Create dev and test instances of Apex on the same server and database

I have a dev and prod instances of Apex on different servers. I want a test instance on the same server as the dev instance.
I am using workspace export/import so all instance workspaces have the same workspace id. The application ID is the same on each instance, in the same workspace. This allows pages to be exported/imported in the differenct instances.
My question is (I am sure it is obvious) can I have more than one instances of Apex on the same database (dev and test) and have each instance have identical Workspace IDs, etc.

Hi Sam,
But you can have more than one database on the same server.
What we do is create a separate database for each APEX versions we are supporting (we still have a customer using APEX 2.0).
All the databases are accessed with the same APACHE config. All you have to do is change the DAD and have a separate dad for each database (i.e. each APEX versions).
ex : /pls/apex_dev /pls/apex_test
This way , I can run different APEX versions on the same server.

Can BO XI and CE 10 be installed on the same server?

We are preparing to upgrade our existing CE 10 to BO XI; however, we were unable to obtain a test server and will need to install it on the same server that CE 10 resides on (our development server). I heard that both versions could not reside on the same server and I need this confirmed by a SME. Thank you. ~emoreno

Tim,
I'm not sure that my question was answered. I just need to know whether CE10 and BO XI can be installed on the same server? I have a development server (not a VM) with CE 10 and another customer wants to install BO XI on the same server. I heard through other sources that BO XI and CE 10 cannot reside on the same server. I need to know if this statement is accurate? If BO XI cannot reside on the same server as CE 10, then our contracted vendor will have to provide t this customer with a different server. I need this information confirmed in order to notify my management.
Thanks...EMoreno

I loaded in Lion - but my time capsule will not back up. I get an message: couldn't complete backup due to a network prolem. Also it says "make sure your computer and back up disk are on the same network, and that the backup disk is turned on.

I installed Lion on my Mac Pro laptop. Regarding Time Capsul - I get a messaage as follows: couldn't complete backup due to a network problem. Make sure your computer and back up disk are on the same network and that the backup disk is turned on. Then try again to back up. I have time capsul turned on. bill

I have exactly same problem with my MBP and MBA, after upgrading to Lion. I've tried to fix this issue while cheking key chain issues and network setup, even formating hdd and time capsule firmware upgrade (ver. 7.6.1.). Nothing can help. It is very annoying.

Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem.
After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet.
I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to the net and function well.
So I cleaned up the ipad completely, installed the latest firmware and reinstalled my apps : no connection.
I tried all things of resets and forgets. No result.
I have been fondling with my Airport Extreme 5 , but that did not help much.
This morning I went to a neighbor , hooked my ipad air on his network, typed the password and the thing all worked fine.
I have tried to connect the ipad air as an ethernet client, but that did not work. „Not enough power“ was the statement
Ideas anyone ?

Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

I can call my ipad with my iphone alll the time. That's how I check up on my kids at home when I"m at work. You just set up to your iphone's facetime setting with your phone number and set up your ipad's facetime settings with your apple id (in this case it's your email)

Rman duplication of database to the same server and same disk group

Hi,
We have multiple databases - rmsprd1 and oidprd1 on asm disk groups - ASMDG_DAT01 and ASMDG_FRA01 on a server.
Both these databases are single instance asm based databases.
I am trying to do a rman duplication from rmsprd1 to rmsprd2 in the same server. I intend to use the same asm disk groups - ASMDG_DAT01 and ASMDG_FRA01.
Is this possible ?
Currently I have the following structure
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD1/DATAFILE
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD1/CHANGETRACKING/
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD1/CONTROLFILE/
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD1/DATAFILE/
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD1/ONLINELOG/
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD1/PARAMETERFILE/
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD1/TEMPFILE/
+ASMDG_FRA01/RMSPRD1/AUTOBACKUP/
+ASMDG_FRA01/RMSPRD1/BACKUPSET/
+ASMDG_FRA01/RMSPRD1/CONTROLFILE/
+ASMDG_FRA01/RMSPRD1/DATAFILE/
+ASMDG_FRA01/RMSPRD1/ONLINELOG/
Will I be able to create something like
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD2/DATAFILE
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD2/CHANGETRACKING/
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD2/CONTROLFILE/
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD2/DATAFILE/
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD2/ONLINELOG/
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD2/PARAMETERFILE/
+ASMDG_DAT01/RMSPRD2/TEMPFILE/
+ASMDG_FRA01/RMSPRD2/AUTOBACKUP/
+ASMDG_FRA01/RMSPRD2/BACKUPSET/
+ASMDG_FRA01/RMSPRD2/CONTROLFILE/
+ASMDG_FRA01/RMSPRD2/DATAFILE/
+ASMDG_FRA01/RMSPRD2/ONLINELOG/
I know that I can create a different asm disk group for the rman duplication but this is proving to be a hassle.
Thanks

