Install with a copy of existing database

I am wondering if anybody had tried this:
suppose you have a LiveCycle ES 8.0 running, all's well; let's call this system "A".
now, you need to bring up another LC ES system on a separate server machine. let's call this system "B".
But, since there are 2000 forms/processes in system "A" already,
and you don't want to Import + Configure all those 2000 forms from "A" to "B", because it's a time-consuming, tedious and extremely boring work.
So, is it possible to
make a copy of the LCES database of system "A",
and,
during the install/configure/deploy LC ES onto "B", we configure "B" to connect to the COPY of the database (instead of letting the configuration manager configure/initialize a brand new database for B).
would that work?
if so, what would be the exact procedure?
thanks

Hello,
Maybe the TargetDatabase and the DeployToDatabase properties can help you.

How to create a new database after copying an existing database with a new name

hi

spose
i have a db name attached in sql server StoreManagementDB now i want to copy this database with all the transactions as StoreManagementDB_1.
thanks

Use a two steps to use a backup file to restore a database with a new name.
----You need to have a full backup of your database:
--Step 1:
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'C:\bk\TEST.BAK'
--Find out the LogicalName of data file and log file
-- in this case: the data file: TEST and the log file LogicalName: TEST_log
--Both names will be used in the MOVE command
--Step 2:
-- Restore the files for test1.
RESTORE DATABASE test1
FROM DISK = 'C:\bk\TEST.BAK'
WITH RECOVERY,
MOVE 'TEST' TO 'C:\bk\test1_Data.mdf',
MOVE 'TEST_log' TO 'C:\bk\test1_Log.ldf'
GO

Problems Installing Oracle Metadata Repository into Existing Database

Folks,
I'm slowly going through the process of installing the Metadata Repository into a 10g database, using RepCA I've managed to determine all the DB parameters required for setting etc. The only thing RepCA now reports is missing is the Ultrasearch schema & packages.
I've copied the ultrasearch dirs from the RepCA distribution and placed them in my $ORACLE home dir, I've also attempted to run the admin install script 'wk0setup.sql' which throws out several errors listed below. If anyone has successfully gone through this process on Solaris I would love to hear your about your experience & advice.
Error 1. =================================================
User is WKSYS
... loading ultrasearch_db.jar
call sys.dbms_java.loadjava('-v -f -r -s -g PUBLIC $ORACLE_HOME/ultrasearch/lib/ultrasearch_db.jar', '((* wksys) (* public))')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:

===========================================================

Hi guys,
I have used copy of that package from Oracle Identity Management installation, version 10.1.4.0.1 and have been able to complete manual Ultra Search installation. It's valid in dba_registry. After that I did run RepCA and metadata schemas have been created successfully in existing database, version 10.2.0.2. Be careful about database version, only 10.2.0.2 is certified with Oracle Identity management, so you need to run patch for upgrade to 10.2.0.2.
Hope this helps.

Based on the error below:

It looks like the installer can't connect to your existing database.
Can you ensure that your listener is servicing the already existing database.
lsnrctl status -> will list services
Make sure the database you want to use as your repository is there.

Deploying a copy of existing database with a different name on the same server

I am a developer(an inexperienced one) trying to understand what is the best way to deploy a brand new database with
the exact same schema as an existing DB on the same server, but with a different name. I want to preserve the data in all reference tables which I can do by having the relevant post-deployment scripts run after the deployment.
What I can't understand is how the project should be set up to deploy database Customer_2 if database Customer_1 exists on
this server - the Visual Studio project contains DB Customer and I need to find a way to be able to deploy Customer_N (but without creating N identical DB's in the project). I checked a ton of articles and blogs, and feel dumb asking this question but haven't
been able to understand it yet. Any help would be appreciated.

How to install OEM 10g using an existing database on another host

Hi,
I've created a 10g database (on host solaris_x86) which I like to use for the OEM 10G GC (on host linux_x86).
If I install OEM using existing DB, then the installer expect the database is running locally.
If I install OEM using new DB, then the installer complains that I've less then 1GB memory.
Does somebody know how to solve this?

Something is wrong ... Remote database works fine.

Installing OEM Control Grid in existing database

Hello,
We have a server (Windows 2003 R2 SP1) with 9.2.0.7 installed (all is ok).
Install 10.2.0.1 server => OK
Creating database Orcl (10.2.0.1) => OK
Patch to 10.2.0.3 => OK
Upgrade database Orcl to 10.2.0.3 => OK
Install Control Grid 10.2.0.2 => Error in OMS configuration
When I look in the log file (HOME\oms10g\sysman\log ), i see :
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-28000: the account is locked
when he has tried to create the repository. So, I unlock sysman account and rerun the OMS configuration from OUI => same error.
I've tried that solution found in the forum...
drop user sysman cascade;
drop user MGMT_VIEW cascade;
drop role MGMT_USER;
drop public synonym SETEMVIEWUSERCONTEXT;
...and rerun OMS configuration from OUI => same error, account sysman locked.
I unlock it and rerun again => account sysman still locked.
I've no solution, can someone help me, please ?
PS: sorry for my poor english

There's a generic issue with your configuration (version 10.2.0.3 as repository), this is the message from Oracle:
Upgrade Alert:
The Oracle Database Patchset 10.2.0.3 was recently released. This alert is to inform customers that Enterprise Manager 10g currently does not support running the EM Repository in a 10.2.0.3 Oracle Database. The first release of EM that will support the EM Repository in a 10.2.0.3 database will be EM 10.2.0.3.
Do not apply the database patchset to the EM repository database at this time.

