How to Restore E-Business Suite after Server Crash?

Hi Hussein Sawwan,
I have a question that will be useful to other members of the community. How do I restore Oracle E-Business Suite R12 after physically loosing the server that hosts the ERP instance?
I have 2 scenarios here:
1-Existing cold backups of the DbTier and AppsTier are available
I have been doing a full backup of the Apps and Inst folders once a week on an external drive.
I have been copying the DB folder (Data + DBMS_ORACLE_HOME) after shutting down the database cleanly once a week on an external drive. Noting that, here the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
2-Existing Hot backups of the Database are available and I have a backup of the Apps and Inst folders (AppsTier)
The database is in archivelog here. I have been doing a full hot backup of the database once a week, an Incremental backup everyday, and a full backup of the archivelogs once a week. All of this to an external drive. The Apps and Inst folders are backed up once a week to an external drive.
Let say something bad happens and we completely loose the physical server. How can I do to restore and recover my Oracle E-Business Suite R12 to a new server?
I know I will have to Install the same OS on the new server, but what happens after that?
Thanks in advance,
Clamarion.

I believe the easiest approach would be:
- Install the same OS on the new servers
- Install OS pre-req software and packages for your EBS instance
- Restore from cold backup (if the crash happened directly after this backup and you haven't lost any data)
OR,
- Restore from hot backup (if the crash happened after your cold backup and you have data that wasn't part of the cold backup)
I assume that no changes to the hostname, domainname, IP Address, port numbers, directory structure, ..etc is taking place in this restore.
Thanks,
Hussein

How to best restore lost User Accounts after server crash?

Our late 2005 G5 froze sometime overnight in the middle of a Time Machine backup. We had to do a hard reboot the next morning.
When OS X Server 10.5.8 came back up, none of our users could log in including our administrator accounts. Unable to log in as root, we used the utility on the installation disc to reset the root password. We were able to log in as root to see that our data and server disks still were intact and navigable. However, we could not see any user accounts defined. We then were able to log in as Server Administrator. Same thing.
We are unfamiliar with restoring anything from Time Machine backups other than user files. Is there a way to restore user accounts from Time Machine and how?
More info: we tried restoring some system files and the library folder but no luck. Not sure how to go about restoring Keychain if that got corrupted...We had about 10 accounts defined before the crash.

How to restore a remote site after a crash?

I have read the site management FAQ and it mentions to restore your files you can go to your remote site and load back to your local site.
Could anyone offer some help to my situation?
I suffered a hard drive failure, I'm running windows xp, dwcs4 and the site is hosted. I have reinstalled windows and dw. The site was created as per all the tutorials and I managed to save a copy of the site folder but not as per the saving instructions in the FAQ. I just have a root folder with all the pages in.
Could someone point me to a tutorial or how to?
Thanks in advance
Jim

"I managed to save a copy of the site folder but not as per the saving instructions in the FAQ. I just have a root folder with all the pages in."
You lost me here. Not sure what you mean.
Create a new site definition for local and remote sites, connect to your remote site then click Get. That's all you need to do.

Run standalone applications on E-Business Suite Application Server

Hi,
Environment Details:
Database - 10.2.0.3
Apps. - 12.0.3
We have a 6i client-server Forms & Reports application that we want to web-enable. This is a standalone application that has no integration with the E-Business Suite. We would like to use the E-Business Suite application server forms and reports servers to run this application too.
I had two questions:
1. Are there any documents available that would document best practices for such a scenario?
2. Is it possible to create a standalone report server on the E-Business Suite reports server or is there a way to integrate the standalone application reports with the EBS report server?
Thanks,
Ramesh

How to Unlicensed E-business suite product ?

Hi,
How to Unlicensed E-business suite product module ?
If I want to take off CASH management which is currently showing as licensed product like that.
Thanks

Hi,
There is no direct way to achieve this, so you will have to restore the application/database files from a backup before this module was licensed. If you cannot afford this solution, please log a SR and see if Oracle support would suggest any workaround.
Note: Please do not update any table manually unless you are instructed to do so by Oracle Support.

How to restore views and procedures after drop user command?

