MAIN STEPS IN MOVING 9i single instance TO 10 g RAC

Hello Guys,
colud you give me some basic steps, general idea how to move normal single instance database 9i (windows platform) to 10g RAC (linux)?
Maybe these are correct steps ?:
1 Migrate database to 10g ?
2. Migrate to ASM
3. Duplicate this db twith RMAN to 10g RAC databasE?
Best Regards
Radek

Since you are moving from one OS to another - is export/import an option for the move from Windows to Linux? If yes then here are high level steps:
Export/Import Option:
1) Install and configure CRS/RAC on Linux
2) Create a RAC database on Linux
3) Pre-create tablespaces as it exists in your Oracle9i database
4) Export from 9i and import into 10g.
If not:
On Windows:
1) Install Oracle10g
2) Upgrade your Oracle9i to Oracle10g
3) Install/Configure CRS/RAC on your Linux
4) Create a RAC database.
5) Use RMAN's CONVERT option for cross-platform move of tablespaces from win to linux (check this http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/dbxptrn001.htm#sthref1383 for more information on this)
You almost got all the steps for the second option, except that I have just included step 5.

Thanks

  • Restore single instance rman backup to rac database

    Hello all. I have a 10gR2 single instance database that I have been taking backups using the oracle's suggested backup strategy, that is, once full database backup and incremental backups here and there. That's is all fine as I have (many times) being requested to rollback the database resulting in all operations being sucessfull.
    However, since this is somehow a pre-certification database, I am now being tasked to restore this database to what is going to be our production database, which is a 10gR2 rac database. I have already set up the RAC database sucessfull.
    Now, my question is: How can I take one of the backups that I have on the single-instance database and restore onto my RAC database ?
    Some information about the infraestructure:
    Both operating systems are HP-UX. Single instance is 11.23, RAC database is 11.31.
    Both database are using ASM as datafiles storage and flash recovery area storage.
    Any help will be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    In general terms, there are several ways you can convert a single instance into a rac intance, and it involves much more activities than just adding redo threads.
    Use of DBCA
    Enterprise Manager Grid Control
    rconfig utility
    Considering your case, if you don't currently have Grid Control, the first option is rconfig.
    1. Migrate your database from the current environment to the target environment by a regular cloning procedure, this will create a single instance into your rac environment. Your regular rdbms rac installation allows you to manage both, single instance and rac instances. Use this procedure to clone your database to the target RAC environment using recovery manager --> http://madrid9999.googlepages.com/rmancloneadatabase
    2. Once you have started your database in the RAC environment proceed with the rconfig tool, this requires some files to perform the conversion, the ConvertToRAC.xml file which is located at $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLs
    3. Once you copied/edited the ConvertToRAC.xml file, you have to run the rconfig. Save the ConvertToRAC.xml under a different file name.
    rconfig editedConvertToRAC.xml
    4. For further reference on the rconfig command, you may refer to this page Oracle® Real Application Clusters Installation Guide

  • SharePoint Designer workflow executing same lines\steps multiple time in single instance

    I am working SharePoint 2010 workflow. I am facing an issue.
    Problem:
    1) I have few workflows running on different situation
    2) Out of all workflows one is set to execute on "Item Created"
    3) This workflow having some lines to execute and then create an item and then wait for a change in field value.
    4) Expectation: This should create one instance and execute the lines\steps only once and wait for field change.
    5) Actual Out-Come: The workflow is executing the lines\steps three times in a single instance.
    6) The workflow history is showing the three time execution of all lines\steps using log to history.
    7) It is a SPD workflow so there is no while loop. but it behaving like while loop.
    8) On create Item, we are creating task, so it is creating three tasks. It is sending three emails and also we are appending text in title so text is appended three times.
    I did a lot of research but not able to find the solution.
    Please help.
    - Khan Abubakar Disclaimer: The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions and do not represent any others view in anyway.

    Hi Khan,
    According to your description, my understanding is that your workflow executed some actions three times.
    What actions did you for the problematic actions?
    If they are "Start Approval Process" action, please check whether there are multiple approvers for tasks. If yes, the action will create one task for each approver.
    Please create a new list and a new workflow based on the problematic workflow, test again, compare the result.
    For reproducing your issue, I suggest you provide more information about your list and workflow (detailed actions or some screenshots). It will make others in the forum easy to find a solution for you.

