Database to Siebel Repository Syncronization

Hi All,
We have created a New column directly in the Database and now want this change to be available in the Siebel Repository.
This column has got Data and hence we would not be able to delete this column and recreat it through Siebel Tools.
Any ideas of what would be the process that we need to follow to get the New column made available in Siebel Repository files?
Thanks,
Priya

Did you ever get an answer for this issue - is there a migration method?
Thanks........Bran

Can I use Other database as the repository, Sybase/SQL Server? Urgent!!!

Hi all,
Can I use Other database as the repository, Sybase/SQL Server? Urgent!!!
And Can I use other database store business data and sync with lite?
Thanks ahead!!!

Jonathan,
No, it is not possible to use any other database than Oracle (8.1.7) or later .
Oracle Lite will only work with Oracle.

How to correctly backup Siebel Repository

Good morning everybody,
I want to correctly backup our Siebel Repository just to have a copy of our Object definitions.
What is the correct procedure to achieve this? Is it enough to complete the Export procedure from Siebel Enterprise Server Configuration 8.0?
Thank you very much indeed!
Gianluca.

I would also backup the files (css/images/swt templates) if you developped specific ones.
If you are working with Actuate reports, you will need to backup the rod files as well.

Backup/Restore a full Database VM Manager Repository (3.1.1)

Dear All,
My Oracle VM Manager is connect to Oracle Database 11g Standard Release 2. I want to backup and Restore from a full Database VM Manager Repository.

Upgrade of database with GC repository resides

I have GC 10.2.0.3 running with the repository stored in a 9.2.0.8 database.
I would like to upgrade the database to 10.2.0.3 using dbua if possible. When the dbua sees an upgrade to 10.2 it creates a new SYSMAN schema, but I already have one that the Grid Control install created when I used the option "install into an existing database."
I've searched MetaLink on how to do this, and created a SR but am having trouble getting support to understand what I'm attempting.
I'm open to anything, create a new database, etc. The only thing I want to be sure of is to not loose the information that I've already established in Grid, and I'm assuming it's stored in the SYSMAN schema.

