High Availabilty Solutions for Oracle R12.

Hi Gurus,
We are looking for a HA solution for our R12 E-Business Suite. Currently we have options like HP Service Guard from HP.
Kindly provide me your valuable suggestion for HA solution from Oracle side.
Please kindly provide me the details as well like 'Licensing, Advantages, Disadvantages, pre-requistes, ease of Adminstation etc.
Highly appreciating your replies.
Thanks.

Thanks for your replies. Does Oracle RAC need extra licensing?Absolutely, yes. RAC is neither cheap nor free. ;-)
I would like to have enough information before i can go to our sales representative.
Actually i am planning to give presentation on High Avaialability options for Oracle R12.
and i assume i will be asked for the lisensing. i need your helpA conversation with your Oracle Sales representative will be far more informative than asking questions about licensing on these forums. If you want baseline information about license costs, you can check the Oracle Store (https://oraclestore.oracle.com), but you may be able to negotiate a better rate with Oracle Sales.
Update: In other words, "what Hussein said." I really need to refresh these threads more often when composing a reply, especially if I wander away and come back. ;-)
Regards,
John P.

Need help for learning how to develop interfaces for Oracle R12 EBS

Hi all,
I need to learn how to create interfaces in PL/SQL for Oracle R12 EBS Financials. I cannot find a good starting point for the documentation and examples to help me get started in this area. Would appreciate tips
for this area.

Hi,
What kind of interfaces you are planning to develop?
Oracle already provides list of APIs that can be used (in R12, it is responsibility).
Oracle Integration Repository Documentation Resources Release 12 [ID 396116.1]
Oracle Integration Repository
http://irep.oracle.com/index.html
If those APIs do not satisfy your requirements, you can refer to "Oracle Applications Developer" guide as well as SQL-PL/SQL guides.
Applications Releases 11i and 12
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/applications-167706.html
Database Documentation -- SQL-PL/SQL

Looking for a clone solution for Oracle WebCenter Content, Imaging and related products

Hi,
We are looking for a manual or automated cloning solution for Oracle WebCenter Content (UCM), Imaging (ICM) and related products. Oracle FMW has T2P cloning option, but we are looking for more specific to just this product to clone and configure (if needed). Any help is appreciated.

Hi
Assuming you have set up Purchasing with accrual method on receipt (and not on period end), you could enter the PO lines with receipt required. The receipt transactions you are uploading will generate the accounting to charge the expense accounts / or inventory valuation account.
There is no need to interface those also to Payables. In AP enter one invoice with the real monthly amount and match it to the purchase order level or to the receipts level. Approve and pay that invoice.

DR solution for OracleAS Portal 10g

Hi
I have to think about a disaster recovery (DR) solution for OracleAS Portal10g.
Location1: Primary
Location2: DR System
SAN Storage used between Location1 + 2.
The disaster case happens only once a year. (test)
In DR case, OS technical It would be possible to use the same DNS (hostname) on Location 2 like Location 1.
Oracle advises to use Dataguard or cluster solutions.
Do you know if our way would be a walkable and supportable way?
Thanks

This is a worthwhile course, but not for learning about Oracle Instant Portal (which was released after the Build Corporate Portals course was written). The best place to start finding out about Oracle Instant Portal is the self-paced Oracle By Example (OBE) tutorial, Building Instant Portals with Oracle Instant Portal. The tutorial also has links to a couple of viewlets, which you should find helpful.

I'm looking for Failover/High available solutions for IPS 4200 Series

Hi all,
I tried to find out Failover/High available solutions for IPS 4200 series,I didn't saw failover solutions in IPS guide document. Anybody can be help me!

I do not know if this is documented anywhere, but I can tell you what I do. As long as the IPS 4200 has power, with the right software settings, the unit can fail such that it will pass traffic. Should the unit loose power, it does stop all traffic. I run a patch cable in parallel with the in line IPS unit, in the same VLAN, with a higher STP cost. Thus all traffic will traverse the IPS unit when possible, but should something happen to it, a $10 patch cable takes over.

Good/robust/high performance solution for calling Java from C

Hi,
I am looking for a good/robust/high performance solution for invoking a local java component from a C application in Windows.
About Java component:
- It has multiple methods that would be called very frequently from C application
- It will reside in local machine. This machine may not have access to internet/LAN.
My preference is to implement this java component as indepent running exe and have C application make outprocess calls. Is this possible?
Any help/suggestions on this are greatly appreciated
Thanks,