  • Benefit of RAC over single instance

    Dear,
    There would be up-gradation of our main system from oracle 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.4. The management wants to stay on single instance as it is now. But Oracle RAC is something that is must for all the critical system I need to present the benefit of RAC over single instance considering the high cost. Can you show me the benefits of RAC that ppl would go for it instead  of single instance????

    Hi,
    The Benefits of Oracle Real Application Clusters.
    High Availability-Oracle Real Application Clusters 11g provides the foundation for data centre-high availability. It is also
    an integral component of Oracle’s Maximum Availability Architecture, which provides best practices to
    provide the highest availability for your data center. Oracle Real Application provides the following ke
    characteristics essential for a high available data management
    Reliability – The Oracle Database is known for its reliability. Oracle Real Application Clusters takes this
    a step further by removing the database server as a single point of failure. If an instance fails, the
    remaining instances in the server pool remain open and active. Oracle Clusterware monitors all Oracle
    processes and immediately restarts any failed component.
    Recoverability – The Oracle Database includes many features that make it easy to recover from all
    types of failures. If an instance fails in an Oracle RAC database, it is recognized by another instance in
    the server pool and recovery will start automatically. Fast Application Notification (FAN) and Fast
    Connection Failover (FCF) or Transparent Application Failover (TAF) make it easy for applications to
    mask component failures from the user.
    Error Detection – Oracle Clusterware automatically monitors Oracle RAC databases as well as other
    Oracle processes (ASM, listener, etc) and provides fast detection of problems in the environment. It also
    automatically recovers from failures often before users noticed that a failure has occurred. Fast
    Application Notification (FAN) provides the ability for applications to receive immediate notification of
    cluster component failures in order to re-issue the transaction before the failure surfaces.
    Continuous Operations – Oracle Real Application Clusters provides continuous service for both
    planned and unplanned outages. If a server (or an instance) fails, the database remains open and the
    application is able to access data. Most database maintenance operations can be completed without
    downtime and are transparent to the user. Many other maintenance tasks can be done in a rolling
    fashion so application downtime is minimized or removed. Fast Application Notification and Fast
    Connection Failover assist applications in meeting service levels.
    Scalability-Oracle Real Application Clusters provides a unique technology for scaling applications. Traditionally,
    when database servers ran out of capacity, they were replaced with new and larger servers. As servers
    grow in capacity, they are more expensive. For databases using Oracle RAC, there are alternatives for
    increasing the capacity. Applications that have traditionally run on large SMP servers can be migrated to
    run on pools of small servers. Alternatively, you can maintain the investment in the current hardware and
    add a new servers to the pool (or to create a server pool) to increase the capacity. Adding servers to a
    server pool with Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC does not require an outage and as soon as the new
    instances are started, the application can take advantage of the extra capacity. All servers in the server pool
    must run the same operating system and the same version of Oracle, but they do not have to be of exactly
    the same capacity. Customers today run server pools that fit their needs often using servers of (slightly)
    different characteristics.

  • Agent issue with 10.2.0.4 on RHEL 4 for single instance db.

    Hi,
    I had 2 instances that were not able to upload nor where they secure.

    EMD upload error: uploadXMLFiles skipped :: OMS version not checked yet..
    So, with this one instance and agent, I keep going in loops with the same 2 errors:
    1. EMD upload error: uploadXMLFiles skipped :: OMS version not checked yet..
    2. The OMS is not set up for Enterprise Manager Security.
    I even followed related messages on the forums here to try to resolve the issue, but this did not work:
    '- emctl stop agent
    - delete all files in $AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/upload and $AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/state
    - emctl clearstate agent (this should delete all state files but sometimes it is not enough, but I experienced that it is better to use this command after deletion of the files)
    - emctl secure agent (and specify the password on demand)
    - emctl start agent'
    Any advice or help on HOW to secure this instance's agent and get it to upload would be greatly appreciated.

    I guess I solved my own issue, however I basically had to drop and recreate the repository and grid control for the instance, thus loosing over 3300 XML files, but now the agent is working and the server is running secure. I simply did:
    emca -config dbcontrol db -repos recreate
    And answered all the questions... I am wondering if the 3300+ xml files I deleted by following some guy's response in a similar thread was necessary, and if it was not, I wonder if I would have been able to upload all of the files after executing and rebuilding....

