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,

Clustering multiple instances on the same server

I've read reports of people clustering multiple instances of weblogic on the
          same machine to better utilize the CPU of that machine.
          So if I wanted to set up a cluster with four machines and two instances of
          weblogic running on each (port 7001 and port 8001) , what properties do I need
          to send into the startup command for the servers?
          How do you set this up
          Thanks in advanced.

Do this for all your four machines
          1) Create dirs: cluster1, cluster2 under %WEBLOGIC_HOME%
          2) Create dirs: cluster1\myserver, cluster2\myserver
          3) create two startup scripts,
          specify -Dweblogic.cluster.enable=true -Dweblogic.cluster.name=cluster1 (or
          cluster2) in each script.
          4) Speicfy weblogic.cluster.multicastAddress=IPAddr in
          cluster1\weblogic.properties & cluster2\weblogic.properties, use different
          IPAddr for these two cluster.
          5) Specify weblogic.system.listenPort=7001 in
          cluster1\myserver\weblogic.properties & weblogic.system.listenPort=8001 in
          cluster2\myserver\weblogic.properties
          6) If your machine is multi-homed, specify weblogic.system.bindAddr in
          cluster1(and/or cluster2)\myserver\weblogic.properties.
          my 2cents.

Install SAP Solution Manager with DEV instance in the same server (MCOD)

Hello, i would like to install SAP Solutions Manager together with DEV ECC 6.0 in the same host, DEV is currently installed and working fine.
I followed note 551915 to convert MS-SQL 2005 to MCOD (change of schema from dbo to dev) and worked fine. But when i am installing the SolMan through the sapinst i don´t see the option MCOD
The only option i am confussed is
MS SQL Server
Database reuse o - New Database (DBSID = SAPSID)
o - Use Existing Database
Database ID (DBSID)
Witch option should i choose to perform a MCOD installation? new db or use existing db (DEV)?
Kind Regards

Hi Merchan, if you want to use MCOD you need to select the option: o - Use Existing Database
Database ID (DBSID) .

I'm having problems in a GOOP application with multiple instances of the same object running simultaneously.

I?ve written an application to control a system with multiple lamps. Each lamp in the system has its own power supply. Each lamp object contains a reference to its power supply. The application contains an array with the references to all the lamps in the system. Each lamp is in charge of monitoring itself and setting its power supply?s voltage according to the applications commands, therefore each lamp needs that its ?run me? method will run as long as the application is running i.e. the run method has to be reentrant. Because there are multiple lamps and because the ?run me? methods for each lamp run simultaneously, to over come this problem each lamp has a met
hod ?run? that calls ?run me? with ?RUN VI? invoke node with the ?Wait until done? set to false. When I run the application, it seems to work but if I check the AO there is no change in the output, and the lamps seem to be reading their input from the same channel. I can?t seem to find the problem, I think that the fact that the method is reentrant causes some sort of mix-up in the separate object references. Also because the method is reentrant I can?t debug it (with one lamp it seems to work ok). Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem.
P.S I'm having problems attaching my sample program to this message. You can contact me at [email protected] to recive the sample program I wrote.

Jean, Thanks for your answer, I've tried checking the invoke node that calls the "Run VI" method but it doesnt return an error any of the times its called even that the Vi that it called is still running. I also tried your solution of changing the object's "Run" method to a template but that doesnt work either. I can't seem to post the sample progam that demonstrates the problem, is it possible to send it to you by email, contact me at [email protected]

Two instances on the same server

I've already created one instance on 11g R2 database, but I was told to create another instance on the same server. Can I use the same listener for both instance? Will it cause any problem?
Thanks!

