Infiniband support in Standard Edition RAC

Hi,
This document states that there is no InfiniBand support in Standard Edition:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e47877/editions.htm#DBLIC116
But I'm able to start Standard Edition RAC 11.2.0.4 with either UDP over IB or RDS over IB as private interconnect.
So, what exactly does it mean that Standard Edition does not support IB?

You can run IPoIB (IP over Infiniband) for supporting a standard IP stack. You can also configure it for connected mode (7000 byte MTU recommended). From a TCP/UDP/IP application perspective (such as Oracle), it is just another standard IP stack being used.
Oracle may argue that relinking the rdbms executable for using RDS as oppose to UDP is a violation of the SE license. But I seriously doubt that they will claim SE prevents you from using IB all together and that using IPoIB is a license violation - as that would just be plain silly.
But then from an IB perspective - a SE RAC is a really a small minor cluster. Where the performance and scalability provided by IB is pretty much unused and wasted.
So SE not supporting IB is more a support statement I think from Oracle (not supporting high-end Interconnect with low-end cluster), and not a statement of incompatibility of SE with IB.

SNMP on Standard Edition RAC, do I need to pay for a license

Hi,
I want to enable SNMP on Standard Edition RAC.
Is OEM free to install on Standard Edition ?
Does OEM need a specific Management Pack for SNMP ?
Thanks
john

What I do know is that you need at least one Management Pack to be allowed to use e-mail notification.
I guess this is the same when talking about SNMP notification.
To be sure contact your Oracle Sales Rep.

Yes, this is it.

Oracle Standard Edition and GoldenGate for replication?

The Question:
Can GoldenGate run in a Standard Edition RAC ==> Enterprise Edition standalone environment and perform the required rule-based replication without requiring an upgrade of our RAC Standard Edition to RAC Enterprise Edition?
The environment:
Source System: 2-node RAC running Standard Edition 10.2.0.5 (RHEL5 x86-64)
Target System: 1-node running Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.1 (RHEL5 x86-64)
The requirement:
Lossless one-way replication in "real time" of selected schema while excluding selected DDL/DML based on multiple rules.
Present solution:
LogMiner, but there is a known LogMiner bug (p8977287) that causes data loss when one RAC node goes down or is evicted from the cluster. The bug is reportedly patched in 11.2.0.2 and is slated to be fixed in 12.x.
Thx.

Yes. Simple enough, it can extract from SE, even XE!

Streams in standard edition

Dear all,
11.2.2 standard edition rac on solaris 10. We have a remote site which has a standard edition rac . Now, there is a requirement to replicate the data.
We are planning to implement oracle streams .
1) Is oracle streams free with standard edition
2) can the complete functionality of streams can be achieved in standard edition
3) can we replicate the complete database using streams or only certian objects ?
Please guide
Kai

Dataguard Implementation in Standard Edition

Hi all,
Which third party tool is best for implement the DATAGUARD. Because Oracle dataguard wont support for Standard Edition.
Thanks,
Muthu

Hi,
this sounds like: I have a very important database, which my business is totally dependend on. It needs high availability and reliability - but I don't want to spend money for it.
Sorry... this I really cannot understand....
Also make sure the customer knows the implication of using dbvisit. DBVisit is based on archive redologs (same as manual standby mechanism). So he will definitely loose some transactions in failover case.
There is no Zero Data Loss.
Furthermore make sure you are not using STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT set to auto. This is Enterprise Edition functionality.
I personally would look on other options to save costs: Like using an Oracle database appliance, where I can reduce license costs by disabling cores. This may enable the customer to use EE (with only minor investment).

Sebastian

10gr2 standard edition standby question - archive log shipping

Hello,
I have 2 servers with 10gr2 standard edition, one is production(primary) and secondary is standby on windows platform. To keep standby synchronized i use a script to copy archived logs from primary to standby and applying manually (with scripts).
My question is: can i use redo transport service in order to copy archivelogs from primary to standby ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
It is a bit of topic.
According to the Licensing Document page 10 DataGuard is not supported for standard edition.