Hi,
I have found the answer working with Oracle via a service request. Admittedly there was no direct oracle documentation for doing this and hence documenting the steps here.
No legalities, formalities involved please.
Here are the steps - rmsprd1 is the source, rmsprd2 is the target, +ASM is the asm instance supporting both rmsprd1 and rmsprd2. The intention is to put both the source and destination in the same server. The backupset backup in location /dbaadm/sandeep_rman_refresh will be used for the duplication.
1) Take rman backupset backup of the source database - rmsprd1
rman_take_backup.ksh ( Take backup of source - rmsprd1 using rman ). The contents of the rman_take_backup.sh script are given below :
rm /dbaadm/sandeep_rman_refresh/*
export NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS'
rman target / <<EOF
run
allocate channel d1 device type disk format '/dbaadm/sandeep_rman_refresh/%U';
allocate channel d2 device type disk format '/dbaadm/sandeep_rman_refresh/%U';
allocate channel d3 device type disk format '/dbaadm/sandeep_rman_refresh/%U';
allocate channel d4 device type disk format '/dbaadm/sandeep_rman_refresh/%U';
allocate channel d5 device type disk format '/dbaadm/sandeep_rman_refresh/%U';
allocate channel d6 device type disk format '/dbaadm/sandeep_rman_refresh/%U';
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/dbaadm/sandeep_rman_refresh/%F';
backup as backupset database plus archivelog tag 'clonebackupset';
EOF
2) Make the directories for destination database ( rmsprd2 )
/opt/oracle/admin> mkdir -p rmsprd2/adump rmsprd2/dpdump rmsprd2/pfile rmsprd2/scripts
3) Create pfile from rmsprd1 spfile. copy/rename the pfile to make a pfile for rmsprd2.
4) Edit listener.ora in ASM ORACLE_HOME and edit tnsnames.ora in DB ORACLE_HOME
listener.ora
LISTENER_RMSPRD2 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1522))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = kirkjerpdb01.kirklands.com)(PORT = 1522))
SID_LIST_LISTENER_RMSPRD2 =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
( ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 )
( SID_NAME = rmsprd2 )
ADR_BASE_LISTENER_RMSPRD2 = /opt/oracle
ENABLE_GLOBAL_DYNAMIC_ENDPOINT_LISTENER_RMSPRD2=ON # Section added by Sandeep
SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_LISTENER_RMSPRD2=OFF
ADMIN_RESTRICTIONS_LISTENER_RMSPRD2=ON
tnsnames.ora ( http://francispaulraj.wordpress.com/ora-12528-tnslistener-all-appropriate-instances-are-blocking-new-connections/ )
RMSPRD2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = kirkjerpdb01.kirklands.com)(PORT = 1522))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = rmsprd2)
(UR = A)
5) Build a passwordfile ( I just copied and renamed it )
6) Edit /etc/oratab to add database entry for rmsprd2
7) Set the environment for rmsprd2
. oraenv
rmsprd2
8) Startup nomount of rmsprd2
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup nomount pfile=/opt/oracle/admin/rmsprd2/pfile/initrmsprd2.ora
9) Create spfile from pfile='/opt/oracle/admin/rmsprd2/pfile/initrmsprd2.ora';
10) shutdown and startup rmsprd2 with spfile
SQL> shutdown abort;
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup nomount;
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 1068937216 bytes
Fixed Size 2213632 bytes
Variable Size 788531456 bytes
Database Buffers 268435456 bytes
Redo Buffers 9756672 bytes
11) We are now ready for duplication from rmsprd1 ( source ) to rmsprd2 ( destination ) both using +ASM standalone asm instance. set the environment to rmsprd1and fire away.
Please note that the duplicate script is only connecting to auxilary database ( rmsprd2 ) and using the backup location for the duplication.
I used a unix shell script -rman_duplicate_from_backup.ksh. The contents are given below :
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman auxiliary sys/prd123@rmsprd2 log=rman_duplicate_from_backup.log << EOF
run
allocate auxiliary channel d1 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel d2 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel d3 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel d4 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel d5 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel d6 device type disk;
DUPLICATE DATABASE TO rmsprd2
BACKUP LOCATION '/dbaadm/sandeep_rman_refresh';
EOF
12) Voila - the rmsprd1 to rmsprd2 is done.....
Hope this helps somebody else wanting to do the same excercize. Have Fun.....
regards
Sandeep

FIM 2010 CM and FIM CM 2010 R2 in the same Domain and connecting to the same PKI

Hi,
I have a requirement to upgrade my FIM CM setup from FIM 2010 to FIM 2010 R2 SP1. I am not looking for an in place upgrade, instead I would like to have a new parallel setup (new FIM 2010 R2 servers, new SQL 2012 servers), connecting to the same AD and PKI.
Thank You.

