DBACockpit - Multiple Oracle DBs on same server

Hi All,
I'm trying to get the oracle logs working within DBACockpit on Solman 7.01 for 2 systems that reside on the same physical server.
I've read note 1025707 and thread Using Central DBACOCKPIT with multiple databases on 1 host but I am still none the wiser.
The only thing I have managed to do to get this to work is under section 2 of the sap note, the last paragraph
If the remote host is a cluster or if you want to start the BR*Tools on a specific real application cluster (RAC) node, the virtual cluster host name or the host name of the RAC node must be entered in the DBA Cockpit under "Jobs -> Back-End Configuration", that is in the
dialog box "BR*Tools execution host" that can be called by using the menu "Administration -> ORACLE Settings".
I have set this for both the systems and this seems to work but when switching SIDs it keeps the old host name unless I restart DBACockpit and look at the each on separately.
Back End Configuration for SID1 is set to vhost1 in ORACLE Settings
Back End Configuration for SID2 is set to vhost2 in ORACLE Settings
Both reside on hostA
Without this setting Database Host always shows hostA and the RFC connection that was automatically set up references this server with the gateway set to that of vhost1 for example. Which only works for SID1 obviously.
When I made the changes to the above ORACLE Settings I had to create 2 new RFCs for each vhost so SAPXPG_DBDEST_VHOST1 & SAPXPG_DBDEST_VHOST2 since the original was using SAPXPG_DBDEST_HOSTA and set their gateway settings accordingly.
Is this the correct way of doing this as it appears to work, except that there appears to be a bug when switching SIDs?
I tried section 5 of the note but this didn't seem to work.
Thanks

Multiple Oracle Homes on same server (Oracle AS and DB)

Hello All,
OS : RHEL 4.7
Oracle Application Server : 10.1.3.1
Oracle Database : 11.2.0.1.0
I have been asked to install oracle 11g on a server which is already running Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1
Due to lack of space on the server the sys admin gave me the space under /usr, Installation went smooth and successfull and the location of complete 11g installed is "/usr/11gr2/app/11g/product"
Database is also created using DBCA with file location "/usr/11gr2/app/11g/oradata"
Question is, I need to set environmental variable under the same user "oracle" so that when one logs in, should be able to logon by just typing sqlplus...
Current .bash_profile of the user "oracle" looks like this...
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=/u01/oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/jdk/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin
export RPD_HOME=/home/oracle/ORABI/OBI/server/Repository

PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin
export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin
#export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/ant/jdk
export PATH
Please suggest to include this oracle_home also in the above .bash_profile or any alternative to achive the needs..
Thanks

DataGuard - multiple standbys on the same server

DataGuard - multiple standbys on the same server
I have my primary database on one server and I have 2 physical standby databases on another server. Is it possible to configure it so that the archive logs are pushed to the backup server only once? Can they be written to a single location on the backup server and accessed by both standby databases?

Justin... Hold on !!! it seems that user is asking for test, not for real scenario.
Anyways, it could be possible without mentioning undocumented parameters. You just need to enable log_archive_dest_n and log_archive_dest_state_n parameter and configure tnsnames so you can mention service there.
Pls. check and revert back if I am wrong here.
Cheers !!!
Star Nirav
Personally, I would be suprised if you could get two
standby databases to run on a single failover machine
without resorting to some of the unsupported
parameters that are required to get a primary &
secondary running on a single machine for development
purposes. I can't imagine how two standby databases
could pull archived log files from the same directory
and apply them at completely different times.
Generally, you would want your failover system on a
different machine than the reporting system since
they serve relatively different purposes.
Alternately, have you looked at using a logical
standby to serve both purposes?

Can we install multiple oracle product in same oracle home

hi,
It would be appreciated if any one can answer below:
Is it possible to install multiple oracle product in same oracle home?

installing XE and enterprise edition in same oracle _home oracle 10g?

Installing different versions of Oracle on the same server

We have a client that is currently on Oracle version 9.2.0.3. There is a project beginning that will have them upgrading to either 10g or 11g(still tbd). The project will have this happening in different steps. Therefore, we will need to continue to have the 9.2.03 db up and available while certain accounts are being migrated to the newer version.
Question is - can you install 2 versions of Oracle on the same server without any issues?
Or would we be better off purchasing a separate server to install 10g or 11g.

Depending on the OS certification you should be able to run both. You'll probably have to patch up the OS though. One of my servers has 3 different Oracle homes (9.2.0.5 - 10.2.0.2).
You can check the certification by clicking on the certify tab in metalink.

