Please help me where I am making mistake.
Thanks

1) I have created single node standard database called mydb in /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 home (hostname linux1)
2) installed crs and asm on linux1 and linux2 and shared storag on ASM(which external HD running ieee1294 cards and ports) . no database is created on linux1 or linux2
3) I want to convert mydb to RAC DATABASE called mydb1 instance on linux1 and mydb2 on linux2 machine respectively.
4) copied and modifed xml as you see above called ConvertTomydb.xml to $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory
5) when I run

  • Error converting DOM nodes into SOAP nodes

    Hi,
    i am doing an http call using http binding activity in oracle soa suite 11g.The http call requires some header information.When I pass the header information through headers in invoke activity and invoke the http call,I get an error " Error converting DOM nodes into SOAP nodes".What might be the reason and how to solve it.

    Hello,
    It appears your code is trying to repeat messagePart itself. Split Joins strictly adheres to a WSDL definition for incoming and outgoing messages.
    Instead of repeating <RootElement> which is defined as single occurance in your message definition within WSDL, you should find a way to tweak the WSDL to have "repetitive node which will become single message after split" within 1 Root element.
    This will call for having need of implementing transformation within split join based on need of target input message. Below is the example:
    WSDL contains:
    <wsdl:message name="inputMessageName">
         <wsdl:part name="partInput" element="rootElement"/>
    </wsdl:message>
    What your current xml structure is(please note how message itself is repeating below while it has been defined as single in wsdl, unfortunately there is nothing maxOccurs for message in WSDL definition , although you can define multiple parts but that is not case here):
    <soap:Body>
    <rootElement>
    </rootElement>
    <rootElement>
    </rootElement>
    <rootElement>
    </rootElement>
    </soap:Body>
    What Split-Join expects(If you have existing wsdl then you need to tweak it to conform to below kind of structure then use transformation within split join to convert it into correct xml structure for outgoing):
    <soap:Body>
    <rootElement>
         <repetitiveElementSpecificToIndividualSplitRequest/>
         <repetitiveElementSpecificToIndividualSplitRequest/>
         <repetitiveElementSpecificToIndividualSplitRequest/>
    </rootElement>
    </soap:Body>
    I hope this helps.

  • Oracle Single Node RAC - Oralce Clusterware Install

    Hi
    I want to install Oracle Clusterware to perform Active / Passive failiver for a 2 node cluster
    I plan to use Oracle Single Node RAC for this and have Oracle Clusterware control the active passive failover.
    However - I do not want to use ASM in any of my set-up.
    We have a NetApp filer and are using NFS / NetApp technologies to control backups (Oracle snap manager).
    Is this possible?
    All the documents I have include reference to ASM
    If I try and install Grid - I am also asked for ASM information.
    I find ASM an un-necessary overhead given the storage we have and do want to use it,
    Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    no you don't need ASM to have RAC One Node. OCR and Voting disk can be on NFS, simply use Shared Disk location during installation, and you won't get asked about ASM.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/storage.htm#CDECEBGH
    Especially http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/storage.htm#CDEDAHGB
    What you should use in conjunction with NFS however is dNFS.

  • 9ir2 Single Node RAC + RH80

    Hi all.
    I'm triying to install a single node RAC based in the single node rac for linux document in the metalink.
    The document was made based in a oracle 9iR1 database an RH71, I have followed the steps and i have a working kernel made by my own, the raw devices, and softdog hacked for being testing only. But the service does not go up.
    I don't know if someone have made a single node rac instalation and can help me to choose the right pieces.
    I don't have a RHAS2.1 but I do have a UnitedLinux 1.0 Server Patched.
    I want to try the RAC tech but here (ecuador-sudamerica) is dificult to find firewire cards and disks so I´m working around a single node instalation.
    Any help will be apreciate.

    Hi
    Database version and GI versions are 11.2.0.2.2. And these are not multinode RAC configuration at any given time only single instance will be there for any given database. Some thing like ACTIVE and PASSIVE in hardware clusters such are VCS (Veritas Clusters).
    I agree with you failover sinario in multi node (2 or more) RAC environments. In single node clustering only one instance will be there, like services in multinode, here whole instance will be re created on available nodes.

