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.

  • How to setup a Multi-instance standby database?

    I was asked to setup a multi-instance standby database for a multi-instance primary database. I understand that only one of the instance will apply redo logs from the primary database, but how about the other instance? Should I mount that instance just to update the standby control file(the control file is not located in shared file system with the cluster server) even if it isn't going to apply any redo logs?
    I am so confused now. Hope somebody will help me on that. Any document or tutorial will be helpful too.
    Note that I am not using dataguard.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    You can set up multiple instance standby..where in each instance will receive the archive logs from correpsonding primary instance. Keep them on shared location (say ASM) so that one of the instances from where recovery is started can access the archive logs and apply it.
    So basically
    Primary instance A <----- send archive to ---> Standby A
    Primary instance B <----- send archive to ---> Standby B
    Start managed recovery on A
    Standby A --- > Apply archives for instance A and B

  • Refresh database and another is create database

    Hi All,
    In the Hyperion planning under the administration menu there are two option, one is refresh database and another is create database.
    Is there any way to hide/delete or not give the access to users of ”create database” option? I mean other than admin I don’t want any users to see “create database option” once they login.
    Thank you

    There is no option to hide the create database button, but the good news is the planning users won't be able to see that option anyways. Due to the provisioning, only Admins have access to the Administation Menu.

  • Refresh database structure

    Hello !
    I'm using VB.net 2013 , Entity Framework 6 , SQL server 2008R2 and SMO.
    I have the application that use the database.
    But sometime I make changes to database structure , and I want to add to my application a "Refresh Database" command.
    Let's say that I have a database model called "Model" ( as a .bak file). The refresh command should compare the current database with this model and after make all the changes needed to make the current database up to date according to model.
    How this can be done using SMO ?
    Thank you !

    Do you think that creating a new database and migrating data it's more easy ?
    Let's get an example :
    The new Model.bak contains only a new field in one of the tables comparing with the current database.
    Do you think that only for 1 field , I should create a new database and migrate thousand of records ? After that of course I should make additional work to make this "New database" connect with my program because I use Entity framework that
    is created with wizard on design time with the database ( that have a specific name ) , and the new database have another name.
    So I think is more easy to add this new field to the current database ( so make a "Refresh" )  and end of the story.
    what do you think ?
    thank you !
    Hi dcode25,
    For such a scenario adding only one more field, what you should do in the upgrade is neither to restore nor to "refresh", the only approach is to run the ALTER table script to add the column when your upgrade wizard fires. This approach should be
    applied to the cases that there's not much modification in your "model". For the cases which are more complex, the restore and migration is the option.
    If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

    Hello !
    I think that the conversion now is transformed in how we  should call this process.
    Why you don't like the word "Refresh". I like to call this process refresh , but we can call how we want.
    The point is that I want to do this process within my application . I don't know what do you mean with "When your upgrade wizard fire ?"
    Is possible to use the Alter table script in vb.net inside my application and what are the steps ? But of course I want to make this process general so regardless of how many field are added , this process should work. But how can I compare first the
    current database with new model to find out what are the changes that I should made ?
    And what you consider  "too much modification "
    The modifications on new "Model.Bak" may  be :
    - One (or some ) field(s) are added to one (or several )  existing table(s).
    - One (or some ) field(s) are deleted to one (or several )  existing table (s).
    - One (or some ) field(s) in one (or several )  existing table (s) have a different type.
    - A new table is added to database
    - A new table is added that have a new relationship with an existing table
    - 2 or more new tables are added that may have relationship between each other.
    On your opinion , which of these modifications can be done without migration and inside my application ?
    For the others , why do you think that cannot be done without migrating ? Because it's impossible to do , or is difficult ?
    In my opinion ( of course I can be wrong because I don't know ) these may be the steps :
    1) Get one by one the tables in "Model.Bak"
    2) With each table , first detect if this exist in the current database
    3) If not exist , create the table ( or copy from Model ???? I don't know if can be done ).
    4) If exist , compare one by one the fields , and if a field doesn't exist , add the new field. If a field exist but has a different type , change the type. After detect if one of fields in current database doesn't exist on model. If so , delete that field.
    5) If a new relationship exist , add the new relationship
    If you agree with these steps , which of them may be impossible to be done ?
    Or if can be done , how can I realize each of these steps inside my program in vb.net ?
    Thank you !

  • ITunes refresh database (updating songs tags)

    I've been looking for a solution for ages!!
    I have almost 100 000 songs, and I like it clean! So I often spend hours cleaning tags, making sure everything is perfect (Artist, Album, Year, Categories).
    I don't want to use the iTunes auto managing thing, because I don't want iTunes to duplicate my songs in his own folder because there's too much to even think about using twice the space needed...
    My setup is simple, I have a data partition on my HD and it's F:/Music (Then all artist has his folder, and a folder for albums...)
    When I clean my Tags, I have to play the song in iTunes (only 1 second) and it updates the changes I made. But I don't want to click them all to see my changes...
    And I don't want to delete/redo my library because I really need the Play Count feature (for my Smart Playlist auto syncing with my iPhone)
    So, is there a "refresh database" button somewhere? That won't change nothing but the update the actual tags ?
    Thank you guys!
    PS : I know there's other similar answer but it doesn't do what I want to do!