After trying every suggestion and uninstalling & installing with clean copy. I still get firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window

I have tried to restore to an earlier period. uninstalled then reinstalled mozilla, and restarted numerous times, but whenever I try to open the message Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you much first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
Can use some advanced insight on this.

Try to use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.

Install APEX to work on existing Oracle 10g R1 database

I want to use APEX on an existing Oracle 10g R1 database. If I install it normally with the program downloaded from your site, it installs its own database that you use.
How can I set / install it to use the existing database instead of its own database?
Elsie Pretorius

Hi guys,
Thanks for the info and input. Is there anybody have sucessfully done this. Most of the info that out there, the README in the patchset all pointing to upgrading the OCS, not installing the OCS on top of an existing 10g AS and DB. I'm thinking installing the OCS R2, and then patching and upgrade it to 9.0.4.2 or 4.3 and then point or move it to the existing 10AS and DB. This is where I'm quit blur at the moment.
Anyway thank for all the info.

Update database installed with 9iAS Infrastructure?

Hi!
I'm about to install BIBeans on this system, which has Oracle 9i Database (9.2.0.4), 9iAS Infrastructure (9.0.2.3) and 9i Mid-Tier (9.0.2.3)... In the readme for the bibdemo schema, it says this: "Install (and upgrade, if you have an existing installation) the Oracle9i database. You must also install the required patchsets to get your database to version 9.2.0.3 or higher. Installation of the demo database schema will fail if the correct patchsets are not installed."
I previously patched the 9i Database instance up to 9.2.0.4, but I was under the impression that Infrastructure installed its own copy of the database... Is that correct? If so, do I also have to update the IASDB? I had a look at the readme for the 9.2.0.4 DB patch, and it looked like that could only be applied to the 9i Database Server...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I am trying to install a registered copy of Photoshop Lightroom that I never installed on my Apple iMac with software version 10.10. I get the message "Adobe Lightroom 1. Cannot be installed on this disk because a newer version of this software already

I am trying to install a registered copy of Photoshop Lightroom that I never installed on my Apple iMac with software version 10.10.
I get the message “Adobe Lightroom 1. Cannot be installed on this disk because a newer version of this software already exists on this disk”
If it is here – I cannot find it anywhere, and I don’t believe that I ever installed it.
I have ordered the upgrade to Lightroom 5.0 and figured that I should install Lightroom 1.0 first.
How can I solve this problem

Actually when LR 5 starts for the first time after it is installed it will have a dialog to Buy, Try or Enter a serial number. You select Enter a serial number and enter the LR 5 serial number first and then because it is an upgrade serial number it will ask for the serial number of a Previous version. You then enter the LR 1 serial number.

What issues we may face in installing a new Prod portal with same SID as existing one

Hello All -
We found some vbs script files in the host of EP Prod system. On confirmation from SAP we deleted those files without any harm to our prod EP system. But customer is still concerned about the security of the system and wanted us build the new EP prod system with same SID.
We approached SAP and they suggested to install a new EP system and do customization rather than performing system copy from existing prod EP system because that may still bring those security threat changes to new EP prod system. (we ll decommission the old EP if everything works fine in new EP)
Now I would like to list all the issues we may face in building a new EP system with same SID as that of already existing one and then doing entire customization again in new EP from Basis team point of view. The following are very few i could think of. Could you please add some other concerns you could think of.
1) Keeping in mind that this EP system is in use for more than 6 years, some of the customization could have been done on lower versions. So could those changes be again exported from Dev and imported into new version of EP we are building now ?
2) Can't add two hosts with same name in DNS Server
3) Can't add two systems with same SID in Solution Manager for calculation of SPS to upgrade new EP

You would have to run ipsinstall and install the new gateway. Make sure to follow the installation instruction for installing a gateway.
After you install the gateway you follow the steps in the link you posted to let the server know there is a new gateway.
Then make sure to restart the gateway and server.

Problems with creating SH Schema in exists Database 10.2.0.2

Hello ALL
I have problem with installation SH Demo Schema in exists Oracle Database 10.2.0.2 Enterprise Edition on Windows 2003 EE SP1
First I could try to configure my DB in Oracle Confuguration Assistant but I couldn't to add examles schemas there.
Then I installed Companion 10.2.0.1 with examples schemas in $ORACLE_HOME Database 10.2.0.2 and executed script sh_main.sql under SYS user.
After all SH Schema created in our DB but data exists in only two tables such as COSTS and SALES_TRANSACTIONS_EXT.
I haven't any more data in others tables.
In my log files I see follow :
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (D:\oracle\DB_BI\demo\schema\sales_historydmsal_v3.ctl)
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The system cannot find the file specified.
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (D:\oracle\DB_BI\demo\schema\sales_historydem_v3.ctl)

SQL*Loader-553: file not found
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The system cannot find the file specified.
and etc.
Please help me to install SH Schema in exists DB may be anybody resolved this issue.

The document you are refering to is OK, but it assumes you already have installed the demo files.
In order for the demo to be installed and working, some requirements must be met.
You must have installed DB10g Enterprise Edition, as demos such as SH require the partitioning option, available only on E.E.
Start a second installation from the companion disk, start your oracle installer, select Database Products, verify the Oracle Home details are the same as those of your Oracle Home, confirm the action and install.
At the end of the installation you must see these directories at the $ORACLE_HOME/demo/schema directory:
bus_intelligence mk_dir.sql.ouibak    mkunplug.sql   sales_history
human_resources   mk_dir.sql.ouibak.1 mkverify.sql   shipping
info_exchange     mkplug.sql           order_entry    sted_mkplug.sql.dbl
