Cloning : hot cloning and cold cloning

hi
how to clone in EBS R12.I am a core DBA student currenly working as trainee in EBS dba.
can anyone explain ....
i am requesting some details on hot cloning , cold cloning and user managed cloning techniques.
in user managed cloning i need to run adpreclone.pl then copy some files then whats for when using rapid clone ??
rgrds

See the below metalink notes on cloning..

Cold backup vs cold cloning

Can anyone tell me the major difference between cold backup and cold cloning?
Thanks

There is no comparison of difference, since they are different thing.
Cold Backup is a safe copy of existing database dismounted (i.e offline mode). The RMAN generated a new file which is read/write only by RMAN, also RMAN can generate a copy of database files on specific location.
Cloud Cloning is a duplication of existing database with was backed up in offline mode. The RMAN restore database files which is read/write by a Instance.

Hot cloning & cold cloning

i need hot cloning & cold cloning documents

This is something strange to me. What do you mean by "hot cloning & cold cloning".Database cloning is part of Application cloning. When you clone Oracle Application, you need to run pre-clone and post-clone on both the application and database tiers. To clone the database, either you shut it down and copy the files (cold backup), or you can use RMAN to recreate the database (hot backup).
What I know is, using Hot/Cold Database backup can be performed cloning of a database. How this cloning & cold cloning relates to Oracle ApplicationsAlready answered above.
Only the possible method for Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i/12i is with Rapid Clone.For non-AutoConfig enabled systems, you cannot use Rapid Clone. Instead, you need to follow the steps in "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i" paper/note.

Configure OEM after cold cloning

Dear All
After performing cold cloning ,I am trying to configure OEM which shows me error message in logfile,
CONFIG: ORA-20001: SYSMAN already exists..
Do I need to drop DBSNMP and SYSMAN schema and create repos from the beginning, if yes then is there any effect on database if I drop schemas.
kindly post steps about configuring OEM after cold cloning .
Database Version : 11.2.0.1
Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean by "cold cloning." What version of EM are you using, and what is it you want to do?

Patching with cold cloning

Greeting to Everyone
I am running two virtual machines.
I am going to do cold cloning from one server to another server in same host.
vmware machine 01 : testdb (10.2.0.4.0)
vmware machine 02 : no db is running (10.2.0.1.0) - Just i installed s/w only.
Before cloning , i am applying patch on 10.2.0.1.0 binary without database (only with $ORACLE_HOME) . then i i'll start cold cloning.

Inter-script communication and script cloning

How does a calling script pass information about itself to a script it calls via a tell statement? I'd want to pass the name and path of the calling script's application file, among other things. The called script would then talk back to the calling script, and so forth. Must this be done explicitly by, say, having the called script invoke a script object in the calling script, or can information about the calling script be passed by the call itself?
Also, how would one get a script application to clone a copy of itself? Would having the Finder just make a copy of the application file from within the script itself work?
Thanks for any insights.

I saved the following as an application and ran it as an application (outside the Script Editor!) and it 'cloned' itself as expected.
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "Finder" to duplicate (path to me)</pre>Another interesting feature of script objects, however, is that you don't need to duplicate scripts with the Finder to get multiple script objects. The preferred method is to load the same script into multiple variables of the calling script, and then assign different properties to each new instance of the called script.
You can even do this with scripts that you define within the calling script itself, or with particular handlers or scripts defined in other files. I've rarely needed to go that far in my own scripting adventures, but I've done it before. More frequently I just use the much simpler run script command to pass parameters and return results from a called script file. See this thread for info on that:

Difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration"

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone tell me the difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration". I have gone through Google but doesn't find any appropriate answer for that where I can find the difference.
It would be highly appreciated if you give me a link for all and give me some point out.
Thanks & Regards
Nimai Karmakar

Here is how I see the terms used and understood by most folks
"Data replication"
This is the keeping the same data in sync in 2 different databases. Replication is the process of keeping data in sync between 2 environments/databases and not limited to Oracle to Oracle, it could be Oracle to MySQL to be kept in sync, MySQL to Oracle, Oracle to SQL Server, SQL Server to Oracle. The purpose of keeping data in sync can vary, but that is basic description of what it is.
"Data Cloning"
Make a copy of the data/database from one database environment to another, like for example taking production database and cloning the database to a pre-production database/environment for testing. Coning term is used more when copying a database not just data, but the whole database so typically you hear the reference "Database Cloning", but data cloning is basically the making a copy of the data from one place to another. Sometimes Cloning and Duplicating are used in the same way by folks as the basic end result is the same you are making a copy of the data to someplace else.
"Data duplication"
This is typically term when duplicating the data from one environment to another for a particular purpose, a lot of folks use "Data/Database Cloning" and "Data Duplication" in the same context, meaning they use them to mean the same thing, but I see more difference in the terms so when they are different Data Duplication is done when combining 2 databases to 1 therefore you can not clone the 2 databases into one so this term would be used more in those circumstances.
"Data Migration"
Moving data from one location/database to another location database, for example moving from MySQL to Oracle you would do a data migration from MySQL to Oracle as you are moving the data from MySQL to Oracle and going to leave it in Oracle. You could also be migrating to from Oracle 10g environment to a new Oracle 11g environment, therefore "Migration" is typically used when referring to moving the data from one environment to another and the source and target are different in location, database vendor, database version.
These are very simple ways of looking at the terms from my experience on how they are used.