Hi JPM
Yes, you can do a parallel setup, but keep the following things in mind:
1) Do you plan to manage the existing certificates, if so, then you need to make a cut-off and migrate the FIMCM database to the new SQL server. If you keep two instances, you will have certs that cannot be managed in each.
2) You will need to migrate the clmKRAgent, clmAgent, and clmEnrollagent certs to the new FIM CM server
3) You should use the same SCP (to maintain permissions)
4) I would migrate any changes in web.config to the new server
I would not use the previous FIM CM setup after the migration is complete. Keep it for roll back during the upgrade. but do not allow connectivity afterwards

BI and ECC 6.0 installation in the same server

Hello SAP Experts,
I am given a task of installing BI 7.0 and ECC 6.0 in the same server. Can someone suggest me of what are all the Do's and Don'ts in this scenario and what is the hardware requirements.
Thanks & Regards
Vanitha

Hi,
For installing BI, you have to install Netweaver.
You already have ECC 6.0 in the System.
As a part of BI system, you will be extracting data from ECC Ssytem and loading in BW System.
Hence if your requireement is like data is loaed in the the BW System every one hour, it will slow down the ECC System.
In future you may need to do some OS patch update, database patch update which is not required in ECC, but it will effect both systems
I have not seen any scenario where OLTP and OLAP System are in the same box
But if you are just doing for learning purpose and you are doing it in your sand box , that should be fine

Can BO 5.1.8 and BOXI R2 be installed on the same server?

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if BO 5.1.6 and BOXI R2 can be installed on the same server, provided that the hardware is sized to cope with both environments?

Fernando,
Business Objects does not recommend that two different versions of our software be installed on the same server.
Thanks,

How do I install two instances on the same Server and avoid a conflict?

Hi,
I have one Server and I want to install two instances of SQL Server on it.
1. Will be a default instance.
2. Will be a named instance.
The Server has an IP address of 192.168.0.10 and the default instance will be using port 1433.
I want them to share the same address, but be listening on different ports.
Do I,
1. Go into TCP/IP of the named instance and set the port numbers for all the IP's to a port number, e.g. 1976?
2. Delete the 0 from the dynamic ports sections?
3. Create an open port rule in the Windows Firewall to allow access to the Server?
Thanks

Please see following Microsoft link

How to have concurrent CSV upload and manual edit in APEX on the same table

Hi there,
my users want to have csv upload and manual edit on apex pages functions together...
it means they want to insert the data by csv upload and also have interactive report and form on the same table...
so if user A changes something in csv file...then user B update or delete another record from apex fronted (manually in the apex form)...then after that user A wants to upload the csv file,the record was changed by user B would be overwritten ...
So how can I prevent it?????

Hi Huzaifa,
Thanks for the reply...
I'm going to use File Browser so that end users can upload the files themselves...
after editing data by users...a manger going to review it and in case of approval , i need to insert the data to one final table....
so it needs much effort to check two source tables and in case of difference between table of csv and other one...what to do...

Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory Domain Services and Remote Desktop services Role on the same server.

