Creating databases with dbca templates after upgrades and patches

I have a 10.2.0.1 base release Oracle Home. Over time it has been upgraded to 10.2.0.3 and quarterly security patches have been applied. Now I want to create a new database using a dbca (database configuration assistant) template.
During the 10.2.0.3 install did the templates also upgraded to include all the 10.2.0.3 stuff? Or are they still back at 10.2.0.1?
What about the quarterly CPU patches? Do they need to be applied to the new db after it is created?
Thanks,
Rob

I opened a Service Request. Here is the official answer from Oracle support.
QUESTION
=========
After applying the latest CPU(JAN2008CPU) I have created a new database using DBCA's seed template (General). Do I need to run the catcpu
.sql on the newly created database? Are the seed templates already updated with
the CPU?
ANSWER
=======
No, as these templates are not containing the Oracle binaries that is updated by the CPU.
Please let me know if you need further assistance regarding this issue and I will be glad to assist you further.
Otherwise please close this SR from MetaLink.
Thanks!
Greetings from Oracle,

RAC: ocfs-option disabled when trying to create database with dbca.

Hi everybody,
I have a really weird problem running dbca in my 2-node RAC installation on Red Hat ES.
The software version of both oracle clusterware and rdbms is 10.2.0.2.0, meaning the latest patchset has been applied.
I have installed and configured ocfs, and 4 different ocfs-partition are neatly presented to the operating system. I can save files and browse the ocfs file system, everything seems to be working fine.
Also, srvctl status nodeapps -n <nodename> shows that oracle clusterware is running nicely, all the components are up including the listener, which I used netca to configure.
However, when trying to create a cluster database using dbca, the option to use ocfs is not enabled, e.g it is "grayed out" in the Oracle Universal installer. So is raw devices option. The only option left is the ASM, which is selectable in the OUI.
In addition, I can indeed run scripts manually and create a single-instance database and use the ocfs-partitions for the datafiles, redo logs and archivelogs. No problems at all!
Do any of you guys have the slightest clue what can be causing this behaviour? Of course I have raised an issue with Oracle Support, but while waiting for an update, it doesn't hurt trying the forum.
I appreciate all suggestions, thanks for taking the time to read my posting.
Best Regards,
Vegard

You were right.

Thanks, problem solved.

Problem with SPAU Transports after Upgrade and after applying SAPKW70016

Dear All,
we copied old dev to new QA, upgraded new QA, then copied new QA to new DEV.
did the SPAU adjustments in DEV. At that time DEV SAP_BW version was SAPKW70015. After that we applied SAPKW70016. Now we're having problems with the SPAU transport because of the application of SAPKW70016.
Requested to kindly suggest ASAP.

When I try create Database with the template the DBCA does not do anything.

Can you check the alert log/ trace file if you can see any error message there ??

Problem when creating Database with Database, OS and hardware Configuraiton

Problem when creating Database:
There are two problems, which I faced during creation of database. When creating database with Oracle Database Assistant. One when creating pre tuned database from CD. And second when creating customized database giving options your self.
Problem # 1:
When creating pre tuned database from CD. The process of creating Database is 90 % complete and is at step # 3 Initializing Database. It gives error ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel.
I searched following oracle help for this problem.
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Cause: An unexpected end-of-file was processed on the communication channel. The problem could not be handled by the Net8, two-task software. This message could occur if the shadow two-task process associated with a Net8 connect has terminated abnormally, or if there is a physical failure of the interprocess communication vehicle, that is, the network or server machine went down.
Action: If this message occurs during a connection attempt, check the setup files for the appropriate Net8 driver and confirm Net8 software is correctly installed on the server. If the message occurs after a connection is well established, and the error is not due to a physical failure, check if a trace file was generated on the server at failure time. Existence of a trace file may suggest an Oracle internal error that requires the assistance of customer support.
Conclusion:
What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.
Problem # 2:
When creating database with custom option. The process of creating Database is 2 % complete and is at step # 2 Creating Database Files. It gives error ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure.
I searched following oracle help for this problem.
ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure
Cause: An error occurred during a data send.
Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.
Conclusion:
What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.
Software & Hardware Configuration are as follow:
Software:
Database
Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 (Oracle8i)
Operating System
Microsoft Windows 2000
5.00.2195
Service Pack 2
Hardware:

Command, Control, and Option keys no longer works with Citrix Receiver after upgrading to OSX 10.9.5

At first my keyboard did not work with Citrix Receiver after upgrading to OSX 10.9.5 and I found the workaround by using "cmd + tab," however, once my keyboard work within Citrix, the "command, control, and option" keys no longer work. Does anyone have a remedy for this?

