How to open Oracle 11.2.0.4 datafile in 11.2.0.3 binary?

Hi:
we are doing Oracle upgrade for our client from 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4.  The client has a request, that after upgrade (database open to user access and new data will be entered by users during that time), they want to switch back to old version of Oracle in 11.2.0.3 AND use new datafile (version=11.2.0.4).  We are now testing this.  Our question is: can we do that? does oracle allow such operation or not?
The point is the database will be used by client for a few days after DB upgrade(11.2.0.3=>11.2.0.4), and we don't know what type of data they enter, we are not sure if this will damage database SYSTEM file or not.
Today we tested the following command in out testing environment:
STARTUP NOMOUNT pfile='path_to_11.2.0.3_initSID.ora';
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN; * (*we found out that the command failed, then we run this command):
ALTER DATBASE  OPEN DOWNGRADE;
SELECT STATUS FROM V$INSTANCE; ---> (it shows OPEN MIGRATE status).
So DB is not open!!
Also we think 2nd solution of
1.  create new control file at 11.2.0.4 $ORACLE_HOME for latest oradata file,
2. copy latest 11.2.0.4 redo logs to old oracle_home (11.2.0.3)
3. open the database by 11.2.0.3
is the above approach correct or not?  is there any problem of inconsistent SYSTEM file, and will this approach solve it or not?
thank you very much!

To go back to old version (without changing compatible parameter), you can perform downgrade.
Instructions are available at
How to Downgrade from Database 11.2 to Previous Release (Includes 11.2.0.4 - 11.2.0.1) (Doc ID 883335.1)
In this case you will having all the data file including the new one.
But remember database may not be in the same status as before (Before upgrade). it may have invalid objects of higher version after downgrade. 
Downgrade is applicable only to successfully upgraded databases. In case upgrade faced some issue, do not try downgrade there.
Your second approach it not correct. Note that each datafile header will have db version. We can not open database in normal mode when header version and binary versions are different.

  • How many opened oracle connections?

    Hi Friends,
    I'm usnig Oracle 10g and TOAD 9 for my project. Here i want to know
    how many oracle connections are opened?
    Please give me a query to get currently opened connections?
    I did not get any specific TOAD forum to post this?
    could you please also tell me if there is a specific forum for TOAD?

    No,
    I want to know the connections
    for ex: If we are working with any Application server like weblogic,we can set initial connections to 10 and increment to 2. What it will do here is if all the 10 connections are either open or busy then weblogic will automatically add 2 more connections (what we set ).
    Here i'm requesting you that in TOAD also is there any requirement to know how many connectiosn are currently opened?
    You need to understand that
    1) TOAD is not an oracle product, so you will not find any direct support (such as forums) for Toad on an Oracle web site.
    2) TOAD does not bring any magic to an oracle database. Everything it shows you can be seen via standard sql statements. Thus, any help you receive here will be from the standpoint of those sql statements, not clicking some icon in Toad.

    But it’s very difficult to remember & manually enter oracle SID & HOME details every time after run (. Oraenv)
    .profile creation is simple method and no need to remember SID & HOME details.(for multiple DB in one server)You don't have to "remember & manually enter oracle SID & HOME details every time after run " oraenv sets all those details for you. All you have to remember is the name of the instance you want to work with. The same thing you'd have to remember if you if you created (as you suggested) three different "profiles" - actually three different shell scripts, each to set the environment for a specific instance.
    Yes, I do place "default" settings in .bash_profile. But with multiple databases the "default" settings are often not going to be what you need so you'll still have to run some process to change them. Either a home-grown script or oraenv. And either way you will have to remember the names of the instances you have to chose from. So in general I see no advantage of reinventing the wheel.

    He is using different port number for different instanceWhich accomplishes absolutely nothing except extra configuration headaches. It accomplishes nothing for security. It accomplishes nothing for availability.
    And also it is very simple method to manage three different DB in three different listener entry (for DB maintenance activity.)Not as easy as managing one default listener. By far the most frequent listener configuration issue I see on this forum is when people try to configure one listener per database.
    Single listener in multiple instance (if listener down all DB connection will affect)And why would the listener be down? I've been working full time with Oracle since version 7.3 - somewhere around 1995. I've NEVER seen a listener fall over and die. I have seen many people on this forum whose db connections failed because they were trying (unsucessfully) to configure multiple listeners.
    All of my servers are running multiple databases. I have one test server that is running close to a dozen separate databases. One listener. I've NEVER had a situation where I thought to myself, "Gee, it would really help if I had created a separate server for each database"

