How to upgrade ADF to second instance

Hi All,
We are using ADF in our application. We have older version of OAS 10.1.2.0.2
We were successful in upgrading the ADF libraries on the "home" instance of OAS using ADF installer.
Now, we created another instance called "MY_OC4J".
Next task is to upgrade ADF libraries on this new MY_OC4J.
How to do that ?
Reason I am asking this question is :-
"Oracle documentation states that ADF installer (standalone as well as Jdeveloper wizard driven) upgrades ADF libraries of home instance *ONLY*" so obviously we cannot use installer to upgarde instance MY_OC4J
anyone done this before ?
Any idea ? Pointer ? Tips ?
thanks,
cora

Ok.
Here is the update.
I installed the ADF libraries on second instance (of OAS 10.1.2.0.2), using the Jdev 10.1.3.3 installer wizard. It was successful.
When I run my appliaction, everything runs fine. Except the selectOneChoice drop down shows the items chopped off..
Meaning, if one of item listed in the dropdown is "Configuration Number" then after installing the libraries, it shows as "Configra". Its chopped off.
REASON: I developed my code using ADF 10.1.3.36.73
I installed the ADF libraries using Jdev 10.1.3.3 (ADF version 10.1.3.41.57)
So, I have higher ADF version installed on server. What is the solution for the selectOneChoice not to chop off ??
Why did i install higher version ADF libraries ?
Answer:--- Since I developed application using jdev 10.1.3 (ADF 10.1.3.36.73), there is no way for me to install this version on the second instance. Bcaz
a>Jdev 10.1.3 does not have provision in run time installer to specify the second oc4j instance. although jdev higher versions do have. thats the version i used to upgrade ADF libs (ADF version 10.1.3.41.57) using jdev 10.1.3.3
b>Standalone ADF version 10.1.3.1 installer does not have option in properties file, to specify the second oc4j instance name. So cannot use this installer either.
So, in short inspite of ADF version mismatch, my application runs fine except that chop off in selectOneChoice.
Is there a way to get aroung this problem of selectOneChoice ??
thanks,
capa

