How old is test/dev environment?

Hi,
How can I check, How old is test/dev environment which was cloned from PROD in past.
by the creation time of control file?
Thanks

Just for the pourpose of sharing knowledge, even if your regular backup strategy does not include rman, you can still issue this command. I have created a just recently cloned database out of the seed, it works too.

How to configure multiple dev environment in single IP

HI,
I have a WLS running on a Windows NT machine. I want to configure multiple partition/environment
in that single WLS so that each user will have their own partition/environment to
play around. Once they are happy with their EJBs then we shall move them to a testing
environment. Is that possible in WLS??. Can anyone please guide me to a good documentation
about this one.
Many Thanks
Vasan.
PS: I dont want a clustering technology all i want is that in a single ip i wanna
multiple development environment.

Tom,
looks like you are specifying http protocol in
sky.framework.ejb.SkySessionBean.getInitialContext method.
Change it to t3 or, if the JNDI lookup is in the same JVM, don't specify
PROVIDER_URL. If you have to use http tunneling due to any reason , you have to
enable HTTP Tunneling in server to which initial context is created. It is
disabled by default in 60. You can do so via console. Please refer to
documentation , let me know if you need additional help.

This advice applies to WL5.1. I have been trying to configure a
multiinstance Weblogic with no success. I want multiple copies
of the sample petStore available for test by multiple users.
I think in 6.0
You would need to open an admin server
Open the configuration file for say PetStore.
Clone the petStore- call it petStore2. .
Create a copy of the startup script and modify it to start PetStore2.
After doing this only one config.xml is created for both servers.
I am able to start the first server and view the petStore application,
On the second server I get an error when I do
http://host:secondServerPort/index.html
How does one create multiple instances in WL6.0 using the console
or using a XML editor ?

NT isn't a multiuser environment. I will assume that
you mean some
Win32 box sitting in a room where people can copy their
classes/EJBs and
test their stuff. If this is the case, the setup is easy.
Create a directory and startup script for every developer.
Have a
global properties file in the same directory as the scripts
so that
common settings are, well, common. Tell each user to
modify the various
parts of the properties files in their directories to
deploy EJBs and
register servlets, etc etc.
In each startup script, you will have to specify the server
directory
and the binding port for each person. Pick a port (something
easy to
remember and high, like 30000, 30001, etc etc) for each
person. Why?
Well, when they connect to the app server, they'll know
they're hitting
only their server. Also, TCP/IP won't let more than one
JVM bind to the
same port, so if you want simultaneous instances (> 4
you better have
one kick ass Win32 box) you have to do this.
Hope this solves your problem.

So, how do you test things out?

Hello,
I wanted to get some data from the community about how you all have your "test/dev" environment setup, and see how it compares to what we've been running.
We have two seperate SCCM sites, one we call "prod" and the other we call "test." We try out new things in test before bringing them to prod, and try to only update content in prod once per month, during a maintenance window. This doesn't
always work out, however, since we have to tweak things regularly to get things to work or to fix issues that pop up.
Does this seem like overkill or too much overhead? Could we get by with one SCCM site and still have the ability to test things out?
We are ONLY using SCCM for OSD, btw (weird, I know). We use LANDesk for everything else.

In my opinion it's overkill. Others with more knowledge and experience might disagree.
In production we have one environment with one site code. It is in the production environment that I do all my application install and OSD development. I have a virtual machine that I test on and I haven't run into any problems so far. I'm very careful about
what is deployed to where though. I think the biggest risk in not having a dev environment is accidentally doing something you didn't mean to. For example we've had Visio installed on all our servers by accident once. But that is the risk of doing stuff in
production, and if you believe the risk is too great then having a dev environment is probably the way to go.

Install a Test/Dev instance for SAP MII.

Hi,
I want to install a test/development instance for SAP MII on my laptop [2 GB RAM].
Per my understanding, for this i would need set up SAP NetWeaver CE instance and deploy SAP MII 12.1 component.
I also want do some custom development & integration with SAP through MII to SAP ME.
As per Master Guide SAP MII 12.1.pdf, we need to Install SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 EHP1 SP03.
Since its a test/development instance can i install [SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.2 Developer Edition|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/downloads?rid=/library/uuid/a0a6bd7b-3dfc-2c10-eb95-aae0f777d4ab] and deploy MII.?
Or do i need to have some specific version of Netweaver CE.
Please let me know what are steps to install a Test/Dev environment for SAP ME/MII integration..
Please advice.
Thanks un advance.

