Database refresh in different version

Oracle 11.2.0.1 and 11.2.0.3.
Can rman refresh database from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3?
In another words, my source database is 11.2.0.1, my target database is 11.2.0.3
I want to refresh target database from source database. Is it ok since version is different?
Appreciate any help.

Hello;
No is the short answer. To duplicate or restore the databases need to be the same version.
There is an upgrade method available, but I doubt you want to do that each time.
DUPLICATE considers 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the same operating system as belonging to the same platform.

Standby database on different version than prod.

Is it possible to have a standby database running on a different version of Oracle than the production database?
In this case I have production DB on the following version:
7.3.4
8.1.7.4.0
9.2.0.4.0
9.2.0.6.0
Would it be possible to run the a stand by DB in 10g?

From the docs posted previously, which you clearly didn't read
Oracle Data Guard is available only as a feature of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. It is not available with Oracle Database Standard Edition. This means the same release of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition must be installed on the primary database and all standby databases in a Data Guard configuration.
Rhetorical question: Now what would same release mean?

Primary and Standby Database on different versions

Dear Friends,
We have a situation now where we have successfully completed the oracle upgrade of primary database to 10.2.0.4
but could not proceed further with the physical standby database.
Can we have standby database in its current version (9.2.0.8) and its primary database on (10.2.0.4)
and will it apply the logs shipped from primary without any issues ?
Appreciate your earliest valuable responses.
Best Regards,
Viswanathan Subramanian

No, this is not supported.

Different database refreshing and cloning

looks like it almost same that is between database refreshing and cloning, anyone tell me?
thanks first.

Have a look at the following thread:

Database Refresh

Hi,
I have two databases on two different servers which are not physically connected. One database is having Oracle 9i version 9.0.1 on HP-UX and the other is having Oracle 8i version 8.1.6 also on HP-UX. The two databases are used by two different departments. Both the departments are transacting with their respective databases. The logical database structure of both the databases are different, but the purpose is same.
Now the problem is I have to refresh both the databases using the daily transactions in the other database. Also before refreshing I have to process the data to make it compatible with the database structure. Can any body suggest the best solution for the problem?

Hi
Your requirement will be filled up.
Solution
Create DB link and then you can talk to instance to instance and different hosts etc..
Hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards

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.

I'm with Ed and Brendan on this. 3 main reasons:
1. Legacy has some special requirements.
2. Definitely want different schema names, this has saved my bacon sooo many times. Even so, people still get it wrong (including me, and I'm totally paranoid about it to begin with).
3. There are many more copies of production than actual production, for various reasons (test, several dev, special projects, future app versions...) . We would rather have one db with many schemata than many db's, right?
Now if we could just rename user...Agreed some extent, I can say to refresh entire database the preferred method is RMAN restore, where it can manage very easily
how?
1) To import again we need to create a new database
2) Need to create all the tablespaces with same names or we can use REMAP option
3) need to monitor entire import process,
4) need to take care of other things like , temp utilization and all.
5) need to perform export, Need to copy those dumpfiles, We should have enough space on mount points of both source & destinations. ;-)
I would just caution there that you shouldn't think that because you are taking rman backups you have no need to also regularly export the db. A good backup policy includes both physical backup (rman) and logical backup of the data (export).
If you talk with couple of schemas the preferred method is EXPDP/IMPDP, totally agreed.
If in case of database size is huge, then better to go with RMAN to refresh database. Either DUPLICATE or manual way restore.
as ED said, still we could have chance to test RMAN backups too. Multiple advantages.
Let me know if I'm wrong. :)

Importing transports in different versions.

Dears,
I want to confirm that is it possible to perform transports in different version systems.Our requirement is to create the request from ECC5 and then import it in our Netweaver 04s server.
So first I want to know is it possible and second thing as i know for it i have to only manually copy cofile and datafile in target system and then by STMS add to buffer and then import,Is there anything else also i have to do like changing file permission.I am using windows 2003 server.
Please suggest.
Deepak

as u would be aware transport is done by r3 trans
different versions of R3trans are fully compatible with each other, because the data is transported in a standard format. Thus one can use different versions of R3trans for export and import.
Transports between different databases or operating systems are not a problem either.
When you transport between different SAP release levels, note that this usually does not present any technical problems due to the upward and downward compatibility of R3trans , but logical inconsistencies could occur in such transports
Further technical and logical problems for the various releases are outlined in notes 60928, 120151, 126776 and 330267.
hope this helps !

Migrate a database into a different SID

hi,
I need to migrate a 10g database into an 11gR2 on same Red Hat Linux platform (although different servers with different versions of Linux). The difference between the two databases however is the SID, the new one has a different SID which means that the datafiles will be named differently (as our datafile names include the SID) otherwise everything else is the same..
I propose to take the following steps:
- install 11gR2 on the new server
- create the 11gR2 database with new SID using DBCA
- full export 10g database
- full import dump file into 11gR2 database.
I however do not have experience of how this will work with respect to the full import where the datafiles are named differently. For example TABLESPACE TEST in the source database has datafile TEST_SOURCE.dbf but the same TABLESPACE TEST in the target database will have datafile TEST_TARGET.dbf
Will this work? Will all the data in the source database be correctly imported into the new database?
thanks

For example TABLESPACE TEST in the source database has datafile TEST_SOURCE.dbf but the same TABLESPACE TEST in the target database will have datafile >TEST_TARGET.dbfAre you going to create tablespace manually on target or you want it should be created by datapump.
- import work fine if tablespace name is same with different datafile however tablespace should be created manually on target before import.
- if you want datapump will create tablespace for you during full import then try REMAP_DATAFILE clause.
also check How to consolidate data files using data pump when migrating 10g to 11g?