ORA-27103, can not create a database with dbca 10gR2 in SL3

Hello,
I'm just trying to install Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) , Enterprise/Standard Edition for Linux x86 in Scientific Linux CERN Release 3.0.8 (SL) following the instructions
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gdb/install/linuxpreinst/linuxpreinst.htm
The installations goes right, but when I try to create a new database with dbca assistant I got the following errors while copying database files
ORA-27103: internal error
using the scripts:
startup nomount pfile="/u01/app/oracle/admin/samdb/scripts/init.ora";

Additional information: 101
Additional information: 134920812
I've checked the permissions but they seem ok, so I wonder if anyone could figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance

the error is dropped when there is an issue with the (db) block size, needs to be a multiple of the system page size, or when there is an issue with the heap allocation,
so please check init.ora/spfile parameters
maybe an strace -frt -s 512 gives a hint

Error while creating database using DBCA

Hi,
I installed Oracle10gR2 on my windows machine.Now am creating a database with dbca but just after i click the finish button it gives me the error -
Cannot create directory "F:\oracle\cfgtoollogs\dbca\ora10g" where F:\oracle is the directory where i have installed Oracle 10g and ora10g is the database name.
I have full permission on the folders.Can anyone please let me know what is the problem here.
Regards,
Somd

Hi OrionNet,
At last i could create the database successfully.But these are the issues I faced and am listing down the solution so that it can help others too.
1.I could not find the Administrative Tools-> Local security Policy --> Local Policies --> User Right Assignment in the Windows Vista Home Premium.I went and checked many blogs and forums on where is it located.It seems it is not included in the home premium and people are having a tough time working out the round abouts.
2.The problem was that my UAC (User Account Control) in the Windows Security Center was turned on which was not allowing me to create the database.I turned it off,and it created the db smoothly.
Thanks a lot for your help..I really appreciate it :)

Somd

10g: Clone database with DBCA silent option

Hello community,
I have tried now for several times to make a clone of my existing database with DBCA and "-silent" option. I could improve my progress in cloning but now I always stick in the following error:
But first, what I have done so far:
1. Created a clone template of my Database with command:
dbca -silent -createCloneTemplate -sourceSID DBORIGIN -templateName myTest.dbc -datafileJarLocation /tmp/oratest
2. Create the clone-database by using the template from (1.) with command:
dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName myTest.dbc -cloneTemplate -gdbname DBCLONE -sid DBCLONE -datafileJarLocation /tmp/oratest -datafileDestination /oradata -responseFile NO_VALUE -characterset AL32UTF8
Then the progress of execution is shown, it ends with a link to a log file. In this log file I can see the following contents:

I have no idea where the "<OMF_CONTROL_0>" comes from. It is nowhere included in my myTest.dbc-file. In my eyes, it looks like that DBCA tries to create the file exactly with this filename - and this fails on Solaris, sure...
Here is, what I have in my template file "myTest.dbc" regarding the control files:
=======================
<ControlfileAttributes id="Controlfile">
<maxDatafiles>100</maxDatafiles>
<maxLogfiles>16</maxLogfiles>
<maxLogMembers>3</maxLogMembers>
<maxLogHistory>1</maxLogHistory>

<image name="o1_mf_2k1zmdvo_.ctl" filepath="{ORACLE_BASE}/oradata/{DB_UNIQUE_NAME}/"/>
</ControlfileAttributes>
====================================
To be honest, it is the first time that i try to use the DBCA with all these "special" options, especially the silent mode.
Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong in my case described here? What do I or could I change to come to a success clone?
Maybe, you can tell me where I can find some kind of "how to" for creating a clone using the silent-option.
Thanks a lot in advance for helping a newbie! ;-)

Hello,
finally I was successful in installing the clone of my DB. :-)
You remember that I had problems with the control files and these looked very strange:
control_files=("/oradata/DBCLONE/<OMF_CONTROL_0>","/oradata/DBCLONE/<OMF_CONTROL_1>")
The hint to check the permission in "/oradata" was a good one. The permissions were right all the time, but Oracle's DBCA was not able to create the sub-directory "DBCLONE". When I created it manually before installing the clone, the installation worked fine!
I'm still wondering about this because all other subdirectories were created automatically during running "dbca" (e.g. all subdirectories "DBCLONE" needed below the $ORACLE_BASE/admin/-directory like adump,bdump and so on...).
And i'm wondering about the names of the control files:
I expected that these strange OMF-names would be replaced by a "normal" file name. But "dbca" was able to create the files exactly with the names "<OMF_CONTROL_0>" and "<OMF_CONTROL_0>"...
As I had understood so far from OMF-concept, isn't the idea that Oracle takes care of file-naming instead of myself? I mean it can't be that I have to enter the template for DBCA and manually enter the control files names...
I'm still close to the thought that it be a bug that isn't documented until now. Maybe, when I have some time left I will open a service request at metalink.
If you are interested in this I will keep you informed on this topic. The other way round I stay interested in your opions and hints for using "dbca" to make and install a DB-clone.
Thanks again for you effort to help me as a rookie in Oracle. :-)

