EBS Instance migration to Exadata Servers

Hi Experts,
Kindly note that we are in process of doing the ebs instance migration from OEL 6.4 64-bit OS to Exadata Server. And the proposed target os on the exadata server is OEL6.4.
a. need to convert the non asm ebs db to asm on the target.
b. migrate the instance to Exadata.
Please suggest me the approach and notes.

Migrating an Oracle E-Business Suite Database to Oracle Exadata Database Machine (Doc ID 1133355.1)
As you are having Source database on linux (64-bit) and wanted to have your target database on Exadata (also linux 64-bit) then either you can use RMAN,rconfig or dbca to migrate the database.
A. Using RMAN you can duplicate the database from non-ASm to ASM on Exadata
B. Using dbca, you can create the database template and then can create the database on exadata ASM
C. Similarly rconfig can also be used.
RMAN is widely used to migrate the database to Exadata when source database is also on Linux 64-bit.

Data Guard - Keeping same SID/Instance Name across both sites

Hello,
We are working on a project to move the databases from legacy to new servers. The migration plan is to use Data Guard option for our migration strategy. We would like to know followings.
1) Is it possible to build stand by databases with same instance name of legacy primary instances? If so, how it could be?
2) If not, we can build stand by database with different instance name (DB_UNIQUE_NAME). Do the switch over and cut off the replication with legacy primary database. Once done, What other alternative do we have to change the instance name same like legacy database instances?
The ultimate goal is to retain same DB name and instance name in new server with minimum downtime.
Database - 11.2.0.3.0
Database Type - Oracle restart and RAC
O.S. - RHEL 6.3
The requirement is have same DB name and instance name across sites.
Primary site - X node
Primary DB - EODSS
Primary DB instances - EODSS1, EODSS1
Standby Site - Y node
StandBy DB - EODS
StandBy instances - EODSS1, EODSS1
Thanks,
Pankaj

Hello;
1) Is it possible to build stand by databases with same instance name of legacy primary instances? If so, how it could be?
Yes. Not sure I understand the second part of the question. I like to think of a standby database and a primary database as the same database in different modes. RMAN treats them as the same. They have the same DBID.
2) If not, we can build stand by database with different instance name (DB_UNIQUE_NAME). Do the switch over and cut off the replication with legacy primary database. Once done, What other alternative do we have to change the instance name same like legacy database instances?
It should not matter what the database name is. Almost everything connects using an Alias. I find it easier to use a slightly different name for the Standby because then I know which site I'm working on. What I did was put an S in front of the name on the standby side to keep them apart in my mind. A tnsnames entry can handle the rest. So yes you can do that, but it might be harder to keep track that way.

ALUI Instance migration

Hi ,
I need information for a ALUI production instance migration from one server to another server on windows platform. The DB and the app server both are in a single host.
(a) What are the steps to migrate a production instance from an existing server to a new server? The IP and host name will be different for the target instance. (b)Can we use the database and search collection backup / restore to get things going ? what are the steps to be followed after installation of ALUI in the application server in this case ?
Any information on the approach / best practices for this is appreciated very much.
Thanks & Regards,
Viks

Hello Viks...
I just completed this procedure recently to create a QA environment... we previously only had DEV and PROD in our stack. Here is a basic high-level overview of the procedure:
** Updated at 8:52 AM... Wrote from memory. Reviewed documentation and noticed that I missed some steps. **
1. Install all products in the new enviornment on your new hardware as a clean install.
2. Run the post-install checklist to ensure that all components are online and functional as expected.
3. Once your clean environment has been validated, stop all portal services and restore your target environment databases over the new environment databases.
4. Copy the Document Repository 'documents' folder from the source environment to the target environment
4. Run target version of postinst.sql against the target portal database
5. Start only portal and imageserver
6. Remove source system Automation Servers. Truncate job and audit history tables in database.
7. Reimport the migration packages for all products after database restore so the remote servers point to the proper locations for the new environment. Validate all remote server urls... some may need to be changed manuallly.
8. Purge then the search index to remove test data then schedule a search repair for a previous date/time so it runs in repair mode when automation server is started.
9. Make sure Intrinsic Ops folder has been registered in new environment Automation Server.
10. Start all remaining services.
11. Update and test publisher Publish and Preview targets then right-click Publisher Explorer and publish the entire tree.
12. Run post-install checks again to validate.
Hope that helps...

Question about configuring REST web service in EBS instance

I am from EBS SCM team. From one wiki page, it says OA Framework provides REST framework to expose OAF BC4J objects as web services. Can you provide more details about how to configure REST web service for one EBS instance? Any related information is also helpful.
Edited by: 936859 on Sep 7, 2012 5:45 PM

IIRC you must activate PAPI-WS for the engine. In Studio you do it by right-clicking on the project, then "engine preferences". In enterprise/standalone you must activate PAPI-WS in the Admin Center.

How to allocate the processor to oracle ebs instances

dear all
we are using solaris 10 on sparc t3 server.
we want to allocate some processor to oracle ebs instances for the multi instance environment
so please suggest us how should we go for it..
regards

In addition to the above, increasing the number of processors should not impact the functionality of the application and your only concern should be the licensing, and for this matter you will need to contact your Oracle sales representative.

