LVM and EBS R 12

hi
is there any issue arise if we use LVM on DB tier as partion and apps tier on IBM peoduction server and RHEL5.3 ?
DB 10.2.0.2.0
APPS EBS R12 RUP 6.

Hi You;
I found one note, its not recomended, please check below
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b31107.pdf
Its mention there:
*Raw logical volumes (LVM)—LVMs are supported in less complicated configurations where an LVM is mapped to a LUN, or an LVM uses disks or raw
partitions. LVM configurations are not recommended by Oracle because they create a duplication of functionality. Oracle also does not recommended using
LVMs for mirroring because ASM already provides mirroring.*
But there are some note too:
HOWTO Understand And Use The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) On Linux [ID 858497.1]
Setting up ASM on linux wiht LVM [ID 292348.1]
I belive its best way to confirm it wiht oracle support

How to Deploy 11g Forms and EBS Applications?

Dear All,
Just need to know some technical information regarding EBS.
Previously I have worked with Oracle forms and reports 6i and we used to deploy the application developed in this tool to publish using Application Server 9i/10g. I also have hands on experience on that.
Now after 4 years I am again trying to do some hands-on on later versions.
Just want to know that for Developer Suite 10g, If i developer the application it will be published using Application Server 10g? so that the user can access this application?
How EBS application is host and published?
Will really appreciate your kind help.
Thanks, Imran

Webcenter and ebs R12 integration

Hi,
We are having trouble with integration of WebCenter 11g PS3 with Oracle E-Business suite R12.1 in some of our ebs environments.
The step to set up E-Business suite portlet connection >WebCenter > Settings > Service Configuration > Portlet Producers > WRSP Producer failed with errors like :
Failed imports exist for producer /oracle/adf/portlet/E-Business Suite WSRP Producer_383c5156-9596-4eeb-a005-8b218dc41c33 which is currently not registered in this application.
A request to the producer URL "http://<host>:<port>/OA_HTML/portlets/WSRPServiceDescriptionService" resulted in a status 500 response with fault string "Internal Server Error (Caught exception while handling request: oracle.webdb.wsrp.server.ContainerRuntimeException: An internal error has occurred in method ConsumerRegistration.<init>())". The fault code given was "{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server".
The attempt to register the producer with ID '{1}' for connection '/oracle/adf/portlet/E-Business Suite WSRP Producer_10ce66f7-704f-4512-be60-f297896a6eee' failed.
Also, tried with WLS command - same errors
wls:/ecm_domain/serverConfig> registerWSRPProducer('webcenter', 'E-Business Suite WSRP Producer', 'http://<host>:<port>/OA_HTML/portlets/WSRPBaseService?WSDL', timeout=100, server='WC_Spaces')
It basically timeout. If timeout increases, it takes longer to hit the same error.
This error is only occurring with setting connection to ebs running 2 apps nodes and on RAC database on 2 db servers. Anyone has integrated with ebs with RAC db and multiple apps servers successfully ? If so, what version of Webcenter and ebs ? I've logged an SR and has not progressed much in the last week or two.
I am not sure if this is the right forum, pls let me know if there are any other appropriate forum for this.
Thanks in adv,
Mary

OracleADF and EBS compatibility

Dear colleagues,
I am witting an internal report for my company trying to put in black and white the advantages and disadvantages of OracleADF not only as a framework but as a solution.
Are OracleADF and EBS compatible? Sorry if the question is easy or silly, but I think that there are some things that should be taken to make it compatible if they are not fully compatible.
Thanks again for your time!!
Fern

Fern,
Search on the OAF forum OA Framework
We have discussed it a couples of times though to give you a summary, there are no standard guidelines, integration available for Ebiz with respect to ADF at present.

Lvm and gparted

a few months ago i installed arch linux on my computer. i use reiserfs as a filesystem and i have lvm on it (or is this backwards, i don't know ). i really don't know why i used lvm at installation, but at that time it seemed to me as a great tool to manage different "partitions" (logical volumes) on one partition. now i am thinking to cut a little space from my windows partition and give it to linux. So i have a few (well lots of ) questions.
My specs first:
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 118.5 GB, 118526284800 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14410 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 1912 15358108+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 * 1913 1925 104422+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 1926 14410 100285762+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 1926 4475 20482843+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda6 4476 4606 1052226 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda7 4607 14410 78750598+ 8e Linux LVM
# di -h
Filesystem Mount Size Used Avail %Used fs Type
/dev/mapper/VolGro / 10.0G 4.6G 5.4G 46% reiserfs #VolGroup00-lvol0
/dev/sda2 /boot 101.9M 59.5M 42.4M 58% reiserfs
/dev/mapper/VolGro /home 65.1G 46.6G 18.5G 72% reiserfs #VolGroup00-lvol1
/dev/sda5 /mnt/win 19.5G 12.1G 7.5G 62% fuseblk
And questions:
1. can i resize partitions using gparted without damaging data on them? does this include partitions with lvm on them?
2. can i resize logical volumes on lvm without damaging data on them too? is snapshot used at doing this and how?
3. is there any benefit of using lvm if i can resize partitions without damaging data on them?
4. does changing logical volumes require a restart?
5. why does gparted show that on /dev/sda7 there is only 34 MB of used space?
6. is it ok to have two partitions marked as boot?
thank you for your answers.

