How to Patch Multiple Instances on same oracle home

Hi All
I Have 4 Instances running on server like below
DEVSTAG /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0
DEVUAT /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0
DEVREVT /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0
DEVREG /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0
i want to Apply the patch set 11.1.0.7.1 to DEVUAT & DEVREVT Instances , Can someone please help .. i dont want this patch set applied to DEVSTAG Instance .. how to exclude that Instance from getting patched ?
Thanks in advance .. hope my requirement is clear.

Which patch are you referring to ? The database patching tool (opatch) generally applies any database patch to an ORACLE_HOME. You will need to follow the instructions in the README of the patch. If you need to only patch one instance, then you will have to create a dedicated ORACLE_HOME for each database (i.e they will not share database executables). If you share ORACLE_HOME amongst multiple instances, then you will have to patch all of them simultaneously.

Running multiple instances from same oracle home

Hi Gurus,
I am preparing for OCA 11g examination. I had a question about running multiple instances from same oracle home. While reading the book I came across a statement about database control which says "If there are several database instances running off the same Oracle home, then each will have its own Database Control instance".
Now I assume that this statement implies multiple instances accessing the same physical database (which as per my knowledge can happen only in case of a RAC).
I am not able to understand how exactly can you have multiple database instances in a single oracle home. I have installed Oracle 11g on my computer whose oracle home is +"D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1"+; now this directory houses all the binaries (executables and folders like admin,bin, etc) for the oracle instance that I have installed (the instance name is ocp1). Now if I am to install or create another Oracle Instance (say ocp2) in the same home, wont there be a conflict of binaries of the two instances in the same home ?
Basically,it makes sense if db_1 folder is further split into multiple folders, one for each instance (for example, one for ocp1 & one for ocp2); each of these folders will then contain the binary files, libraries,etc for its own instance; but, this is not the case, here db_1 houses all the binaries directly under it ...
The other question which stems from the statement I mentioned above is that if having multiple instances running from same oracle home accessing the same physical database, can this arrangement be called RAC at all; or does RAC dictate that you cannot have multiple instances that are accessing the same database have to be installed on physically separate machines and so you cannot have two RAC instances (accessing same physical database) installed on the same computer ??
I hope my questions are not too much confusing ... !!
Cheers,
Sudripta

Hello,
"If there are several database instances running off the same Oracle home, then each will have its own Database Control instance".This is true, and also means each instance will have its separate database (i.e. dbf files etc.) & separate DB Control. Usually in this case you create several instances on the same node.
Now I assume that this statement implies multiple instances accessing the same physical database (which as per my knowledge can happen only in case of a RAC).You are correct about RAC where several instances (usually running on separate nodes) access the RAC.
More info:
1 Oracle Home - 1 Database - 1 SID is possible.
1 Oracle Home - Many Databases - Many SID is possible.
1 Oracle HOme - 1 Database - Multiple SID is possible and this is called RAC.

How to open multiple instances of same form thru menu items

i'm not able to open another instance of the form.....if i want to open multiple instances of same form ...what should i do???

Hi Shenaz,
To open multiple instances of the same form you need to set a different FormUID to each form you open.
So lets say your FormType is MyFormXPTO. You need can set the FormUID as MyFormXPTO_1, MyFormXPTO_2, and so on.
If you need a code samples, take a look at this post.

How to create multiple instances within same AS

Ramesh,
I have a unique problem. I might have to create B2B instances for 4 owners. As in BPEL, I can have separate domains for the 4 clients in the same instance; what is the equivalent in B2B?
I have a limited number of CPUs and need to install the instances on the same box and hence trying to be creative yet secure here.
Could you please provide some pointers.
Thanks
Shamik

Hello Shamik,
Please elaborate your use case. Is this just caters to user management or to really have different domain like bpel for four different users. Please see, b2b do not have the notion of BPEL domain, you might have to install multiple instances of B2B pointing to the same MR.
Rgds,Ramesh

These questions show a certain lack of knowledge about Oracle - which immediately says that you also do not know what you are doing ito performance and scalability of a Oracle and that server platform by running multiple instances on it.
In most case, running multiple instances is the wrong thing to do. It degrades performance. It does not and cannot scale. It is an exception to the basic fundamentals of client-server. And not just for Oracle.
You need sound technical justification for running multiple instances on a server. What is yours?