Thanks for all your responses. I have not dealt with two instances on the same server before. I'll take your advice to start with the same listener for both instances and see if it is causing any issue. My database server is a Oracle Sparc 5120 with plenty of memory and disk space. The second instance that I'm going to create will be much smaller than the first one.
Single or multiple listeners aren't really a factor for performance. Notice that even in Dan's remarks, none of his reasons for multiple listeners had anything to do with performance.
Question, is it easy to create/configure the second listener to point to the second instance? Just in case there is an issue using the same instance.
The listener doesn't "point to" the database - not in the sense you seem to think. It simply watches the ports it is configured to use (1521 by default) for connection requests from clients. When it gets a request it evaluates whether or not it knows about the service (instance) requested, and if it does it spawns a separate server processes to communicate between the client and the db instance, then is out of the way. The listener creates the connection but does not sustain it. You can stop a listener and all existing connection will continue because the listener has no part in maintaining them.
Multiple listeners would be configured by adding LISTENER sections to the listener.ora file. You might find it instructive to realize that if there is no listener.ora, a 'lsnrctl start' will cause a default named listener to start on the default port of 1521. By default, any db instances on that server will register themselves with the default listener on the default port. After this self-registration, the listener will know about the instance if/when it receives any connection requests for it. Let's switch from the telephone analogy to that of a desk clerk at a hotel. He comes to work and is handed a piece of paper that says "We have Tom, Dick, and Harry registered as guests" This would be analogous to the listener learning of instances via the SID_LIST section of the listener.ora file. Then Fred walks up and says "I'm Fred and I'm in room 238", so the clerk makes a note of that. This would be analogous to the instance registering itself to the listener. Either way, then someone walks up and says "Where would I find Tom (or Fred)". The clerks checks his lists and directs the person to the correct room. He doesn't escort the person around to Tom and act as a go-between for their conversation. And hotel management doesn't want to have to pay a separate clerk for each guest.
You might want to read my articles about TNS in general at edstevensdba.wordpress.com. I think they will help you get a clearer understanding.

Multiple oracle database instances with different characterset on the same server

Hello,
Is it possible to have 2 database instances running with different charactersets,one with AL32UTF8 and the other with WE8MSWIN1252.?
Are there any setup requirements to be performed prior to setting up the database instances?
The 3rd party utility that we want to use does not support AL32UTF8 and insists on using a database with character set WE8MSWIN1252.
Kindly help.
Thanks,
Ram.

Hello Zhe,
I guess I posted my question in a wrong forum. I tried my best to find a suitable forum and thought this was the best and closest I found. Apparently not. Can you please let me know the right forum for my question?
The below is the breif of what we are currently facing:
We are in the process of finalizing plans to install Automic for our Retail applications to schedule jobs. In the process came to know that Automic does not support AL32UTF8.
Right now we have RMS and UC4 (now called Automic) run on the database server as UC4 supports AL32UTF8 and schema for UC4 is inside the RMS database.
Going forward it is recommended to have a separate database instance on the same server as that of RMS database and with a different characterset which is WE8MSWIN1252.
Please let me know what forum to post in, I will repost the question.
Thanks,
Ram.

Multiple application instance on the same server instance

Can we have multiple instances of the same application on a single WLS?? For ex, can I have two app.ear files in different application directories??

Hi Nilesh,
Can you please clarify your landscape as this will help in getting answers to your question.
In general adding instances (and/or server nodes) should be considered for increasing capacity rather than impoving performance. Specifcially, adding instances (and/or server nodes on the same host you risk a situation where the processes compete for resources which will have a negative effect on performance. If you do need to combine instances on the same host, make sure there is enough hardware (specifically memory in case of JAVA).
Hope this helps,
Best regards, Walter

Is database link only 'valid' for instances in the same server?

Background: We have 5 servers and installed Oracle 7.3 and 8.
Problem: I managed to create database link to other instance in same server; but not to other server. Error message received was :
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found
: TNS server name not found
BUT: I managed it with 'copy from ' command in SQL*plus.

Hi,
We are planning to install second instance of Oracle 11gR2 in Linux server 2.6.39-400.21.1.el6uek.x86_64 x86_64. This is something we never haven done before. If you have such experience, please give us some insight.
The existing instance has all the standard ports:
Connecting to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=)(PORT=1521))
Enterprise Manager Console HTTP Port (pterpdb02) = 1158
Enterprise Manager Agent Port (pterpdb02) = 3938
What ports should we select for second listener and enterprise manager? Is there anything else that we need to know before we install the second instance?If you want a second database instance, no additional installation is required - as long as you want to run the second instance at the same version as the the first. Just fire up dbca and create the second database. One installation of Oracle (one ORACLE_HOME) is capable of supporting many database instances, though the same may or may not be said of the hardware it is running on.
As already said, one listener is enough. One listener, running from one oracle home, using the default name of LISTENER, running on the defualt port of 1521, is quite capable of -- indeed, WAS DESIGNED TO, supporte multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple ORACLE_HOMEs.
One instance of dbcontrol/dbconsole will support only one database. If you do not use Grid Control (extra installation, extra license) you will need to use the emca utility or one of the options in the dbca utility to configure a seperate instance of dbcontrol for each database. Don't worry about the ports, the creation utility will take care of it and report what it does.

