Configuring multiple services in a single instance database

Dear All,
I would like to create multiple service names for a single instance oracle database (10.2.0.3 on IBM - AIX 6.1). I tried searching on the net, reading documentation, and also on the metalink but couldn't find anything relevant to single instance database.
Say I have two users, userA and userB, for which I would like to use two services (ServA and ServB) to connect to the same single instance database.
Any help in this direction is appreciated.
Regards

Thanks for your quick solution.
By the time you answered I was able to locate it in the documentation. I have tested it and its working perfectly. Here's the documenation link.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams188.htm#i1133481
It is very hard to believe you didn't find this in the documentation, and my suspicion is you didn't search for it at all.It is very hard to believe that you don't trust others and end up in suspicion. I wish you were sitting next to me while I was searching for the link/document.It is because the vast majority of doc questions are asked by people who don't read the docs at all.
Now, I'm curious about your requirement. While it can be done, it is pretty unusual. That always leads me to want to step back from the technical question and ask What business problem is this solving?

  • How to restore a single instance database to RAC (10g) using RMAN ?

    Hi all,
    I have a single instance database configured using file system in a unique server, so now I need to restore this database using RMAN to a new RAC environment with two nodes and ASM also.
    Does anyone can help with this documentation or a link about any information about this restore using rman ?
    I tryied found on metalink but threres isn´t this specific case. Only how to convert single instance to 10g RAC, but without how to use with rman information.

    In essense you are really doing nothing more than restoring a backup on a new host. If you want a blow by blow detail of how to accomplish it take at http://www.oracledistilled.com/oracle-database/restore-database-to-another-host-using-rman
    In order to write the files to the ASM Disk groups you will use the SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE in your restore script. You will also need to create the ORACLE_BASE/admin/<DBSID> structure on all of node. Once you get the database completely restore you will need to edit the SPFILE to include the proper value for the CLUSTER* parameters and each the node specific parameters. Sorry that it is kind of higher level than what you are probably looking for but the link above and what I put here should get you were want to go.

  • Creating a RAC standby database for a single instance database

    Dear All,
    I have a task of migrating a 500GB single instance database to a two-node RAC database with a little downtime at hand. My migration strategy is to:
    1) Create a RAC physical standby for the Single Instance database
    2) Switchover to RAC standby.
    Primary and Standby OS and DB configurations:
    OS: Windows Server EE 2003 (64-bit)
    DB: Oracle 10g Database Release 2 (10.2.0.4)
    Oracle 10g Clusterware Release 2 (10.2.0.4)
    To create a RAC standby, I will:
    a) Install Clusterware (10.2.0.1)
    b) Install Database (10.2.0.1)
    c) Patch both Clusterware and Database (10.2.0.4)
    d) Create ASM instance for both the nodes (+ASM1 & +ASM2)
    e) create standby controlfile on primary
    f) Move standby controlfile, RMAN backup of primary, pfile, listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, password file to standby host-1
    g) make necessary changes to the pfile on standby host-1 like cluster_database, instance_name, thread, ...
    h) mount standby database and restore backup
    Kindly validate my steps and if there already exists such a document then please do provide me with a link.

  • Can we use Grid Infrastructure 11.2 to protect a single instance database?

    Hi all,
    I would like to use Oracle Grid Infrastructure to protect a single-instance database.
    I found these docs:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clusterware/overview/em-db-failover-128585.pdf (for 10.2)
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clusterware/overview/si-db-failover-11g-134623.pdf (for 11.1)
    I was unable to find a similar document for GI 11.2 . Do you know if such a document exists?
    At the moment I only know that the GI is free if used for an Oracle Product, but I am not shure whether it can be used to protext external applications or single-instance databases
    Andrea

    Hi,
    while this still works (the scripts for failover you find in the demo folder $GI_HOME7/crs/demo/coldfailover), the document does not exists, since with 11gR2 there is a supported solution called RAC ONE Node, hence rendering the manual setup obsolete.