  • How do I create a second instance of oc4j in a standalone enviroment

    I am using OC4J standalone to deploy a sparql endpoint using jena, joseki, and the oracle jena adaptor. OC4J is running on the same server as my DEV and QAR databases. The current instance of OC4J is using a data source called "OracleSemDS" to connect to my DEV database. We are now ready to migrate the endpoint to QAR. As I was setting up the QAR endpoint, I discovered the the jena/joseki tools are hard-coded to use the "OracleSemDS" data source. Therefore, I cannot have 2 endpoints running in the same OC4J instance where one points to DEV and the other points to QAR.
    Therefore, I need to create a second instance of OC4J that specifies QAR as the "OracleSemDS" data connection. Can someone tell me how to do that?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Thanks,
    Philgday Phil -- Melli Annamalai from the Oracle Server PM team pointed me to your question. I was an OC4J Product Manager before we bought out BEA and I swapped over to WLS -- so I have some information below that hopefully is of assistance to you.
    Since you are using OC4J standalone, the simplest way to get a second instance, is to just clone the existing, whole directory structure of your working OC4J instance into another directory, and configure/run it from that directory. To map the OracleSemDS to another target (QAR) you change the data-sources.xml file in the second instance. If you want to run them concurrently on the same server, you'll need to change the ports in the second instance so they have unique values: default-web-site.xml, rmi.xml, internal-settings.xml, jms.xml. These additional ports can be specified on the command line as a Java property string, albeit this is not a documented nor supported feature. See http://buttso.blogspot.com/2007/02/specifying-oc4j-standalone-ports-from.html for more information.
    Now as an example, assuming you have your OC4J you want to clone in the dev directory, and now want to create a second instance of OC4J in qar, I'd do this:
    cp -rp dev/* qar
    cd qar/j2ee/home/config
    vi data-sources.xml
    (edit any other files if needed to alter ports) ...
    cd ..
    java -jar oc4j.jar That should work, and should create the second instance using the current configuration (ie dev) as its basis (including deployed apps). Of course, you'll need to manage them independently from here as they really are just two separate OC4J standalone instances.
    Now what else you could potentially do is to create a secondary configuration file subset only which only changes the necessary files to support running the second instance. In this case, you'd make a copy of the j2ee/home/config/server.xml, j2ee/home/config/application.xml and j2ee/home/config/data-sources.xml files, renaming them to qar-server.xml, qar-application.xml and qar-data-sources.xml.
    Then do the following:
    1. In qar-server.xml file, you'd change the global-application application to point at qar-application.xml instead of application.xml:
    <global-application name="default" path="qar-application.xml" parent="system" start="true" />
    2. Change qar-application.xml so that it used the qar-data-sources.xml file:
    <data-sources path="qar-data-sources.xml" />
    3. Change qar-data-sources.xml file so it points to the qar database target.
    4. Start OC4J, telling it to use qar-server.xml instead of the default server.xml
    D:\java\oc4j-10135-prod\j2ee\home>java -jar oc4j.jar -config config/qar-server.xmlI think you could run into some concurrency problems if you try and run the two instances simulataneously, but in general it should be OK I think if you run them separately.
    Another solution here is look at how the application specifies/uses datasources. The hard coding of the data-source name into the applicaiton via a direct JNDI lookup works, but restricts the flexibility you as a deployer/administrator has.
    If the application used the Java EE resource-ref approach to look up and use the datasource, then the actual JNDI name of the datasource the application uses it totally abstracted from the actual physical name of the datasource that is created on the container -- so you'd have DEVDS and QARDS as physical datasources configured and running on OC4J -- and what happens is that as you deploy the application, you essentially map its lookup and use of OracleSemDS (which would need to change to a java:env/ namespace) to the physical datasource you want it to use (DEVDS or QARDS for example). You can easily alter this post deployment by changing the generated orion-application.xml file to point at the alternate physical datasource. Following that, you can also create separate deployment plans which map the app to the different datasources, then feed this in with the deployment operation so that the correct mapping to either DEVDS or QARDS is done during the deployment process.
    I don't know what scope you have to change the application so the above may not be possible -- you'd need to change the lookup code so that it uses the Java EE reference model and change the meta-inf/application.xml to add the corresponding resource-ref entry which declares the logical datasource name that needs to be mapped on deployment.
    Another approach here may be to use an application embedded datasource, where you put a data-sources.xml file into the application archive itself (along with an orion-application.xml file which references it) whereupon at deployment time, a datasource specific to the application will be created. In this manner, you'd have say two copies of the same application to deploy (DEV, QAR) which contain different data-sources.xml file. From memory, each application will have its own JNDI namespace so their datasources can co-exist with the same names, with application level data-sources overriding server level ones. Since you'll most likely want to keep the same context-root for the web modules (which has to be unique per server) you'll generally need to run just one of the applications at a time. I'd do this like this: deploy one, stop it, deploy the other, stop it, then start only the one you need to test. In that way, you'll have one copy of the application running (either DEV or QAR) and one datasource definition running within it.
    Here's some documentation links to get you going:

  • How to upgrade ADFS Standalone Server into ADFS Server Farm

    Hi All,
    My Scenario is as below -
    (A) Currently using ADFS 2.0 Standalone on windows serverd 2008 R2 and have enabled federation with Office 365 for my On-Prem Domain "mydomain.com".
    Requirement: I want to Upgrade my Existing ADFS 2.0 standalone server to ADFS 3.0 Server Farm.
    Questions: As per TechNet it is not possible/supported to convert ADFS Standalone setup into ADFS Server farm.
    1. How should i upgrade or migrate with minimal downtime?
    2. What are impacts and risks during migration?
    3. What are the steps to migrate ADFS Standalone to ADFS server 3.0? What are
    the pre-requisites and considerations to focus on.
    4. Can I use AlternateLogin ID (email address other than UPN) for Office 365 federated domain once i will install ADFS 3.0 in my exchange hybrid
    environment?
    Regards,
    Aanand Singh
    Regards, Aanand Singh

    Hi Vivian,
    hanks for your response and the URL you have shared is very informative.
    Could you confirm if this is the right method and supported way to Introduce the ADFS Server Farm 3.0 in existing ADFS Standalone setup.
    As per Technets, ADFS Standalone does not support upgrade "Select this option to configure a new stand-alone instance of AD FS 2.0.
    Use this option if you only need to install and deploy a single AD FS 2.0 server for either evaluation purposes or a small production environment. If you select this option, you will not be able to upgrade to a server farm configuration later."

