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.

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.

When you attempt to startup the cloned database on the new server you will find that it needs recovery -- because it was taken in hot backup mode.
That is why you need to copy the archivelogs that are generated from the first archivelog after the first "alter tablespace begin backup" to the first archivelog after the last "alter tablespace end backup".
I see that you are also including a CREATE CONTROLFILE script.
You would run that at the cloned environment.
Then you would issue the RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL command to make the clone consistent.
You can, of course, use the same method to copy these archivelogs as you use to copy database files -- tar, cpio, tape, etc.

Wrong results after upgrading 10g database to 11.2.0.2.6

Hi,
Do anyone know, why the following query results are different?
Not Working query:
sql1:
select col1 from tab1
where col1 = (select '123' from dual)
Working query:
sql2:
select col1 from tab1
where col1 = '123';
Both the sql1 and sql2 are returning same reseults in 10g database , but not in 11g.

Pl post OS details along with sample outputs and explain plans from the the sql1 statement from the two databases. These MOS Docs may help also

Problem Oracle 10g database Installation on Windows 2003 Server

Hi All,
I am trying to face some problem to install oracle 10g database on windows 2003 server with service pack 2. Once I start to installation it give me an error "Error in writing to directory 'c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\orainstall2004xxx'.

I double-insured that there is enough disk-space and I am also in the Administrators-Group.
Please guide me for the above problem although I have done oracle 9i database installation with the same configuration.

Reports 6i against 10g database

Hi,
We are upgrading our database from 9i to 10g. We are running our reports (6i) against 10g database in the batch mode. For some of our reports we are getting the following error:
REP-0736: There exist uncompiled program unit(s).
REP-1247: Report contains uncompiled PL/SQL.
When report is opened in ReportBuilder it needs to be recompiled against 10g and then it runs fine.
Please advise how to solve this problem.

This is not because of the database is changed. Some of the packages/program units compilation dates might have changed and hence reports wants it to be recompiled.

Running JAXB2 in a 10g Database

Hi All,
We have some java business logic which uses JAXB2. We now would like to be able to call / store this java code inside the database. It's a 10g database, which I understand has the 1.4 JVM, so I've retrotranslated the code (and the JAXB2 dependencies) and created a compatible jar. The loadjava command^1^ completes successfully, however when I try and execute the code which unmarshals the XML, I get the following error: Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Provider com.sun.xml.bind.v2.ContextFactory could not be instantiated: javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: Provider com.sun.xml.bind.v2.ContextFactory not found
The ContextFactory is definitely in the jar file. Looking through the generated DB trace file I see the following:
creating : class com/sun/xml/bind/v2/ContextFactory with resolver ((* london) (* PUBLIC) (org/apache/* -) (jp/gr/xml/relax/* -) (com/bea/* -) (javax/management/* -) (com/thoughtworks/xstream/* -) (org/jvnet/* -) (com/sun/xml/fastinfoset/* -) (sun/misc/* -))
but then, instead of resolving the class:
skipping : class com/sun/xml/bind/v2/ContextFactory
Why would the ContextFactory be skipped? Is there any way I can force the loadjava command to resolve it?
1. The server-side loadJava command I use is: call sys.dbms_java.loadjava( '-force -verbose -resolve /scripts/p3/db_sql/cta23001.jar','((* london) (* PUBLIC) (org/apache/* -) (jp/gr/xml/relax/* -) (com/bea/* -) (javax/management/* -) (com/thoughtworks/xstream/* -) (org/jvnet/* -) (com/sun/xml/fastinfoset/* -) (sun/misc/* -))' );

Hi:
You can find Jaxb related classes implemented by Oracle into ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/xml.jar but not all classes should be installed, please look at Ant task named unpack-jaxb-classes at:
[http://dbprism.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dbprism/cms-2.1/tasks/cms.xml?revision=1.19&view=markup]
this Ant task extract all Jaxb required classes which can be installed into an Oracle 10g/11g database, see the Task pre-install which install this jar into SYS's schema.
To see how to use Jaxb marshall/unmarshall operation please take a look at the method processRequestAction, inside the code you can see how to instantiate the marshaller and unmarshaller:
[http://dbprism.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dbprism/cms-2.1/src/com/prism/cms/action/Controller.java?revision=1.8&view=markup]

I had the same problem and solved it by doing the following:
Do not stop the DBCA to do this.
Go to Start->Control Panel-> Services -> oracleserviceyoursid and start the service. That will get you through that error.
Just in case you see this one as well....I did encounter a TNS error after that. I resolved this by commenting out (#) the line SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NTS) in SQLNET.ORA file.

Creating XML file via sql in 10g database

Hi
I am using an Oracle 10g database and via a procedure that is called from Forms 10g, I want to output data in XML format so that this file can be fed into an accounting system that uses XML.
How do I go about doing this?

How do I go about doing this?The most flexible way is via SQL/XML publishing functions.
And use DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.CLOB2FILE to write the result to a file in a single call :
DECLARE

               , d.dname as "name"
             , xmlelement("Employees",
                 xmlagg(
                   xmlelement("Employee",