Totally fresh clean 10gR2 database on a different host and platform.
2.3 Export/Import
If the source and destination database is non-10g, then export/import is the only option for cross platform database migration.
For performance improvement of export/import, set higher value for BUFFER and RECORDLENGTH . Do not export to NFS as it will slow down the process considerably.
Direct path can be used to increase performance. Note – As EM uses VPD, conventional mode will only be used by Oracle on tables where policy is defined.
Also User running export should have EXEMPT ACCESS POLICY privilege to export all rows as that user is then exempt from VPD policy enforcement. SYS is always exempted from VPD or Oracle Label Security policy enforcement, regardless of the export mode, application, or utility that is used to extract data from the database.
2.3.1 Prepare for Export/Import
* Mgmt_metrics_raw partitions check
select table_name,partitioning_type type,
partition_count count, subpartitioning_type subtype from
dba_part_tables where table_name = 'MGMT_METRICS_RAW'
If MGMT_METRICS_RAW has more than 3276 partitions please see Bug 4376351 – This bug is fixed in 10.2. Old partitions should be dropped before export/import to avoid this issue – This will also speed up the export/import process.
To drop old partitions - run exec emd_maintenance.partition_maintenance
(This needs shutdown of OMS and set job_queue_processes to 0 during the time drop partitions is run) – Please refer to EM Performance Best practices document for more details on usage.
Workaround to avoid bug 4376351 is to export mgmt_metrics_raw in conventional mode – This is needed only if drop partition is not run. Note - drop old partitions run is highly recommended.
* Shutdown OMS instances and prepare for migration
Shutdown OMS, set job queue_processes to 0 and remove dbms jobs using commands
connect /as sysdba
alter system set job_queue_processes=0;
connect sysman/<password>
@ORACLE_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/core/latest/admin/admin_remove_dbms_jobs.sql
2.3.2 Export
Before running export make sure that NLS_LANG variable is same as database characterset. For example after running this query
SQL> select value from nls_database_parameters where PARAMETER='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
VALUE
WE8ISO8859P1
Then NLS_LANG environment variable should be set to AMERICAN_ AMERICA. WE8ISO8859P1
* Export data
exp full=y constraints=n indexes=n compress=y file=fullem102_1.dmp log=fullem102exp_1.log
Provide system username and password when prompted.
Verify the log file and make sure that no characterset conversion happens (this line should not be present in log file “possible charset conversion”)
* Export without data and with constraints
exp full=y constraints=y indexes=y rows=n file=fullem102_2.dmp log=fullem102exp_2.log
Provide system username and password when prompted
2.3.3 Import
Before running import make sure that NLS_LANG variable is same as database characterset.
* Run RepManager to drop target repository (if target database has EM repository installed)
cd ORACLE_HOME/ sysman/admin/emdrep/bin
RepManager repository_host repository_port repository_SID -sys_password password_for_sys_account -action drop
* Pre-create the tablespaces and the users in target database
@ORACLE_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/core/latest/admin/admin_create_tablespaces.sql
@ORACLE_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/core/latest/admin/admin_create_repos_user.sql
@ORACLE_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/core/latest/admin/admin_pre_import.sql
For first 2 scripts, we need to provide input arguments when prompted or you can provide them on command line for example
@ORACLE_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/core/latest/admin/admin_create_tablespaces.sql MGMT_TABLESPACE <path>/mgmt.dbf <size of mgmt.dbf> <aotoextend size> MGMT_ECM_DEPOT_TS <path>/mgmt_ecm_depot1.dbf <size of mgmt_ecm_depot1.dbf> <aotoextend size> MGMT_TABLESPACE <path>/mgmt.dbf <size of mgmt.dbf> <aotoextend size>
@/scratch/nagrawal/OracleHomes/oms10g/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/core/latest/admin/admin_create_repos_user.sql sysman <sysman password> MGMT_TABLESPACE TEMP CENTRAL ON
* Import data -
imp constraints=n indexes=n FROMUSER=sysman TOUSER=sysman buffer=2097152 file=fullem102_1.dmp log=fullem102imp_1.log
* Import without data and with constraints -
imp constraints=y indexes=y FROMUSER=sysman TOUSER=sysman buffer=2097152 rows=n ignore=y file=fullem102_2.dmp log=fullem102imp_2.log
Verify the log file and make sure that no characterset conversion happens (this line should not be present in log file “possible charset conversion”)
2.3.4 Post Import EM Steps
* Please refer to Section 3.1 for Post Migration EM Specific Steps
3 Post Repository Migration Activities
3.1 Post Migration EM Steps
Following EM specific Steps should be carried out post migration -
* Recompile all invalid objects in sysman schema using
connect sysman/<password>
@ORACLE_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/core/latest/admin/admin_recompile_invalid.sql
* Run post plugin steps to recompile any invalids, create public synonyms, create other users, enable VPD policy, repin packages-
connect sysman/<password>
@ORACLE_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/core/latest/admin/admin_create_synonyms.sql
@ORACLE_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/core/latest/admin/admin_post_import.sql
Provide <ORACLE_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql for em_sql_root
SYSMAN for em_repos_user
MGMT_TABLESPACE for em_tablespace_name
TEMP for em_temp_tablespace_name
Note – The users created by admin_post_import will have same passwords as username.
Check for invalid objects – compare source and destination schemas for any discrepancy in counts and invalids.
* Following queues are not enabled after running admin_post_import.sql as per EM bug 6439035, enable them manually by running
connect sysman/<password>
exec DBMS_AQADM.START_QUEUE( queue_name=> 'MGMT_TASK_Q');
exec DBMS_AQADM.START_QUEUE( queue_name=> 'MGMT_PAF_RESPONSE_Q');
exec DBMS_AQADM.START_QUEUE( queue_name=> 'MGMT_PAF_REQUEST_Q');
exec DBMS_AQADM.START_QUEUE( queue_name=> 'MGMT_LOADER_Q');
* Please check for context using following query
connect sysman/<password>
select * from dba_context where SCHEMA='SYSMAN';
If any of following context is missing create them using
connect sysman/<password>
create or replace context storage_context sing storage_ui_util_pkg;
create or replace context em_user_context sing setemusercontext;
* Partition management
Check if necessary partitions are created so that OMS does not run into problems for loading into non-existent partitions (This problem can come only if there are gap of days between export and import) –
exec emd_maintenance.analyze_emd_schema('SYSMAN');
This will create all necessary partitions up to date.
* Submit EM dbms jobs
Reset back job_queue_processes to original value and resubmit EM dbms jobs
connect /as sysdba
alter system set job_queue_processes=10;
connect sysman/<password>
@ORACLE_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/core/latest/admin/admin_submit_dbms_jobs.sql
* Update OMS properties and startup OMS
Update emoms.properties to reflect the migrated repository - oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepConnectDescriptor
Update host name, port with the correct value and start the OMS.
* Relocate “Management Services and Repository” target
If “Management Services and repository” target needs to be migrated to the destination host, delete the old "Management Services and Repository" target. Add it again with same name "Management Services and Repository" on agent running on new machine.
* Run following sql to verify the repository collections are enabled for emrep target
SELECT
target_name,
metric_name,
task.task_id,
task.interval,
task.error_message,
trunc((mgmt_global.sysdate_utc-next_collection_timestamp )/1440) delay
from mgmt_collection_metric_tasks mtask,
mgmt_collection_tasks task,
mgmt_metrics met,
mgmt_targets tgt
where met.metric_guid = mtask.metric_guid AND
tgt.target_guid = mtask.target_guid AND
mtask.task_id = task.task_id(+) AND
met.source_type > 0 AND
met.source != ' '
AND tgt.target_type='oracle_emrep'
ORDER BY mtask.task_id;
This query should result same records in both source and destination database. If you find any of collections missing in destination database, run following to schedule them in destination database
DECLARE
traw RAW(16);
tname VARCHAR2(256);
ttype VARCHAR2(64);
BEGIN
SELECT target_name, target_type, target_guid
INTO tname, ttype, traw
FROM mgmt_targets
WHERE target_type = 'oracle_emrep';
mgmt_admin_data.add_emrep_collections(tname,ttype,traw);
END;
* Discover/relocate Database and database Listener targets
Delete the old repository database target and listener and rediscover the target database and listener in EM