  • How to open new window and generate oracle report from apex

    Hi,
    I had created an application that generates PDF files using Oracle Reports, following this Guide.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
    And I followed 'Advanced Technique', so that users can't generate PDF file by changing URL and parameters. This is done for security reasons.
    But in this tutorial, when 'Go' button is pressed, the PDF file is displayed on the same window of apex application. If so, user might close the window by mistake. In order to avoid this, another window have to be opened.
    So, I put this code in the BRANCH - URL Target. (Note that this is not in Optional URL Redirect in the button property, but the branch which is called by the button.)
    javascript:popupURL('&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.')
    But if the button is pressed, I get this error.
    ERR-1777: Page 2100 provided no page to branch to. Please report this error to your application administrator.
    Restart Application
    If I put the code 'javascritpt ....' in the Optional URL Redirect, another window opens successfully, but the Process to generate report job is not executed.
    Does anyone know how to open new window from the Branch in this case?

    G'day Shohei,
    Try putting your javascript into your plsql process using the htp.p(); procedure.
    For example, something along these lines should do it:
    BEGIN
    -- Your other process code goes here...
    htp.p('<script type="javascript/text">');
    htp.p('popupURL("&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.")');
    htp.p('</script>');
    END;
    What happens is the javascript is browser based whereas your plsql process is server based and so if you put the javascript into your button item Optional URL Redirect it is executed prior to getting to the page plsql process and therefore it will never execute the process. When you have it in your branch which normally follows the processes, control has been handed to the server and the javascript cannot be executed and so your page throws the error "Page 2100 provided no page to branch to"... By "seeding" the plsql process with the embedded javascript in the htp.p() procedure you can achieve the desired result. You could also have it as a separate process also as long as it is sequenced correctly to follow your other process.
    HTH
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • How to open the second VM in Oracle 11gR2 2-nodes RAC system ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I have been installing Oracle Database 11gR2 RAC system using 2 nodes that are 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2) on the top of VMPLayer 3.
    I follow the tutorial http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html to do.
    The original Virtual Machine rac1 has run correctly. I configure rac1 network (eth0 and eth1) by opening VM rac1 and using command "[root@rac1\] #neat" as root user to invoke the network configuration.
    For the second Virtual Machine rac2, I simply copy all files in "C:\VM\rac1" into "C:\VM\rac2". Then I have done the following:
    1) In the directory "C:\VM\rac2", rename "rac1.vmx" to "rac2.vmx".
    2) Change display name from "rac1" to "rac2" in the file "rac2.vmx".
    The next thing to do for rac2 is to open the Virtual Machine rac2 and configure its network (eth0 and eth1) by using the command "[root@rac2\]#neat" as root user.
    But by this step, I don't understand how to open the Virtual Machine rac2 so that can configure its network (eth0 and eth1).
    Can any folk tell me how to open the VM rac2 to configure its network by this step ?

    Hi,
    But by this step, I don't understand how to open the Virtual Machine rac2 so that can configure its network (eth0 and eth1)."rac2" is a new virtual machine after you copied and changed the display name and you need to add this in the vmware enventory (I am talking about vmware server and vmware player should have the same way as it is supposed to run multiple vritual machines on your PC). Then it will be visible it to you. Now start this new machine and edit the network configuration.

  • How to open a new window from submit button &dialog page in current window?

    We have a requirement, wherein we have a OAF search page for PO lines with search criteria, Go button to search ,result region (table layout) and a submit button(Create new expedite).
    1. Now user can select some lines from result region and click on Submit button.
    2. On click of submit button we need to pop up a window or may be a dialog page asking that " Do you want open supplier web link portal or not?".
    3. If user clicks yes(in Dialog page) then first fetch the URL from a look up maintained in Oracle EBS on the basis of supplier of the lines selected and then open that URL in a new window and side by side we need to open a dialog page in search page asking "whether user has updated the expedite info in supplier portal or not?". On basis of this we need to updated some count in custom tables.
    So in step 3 i am facing problem, that how to open an URL in a new window through a submit button and side by side want to open a dialog page in the current window also.
    Hope a quick response from you all.
    Note:- To open a custom page we can have a link or button(button of type button and not submit button) on base page with destination url property as following javascript:
    javascript:var a = window.open('OA.jsp?page=/XXX/oracle/apps/xxx/......&retainAM=Y', 'a','height=500,width=900,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no'); a.focus();
    So the question is how to do the same for submit button on OAF page???