MII 12.1 has not been validated on NWCE 7.2. And MII 12.2 is validated on NW 7.3, skipping NWCE 7.2. It may install fine, but you will most likely run into problems executing some of the functions and features of MII.

How to simulate the defect in dev environment

I have a qa database and the issue i got is some unwanted data getting inserted into the table.this is given as a defect. The qa environment cannot be used for testing because it can only be queried (select) but no insert , update. And the objects cannot be inserted into the qa database.
So this set up has to be replicated in development env . In which i can do anything. My question is how to replicate the defect in dev . For example the tester says that a record got inserted. But this data is not in development. How to do a data set up in dev.
thanks,
Vinodh

Hi,
Get an export dump of the qa db schema and import it on to your dev environment and see how you can manipulate the data. However it would be good to talk to the testers how they were able to enter the invalid/junk data.

Want to upgrade RAC 10.2.0.2 database (2 instances) to 10.2.0.5. DB size is 4 TB. Contains mostly .pdf files, reports. I do not have test/upgrade environment. How much time I can expect it will take?

Want to upgrade RAC 10.2.0.2 database (2 instances) to 10.2.0.5. DB size is 4 TB. Contains mostly .pdf files, reports. I do not have test/upgrade environment. How much time I can expect it will take?
How much the upgrade process depends of database size, in this case?
I have fast boxes IBM AIX 5.3 , 64 b.

Appreciate your comments ...
Yes, sound stupid, regarding test environment, but in reality, is not that much:
-I do have "preprod" environment, (2 instances RAC) same releases of OS, OCW,RAC ... but DB size is 40 GB!!! It has all the objects as production, but (again but) it does not have physical standby, as production has. This is not that unusual, knowing that production DB grows very fast, and very large, and business do not want to keep preprod, dev, test databases same HUGE size as production is. Savings ...
-My DB upgrade depends if application running on top of it is certified for higher RDBMS release ... looks like they have some problems.
-Very encouraging sounds comment that DB upgrade does not depend that much of the DB size ...
- i do not recall from where this info came, but I have heard that R 11.* treats PDF files in different way that R10 did it ... and because of that, process of upgrading big databases which have many items of that type (pdf) can take very long. Any idea about this?
-Brian, thx ... I'm trying hard to provide DB simmilar size in UPG environment and face all possible pitfalls before I go in production...thx for youe advice. I'm relly interested in how upgrade to 11.* from 10.* traets my pdf-s ... All my TBs comming from pdfs. Everi advice will be wellcome ...

How to move the code and deploy the code from Dev environment to SIT.

Hi,
I have a requirement.
I want to move the components and deploy the code from dev Environment to SIT environment using Ant Script for AIA.
Before doing this is any pre-requisites required?
Can you please help on this,how to do?
Thanks in advance.

Further to add to Anish Statement follow the steps to easily migrate the code to different environment.
Steps:
First log on to the EM Console and export the Composite Flow as a SAR file to a location.
In Jdeveloper create a project using the same name of a SAR file like - ProcessSalesorderFlow
import the project using the option import the composite using a SAR File.
After import , then click on the composite and then generate the config plan.
In config plan add all the url changes using the search and replace Tags.
And in case if you have a JCA Adapters the same has to be taken care in SIT environment why because during deployment a lookup happens and deployment fails if it dont find the JNDI Name.
Take the SAR file adn config plan seperately from JDeveloper.
Now open em console again and then deploy it using the config file and SAR file.
Thanks,

How to ctreate report in dev environment

Hi all,
Can I create report on the dev evironment only by having VPN acessto that machine .
If yes then when I logged in to the financial reporting stdio client of the Dev environment m/c it gave me the following error.
You are not authorized to use this functionality.Contact your administrator.
I have used the administrator user.And the user had the required permission to create the report.
Thanks

Hi,
No you won't be able to open it in that way, you can usually tell if it is exactly the same by looking at the file size, if they are exactly the same as each other then it is more than likely you will have the same version.
You could open the hreports.jar with something like winrar and look in the META-INF directory, there is a file called MANIFEST.MF, if you view that file you will see a line like Implementation-Version: 11.1.1.2.0.0230
You could also click on HReports.exe in windows explorer and you will see the version in the task bar.
If the client worked you can also log in and go to Help > About Reporting Studio which will tell you the version.
That should give you a few different options to find out the exact version between client and server.
Cheers

How do remove FDM from on 11.1.2.3 Dev environment.

