Database Cloning/Refresh to a Later Version & Datafile Compatibility

It would be great , if someone can clarify my query on DB Cloning.
I have a source database running on 9.2.0.5 Oracle version
My Target System has got 9.2.0.7 Oracle version.
This is what I want to do :
Trash the datafiles of the Target Database (9.2.0.7)
Copy the source database online backup(9.2.0.5) to the target system(9.2.0.7)
Create controlfile(from the trace generated at source) and perform a recovery to a specific point-in-time
Open the database with resetlogsI am unable to test this out, due to resource limitations.
As there is a difference in Oracle Versions of Source & Target systems, will there be any compatibility issues for the datafiles?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for the quick response.
Target system has already got a database running on 9.2.0.7
We will be trashing the target database files and then copy the Online backup of the Production system running on 9.2.0.5 to the target, then perform the PITR to the time specified by the business.
Production patch upgrade(to 9.2.0.7) will be done only after couple of months.
Re-installing Oracle software(9.2.0.5) & a patch upgrade at target is not feasbile in this environment.
So.. just wanted to find a work around for this.
In this case we will have to pre-pone the Production(source) Patch upgrade, so as to continue with the Refresh/Cloning activities to the other systems(of 9.2.0.7) in the landscape.
Thanks Justin.. Once again..

Database Cloning or Software Cloning

Hi,
Can anyone explain what is database cloning & software cloning available in oracle 10g ?
With Regards
Kccrga

In addition to the above replies.
Let's say you have a Production database (PROD) is running on Linux/Unix Server (AAA). Here you wanna clone your database and Oracle Home (Oracle Software Direcotries) from Server AAA to server BBB. Oracle Home cloning is nothing but software cloning.
Software Cloning: This can be done only once until and unless any Oracle Patch applied on it.
Database Cloning/Refresh: This needs to be done whenever the updated datais required in the test/developement databases from production.
Software Staging: This can be done once when we install Oracle Software. It means that we need to copy the Oracle Software CDs in one area on the server for the future installation of the same software.

Unable to refresh the schema of FIM MA.Getting an error in Event viewer ""the current version of database is not compatible with the one expected by Forefront Identity Manager service. The current version of database is : 1116. The expected version is :1"

Hi,
We have installed FIM MA with an account that have all the sufficient rights.It got created successfully and worked for Full Import and Full Sync. But, due to some version incompatabilities, we have installed a patch.PFB link for the patch.
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2969673/en-us
Now, we are trying to refresh the schema of FIM MA. While doing that we are facing an error "Failed to connect to database". The user account with which we are connecting has read and write permissions on DB.In the event viewer some errors are
logged like "the current version of database is not compatible with the one expected by Forefront Identity Manager service. The current version of database is : 1116. The expected version is :1122" with event ID 3. PFB images for more detailed
view.
Please advice how to fix the issue.
Thanks
Prasanthi.

Hello,
seems to me that you maybe only updated the syncengine but not portal/webservice.
I had that error once after an recovery from scratch and forgot one of the hotfixes to apply to all services.

What is the exact difference between Database Cloning and Database Refresh?

Hi,
Can anybody tel me the exact difference between Database Cloning and Database Refresh?
I Have some conflicts in these topics.
Thanks
Rajesh

Refresh is what it says, "refresh" . You have a main site which would always have the data being inserted into it. There would be another site which would remain some where else . This site needs to be refreshed with the primary site. So you need to do export from the primary, push it to the secondary site and done!

TARGET database is not compatible with this version of RMAN

I am trying to register a database (version 8.0.4) on my catalog database which is version 8.1.7.
I get the following error:
RMAN-06185: Recovery Manager incompatible with TARGET database: RMAN 8.0.4 to 8.0.4 required
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
RMAN-06429: TARGET database is not compatible with this version of RMAN
Does this mean that my RMAN database has to be 8.0.4 ?
What happens if my RMAN database is 8.0.4 and target is 8.1.7 ?
Thanks for any help,
Sameer

check RMAN compatibility matrix
Target/Auxiliary Database|| RMAN Executable|| Catalog Database ||Catalog Schema
8.0.3 8.0.3 >=8.x 8.0.3
8.0.4 8.0.4 >=8.x >= 8.0.4, see "Note 2: 8.1 or Later Catalog Schemas and 8.0 Target Databases"
8.0.5 8.0.5 >=8.x >= 8.0.5, see "Note 2: 8.1 or Later Catalog Schemas and 8.0 Target Databases"

8.1.7 8.1.x >=8.1.x >= RMAN executable
9.0.1 >=9.0.1 >=8.1.x >= RMAN executable
In other words to backup 8.0.4 version u need a separate schema in catalog database and which will be only used for 8.0.4

How do I upgrade from a 10.6.8 to a later version?

Trying to download apps from the App Store and keep getting the message that the app can't be installed on my system because Mac OS X version 10.7 or later is required. I have a 10.6.8. Doesn't an upgrade automatically get updated from Apple when I get the message on my Mac that updates are available? Do I download from the app store? There are so many choices - don't know which one to pick. I'm not a fully matured Apple yet - I'm just a bud and a lot of it looks like Greek to me.

Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty here.
http://roaringapps.com/
If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest version of Mavericks by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing OS X 10.9 Mavericks from the Mac App Store.