Highlight Hot and Cold toggle turns entire Image RED!

Hi,
I'm curious if anyone has a solution to this issue. I'm using Aperture 2.1.3 on a Macbook Pro running OS Version 10.5.7. I shoot Nikon RAW files and a while back when I hit the ever helpful Option-shift-H (to toggle the Highlight Hot and Cold feature), I end up with the entire image turning red (Hot). Now the histogram is fine, I just can't fine tune the hot and cold areas with the feature. . . I've tried reloading Aperture 2 from the original disk (I did not delete the original copy firs in fear of loosing my images).
This feature worked fine until about 6 months ago- it probably stopped working during one of the updates. . . The "creative" at the apple store scratched his head and suggested I post here for a solution. . . Any help world be appreciated.

In Aperture try this:
Go to Preferences (cmd+,) -> Appearance
Then set
Hot Area Display Threshold to 100%
Cold Area Display Threshold to 0%
You might have set hot to 0% which would cause all parts of the image to appear red.
Just play a bit with those sliders to get what you want.

Toggle on "Highlight Hot and Cold Areas"

Aloha all.
When ever I toggle on "Highlight Hot and Cold Areas" my image turns solid red. I know I must have a setting turned on or set too high but I can't figure it out? Anyone else with this problem? Solutions?
Using Aperture 2.1

In Preferences->Appearance, see what the hot area display threshold is set to. It should be 97 or higher.

Hot and cold backups

i am learning to take hot and cold backups and i am having doubts regarding restoring and recovering/
1. When restoring the cold backup .. i am copying the control and datafiles from the backup and then starting the database with reset logs is this enough?
2. When i am recovering a tablespace in hot backup .. i have replaced the file from backup. I need to do something with the archive log files. Where do i place them in the database? If i have done some transactions after taking the hotback.. will i loose those transactions?

"1. When restoring the cold backup .. i am copying the control and datafiles from the backup and then starting the database with reset logs is this enough?"
Yes, you are right.... also include password file in your backup file list...
2. When i am recovering a tablespace in hot backup .. i have replaced the file from backup. I need to do something with the archive log files. Where do i place them in the database? If i have done some transactions after taking the hotback.. will i loose those transactions?
You can place the old datafile at new location also. For hot backup, your DB must
be running in archive log mode, so you will not loose any transaction.....

Highlight hot and cold areas

When "Highlight hot and cold areas" is turned on I often get some blue outlines in a photo, but when I press "Z" (zoom) they disappear. What is going on?

Could be a number of reasons for this but nothing to worry about. You could try looking at the hot/cold threshold levels but you need to remember smaller images can't hold the same amount of data as large ones. Edge sharpening for example, on the large scale may contrast 10,000 pixels along a 1 inch line to the full size image. Now think what has to happen when the image is shown as a 7x5. Think of it in terms of Bit Depth. With 1 bit there is no grey area and choices have to be made about what to show. In this case it is not a perfect copy of the full size image. Allan

Hot and Cold area viewing confusing me...

Hi Everyone,
I've been using Aperture 2 since it came and I'm liking the workflow and integration with the rest of OSX. Today I stumbled upon something confusing. I was playing with the display hot and cold areas option and was finding that when I measured the hot areas with the loupe, that the color values weren't actually blown out...
For example, I had a picture of a rose that when zoomed in, I could see the detail in the petals but was still being flagged as blown out. When I did a loupe rgb read on a 1x1 pixel point, I found that the red value was around 211...I thought that hot areas are 255?
Maybe I'm confusing what "hot" means. I've even seen cases where the master image is flagged as having more hot areas even though it is less saturated and exposure level is lower.
Can something be wrong with the hot/cold area function? Can anyone give it a try and see what kind of values they are seeing with the hot and cold area viewer?
Thanks.

Hi stjuste
re Maybe I'm confusing what "hot" means. I've even seen cases where the master image is flagged as having more hot areas even though it is less saturated and exposure level is lower.
Thought I would check. Used a pic of a dancer at night with firebrands. Pic looks good as I shot it.
Measured the "Hot Spot' at 255, and some others at a lower value. The manual says:
Images may occasionally have overly bright areas where color information about the
area is beyond the standard limits of the Aperture working color space. For example,
white areas in an image brightly lit with direct sunlight, or bright flashes off a water
surface, may be so bright that their color is outside the working color space. In addition,
images may occasionally have black areas where color information about the area is
below the standard limits of the working color space. Aperture can display these “hot”
and “cold” areas of an image with tints on the image to help you identify hot and cold
areas. You may be able to adjust these areas and recover highlight and shadow detail
identified by the hot and cold area overlays by changing the exposure, the recovery, the
black point, or the gamma setting of the image.
This maybe of help.. maybe not. Probably like you I set up the pics how I want them not what any program tells me.
Interesting though. I will do a bit more checking.
Cheers
Tomix.