Different plan for same SQL in different version of DB

Hello,
At client side i have upgraded database from 11.2.0.1.0 to 11.2.0.2.0 . and after that i am facing performance related issue.
is this happen because of up-gradation ?
for testing i have created two different version db (i.e 11.2.0.1.0 to 11.2.0.2.0 ) with same volume and same parameter. now i am executing same query then i am getting different plan.
please help me to resolve this issue..

Which issue? CBO is upgraded with every new release! So, yes, execution plans may change because of that.
And sensible DBA's first upgrade a test database.
Also no statement is to be seen.
Secondly, you can always set optimizer_features_enable to the lower release.
Finally, please look up 'upgradation' in an English dictionary. You won't find it!!!

What is the best way to save different versions of a project?

I am working on a documentary with hundreds of hours of footage. I've been told that to avoid file corruption, I need to regularly save different version of the project. I've done some research and there appears to be different ways to do this.
In Lisa Brenneis's FCP book, she suggests using "Save As" to protect one's work (renaming the old copy with a version number, and using the same name for the most updated version). This makes sense to me, since this would avoid FCP creating new capture folders every time I change the name of my project. However, I'm wondering if there is a difference between doing Brenneis' technique or duplicating the project.
Are there different schools of thoughts on this? Does anyone have a system that works for them that they recommend? I've done research and I can't find anything on this topic, other than issues with backing up (I'm working with several hard drives - but what I'm most concerned about is avoiding file corruption and making sure my media isn't all over the place).
Thanks for sharing!

Good topic!
I use the technique of popping over to Finder and using command-D
to make a copy every once in a while. Then at the end of the day,
I'll make a copy of the session to another disk. Whenever I've done
a lot of work that I never want to lose, I take a copy to another location.
If a backup is super-important, be sure to test it!
It only takes a minute to quit FCP, and double-click on the backup.
When I return to work the next day, after making sure my project opens,
I delete all the "copy" files, then make a new one and the process repeats.
When I output the edit for others to work on or approve, I will make
a special copy of the project with the date encoded in the file name,
Japanese-style (e.g. MyProject_2009-01-22.fcp and RoughEdit_2009-01-22.mov),
then I never touch that file. Doing the dates Japanese-style means
that they will be organized chronologically in Finder.
Keeping these intermediate projects means that people can refer
to very specific times on specific versions, and I can find exactly
what they are talking about.
As far as media goes, most people do not back up tape,
because it's such a pain (you need two drives). People tend
to keep their tapes in a box somewhere. This can work OK
if you never use Capture Now.
Since capturing from tape is such a time-consumer,
and since I don't usually work with tape anyway,
I focus on good disk backup. Ideally I'll have a disk
and a backup at home, and a copy of the media files
at another location.
Be sure to keep the backups organized and named
carefully so you can FIND what you are looking for
if you need to. Adding a little text file in your folder
explaining stuff is not a bad idea.
People talk a lot about media failure, and yes all media
will fail someday, but I use backups mostly because
of my mistakes, like deleting the wrong file or something
stupid like that.
Be sure to back up all the other little files you might be
using in a project, like Filemaker databases, graphics files,
important emails, hours logs, etc.
It's good that you are thinking about this important topic.

Load different versions of Help depending on user's OS?

Is it possible to have different versions of Help load depending on the user's OS?
For example, if a user is accessing from a PC then they would load the AIR Help version, but if they were accessing from a Mac then they would load the HTML version.
Is this something that is handled on our database end, or would it be a feature of Adobe RoboHelp Server?

Try this link if you want to see how browser based help will look on MACs and Apple hardware.
http://www.grainge.org/demos/bbair/
Your developers would need to create a sniffer to ascertain the OS of the user's device and then route to the required help. That is not built into RoboHelp and RoboHelp Server will not assist with this one.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

I want to install to different version on the same server

Hi all,
I want to install two different version of oracle on same server.
and Both should work parallely without disturbing to each other.
I know it is possible
But while installing what preliminary precautions I willl have to take so that it won't disturbed other running database.
waiting urgently for reply
Pramod

I would think as long as you set up separate staging areas for the two different versions that there should be no conflict. As always though - make sure you have good backups - maybe two.

SRM 7.0 Database Refresh

Hi everyone,
We are going to be performing a database refresh from our production system down to our development system. We would like to maintain the current org structure that is in development though. Does anyone know what tables we would need to export / import during the refresh to keep the org structure the same? Also, do we need to worry about the product category replications?
If anyone has had any experience with this your advice would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Nikhil,
Ok thank you. Do you know anything about maintaining the same org structure that was in place already in our Dev system? It is different than our production system as we do not have all of the users setup in Dev. Also we have some test ID's in Dev that we would like to keep. Do you know how to maintain the same org structure?
Thanks,
Jeff