  • Verification of steps to convert Single Node to RAC

    Hi Forum
    I have a single node Oracle E-Biz 12.1.3 Installation.
    We plan to convert this to a dual node RAC install and I wanted to run by the steps to perform this AND clone over the current production system to the new RAC system
    (note this will not be using ASM - but will be based on NetApp NFS)
    1. Install GRID 11.2.0.3
    - installed acorss two nodes, Binaries can be shared
    - voting disks / cluster rigistry MUST be shared
    2. Install Database Software for RAC
    - Binaries cannot be shared and must be installed on each node independently
    3. Configure the GRID for database (database / listeners)
    4. Clone over the stand alone system (clone database as RAC)
    I will be using SCAN - and therefore would expect all the web services / concurrent manager nodes to point to the SCAN hostname as opposed to individual host names,
    Are there any decent technical notes out there that will help please?
    Is there any HUGE miss I have made here
    Thanks in anticipation

    Hi,
    I belive googling "single node to RAC" should give you a lot of articles and you can select any article based on your source database version and new version (11.2).
    Since it is EBS database, probabl posting question on EBS forums will give you answer faster because you will find a lot of apps DBAs who would already have done this.

  • CONVERTING TWO NODE  RAC ON WINDOWS TO SINGLE INSTANCE

    I got question about a two node RAC on Windows.
    One of our vendors is hosting our oracle enviroment and we are planning to bring in the datacenter in house and manage it ourselves.
    Current they have a two node RACon windows
    The new enviroment we are building here , we want to get rid of RAC and bring it back to a single instance environment.
    How do i approach this?
    1. My first option was to create a new database server and do the export dp from one of the node and import to the new single instance enviroment.
    My conncern is can you do export from RAC database and import it to a non RAC enviroment?
    2. My second option is to delete one node on the two node RAC and then do export dump or cold backup and copy the database files and necessary config files.
    let me know how i can approach this.....

    Okay guys after digging aroung i found the following approach.....
    Cloning Oracle 10gR2 from RAC Environment to Single Instance Environment will raise the following error
    ORA-29702: Error occurred in Cluster Group Service Operation.
    The new instance is looking for CRS on new single instance non RAC environment.
    For UNIX platform follow the following steps:
    - Shutdown the instance which is cloned to non RAC.
    - Shutdown all the listeners.
    - Relink Oracle executable with rac_off option.
    $ make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_off
    $ make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle
    - Remove all the parameters from init.ora which points to second instance
    and it is on other node.
    - Remove cluster_database parameter
    - Remove undo_tablespace parameter which points to second instance
    For Windows Platform follow the following steps:
    - Shutdown the instance which is cloned to non RAC.
    - Shutdown all the listeners.
    - Rename following file in %ORACLE_HOME%/bin directory: orarac10.dll to orarac10.dll.bak
    Give me your thoughts, there is nothing on Metalink....

  • Single Node RAC on 11.2.0.3

    Hi All,
    i have implemented Rac One node with two machine(dbtest01,dbtest02) in 11.2.0.3 Redhat 5.3 one for online another one for offline. i have created TAF also.
    dbtest01 is online and created one query
    DECLARE
    i number(36):=1;
    begin
    while(i<10000000)
    loop
    dbms_output.put_line(i);
    i:=i+1;
    end loop;
    end;
    i executed above query for test and i made relocate database using srvctl utility to dbtest02 machine.
    session is relocated successfully with new session id...
    above query getting stop in 25000 itself.
    i want to make it continue that process...
    also i tried to find Omotion utility in all the path.. couldn't find it... where will it be..
    i want to relocate all the session without losing work.
    from application i am getting disconnect after relocation.. application server need to restart to get work again...