Database for OEM repository

Hi All,
Greetings...
I have a question.
Can it be possible to use Oracle XE for OEM repository and what about other editions like Standard also can be used?
Please help me to conclude my requirement for an Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3 (12.1.0.3) installation on winx64.
regards,
Noushad

If you are looking to purchase Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c it requires an Oracle database for the repository which would be included in the license so you do not need to worry about the database version. Note if you were to use the the repository database for something other then the OEM repository this would require a database license.
You can confirm this information with your Oracle Rep or review the OEM license information.

Using a SQL Server database instance for repository

Hi,
My customer is using a non-default instance on SQL server as their database and want to place the repository here. There are no problems creating and connecting to the repository from the Designer. I simply define the server as "SERVER\INSTANCE" and I can connect OK.
The problem occurs in the Management Console, when I try to create an entry for this new repository. The Add process returns a Java error, telling me that the connection is being refused. I have checked, and re-checked, that all of the inputs are correct. I believe that this has something to do with the fact that the repository is an instance, rather than just the default database instance.
I have tried various differing ways of entering the server and database strings, with no positive result. I tried entering the following in the Server and Database entry fields:
SERVER\INSTANCE with DATABASENAME
SERVER
INSTANCE with DATABASENAME
SERVER/INSTANCE with DATABASENAME
INSTANCE@SERVER with DATABASENAME
SERVER.INSTANCE with DATABASENAME
SERVER with INSTANCE\DATABASENAME
SERVER with INSTANCE.DATABASENAME
All give an error - some return a "connection refused", some return a "server not found" error.
Any recommendation short of re-installing the database as a default instance would be appreciated.
DI and SQL Server reside on the same server running Windows 2003 Server R2 SE with SP2. Management Console runs in Apache Tomcat 5.5 on the same box.
Regards,
Derek.
Edited by: Derek Stobbart on Oct 1, 2008 5:14 PM

Hi Derek,
The Management Console does not support the \INSTANCE syntax -- the reason is that it uses JDBC to connect to repositories. When you add a SQL Server repository to the Management Console, note that it is asking you for hostname, port, and database name. You will need to provide it the port that the instance is running on (e.g. default=1433). You can get this from the person who administers the SQL Server instance.
Thanks,
~Scott

Configuring database connection (metadata repository) from jsp

anybody could help me to configuring database connection from portal schema from jsp page.
i dont have idea.
Thanks.

Hi,
You won't be able to access the DB connections used by iAS from the JSP. As these connections are managed by mod_plsql component in iAS.

That is achievable.

Database componentes required/excluded for RMAN and Grid control repository

I'm planning creation of a centralized 10gR2 RMAN repository for my production/dev environment, and needed a basic, barebones database. We may also use that same database as a repository for 10g OEM Grid Control in the future, so I wanted to ensure I was prepared for that.
None of the documentation says anything about particular required components for RMAN, only that a database is needed. So am I allowed to deselect all items from the following DBCA list? I didn't expect any problems with the optional components, but wanted to make sure that RMAN or Grid control would function, were I to disable Oracle JVM or XML DB. My standard loadout (for better or worse) is to include everything in my production/dev databases, and I didn't want that to be the case with this one.
Database Components:
Oracle Data Mining
Oracle Text
Oracle OLAP
Oracle Spatial
Enterprise Manager Repository
Standard Database Components:
Oracle JVM
Oracle XML DB
Oracle Intermedia

Thanks. For that matter, do DBA's in the general population install those standard oracle components? I have them there in my default installs just because of the message 'Oracle recommends you have these installed.' in the DBCA screen.

