Cloning a 10g Database using DBCA and templates

I have created a template from a 10G database (structure and data) and want to use this template and data to create a clone of the database on another server using the DBCA on the standby server. Where does DBCA ask for the names of the templates of my clone database? It seems to only have templates for its pre-existing databases (wharehouse, general purpose, custom, etc.).

Thanks. I figured this out on my own and seems work fine. My problem is I am connected over a Window network domain and the transfer speed is very slow. I finally had to kill the job and manually move the critical control, init, redo, and data files that DBCA missed. I also had to use the DBCA again to create the EM DBconsole server as well as copy over the, initPROD.ora file as well as the tnsnames.ora, listener.ora and sqlnet.ora files over to the $ORACLE_HOME/Network/Admin directory. SPFILE was create using create spfile command, I had to perform a recover database once in the initial startup of the database clone.
If I do this operation again I will move datafiles and DBCA template components from the server to a USB SCCI Drive connected locally to the source server then connect this remote disk to the target server rather than transfer files over a domain network.
Any other tips that anyone can over on cloning a database using DBCA in 10G please let me know any things to avoid, traps, bugs, best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Can use ASM only when creating database using dbca

I have a problem. When i create a database using DBCA, i can only use ASM as the file sytem. why ?
i just installed the 10gR2 with cluster and donno why i cannot use ocfs.
Thanks.

What were your reasons with going with OCFS rather than ASM?
Thanks.

BLOB insertion in Oracle 10g database using ojdbc14 (10g drivers)

Hello!
I have a situation where I am trying to insert a blob data into oracle 10g database using oracle thin
10g drivers, ojdbc14.jar in weblogic 8.1 sp2. I have the following error happening very intermittently.
java.sql.SQLException: OALL8 is in an inconsistent state.
And this is leading to the "No more data to read from socket" error when I am trying to
insert the BLOB into the database. I have gone through the bug list of SP2 and have realised there is the
following issue fixed in SP3.
CR124933
An Oracle BLOB sometimes used a pooled connection after the connection pool determined that
the connection was available for reassignment.
Code was added to ensure the BLOB is completely processed before closing the pool connection or
ending the transaction.
I believe the problem arises when we try to insert BLOB into database using a refreshed connection
from the pool.We have upgraded weblogic 8.1 from SP2 to SP4 service pack inorder to come over the above problem.
But this still continues to behave intermittently.
We put ojdbc14.jar in our classpath and Weblogic startup classpath looks like the following :-
WLS_CLASSPATH=${WLS_DOMAIN_DIR}/appslib/server.jar:$PRE_CLASSPATH:${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/lib/weblogic.jar:
${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/lib/ojdbc14.jar:${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/lib:${WLS_JAVA_HOME}/lib/tools.jar:
${WLS_JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/rt.jar:${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/lib/webservices.jar:${WLS_CONFIG_DIR}:
${WLS_CUSTLIB_DIR}:${WLS_BIN_DIR}:$POST_CLASSPATH
export WLS_CLASSPATH
CLASSPATH=${WLS_CLASSPATH}:${APP_CLASSPATH}
export CLASSPATH
After upgrade to SP4, there are new ojdbc14_g.jar(debug jar) and orai18n.jar jars in the ${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/ext/jdbc/oracle/10g directory added.
Please let me know if I need to update classpath with the new 10g jars in the ext/lib directory or any suggestions
to insert BLOB using the ojdbc14 10G drivers, Weblogic 8.1 environment would be appreciated.
Following is the stack trace of the errors that I recieve:
<Oct 6, 2005 1:29:36 PM EDT> <Error> <JDBC> <BEA-001112> <Test "select count(*) from DUAL" set up for pool

How to use dbca and netca

hi
everyone , I have just installed the software of oracle on RHEL4U4,but when I click ok .and wanted to configure a new database . (using dbca) ,I met an error ,just as follows
[oracle@LinuxOracle install]$ dbca
bash: dbca: command not found
so I looked up in the the documents B19306 , it says that:
"If you chose an installation type that runs Database Configuration Assistant and Oracle Net Configuration Assistant (NetCA) in interactive mode, you must provide detailed information about configuring the database and network.
If you need assistance when using the Database Configuration Assistant or NetCA in interactive mode, then click Help on the screen.
Note:
If you chose a default installation, the Database Configuration Assistant and NetCA run in noninteractive mode."
It's appear to be not well configured .
so how to configure ,or any other solutions to solve this problem .
many thanks .

carl

Are you sure you did setup of Oracle enviroment?
Execute following command:
echo $ORACLE_HOMEIf there is no output then your enviroment is not set.
In that case edit /home/oracle/.bash_profile and add following lines:
ORACLE_BASE=<oracle base path>
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/<oracle home directory>
ORACLE_SID=<oracle SID>
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATHSave the file and execute following command:
. /home/oracle/.bash_profileNow try to execute dbca.

