Help in refrshing TEST from PROD database

Hi All,
I need to refresh one of my test server with Production instance from the cold backup.
Please post a detailed steps i need to perform to do this.
Both of databases are in different servers and both are windows servers.
Appreciate helping me to learn.
Regards
Arun

Hi, are you sharing storage between the prod an test database?
If not, why dou want to rename the datafiles?
However, if you want to rename the datafiles, you have to change the datafiles name at S.O. level (I suggest you to copy -duplicate- the datafiles and, once you have renamedthe datafiles and checked that the database works fine, then delete the "old" datafiles).
I don't suggest you to rename system's datafile! (But internet is full of procedures for do it)
For change datafiles names at dabase level (ergo, at logical level) you have to do the following:
startup mount;
and, for each datafile:
alter database rename file 'old_name' to 'new_name';
You can check the old names, and your progress querying the v$datafile view.
I hope this help.
Regards.

Need Help: Generate Customer Data from Prod Database

Hi All,
My company have an Oracle Financial System, with and old version Oracle Application 11.0.3 and Oracle Database 8.0.5. The database name PROD. This system has been use for more than 7 years and in between there were many stuff resigned without handover and therefore many records and supporting steps cannot be trace back. However the system is still keep running and updated daily.
Recently we have a user request to generate out a list of customer company name, and their related products purchase from the database, this is because they does not have any methods to print out the list from application. Unfortunately, we do not know which tables or index is actualy storing the name of the customer and products. We have the list of below users accounts that able to log in to the database.

All the reference documents is no longer exist. I am able to use SQL Plus to generate the list of tables with the command : select table_name from user_tables. Each user accounts will return different kind of table names. But still I cant locate which table that actually storing the name of the customers and products.
Is that anybody got hands on this case before? Urgent

DR restore testing from Prod to DR site

Hi,
I'm planning to test our E-business Suite current enviorenment to DR site by restoring data from current prod to DR site.
Source(Current PROD) = RHEL 5.4 on apps and DB server
11gR2 database version
RAC cluster 11.2.0.2
E-business suite 12.0.6
Traget System (DR ) = RHEL 5.4 on apps and DB server
11gR2 database version
RAC cluster 11.2.0.2
E-business suite 12.0.6
Please let me know what cluster files I need to copy from source to DR site to make sure cluster works. Please let me know if have any advice.
thanks

I'm copying everything's from grid home/oracle home/etc few files etc. The source system has 2 dual node db server and 2 apps tier with load balance but DR(restore site) has 1db and 1 apps tier without Load balancer.Do you mean you have a RAC database on the source nodes and single instance on the target node? Copying the files only is not enough and you need to run preclone on the sources nodes, copy the files (it should be enough from one database node only), and run postclone on the target node.
Thanks,
Hussein

HELP! Displaying results from a database in table format

I'm developing a web application that will use a considerable number of database queries that need to be displayed back to the web-browser in HTML table format.
I have been told that that result sets can allow tables to be built automatically without having to write the same loop and display code over and over.
So far I have a HtmlResultSet class as follows:
import java.sql.*;
public class HtmlResultSet {
private ResultSet rs;
public HtmlResultSet(ResultSet rs) {
this.rs = rs;
public String toString() { // can be called at most once
StringBuffer out = new StringBuffer();
// Start a table to display the result set
out.append("<TABLE>\n");
try {
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
int numcols = rsmd.getColumnCount();
// Title the table with the result set's column labels
out.append("<TR>");
for (int i = 1; i <= numcols; i++) {
out.append("<TH>" + rsmd.getColumnLabel(i));
out.append("</TR>\n");
while(rs.next()) {
out.append("<TR>"); // start a new row
for (int i = 1; i <= numcols; i++) {
out.append("<TD>"); // start a new data element
Object obj = rs.getObject(i);
if (obj != null)
out.append(obj.toString());
else
out.append(" ");
out.append("</TR>\n");
// End the table
out.append("</TABLE>\n");
catch (SQLException e) {
out.append("</TABLE><H1>ERROR:</H1> " + e.getMessage() + "\n");
return out.toString();
I also have created a class that includes an instance of the class above to display the results, as follows:
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class customerLookup2 {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
Connection con = null;
Statement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
try{
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sandywalker");
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head><title> Users</title></head>");
out.println("<body> Customers");
HtmlResultSet result = new HtmlResultSet ("SELECT * FROM USERS");
out.println("</body></html>");
catch(ClassNotFoundException e ) {
out.println("Couldn't load database driver: " + e.getMessage());
catch(SQLException e) {
out.println("SQLExeption caught: " +e.getMessage());
finally {
try {
if (con !=null) con.close();
catch (SQLException ignored) { }
I keep getting a compile error "customerLookup2.java": Error #: 300 : constructor HtmlResultSet(java.lang.String, java.sql.Connection) not found in class HtmlResultSet at line 42, column 34".
Can anyone shed any light on this.