EBS database migrate to exadata server.

Hi Experts,
My EBS database is 11.2.0.3. I'm going to migrate EBS database to exadata server. Please advise what patches need to be applied on exadata server for EBS database migration?
Thanks & Regards,

Hello Angela,
I think what you're looking for is in My Oracle Support document ID 1392527.1 "Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i & R12 Patches Required with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0) on Exadata". It has a detailed list of patch requirements for different combinations of EBS and database versions.

BPM instance migration

Hi,
I have a question regarding bpm instance migration.
Since PS4FP BPM support instance migration of running BPM instances. A very nice and usefull feature. When changing the BPM process, the change done has impact on the possibility to automatically migrate the instance. I encountered three options:
The change to the underlying process is minor --> the process instances are migrated automatically
The change to the underlying process is more complex --> the process instances need to be migrated manually
The change to the underlying process issignificatnt --> the process instance cannot easily be migrated at all. Must be done manually
As we have a lot of running process instances we want to avoid manual migration as much as possible. So when changing the process we want to try to make it a minor change. Is there documentation available describing what causes the instance to be migrated manually or not migratable at all?
Bye, aldo

Aldo,
Any luck with the document for instance migration? I could find only one blog which I referred to - https://blogs.oracle.com/ateamsoab2b/entry/bpm_11g_deployment_instance_migration . I was facing some issues with the manual migration part - altering the request through process workspace.
Can you please share any document you have on this topic.
Thanks,
Bhaskar.

Okay, just tell me now that Mavericks does not support iMovie 6 HD which I have migrated across my devices since it first came out as iMovie 4. If this is true, then I will just jump off the nearest bridge, as I use it as a business.

Okay, just tell me now that Mavericks does not support iMovie 6 HD which I have migrated across my devices since it first came out as iMovie 4 and have supplemented with third party add ons from 3Gee. If this is true, then I will just jump off the nearest bridge, as I use it for my videography business. Since upgrading to Mav, I can not get the program to launch and am getting no pop up to tell me what is going on. It let me open and start a project at first, but then I was half way through and it crashed and I lost everything and now will not launch at all. Does anyone out there still use this magnificent program? Please help—the wedding I just commissioned is on hold and I am not want looking forward to facing a bridezilla.

right now just to get yer work done, get ahold of any OS that will run iM6HD and get it done. then dump MAVRICKS (wait till 10.9.2 at least) and retro back to OSX 10.6..or 10.7 (if you have it). I use FCExpress4 on 10.6....you might want to consider keeping a dedicated mini or something that ONLY runs your editing sw. I have 2 older machines that I will never upgrade because the editing SW wont run on the newwer OSs.
abuve all, be honest with your client. we all got kind of blindsided by this initial relese (like a bug infested matress).
ask if they have any apple stuff that has Mavricks probs. bridzillas only happen when they are out of the loop. Keep them informed. but ...also be ready to duck.
hope this helps.

Instance Migration

One of the features mentioned in the Feature Pack is a thing called "Instance Migration".
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bpm/learnmore/488809
From what I have read it allows one to make a change to the BPM Project/process in BPM Composer and redeploy it without invalidating existing running processes. My question is how is the feature realized? From my experiments all of my existing tasks within a BPM Process become stale and I don't see the feature "Instance Migration" anywhere in BPM Workspace.
Any ideas on this topic?

bump - I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help. Thanks

Ebs instance- refresh database only?

Good morning,
I would like to know, is it possible to do a database refresh only without touching anything to apps binaires in an ebs instance?
Something like, shutdown application, shutdown database. Delete database (datafile, not dbms binaires), bring back backup, recreate control file, recover the database, run the updates to change the prod path for test path for ebs, normal update in the post-clone steps.
Thx~

Thank you very much hussein for replying.
One more clarification
Say i have applied patches on application node and i did not copy the apps file system and cloned only database retaining the target apps file system. In what ways it will effect ,will it fail while running autoconfig on apps tier.
what my assumption is "we will miss out the bug fixes on target node if we do not copy the apps file system from source" apart from this there will be no problem.
2.During patching of source applications ,if the patch would have touched my database ,say creating new sequence,updating any profiles,etc... ,In this case ,will cloning only db part be successful ,keeping the target apps filesystem intact or will it fail.
My assumption is it will fail ,since the application file system might know the the changes that have been made to database.[since it is old application file system on target]
Did you ever use rsync ? can we use rsync during cloning. to just sync the application file system and only refreshing db part.

Mannu

Demantra Integration with R12 EBS instance without APS /ASCP

Will the out of the box integration work without the APS in the R12 EBS instance.
The client runs SCP and does not use APS for this.
The client wants to implement Demantra - so how will the integrations work because there is no APS available ?
Any thoughts would be helpful.
thx and rgds,
Pankaj

Demantra does not integrate with SCP. But You can code such that Demantra output can go into a forecast and then load the forecast into SCP.
