Cloning Suport on Oracle 10.1.2

I'm trying to clone an Oracle iAS 10.1.2.
My Oracle iAS enviroment don't have any clone dir. So, I downloaded the patch for linux Platform to add the cloning support files in the enviroment.
When I try to apply the patch I get this error:
MISSING_COMPONENT : oracle.sysman.common, 10.1.0.2.0 (found a component with higher version)
So I have two questions on cloning:
This p3734924_10102_GENERIC.zip is the correct patch to include clone support on Oracle iAS 10.1.2 ?
How can I add the cloning support files on my Oracle iAS 10.1.2 ?
Thanx !

I'm having the same problem. It doesn't matter whether the report has an image or not. It crashes intermittently....!
O/S : Windows 2003
Application Server : 10.1.2.0.2
Database: 10g Rel.2
I don't think its load issue.....! Once in a while randomly reports server will time out and crashes:
Ex:Terminated with error: REP-56109: Job 2738 is terminated due to connection timeout
If I don't set the TimeOut Parameter it will hang the server......!
I think its a bug in ORacle Reports...! We started to have this problem since 10g Rel 1 and carried to Release 2.
I never had this problem before 10g. I tried making all kinds of changes but no luck......!
Thanks

Cloning and Synchronizing Oracle BI Requests and Dashboards Using CAF

Hi,
Cloning and Synchronizing Oracle BI Requests and Dashboards Using Content Accelerator Framework (CAF)
what is this and in what scenario we use it? Is it useful for webcatalog/rpd migration from one env to other?
Thanks
Jay.

Hi Jay,
CAF is a utility that is used in migration of logical part of RPD and catalog objects from source to target environments. There are bunch of OBIEE bloggers already blogged about this a while ago. Check this article out, it should provide the information you are looking for: ( http://debaatobiee.wordpress.com/2009/11/26/playing-with-cafobiee-content-accelerator-framework/ ).
FYI - If you are working in 11g environment, this tool (CAF) as far as I know is not supported. This tool was introduced by oracle few months before 11g came out which everyone thought would be big on revolutionizing the way migrations are done in OBIEE between environments.

Copying or Cloning a local Oracle Database on a remote Server

Hi,
I am NOT a database administrator. A requirement came up such that I had to take up the Database Administrator role. The problem is like this...
I have an oracle 10gR2 (Development) database on a Windows 2003 Server situated locally (in India). I need to copy or clone this Oracle Database to another Windows 2003 Server located remotely (in USA).
How do I do this? Well I have done some websearch and found out various methods like RMAN DUPLICATE and so on. I don't understand RMAN - I am not an Administrator.
Please do give me the proper step-by-step functions that I need to perform to solve my problem.
Thanks in advance for your help and support.

Cloning EBS using Oracle VM

Hi does anyone have any practical experience with cloning of release 12 using Oracle VM ?
I need to knock out some environments during the upgrade project - vmware technology is ideal for copying an environment - I dont want to have to clone the db and app server each time as this is time consuming and i AM THINKING THERE may be an easier way ...
Welcome advice from anyone who has cloned 11i or release 12 system using vmware/oracle vm technology.
In the past I have run pre clone on app server, copied app server and db and run adclone to configure the new server .. this is quite time consuming
Concurrent manager uses os hostname command to sort out name of server so this could be a problem which would not work with straight copy and edit to hosts file such that server x thinks it server y because server y is in /etc/hosts file ...
This copy and amend approach has worked Ok with soasuite for example I need advice with respect to Oracle Financials ...
many thanks in advance
Cheers, Rob

This copy and amend approach has worked Ok with soasuite for example I need advice with respect to Oracle Financials ...If you use WMware and if you want to do some upgrade process and dont want to take backup or clone of EBS than you can try to use Snapshoot option. Before start process use menu (It should be under tool menu top of screen) and take snapshoot.Let us say call it Level0 which mean your system working and didnt apply any patch etc.. Each steps of upgrade you can give new name. If you have any issue during upgrade or other process you can turn to snapshoot which u took.
The other steps, you can copy/paste your Wm folder(If you have valid space on disk) and if you have any isue during upgrade you can use this backup but dont forget you need to start over what you do before on this backup(Be sure you have same entery on hosts file)
If you want to take clone, as Hussein Sawwan's mention you need to follow clone docs.