Opening multiple instances of the same vi

Hi,
I am having trouble opening multiple instances of the same vi.
This vi that I am trying to create can be used like a message display window to display numbers, strings etc (just like labVIEW's display message control except that this vi will update the displayed controls every scan). So for example, I will like to have a subvi, lets call it popup.vi, where I wire in three inputs from my main vi (2 strings and 1 number). Now in my main.vi I have 2 numeric controls Num1 and Num2 with their KeyFocus property nodes.
The intention is that when I select Num1 or Num2 numeric control with my mouse the KeyFocus boolean becomes true and the popup.vi logic kicks in. Meaning that the popup.vi runs and opens its front pane
l displaying the two strings and one numeric value from the main.vi.
The problem arises when I want to open and run multiple instances of the popup.vi.
So when I click on Num1 with my mouse I want the popup.vi to open its front panel with a set of strings and number displayed. At the same time I would want to click on Num2 control and open another instance of the popup.vi with another set of strings and numeric value.
Also, I saved the popup.vi as popup.vit but for some reason vi server will not open the popup.vit. I get a message that popup.vit is already in memory - cannot load.
I have attached a sample of the main.vi and popup.vi program.
Please let me know if you need further clarifications.
I appreciate your help in this matter.
Thanks
Nish

You have to clone the VI. You say you have tried to use the .vit way of cloning...but in the example there is no use of VIT and the VI is called statically. If you want to open multiple instances of the same VI and the VI has a user interface (or needs to be a unique instance of the VI every time even though it's called the same place in the diagram, not the case here though) you need to do it dynamically, i.e. with an invoke node.
There is actually a problem doing just that, it causes a memory leak...but that won't be a problem unless the VI is called frequently / the software will be running over very long periods of time. You can see an example of it here (attached to my reply to the question):

Problem:Multiple instances of the same applet on a webpage...

I have an applet which connects to a server to read an XML-file.
I use Doucument to parse the XML-file like this:
String xmlurl="http://www.somesite.com/somexmlpage.php";
Document d =DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(xmlurl);
(...read the XML-file...)
This works fine.
However, I need multiple instances of the same applet running at the same time on the same webpage.
Now, with multiple applets running at the same time the parsing no loger works. If one applet is doing some parsing and a taskswitch takes place to let another applet run, the applet which is interrupted is not able to continue the parsing as it looses its "incoming data" when another applet reads from the server.
How can different applets affect each other like this?
And how can I fix the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help!!

However, I need multiple instances of the same applet running at the same time on the same webpage.
Why? But okay.Because the the different applets show information about different items.
Now, with multiple applets running at the same time the parsing no loger works. If one applet is doing some parsing and a
taskswitch takes place to let another applet run, the applet which is interrupted is not able to continue the
parsing as it looses its "incoming data" when another applet reads from the server.
How did you determine that's what's happening?By printing out debuginformation.
Each applet prints out a message (System.out.println) when it creates an instance of Document (ie. connects to the server) and the applet also prints out XML-information as the XML-file is processed.
But, actually, I was a bit quick in my first post; The applet doesen't neccesarily loose its "incoming data", but the parser looses the data it is parsing. I can download the data from the server first, and then start parsing it. If a taskswitch happens while one applet is parsing, it looses its data, even if the data is allready downloaded.
I see this since I see another applet making a printout, and when first applet starts again, the parser has lost track of its data.
It works fine if only one applet is running. And everything is fine until the next applets starts; I can see this from the printout.
Again, the appet prints out data as it parses the document. I see the next applet starting to work, and when the first one continues parsing again the printout shows that data is no longer there. It happens everytime the runtime switches to another applet, and it never happens if just one applet is running.
Googeling a little tells me that DocumentBuilder.parse() isn't thread-safe, but this shouldn't have anything to do with it, should it?
Each applet is a separate process, and not different threads in the same process, aren't they? (Not sure how the runtime treats multiple applets...)And secondly, the applets create their own instance of Document anyways.