    Antriksh,
    You just need to attach a submit action in button bean and not submit button bean, based on the output of confirm type of alert in javascript.
    Here is code u need to put in destination url of the button:
    //replace <confirm message> by message you want to show.
    javascript:input=confirm('<confirm message>');if(input==true){submitForm('DefaultFormName',0,{XXX:' abc'});}" Now in the process request of the base page CO, u can get parametre 'XXX' from the pagecontext....so
    if((("abc").equals(pageContext.getParameter("XXX"))))
    {/// custom LOGIC }
    The same i have replied in your mail. I hope this resolves the issue.

  • How to open and navigate between human task forms in a same page?

    Hi
    I use Oracle BPM 11.1.1.5
    I have a question about taskflows in BPM Application.
    In ADF web application, I create a sipmle task flow and insert view id and bind these to jspx pages, my pages are opend in same page when
    return an outcome.
    For exapmle I have three pages like A,B,C.
    In task flow, insert three view ids and bind to A,B,C.
    My first pages is A, and when outcome is B navigate to B, when my outcome is C then navigate to C in a same page not separate pages.
    But my problem is here.. in BPM Application when create task forms, every task has a separate task flow that there exist a single view id and a wild card flow in it.
    In BPM workspace when initiate human task form is closed, I should press refresh button to see next human task form in task list table.
    I tried to create a simple task flow and insert human task forms in it and navigate between these.. but show human task form in wrong display and don`t show some component and human task payload.
    Now, my question : How to open and navigate between human task forms in a same page like software installation?

    Having a separate Data Control for each human task is normally the case. There is a way to assign multiple human tasks to a single data control (and one task flow), but I don't think that this is going to help you with what I think you're trying to do.
    If your human task is called "EmployeeDetail", then you'd use the data control associated with this for the UI pages in the task flow diagram that is associated with this human task. For example, you might have a first page that has just the basic employee information - the fields (at least the ID field) would come from the EmployeeDetail data control. When the end user clicks "Next", you might have this UI page flow to a second UI page in the task flow diagram that has the employee's address information. You might place the address fields from the EmployeeDetail data control onto this second UI page.
    You might be asking how the work item instance can automatically flow to the next interactive activity in the process while staying inside the first interactive activity's human task's task flow diagram. This is not how it works - the task flow diagram models the end user interaction while inside a single human task that is tied to a specific interactive activity in the process. If you want a the end user to be able to move the instance through multiple interactive activities in the process in one interaction, look at "Activity Guides". Activity Guides do a nice job of this.

  • How to open a JSP page from a form ??? plz help

    hi ..
    i want to know how to open a jsp page from a oracle apps form using a button .
    the requirement is that whenever we click on the button created on the form, it opens a jsp page.
    plz help me ..its urgent !! :-(

    In portlet project, to navigate between pages, you should not use the URL property to link to a page. Instead, portlets use navigation via action handling. You use the Page Navigation editor to set up links to pages; that is, the navigation editor sets the action property.
    Here is an example to hyperlink ans button to open a new page:
    # From within the IDE, create a new portlet project. This action creates the project and one page, PortletPage1.jsp.
    # Create a second portlet page, called PortletPage2.jsp, for the project.
    # Drop a Hyperlink component onto the first portlet page, PortletPage1. (You can drop the Hyperlink on the page in the Design window or on the PortletPage1 node in the Outline window.) Change the Hyperlink's text property to Next Page.
    # Drop a Button component (found in the Basic section of the Palette) onto the second portlet page, PortletPage2.
    # Open the Page Navigation Editor. It displays the two pages (PortletPage1.jsp and PortletPage2.jsp) of the application.
    # Click the PortletPage1.jsp icon in the Navigation window to expand it, and then drag a connector from hyperlink1 to PortletPage2.jsp. Change the name of the connector from case1 to Page2.
    # Click the PortletPage2.jsp icon in the Navigation window to expand it, and then drag a connector from button1 to PortletPage1.jsp. Change the name of the connector from case1 to Page1.
    # Run and deploy the portlet. The browser displays PortletPage1 and you should see the Next Page hyperlink. When you click the Next Page hyperlink, the Apache Pluto Portal server displays PortletPage2. Click the Page2 button to return to PortletPage1.