Does Standard Edition include a license to install Grid Control?

Environment are some 10.2 Standard Edition RAC clusters... DB, CRS, listener, ASM with Database Control running on random nodes. I would like to know if the SE license includes the right to install and use Grid Control (instead of Database Control) to monitor the SE clusters? With GC I can have some failover with multiple OMS that I've used before to good effect, but I'm not sure if I can install it if this shop doesn't own EE licenses. Anyone know off hand?

Doesn't this licensing info pertain to the (separate) Database used for Grid Control (OMS) repository only?
To me the paragraph just says that you can use a separate host for Grid Control server, without licensing additional Database processors (as long as you stick to the Special-use requirements).
So, what about license for Grid Control itself? (i.e. Management Agents, OMS, Management Repository, ...) I believe this was the op's concern. And what does "provided ... targets managed ... are correctly licensed." really mean?
Perhaps the licensing details for e.g. Database and AS can provide some information, if related license includes the right to install and use GC to manage such installations and deployments.
I believe a license is "included" as long as you have a license agreement in place for your other products. I think this was also discussed a few times earlier on oracle-l.
Either way, as Hans says above, you need to verify this for yourself, for your business. (Implicit, heard-of license rights are a bit hard to prove.)
I'd better add:
Not all of the functionality of OEM Grid (or Database) Control is ok to use without purchasing extra options. Some of it are requires EE and Management Packs.

MS SQL Standard Edition Produtive use

Hi SDN,
I'm installing a SAP EP 6.0 in a produtive host and during sapinst steps it gave me an warning that SAP does not support MSSQL Standard Edition for a produtive use of SAP EP. Well, i've seen in planning and produtive guide that Database instance needs an enterprise edition for MS SQL but, when I installed development portal it doesn't gave me this warning.
Now, and only by curiosity, how could know sapinst that i'm installing an productive portal, or, in the other hand, why this issue does not appear in development installation (installation DVD's are the same) ???
Someone know why SAP does support development and QAS environments and not produtive environment?
Thanks for your enlightments!!
Regards,
Pedro Rodrigues

Hi detlev,
Thans for quick response.
The question is that I'll never install anything that SAP does not support, right now i'm waiting for enterprise edition download and I wish to know why this message apears only on Produtive environment installation, i didn't check anything during the SAPinst progress that says to it that it is for produtive use!!!
Regards,
Pedro

Installing Standard Edition wih RAC

Hi@all,
actually I'm trying to install Oracle Database Standard Edition 12c (12.1.0.2) with RAC Option on a two nodes Cluster. Both machines are running on Oracle Linux 7 and Oracle Clusterware / GI 12c (12.1.0.2) is also installed. What makes me confused is, that I can't select the Standard Edition. But why? I think, RAC Option is also available in Standard Edition. And no, I didn't select Rac One Node Option, I know, that is just for Enterprise Edition.
Thanks a lot and regards,
Dave

OK, thanks a lot for your answers, here are mine to that:
- we've just 2 CPU's in each node of the Cluster
- On the page Oracle Database Software Downloads | Oracle Technology Network | Oracle I just get the Enterprise Edition for 12.1.0.2. I think, the Standard Edition will be available on OTN or so for 12.1.0.2? Are the Editions now splitted with the installers for 12.1.0.2?
- Which Options should I've select on the before screens which will exclude the Standard Edition? The first screens before that where you can decide over the Editions are: The Support Screen => I've entered no mail address, "Installation Option" => Install database software only, "Grid Installation Options" => Oracle Real Application Clusters database installation, "Select List of Nodes" => I've selected my two nodes, Language ?=> english. And that's all. Which of these options would exclude Standard Edition?
Thanks a lot and Regards,
Dave

Active/Passive RAC setup in 11.2 Standard Edition?