I have installed FDM on my 11.1.2.3 Dev environment. Then few days later installed FDMEE in the same server. I believe I may have done a big mistake here. My goal now is too remove FDM and finalize FDMEE configuration. Currently, when trying to deploy FDMEE application I get the Deploy to Application server failed message. I have been looking on log files to identify the root cause, but I am not sure which log file is the correct one to view when we are deploying an application via the config tool. I am on a distributed windows 2008 r2 app server environment. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

The error you stated:
Unable to access application source information in Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\FinancialDataQuality\AppServer\InstalleableApps\aif.ear'
means that it can't access those files on the Weblogic admin server machine, are you sure the fdmee web application was installed on both machines.

How can i test my vpn connection?

so recently i decided to test if ver 1.3.0.3 of the quickvpn client would work better with the 1.3.0.5 rvs4000 firmware. i loaded quickvpn to an xp pro computer (freshly built, i might add) and got to work. in order to test the connection, i attempted to piggy back off an unsecured wireless network. this network is on the same ISP network as i am.
i use dynamic DNS, and the unsecured wireless network could resolve my IP correctly, but for some reason i couldnt connect to my home network from the unsecured network. my router is set to respond to lan requests, but i couldnt ping it. my router passes HTTP traffic to a computer in my network, but i couldnt bring up the webpage. finally, my router responds with the router config page over port 443, and i couldnt bring that up.
so i used my ISP's dialup service to test. initially, as always, i had a million problems with the vpn client. systematically, i tried to resolve the issues. i installed the patch in the readme for quickvpn. i checked log files to see where stuff was failing. eventually, i could connect to the VPN, but would get that "remote gateway is not responding" crap. i know of a (poor) workaround for this which allows you to "finalize" the connection, but that workaround doesnt allow you to ping around in your network. sometime later, after randomly messing with settings, the tunnel would connect without the workaround. i have no idea what "fixed" this.
despite all this, my 28.8Kbps connection wouldnt allow me to do anything meaningful on my network. i couldnt connect to the router or to a server of mine (http or fileshare). the only thing i could do was ping internal devices. other requests seemed to "hang" rather than timeout or do anything more concrete. basically, i gave up on testing using dialup, even though my router and the client software confirm a good connection. but i still wasnt convinced.
next, i figured i could create some type of "DMZ" on my network by placing a switch between my ISP's modem and my router. im not a cisco network professional by any means, but im pretty familiar with networking on a above-average level. that said, despite my best, i couldnt get my quickvpn computer to see my router from the "DMZ".
finally, i figured i could just test the tunnel while directly connected to my network's lan. bad idea. everything seems to go okay until it locks up on "activating policy". rebooting or otherwise ending the negotiation ends in the computer being unable to do anything anymore. when i try to ping anything, i get "negotiating ip security" ad infinitum. the only way i could fix this was by doing a system restore.
so here's the question: how can i test my quickvpn connection?why can't i just tunnel through my network? and before you scream that you can't, thegreenbow vpn client has NO PROBLEM connecting to my rvs4000 while connected to my own network.

Hi Aaron,
I am going exactly the same thing as you however, I had my cousin buy and install a RVS4000 at his house in Australia.
I access it from the USA so that I can help manage his Local Area Network, he is just not technical..
I setup a DDNS client on his RVS4000 so that I can always get to his Router via a domain name rather than a IP address.
I noticed that you didn't mention anything regarding importing client certificate into the directory of the VPN client on your PC.
I also noticed I disabled IPSec passthrough on the router in Australia, see the pictures below, not sure why, but the VPN client is working.
I also did not setup any gateway to gateway VPN tunnels, Only added a client , exported certificate as per the manual, See the last screen capture below.
You will also note if you view the screen captures that my cousins RVS4000 has not been upgraded to the new code.Is there a reason for that...not really...he's just a user, not really technical. Also note I have not added any VPN tunnels on my RVS4000.
I have a reasonably reliable connection between the USA and Australia. I didn;t have to play with any other options, just add users to the VPN client database.
Your description of the working environment of your PC is missing details on the version of XP, so i will mention the following taken from the software release notes of the RVS4000 ;
There is a known issue with Windows XP SP2 Firewall.
ICMP packets are always dropped by the firewall when the firewall is enabled.
This issue causes the QuickVPN client to be unable to establish a tunnel with the remote QuickVPN server successfully.
Microsoft has released a patch to fix this issue, which you can get from:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889527/en-us
After you install the patch, the issue should be resolved. You can also fix this issue by upgrading Windows XP to SP3.
You cannot plug a PC on the same network as the router for testing, they must be on dissimilar WAN networks for testing purposes.
Your remote PC VPN client will not be allocated a IP address in the RVS4000's network, hosts behind the RVS4000 will still respond to pings, as they direct the responses to their default gateway, the RVS4000.
The thegreenbow VPN client is a distracter at this point costing 50 something EURO for a license, lets try to get the quickVPN client working !
So, if you still wish try the following, firstly make sure your XP has been upgraded to SP3;
1. If you upgraded your router to the new version of code, then reset your router to factory defaults to re-initialize your router, yes start again.
2. Export the VPN client certificate to the directory that contains the VPN client. In my case it is;
"C:\Program Files\Cisco Small Business\QuickVPN Client"
3. add a VPN client account to the router
4. Use port 60443 from the quickVPN client. and try VPNing to the router.
5 hmmm, if the client still fails try disabling IPSec Passthrough on the router for grins and giggles.
If this fails, call the SBSC at the following location for resolution;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_small_business_support_center_contacts.html
good luck ...regards Dave