  • How do I install a second Java instance in a Distributed Installation?

    Hello all,
    I've just completed the Distributed Installation of a WAS Java stack.  The Central Services and Database are running on one box and the Central Instance (01) is running on antoher box.
    I want to add a second instance (02) on another physical box.  Do I run the sapinst for Distributed Installation again, and this time go straight to step 3 and select "Central Instance?"
    Since I don't see an option called "Install an additional instance" I am guessing that this is the way to do it?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Marc,
    My initial installation from sapinst was:
    NW2004s SR1 > SAP Systems > MS SQL > Distributed System > Based on AS Java
    There are only 3 steps in that selection (SCS, DB, and CI).  There's nothing about a Dialog Instance.
    However, Dialog Instance exists as a step in the High Availability System scenario.  So is this what I should use?
    But if I use this option from the High Availability selection, will it still work, even though my first box I installed using the Distributed System selection?
    Thanks a lot,
    Mike

  • Can I install a second instance of i-Calender on the server where right now is running the first instance? How?

    The first instance is running on a Sun R420 Enterprise
    server. The second instance will run in the same server.

    When you say "Authorized"  you mean in the sense of Itunes Store Authorized? if so the system in Question is authorized it is my primary Workstation and was waiting until iCloud came out to update to Lion. My MBP , and 2006 MP are all running Lion and are part of the 5 systems "authorized". I did not run into this issue with either the MBP or the MP when i installed and I bought two copies at the same time on my the first day Lion was available.
    Do you know the mechanism with which the App Store tracks purchases on different computers prior to iCloud coming out?
    once again thanks for your response

  • Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?

    After being tricked by the fast talking smoothy helper at Apple store in London to buy a micky mouse ipodtouch (fourth generation) two years ago I am stuck at ios 4.1 and find that all the useful applications need 4.3 or more. So I went to the trouble of letting the macbook stay open all night to load yet another micky mouse version of itunes so that I can upload the more recent version of ios and now (since I don't want to continually have a lot of rubbish on the ipod I disabled the automatic sync "feature") I can only go round in circles  whereby the only real possibility left is to turn on the autosync feature. I have had messages like "your ipod will be completely erased if you proceed" and "do you wish to fiddle another few days with this nasty system, then click on continue" and so on.
    Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?
    That would be great (maybe) because otherwise I will toss this children's waste product on the floor and set up my HD camera to show how easy it is to smash the brightly lit screen into pieces and relieve myself of trash which Apple sell to unsuspecting gullible humans who believe that they are not being tricked by such a nice company who produce shiny colourful gadgets which only work for a month or two before becoming 100% obsolete.
    Great to hear from those who have wasted many months of their lives and discovered how to trick the system into doing a simple update operation!
    I am insulted by the tricks that fool many and that apple pretend are "necessary".

    Illaass, your help is amazing - miles better than anyone working in this part of the world who is paid - and you do this for free - because, like me, you LOVE to help people!
    BUT, as I said above -
    1. There is nothing "mobile" under Application Support. For whatever reason.
    2. Devious - that Apple has set up iPod to not show in Finder - a red herring and sign that corruption is visible.
    I will try iFunBox next and it sounds like they provide this for the more serious users but use a trivial name to excuse further strangeness.
    After

    And then I wait for hours to arrive at the above mentioned

    and so we are back to where we always land - the user is left in the Apple designed sabotage situation which annoyed me so much initially.
    "Most users will give up at this point, loose all the data or buy yet another disposable from Apple. Less than 3% will work their way to this site and 90% of the 3% will leave the iPod to gather dust in the hope that someone will help later. In all, Apple gains, since people blame themselves for "mistakes" which Apple programmed to throw out users who do not take the 100% Apple path. But Illaass and myself still play the game of "trying to fix" something which Apple don't allow."  was the comment which I was going to write but decided against it, adding no value to the conversation other than explaining one reality which we all hoped could be wrong but which I thought to have a very high chance of being closer to the truth.
    Apologies for my doubts towards the integrity of the creators.

