Installing second domain for forms testing environment?

Hi!
I've a physical windows server for running my forms applications (11.1). On installing fusion middleware suite I created a domain with the assistant. Further more another assistent configured my forms server into this domain.
The problem is that I've no forms testing environment. So the idea was to create another domain for testing and setup a second forms server in this new testing domain. The pysical machine has enough power to server both domains.
Is this a supported configuration and can it be done with the assistants?
Thanks
Markus

I wouldn't say that the additional administration effort is much or bad. I also don't agree 100% that the dev instance don't influence the prod instance when both are hosted on the same server.
When hosting both instances on one server and one oracle home you will always be on the same patchset on the OS and Oracle side.
Consider you are encountering a bug in forms when developing a new feature which is fixed in a one-off patch. To test this one-off patch in dev you most certainly will have to take down the production instance too as both of them will access the same Oracle Home and Middleware Home. Same thing is for OS patches. If you are seperating dev and prod instances on different machines you have the possibility to test your configurations proper on your test machine without influencing production.
This will guarantee you that you have always a tested environment in production.
Think about scalability: developers tend to make boo-boos while developing new things. One forms session <can> take down a whole machine (I have seen that and I have done that - on a development machine). If this happens on a development machine you have 10 angry developers which can be calmed down with a sixpack beer; 100+ people plus the managment which should be working with the software you developed are not tranquilized so easy when they cannot work for 20 minutes because of a infinite loop in development ;).
I agree that you might have additional license costs; but if memory serves Oracle VM and Oracle Enterprise Linux have no additional license costs which breaks down the costs to OFMW 11g. And I am not too sure if you have to pay (the full price) for development instances (I am a developer, not a sales person). But this is best discussed with your oracle sales representative.
Again, this is just my opinion; maybe someone else can give you more input.
cheers

Best practice for the test environment & DBA plan Activities Documents

Dears,,
In our company, we made sizing for hardware.
we have Three environments ( Test/Development , Training , Production ).
But, the test environment servers less than Production environment servers.
My question is:
How to make the best practice for the test environment?
( Is there any recommendations from Oracle related to this , any PDF files help me ............ )
Also please , Can I have a detail document regarding the DBA plan activities?
I appreciate your help and advise
Thanks
Edited by: user4520487 on Mar 3, 2009 11:08 PM

Follow your build document for the same steps you used to build production.
You should know where all your code is. You can use the deployment manager to export your configurations. Export customized files from MDS. Just follow the process again, and you will have a clean instance not containing production data.
It only takes a lot of time if your client is lacking documentation or if you re not familiar with all the parts of the environment. What's 2-3 hours compared to all the issues you will run into if you copy databases or import/export schemas?

I want to evaluate how it works, can we leverage for Functional/regression tesitng...
Please advise...

Hello
You should be able to install OpenScript only using the micro install distribution. You can just skip the steps concerning XE & WLS installation/connection.

Best Practice - Hardware requirements for exchange test environment

Hi Experts,
I'm new to exchange and I want to have a test environment for learning, testing ,batches and updates.
In our environment we have co-existence 2010 and 2013 and I need to have a close scenario on my test environment.
I was thinking of having an isolated (not domain joined) high end workstation laptop with (quad core i7, 32GB RAM, 1T SSD) to implement the environment on it, but the management refused and replied "do it on one of the free servers within the live production
environment at the Data Center"... !
I'm afraid of doing so not to corrupt the production environment with any mistake by my configuration "I'm not that exchange expert who could revert back if something wrong happened".
Is there a documented Microsoft recommendation on how to do it and where to do so to be able to send it to them ??
OR/ Could someone help with the best practice on where to have my test environment and how to set it up??
Many Thanks
Mohamed Ibrahim

I think this may be useful:
It's their official test lab set up guide.

Also, your spec should be fine as long as you run the VMs within their means.

SAP Licensing for a Test Environment

One of our clients has created a test environment physically seperate from the Production environment (That is on two seperate machines). All their purchased SAP B1 licenses are being used in the production system. If you select additional licenses, they are only temporary and expire in 14 days from creation.
How do you get valid licenses into the Test Environment that will always be active without having to reduce the licenses that are allocated to the Production system?

Thank you all for your helpful answers.
I understand about creating a test database in the Production system and it use of the same License Manager
However this does not work if you are trying to test patches or major release upgrades because once you apply the upgrade / patch to the test database in the production environment the code base is now changed and the production database would then be updated.
In order to isolate the test of upgrades, patch levels, major functionality etc., you need to build a separate environment on different hardware to do the testing. That is what we have done.
Since the license server is not shared the separate test environment needs to have a license file that reflects its hardware key.
When I go to create that license file and I specify "Test System" for the system, the license file is only created with temporary licenses which inactivate in 14 days.
I need to know if there is a way to create the license file without the licenses being inactivated and without reducing the number of licenses available to the Production System.

Is there any best practice for printer configuration for test environment?