9.0.1 create database using dbca fails

Solaris 8, 64-bit SPARC, 528mb RAM, 2 SCSI 9gig. Development box with no other users/processes running except Sendmail.
Installed Oracle 9.0.1 on machine from CDs with no problems, Attempting to create database using Database Configuration Assistant.
Creating 'general purpose' database using dbca with generally default parameters. Progress bar gets to 50% done, "creating & starting instance" is checked in progress window.
CPU utilization goes to 100% and nothing happens for hours. Eventually have to cancel dbca. No control files or init.ora created, (pfile directory is empty) there are a bunch of oracle processes left running which have to be killed.
I've tried this several times, moved stuff to different drives and/or filesystems, no luck. Have 5 gig available on /u01 where the database should install, and 8 gig available on /u02 where the .dbf's go.
If I had any hair left, I'd pull it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I am getting this same problem: The DBCA gets to the point where it is installing the database and starting the instance (it says 51% of the way through), and then it just sits there doing nothing. I noticed when I installed Oracle (9.2.0) when it got to the point of the configuration assistants, there was mention of a listener not being able to start and the installer assuming it was already started (the listener that is). When the DBCA started right after, it stalled out at 51%.
I aleady had the Sun JDK installed, but am assuming this is not the issue since the install got that far. Can someone please advise a course of action so that I can trouble shoot this? I am very very new to this side of Oracle. Any assistance is greatly appreciated and will be passed along to others in turn.
Thanks,

How to create general purpose database using dbca

Hi,
I have installed oracle 10g on AIX .
and now i have to create a database/instance for the firsttime whch must to be general using dbca.
I want to create database silently. could any one please tell me the command to create a database silently

Hello,
So as to do a completely silent installation you may use a responsefile as follow:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca -silent -cloneTemplate *<General Purpose option>* -datafileDestination */datafilepath* -responseFile */local_dir/dbca.rsp*Where dbca.rsp is a response file template that you may edit so as to supply administrative password,...
Else, about the reason why your command got stuck. You may check the exact options with the statement below:
dbca -hIt may change from one release to another.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Creating database using DBCA stuck at 85% for about 7minutes~

when i create DB using DBCA , it stuck in 85% for a long time ,and the a waring appears
it says :
EM configuration failed due to the following error

refer to the log file at emConfig.log for more details
so i checked the log file,and i find this:

starting emctl dbconsole takes about 7 minutes. and it still failed
some guy say it might a bug ,and can fix it using a patch.
in order to use the patch wizard ,i must login to the em. but i cant open it. and also , i dont have metalink account.
also ,there is another error , when i use emctl start dbconsole ,
it says an instance fo oem 10g Database Control is already running
then i use emctl status dbconsole
but it says EM daemon is not running .
my os is RHEL 5.3
and oracle version is Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86
so i was totally confused....
so ~ if possible give me a reply~ really appreciate~

hello,
You can just create database without EM dbconsole and later you can create EM repository manually. Now if you have already configured it and you don't want to repeat the process then you can do this
To Create
$ emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
To drop
$ emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
To recreate
$ emca -config dbcontrol db -repos recreateRegards

Error while creating database using DBCA

Hi,
I installed Oracle10gR2 on my windows machine.Now am creating a database with dbca but just after i click the finish button it gives me the error -
Cannot create directory "F:\oracle\cfgtoollogs\dbca\ora10g" where F:\oracle is the directory where i have installed Oracle 10g and ora10g is the database name.
I have full permission on the folders.Can anyone please let me know what is the problem here.
Regards,
Somd

Hi OrionNet,
At last i could create the database successfully.But these are the issues I faced and am listing down the solution so that it can help others too.
1.I could not find the Administrative Tools-> Local security Policy --> Local Policies --> User Right Assignment in the Windows Vista Home Premium.I went and checked many blogs and forums on where is it located.It seems it is not included in the home premium and people are having a tough time working out the round abouts.
2.The problem was that my UAC (User Account Control) in the Windows Security Center was turned on which was not allowing me to create the database.I turned it off,and it created the db smoothly.
Thanks a lot for your help..I really appreciate it :)
Regards,
Somd

Cloning a 10G database

I have a database we created on Windows 2003 Server Oracle 10.2.0.3.
I want to create a clone or copy this instance to another server with the same sid name if possible. What is the best way to do this? I have a full backup of the source database using RMAN. I understand there is a way to clone the database using the DBCU. I would like to avoid having to go through all the steps I went through creating the existing 10G database: install, patch, create database, tablespsaces, accounts, roles, import data, tune/configure.
I assume I will have to install the 10G product and patch to 10.2.0.3 but that's not an iusse. Once I have the 10.2 product installed on the new host server what is the best way to copy my existing 10G database over to that new host??

Is it possible to use a full system backup of the server using a backup created by the WIndows OS and restore this backup to the new server assuming the OS is the same? May have to make network setting adjustments but this may be the easiest solutions and I remeber some shops create clone database servers this way.

Get "Creation Script" of the existing table ( in SQL database) using C# and without using SMO dlls

Hi All,
I need to get the "Creation Script" of the existing table using c# and without using SMO dlls (is it possible? I don't know).
I.e. In SQL Management Studio -> right click on any table -> Script table as -> Create To - > open in the new query editor window. This will give you the schema of the table with the constraints of the table.
For E.g. In Northwind database, for the table "Categories", I would like to get it as show below
USE [Northwind]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Categories](
   [CategoryID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
   [CategoryName] [nvarchar](15) NOT NULL,
   [Description] [ntext] NULL,
   [Picture] [image] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Categories] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
   [CategoryID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
GO
I would like to get the same schema using c#. Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Kalai.

SMO is the easiest way to get this. This is what Management Studio uses. If you can't use SMO, get a Profiler trace of the queries that SMO executes when generating the script and execute the same using ADO.NET.