  • Managing Multiple threads accessing  a single instance of a class

    Hi,
    i have to redesign a class, say X, in such a way that i manage multiple threads accessing a single instance of the class, we cannot create multiple instances of X. The class looks like this:
    Class X{
    boolean isACalled=false;
    boolean isInitCalled=false;
    boolean isBCalled=false;
    A(){
    isACalled=true;
    Init(){
    if(!isACalled)
    A();
    B();
    C();
    isInitCalled=true;
    B(){
    if(!isACalled)
    A();
    isBCalled=true;
    C(){
    if(!isACalled)
    A();
    if(!isBCalled)
    B();
    }//end of class
    Init is the method that would be invoked on the single instance of this class.
    Now i cannot keep the flags as instance variables coz different threads would have differrent status of these flags at the same time, hence i can make them local, but if i make them local to one method, the others won't be able to check their status, so the only solution i can think of is to place all the flags in a hashtable local to method INIT AND INITIALIZE ALL OF them to false, as init would call other methods, it would pass the hashtable reference as an additional parameter, the methods would set the flags in the hashtable and it would be reflectecd in the original hashtable, and so all the methods can have access to the hashtable of flags and can perform their respective checks and setting of flags.
    This all would be local to one thread, so there's no question of flags of one thread mixin with the flags of some other thread.
    My question is :
    Is this the best way, would this work?
    In java, everything is pass by value, but if i pass the hashtable reference, would the changes made inside the called method to the hashtable key-value would be visible in the original hashtable declared inside the calling method of which the hashtable is local variable?

    In Java object variables are passed "by copy of reference", and primitive variables "by value".
    The solution with HashMap/Hashtable you suggest is ok, but I think you should read about ThreadLocal class:

    Tom,
    looks like you are specifying http protocol in
    sky.framework.ejb.SkySessionBean.getInitialContext method.
    Change it to t3 or, if the JNDI lookup is in the same JVM, don't specify
    PROVIDER_URL. If you have to use http tunneling due to any reason , you have to
    enable HTTP Tunneling in server to which initial context is created. It is
    disabled by default in 60. You can do so via console. Please refer to
    documentation , let me know if you need additional help.

    I think in 6.0
    You would need to open an admin server
    Open the configuration file for say PetStore.
    Clone the petStore- call it petStore2. .
    Create a copy of the startup script and modify it to start PetStore2.
    After doing this only one config.xml is created for both servers.
    I am able to start the first server and view the petStore application,
    On the second server I get an error when I do

    How does one create multiple instances in WL6.0 using the console

    NT isn't a multiuser environment. I will assume that
    you mean some
    Win32 box sitting in a room where people can copy their
    classes/EJBs and
    test their stuff. If this is the case, the setup is easy.
    Create a directory and startup script for every developer.
    Have a
    global properties file in the same directory as the scripts
    so that
    common settings are, well, common. Tell each user to
    modify the various
    parts of the properties files in their directories to
    deploy EJBs and
    register servlets, etc etc.
    In each startup script, you will have to specify the server
    directory
    and the binding port for each person. Pick a port (something
    easy to
    remember and high, like 30000, 30001, etc etc) for each
    person. Why?
    Well, when they connect to the app server, they'll know
    they're hitting
    only their server. Also, TCP/IP won't let more than one
    JVM bind to the
    same port, so if you want simultaneous instances (> 4
    you better have
    one kick ass Win32 box) you have to do this.
    Hope this solves your problem.

  • Converting Single Instance database into Oracle Fail-Safe on Linux

    Hi All,
    We have single instance Oracle10g database running on Linux RHEL4. We are looking to convert this database into Oracle Fail-Safe (Active-Passive). Does any one have document for Oracle fail-safe setup?
    Regards,
    Tushar

    Tushar,
    you can't use software for windows on Linux.
    However, there's number of ways to implement high-availability solution on Linux Oracle.
    You can go with Active-Active (RAC) - which means that you'll have two servers attached to the same database at the same time. You can use either, and if one goes down(due to power failure for instance), the second will still be available.
    You can go with Active-Passive (Data Guard) - which means that you'll have one of the nodes being active and the second passive, but synchronized with the first one, so in case of failure of the first node you can activate the second one.
    You can also go with linux clustering - which is most similar to MCS + fail-safe - you'll have two nodes clustered with linux clustering software (RH cluseter suite for instance) and connected to shared storage. One node is active, and in case of crash database instance will be automatically started on the second node. This is beneficial because you can use your resources more efficiently. In case if you have two databases you can run each of them on dedicated server and then, in case of node failure move to another one. However, the setup of such configuration is quite cumbersome.

  • Configuring multiple R/3 or BW instances behind TAM

    We anticipate that we will have a problem when we attempt to access more than one back-end instance from the same enterprise portal when it is behind Tivoli Access Manager (TAM). Based on the way the TAM configuration, including the Junction Mapping Table (JMT), and the manner in which some back-end applications operate, we suspect there will be a problem reconciling a dynamically generated address to the correct back-end instance.
    For example, we have multiple CRM instances in our landscape. We have implemented the IC Web Client through the Enterprise Portal, and have successfully configured it to work. When the back-end CRM system generates a url, it is reconciled properly because there is only one place where "/sap/..." exists in the JMT. However, because all back-end SAP instances have the same directory structures, any other CRM instance is going to generate the same url, but will expect the browser to return the request to issuing server. TAM intercepts all traffic and will only be able to route it to the first junction it finds, so multiple systems generating the same url will all be routed to one of the instances by TAM.
    Has anyone encountered this? Is there anyone who has a solution? Ingo?
    This issue will be a reality very soon for us, so anyone who has a potential solution please contact me.