My Oracle ebs test environment has a scheduled refresh period where it will be refreshed with production test data and configuration time to time for BA, Dev to work on their enhancement.
However, all the printer configurations are still pointing to production ones after refreshed, which means whenever there is a testing on-going, the doc / label / invoices will be printed to production printer.
May I know if there is a way to globally change all the printer setup for the test environment, so that nothing will be directly to production?... Please assist.
(currently, the only way is to change one by one and only if you are aware of it...)
In case your organization has any other strategy on this matter, pls share also... Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.If you do not want to use same printers then you have to it to point to the (TEST/BA Printers) after you are done with Rapid Clone. Any new printers need to be added manually (just the same way you defined you PROD printers) -- Rapid Clone Documentation Resources For Release 11i and 12 [ID 799735.1]
If you want to edit the configuration, you could use FNDLOAD to download printers definition from the source instance, update the ldt file and use FNDLOAD to upload printers definitions.

BPEL DEV and TEST Environment

Hello All,
I have situation with a client. The Client wants to install a BPEL DEV and TEST environment on one Server Instance and One Database Instance.
I know we can have multiple App Server Instances on a single Physical Server.
But the question is about having just one Database Instance. Can multiple BPEL schemas reside on same database with different schema names like orabpelDEV and orabpelTEST? Can the default schemas names orabpel, oraesb be renamed for different environment? If so how do I do it?
Any other suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhay.
PS: BPEL 10.1.2 is being used with MID TIER Installation

In the documentation of the App Server in chapter 4 it's all about BPEL clustering:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28980/clusteringsoa.htm
This can also apply to your environment. It is possible to have multiple BPEL PM server using one signle database and the same dehydration store. This helps you to increase the througput, scalibility and reailibility.
You can also implement multiple BPEL domains on a single BPEL server. In this way you can implement a OT(AP) environment.

Easiest way to install update rollups for exchnage 2010

Dear Mates,
i have downloaded the update roll ups from RU 1 to RU 7 for my test environment exchange 2010 and i would like install all the update roll ups in all my exchange servers (8 No's). what is the easy method to install all the RU's in single command, or
batch file or from any scripts, instead of double click on each files (RU's)and giving next next next...etc....it should automatically install the RUS
Guide me , if there is any way to achieve this

Hi rush2ramki
Thank you for your question.
I agree with Andy.
Notice:
you can follow the order to update : Client Access server, Hub Transport server, Mailbox server
If you have multiple Active Directory sites and have deployed a Client Access server in the proxy sites that aren't Internet-facing, apply the update rollup to the Internet-facing Client Access servers before you apply the update rollup to the non-Internet-facing
Client Access servers.
You can refer to the following :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff637979(v=exchg.141).aspx
If there are any questions, please let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Prepare Exchange 2010 Test Environment with Hyper V

Hi
We are preparing a test environment to check the migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013 and to get familiarized with 2013. Created the VMs of existing Domain Controllers using D2V tool, looking for suggestion on how to prepare the Exchange 2010 servers
( 2 X MB servers in 1 DAG and 2 X Hub/CAS servers in WNLB) in VM environment - either by creating VMs of existing physical servers using D2V without DB storage LUNs (Dial tone DBs) or prepare the Exchange 2010 servers from DCs created in test lab.
Thanks in advance

There's got to be a question in here somewhere. How about a guide to setting up Exchange 2010 that you can then use for a test environment:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff709381(v=EXCHG.141).aspx
Now, if you are asking how to configure your test environment to mimic production, you should probably get directory exports of your users, groups, and contacts (rather than trying to remove a production domain controller to use as the initial domain controller
in your test environment), since it allows you to connect between the two environments without jumping through huge numbers of hoops - it also allows you to send email between them, which can be useful when testing external connectors.

Issue with External Form Repost in Testing Environment

Please help!
We are attempting to add an Eloqua repost to our webform on https://www.2checkout.com/signup. We are a payment processor and therefore, our customer admin area, of which this page is a part, must maintain various compliance standards. With this in mind, we are testing the repost in our test environment, which sits on https://va.test.2checkout.com. I've double-checked and our eloqua tracking scripts are picking up these pages.
When we run the repost, the line of code to get the GUID -
elqQ.push(['elqGetCustomerGUID']);
is erroring. I've attached a screenshot.
For reference, we're using the code illustrated in Thomas Reyto's Topliner's post: http://topliners.eloqua.com/community/do_it/blog/2012/04/17/how-to-repost-an-externally-hosted-form-to-eloqua.
Any assistance in determining the issue would be most appreciated! As mentioned, we really want to get this working in the test environment before we push it live, as it could break our sign up process otherwise.
Thank you Topliners!