Looks like you are passing a string (SELECT * FROM USERS) instead of passing a ResultSet. Try passing a Resultset.

Moving of EUL from Prod to Replicated Database

Hi All,
I have a question, I have to move EUL from PROD Database to the Replicated Database for good, can i do that in R12? version of the ebiz is 12.1.3 and Discovers EUL has to be moved I know it is quite tightly integrated. Is there a way to perform this task. Your comment and view are Appreciated
Regards
Younus

Ah, that old "dynamically". Which means "Some mysterious process which is too complicated for me to understand", at least that's how it's commonly used in Java language forums.
But it isn't really that mysterious. Given a table, run the query "select * from table". Then use the ResultSetMetaData to find out how many columns you selected. Then create an insert command with that many parameters and build a PreparedStatement from it. For each row in the ResultSet, copy its columns to those parameters and execute the insert.
Or you could use the database's own features to do the copying. Probably more practical than writing "dynamic" Java code anyway.

Cloning a prod database

Suppose I have 2 databases, the prod is running on version 9.2.0.6 on a unix SunOS 5.8 and a test database running 9.2.0.6 on unix SunOS 5.8 (but a different physical box).
The prod server has nightly hot backups and is in archive log mode. Requirement is to clone the production database into the test database. (To make it look exactly the same). In other words, the test can be completely wiped out and everything in prod be brought over. Can this be achieved without a downtime in prod server ? If so, how ? Can I get the steps needed to achieve this ? (I have done a clone before but that involved a cold backup from prod and the prod was affordable for a shutdown, but here that flexibility isn't there)

Hi,
Yes,this is possible to create a clone database from hot backup.
Resore backup into new machine;
startup mount;
rename datafile if required.(if dbf locations is diff then primary database)
recovery database until cancel;
alter database open resetlogs;
**Also apply archivelog that are generated from prod database inbetween the time of creating clone database.
and Recover upto the latest archivelog.
and open with resetlogs option.

Database restore to test from production

Hi,
I am having 500+ GB database running in AIX with ASM. creating disk backups using rman and moving to Test server.. i like to know the commands for restore and recovery from disk to ASM in test server:
Prod server : ASM on AIX single instance
rman database backup to disk (SID : PROD)
ftp to test serverTest server: ASM on AIX single instance
clean up exiting database (SID : TEST)
rman restore and recover command from disk The rman command i am using for backup is :
run
allocate channel backup_disk1 type disk;
allocate channel backup_disk2 type disk;
allocate channel backup_disk3 type disk;
sql "ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT";
backup
format='<path>/Sml_full_bck_%Y%M%D_%d_%s_%p.dbf'
database
plus archivelog
filesperset=1;
backup
format='<path>/Tp_cntl_%Y%M%D_%d_%s_%p.ctl'
current controlfile;
#sql "alter system switch logfile";
release channel backup_disk1;
release channel backup_disk2;
release channel backup_disk3;
What would be ideal command for restore....

we have some issues with network....need to ftp manually after taking backup..i am looking around for the restore command like
run
allocate channel t1 type disk;
restore database from '/<path>' to '+DATA';
recover database;
release channel t1;
just want some clarifications on syntax especially from disk backup restore to ASM disk groups and recover from there..

Migrate DRM application from PROD to TEST environment

How I can migrate all DRM application from PROD to TEST environment. The first way this is using migrate utility and then create all export/import utility. But this way does not give 100% guaranty of identity the PROD and TEST environment.
As relation database I am using Oracle DB. Can I migrate DRM application using exp/imp utility for oracle users (MDM and MDM_DB) and after that changing information directly in oracle tables in the TEST environment?

This response is not timely but others may find it useful...
You can use the Oracle database export and import processes, but there are several additional steps in the process. In general this is a high risk endevour that should not be attempted by the faint of heart. (See #3 below!) Attempt at your own peril.
1) Make a copy of the Username table so that you have the Test versions of the encrypted passwords for DRM internally managed accounts. These will need to be updated post import if there are any differences.
2) After you delete the tables in Test, it's best to create them with the install scripts prior to import because once an Oracle table containing a blob datatype has a stored value the Oracle import is no longer tolerant of changes in target tablespace names for all tables containing blobs within that schema. (Known bug) However, the create tables install script has an insert statement or two that need to be commented out or the import will create duplicate rows that will cause errors enabling constraints.
3) After the import completes all exports and books need to be modified to no longer point to production target locations, especially for exports to database tables! Ideally this step would be completed and QA'd prior to starting the application server; however, the application server must be running if the migration utility is going to be leveraged to propagate these updates so the process I use is to lockout all users until this step is completed.
4) Also note that if the Prod and Test app servers are not using the same authentication settings the system preference needs to be changed or the application server may not start.