    Hi Friend
    Point 1 : Omtion utility will not come with Oracle Binaries. We have to download the separate patch for that.
    Patch is : p9004119_112010_<OS>
    example : p9004119_112010_LINUX
    To use Oracle RAC One Node Utilities, you must apply patch 9004119 to your 11.2.0.1 database home.
    NOTE: You must have Oracle RAC software home on any node in the cluster where you could relocate (using Omotion) the Oracle RAC One Node instance or where it could failover to if the original node fails. You will be asked for this candidate list of nodes during the initialization of Oracle RAC One Node.
    Solution is :
    *1. Download the above patch*
    *2. Download the this document - "ug_raconenode-2009.pdf" (Step By St*ep Document)

  • Single to rac using dbca

    i am trying to convert single node to rac using dbca. (11.2.0.3 on Linux5 )
    During the template, creation i am choosing the Structure only Option ( I am not backing up the data ie., structure as well as data) as the
    single instance running (TEST) is on the same cluster and i want to retain the datafile path also which is already on shared storage.
    While creating db using template for rac conversion, the dbca screen doesn't proceed further after choosing the Storage.
    All, i wanted to know, if this way it is possible or not.. ie without backup.   The documentation says only about taking the backup along with strcuture.
    I know rconfig works fine in this way; why not dbca.

  • Why we need to conver Context  Node data into XML file----Export to Excel

    Hi All,
    Let me clarify my dought........today i have gone through the concept of  "Exporting Context Data Using the Webdynpro Binary cache" in SAP Online Help.
    From the SAP Online Help pdf document, i have found that, the context node data has been converted first in to XML file,after that file had been stored in the web dynpor binary cache...bla....bla.........
    Here my qtn is why they had converted context node data into XML file. With out doing that can not we export context node data to excel file..?

    Hi Sesshanna,
    it is not neccessary to do that but xml has the advantage, that it can be easily transformed into every output format that might occur in later project stages.
    If it's simply about blowing out some Excel, I suggest using an OSS library such as jexcelAPI or Jakarta POI and building the Excel how you need it.

  • Install a grid infrastructure for a cluster for single node Windows Server

    Hello,
    Can you suggest me how to install a Oracle Single Node RAC 11g on a Windows Server 2008 x64 bits? It's for testing purposes and I don't need two nodes. I know that Linux is better, but my company only uses Windows servers. Our former consultant was able to do it, but didn't tell us how to and that server was lost.
    I know that we have to install first Grid Infrastructure. Running the "Oracle Grid Infrastructure" installer, I could successfully install a "Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server". But that grid is not for a RAC database. When trying to install the Database software, it allowed to me to only install "Single instance database", not "Real Application Cluster database installation".
    Running the "Oracle Grid Infrastructure" installer, I tried to select option:
    "Install and Configure Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster" -> Typical Installation:
    SCAN Name: SRVORAC-cluster
    Validating SCAN information
    INS-40922 Invalid SCAN Name - unresolvable to IP address.
    Is it possible to install a grid infrastructure for a cluster for a single-node or one-node Windows Server ?
    Edited by: user521219 on Jan 30, 2012 12:46 PM

    HI,
    You probably have misconception about Single node RAC. This feature does not need that you have only one physical machine in a RAC, it actually means that in a RAC environment (2 or more nodes), you can run your database on only one node(single instance) and then later you can move this single instance to any other node of the RAC (so that you can do some patching on this node making your database available all the time). This also has some other benefits, see bellow.

  • 10g single node install

    How best to slice disk drives? Single Node install on a Sun V480 (2 cpu's @ 900mhz, 2 disk drives @ 36gb each), solaris operating system. For my test server I will install all 10g components. How best to distribute the 10g load (oraInventory, appserver, infrastructure, Metadata Repository) between the two disk drives?

    Part of the installation involves the installer installing CRS software on the other nodes, creating the ASM and RAC instances and so on.
    All this is done in an automated fashion - requiring each node to be prepped accordingly, ssh keys generated, public keys distributed and added to authorised keys and so on.
    None of these installation steps (all critical) will be part of a "single node" RAC install.
    In fact, the prepping part is even more critical and complex than the actual installation - if done properly the installation will be smooth and painless. If not... you will run into all kinds of problems. And this is often the case as one has to deal with getting the shared devices to be seen by all nodes, ensure consistent device mappings across all nodes, ensure that multipath (load balancing) I/O works, etc.
    For this at least 2 nodes are required. For actual proper RAC testing itself, even 2 nodes do not suffice and at least 3 are needed.
    IMO you are pretty much wasting your time as no real practical RAC installation lessons will be learned mucking about with RAC and a single VM.
