Database cloning on windows environment

Hi all,
I have a production database on Windows environment, now management want to clone the database to another windows server and use it as production database. it is a small database and it is in archivelog mode. what are the easy ways to clone the database from one server to another. pls. suggest me links to clone the database.
db: oracle 10g R2 (10.2.0.1.0)
OS: windows 2003 server
thanks and regards,

Hi Kamran,
the reason for cloning the database to other server is virtualization of the production server. the database is temporarily placed in second server. so that no down time for the users.
thanksTo cloning suggestion way is using RMAN.Also you can use User Managed backup and Recovery option.You can perform below steps(your database actually running in archivelog mode and you can take user managed HOT backup)
1). Identify all datafiles from v$datafile.name column.
2) Connect SYS AS SYSDBA and execute ALTER DATABASE BEGIN BACKUP
3) Using OS copy command copy/transfer all data files to other place/server
4) And from sqlplus ALTER DATABASE END BACKUP.
5) ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE AS 'LoCATION' (like 'c:\cont.txt');
Then restore all datafiles(and archivelogs also) to new server and STARTUP NOMOUNT then execute above controlfile recreate script(c:\cont.txt) and execute through sqlplus RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL then apply all available archivelogs then finally ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.

Oracle Software Cloning in Windows environment.

I am trying to see if there is an option for cloning the database software (not the database) on to a new windows server, just like the one we can use on Linux/AIX servers and deploy OUI to configure oracle home and other stuff..

Pl post details of OS and database versions. I do not have an y personal experience with cloning on Windows, but have you checked MOS Doc 300062.1 (How To Clone An Existing RDBMS Installation Using OUI) /

Query regarding database access segregation using os authentication in windows environment

Hi ,
I have a query regarding database access segragation using os authentication (like sqlplus "/ as sysdba") in windows environment.Let me briefly explain my requirement:-
Suppose you have two DBA`s viz DBA1 and DBA2 and 4 databases resideds in a windows server say A,B,C & D.Now I want to set up such a way if DBA1 logs into the server then he can login to database A and B only using OS authentication and DBA2 can login to database C and D only using OS authentication.
Please let me know how to do setup for this requirement.
Database version is 11.2.0.3

1494629, I am not a Windows person but if there is any way to do this I suspect some additional information is necessary:
Are the DBA users members of the Administrators Group ?
Do all 4 database share the same $ORACLE_HOME ?
I suspect if either answer above is yes then this is not possible, but like I said I am not a Windows person. I would just ask for two servers and the associated licensing to be acquired. The requirement to spend money to do something management wants usually elimanates the request in my world.

How to setup database user for windows NT SSO

Hi,
We have a scenario where we have to setup a database user so that SSO can be worked in windows environment.
We have oracle 10g installed on UNIX server. Now we want to setup a autosys user which will also be a winows user for eg by the name kumaral and domain (which is Logon option in windows) will be FM, so eventually user name will be FM\kumaral. Autosys will be on windows machine and we have installed oracle client on this machine.
On oracle database we have created two user by following syntax:
(1) CREATE USER "OPS$FM\KUMARAL" IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
(2) CREATE USER "OPS$FM\kumaral" IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
Also we have provided connect grant to these users.
GRANT CONNECT TO "OPS$FM\KUMARAL".
GRANT CONNECT TO "OPS$FM\kumaral".
I am login in windows through FM\kumaral user, but we are not able to connect to oracle through this user, we are trying to connect to oracle from below mentioned query:
sqlplus /
but we are not able to connect.
Can someone please help me on this?
Thanks in Advance.

Need to migrate DI 11.5.1.2.0 of windows environment to DI 11.7.2.0 fo Linux environment

Hey any one please give me steps to follow, for magrating DI 11.5.1.2.0 of windows environment to DI 11.7.2.0 fo Linux environment.
Very Thank full to you all.. in Advance

Hi Simon;
I Have looked throught these notes but I still cant see a definitive answer to whether the new Windows server will require a fresh 11.5.10 install before I can clone my existing system?No its not. If You follow below note you will see it doesnt mention something like you ask
Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i with Rapid Clone [ID 230672.1]
Your steps should be like:
1. Section 1: Prerequisites apply related patch your source (Dont forget Check Appendix A: Install JRE 1.3.1 into RDBMS ORACLE_HOME)
2. Section 2: Run preclone on source
3. Copy file from source to target
4. run postclone
5.restart machine
if not how is the registery values and services created?Rapidclone handle it

