Creating a new database in a new Oracle home

Hi,
I'd like to add a new database using dbca, but I want it in a different Oracle Home to the other databases on the server. I notice that in the dbca I do not get an option to specify a new Oracle home. I assume it is because this tool is only for database creation and not instance creation. Do I therefore need to do a full Oracle install in order to create a second Oracle home?
Many thanks.
****Ignore this, I know what I'm doing now****

You need to better understand what an ORACLE_HOME is. An Oracle home has nothing to do with a Oracle database.
ORACLE_HOME defines the location of an installation of an Oracle software installation.
Where you decide to put a database is irrelevant to the location of an ORACLE_HOME.
One ORACLE_HOME can have zero, one, or many databases.
But you can not have an ORACLE_HOME without an installation of Oracle software.
The concept docs are at http://tahiti.oracle.com.

How can we clone the Oracle database in new Oracle Home

Hi,
I would like to clone oracle database into new oracle home. How can we set it using OEM.
I am using 10g grid control. Target db is on solaris
Thanks
Naveen

after logging into target database, under maintenance tab, data movement header; ther is "clone database" option. When you click on it; you'll see :
Clone Database uses RMAN to duplicate a database from:
-- An open database in ARCHIVELOG mode, or
-- An open database in NOARCHIVELOG mode (restart required), or
-- A saved working directory from previous cloning
Clone Database performs the following operations:
-- Backup each database file and store it in a working directory
-- Transfer each backup file from source to destination host
-- Restore each backup file to existing destination Oracle Home
-- Recover the cloned database with saved archived log files
-- Open the cloned database with resetlogs
It seems to be for cloning to a different host, but i guess you can chose the same host for source and destination. (I've never used cloning on em by the way :))
But firstly, you should create a new oracle home, you can simply copy your oracle home with a new name (cp -R /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0 /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.new) or make a new installation.
I suggest you to do this cloning with CLI. You should take a full backup with RMAN, copy the oracle home, create a new initNEWSID.ora file and nomount the database, restore (or simply copy) controlfiles, restore database (with set newname commands), recover database, open resetlogs.

Create a new oracle database from OCI or OCCI client

Hi,
How can we create a new oracle database from OCI or OCCI client?
i am using the oracle 11gR2
Thanks in Advance,
Sreekanth Polaka

Though I have not tried creating a database, try if its doable.
You can use OCI to perform SYSDBA operations.
So connect as OCI_SYSDBA and try executing the entire create database command.

Creating A New Oracle Database And Sql Developer

Hi,
I'm a newbie to Oracle and and a not so newbie to Sql Server and Visual Studio.
I am trying to learn Oracle on my local machine. I want to create a new Oracle Database and start learning from there.
I have downloaded sql developer, the data modeler, and the Oracle Client. Could someone please provide some guidance on how to create a Oracle Database?
From the responses, it appears that none of the items I mentioned actually creates a database. Sql Server provides a free download, also a developer version for a minimal fee. What specific Oracle product would be best to provide this type of service?
Thanks,
Mark

Edited by: user8948230 on Jan 7, 2010 9:50 AMIn addition to downloading and installing the database software to create a database, might I also suggest you start getting familiar with the documentation.
Learning where to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com. Drill down to your product and version.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
After you have familiarized yourself with what is available, read the "2-Day DBA" manual to help get you started.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Look in your alert log and find all the non-default initialization parms listed at instance startup. Then read up on each one of them in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

How to create a new Oracle OSB project automaticaly with script without IDE

Hello,
I want to create automatically an "Oracle service bus project" and an "Oracle service bus configuration project" with scripts (ANT or Maven or ...) without using IDE, without using workshop or Eclipse. I want to create automatically (ANT or Maven) just a skeleton of an OSB project witch i can use after in workshop.
I want to create 1 "Oracle service bus configuration project" with many "Oracle service bus project" automatically (ANT or Maven or scripts) witch i can use after in workshop. How to create a new Oracle OSB project automaticaly with script without IDE ? How can i do this ?
I'm using Oracle service bus 10.3.1
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your response,
I do not want to just create the services (proxy services and business services) but I want to create a template for 40 OSB project with the same scripts ANT/Maven.
Template="Oracle service bus configuration project" + "Oracle service bus project" + services of 40 OSB projects
The goal is that I have more than 40 projects to create and just the name of the projects that changes (when I say the name of the project ie the name of the OSB project, the name of proxy services and the name of business services ).
So I want to give my script (ANT/Maven) the name of 40 OSB project and the script must generate the skeleton of the 40 projects at once time and after generation of skeleton of the 40 project, I will import them in the workshop to add manually mapping and routing and other things that differs from one project to another.
So i want to generate automatically a skeletons of 40 OSB projects using a script (ANT / Maven) and I give to the script juste the names of the 40 projects.
I want to create a "Oracle service bus configuration project" and "Oracle service bus project" automatically of 40 OSB projects (ANT or Maven or scripts) witch i can use after in workshop.
I want to create one 'template' of all 40 projects in the same time, with the same directory structure (Transforlation, Business services, proxy services, WSDL .....) and all 40 project have the same transport, just the names of projects and services witch changes and i can give to the script all names of projects and services and i can give also all WSDL.

