Database refresh from production to test -how to clean existing test env

All,
My environment is
Both Production and Test databases are in two node RAC environment
Oracle version - 10.2.0.4.0
OS - RHEL5
Production database size 80GB
We need to refresh the test environment from production database. Complete objects, data etc should be refreshed.
We have a datapump export from production environment. With this export dump from production environment, I need to import into test environment.
So far, I have imported with this kind of dump to the fresh database only.
Now, we have already objects, data sitting in the test environment. How to clean the existing test environment and refresh the production datapump export dump.
I thought of dropping all the tablespaces in test (other than system,sysaux, undo and temp). But not able to drop few tablespaces, it is telling that index is available in other tablespaces, dependency errors etc.
Which is the best method to clean the existing test database. Management is not interested in dropping the test database and recreating it.

I understand that you are Newbie , let give me simple steps.
Follow the steps on testing envi.
1. Drop only Application users that you want to refresh from Prod(Do NOT drop users system,sysaux.. or tablespaces)
2. Create the users that you dropped.
3. using import or import data pump import the data.
In case you want to import user"A" data to "B" use REMAP_SCHEMA option.
See the below link for data pump export/import with examples.

Database refresh from production to test database

Dear All,
i want to refresh data on test database using production database.Test and production database has same backend structure.
i am using following steps.Please correct if i am wrong any where.
1)Take Full export from producion database
2)DROP SCHEMA ON test database.SKIP schema like sys,system and other oracle schemas.
3)do full import on test database.
is this correct way to refresh the data on other enviornmet.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can do one correction here :
Instead of taking full export backup , take export of only those schemas which you want to refresh.
You can use datapump to make it faster.
For improving speed please check

Database Refresh From ASM Filesystem to Local Filesystem

Hi ALL,
I am performing a database refresh from production server to a demo server. Our Production database is 11.2.0.1 and it is using ASM filesystem to keep the data, redo and other files in ASM disks.
On the other hand demo server is not having ASM, all the database files are stored in a local filesytem.
I have taken a fresh backup of our production database, but I am not sure to perform the restore part as the demo server is not having ASM.
Can anyone suggest me how to perform this, I mean datafile restore from ASM to local filesystem.
Any usefull links will be helpful.
Regards,
Arijit

Hello,
You can restore the backup of your Production database which is using ASM to your demo server (using file system).
Make sure that the control_files parameter in the pfile/spfile is pointing to the file system location where you want to have contol files located on the demo server.
Next, before you use the restore command to restore the database, provide the location of the datafile where you need to restore using the "set newname" clause.
run
set newname for datafile 1 to '<file-system-location-on-demo-server>';
set newname for datafile 2 to '<file-system-location-on-demo-server>';
restore database;
switch datafile all;
recover database;
}

System refresh from Production to Quality

Hi,
We are going for system refresh from Production to Quality. We are at SAP NetWeaver 2004s with 700 release and at 0021 level. Our data base system is DB6 with the release 09.07.0000
I understand that there is a note 886102 available for the system copy. But I would like to know how that had been practically implemented from your ready documents like
1. What would be the BI consultant role during the refresh (I mean where do we involve at). I have seen many links related to this but nothing answer my question, so please don't give me links available.
2. How to identify tables that need to be copied and restored to retain the correct source systems for data/info sources.
3. What should be the BI consultant task before refresh?
4. What should be the BI consultant task post refresh?
5. What are issues faced post refresh in quality system.
I request, the consultant who had worked on these refresh can provide me correct solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Raj

Our prerefresh activities included
Inform security team to do no user or authorisation changes for quality during the refresh.
Set message in development to not release any transports anymore and set message in quality to inform users in quality not to manually import transports into quality and also not approve transports for production. This ensures no transports get moved to quality and production.
Switch off cyclic import all job (like TMS_0000000038TMS_TP_IMPORT) and the cyclic RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS job
Prepare list of transports for re-import to quality after refresh and give this to BASIS.
Post refresh activities included
Tcodes SM37, SM35 and SP01. Check that BASIS had set all released jobs to status "Susp/Released"
"All jobs are in 'Susp/Released' state. Set them all to 'Scheduled ' as follows:
- Run report BTCTRNS2 to change all to 'Released'.
- Immediately use SM37 to change all to 'Scheduled' "
IF ANY ARE NEEDED. Remember to change Exec Target in any job you need to release.
"Schedule RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS to run at x:29 and x:59 - so every 30 minutes.
Please schedule with DDIC as step user (and not your own user-id)."
Check the STMS_QA and import queues to be sure that the tranports are correct- no extra ones during refresh???
Once happy with the above request that Basis schedule the auto import to run every 30 minutes
First ensure that BDLS has finished and system is ready for use.