Oracle 10g RAC installation on HP-UX 11.31 for SAP ERP 6.04

Dear experts,
We are trying to install SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 with Oracle 10g RAC on HP-UX 11.31. Please note that, We are using VERITAS cluster filesystem (CFS) for this purpose and not HP-UX ServiceGuard ClusterFileSystem.
*As per SAP procedure, we have installaed plain plain SAP system with single instance Oracle (ref: Configuration of SAP NetWeaver for Oracle Database 10gRAC guide). Now we are first trying to install Oracle Clusterware (CRS) and then we will install Oracle RAC software. Is this procedure right?*
Which file (and its path) we have to use for CRS installation and its patch? Is it runInstaller under /oracle/stage/102_64/clusterware? With this file we can install CRS 10.2.0.1. Similarly for Oracle RAC, which files we are supposed to use, i.e for installation and patch upgrade?
Also can we use clusterware package available from Oracle directly in the SAP environment?
We tried to install CRS with runInstaller while running Configuration Assistant after root.sh script.
The following commands are failing in Configuration Assistant:
/oracle/CRS/102_64/bin/racgons add_config erpprdd1:4948 erpprdd2:4948
/oracle/CRS/102_64/bin/oifcfg setif -global lan1/20.20.20.0:cluster_interconnect lan0/192.168.3.0:public
/oracle/CRS/102_64/bin/cluvfy stage -post crsinst -n erpprdd1,erpprdd2
1st command does not give any output if run manually.
2nd commands o/p: PRIF-12: failed to initialize cluster support services
3rd commands fails in every check
Please suggest the solution and expecting answers to the above mentioned questions.
Thanks & Regards,
Tejas

You can go for combined os migration and db release upgrade also at a stretch with the same downtime.

E-Business Suite Database Tier cloning failure

Hi All,
We are cloning a new Oracle E-Business Suite test instance from the cold backup of our production. Production is single instance/archive log enabled. However, the target instance is single instance/no archive log. the DB version is 11.1.0.7
When i am running adcfgclone.pl on the database tier, it errors out with the following.

I tried another cold backup(we take cold backups every night) but facing the same issue with another backup also. That's why i think its not an issue with system.dbf file being corrupt.
when i searched metalink for ORA-600 with kcvhvdf_1, i found that it is a bug in 11.1.0.7. bug 9314439.
the bug says:
The problem is that when the datafiles have zero DB ID=0=0x0, the 'create controlfile set database' command is not setting the new DB ID in the datafile headers but only in the controlfile. It then causes the ORA-600 [kcvhvdf_1] to be produced in the recovery due to DB ID mismatch between datafiles (select FHDBI from x$kcvfh) and controlfile (select DBID from v$database).
I verified the above statement and found it true.
SQL> select FHDBI from x$kcvfh;

select DBID from v$database;

The bug states a work around:
If using a cold backup (after a clean shutdown - NORMAL/IMMEDIATE), one workaround is to open the database right after the create controlfile (with no previous recover):
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "DEV2" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG ...
alter database open resetlogs;
However, this workaround is not working for me.
Kindly help. Its urgent.

