Hot Cloning

I am planning to hot cloning using RMAN backup , using this link http://newappsdba.blogspot.com/2009/06/r12-cloning-from-rman-backup-using.html
Within this link there is a step to tar database node tech_st
tar cvfzp TEST_dbhome_myserver.tar.gz db/tech_st
can i do above tar when database production is in open mode , i mean database open and users are connected to my application R12 , does it hamper the file doing tar in open mode for tar cvfzp TEST_dbhome_myserver.tar.gz db/tech_st?
OS RHEL 4.5
Khurram

but one step is missing in that blog that he is not changing the header of file with its original SID which would be in my case PROD , it can be changed by either DBNEWID utility or recreating contorfile with name SID UAT. If we do not change then with same domain 2 same db_name could not exist.

Hot cloning & cold cloning

i need hot cloning & cold cloning documents

This is something strange to me. What do you mean by "hot cloning & cold cloning".Database cloning is part of Application cloning. When you clone Oracle Application, you need to run pre-clone and post-clone on both the application and database tiers. To clone the database, either you shut it down and copy the files (cold backup), or you can use RMAN to recreate the database (hot backup).
What I know is, using Hot/Cold Database backup can be performed cloning of a database. How this cloning & cold cloning relates to Oracle ApplicationsAlready answered above.
Only the possible method for Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i/12i is with Rapid Clone.For non-AutoConfig enabled systems, you cannot use Rapid Clone. Instead, you need to follow the steps in "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i" paper/note.

Cloning issue

Hi all,
I have a Q?
when I am doing Hot cloning ..
I completed restoring ,init.ora parameter creation...etc
while creation of control file I did all those steps what ever we required .
while recovering the db by using archive logfiles It is asking more arch file are required.
I supplied what ever I do have in Arch destination even though it showing error (more recovery is required)
Q:shall I open the db by open resetlogs....is it works?
any alternate we have?

Yes cloning is not a full consistent recovery. It will ask for archive logs which not yet generated at target database.Just cancel the recovery after applying all available recent archivelog and open the database in reset log mode.
RMAN duplicate database command also does the same.

Forms not opening after cloning ebs 12.1.3

Hello,
I just finished hot cloning ebs 12.1.3 on Linux 6.3. All went well and the I can log into the apps as sysadmin but no form can open. For example, I wanted to get in and change the Site Name: log in to E-Business Home Page -> System Administrator -> Profile -> System but the expected form would not pop up. What am I missing?
Thanks

Adcfgclone.pl

during hot cloning when i went to step to run adcfgclone.pl , i do not UAT_uat.xml file at path "/orahome/PROD/db/tech_st/10.2.0/appsutil" , i have PROD_dpprod.xml which contain instance name and dbname for PROD i beleive. How can i creat UAT_uat.xml , i have recovered the database online from PROD to UAT machine , copied tech_st from PROD to UAT. Please help.
perl adcfgclone.pl dbconfig /orahome/PROD/db/tech_st/10.2.0/appsutil/UAT_uat.xml

I am not sure if your question is clear but however for hot clone, the following 2 steps are needed to configure the DB-tier
1. cd [RDBMS ORACLE_HOME]/appsutil/clone/bin
Start db clone scripts
perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack
2. Configure the target database:
perl adcfgclone.pl dbconfig <database_context_file>
It is here you need the context file generated in the step 1.
Please get the clone doc and read in details as you may need to do 1 or 2 things based on your setup

Archivelog mode features

Hello,
Can I get a complete list of the tasks which can not be performed in noarchive log mode ? I mean in which tasks / features in different Oracle versions i.e. enterprise/standard and version numbers 10.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.1; db must be in archivelog mode.
i.e.
I can not do in noarchive log mode :
1.standby db
2.tablespace in begin backup mode
3.tablespace PITR
4.rman catalog
Can you add more please? or please correct above list ?
One more last question :
From which Oracle Version, Oracle introduced archive log mode.
Thank you.

I would like to add below tasks/features :
ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '/u02/oracle/rbdb1/stuff01.dbf' OFFLINE;
The database must be in ARCHIVELOG mode if you are creating a guaranteed restore point.
Oracle Error: ORA-01239 : Database must be in ARCHIVELOG mode to use external cache
For LogMiner the database must be in archivelog mode with supplemental logging enabled.
To use RMAN recover ... block command, because RMAN need the archivelog to perfom block recovery.
Asynchronous Distributed Change Data Capture (CDC) requires archivelogs.
Hot cloning.
@ Sybrand :
Thank you Sybrand for the historical information.

What can I do to insatall and execute reflink (OVM 2.2.2)

Hi, all.
The below link is describing how to execute reflink command on OVM 2.2.2
https://blogs.oracle.com/wim/entry/oracle_vm_22_and_the_power_of_1
But it isn't how to install reflink.
What can I prepare to insatall and execute command "reflink" on OVM 2.2.2 ?
Thank you.

Unique Error while doing hot backup Cloning!