I will stop replying to this conversation, unless it
remains professional and without getting personal.I suggest you read your replies again then since you were the one that strayed from the topic and referred to my competency.
>
Or conversely those that have been working with JNIfor close to 10 years >might have a different opinion
that someone who is promoting a commercial >product?
I cannot see anything wrong with sharing and letting
people know of potential solutions that might help to
solve their problems.Not a problem at all.
You however stated an absolute. I asked you to back up that absolute with something that was objective.
You then lashed out at me and questioned my competency.
>
So you are questioning my competence as well as myintent?
And not bothering to address the question at all.
I am guessing you haven't actually attempted tocompare JNI to on board >sockets but instead you are
just guessing.
Frankly, I don't see how a socket solution with
process switching overhead is going to work faster
than a direct method call, passing parameters over
the stack, the whole operation taking place
in-process.
And thus, as I thought, you haven't actually attempted to compare the two.
And in terms of competency I can only wonder if youare competent enough
to write the test frameworks that would demonstrateone or the other.
As said earlier, there is no need to get personal,
let's keep professional!
And as I said earlier I would suggest that you look to your own replies.
As mentioned, I do have enough experience for those
who need to interoperate with Java using JNI, and can
show how to do it in a safe and productive manner.
And as I have said for the third time now that has nothing to do with what I actually asked you.
The code that someone writes via JNI has much lessusage, and thus is much >more likely to have
problems. Even if someone is competent in creating
JNI >and C code.
Thus JNI Is less stable.
And by the way that includes the commercial productthat you are promoting >as well.
Expressing an opinion on a product just based on its
underlying technology without proper evaluation
doesn't sound like constructive criticism.
So you are claiming that your product is in fact more stable than the VM or at least as stable even though it has had far, far less usage?
The only thing that can be said about the product so
far, it that a product that is in production for some
years without any problems, has a certain level of
reliability and quality, whatever the underlying
technology might be, and that there is enough
competency with JNI to produce it and advice about
the technology.
True. But you were the one that brought up unrelated issues and then, as best as I can tell, thought to challenge my knowledge by pointing out how VMs "really" work.

Work around/Alternate solution for Oracle error ORA-01460 and ORA-02063

After the installation of Oracle.DataAccess version 2.111.7.20, I get the following error.(the code worked fine with Oracle.DataAccess version 9.2.0.700 )
I have attached the error as well as the sample code.
ORA-01460 and ORA-02063 are known bugs in the new ODP but would like to know if there is any Work around/Alternate solution for this problem(other than
the use of stored procs)..
Thanks!
Error:
ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested
ORA-02063: preceding line from BSREAD_STAGINGRO at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException.HandleErrorHelper(Int32 errCode, OracleConnection conn, IntPtr opsErrCtx, OpoSqlValCtx* pOpoSqlValCtx, Object src, String procedure, Boolean bCheck)
at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException.HandleError(Int32 errCode, OracleConnection conn, String procedure, IntPtr opsErrCtx, OpoSqlValCtx* pOpoSqlValCtx, Object src, Boolean bCheck)
at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand.ExecuteReader(Boolean requery, Boolean fillRequest, CommandBehavior behavior)
at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand.ExecuteReader()
SampleCode
private bool isValidFieldData(string clientName, string fieldNumber, string uniqueID, string clientID)
using (OracleConnection mBSConnection = new OracleConnection(mBSConnectionString))
OracleDataReader oRdr = null;
OracleCommand Valid_FieldData_Command = null;
try
Valid_FieldData_Command = new OracleCommand();
Valid_FieldData_Command.Connection = mBSConnection;
Valid_FieldData_Command.CommandText = "SELECT uniqueid FROM EXTDB.BSData WHERE agencyid = :agencyid and agencyname=:agencyname AND fieldnumber =:fieldnumber AND uniqueid = :uniqueid";
Valid_FieldData_Command.Parameters.Add(":agencyid", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 255).Value = agencyID;
Valid_FieldData_Command.Parameters.Add(":agencyname", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 255).Value = agencyName;
Valid_FieldData_Command.Parameters.Add(":fieldnumber", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 255).Value = fieldNumber;
Valid_FieldData_Command.Parameters.Add(":uniqueid", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 255).Value = uniqueID;
mBSConnection.Open();
oRdr = Valid_FieldData_Command.ExecuteReader(); ->Error occurs here
The error occurs whenever the length of any of the parameter is increased. But there is no specific length where it is breaking down.
For example in this case, it breaks down with the given error if
agencyID > 8
agencyName > 6
fieldNumber > 9
uniqueid > 6

The problem was mapping input parameter type.
VARCHAR2-type mapping input parameter works with String-type PF parameter. But CHAR-type won't.