Single Oracle Database repository to support SOA and OIM is it possible

Hi, I'd like to install and configure SOA and OIM and would like to know if I can use one database as the repository to support SOA Suite install and OIM install ?
In a development environment is it safe to install SOA Suite 11g and OIM 11g on the same server with all of its components? This is only for the development environment. Thanks

Hi,
I feel you can do it with single Oracle Database,check the below links:

License policy for separate Repository database

Oracle App Server includes Oracle Database to store repository. It annonce that this database does not require separate license intil it used only as repository.
On the other hand there is concurency between database and application server,
thus for high perfomance solutions this repository database has to be moved from Oracle Application server to separate server
(the new database creating and uploading Repository schemas).
How do you think this new database, does it require the separate license?
If require should it be App Server License or RDBMS license?
The same situation with WebCache module of Application Server. If I move it on the separate server, should I pay a separate license?
Does anybody knows?

Apps server licenses do have many gotchas.
Oracle App Server includes Oracle Database to store repository. It announce that this database does not require separate license intil it used only as repository.
On the other hand there is concurency between database and application server, thus for high perfomance solutions this repository database has to be moved from Oracle Application server to separate server (the new database creating and uploading Repository schemas).
How do you think this new database, does it require the separate license?
If require should it be App Server License or RDBMS license?
Apps server infrastructure server - This is the part of the application server that contains the need for a Oracle database server. It is used for the meta data repository.
A part from the Toplink ed all Application server licenses include the following restricted use license +"The Oracle Database is provided for use with iAS Infrastructure for storing product metadata. Storing any other data in the Oracle9iAS Infrastructure database requires a full use license of the Oracle Database. "+ Thus you do not need a separate database license.
N.B. However moving the database to a shared oracle databases server will require a license as you are not allowed to mix the different types of licenses on the same server.
Thus I would recommend you use a infrastructure server with Apps server infrastructure and database unless you go for ultra high availability which requires RAC meta database repository and primary and secondary infra server.
However that is a totally different can of worms when it comes to licensing.
Remember that your infrastructure server requires a App server license. Just which one depends on what you are doing.
If you give more details I can offer advice. Will need to know server and apps component info.
The same situation with WebCache module of Application Server. If I move it on the separate server, should I pay a separate license?
WebCache is a product that would be nice to split onto a separate server BUT Oracle AS license scheme does not make it cost effective. A point i have been making to Oracle for years :0 .
WebCache servers require their own App server license.
Just what license is again down to what you are using it for.
Does anybody knows?
Well I hope from my answer you may have guessed I get asked a lot of questions about licenses but that is why we have architects and OSC.
Thus I think I can say I know but may be someone from Oracle Business Continuity in your home country should have given you the answers also. If you can ever contact them ;-).
Good Luck

Standby database instance parameters in OEM repository

Hello all,
I am just wondering if someone using mgmt$db_init_params view to get information
about init parameters for standby databases in OEM (11.1.0.1)
I had problems for one of standby databases and after creation of SR was told that
dbconfig metric is not gathering that information for standby databases
Using Management Repository Views
However I have ~40 standby databases in OEM and 25 of them got entries in the view - how they got there?
And if there are any other ways to get init params for standby databases which do not
have that information in the view
Thank you,
Andrey

How are you monitoring the standby targets with sys account or dbsnmp?

Registering MDS Repository (Database based) with IntegratedWebLogic server

Hi,
I am currently using Oracle JDeveloper 11g Rel 1 (11.1.1.2.0) (JDeveloper + ADF) to create a rule-enabled non-SOA Java EE application with Oracle Business Rules. Please find below the steps I have followed
1. Created rules in an Oracle Business Rules dictionary using an XSD schema.
2. Created a servlet that uses Oracle Business Rules
3. Created a html page to get the input and to submit the data to the servlet.
I wanted to deploy the application on to integratedWebLogic Server. Before deploying the application, I have installed Repository Creation Utility (RCU) and create a database-based MDS Repository using RCU.
I understood from the documentation that before I can deploy an application to MDS Repository, I should register the repository with the Oracle WebLogic Server domain. To perform the same, firstly I have started my integratedWebLogic Server instance and navigated to the integratedWebLogic Server admin console. In the Default Domain, I do not see an option to register metadata database repository.
Please let me know if I had to download any additional components to register the repository with the IntegratedWebLogic Server domain. Appreciate any help/suggestions in this regard.
Thanks
Sanil.M

I solved this problem by running it via
wlst registerMDSRepository.py

OWB 10gR1 Repository and 10gR2 Database

Using the 050621 shiphome release of 10gR2 on Linux we have noticed the INTERACTIONEXECUTE stored procedure is defined with definer rights - it should be invoker rights.