    Recheck: Under Application Support "mobilesync" folder has appeared (MobileMeSyncClient has also appeared [while again trying to update iPod] with zero size) - Good news, a Backup file is there, but it is only 3GB while my iPod has 32GB and is close to full (800MB free space).

    The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
    More Infomation    OK
    So it looks like I may have lost all the important pictures documenting various items all around Europe for the last two years - luckily I moved a year ago from the iPod toy camera to a Panasonic real camera with SD card which can be read on any computer. Hence important items lost may only be older than one year rather than the most recent items.
    Glad I have changed to Panasonic since they don't try to screw you when you don't use their system.
    I will now check the "more information" rather than just click on "OK" since I am of the 3% who "don't accept cr*p".
    For full information I quote that the iPod now shows a screen with a USB ikon, an upward arrow and an iTunes ikon (all micky mouse language which reduces transparant, clear and technical discussion and thus covers the trail of "where things went wrong").
    The iPod is still attached to the computer but the above MMTALK may mean that the iPod should be attached via USB to the mac. I record much of this activity on Video to be able to later prove EXACTLY what occurred, rather than having to rely on screenshots and opinions. We are after all dealing with important items which may later be required to be shown in court, as evidence against fraudsters.
    The "More Information" link leads to
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    which I have already seen before.
    I clicked on OK and a help screen (unnamed as ever because no one like myself demanded that the help screens be named for later discussion) arrived:

    while copying this into this message the computer began to start up Final Cut Pro and this was cancelled, then iTunes came up with a message:
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    ok
    And I presume the earlier message about helping Apple is gone because I keep getting interrupted by this message called
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    ok
    it has appeared now at least six times interferring with anything else I do. Each time I try to write, this message appears and blocks, but only when I write. I tried to do a carriage return and the message appeared taking the carriage return as acceptance of the OK in the
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    ok
    Message. But since I have not removed the USB and keep returning to this message I am able to write for a few seconds (now 30 seconds or more) and the message remains on the screen but not blocking this conversation. It appears to be random but in fact as you can later see from the video, it is not reappearing each periodic number of seconds but as I reach a new comment.
    I will try to close iTunes so that this can be stopped (I clicked on OK and it appeared another few times, each time I clicked on ok and now it has left me in peace to write here although iTunes is still not yet closed).
    Difficult to log down all the strange behaviour but I think you can get the gist of what is going on.
    2014 01 12 12 49 27
    Should I remove the iPod and stop iTunes? I have a nasty feeling turning to indifference since I have video footage which will verify all the above in a court of law if later required. The truth must always win over any devious attempts at forcing people to do things they don't want to ;-)

    I have two profiles set up, 'default' and 'second'. If both are already running how can I start a second window of profile 'second'?
    firefox -p 'second' : opens a new window of the default and,
    firefox -p 'second' -no-remote : tells me that firefox is already running.

    I don't think that this is possible.<br />
    You need to open this second instance (Firefox profile folder) with the -no-remote command line switch and that makes it impossible to open external links via the command line or via a double-click.<br />
    You can only open a link in such an instance by dragging the link on the tab bar of that Firefox window.

    I read the FAQ of nomad on nomadness.net, I wanna know how to upgrade the hard disk of old nomad jukebox with a bigger one?
    I also read a artical on tom's hardware about this,
    http://www7.tomshardware.com/mobile/20000/mp3-3.html
    but he gave a link
    http://www.kuren.org/jukebox
    that is not available. He mentioned that it need to clone the fist 65536 sectors from the old disk to the new one, but I have not the old hard disk( I bought a second hand nomad jukebox without the original hard disk). How should I do?
    Does someone have the image file of the fist 65536 sectors from the old disk?
    Thank you!

