Fail Safe documentation pointers incorrect

The link for the Oracle Fail Safe 3.3.1 error message file is pointing to the 2.2.1 tutorial (for both
PDF and HTML). A customer has requested that this be fixed.
The problem link is at the following URL:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/windows/failsafe/content.html

Ingrid,
Thank you (and the customer) for identify this... Firstly, to get to the correct document please use the following URL's

RMAN Automatic backup/recovery with oracle fail safe, windows cluster

Hello,
I have question,
1) Whether it is possible to do "RMAN Automatic Backup and recovery" in environment as ?
Environment: -
a. Windows clustering with windows server 2003 Enterprise Edition R2 (Two Node Clustering)
b. Shared disk ( RAID )
c. Oracle 10g standard edition one
d. Oracle fail safe v3.3.3 (for redundancy)
Here we have single oracle instance operating on single database whose files are located on shared disk.
2) If answer to above question is yes please specify if there is some good documentation to it.
Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rahul

You just need to make sure that the RMAN scripts are always able to connect to the target database instance whether instance runs on cluster node 1 or cluster node 2
here, If oracle services(resources) will shift from Node1 to Node2 (due to media or any failure) during RMAN Backup then there will be break in connection, will it destroy my backup or will it get started automatically without any harm?
and also I want to know,
Do we need to setup another server which will have RMAN backup script running?

ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: Incorrect function

Hello,
I am calling a windows bat file using dbms_scheduler and getting the following error. I have searched the forum and the internet and tried different switches and options. None of them solved my problem.
Oracle Version: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
OracleJobScheduler is running as a service
Error starting at line 1 in command:
execute GET_RESULTS();
Error report:

27369. 00000 - "job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: %s"
*Cause:    A problem was encountered while running a job of type EXECUTABLE.
The cause of the actual problem is identified by the exit code.
*Action:   Correct the cause of the exit code and reschedule the job.
Here is the code for scheduler
      dbms_output.put_line(os_commandline || utlPath || fileSeparator || 'get.bat >nul')
      dbms_scheduler.create_job
      (   job_name          =>'PS_GET_RESULTS'
            , job_action        => os_commandline || utlPath || fileSeparator || 'get.bat >nul'
            , job_type          =>'executable'
            , enabled           =>false
            , auto_drop         =>false
            , start_date        =>systimestamp
      dbms_scheduler.run_job(job_name =>'PS_GET_RESULTS');The dbs_output prints a line which shows that the parameters os_commandline, utlPath and fileSeparator are set correctly.
     C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /q /c E:\UTLDir\get.bat >nulThe windows file (get.bat) is:
     "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\Winscp.exe" /script=e:\utldir\get_resultsThis batch file passes a script file to the executable winscp.exe to get files from another server.
The script file (get_results) is:
     option batch abort
     option confirm off
     open sftp://username:password@ipnumber:port -hostkey="ssh-rsa 1024 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
     cd /usr/dropbox/
     option transfer binary
     get *.results E:\UTLDir\Results\
     close
     exitI tested the batch file directly and works fine and "gets" the files from the server. But, invoking from Oracle dbms_scheduler fails with ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: Incorrect function.
Appreciate your help and time in suggesting additional guidelines or pointers.
Thanks,
Rose

Here is an update, if somebody else is having a similar problem.
The ftp command "cd" to change the directories should be an absolute path. I was given a path "/usr/dropbox/", but on the server it actually corresponds to "/usr/local/apps/dropbox/". After updating the directory path, the scheduler worked fine in invoking the batch file for transferring the files.
Thanks,
Rose

Migrating oracle 9i from Fail safe to Oracle RAC

We are planning to migrate our Oracle 9i database from Fail safe to Oracle RAC. Does anybody has any experience to share? Where can I find the documentation about this?
Regards
Tariq

FailSafe Cluster and RAC are completely different architectures, there's no direct migration path. Export the 9i database and import into a fresh RAC database.
At the same time move to 11gR2.