Jennifer Comisford the JavaScript snippet to include elqcfg.min.js on your page? The waituntilCustomerGuidIsRetrieved function is defined in the elqcfg.min.js tracking script. From the error it looks like your page has not loaded the file correctly.
<script type="text/javascript">
    var _elqQ = _elqQ || [];
    _elqQ.push(['elqSetSiteId', '#########']);
    _elqQ.push(['elqTrackPageView']);
    (function () {
        function async_load() {
            var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true;
            s.src = '//img.en25.com/i/elqCfg.min.js';
            var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x);
        if (window.addEventListener) window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', async_load, false);
        else if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent('onload', async_load);

Help... I need help to install a server for my form to run on web

Hi there,
I installed a New server with Windows 2003.
I have some oracle forms developed using 6i, I don't mind to convert them later.
What other oracle 10g software I need to install to have my oracle forms and reports to run on web?
I tried to install in this sequence but not working:-
1- windows 2003
2- IIS
3- Oracle Developer Suite
Then I removed IIS and installed the Oracle SOA Application server also still cannot.
What did I do wrong or what should I install (I meant by sequence?)
Please advise.
Thank you

Why installing IIS o_O?
For Installing a developer Machine just install Oracle Developer suite; for testing your forms you use OC4J ("start OC4J instance" in start menu), and you can run your forms in web; no need for a aditional webserver (don't believe there's an OC4J connector for IIS available; and if so I wouldn't use it either ;-))
For Installing a server for "productional" use install Oracle Application Server (available on otn) which comes with an Apache as webserver and all the other needful things for runnung forms on the web.
For configuring both of them just take a look at the documentations on http://otn.oracle.com

How to change parsing schema for using application in test environment?

Hi,
I set up a test environment, i.e. an other Oracle schema with identical tables, views etc. to the productive environment. I wanted to duplicate the APEX application so that there will be a test version using the test Oracle schema and productive version using the productive oracle schema.
Can some one please give me some tip how to do this? As far as I see i could change the parsing schema in the APEX Application install SQL in the following ways:
1. While exportin the application with APEX
2. In the result install f...sql file using search-replace
3. While importing the APEX application via APEX Development GUI.
I would prefere 1. or 3. but in both cases when I would like to change the schema name, the drop dowl list does not contain the test Oracle schema name. Do I have to grant something to the APEX worksspace schema for the test schema name to show up in the drop dowl list?
Tamás

On that screen,
- click Create
- select "Existing" Schema, click Next
- select the Workspace, click Next
- select the Schema, click Next
- click Add Schema
And now you'll end up with two schema's attached for the same Workspace.

Customer registration form won't display in testing environment.

Hi everyone,
I am using DWCS3 with the free version of MAMP.
I have put a customer registration form together and have just started to add the php $mailSent code.
In design view everything seems to be o.k the three gold shields are displayed at the top of my page.
However when I try to view the page in my local testing environment, the page doesn't display at all I just get a white screen. I was also getting an error message suggesting my site url's weren't mapped properly, or, my server wasn't serving pages with a .php extension.
I checked my datetest page and that is displaying today's date, I also checked my phpinfo page and that is also displaying.
I also checked that my site url's are mapped properly, I would say they are because my other site pages e.g. index page, links page, about page ect are opening up in my testing browser.
I have added my code for anyone to take a look at;
the 1st block of code I added at the top of the document before the <!DOCTYPE> (suggested in The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3)
the 2nd block of code is added just after the page's main heading.
the 3rd line of code is added to the form action in the opening form tag.
Could someone please help, as I am stumped.
Thankyou.
<?php
if (array_key_exists('send', $_POST)) {
//mail processing script
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Customer Registration from HLPhotography';
//process the $_POST variables
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$postcode = $_POST['postcode'];
//build the message
$message = "Name: $name\n\n";
$message .= "Email: $email\n\n";
$message .= "Postcode: $postcode";
//limit line length to 70 characters
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);
//send it
$mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message);
?>
   <?php
if ($_POST && !$mailSent) {
?>
    <p class="warning">Sorry there was a problem sending your message, please try later.</p>
    <?php
elseif ($_POST && $mailSent) {
?>
    <p><strong>Your message has been sent thankyou for registering your details.
    </strong></p>
    <?php } ?>
<form id="formcusrg" name="formcusrg" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?">

Sorry, I can't help with your question, I'm not a php guru :-)   but you may want to edit out that email address if it's a live one - it will get hit by the bots if left here too long !

Minimum Install for Forms, Developer?

I want to learn Forms and Designer, but would prefer not to have to run the whole Oracle environment on my XP box. I have access to an existing Oracle database on a remote server, which I currently access through ADO / ODBC with no trouble.
I've downloaded the 10g developer suite, but trying to run setup.exe achieves nothing - brief hourglass, then nothing. If I go into the Disk1\install directory and run the setup there, it installs all that stuff I don't want installed, but STILL no Developer or Forms.
What am I doing wrong?
Ta.

Unfortunately, you'll need to do at least a minimal Oracle client install. While we probably don't actually rely on everything that gets installed here, we don't test our driver with anything less than a minimal install.