Steps to create a new Oracle Application server

I am in unfamiliar territory and need to create a new Oracle Application Server. I would appreciate any direction or direction to documentation that explains the steps required to establish a new server. Thanks.

William,
Have you looked at the Portal section on OTN? We recently added a whole bunch of information under the documentation section.
It can be found by clicking on Internet Servers under the Products heading on the left hand navigation bar. That page will have a section for Oracle9i Application Server and under that you will see Related Features & Products where there is a link to Portal.

New Oracle Home

Hi,
During installing Oracle Software, i got some error and aborted midway.
Again, when i restart, the system check fails with below error.
I don't want to choose a new home. I want to reused the same home given during the failed installation.
I guess it is reading from the inventory. But, since i have CRS installed and have common inventory, i dont want to delete the inventory.
How can i tackle this prolem ?
Checking for Oracle Home incompatibilities ....
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: Oracle Database 10g Release 2 can only be installed in a new Oracle Home
Recommendation: Choose a new Oracle Home for installing this product.
========================================================

I am assuming that you are pointing the new Oracle_home for Oracle10gR2 to a different location than your CRS. Try using the DEINSTALL option of the Installer to clean up the failed install and retry your install. Make sure you select the failed Oracle_home to deinstall.
Thanks

Creating a new Oracle Database using 10G Grid Control

Hi
Is it possible to create a new database using the 10g Grid COntrol.

The way to create a database with EM, is by using Provisioning procedures. For instance with the Oracle Clusterware / RAC Provisioning For UNIX, you can provisioning Clusterware, ASM + ASM instance creation and DB Software. Then by provisoning you would create a database. There are also procedures to extend a cluster.
So, provisoning is the way to go!

Creating a NEW Oracle APPS EUL , How to get Oracle BI Objects in new brand

Hi there
We upgraded Oracle Discoverer 4i to Discoverer 10g and during the upgrade process DBA upgrade the EUL5 in the same schema.
Now That schema is corrupt.
I have to create a new Brand EUL for Oracle APPS Business Intelligence Views 11.5.10.2.
What steps I can follow.
1)     DROP the existing schema at Database.
2)     Using Discoverer Admin login through SYSTEM Account
3)     Create the APPS EUL
4)     Now What to do to get the Business Intelligence APPS Views in my new APPS EUL?
Is there any process I need to run to get Business Intelligence Views.
Thanks
JOJI

JOJI,
It is a "non-destructive" upgrade/migration. This is why you have the EUL4 and EUL5 objects in the schema. This allows you to migrate your users in a controlled fashion if desired as it keeps the Discoverer 4i EUL intact.
What Jose, is describing is that you can drop the EUL5 objects (via the 10g Administrator -drop the EUL or manually) and then perform the upgrade again.
If you do decide to create a new 10g (eul5) EUL, then the following MetaLink Note describes how to import the Business Intelligence Business Areas and Generate the Business Views.
Note 316463.1     Using Discoverer 10.1.2 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i
I hope that helps,
Regards,
Steve.

Forms installation problem - how do I create a new default Oracle home?

I am new to Oracle so please forgive my utter ignorance. My impression of Oracle because of how an installation
has to be done is taking a nosedive. I thought Microsoft was bad with all the re-booting but the explanation that I
read in Anubhav Seth's post about installing Dev 6i before 8i and the suggestion (not a requirement) to format the
harddisk and reinstall Windows just leaves me with my jaw hanging open. I'm having a little trouble swallowing that
one.
Here's my situation... I'm running 8i at home and I am using it for the Oracle courses that I am taking at a local
university. So 8i with its SQL*Plus has been all I have needed to date. Now we have a project to do that involves forms.
So I go to the OTN page for downloads and downloaded file 6irel2nt.exe which is 264 MB in size. This file, I assume,
has forms in it -- what else I don't know because things are not explained all that well on the web site or I don't know
where to look (which implies poor organization of the web pages).
I run the 6irel2nt.exe file and end up with 11,128 new files on my computer. That's nice. I run the setup file and a step or
two into it it complains that my 'Ora81' home is already being used and that I need to install it into another Oracle Home.
Now I'm trying to find out how I create another Oracle Home. I perform a search in GOOGLE on "creat default Oracle
home" and basically get nowhere. My $50+ "Oracle 8i A Beginner's Guide" from Oracle Press mentions Oracle Home
on one page (pg. 170) but is completely useless in this case. My $184 worth of Oracle University manuals (which
are really PowerPoint slides) is useless too. My next step will be to comb through the FAQs. All this because I cannot
believe that I have to totally uninstall one product to get another to install and then reinstall the first one. That is INSANE!
If I have gone way off track please feel free to blast me but if this is true then all I can say is that the folks at Oracle need
a lesson in KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)! Computers and computer software are supposed to make our lives simpler
not complicate the holy hell out of them. I'll get off my soapbox now. Sorry about the whining.