E-business Application cloning

Hi,
I have some doubts regarding E-business application cloning. As per Oracle documents, we have to first prepare source system by executing adpreclone.pl script. I do understand, that this script captures the changes done in source system and create templates out of it. On target system, we execute adcfgclone.pl on dbtier and apps tier.
However I have seen a practice where sometimes refresh from production environment to dev environment is done. While doing refresh, following steps are performed:
1> source system's db tier is directly cloned using Rman duplicate command. Only dbtier is cloned not rdbms oracle home.
2> on dbtier, adcgfclone.pl is NOT EXECUTED. instead node_name column from FND_CONCURRENT_QUEUES is updated with web-tier name and concurrent manager server name ( APPS tier has shared APPL_TOP and one node is webtier node and other is APPS_tier node)
3> application tier binaries are copied (overwritten) to apps tier of dev system (context file for both nodes already backed up before overwrite)
4> adcfgclone appstier <backedup contextfile> is executed on webtier first then on concurrent manager node following is executed in order
adclonectx.pl addnode contextfile= <path to backed up context file> then backuped up contextfile copied to original location and
adconfig.pl contextfile=<path of contextfile> is executed.
Then autoconfig is executed on all appstier nodes and system works all fine. In whole process, I am unable to understand following two steps,
1> how update to FND_CONCURRENT_QUEUES table works directly.
2> in Oracle home of rdbms, i checked, in appsutil folder, clone folder is missing, i.e no adcfgclone.pl.. why is this??
These steps are complete different from those mentioned in Oracle docs.. Kindly please explain the steps here at dbtier.. they are confusing.

I meant we do not execute adcfgclone.pl. only update this table with node names of web node and concurrent manager node. then execute cmclean.sql and then run autoconfig thats it. no more steps and our dbtier gets set.As mentioned above, run cmclean.sql, clean FND_NODES then run AutoConfig. You could also update it from the application (System Administrator responsibility > Concurrent > Manager > Define) screen or from the backend by updating the table (cmclean.sql script updates other columns in the same table).
On my rdbms Oracle_home folder appsutil folder is present. only clone folder in it is missing. that means adpreclone was not executed. I am not able to under stand how without preparing source system for cloning (without using adpreclone) directly cloning db with rman (using active clone) and just cloning apps tier we are able to get exact copy. when docs suggest we muct execute adcfgclone on dbtier (which we don't) and we also do not execute adpreclone on source systemRunning preclone on the source instance is a must. However, if you only need to refresh the database (you mentioned before you do not need to refresh the RDBMS ORACLE_HOME) then you can recreate the database manually or using RMAN. If you need to refresh RDBMS $ORACLE_HOME then you need to run preclone on the source RDBMS $ORACLE_HOME, copy the $ORACLE_HOME files and run adcfgclone.pl script on the target node.

Hussein

Looking for a clone solution for Oracle WebCenter Content, Imaging and related products

Hi,
We are looking for a manual or automated cloning solution for Oracle WebCenter Content (UCM), Imaging (ICM) and related products. Oracle FMW has T2P cloning option, but we are looking for more specific to just this product to clone and configure (if needed). Any help is appreciated.
Best Regards

Hi
Assuming you have set up Purchasing with accrual method on receipt (and not on period end), you could enter the PO lines with receipt required. The receipt transactions you are uploading will generate the accounting to charge the expense accounts / or inventory valuation account.
There is no need to interface those also to Payables. In AP enter one invoice with the real monthly amount and match it to the purchase order level or to the receipts level. Approve and pay that invoice.

Oracle single instance rac installation

hi,
do I need minimum of 2 servers in order to carry out 11.2 oracle single instance RAC installation ? or that its possible with one node? and then can add more nodes in future?
is there any article/documents on this?
thanks