How to install 'SOABPEL' schema on Release 10g R2 on Windows environment

Hi,
I have just completed installation of Oracle 10g R2 (10.2.0.3) database on windows vista environment. the database has been successfully installed and i am able to connect it from the sql plus. BUT my purpose to install database is to do Advanced installation of SOA. For that i need to have few schemas like 'SOABPEL' already created in the database. Following is the problem i am facing while installing the schema in the database -
The schema files resides in soa_windows_x86_101310_disk1\install\soa_schemas\irca folder. As per the installation pdf, i need to run the irca.sh shell script to install the 'SOABPEL', 'SOAESB' and 'SOAOWSM' schemas. but i am not sure how do i run this shell script from the windows environment? I don't think i can use unix prompt for this? Please guide.
Thanks

Anuj, when i try to run the batch file, i am getting following error. i guess this is oracle_home problem. i checked it in the environment variables, and it was blank. so i have set it up now and pointing to ojdbc14.jar file. but i am still getting the same error. do i need restart my pc? or do you have some other way to track it down?
The error is-
ERROR: Cannot find library - \jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar
Please verify that the ORACLE_HOME is set correctly.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Run 6i form in a telnet session on a 32 bit Windows environment

Hi,
We have the following environment: 8.1.7 database, 9iDS Forms 6i (6.0.8.13.0) included. This is installed on 32 bit windows environment. We have wireless RF barcode scanners with TCP/IP connection. So they can connect to Unix box or a Windows telnet session. As we have Windows system we can connect this equipments to Windows through telnet session.
I heard and read in some topics that Forms 6i can run in character mode environment. But I didn't find any solution.
We would like to run forms as we can run svrmgrl for example on a telnet session.
My question is that it is possible to run 6i forms on charcater mode environment (telnet session) ? If so, what we need to do in the development or running phase (command line parameters for example).
Thanks in advance,
Attila

Forms 6i can run in Character mode in telnet - but this only applies to Unix ports of the product - they have an f60run executable as well as the Gui f60runm and the Web f60runw runtimes.
Windows only has GUI and Web versions.

Autosys job scheduler on windows environment ,can oracle support?

Hi,
Intially i am used dbms_scheduler to schedule pl/sql jobs that's working fine,But according to client standards
need to schedule pl/sql jobs using autosys to run on windows, Can Oracle 11g support autosys to schedule pl/sql
jobs run on windows environment(version 5), If so what package oracle package will be used ? How to schedule,
provide me some documentation please.
Thanks in Advance
Ganesh

Dbms_scheduler is a much much much more mature product than any thid party tool.
Also, why schedule PL/SQL outside the database (likely exposing passwords) when it can be done inside the database (without exposing password)
Please ask the client why they want by this 'requirement' to stick to obsolete technology.
They pay for dbms_scheduler, and they don't need autosys
(and yes, I consulted autosys documentation for free on your behalf)
Other than that: your request to provide autosys documentation in an Oracle forum must be judged inappriopriate and points to refusal to do your own research.

SQL Developer BRIDGE command from command line on Windows environment

Is it possible to call SQL Developer BRIDGE command from command line on Windows environment?

Hi <please supply your name>,
SQL Developer Worksheet is not available from the command line.
The BRIDGE command is only supported in the Worksheet.
Its an interesting idea though. Are you trying to script data move from a non Oracle database to an Oracle database using the BRIDGE command?
The BRIDGE command was initially done to allow a simple data move from a non Oracle database to Oracle. We then build the "Copy to Oracle" feature out of it.
http://dermotoneill.blogspot.com/2010/11/cross-database-bridge-statement.html
http://dermotoneill.blogspot.com/2010/11/copy-to-oracle.html
Since the BRIDGE command references connection names, which have to be defined in UI of SQL Developer any solution to run this on the command line would have to work this out.
There are number of ways you can do this without using the BRIDGE command.
1) Perform a capture/convert of your non Oracle database and then generate the "offline" data move scripts.
Theses scripts use SQL*Loader and your non Oracle database tool (Ex: Sybase BCP).
These are run from the command line and can be modified ....
2) Use a database link from your Oracle database to your non Oracle database and reference /query the data that way.
I would interested to hear your thoughts.

Bursting control file for Printer not working in WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT

Hi,
We are trying to print xml publisher report output (PDF) using bursting control file. Is not wokring.
We are using ebs (R12.1.1) on Windows environment.
Any pre-requisite setup (ie. cups config) should be done before printing using control file. Please guide me i am not having knowledge in printer setup and printer part..
Thanks in advance

Hi Hussein,
Yes, I am able to print seed concurrent report (o/p -text) to that printer (method:- giving the printer name and copies by clicking " Option " in SRS window.. )
When i do the same for xml publisher publisher report to the same printer , its not working using bursting control file.
I too made the test in xml publisher report without bursting control file , there i faced another new issue. Let me explain
1. We are using RDF as data source . here o/p :-" XML "
2. We are using RTF as layout. In template definition, i chose the default o/p type as :- "HTML"
3. When i submit the request, i choose the printer which is working fine for printing seeded report. (method:- giving the printer name and copies by clicking " Option " in SRS window.. )
4. My printer getting prints HTML tag, instead of desired o/p. I wondered after seeing the printout.
5. I cross checked by clicking view output, its showing me the exact html output as per RTF layout.
Dont know wat happening ??? Help me out.
i did the same for changing default output type in template definition to RTF,PDF.. its printing source code of the output type instead of printing output.
Thanks & Regards,

How do I rename an XE database on a Windows 2003 Server?