XELSYSADM account locked out repeatedly after a refresh from production

Hello,
We recently refreshed OIM in dev with OIM from production. I used the OIM web console to change the password for XELSYSADM in dev.
I am observing a repeated problem of user XELSYSADM exceeding the number of allowed attempts to login and the XELSYSADM is then locked out. I used SQLDeveloper to unlock the user. However, the same problem comes back.
What did I miss as part of the settings in DEV after the refresh from production?
Thanks
Khanh

I would suggest you check the logs to see when the issue happens and it might show you some other clue to why it's happeneing.

Insert into all tables on a Database on Test Server select from all tables on a database A from production server

hi Friends ,i need a suggestion from you on how to

The purpose of this insert is ,as we all know Production has the latest data and i need to push to test server on request for particular ID only ( may be weekly once or twice a week )
I have a linked server setup name "LINQ"
Example for one table is below , like wise i need a script which does for 154 tables.
Insert into ABC( id, name)---insert to test server
Select Id, name from LINQ.ProdSerevrname.databasename.ABC where id = 123

Problem with refresh from production

Hi,
I got restored files from production.
Now i have created a script for control file..
startup nomount
create controlfile set database "abc" resetlogs noarchivelog
when i am running this file in mount state it is showing error
that database name xyz in file header does not match with given name abc
Please suggest me solution.
Thanks

Hi,
As you are restoring datafile , i hope you are storing on same database structure means having controlfile of same database, etc on testing db or other . then only database will open . then try to rename the Database.....

Database refresh from db A to db B and changing the name from B to A

We have two databases A and B, both running on HP-UX environment on different servers. both of 10.2.0.1.0 version.
Now, database A is production with 75.5 GB of data. database B is just skeloton with no user tablespaces.
1.Our requirement is to refresh / clone database A to B. we are fine in recreating the database B like in case of cloning. but we want to avoid recreating database B as much possible.
2. After refresh/clone, database B should be renamed_ to database A.
Can you all please suggest the different methods available both by shutting down / without shutdown of database A and the approximate time taken on each cases.

Thanks Sanjay for your suggestion.
As per your case, we need to shutdown database A and delete the database B. We are trying to avoid this case as much as possible.
We are thinking of options like
export/import using datapump,
transportable tablespaces
restoring and recovering from backups
In the above scenarios, we no need to delete the database B and no need to shutdown database A.
Also, I need the approx time for each process and the method to rename the database?

Database refresh from Prod to UAT

Please check whether i have missed out any step in database refresh in 11.5.10.2
Step 1 preclone executed on source Instance
Step 2 copied all datafiles in backup mode to UAT instance
Step 3 controlfile create and opened db in resetlogs.
Step 4 adcfgclone.pl dbconfig <target context file>
Step 5 Autoconfig executed on both db aswell apps
Is it required to execute adcfgclone.pl dbTechstack and adcfgclone.pl appsTier
environment is apps 11.5.10.2
db 10g
os AIX 5.3

Hello,
You will need to run:
perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier [Database Target Context File]
perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier [Appltop Target Context File]
and other tasks as per Section 4: Advanced Cloning Options / 1. Refreshing a Target System

Hi,
When you copy files of standby server to another target server ? - Yesterday.
Is standby is SYNC with primary? or MRP is still running? - ---------yes, standby db is running fine .
Even you can open database with resetlogs after recreating controlfile, no need of recovery too -- >I was unable to open . So went to apply arch files.
Do you have archive of thread 1 is in sequence #57887, -- No , Because sequence 57887 yet generate. I have applied all recent available archive log files.

ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied quality system refresh from production

Dear All;
I am in the post activities of SAP system refresh.
I restored the system using brtools successfully as you can see below:
then I went with the rest of the steps based on sap recomendations, and reached to SAP sql queries:
CREATE USER "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM" DEFAULT TABLESPACE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
CREATE USER "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>" DEFAULT TABLESPACE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, SAPDBA TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM";
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, SAPDBA TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
CREATE TABLE "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER (USERID VARCHAR2(256), PASSWD VARCHAR2(256));
INSERT INTO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER VALUES ('SAPSR3', '<Password>');
CREATE SYNONYM "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>".SAPUSER FOR "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER;
CONNECT /
GRANT SELECT, UPDATE ON "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
CONNECT /as sysdba
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM";
I checked if all users are on opened state using select USERNAME,ACCOUNT_STATUS from dba_users;
The database is running file, and it is opened, but when I run R3trans -d it gives me RC 12 and i get this error:
*** ERROR => CONNECT failed with sql error '1017'
set_ocica() -> SQL error code 1017

OCIErrorGet -> SQL error code: 1017

***LOG BY2=>sql error 1017   performing CON
***LOG BY0=>ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
I used brconnect -u / -f chpass -o PSAPSR3 -p sap so i can reset the password, but still I am getting the same invalid username or password error.
I checked the listener status, and it is running.
Kindly let me know how I can fix my error

Unit Tester - How to Rollback After Test Runs?

Nevermind - I figured out my problem.
Edited by: user453545 on Jan 29, 2010 1:08 PM

- just so the answer is here if someone else looks at the thread ...
Common practice is to put the rollback in the tear down for the test.

How to view database values from server to client

hi friends
i have database in server side, i am storing values to the database from client side machine through remote methods. But now i need to view the database values from the server side. how to do this using RMI.
Plz give me suggestion.

Why do you have to use RMI for this task? That way you've got to write both a client and a server. Just use JDBC directly from the server.

Was this database migrated from dev or prod?

We have several environments (e.g., development, staging, test, training, production). When migrating a production database to a new version of SQL, we also migrate the related environments. Sometimes the developers want a refresh from production in
development. Sometimes they want the old development database. A question came up about the source of a development database - was it from dev or production?  If I'm lucky, the information I want is listed in the following query.
SELECT rh.[restore_date], rh.[destination_database_name], bs.server_name, bs.database_name
FROM [msdb].[dbo].[restorehistory] rh
LEFT JOIN [msdb].[dbo].[backupset] bs ON rh.backup_set_id = bs.backup_set_id
WHERE bs.server_name <> @@SERVERNAME OR rh.destination_database_name <> bs.database_name
If I'm not lucky, the history is no longer present. This is often the case because we don't keep a lot of history. Is there any other metadata that will help me identify where a database came from? Should I insure that the most recent
restore record for an existing db is not cleaned out, no matter how old it is?  Thanks.

I was hoping that the source would have been hidden in a system table some place - reliable and no extra work/politics. I think the answer is looking like, "The information is gone - it can't be done." Yes, a new business process
would certainly provide the information.  However, changing organizational behavior is not for the faint of heart.
I think it would be easier to update the history cleanup.  This would mean that I can't use msdb.dbo.sp_delete_history as it currently exists. It has very simple logic. I might create a version of my own that keeps the records I want.
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedbackdetail/view/967074/sp-delete-backuphistory-option-to-exclude-special-old-records
Not a bad idea. They could put a "keep" flag on the row and let you set it.
Or you can copy out the rows you like and maintain your own table with your own logic.
It would certainly be nice if every backup kept a record of its own source and wrote that to some read-only location in the restored database, but this does not seem to be the case. Maybe I should file a connect suggestion on that - only my perception
and experience with connect is to not waste my time, most suggestions are misunderstood and rejected out of hand.
But what I was suggesting about the business process contents is that it is already there - any dev source database has developer IDs in it that never occur in production, and production databases have only production IDs that you might see are newer than
anything currently in dev. So no change in business process would be required, just some knowledge of what's already there and a couple of queries to count some differentiating factors.