Hi Wendy Fu,
Thanks for your feed back. I could see Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll to add as reference to my project. Actually I can open generated rdlc in designer, at run time I get error. I could not make out where is the exact mistake out of three
options flashed.

May be I have to change these versions to 9 or 10.
First I will try adding Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll .
Once thanks for your reply.

How to restore photos with all albums and metadata to later version of iPhoto?

Hi everyone
I recently had a hard drive crash on my "vintage" 2006 intel iMac. Got the HD replaced but the support service I used was unable to retrieve any of my data off it. Luckily I had all files backed up in a cloud service.
The support service reloaded Snow Leopard onto my new HD but using their own disks, not mine.
I've downloaded my iPhoto Library folder with all photos etc from my backup service and have tried to simply drop it into my Pictures folder to get back everything I had: photos, albums, photo metadata (I'm thinking Ratings in particular).
However when I open iPhoto I'm getting the message "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photos using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto"
I'd appreciate any expert help before I continue. Does this suggest that the support service have loaded an older version of iPhoto than the one I previously had, or could it be the case that they in fact loaded a newer one?
What's my best course of action to fix this? I'm guessing that I could reload Snow Leopard from my own disks without running a disk erase and get back to the version of iPhoto that I used to edit these photos before the crash - does that make sense?
I am not at all technically literate and well appreciate I may be overlooking or misunderstanding something.
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks

6.0.6 is the latest version of iPhoto 6.
And no, unless you had iPhoto 08 or some later version already, upgrading will not fix the problem. It's a bogus message. If you did not open the Library with iPhoto 08 or later then the Library is corrupt.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Sample schemas, use of later version of ApEx

I am very glad to read of the expanded capacities in this new release.
1. Will it come with the sample schemas to which we are now accustomed (SCOTT,HR,OE,etc)?
2. If I iinstall a later version of ApEx have the same effects on the XE 11 admin UI as it does in XE 10?
3. Will it be available to BI/OLAP in this release?
thank you, David S.

You are asking about the new 11g XE beta right?

Where to download Developer/2000 later version

I am learning Oracle with David Lockman's book "Teach yourself
Oracle8 database development in 21 days". I have done database
before and know SQL. I have no problem understanding the book.
He uses Developer/2000 as the tool to access Oracle, which I
think is a product of the company Oracle. However I can not find
it in the Oracle.com website. Maybe they have changed the name
or I am at the wrong place. I would appreciate it very much if
any one can tell me to I can download a free version of
Developer/2000 of later version to learn.
Thank you.
David

Database cloning listner

how to create listner for the auxiliary instance in database cloning

One listener, with the default name of LISTENER, running from one oracle home, listening on a single port, will serve multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. It is an unnecessary complexity to try to have multiple listeners or to name the listener as if it belongs to a particular database or client. That would be like the telephone company building a separate switchboard for each customer.

A few weeks ago we update our 10.2.0.1 Oracle Database to 10.2.0.4 using 6810189 pacth set.
Now when we try to execute RMAN this is the output:
Recovery Manager : Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production on Jue Nov 20 12:20:57 2008
Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Recovery Manager incompatible with TARGET database: RMAN 8.0.4.0 to 10.2.0.4 needed
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
RMAN-06429: TARGET database is not compatible with this version of RMAN
(I translate the spanish message, maybe the words is not exactly the same in the english version)
As is shown in the output the RMAN version installed by the pacthset is higher than database version, is there a way to downgrade RMAN or to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

I'm pretty sure patchset 6810189 does not install RMAN executable 11g. I did several patchings to 10.2.0.4 and that never happened. Patching may sometimes leave components at a lower level than the patchset,but never the opposite is true. That would be definitely a bug. So you (or someone else) installed 11g software.

how its happening is there any where i have to change the path.
Regards,
johnJohn, you need to use the RMAN binary which is located in bin folder of Oracle Database (ie /u01/oracle/product/10.2/db1/bin). You shouldn't use "rman which comes with Oracle 11g client".
If you are using windows, run the following commands in command prompt and then copy/paste the output:
echo 5ORACLE_HOME%
echo %PATH%
If you are using unix, run the following commands in terminal and then copy/paste the output:
echo $ORACLE_HOME
echo $PATH

How to delete a photo album from iPhone using a new hard drive & a later version of iTunes

I'm using the same computer but with a new hard drive and a later version of iTunes. I previously loaded a photo folder from my PC to my iPhone, but I inadvertently did it twice, giving each folder a different name -- "Photo Library," and "Widget Photo Folder." Of course, I also have the "Camera Roll" folder on my iPhone. I now want to delete either the "Photo Library" or the "Widget Photo Folder" from my iPhone. On iTunes in the Photo tab, I don't have the option of deselecting the folder in my PC that I previously synced. Apparently, iTunes recognizes that the privious sync was not done with the new hard drive? How, then, do I remove one of the photo folders from the iPhone?

You CANNOT delete photo album. ALL pics synced to iphone are oin photo library. Those exact same photos, NOT duplicates, can be accessed from the individual albums.
This is how Apple handles photos.
Just as a song is in a playlist and in the library ( there is only one song, simply two ways to access it), photos are in the library and the same photos can be accessed from the album.