Regarding migration of multiple 9i DBs to same AIX 5.2 server

Hi,
We plan to move few Oracle 9i databases from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.2.
I have couple of questions on the approach we are planning to implement:
1- We plan to backup the volumes having Oracle_Home and datafiles along with the complete OS and restore these on the target server. Will Oracle installation work on the target with this approach ?
2- Can we use the same Oracle Home for multiple Oracle databases ? The purpose is after the above copy of volumes/OS from first server, we will just copy the offline backup data/redo log files/control files/init.ora file from the second source DB server to the target, and will startup the additional instance. Will this approach work ?
Thanks for your time..
Rgds,
Himansu

We plan to move few Oracle 9i databases from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.2.I think it is from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3.
1- We plan to backup the volumes having Oracle_Home and datafiles along with the complete OS and restore these on the target server. Will Oracle installation work on the target with this approach ?As far as I know yes. The installation should work as we can even move homes in AIX and hot-swap the drives.
2- Can we use the same Oracle Home for multiple Oracle databases ? The purpose is after the above copy of volumes/OS from first server, we will just copy the offline backup data/redo log files/control files/init.ora file from the second source DB server to the target, and will startup the additional instance. Will this approach work ?Yes. Same home can accomodate the same versions databases. The approach is pefectly OK.

Multiple AIA instances on same server?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to install multiple AIA instances on the same SOA server? The installer hints that this might be possible, although I have not seen how this is done because the installer expects an empty oracle home path. The only information I have found so far is for an earlier 2.x release of AIA and that suggested:
"Each SOA installation must be in his own ORACLE_HOME directory.
Each AIA installation must be in his own ORACLE_HOME directory.
You must point to different databases. You can not have mulitple SOA schema's in one sinlge database."
Is this true?
Thanks,
Kev.

Hi Laxman,
If its a testing purpose its ok to have a one oracle_home and single listener for multiple DB. One problem when applying oracle patches for one of the instances running in a multiple DB running then you need to bring all the DB running in that host since the oracle_home is sharing between all db instances.
Thanks
Sunil Rajesh K.C.Starting with 11g, patchset updates are full installs and done into a new home. This makes it possible to migrate one instance at a time. However, your point would be a consideration for one-off patches like CPUs.
However, please note ... OP --- PLEASE NOTE even with multiple oracle homes, you still only need a single listener.

Multiple Oracle Products on Single Server

Can we install Multiple Oracle Products for Development and Testing on a Single Server?
Oracle Database 9i Enterprise Edition.
Oracle 9i Application Server
Oracle Applications 11i (Financials GL,HRMS PAYROLL)
Oracle Discoverer 4.x
Oracle Internet Developer Suite (Forms Server, Reports Server,
If yes,
Do they need to be in separate ORACLE_HOME or same ?
Also what should be the sequence of Install, i.e. what should be installed first?

The following products needs to be in their own Oracle Home:
Oracle Database 9i Enterprise Edition. --> in its own O_H
Oracle 9i Application Server --> in its own O_H (assuming this is 1.0.2.2 or 9.0.2)
Oracle Applications 11i (Financials GL,HRMS PAYROLL) --> in its own O_H
Oracle Discoverer 4.x --> in its own O_H (this is a 806 based product btw)
Oracle Internet Developer Suite (Forms Server, Reports Server) --> This can either be in its own O_H or in the O_H which has 1.0.2.2 Oracle9i Application Server.

Install Oracle 11i Suite and Oracle 10g on same Server

Hi
We are an Educational firm planning to launching Oracle 11i and 10g.
Can I install both the Oracle 11i E-Business Suite and Oracle 10g on the same Server? If it can What is best configuration for the Server that can I bought?
provide Configuration too.
thanks

"However, I do not suggest any windows platform for 11i as that is not so good os for 11i. You may either go far unix or linux" - 140042
That's absolutely right. It is better to have at least two linux/unix machines:
# 1 machine for application server - admin, web, form, concurrent services
# 2 machine for DB server
If you want, you may integrate Oracle apps 11.5.10 (on #1 and # machines) with OracleAS 10g (# machine).

Running multiple agents on the same server

Has anyone run multiple instances of essbase on the same server, using the agentport command? If so, how well did it work and what do you think about running it in a production environment?Thanks alot!

I have tested it, but the documentation does not recommend using this feature in production. You can achieve the same thing with creating test applications/databases.Also, when you run 2 instances of the agent on one box, you must modify the essbase.cfg of the client machine to indicate which instance (port) that client will connect to.Regards,Jade------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

Running Multiple JVM's on same Server has OutOfMemory - PermGen Errors

I have a scenario where I have 2 application servers. One is running one JVM and the other is running multiple JVMs.
Both are configured with:
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:+UseParNewGC
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled
-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
The server that is running with only 1 JVM runs stable, however the server that is running multiple JVMs has frequent crashes due to OutOfMemory - PermGen errors. The only other difference is the Heap size. 512mb for each JVM on the app server with multiple instances and 1GB for the server with 1 instance. Is there a relationship/settings that need to be tuned when running multiple JVM's on the same server to avoid this?
Thx

The only other difference is the Heap size. 512mb for each JVM on the app server with multiple instances and 1GB for the server with 1 instance.This isn't a trivial difference. Basically you're saying "When I give the server 1 GB then it's okay but when I give it 512 MB it's not okay." If I saw those symptoms I would take them at face value to start with.
So, turn off one of those servers on the machine that has two. Don't change anything else. Testable prediction: That won't fix your problem.