How old is your zen tou

Yeah touch owners... I was just wondering a few things...
How old is your touch?
Have you ever had to send it in for a new battery?
The reason i ask is because i just bought a new 40 gig touch, but i'm woried because you can't replace the battery as easily as my micro battery.

Ive had my Zen Touch for about 2 months and the battery has been good...but its yet to face its biggest test of lasting throughout my 2 hours and 30 minutes of a plane trip to Hong Kong also it has to last an extra 3 hours for my time at Heathrow..so lets hope it can last 5 hours and 30 minutes at least!!! But i never get 24 hours more like 8 realistically maybe even less...but no battery problems and the sound has been great!!!

Clustering in dev environment

Hi,
          Is there anyway in development environment to test clustering without
          getting the network people involved to do multicasting?
          Thanks.
          Tinou Bao
          www.tinou.com


Try and see if the multicast test across a couple of different computers
          will work with either 237.0.0.1 or 224.0.0.1. If you are successful with
          either of these two addresses as the multicast, you should be able to test
          clustering within your dev. environment.

How can i identify the environment name or database name in the PL/SQL code

Hi,
I am using UTL_FILE to genearate the files.,
My problem is, I have to design the common sql file , which can be executed in 2 diffrent environments ( Say QA & DEV ) , with no parameters. It has to identify the environment and based on the environment , it has to generate the concern files.,
The only change needs to be incorporated is , file names , which will change based on the environment.,
can nay one tell me , how can i identify the environment name or database name in the PL/SQL code ??
Raja

In this case, USEC_GI_DEV.NA.XXXNET.NET is a TNS alias. That alias exists only on the client machine. There is no way to access that information on the database server.
You would have to find something in the v$database or v$instance table that uniquely identifies the database (and you may need some help from the DBAs to do this because you need to ensure that the data element you choose is compatible with whatever refresh process(es) are used in your environment).
Now, if you are writing a stand-alone SQL*Plus script, SQL*Plus, as a client tool, does have access to the TNS alias in later versions. But that is a client-side determination, not a server-side determination.

Working with Test/Production environment as application sets

Hi to all,
does anyone here works with a Test/Production environment system?
We've got a single system (2 machines, one for the DB server, one for BPC), and we were thinking on making 2 application sets: Production and Test. While most of the things is easy to migrate from one system to the other one (since almost all of them are files), what worries me a bit are dimensions and some configurations of the application, security, and so on...
Has anyone experience about it? Would you suggest it?
Thanks
Daniele

Hi Daniele,
As rightly suggested, duplicating an appset can be easily done on 2 different physical systems. In the source, you run the server manager and take the backup of your appset. Then copy the back up folder from source to the destination through the network. Again use server manager to restore the appset from the backup folder. With this process, everything will be migrated and you dont have to worry about anything.
The point of worry is, lets say you have moved everything to the PROD and then you continue doing development in DEV and then you want to move these changes also. Now, again taking backup and restoring will not be the right option because by now, there might be some PROD data available. and if you restore again, then all that data will be lost. So, after the first restore, whatever you are doing in DEV, keep a note of all that. So, that the same thing can be replicated in the PROD system.
Hope this helps.

How old is test/dev environment?