    Megha,
    There are two options.
    1. Create two WebSEAL instances as per the integration guide at "<a href="http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24003605">IBM Tivoli Access Manager SAP ITS 6.1 / 6.2 Integration Adapter</a>", and configure the JMT for each TAM instance for the default ITS values (eg "/scripts/wgate" and "/sap/its"); or,
    2. Change the default values of the second SAP instance in the instance's xml configuration file (ITSRegistryWGate.xml) to something other than "/scripts/wgate" and "/sap/its".  Additionally, for SAP EP the default use of "/irj" can be configured to a different value.
    Let me know if you require more in-depth information on either of these options.  I can find the actual parameters, etc, for the files mentioned above...

  • Do we require HBA card for single instance database.

    Hi All,
    I have doubt that we are going to implement a single instance with ASM.
    Db version will 11gR2 as it is asm. My concern HBA is required for single instance oracle database.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks and Regards,

    The question is : do you want your user to be able ti use their application offline ?
    If yes, then you may provide them a local database and use a JDBC type4 driver. (The application is fetch directly from the server when first connected and then is able to lauch the applicaiton off-line) Such a network listen is allowed by the JNLP security model without any application sign !
    If no, then why not having a single database and some user debedant table that store the user specific data (as usual), and using a login dialog-bon (or an auto-logon mechanism) to restric identify and access your database thru some business logic via RMI or any ligh-webservice technology.
    Anyway you have plenty of solutions ..... it only depends of what are the exact needs.

  • Can multiple  hosts exist on single instance

    Hi B2B gurus,
    I would like to present a scenario i am trying to work out.
    Lets say there are 2 buyers B1 and B2
    And 2 suppliers S1 and S2.
    The buyers send a PO to the supplier and the lets say the Supplier sends an Invoice to the Buyer.
    Also there are 8 agreements in all. I mean all possible combinations such that a buyer can send a PO to any supplier and a Supplier can send a invoice to any Buyer.
    My understanding of B2B is that it is generally a single Host TP and there can be multiple remote TP's.
    To make my scenario work we will need multiple host TP's. One solution for this is to install N instances of B2B. But that is not feasible.
    So is it possible to install only one instance of B2B and create multiple Host TP's and multiple agreements as i wanted.
    We can use an API or something similar for this, so that this can all be done through the backend.
    I agree that this may seem a little confusing, so if you have any queries feel free to ask them
    Thanks
    Ravi
    Edited by: Ravi R on Apr 27, 2009 4:47 PM

    I did read the two forums you have mentioned, from this my understanding is the following.
    Without tweaking the current B2B sytem i can have one TP send multiple format documents to multiple TP's without any problems.
    Eg B1 can send to S1 a PO over email . B1 can also send a Change Order to S1 via AS2/FTP?any other method.
    Is my understanding correct??
    So if i were to use the hub model as you suggested i will use different identifiers to identify multiple buyer TP's
    And hence there will be lotsa agreements all on the basis of identifiers and doc received and that will decide the target doc format and the transport delivery method.
    Qn 1 - Does this seem to make sense? (feasibility, possible issues )
    Qn 2 - What will be the performance consideration? Is there any performacne guide or so ??

  • Configuring Listeners error while converting single instance db to RAC +ASM

    Every time when I refresh the db with production db and try to convert to cluster db using rconfig I get this error.
    Verified xml file and every thing is correct in it.
    rconfig convertTOrac.xml

    You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/oracle
    I know its a problem with TNS but still i could not figure out where I am going wrong. Here is the TNS.
    Parameter:
    *.local_listener=LISTENERS_LABDB
    *.remote_listener=''
    TNS: Same has been updated in all the 3 nodes but still no luck.
    LABDB =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = melrhrac2lab1-vip)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = melrhrac2lab2-vip)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = melrhrac2lab3-vip)(PORT = 1521))
    (ENABLE = BROKEN)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = LABDB_APPSVR)
    (FAILOVER_MODE =
    (TYPE = SELECT)
    (METHOD = BASIC)
    (RETRIES = 180)
    (DELAY = 5)
    LISTENERS_LABDB =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = melrhrac2lab1-vip)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = melrhrac2lab2-vip)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = melrhrac2lab3-vip)(PORT = 1521))
    Regards,

    I tried commenting local_listener and also by setting local_listener='' but still no luck. It failed with same error while configuring listerners.
    I would like to know what exatly it(configuring listeners) is trying to do. Please advice.
    Note: I am not using a shared oracle home, each node in the cluster has its own oracle installation residing on local disk. Is a shared oracle home a pre-requisite for using rconfig?