Dear All,
I am using EBS 11.5.10.2 with DB 9.2.0.6.
I am doing hot backup cloning by referring *[Cloning Oracle Application 11i /R12 with Rapid Clone - Database (9i/10g/11g) Using Hot Backup on Open Database|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=760772.1]*
I am facing a unique issue, when I run adcfgclone.pl dbconfig <my_context_file>, application of my Production Server start misbehaving and it gives me an error:
Node Id does not exist for the current application server id.When I check the FND_NODE table I found that there server id was empty in it.
I have to run than run the following steps as the resolution:
1. Shutdown all the services.
2. EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN;
3. COMMIT;
4. Run AutoConfig on all tiers, firstly on the DB tier and then the APPS tiers,to repopulate the required system tables.
5.start all the services and verify the issue.
Than application behaves normally.
Is there any additional step to be followed while Hot Backup Cloning other than mentioned in the above mentioned ML Doc?
Please suggest,
Anchorage :)

This is very strange, how come this happens in Production, when you are doing cloning in TEST/DEV instance.
Is there any additional step to be followed while Hot Backup Cloning other than mentioned in the above mentioned ML Doc?I feel there are no other additional steps, as I Recently did successfully hotbackup cloning using the same document.

RMAN & Hot backup cloning taking long time

Dear DBAs,
We are doing both RMAN & Hot backup cloning foe that taking more time to restore data files to TEST instance. scp taking too much time to copy to target server because of its volume of data (1.5 TB) & Mounting the RMAN backups drive on test server and restoring from that drive taking more than 8 hours.
I heard that some companies are using some device to move heavy volume Hot backup copy from source to dest faster for clone the instance easily with in minutes. What is that device name to take hot backup copies from source and restore it in target server.
Test server Specs
Processor 8 cores with 32GB Memory.
Thanks
DBA

Hot backup is not recommanded for the database size more than 1T.
RMAN backup and restore is the only opiton available for a DBA.
Other option is to use EMC Symmentrix/BCV's/Snapshots. EMC uses pair of disks to achive synch the produciton data with test server. read more about EMC symmentrix or ask your storage team.

RMAN hot backup cloning problem..need a way out

I took hot backup from server A using RMAN
I prepared server A by running preclone on apps and db tier
I copied apps tier and dbTier(tech_st) from server A to server B..Apps and db tier were up and running during the copy.I also copied the RMAN backup sets
now on server B, what should i do..RMAN backup is in backup sets and i need to restore it on server B(Target server)
I am following note 406982.1 for cloning steps..
in advanced clonign options, it doesnt specify to run adcfgclone on apps tier too
please guide
help appreciated

Hi,
The document assumes that you are aware of the RMAN backup, and you know how to duplicate the database.
Oracle Database Documentation
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/database.html
Search this forum for "RMAN Duplicate" there are many documents referenced as this topic was discussed many times before.

Hot backup cloning in ebs r12

HI i was doing the hot backup cloning in ebsr12.
i have backed up the control files and datafiles and the trace file also.
i have done the steps till copying the db and apps tier.
next is
2) Create the target database control file manually
Open the backed up control file
a. remove all lines before the startup nomount statement
b. Modify the REUSE to SET
c. Modify Source DB SID to Target SID (Here PROD to TEST)
d. Modify NORESETLOGS TO RESETLOGS
e. delete all lines after the CHARACTER SET statement
i am not sure about editing the control file ....
I am a started in db's
can anyone help me in this?

HI i was doing the hot backup cloning in ebsr12.
i have backed up the control files and datafiles and the trace file also.
i have done the steps till copying the db and apps tier.Looks like you are doing cold backup and not hot backup! Was the database cleanly shutdown before copying the database files?
a. remove all lines before the startup nomount statementCorrect -- Or you could leave those lines if they are commented.
b. Modify the REUSE to SETCorrect.
c. Modify Source DB SID to Target SID (Here PROD to TEST)Correct.
d. Modify NORESETLOGS TO RESETLOGSCorrect.
You will also have to change ARCHIVELOG to NOARCHIVELOG -- If your source instance is in ARCHIVELOG mode.
e. delete all lines after the CHARACTER SET statementKeep the lines/command that open the database and create the temporary tablespace.
Thanks,
Hussein

Hot Backup cloning vs Cold Backup CLoning

Hi,
when we do cold backu cloning...we get same data as production database..
when we do hot backup cloning..i think we will loose current transactions which are recorded in redo log and not archived ....am i right?????
when we do hot backup cloning....all the database files headers are freezed..means...all latest changes are not copied while we copying datafiles to test machine...but those changes are logged in archived log files...we will get these changes in archived log files...
am i right?????
please correct me if i am wrong.....

When all is said and done there is really no difference in the clone database made from a cold backup or a hot backup as both are point in time recoveries.
In the case of the cold backup the source database was made unavailable to users while the backup was taken. If you have that luxary then that is fine, but many sites would need or want to keep the source available while the backup runs.
The backup type should not be an issue unless you really need to capture the source database with the data in a specific known state where no changes were taking place.