Multiple APEX instances sharing the same Oracle Home?

Can someone tell me if it is possible to have multiple APEX installations where the database instances are sharing the same Oracle Home? If so, how would this be set up?
So, if I have development and test running on the same home, I want a separate APEX instance for each. We can do this when different Oracle homes are used (separate httpd running) but not for the same home.
Thanks

Thanks - We have tried putting 2 dad entries in file, but not sure how you connect. You only specify a port number, so how does it connect that to a db???

Can we have Multiple Instance on same Node in Oracle 10g RAC

Hi All,
I am planning to implement the RAC in Oracle 10g.Before that i have one doubt regarding RAC.
My question is "Can we create multiple Instance on Same node(Server) ?"
is it possible.
Any ideas or thoughts would be apperciable.
Thanks in Advance.
Anwar

This is where it is important to keep the separation between 'database' and 'instance'.
A database is the set of files that contains the data (and the redo, control files, etc). A database does nothing by itself, other than take up lots of disk space.
An instance is theCPU cycles (running software) and the memory to control the database.
In Oracle RAC, you can have as many instances controlling one database [at the same time] as you want (within reason). Each instance must be able to access the disk(s) that contains the database.
These multiple instances can be on the same computer (effectively taking up a lot of server memory and CPU for nothing) or they can be on separate computers.
If they are on separate computers, the disk subsystems must be able to be shared across computers - this is occasionally done using operating system clusterware and is the main reason why clusterware is required at all. (This is also the toughest part of the pre-requisites in setting up a RAC and is very vendor dependent unless you use ASM.)
These instances need a communication connection to coordinate their work (usually a separate network card for each computer) so they do not corrupt the disk when they are trying to access the same file, and possibly the same block, at the same time.
In a RAC configuration, instances can be added, started, running, stopped and removed independent of each other (allowing a lot of high availability) or can be started and stopped as a group.
Each instance gets it's own SID, which is in no way any different than a non-RAC SID. It's just the name of a service that can be invoked. The neat thing is that the SID
a) helps the DBA keep things straight by lettiung us talk about 'instance A' (the Oracle software to be running over on computer A) vs 'instance B' when starting, stopping and managing;
b) helps the application by providing targets that can be listed in the TNSNAMES.ORA [against one service alias], which is used by ORacle Networking to provide automated load balance or failover (instance/SID a is not available, I guess I'll try the next in the list)
Hope that helps the concept level a bit.

How to use/sync single data (file) across multiple instances of same application

Currently we have an application (a diagram editor), that have the ability to save and load (serialize) its state in a xml file.
Now we want this application to behave like Microsoft OneNote application. Where multiple users have the ability to access the same file.
Later we may also need to enhance with other things like, (1)what is changed and who changed it, (2)option to resolve conflicts if any.
I came to know about sync framework to resolve this. so far, i have not tried it.
All i want is,
Virtually single file should be edited by multiple instances of same application.
We need a dll (sync framework) that does following
It takes complete responsibility of file handling.
Using this dll, each instance of the application will notify their own changes.
Each instance of the application should have the ability to detect the changes that is recently made (when, who, what are the changes).
My question:
Will sync framework be suitable for this requirement?
If so, is there a demo application that represents this?
- Jegan

Seems like I have found the solution.
In the taskflow there is a property named data-control-scope and I set it to isolated instead of the default (shared) and this seemed to do the trick.
I can now have two instances of the same taskflow running with different ApplicationModules

How to avoid multiple listing for same artist?

How to avoid multiple listing for same artist?

Sounds like there might be blanks in the artist name.
For instance "Lou Reed" and "Lou Reed_" will not match.
(Pretend the underscore _ is a blank).
Select all the Lou Reed songs, Get Info, and type "Lou Reed" in the artist field. That should fix it.

How to create multiple BOM of same parent item?

Hi All,
Please guide me, How to create multiple BOM of same parent item? I tried but system throws a message as same Parent Item already exist in the table. I am afraid if system supports this functionality or not?

Hi,
You are welcome.......
Well the exact process would be as I mentioned in my previous post.
1. Create the BOM for an item
2. Choose this item in the Production Order
3. Then in this Production order you can change/ delete/ add whichever item you want .
OR
If all the child items are completely different from the original BOM then you can use the Special Type BOM in which you can always create the BOM while creating the Production Order itself. There is no standard BOM here.