Ok. I'm attempting to rename a freshly installed XE database on a Windows 2003 Server. It looks like there is no getting around the fact that the database gets named "XE" during installation. Because there could potentially be multiple installations of XE in my organization, I thought it'd be a good idea to disambiguate the installations by renaming them to match their function. In this particular case, I'd like to rename the database to "CTXMGMT". It will be a data repository for our Citrix farm administration programs.
Here is what I've performed thus far:
1. Installed Oracle 10g XE on one of our Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition machines.
2. Verified that the installation was performed correctly by making sure the 'Database Home Page' loads correctly through Internet Explorer, and by performing a few Select statements on the database (i.e. select name from v$database;)
* * I then began following instructions from this document (http://www.utexas.edu/its/unix/reference/oracledocs/v92/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch14.htm#1004735) to rename the database. Note: I'm only trying to change the name of the database, not the ID.
3. Shutdown the database
4. Opened the database in MOUNT mode
5. Ran the NID utility. Here's the actual input/output to/from the NID utility:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>nid target=sys/manager@xe DBNAME=CTXMGMT SETNAME=YES
DBNEWID: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Jul 10 15:55:10 2006
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to database XE (DBID=2476560070)
Connected to server version 10.2.0
Control Files in database:
C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF
Change database name of database XE to CTXMGMT? (Y/[N]) => Y
Proceeding with operation
Changing database name from XE to CTXMGMT

Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP.DBF - wrote new name
Control File C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF - wrote new name
Instance shut down
Database name changed to CTXMGMT.
Modify parameter file and generate a new password file before restarting.
Succesfully changed database name.
DBNEWID - Completed succesfully.
6. After running the NID utility from a separate DOS Window, I attempt to shutdown the newly renamed database from the first DOS Window I used in steps 3 & 4 from above (i.e. to shutdown the database and then start it in MOUNT mode) but I receive this error:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
This is somewhat expected since the SQL*Plus connection in this window probably had "the bottom pulled out from under it" when the database was renamed.
However at this point I'm unsure about what state the database is in. Is it down? Is it up? Logic would sort of dictate that the database was left in the MOUNT state, which is the state it was in when the database name was changed. However, the only way I'm able to get back in to the database is by doing the following
a. Opened a new DOS window
b. entered "set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server"
c. entered "set ORACLE_SID=XE"
d. entered " sqlplus "/ as sysdba" "
e. at SQL> prompt, entered "startup"... which produces:
SQL> startup;
ORACLE instance started.

Database Buffers 188743680 bytes
Redo Buffers 2904064 bytes
ORA-01103: database name 'CTXMGMT' in control file is not 'XE'
SQL>
From here I don't know what to do. According to the ORA-01103 error message, it looks like I need to change the database name in the control file to "CTXMGMT", but I'm not sure how I should go about that. The control file is a binary file, so I can't just open it up with Notepad and type in a new database name.
I suspect that even once that is done that the listener.ora (and maybe the tnsnames.ora file?) will have to be edited to include the new "CTXMGMT" name, but I'm not sure how exactly those files should look to incorporate the new database name.
Also, would the names of services have to be changed in Windows as well? (i.e. Would the Windows service named "OracleServiceXE" have to be renamed to "OracleServiceCTXMGMT" ?)
In short, I really just need to know how to rename an XE database on Windows appropriately. The steps described above represent as far as I've gotten. If I'm going about it incorrectly could someone shed some light on the correct steps to follow? The more detailed the better. Thanks.
- Gary

Okay, I've....
1) Reinstalled XE, to start from scratch
2) Went in to SQL*Plus, did a "create pfile from spfile;"
3) Shutdown the database
4) Started it up in MOUNT mode
5) Ran NID, to change the database name from 'XE' to 'CTXMGMT'
6) Shutdown the database again
7) Edited the pfile to change the database name (i.e. "db_name='CTXMGMT'")
8) Started up the database
And that worked! So that's good... but now my question is:
How do I change the SID for the database? Currently, the instance name for the database is still 'XE'....
SQL> select instance_name
2 from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
xe
I'd like it so a connection could be made to the database with the tnsnames.ora file looking like this:
CTXMGMT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = rodin)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = CTXMGMT))
Could someone explain how to get the database to this state? Thanks.