How to restore views and procedures after drop user command?
We have 817 EE on NT and one developer created a lot of procedures, functions and vews. DB was not backuped and archived and export has not been done - our fault and we understand it. Sorry for this.
Ok, now the story: another developer dropped this db user and we lost everything: procedures, functions and vews. The new user with trhe same name was created and new schema was imported in this user, but all old objects are lost. We don't have export and backup and archive log files.
Question: may we can restore this lost stuff from some other sources. We are looking for lost codes, not data. May be we can use redo logs or shared pool or any other things. Any idea will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Victor
[email protected]

The switch has occurred after user was dropped, the data has been overwritten and there is be no way to use redo log files.
I would like to explore another opportunity. Is possible to use Shared Pool or any Data Dictionary internal information to restore texts of the lost SQL and PL/SQL scripts executed in this DB before user was dropped? Not too many scripts are executed in this DB and the lost ones may still be in stack. I remember that Shared Pool (cash) should keep last executed scripts in order to improve performance. They probably are kept in some special format. Can we restore these scripts? Of course they also might be pushed out by Import that had been done after user was dropped.
Thanks for your help,
Victor

How to Stop Firefox 18 From Restoring the Previous Session After a Crash

Firefox 18.0.1 running on Windows 7
When Firefox crashes, the next time it opens it tries to restore the previous session. I do not want Firefox to restore the previous session after a crash. How do I prevent Firefox from restoring the previous session after a crash?
Please note:
1- My home page is set to "blank page"
2- I have configured Firefox to NOT remember my browsing history, download history, form fields and passwords.
3- Even in Safe Mode (i.e., with all add-ons disabled), Firefox STILL restores the previous session after a crash.

hello Bulldogger, please try the following in order to switch off sessionrestore completely: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preferences named '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' and '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo'''. double-click on those entries and change both of their values to '''0'''.

How To Install E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Media Pack On Windows Server

Hi Every body,
I am trying to install Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Media Pack on Windows Server
and hope to find guidance and answers to some points
1- which Windows Server Version would be better for this installation Windows Server 2003 or 2008?
-- Currently I have Windows Server Enterprise Edition 2008 SP2 32-Bit Update (2010-12-15).
2- Is it possible to run the installation on Windows 7?
-- My knowledge is that Oracle certified Windows 7 as an EBS client machine (means IE8) and Oracle certifies Server systems to run Oracle server applications and Databases.
and certifies desktop machines to run the client side applications So >>
3- If I do not need the Oracle support over my EBS , then is that means that I am free to successfully install and run the EBS on my desired system? or what is the importance of Oracle systems certification any way ? 4- I need a step by step installation guide for the version you recommend ?. -- >(The MOST important Point)
-- I am new to EBS world
5- If I completed the installation successfully then would I be able to login to EBS from the same machine ?
-- I am trying to install EBS on my Toshiba L500 Laptop which its resources is
(Processor Core(TM) i3 M330 @ 2.13 GHz
RAM 4 GB
HD 320 GB). and I want this Installation for both functional and technical learning.
I know guys this questions may cause headache to answer but I'd really appreciate your patience.

1- which Windows Server Version would be better for this installation Windows Server 2003 or 2008?
-- Currently I have Windows Server Enterprise Edition 2008 SP2 32-Bit Update (2010-12-15). The list of supported OS can be found in (Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.1.1) for Microsoft Windows Server (32-bit) [ID 761567.1]).
2- Is it possible to run the installation on Windows 7?
-- My knowledge is that Oracle certified Windows 7 as an EBS client machine (means IE8) and Oracle certifies Server systems to run Oracle server applications and Databases.
and certifies desktop machines to run the client side applications So >> No -- Windows 7 is certified as a client tier only (Recommended Browsers for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 389422.1]).
3- If I do not need the Oracle support over my EBS , then is that means that I am free to successfully install and run the EBS on my desired system? or what is the importance of Oracle systems certification any way ? Certification means running your application/database on a combination of OS/Hardware so whenever you have an issue, Oracle support will be able to help in troubleshooting -- You need to run your application on a certified OS.