DR Solution for Oracle

Another one for all of you.
Right now, we do a SAN replication for all the oracle filesystem including archive redo. In case of DR, we mount the DR LUN on the DR server, apply the last redo and that's it. We replicate all except archive redo, once a day and archive redo every 20 minutes. Solution with standby and dataguard is that you have to find a way to replicate all the "none logging" stuff over. So my improved solution:
Still keep the whole thing (except archive redo) once a day over using san replication and hot backup mode, during replication the DR DB is down and unavailable
When replication is over, the script mount the DB in standby, resume the script that apply the archive redo every 5 minutes
on the primary, every 5 mintues, rsync the archive redo on the DR (keep archive log directory in sync)
on the DR, every 20 minutes, stop applying redo, mount the BD in read only, check and confirm the last transaction date, if ok, shutdown and remount in standby, resume the script that apply the log
In that case, I can confirm my DB is working and if a someone do a physical change on the primary, I have it and can confirm it once a day
I would like your opinion on that one
Thanks

I was just looking for a Fuji document that backs your position, but I am unable to find it.
I think you can do that.
What about the data in the current log? Mine are 100M and that more than I want to lose.
If you are good with a few logs, then you probably have a solution.
One other thing to consider is Oracle support, if you get in big trouble will Oracle help you? (Just something to consider).
To be fair, I'm going favor RMAN and Data Guard because these are my tools. I don't have access to the SAN. Audit made us prove we could switch to a standby site. Before all these tests I created new tables and added data to them and lost nothing.
Another thing you could consider to to close this and repost in either General Database or RMAN

Solutions for Oracle XE

Folks,
This forum is really great. It is helpful in finding out how to fix some of the problems we are experiencing. Once we have a problem solved, through the combination of information in a number of threads it would be good to distill solutions in to a single page. (The sort of thing MetaLink does)
As there is no Metalink support as yet for XE, and perhaps never will be for those without a license, could we get a Wiki together, so that we can store solutions on it and concensus edit them for others to follow?
Derek

I was in the same position as you until I was enlightened by my 13 year old son, who expressed surprise, when said I hadn't used a Wiki. (BTW I was the one who asked you about Oracle XE and the UK National curriculum, at the OUKUG conference) - but I digress.
By far the best known Wiki is Wikipedia, which can be seen at http://en.wikipedia.org. It is an encyclopedia, implemented using MediaWiki. All the encyclopedia articles have been written by its user base. Pages can be edited on the fly and because they are written by consensus, they provide a good balanced view.
My son demonstrated a wiki to his teachers, by building a fresh wiki based on mySQL and PHP, on a linux laptop, connecting it to the school intranet, and getting his classmates to create some pages which they could all update and edit. In this way they were able to produce pages for their intranet, which are instantly published.
The point I was getting at was that the forum has loads of really good information and allows us to follow a stream of consciousness on a particular subject. But as time goes on, more and more information arrives and one will inevitably have to search more and more threads to find a solution to a problem.
For example the current problem with install on Suse Linux, where connecting with bequeath doesn't seem to work. If we could collect together the steps & checks that are distilled from the forum, then we will have a page on what to do in this situation - a sort of Metalink article written by the common people ;-)
There are plenty of internet sites which now host a wiki for people to contribute, pages. We have just adopted one called Wakka wiki, to supplement our intranet. I hope I haven't been too verbose here and this helped
Cheers,
Derek

High Availibity solution for office web app server 2013 for Sharepoint 2013

I have a scenario with the three nodes SP1 , SP2 and DR-SP with server 2012 standard, each running SharePoint 2013 enterprise, All of three nodes are members of single SharePoint farm that spans two data centers.Primary Data Center have two nodes SP1 , SP2
and DR data center have one node DR-SP of share point 2013.
For Office webapp server i have two nodes OWA1, and DR-OWA with server 2012 standard, that spans between two data centers.Primary Data Center have OWA1 and DR data center have one node DR-OWA of office web app server.
Currently i have configured office web app on primary data center node OWA .How i can enable high availability of office web app server in case of primary data center outage.Please guide.

WAC servers on a single farm must be in the same data center. The WAC configuration you've proposed is unsupported. Build a separate WAC farm in the secondary data center and attach it to the SharePoint farm only in the event of a disaster.

Start up and shutdown scripts for Oracle R12 in Windows XP

I succesfully installed R12.1.1 in Windows XP and logged onto the Vision without any issues. But after restarting my PC, I am unable to restart (I dont know how to restart) the services.
I see the other threads that talk about the same scripts in Linux environment.
If anyone knows - how to start and shutdown R12 services in Windows environment, Plz share.
Thanks.

How can I achieve high available solution for directory server

You can start with deploying multi master replication which will give you 2 servers available for writes (and as many read-only consumers as you want).
You can also install Directory Server in a Cluster (using Sun Cluster) which will provide more failover capabilities.
If you combine both, you should be able to have almost no downtime.
You can also use the Directory Proxy Server (aka iDAR) to provide transparent failover for client applications.
I hope this help.
Regards,
Ludovic.