I ended up uninstalling 8i and then I installed Dev 6i (Forms) and then I reinstalled 8i. I had some problems
installing Dev 6i because of this error "path.vrf(86): Unbound variable 'path_too_long_prompt'". Right after this error
appears I get a dialog that states, "The Oracle Installer cannot update the system path variable to %new_path%
because it is too long. Please restrict your system path to 127 characters and make sure D:\Oracle\OraWin95\bin
is included in your path."
The path D:\Oracle\OraWin95 was what I set up for this installation.
What I did to work around this problem was this...
(1) Go to Start - Accessories - System Tools - System Information.
(2) Click on the Tools menu
(3) Select System Configuration Utility
(4) Select the Autoexec.bat tab
(5) I added D:\Oracle\OraWin95\bin to my PATH variable and unchecked the checkbox next to one of the several
lines that I have that build my PATH variable. (I have several PATH lines that simply add a path to the system
variable %path%). After the installation is complete you can go back and turn back on the paths that you had disabled.
After installing 8i I did have a problem connecting to the database. I got this error:
Error: ORA-01034 Oracle not available
I believe this happened because I had forgotten to turn back on some of my PATH information that I mentioned
earlier. After checking one of my PATH variables and rebooting, this problem disappeared.
When reinstalling 8i and when the installation asks for an SID and you enter the SID you had used in the original
installation you may get a notice that says the SID already exists. I think this happens because the uninstall does not
clean up the registry totally, so I entered a different one. Later on, after the installation has been completed and you
are connecting to your database, you will be prompted to select an SID -- just make sure that you select the SID from
the latest installation.
I should've mentioned first that in preparing for this whole ridiculous exercise I created a directory under my Oracle
directory that I was going to use as the new 'Oracle home.' So I guess that's all one has to do to create a new Oracle
home -- just have another directory ready to install 'stuff' into.
All in all, this a pretty asinine exercise. Oracle really needs to fix this mess. I honestly thought Microsoft was bad but
this takes the cake. I wonder if SQL Server is this screwed up.

Installation on Multiple Oracle Homes

Hi all,
I received the CD with the EAP Developer 6.0 and I want to
install it in a machine with NT 4.0 (SP 4) and Oracle Enterprise
8.0.4. The problem is: What I have to do to create a new Oracle
Home?
Thanks in advance,

Hai.......
Make one extra directory for Oracle with different home and path
where your application rests. To this directory refer the new
home, ini, tnsnames. So once the Oracle comes up it is imaterial
as to which home it is talking to. I suppose this way u can over
come your problem.

Create new oracle database with JAVA

Hi!
I would appreciated it if you could help me to solve a problem that i have.
I am trying to create a new oracle database by a JAVA 1.4.2 application. I am using the scripts that Oracle 10.g supplies during the creation of a new database from the server (Generate Database Creation Scripts) with the appropriate changes, generated by a java application. Unfortunately, i am unable to connect with the database and the listener. Is there any other way to create a new database by java and how can i solve my current problem with the oracle scripts?
Thank you.

A) To create a new schema, you need to be connected as a user that has create schema privilege, or as tyhe user who is to own the schema (remembering that the user has appropriate create privs, as seen in the GRANT command in the SQL Reference manual). Not an issue at all, I think, if you coordinate this with your DBA. Discussed very well in the Administrator's manual.
B) Alternately, you could create a complete copy of the schema, including all desired objects (tables, views, etc.) in a separate database and simply export the user and schema. Then simply invoke the OS-based import command (imp) to load that entire thing into the target database.
C) To create a new database, there are 3 simple steps ...
1) create the appropriate initialization parameter file
the init{sid}.ora file should be placed in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs or %ORACLE_HOME%\database directory. (I recommend you do not attempt to create the spfile.) Of critical interest will be setting the block size information, the control file parameters, and using the appropriate memory management parameters, based on the version of the software you will be using to create the database instance.
2) start an empty instance, pointing to the parameter file
This will be an OS specific call, and will require that you have the correct OS environment set up as well as access to the ORACLE_HOME which will provide the software that you will invoke. In *nix you will need to call the sqlplus command with sysdba provs and in Windows you will need to call oradim to initialize this as a service.
3) run the SQL create database command
You might want to use the dbca to create a template of the create database command, or look in the SQL Reference manual for the variations on the command. Of critical interest will be initializing the redo logs as well as the system, sysaux (if needed), temp and undo tablespaces after which you can set up the regular tablespaces, users and schemas. I highly recommend that you have redundant copies of the control files on separate drives.
You may want to review the online Concepts manual and the Adminstration Guide for some of the specifics to your needs, but I think I've covered the basics.
Remember that ideally you will only have one database instantiated on any given server as the memory and CPU overhead of each instance is significant.
Good luck.