    Thank man, your scripts are amazing!
    I have one more question about artworks.
    I have a very large music library and artworks are taking a lot of place and I'd like to free some space by managing it in a better way.
    Actually, I have some artwork managed by iTunes (it creates a folder "Album Artwork") and put the front picture to every song so I can see it if i'm scrolling in iTunes or on my iPhone. It is great but the folder is taking a few GB. iTunes cannot find all the cover (30-40%), so I don't really want to let iTunes manage it. I also have some front cover as a JPG file in the album folder and with my Tag Editor I can add the picture file to the music files and then delete the original JPG files and it keeps showing the artwork without taking a lot of spaces.
    My question is : Can I delete all those iTunes files created in the folder
    Music\iTunes\Album Artwork\Download\9406062996C08529\00\02\14\9406062996C08529-5C28FB7E1EBD0E20.it c2
    Can I simply add my cover myself with my Tag Editor and then delete all the cover related files?
    What would you suggest me? (Music library is about 100 000 songs)
    I hope my question is clear and makes sense, this is the last thing I need to fix to have my perfect music library.
    Thank for your time buddy!

  • 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.

  • Refreshing Database From Planning

    Hello,
    I have three datases in my Planning application.
    I am going to perform a refresh from Planning to Essbase.
    Is it possible to control which database is refreshed?
    - If so, please tell me how. or point me to a resource I can use as a guide.
    Or do I have to refresh all three every time I perform a refresh?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    user1651519 wrote:
    I am a little hung up on this - so please forgive me - I think I need a bit more clarification.
    I have Essbase and Planning installed on separate servers.
    Application: BUDGET
    Database: Sales
    Finance
    If I use the following command:
    HspCubeRefresh.Cmd /A:<application_name> /U:<user_name> [P:<password>]
    C [D] [F[S|V]][RMIPORT:<rmi_port>] [L] [DEBUG])
    [R] - Specifies a refresh
    [D] - Specifies the database for the refresh
    So if I specify my Sales database - to me this looks like I will only be pushing my Sales metadata from Planning to Essbase.
    Am I incorrect?
    If I am correct - then the Finance database metadata is not refreshed from Planning - Right?
    Why would the command allow me to specify a database if it is going to force a refresh of all databases in that application?
    Dave,
    You need not specify any database name at /D. It is just to let planning know that you want to refresh database.
    You have two options when you do a refresh.
    1. database
    2. security filters
    /D specifies that you are gonna refresh database and by default it will update changes to all databases( nothing needs to be mentioned in specific). /F specify that you are gonna refresh filters. You can use both parameters as well.
    I suggest you to look at the planningweb goto administration--->manage database. This will give you a clear picture of what a Refresh does.
    Hope this helps!
    Hope this helps!

  • Refresh Database

    Hi All,
    I have migrated hyperion 9.3.1 to 11.1.2 and i have some problem when refresh database to update essbase cube.
    I have 3 db and detacted in Manage Dimension> performance setting as Plan1, Plan2, and Plan3
    But when i refrash database only Plan1 created on Essbase.
    Could you please let me know how to created all db from Planning To Essbase?
    Thanks

    When doing a refresh from Planning, all databases are refreshed.
    Did you try doing a "Create" instead of "Refresh the first time? Be aware that if you have uploaded data in Plan1, it would get deleted with a Create Database. So be ready for that if you want to try this route.

  • 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.
    Regards
    Mohammed.Abdul Muqeet

    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.

  • 10.2.0.4 patch on single instance standby database

    Hi All,
    We have production database 10.2.0.3 running with RAC having 2 nodes on Solaris 10. We have patched this
    databases to 10.2.0.4 (both nodes) on production without any issue.
    We have a physical standby database (10.2.0.3) with 2 nodes on solaris 10. But we have stopped node2 sometime
    back and currently it's a single instance standby database. Whe nwe are trying to apply patch to standby dataabse
    it's showing both node during installation and installation fails when it tries to search for node2.
    What's the solution for this problem? Any document on how to patch the single instance standby database when
    production is running in RAC.

    I think you are basically saying that you have a 2 node RAC cluster with 1 node down (possibly permanently) and you want to just patch 1 of the nodes?
    It's not overly a surprise the installer is trying to patch the other node, when as far as your inventory is concerned you have a 2 node cluster.
    Have you tried running the installer with the -local option?
    This should just patch your local node. Obviously the dictionary changes will get applied via MRP from the primary db.

  • List of instance and databases

    My sql server contains multiple instances and each instance contains multiple databases.
    Now how to list of all the instances and their corresponding databases?
    i used select * from sys.servers for instances and sys.databases for number of databases.
    But how to list of all the instances and databases using single query?

    Hi
    List all Instances
    option 1: Pwershell

    Option 2:  query this registry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server.....
    Option 3: go to regitry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names
    * Here you can find other option like OLTP and not just SQL
    Option 4: RUN -> services.msc
    Find all services named "SQL Server". The instance name is in the brakets
    Option 5: Open sql server configuration manager -> SQL Server Services
    There are more options if you need :-)
