling one type of port and not the other does not make the operating system more secure.

  • Changing instance names

    Hello everyone i have a bit of a problem here
    I am writing a program that will allow a user to create and design their own computer network. Now the problem i am having is that i want them to be able to add networking components(routers, switches, etc) to a JPanel. These are just labels at the moment with setIcon set to whatever is needed. Anyway i can get them to add say anumber of router icos but i want for every icon that is added a new instance to be created for that icon to differentiate it from the others. I know it sounds a bit mad and maybe i am going about this the whole wrong way any input would be greatly appreciated
    ronmon

    sorry about the vagueness of my post. What i want to do is create a component
    JLabel label1 = new JLabel();
    add this to a JPanel
    addcomponent(label1,30,30,50,50);
    this i can do but the user is going to be able to add new labels to the JPanel by pressing a button. But i need each label to be referred to by a different instance name
    i.e.
    1st label would be named label1
    2nd label would be named label2
    3rd label would be named label3
    the important thing is that this is all done at runtime. Is there anyway to do this if you have some code that would be brilliant
    Thanks again for your help

  • Button using changing Instance Names

    I have multiple button using the same button from my library.
    I have given the all instance name and if I put that instance name
    in from of my addEventListener the button works fine. However, I
    have a lot of buttons on the stage so I want to be able to write
    some thing the will get the instance name on roll over and place
    that in front of the event listener. I am trying to avoid writing a
    line of code for each button. Can this be done?

    you should start here:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/
    go to packages->statements, keywords, & directives
    you can't just ask what a for loop is. it shows you haven't
    done any investigation at all as that is a very basic programming
    construct. you need to learn some basics before you ask people what
    to do. if you have trouble with a particular topic or getting
    something to work, that's what this is for, but it's not to teach
    you the language. there's way too much to learn and too many people
    asking. get a good actionscript book and it will take you through
    the basics.
    i recommend:
    O'reilly Essential Actionscript 3
    good luck

  • Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter - With any driver: "The device instance name is invalid"

    Hello there,
    I was trying to install various "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" drivers, with versions ranging from 2007 to 2010, both from the manufacturer and specifically for this computer (a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile) and others from here:
    http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-download.php?chipset=22&system=3
    All of them are for Windows Vista 32bit.
    The computer had previous drivers installed and working, but also had a network problem. In the process of figuring out what was causing it, I tried to install newer drivers to see if that was the problem. It turns out the network problem was due to a different
    thing that is now fixed (some dependencies of the WLAN Configuration service were turned off), but I'm still stuck installing the new drivers.
    TL;DR:
    However, every time I install new drivers, after install, Windows says that
    "The device instance name is invalid", regardless of what drivers I install. I even tried to install drivers for different hardware in that slot just to see what it told me and IT STILL gave me the same error. I also tried to uninstall the
    current driver, checking the box to delete the driver's software, running CCleaner and then deleting
    "athr.sys" from the Windows/Drivers folder and
    "oem8.inf" from Windows/Inf as those files were referenced in the driver's properties. The install still gives me the same error.
    The fact that it gives me this error with any driver leads me to believe it's Windows' fault and not the driver's.
    Note: I am translating from the original in Portuguese. "The device instance name is invalid" is the closest/correct translation and seems about right with the info I find online regarding the english version of Vista and how it refers to devices.
    This (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.development.device.drivers/yFa_XnlcLJQ) and this (http://finderr.net/windows/pt-PT/O-nome-da-inst%C3%A2ncia-do-dispositivo-%C3%A9-inv%C3%A1lido-/2082573452) also seems to confirm that, though it
    doesn't help me. It may be that the text is actually different in english Vista but I also searched for driver instead of device or stuff like "The device instance name appears to be invalid" and can't find anything either.
    I also did SFC /SCANNOW a while ago and it found no errors.  I then repeated it again after this problem and this time, SFC found errors BUT it couldn't repair all of them. Here is the CBS log:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/bayum2rsezxpmre/CBS.log
    Thank you for the help!
    EDIT: The Notebook model is a Fujitsu-Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile V5535 and their support drivers can be found here (after specifying the OS and model):
    http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/ShowFiles.asp
    EDIT2:
    The last SFC /scannow scan repaired everything left to repair. The system restore option can't be used because the earliest one still has the (suposedly faulty) drivers installed.
    This computer has a Win Vista serial number, but no CD and the second partition doesn't have any kind of backup. The second partition is empty though. So, as a last resort, if I really don't have a choice, I'll try to do an upgrade install to see if that fixes
    it and if that still doesn't fix it I'll have to move everything in the users folder to the second partition and format the first which is a bummer :/
    EDIT: Here is the setup.api.log that was inside C:\Windows\Inf and details the instalation process of all the drivers:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyxs1e4r7rxofch/setupapi.dev.log
    I'm still trying to read into that setup.api.log file.

    So, can I assume that the only way to fix this error is to download an iso of Windows Vista, unninstall my service packs, upgrade install Vista, run Vistalizator to change the language to Portuguese and then install Service Pack 1 & 2?
    EDIT: Alright, so I formatted the thing since the driver bug wouldn't give me a break. The details on that can be found searching for the same thread title either on tomshardware or vistaforums if anyone happens to find this looking for the same error.
    I have a real knack for bumping heads with errors that nobody else gets that somehow turn into unfixable bugs. At least if someone else searches for this problem they'll know what to do.