Migrate OAF MDS customizations from TEST to PROD from UNIX

1. Copy the the files of JDEV_USER_HOME/jdevbin to TEST or PROD UNIX mid-tier
jdevbin/jdev/appslibrt/oamdsdt.jar
jdevbin/jdev/lib/mdsdt.jar
jdevbin/mds/lib/mdsrt.jar
jdevbin/BC4J/lib/collections.jar
jdevbin/lib/xmlparserv2.jar
jdevbin/jdev/appslibrt/share.jar
jdevbin/jdev/appslibrt/uix2.jar
jdevbin/jdbc/lib/classes12dms.jar
jdevbin/lib/dms.jar
jdevbin/jdev/appslibrt/oamdsdt.jar
2. environment variable for XMLExporter/XMLImporter:
($PRO_LIB is the path pointing to the jar files)
CLASSPATH=\
$PRO_LIB/jdevbin/jdev/appslibrt/oamdsdt.jar:\
$PRO_LIB/jdevbin/jdev/lib/mdsdt.jar:\
$PRO_LIB/jdevbin/mds/lib/mdsrt.jar:\
$PRO_LIB/jdevbin/BC4J/lib/collections.jar:\
$PRO_LIB/jdevbin/lib/xmlparserv2.jar:\
$PRO_LIB/jdevbin/jdev/appslibrt/share.jar:\
$PRO_LIB/jdevbin/jdev/appslibrt/uix2.jar:\
$PRO_LIB/jdevbin/jdbc/lib/classes12dms.jar:\
$PRO_LIB/jdevbin/lib/dms.jar:\
$PRO_LIB/jdevbin/jdev/appslibrt/oamdsdt.jar
3. for -mmddir needed in XMLExporter/XMLImporter:
copy the following files of JDEV_USER_HOME\myhtml\OA_HTML\jrad to TEST or PROD UNIX mid-tier
JRADElementList.xml
OAElementList.xml
UIXElementList.xml
4. Write a Unix shell script to export from TEST and import to PROD. (You may register it in Oracle apps to let the developers to promote it themselves using the assigned responsibility)
Notice:
1. Oracle puts OAF customization together with Oracle seeded customizations. It's impossible to tell them apart just from the OAF MDS document names.
2. Using responsibility_id in the document name to get the application_id from the apps table, you'll get an different application_id than the application_id in the document name.
3. The function_id in the document name is not consistent with the function_id in the apps table. The function_id in apps table has null value.

You may also use a PC to migrate OAF MDS from TEST to PROD. Instead of running an Unix script on the TEST or PROD mid-tier, you may write a batch file and run it on your PC.

Moving the 80 Million records from Conversion database to System Test database (Just for one transaction table) taking too long.

Hello Friends,
The background is I am working as conversion manager and we move the data from oracle to SQL Server using SSMA and then we will apply the conversion logic and then move the data to system test ,UAT and Production.
Scenario:
Moving the 80 Million records from Conversion database to System Test database (Just for one transaction table) taking too long. Both the databases are in the same server.
Questions are…
What is best option?
IF we use the SSIS it’s very slow and taking 17 hours (some time it use to stuck and won’t allow us to do any process).
I am using my own script (Stored procedure) and it’s taking only 1 hour 40 Min. I would like know is there any better process to speed up and why the SSIS is taking too long.
When we move the data using SSIS do they commit inside after particular count? (or) is the Microsoft is committing all the records together after writing into Transaction Log
Thanks

Planning 9.3 Applciation migration from test to prod

Hi Guys,
I wnated to migrate my planning applciation from Test to Production instance,
In both the instances I have Oracle 10g as a repository for my applications.
Please send me the steps to Migrate the same.
My Test instance has one Planning applciation "PlanApp"
In Production I just installed the Planning, I ahve not created any applicaion yet, but wanted to copy from my test instance.
Thanks

Hi,
This topic has been covered quite a few times now on this forum, a bit of searching will give you all the answers you need but in summary :-
Create a new planning app on production
Register with shared services.
Make it is the same admin name account betwen test and prod.
Go into the oracle schema on prod for your app, extract the SID value from the HSP_USERS table where the user_id = 50001
Stop Planning on prod
Take an export of the planning app schema on Test
Import the schema over the top of the schema on Prod
Update the HSP_USERS table with the stored SID value on prod.
Restart Planning.
Cheers
John