Multiple Apps on the same server

Hope you can help and point me in the right direction.
I am managing a CF internet based application built using CF
6.1 and which talks to a MS Access 2K dB. The app is running on a
MS Windows 2K Adv Server, IIS [with a SSL cert.] and CF 6.1 Std
Server.
I now need to run a second separate application on the same
server.
My questions are:
1. Is this possible?
2. If yes to 1 can anyone point me in the right direction as
to configuring IIS and CF to run the second application? This
second app will also require a SSL.
TIA, K

First off run as far and fast away from using Access for your
DB back end as possible. Access isn't meant for this kind of work.
Next, you'll need to setup a new virtual server (with its own
dedicated IP address) in IIS.
Configure your new server to its new web root and optionally
reconfigure your log files.
Create a new CSR with all the right information and send it
to your SSL creator. Pay for cert with them, and wait for it to
come back. Install new cert and optinally reconfigure the site to
force SSL where necessary.
Add any necessary data sources in the ColdFusion admin
If your root config stuff for CF was setup correctly
everything should just magically work (tm).

Problems with Sent mail and multiple accounts on the same server

I have 2 different email accounts that are on the same server. Regardless of the account from which I send the email, all of the sent messages end up in the same sent folder. Is there a way to force the sent messages to go into their correct Sent folder?

In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post, to let me see the names of the files and folders present at the root level of the Mail folder.
Before actually posting that information, you may edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you wish to keep private, e.g. you may replace any real username with "username" to hide your real email address if you wish; similarly, you may disguise any domain names you don't want to be revealed. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.
Now, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. With that folder open, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains. Again, you may disguise any mailbox names you wish to keep private. Be careful to not alter any suffixes, though.
Finally, for the two accounts involved in the problem, locate the account folders within ~/Library/Mail/ -- their name begins with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. For each account folder, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

Multiple Oracle Clients on Same Machine for different apps

I was not able to find info that answered this so sorry if I missed something that explains this.
At our site we have many applications some I know lots about some I'm not even aware of because we have mulitple sites. The application I develop uses an Oracle 8.1.7 database. In the next year we are going to be upgrading to a 9i database. The app I program for is written in VB and uses 0040 with the 7.3.4 version. We want to upgrade our client to the latest version to use all the features of the 9i database when that times comes. Can we have our 9i client on the same machine that may have other apps that require the 8i client or even the 7.3.4 client without breaking them? The other apps may or may not use 0040. Some of these apps are Oracle Forms applications and some can be anything under the sun.
I still need to do testing to see what breaks but thought someone may already have the answers some of my ?'s Any tips or info you can provide would be great.
Thanks

Two possible answers
1) Oracle added multi-home support to the Oracle client in 8i (may have been 8.0, I'm really not sure). This allows you to set up multiple 8i and above clients on a single machine in different Oracle Homes and should solve the majority of your problems. Having a 7.3.4 client installed wouldn't be supported, but 8i clients should have no difficulty connecting to a 7.3.4 database.
When Oracle added multi-home support, not all the Oracle client products were made multi-home compatible. The ODBC driver, for example, wasn't multi-home compatible until significantly later patchsets. I belive that OO4O has been multi-home compatible since the client has been, though.
2) From a technical standpoint, you should be able to have a 7.3.4 client alongside 8i and above clients. In my experience, this works, but isn't something that Oracle supports.

Dbconsole with multiple instances on the same server?

Hi!
I have a LINUX server running 2 separate instances - csp1 and csp2. I have a repository in csp1 and the dbconsole running for csp1. Now I need to find out if / how I can get the dbconsole running for the csp2 instance. This is Oracle standard edition 10.2.0.4. Both instances share the same Oracle Home and Listener. A second Oracle Home has the companion CD (http server) installed in it and has no instances associated with it.
Does anyone have information on how to do this? Here are some of my questions:
1) Do I need separate repositories for each instance or can the repository in csp1 be used for both instances?
2) Can the ports be shared or do I need to assign new port #'s for the 2nd instance? How / where do I do this?
Any hints, tips, suggestions, etc. are greatly appreciated!
Dave Venus

1) Do I need separate repositories for each instance or can the repository in csp1 be used for both instances?
Yes, in the free version of EM in 10g ie DB console,that's the restriction. You can't use it for more than one database. It has to be done explicitly for that another database whom you want to manage via it. So as per the answer, yes you do need a seperate repository for your second db. The other db will be in the same Oracle home and surely its em repository can work with the existing listener.But it does require its own set of config files which will be in a sperate folder under Oracle Home with its sid.
2) 2) Can the ports be shared or do I need to assign new port #'s for the 2nd instance? How / where do I do this?
As I mentioned in my last reply, you wouldn't be able to share the port that is already in use. You do need to have a seperate port configured. Normally when you would install the repository oracle would pick up itself a port number. The valid port range , if I remember correctly is from 5500 onwards ( I don't remember the last limit). Even afterwars, you can change the port using "emca" command.
Edit:
I forgot to mention that some time back, here on the forums, I had a discussion with a guy who mentioned that there is a workaround possible to add a target in the current Targets.xml for the second database. I did try it out but still that didn't give me two instances. The most recent one which I added only was accessible.
Update:
I did find that thread,here it is. See if this helps you,