Findings:
Currently, Windows 2012 R2 AD DS role and RDS With Broker services can only seem to coexist properly in a new domain not an existing domain. Any attempt to add to an existing domain causes internal database user access denied issues and any attempt to
adjust rights and circumvent is dubious at best.
The escalation technician said it best. Out of 50 clients that want to do this, they end up not being able to help 5 right off the bat for whatever reason. As for the other 40 they might be able to help by running reports, adjusting rights and trying to add
the roles until it works. This can end up being a 20 day process. Basically they are playing whack-a-mole with user rights and permissions until something sticks.
We tried creating an OU where any other domain policies would not be inherited to see if that was the issue, a fresh install with different sequence of adding the Roles, no effect.
Given the errors I witnessed when running procmon and then trying to add the roles, the NT System and the Windows Internal database user had access denied issues on 100+ registry keys when trying to add the roles. After that the system is not behaving normally.
The errors displayed almost mirror the errors that would occur on Windows 2012 when those two roles would be added which of course is officially NOT supported on that system.
This blog needs serious revision:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
This is the excerpt from that blog: Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller. In addition, we published
guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker.
Microsoft Support was curteous and helpful and they were the ones who advised cutting our losses, which mirrored my hunch after seeing what was transpiring in the system. They refunded my money for the support call.
For me, it was an opportunity to find out if there was any way to configure Windows 2012 R2 in the Same manner that it was setup as Windows 2008 R2 and lay that to rest. The coexistence is poorly implemented. It is as if there was a reaction from all the deprecation
of bread and butter features such as shadowing in TS and the coexistence of AD DS and RDS to where those features were re-added haphazardly. (I have no complaints on shadowing on Windows 2012 R2 it works, just do not like having to go to server manager to
use it).
I opted for virtualizing the Domain controller to eliminate the incompatibility issues and that is what I will be doing from now on. I found free solutions for backing up and reporting for virtual machines as well as the suggested procedures for configruing
a Domain controller as a virtual machine on a Hyper-V environment and I will be sticking to those. Thus far the setup has been operational.
I am not allergic to virtualization, but for really small setups it adds additional time and considerations but if that is how it has to be done, so be it. Windows 2008 R2 days are numbered and since we can usually squeeze 5-7 years on quality server equipment,
buying a Windows 2008 R2 setup now is a borderline disservice in my opinion.
Hopefully someone finds this useful and saves some time.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Do you need any other assistance?
Based on your description, you are describing your story of successfully implementing RDS server with AD role and more regarding all RDS related scenario. For shadowing feature, you can use with command also. Below is the syntax to shadow a session.
mstsc /v:<ServerName> /shadow:<SessionID>
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Is it possible to read and write to a file at the same time and display the results in a RichTextBox?

Hi All,
I have a purpose in winforms to have a "notepad like" editor that saves what ever i type to a file on the hard drive and reads from based.
So what i have is a tab with a richtextbox docked to fill. I would like to have that richtextbox read from a file on the hard drive, then save the changes i type when i either click off the tab or live if possible.
I wills state that i am fairly new to the c# game and if this is possible and someone could post an example that would be awesome and totally appreciated.
Thanks,
jAC

For those that are looking for the solution I went with here are the details
Reading the file:
// Wish List Section
wishListRichTextBox.ResetText();
string wlFolder = Application.StartupPath + "\\wishLists\\";
string wlPath = wlFolder + selectedProduct + ".rtf";
// Read from the text file and out put the results
try
{ // create directory if it does not exist
if (!Directory.Exists(wlFolder))
Directory.CreateDirectory(wlFolder);
} // create file if it does not exist
if (!File.Exists(wlPath))
File.Create(wlPath).Dispose();
var iStream = new FileStream(wlPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite);
var sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(iStream);
var readData = sr.ReadToEnd();
wishListRichTextBox.Text = readData;
sr.Close();
// If the read fails then output the error message in the same section
catch (Exception ex)
wishListRichTextBox.Text = "Error: " + ex.Message;
Writing the file:
private void wishlistTabChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
if(menuTabControl.SelectedTab != wishListTab){
if (productComboBox.SelectedIndex >= 0)
try
string wlFolder = Application.StartupPath + "\\wishLists\\";
string wlPath = wlFolder + productComboBox.SelectedItem + ".rtf";
var oStream = new FileStream(wlPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read);
oStream.SetLength(0);
var sw = new System.IO.StreamWriter(oStream);
sw.WriteLine(wishListRichTextBox.Text);
sw.Close();
catch (Exception ex)
MessageBox.Show("Wish list for " + productComboBox.Text + " save failed. \n\nError: " +
ex, "Wish List Save Failed", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
I mainly used Ammar.Zaied thought
process on this. Thanks to everyone though, as you all pointed me in the right direction

Can Crystal Reports, Explorer, and Dashboards co-exist happily on the same server?

Hi All,
We are currently using BO 4.1 SP2. We have two servers: the main borep server that hosts the BI platform, and a second server that only has Explorer on it just now. We want to install CRE and Dashboards on the Explorer server (on our DEV infrastructure) so we can play around with those tools.
Are there any know issues with this approach?
Thanks everyone!!

Thanks Dell, very useful indeed!
Are you sure there is no server component to CR4E? There is a certainly a Crystal application available within BI Launchpad. When I launch it, it pops open a window prompting me to download a crystal for enterprise file with the extension BCPL. Browsing this forum, it seems that you get this message if you've not installed C4E on the borep server.
So I'm not sure what the inbuilt Crystal app is for - only for viewing but not designing reports within Launchpad?
Any ideas?
Thanks again!