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e10718/clonerac.htm#CHDGFHCA
"The cloning process assumes that you successfully installed an Oracle Clusterware home and an Oracle home with Oracle RAC on at least one node. In addition, all root scripts must have run successfully on the node from which you are extending your cluster database."
also
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e10717/intro.htm#BEIHEJGD
"Overview of Cloning and Extending Oracle Clusterware in Grid Environments
Cloning nodes is the preferred method of creating new clusters. The cloning process copies Oracle Clusterware software images to other nodes that have similar hardware and software. Use cloning to quickly create several clusters of the same configuration. Before using cloning, you must install an Oracle Clusterware home successfully on at least one node using the instructions in your platform-specific Oracle Clusterware installation guide.
For new installations, or if you must install on only one cluster, Oracle recommends that you use the automated and interactive installation methods, such as Oracle Universal Installer or the Provisioning Pack feature of Oracle Enterprise Manager. These methods perform installation checks to ensure a successful installation. To add or delete Oracle Clusterware from nodes in the cluster, use the addNode.sh and rootcrs.pl scripts."
it doesnt directly say its possible and I cant find full documentation on how to go about it ... but seem like its possible ?

11i eBiz RAC 9i database cloning to a envronment with existing 10g CRS

production is 9.2.0.8 RAC Need to clone production to lower instance using Rapid Clone. Has done such clone before.
The new issue is there is an another 10g RAC database with 10g Clusterware has been installed in this server and the cloned 9i RAC need to co-exist with this 10g RAC database.
I am thinking to use 10g clusterware to manager 9i RAC database.
From cloning point of view, how to clone a 9i RAC database to an environment with 10g clusterare.
Should I use 9i oracle home 9.2.0/appsutil/clone/bin/adcfgclone.pl or should I use 10g oracle home adcfgclone.pl?

Hi,
production is 9.2.0.8 RAC Need to clone production to lower instance using Rapid Clone. Has done such clone before.I did not try this type of clone before. However, I believe you cannot use 10g ORACLE_HOME as cloning 11i instance with Rapid Clone on 10g database requires additional manual steps which cannot be applied to the 9i ORACLE_HOME. From Rapid Clone point of view, I believe you need to issue adcfgclone.pl from the 9i ORACLE_HOME

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.

AttachHome fails for 9i Oracle Home

Hi,
I cloned an existing Oracle 9i(9.2.0.8) home to one of our new servers.
While trying to add Oracle home to existing inventory it's failing.
I am using command
./runInstaller -silent -ignoreSysPrereqs -attachHome ORACLE_HOME="ORACLE_HOME_PATH" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="9i_Home"
Inventory log shows below error...
Oracle home '9i_Home' was not attached or installed due to missing dependency.
CRS clusterware is not detected.
OS is Solaris 10
Any ideas on this?
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
Pls find the details.We have a 11g home on this sever and that cloning went fine.

Host credentials using Sudo su - oracle - linux

Hi All:
I recently installed GC 10.2.0.4 in linux environment. All our db servers are linux. Acces to the oracle user on these database servers is restricted in that DBAs have to login as themselves and sudo into oracle using their own password
'sudo su - oracle'
there is no way we can login/ssh into these servers as 'oracle'.
as we know most of the functionality, including
*cloning a database/oracle home
*start/sto listener, database
*run a sql script ....and many more require that we provide the Host credentials i.e oracle userid/password. How do I accomplish that? When I provided my own userid which is in 'dba' group , it did not work.
In the setup->preferred credentials page for the hosts there is run as column which can be used to provide my userid and ask it to run as oracle. But this only works when I set at the default level for all hosts ,
when I try to do the same for each host.. it does not allow me to do that .. the 'run as' feild is locked .... any ideas as to how I can fix this ?
also , a lot of places it does not even care for the preferred credentials it again asks for host userid and apssword ... and looks like its willing to take no less than the 'owner' who installed the product ...namely 'Oracle'
please help....

Now I want to via Oracle Grid Control to be able to perform a Backup as me (philwilliams) but doing a sudo to the oracle
account.
[1] Sudo works on the target host
i.e which sudo
/usr/bin/sudo This matches the path in the create privs command
[2] I can on the host so a sudo to oracle OK
[3] However when in GC I cannot select the credntial so do as run as?
I have RTFM ;-) but think I am missing something obvious ? Any Ideas