Adding 2nd Database in FAIL-SAFE

Hi all,
We have oracle fail-safe setup on oracle 10G windows 64-bit. we need to add one more instance(database) to the existing fail-safe. I have no idea how can i do it and not able to find any relevant documentation.
Appreciate if you can help me. this is very very urgent please help
Thanks in advance.

Aijaz

The main failsafe download page is here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/failsafe/index.html
The documentation for failsafe is here:

Regarding Oracle fail safe

Hi,
We have to use Oracle fail safe in our environment (windows server 2003 R2 64 bit with Oracle 10g 64 bit).
Please if anybody have doc for this please provide and which version will be compatible.
Regs,
Brijesh

Hi Brijesh,
I used Oracle fail safe for Oracle AS 10GR2 and for Oracle 9iR2 Active / Passive cluster. Most of the documentation is provided by Oracle, and yes it helped me a lot to configure the setup. The links provided by Helios are sufficient for this.
May be you should refer this Doc as well from Oracle Metalink - Oracle Support
1) "Oracle Fail Safe Frequently Asked Questions : General Doc ID: Note:60787.1 "
2) "Oracle Fail Safe Step-By-Step Installation and Configuration Doc ID: Note:74009.1"
Cheers

Fail safe logic needed for purchase order upload program

Hello all,
i am working on creating PO's by reading data from a text file. I need to implement fail safe logic in it, which is to make sure this program uploads all the records in the text file successfully. For example, i have 1000 records in my text file and while running the upload program if the program times out while creating the 500th PO or if SAP is down at that time, then we have 499 PO's created and 501 yet to be created. But if we run the same program again, we will generate duplicate PO's for 499 again. I want to avoid this kind of problem.
How do i implement this idea?
Kindly guide me on this.
Thanks.

Ok ..
Then I would suggest you use Application Log to keep the success and error messages of PO processing.
You can check trsnaction SLG0 and create your own application log object.
Then you need to use FMs BAL_LOG_* to crate and add messages to it.
This way you will have a facility to check as which of your records are converted to PO for a run.
In case SAP gets down in between , still you can find the details using Xn SLG1 and then accordingly remove the records from your file which are already converted to PO.
Thanks,
Ram

Error in Creating the Oracle Fail Safe Group during installation on MSCS

Hi All,
I am installing ECC 6 dual stack on MSCS.
I have done steps till CI installation as per installation guide.
I am gettig the following error in the step "Creating the Oracle fail safe group" while changing physical hostname into the virtual databse hostname using configtool in secure store parameter jdbc/pool/<SAPSID>Url as per the installation guide.
"Error occurred while working with configuration(scanning)
MSG:Error while connecting to the database"
I think it is not accepting the virtual hostname.
In our scenario CI is running CI node and DB instance is running on DB node.
I have followed the steps as per the installation guide.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Database - Oracle 10g,OS is Windows server 2008 enterprse edition.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
1) did you stop the CI before making the modifications as stated in the installation guide?
     Yes
2) is your database currently running on the same physical cluster node as your CI?
    No.Database instance is running on DB node and CI is on CI node.
3) is your database online?
     Yes,it is up and running
Please let me know if there is anyway to resolve this issue.

Hi Joel,
how about following the advice given by the error message and moving the mentioned files/folder (init<sid>_OFS.ora, AUDIT folder) to a clustered resource disk?
just my 2 pence...

Im having trouble getting my macbook pro to boot up after a fail safe boot, im getting as far as the grey screen with the apple loggo. so im trying to run a disk repair but is saying the disk is locked, how do i unlock disk??

Some clarification may help.
You say you cannot boot normally. It shows a gray screen with the Apple logo.
Did you say it will boot successfully in Safe Mode (boot, then hold down the Shift key)?
How did you boot the machine to run Disk Utility? (Which keyboard combinations)?