With OES11 it's possible and quite easy to use the left free space on the system disk for NSS.
It also does not have the potential for havoc as was the case with OES2 (as with OES2 this was also possible, it just meant using EVMS on the system disk device, which could lead to issues booting after patching of updating due to needed missing kernel modules for EVMS within initrd).
Still, even with it being possible and supported to do so, if you can house the OS bits and data (be it on NSS and other filesystems) on different disk devices.. that would always be what I'd opt for. It makes certain maintenance/recovery and update tasks easier/more flexible/reliable as OS and data partitions are not within one and the same "container".

DB and EBS cloning methods in exadata server

Hi
We are planning to migrate exadata server (Linux 5.3 OS) . My DB will be 11gR2 and EBS 12.1.2
My infrastructire will be like
1st Exadata server will hold PRD DB and application will be on sun linux server
2nd Exadat server will hold DR (only database) and DEV/UAT/TST instance (database) for these instance application will be on sun linux server.
this all sturecture will be with RAC and ASM.
As on DR server we are planning to have TST/DEV/UAT database and we use RMAN for DB backup. I would like to know the cloning (DB and EBS) methods (standards and customs) for existing environments. We want to clone my instance on daily basis from my runing DR site.
Kindly suggest some action plan.
Thanks

[solved] Can't boot with LVM and usb external disk

I successfully installed Archlinux on my first computer, using LVM on two internal Hard Drives.
I'm trying to do exactly the same on my second computer, but I got a problem: the LVM volume is not found at boot, so that the root partition can't be mounted and the boot fails.
The only difference is that, on my second computer, the second hard drive is connected through USB.
Some hints: my second computer boots perfectly with LVM and Ubuntu. Archlinux needs to be configured adequately.
I tried to add rootdelay=30 in menu.lst, but it changes nothing. Of course, in /etc/rc.conf I have USELVM="yes" and in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf I have HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata keymap lvm2 filesystems"
Thank you for helping me to keep Archlinux on my second computer!
Last edited by Achille (2008-06-29 21:59:09)

I finally solved my problem!
In the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, I modified the MODULES loaded:
MODULES="pata_acpi ata_generic ata_piix usbcore usb_storage uhci_hcd ehci_hcd sg scsi_mod sd_mod dm_mod"
I also add in the file /lib/initcpio/hooks/lvm2 the line /bin/sleep 10
/bin/sleep 10
msg "Scanning logical volumes..."
And finally, I ran the command:
mkinitcpio -p kernel26

Custom Build AIA PIP between Siebel and eBS

Hi,
I have a project where in I am integrating Siebel and eBS systems.There are different process flow integrations that I need to integrate between these 2 systems.I know there is O2C PIP for integrating between these systems.But due to some reasons my company doesnt want to pursue using O2C PIP for integrations.So I would like to know
-> if there is any other PIP for this purpose OR
->If we can build a custom AIA PIP for this and what are the pros and cons of it and tasks we would need to do for successful integrations of different process flows? OR
->if there is any way in SOA suite that we can use to integrate between these systems for different process flows?I wanted to know how OracleASadapters (packaged based adapters) for Siebel can work in this case and pros and cons for using this adapters?
->if there is any other way,please let me know!
Thanks,
S

Hi,
I don't think we have any PIP other than O2C to integrate Siebel with Ebiz.
It is the matter of evaluating to what extent the out of the box PIP answers the integration requirement. As per my understanding no PIP suits 100% for any given business integration, it has to be tweaked for sure. It should be the architect decision comparing the effort of scratch development vs using PIP.
One has to understand the best practices for building AIA integration otherwise we end up making tightly coupled integration which make no sense of using AIA foundation pack. Read best practices of AIA development.
The core advantage of using AIA foundation pack is that enables the central hub of integration between any systems leaving a room for integration of other business applications. You can also build simple composites to integrate without following AIA principles but it is as simple as making P2P integration.

How to customize SSO Login URL and EBS AppsLocalLogin URL

EBS version is 12.1.3 with SSO enabled (version 10.1.4.3)
Original URL as follows:
1) SSO Login : http://cmcsifsdev01.cmc.gov.my:8006
2) EBS Local Login : http://cmcsifsdev01.cmc.gov.my:8006/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp
There was a requirement from user to change the HTTP port from 8006 to 80 and use custom url. Using metalink note : How To Configure Apache In R12 (10.1.3) To Listen on a Restricted Port Such as 80 or 443 [ID 578001.1], i managed to change it as follows:
Current URL
1) SSO Login : http://sifsstg.skmm.gov.my
2) EBS Local Login : http://sifsstg.skmm.gov.my/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp
But there is new requirement to the current URL as follows:
New requirement:
1) SSO Login : http://sifsstgsso.skmm.gov.my (change from 'http://sifsstg.skmm.gov.my' to 'http://sifsstgsso.skmm.gov.my')
2) EBS Local Login : http://sifsstg.skmm.gov.my (change from 'http://sifsstg.skmm.gov.my/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp' to 'http://sifsstg.skmm.gov.my')
Is it possible to implement this new requirement? If possible, please advice me further.
Appreciate any comments. Thank you in advance.