Multiple instances of the same APEX application under SSO

Currently we have several applications that are authenticated through Oracle SSO. The apps are authenticating correctly, but I can't be in multiple instances of the same application without having to re-validate through SSO when I move between instances.
Scenario: I'm successfully signed into my "parent" application, app_id 1 through SSO. I click a custom link that opens the "child" application (app_id 2) to view widget "A". When the page is launched I see the usual "Redirecting to the Login Server for authentication" message (verifying that I'm signed in through SSO) and then it succeeds and takes me into app 2, displaying widget A. I click the next link to launch another instance of app 2 with a different APEX session id for viewing widget "B". This also passes through SSO and redirects me into app 2, displaying widget B as expected. But now if I go back to navigate anywhere on widget A in my first instance, it has to go back through the "Redirecting to Login Server." This now means the widget A window is valid, but the widget B window will have to redirect next time I use it (back & forth & so on...)
So my question I suppose is: Is it possible/good practice to allow a single user to open multiple separate instances of the same APEX application using different APEX session_ids viewing different data under Oracle Enterprise SSO?
Guesstimation: It seems like there must be a switch somewhere in SSO that says "allow multiple application instances yes/no"...but my problem may be APEX itself, or how SSO is tied into APEX... Sorry for the super-generic example, I'm not exactly sure where I should be looking to resolve this, and the closest similar problem I found on the forums was here: login to application twice in two seperate IE windows clears other login

reset your dock preferences. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and log out/in. your dock, spaces and exposé will be reset to the defaults. see if the problem goes away.

Is there any version of Indesign that allows to open multiple instance at the same time

I am using Indesign CS3 to generate the bulk reports automatically(programmatically) using Adobe indesign library . One of the key limitation to this tool is it allows to open only one instance at a time unlike word where multiple instances can be opened at the same time. Is there any adobe indesign too version desktop/server which allows to open multiple instances at the same time. Any help on is appreciated. Thanks.

@PeterG
You said "You might want to examine the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) for any prohibition against using these two instances at the same time with the same license; the license does permit two installs for the same user that are not used simultaneously." I thought that meant you had read the EULA. It's pretty unambiguous on that point.

Contribute multiple instances of the same connection appear on login/start screen

I am administering a series of sub-websites under one primary umbrella.
- The Primary Umbrella site does not run under the Contribute Publishing Server
- The secondary (child) sites are managed by the Contribute Publishing Server
- We recently added a user to several of these subsites
- After we added the user, we've had a problem with other user profiles.
- Multiple instances of the same connection will appear upon login on the start screen ( about:startscreen ). However the user seems to only be able to credential to one of them, not both.
I have gone into the user profile directory within Windows directory structure and removed both site dirs. However when restarting and reconnecting, both appear again.
Anyone else have this issue and what is the remedy and fix?

I tried to add a screenshot, however it would not let me upload.

How can I open multiple instances of the same version of FF?

I understand that if I have multiple profiles, I can run different versions of FF side-by-side (like 3.6 and 4).
However, what I'm interested in is how I can launch multiple instances of the same version of FF (4, for instance) using the same profile. In other words, I want to be able to double-click the desktop icon for FF, and open a new instance, and keep doing that as many times as I want. I don't want to have a different icon and profile for each instance (too much overhead to keep a dozen+ profiles in sync).
I can always launch one FF window instance, and then keep clicking ctrl+N to launch new instances from inside it, which they all share the same profile (as I want). So, basically, I want to be able to do that from my desktop icon, rather than by having to do it with the keyboard ctrl+N sequence.

But I don't understand why whatever Firefox does when you click ctrl+N can't also be done (with some sort of command-line switch) from a desktop icon?
In other words, I clearly can create many FF instances (even if they are the same FF.exe process) by doing ctrl+n a bunch of times. Why then can't this behavior be done from a desktop icon with some parameters?
As far as I know, FF is the only browser that doesn't directly allow multiple browser instances from desktop icons. IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc... all let me launch a new instance (even if they are all single process and the instances are shared within the process).