For the ACTIVE/PASSIVE setup in 10g RAC, the ACTIVE_INSTANCE_COUNT parameter works very well. However, in 11.2 version this parameter is obsolete. I'm testing this on our Test RAC server with Oracle Standard Edition 11.2.0.1. What are the other ways possible for an ACTIVE/PASSIVE cluster in Oracle 11.2? Has anybody gone through this before? I know that Oracle Enterprise Edition supports RAC One Node, but I've Standard Edition & moreover, I'm planning to have 2 databases on this cluster with 1 database being Active/Passive & the other being Passive/Active on the 2 nodes.
Appreciate any quick help!! Thanks.
Satish...

Hi user1701261,
One option to divert traffic to specific node could be setting 11g Services in active , passive mode.
srvctl add service -d DB01 -s DB01_SRV -r "db011" -a "db012, db013"
Where
-d <db_unique_name> Unique name for the database
-s <service> Service name
-r "<preferred_list>" Comma separated list of preferred instances
-a "<available_list>" Comma separated list of available instances
Session will switch to incase db011 instance goes down.
active_instance_count parameter is effective only for Two node cluster, whereas using this method you could get more flexibility.

SDK support in Pro and Standard editions.

Hi,
I want to convert PDF file into DOCX programatically. I have written the code using Acrobat SDK and tried with Acrobat X Pro trial version, and it works fine. I just want to confirm whether Acrobat X Standard edition supports exporting PDF to DOCX via SDK? and whether my code will work in Standard edition.
Also, want to know whether there are any differences between Pro and Standard editions in terms of SDK support.
With regards,
Pinakin Purandare

Hi,
Apologies for missing the code.
Below is the code:
            AcroPDDoc pdDocument = new AcroPDDocClass();
            if (pdDocument != null)
                try
                    // Open PDF file.
                    result = pdDocument.Open(location);
                    if (result)
                        // If PDF file is opened then get the docx file name.
                        string docxFileName = string.Concat(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(location), ".docx");
                        docxFileName = Path.Combine(Path.GetFullPath(tempPath), docxFileName);
                        try
                            object jsObject = pdDocument.GetJSObject();
                            Type type = jsObject.GetType();
                            type.InvokeMember("saveAs", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, jsObject,
                                new object[] { docxFileName, "com.adobe.acrobat.docx" });
                        finally
                            pdDocument.Close();
                            pdDocument = null;
                finally
                    pdDocument = null;
I have gone through the feature list of Standard edition on Acrobat site and it mentions that it has feature of exporting it to Word. But since I was not able to find trial version of standard version, I am not able to test the code.
I want to make the decision on buying the edition based on the export to DOCX feature programatically. Hence wanted to confirm.

Pinakin Purandare

Problem to create database with RAC 10g with Oracle Standard Edition

I install CRS (Cluster Ready Services), and then install Oracle 10g database. Also, I install patches 10.1.0.4. When I create database with ASM storage give me a error to create files database.
Any idea?
Thanks
Edu AlcaÃ±iz

You were right.
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B14203_05/intro.htm#sthref44
under the section
"1.3 Configuration Tasks for Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters"
"... If you use RAC on Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition, then you must use ASM."
Thanks, problem solved.

License in Standard Edition with RAC

Hi,
I have to install:
2 nodes in RAC configuration with Standard Edition in active/passive configuration.
License per CPU.
Do I need license for both nodes?
If not, is anywhere official note about this situation?
There is no word about it in Oracle Technology Global Price List.
Thanks for replay
Podkov

The [Software Investment Guide|http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/sig.html] has some more information on this. It mentions that you only have to license one host in a 'failover' configuration where 'nodes are arranged in a cluster and share one disk array' as long as you use the second server for a maximum of 10 days per year. However, they don't mention RAC, only Oracle Failsafe, so it is not really that clear (to me).
You should discuss this with your Oracle (or Oracle Partner) sales rep.