How many web tiers do u have?
For,
1) SSO Login : http://sifsstgsso.skmm.gov.my (change from 'http://sifsstg.skmm.gov.my' to 'http://sifsstgsso.skmm.gov.my')
You can define change the EBS HTTP server to use a Virtual Host/Reverse Proxy in front (e.g. WebCache/Apache Standalone). Do re-register this mid tier with SSO Server.
You can follow:- Installing and Configuring Web Cache 10g and Oracle E-Business Suite 12 [ID 380486.1]
However that same web server is servicing for AppsLocalLogin.jsp also. So i am not really sure whether u can really define another virtual host on RP side to access it with a different URL.
(2) EBS Local Login : http://sifsstg.skmm.gov.my (change from 'http://sifsstg.skmm.gov.my/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp' to 'http://sifsstg.skmm.gov.my'))

Apex Listener and EBS

Has anyone deployed Apex listener to work with EBS-R12 ? Did you deploy the war on the Application Server of EBS or did you deploy a new application server ?

I know exactly what you want, to embed the Apex listener servlet into the EBS OC4J, using autoconfig. I have done this before, but with my own servlet written from scratch, and it works very well. I had a go at integrating the the Apex listener servlet into an R12 instance a while back, and I actually got it to respond, but the URLs it was generating were not correct, so I gave up. I cannot remember the exact details, I got frustrated because I didn't have the time to wade through de-compiled source code to see what it was doing.
Here is the rough guide to getting a custom servlet embedded into the EBS R12 OC4J engine. You or somebody else could pick this one up, I don't have the time sorry.
Place your jar file in $JAVA_TOP (you may have to unzip it to get the class files usable by the JRE).
Navigate to the template directory.
cd $FND_TOP/admin/template
Create the "custom" directory if it does not already exist.
mkdir custom
If the file orion_web_xml_1013.tmp does not already exist in the "custom" directory then copy it in. Be careful not to overwrite an existing copy of this file or you may lose pre-existing customizations.
cp orion_web_xml_1013.tmp custom
Move into the custom directory and edit the custom template file.
cd custom
vi orion_web_xml_1013.tmp
Define your servlet: Paste the following lines just before the TCF alias (approximately line 162).
<servlet>
<servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.anything.myServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
Paste the following lines just before the TCF aliases (approximately line 950).
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/myServlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
4. Run Autoconfig
cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
adautocfg.sh
5. Bounce Apache
adapcctl.sh stop
adoacorectl.sh stop
adoacorectl.sh start
adapcctl.sh start
6. Test the Servlet
To test whether the servlet has been installed correctly, first get the value of profile option "Apps Servlet Agent".
Then enter the following URL in your browser:
<<value of profile option>>/myServlet/hello
Good luck,
Steve

Some questions about the integration between BIEE and EBS

Hi, dear,
I'm a new bie of BIEE. In these days, have a look about BIEE architecture and the BIEE components. In the next project, there are some work about BIEE development based on EBS application. I have some questions about the integration :
1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?
could anyone give some guide for me? I'm very appreciated if you can also give any other information.
Thanks in advance.

1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?You, shud consider OBI Application here which uses OBIEE as a reporting tool with different pre-built modules. Both 10g & 11g comes with different versions of BI apps which supports sources like Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards etc..
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?Its independent of any soure. This is OBIEE modeling to create RPD with all the layers. If you build it from scratch then you will require to create all the layers else if BI Apps is used then you will get pre-built RPD along with other pre-built components.
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?BI apps comes with pre-built ETL mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only BI Apps 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI but oracle has plans to have only ODI for any further releases.
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?User will still see old data because its good to turn on Cache and purge it after every load.

Can I install oracle VM server with lvm and md raid?

Hello,
I am trying to install oracle vm server 2.1.2 on a server with md raid and I would like to use lvm on it. It seems to me that the installer md raid support is not working and lvm support is missing.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Mario Giammarco

Hi,
now i understand...
hm - if the install does let you create a raid ( mdraid ) -> you can try to setup the system preconfigured by anaconda...
the lines would be like following:
part swap size 8000 asprimary --ondisk cciss/c0d0
part swap size 8000 asprimary --ondisk cciss/c0d1
part /boot fstype ext3 size 200 asprimary ondisk cciss/c0d0
part / fstype ext3 size 14750 asprimary ondisk cciss/c0d0
part /appl fstype ext3 size 30000 asprimary ondisk cciss/c0d1
part raid.01 size 1000 grow --ondisk cciss/c0d0
part raid.02 size 1000 grow --ondisk cciss/c0d1
raid /disk/disk1 level 0 device=md0 --fstype ext3 raid.01 raid.02
-> check out the your anaconda file: #/root/anaconda*
-> -> modify the part lines and setup a anaconda installer...
( would also a better idea - if you like to install standarized systems )
let me know - if you need assistance with anaconda...