Problem with Java Script after upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI7

Dear Colleagues,
We're facing the issue with Java Script after upgrade of BW 3.5 to BI7.
Just after update we checked the basic functionality and it occured that some of web templates that use Java Script don't work. They generate seelction screen, but after selection the screen becomes blank without any error messages.
We're currently stucked since web templates weren't converted to BI7 version so they should work exactly as before the upgrade.
We compared the Java code with other environment that was not upgraded - it's perfectly the same.
The only explanation that comes to my mind is that some Java Script settings on the server level were changed during the upgrade but I have no idea where I can check that.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Andrzej Bobula

Hi Deepu,
Thanks, it was great to read your reply and then few minutes later talk to you live on SDN Day!
Unfortunately, http cache clean-up did not help. But there is another funny thing I found - for exactly the same 3.5 webtemplate html code returned from WebAS 3.5 was different then from 7.0.
Unfortunately, this editor does not allow to paste complete code, even in CODE brackets, but here are main differences:
<b>3.5</b>
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
<frame src="/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=1&REQUEST_NO=1&CMD=GET_TEMPLATE"
name="Content">
and
<b>7.0</b>
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet Explorer")!=-1)
<frame src="/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=8&REQUEST_NO=0&CMD=GET_TEMPLATE"
name="Content" 0nLoad="javascript:loadTitle()">
(I intentionaly put 0 i/o o in 0nLoad, otherwise Forum's editor does not accept the text.
How about SAP's claim that technical upgrade from 3.x to 7.0 changes nothing?

Vitaliy

How to create database with ASM

HI
How to create database with ASM?
I install vmware workstation on window XP .On virtual machine install Linux 5 enterprise (Oracle) install.
I install oracle DB software only. Also make 3 disk for ASM .
1 -- When I want to install oracle DB with ASM . In this process candidate disks not show . Why?
How I can see disks ..
so I simple install oracle DB software only.
2 -- Now I want to create database with ASM by DBCA .
What process I will follow ?
Please guide me
Thanks

Hi
Steps to create database with ASM.
1.Install oracle binary with active CRS(For single node installation CRS is activated when you run root.sh) .
2.Create disk without file ssytem.
3.Assign disk to raw .
4.Change owner and permission to raw devices.
5.Configure ASM manually or USing DBCA.
Manually ASM Configuration.
a.Create initialization parameter file and password file.
b.Mandatory parameter is "instance_type=asm" as per your need configure rest of parameter like db_cache_size,large_pool_size,processes,remote_login_passwordfile,shared_pool_size etc..
c.To discover disk configure "asm_diskstring=/dev/raw/raw*"
Using DBCA to configure ASM.
1.In storage type section choose ASM.It will ask for password of sysdba in 10g.
2.ASM configuration window will open -> here it create disk group -> it shows all available ASM candidate disk automatical -> choose normal redundancy,external redundancy or high redundancy.
ASM disk also can be conbfigured with ASMLIB .
If ASM disk is configured you can start asm instance in nomount state and query to v$asm_disk to see all candidate disk.V$asm_disk only shows disk which is configured in asm_diskstrings.
Hope this will help U,
Tinku

Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

Trouble with Canon 2020Adv after upgrade to Maverick

Hi
We've just upgraded to Maverick and our office Canon 2020Adv no longer even acknowledged print jobs sent to it from the Mac. I followed the comments in earlier posts re problems with Canons post Maverick upgrade and downloaded and installed the new driver. Now I can get the printer to acknowledge that a doc is being sent but it either printer gobbledygook (sorry don't know a better word for it...) from Word or takes forever "processing" and never actually prints anything from Safari....
Any suggestions??
Thanks

Two possible causes for the issue you are having.
1. You are using the Postscript printer driver but your iR ADV C2020 does not have the optional Postscript printer kit. In that case, download and install the UFR 2 v10.3.0 driver
http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100491502.html
2. If you are using the UFR2 driver already, you may have created the print queue using the IPP protocol. The UFR2 driver does not support this. So remove the ADV C2020 from Printers & Scanners and add again, this time selecting HP Jetdirect-Socket for the protocol.

to access newly created db through sqlplus , i have
to update, /etc/oratab?Not necessarily. If you want to use e.g. scripts that reference oratab or if you want dbca to "see" the db, then yes. It depends.
and then export oraclehome,
base, path, sid and access it or do have to adjustYes you need to set up your environment based on the instance and its Oracle Home. See the Install Guide (post install) and/or Administrator's Guide.
my listener will automatically register this new db?No, well, not really. The instance (pmon) will automatically register with the listener.