    That was the old method before Creative published their Bootcode Flasher software.
    Follow the instructions here:
    http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php...ticle&artid=24
    All files mentioned are available somewhere on Nomadness. Also check out the sticky thread in their JB section of the forum as it lists what hard dri'ves will work in a JB and which ones won't. I hope you haven't already bought your upgrade hard dri've.
    I used the above method without any problems and now have a 20GB JB.

  • How to upgrade Stellent 7.5.1 to Oracle Content Server 10gR3

    Hi,
    I need to upgrade Stellent 7.5.1 to OCS 10gR3. Can someone provide the steps. Do I need to install OCS 10gR3 and then migrate the folders and content how do I migrate all the folder, content to 10gR3. Is there any documentation, blogs, steps that I can catch up on to get the understanding and get started. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi
    am putting out the steps needed for upgrading an existing CS instance from version 7.5.1 to 10gR3. Its basically a 2 step process where we use Configuration Migration Utility to migrate the CS structure and Archiver to migrate the existing contents. The steps are as follows :
    1. Install a new CS 10gR3 instance on the server and configure it as per the install guide.
    2. Verify that the basic functionalities for the newly installed instance is working fine by doing some simple tests like checkin ,checkout , update etc. Then upgrade the CS to the latest patchset level which can be downloaded from http://updates.oracle.com/download/6907073.html.
    3. Install the latest version of Configuration Migration Utility component (which is found in the same uprgade patch set ) on both the 10gR3 CS (target) instance and the 7.5.1 CS (source).Enable them on both the CS instances and restart the same.
    4. Run the Configuration Migration Utility on the source CS and download the CMU Bundle created on it.
    5. Upload the CMU Bundle created in previous step to the Target CS and import the configurations from that.Verify that the CMU process is completed successfully on the Target CS instance.
    6. Create a new archiver instance on the Source CS and export all the contents in that.
    7. Open the Archiver Applet for the target CS instance and then Point the collections to the collections.hda of the source CS instance so that we can import the contents. Start the Import process on target server.
    8. Once the CMU and Archiver Process are completed then your 10gR3 CS would be an exact replica of the Source 7.5.1 Instance.
    You may also go through System Migration Guide to get more understanding on the Migration / Upgrade processes.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

    I have a simple RHEL3 box with 1 G memory, I had used the DBCA to install a database, 10g r2, on it. How can I use the DBCA to create a second instance on the same DB? Someone´s thread said it can, But when I run the dbca, there is no place I can pick to create second instance, all I have is to create another database and next. My oracle was 10g r2 (10.2.0.1) SE1 version downloaded from Oracle. Is a problem with my original download copy or setup of the dbca? Thx.

    Thanks Kuljeet. I think I missed that part of fundamentals. So how about the second schema vs second instance? Some users said that the second instance will need more overhead for oracle structure. and many experienced users said that second schema on the same instance is bad idea. The reason I want is to separate the test part of the database operation to a second environment (not sure it is a good word). So the management of Oracle will be simpler. My 10g r2 is part of BAAN erp application, BAAN uses Oracle as a data/index storage only, Most of the processes is around running SELECT, UPDATE and INSERT sql (developed from BAAN´s 4G script). No procedure, no function, no trigger or any other involved. However, during the set-up of the BAAN, contractor created a test set of database, then repeated the data/index tables to a prod set. So that our BAAN users can test some processes and move that processes to prod.

  • Creating second instance 10g (non rac)

    We are 10G 64bit on a Windows/VM box - or will be:)
    Is it possible to create multiple instances of oracle on a single server?
    Generally speaking - would I create the second instance just like the first instance but with a different db name?
    Any reasons why I wouldn't want to create multiple database instances on the same server?
    Currently we have our client (enterprise manager) installed on a separate box and use the same client to connect to several databases. If I had multiple instances on one server how would enterprise manager connect to multiple instances with the same ip?
    Thanks for taking my question!.

    When running the second DBCA the global database name and sid would be unique as well?Yea, the global database name must be unique.
    I could also use the same flashback directory as this area has the sid in the directory path? Yea, you can use the same flashback directory for any database on the same server.
    Forum question: Is there a way to close a question and give credit for an answer? I dont, know, but the interesting about the participation on this forum is HELP
    Luck.
    Have a good day.