    Since you have dropped the repository thats why it was needed to deleted the previous files

  • SAP Script need to display main window two times on single page.

    Hello Guru's,
    So here is my requirement, we need to print check. We are using F110_PRENUM_CHCK and linked with driver prog RFFOUS_C. We have Letter size paper with three sections,
    1. Check
    2. Voucher Section (containing table of element 515, 525 and 530) 515: Heading, 525 : Regup-Belnr, Regup-XBLNR, Regud-Wrbtr.
                                                                                    530: Regup-SGTXT
    3. Voucher Section (As a receipt for bank itself) : contains same data as 2nd section.
    I tried several things reading all the previous post over here in SDN.
    1. Created Z form created two instances of main window it results just single display of table (voucher section) in section two and not in third.
    2. I also tried pasting two times same code in single main window which gives only last item line for the table.
    3. Created z driver program made changes in Write_form added control form for element 515 that does results in showing element 515 on both the location.
                CALL FUNCTION 'CONTROL_FORM'
                  EXPORTING
                    command   = 'NEW-WINDOW'
                  EXCEPTIONS
                    unopened  = 1
                    unstarted = 2
                    OTHERS    = 3.
                CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
                  EXPORTING
                    element = '515'
                  EXCEPTIONS
                    window  = 1
                    element = 2.
    3. For Element 525 and element 530 is not acting same. In the prog 525 = hlp_ep_element. And there are many write_form for this. I tried pasting each and every place same kind of code. It doesnt work. what it do it gives me three pages of output repeating every thing twice and weirdly.
    I am need this to be done as I already took so much time solving nothing is working.
    Please give me the exact location where to paste this code so I can have two times data of main window.
    Or is there any other way to do this....Any way will be good for me as long as it shows two times data in the form.
    The data is table.

    Hi Manju,
    I create a new window (no main) but does not run, please can you tell me what should I do to make it work.
    Best regards.
    Robert.

  • Single-instance manual standby for a three-node RAC database

    Hi all,
    I am wondering how it is possible to create a manual standby database for a rac primary database.
    Oracle versione is standard edition 11.1.
    I have experience creating and managing manual standby for single-instance database; I am wondering if and how I can instruct the single-instance standby database to discover and apply the three redo threads that I will copy from the primary site to the standby site.
    Should I use rman to catalog all the archived log on the standby site ?
    Should I configure many LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters to point to many different path, one for each primary instance (i.e. one for each redo thread), and let rman automagically discover all the archived logs ?
    Should I configure only LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 , put archivelogs from all threads in the same folder, and let rman automagically discover all the archived logs ?
    Thanks for every answer!
    Andrea

    Hi,
    indeed i catalog all transfered archive logs in front of the recover process.
    During the tests i believe (iirc) i was unable to recover from transfered archivelogs without catalog them first. But this statement is out of my mind, i am not 100% sure for this, sorry.
    Some more details.
    Because it is a standard edition, i have to use on the RAC side ASM. So our normal scripts to transfer archivelogs from primary to standby are obsolete.
    So i decided to put the whole standby thing into the database. Now the primary database uses external scheduler jobs to do the work. The standby side is not using ASM, so there is no need to handle the logs in any special way.
    The steps are:
    1. Get SCN from primary and standby
    2. Transfer the logs for the gap from ASM to "normal" filesystem.
    3. Transfer (and compress, if not in LAN) to standby archive dest
    4. Catalog on standby side
    5. Recover on standby side
    6. Delete on normal filesystem (on both sides, but on standby with a delay of 2 days just to be sure)
    The steps on the standby side are both using the primary scn from step 1 as a parameter to avoid error messages during the catalog or recover call.

  • Configuring multiple services in a single instance database

    Dear All,
    I would like to create multiple service names for a single instance oracle database (10.2.0.3 on IBM - AIX 6.1). I tried searching on the net, reading documentation, and also on the metalink but couldn't find anything relevant to single instance database.
    Say I have two users, userA and userB, for which I would like to use two services (ServA and ServB) to connect to the same single instance database.
    Any help in this direction is appreciated.
    Regards

    Thanks for your quick solution.
    By the time you answered I was able to locate it in the documentation. I have tested it and its working perfectly. Here's the documenation link.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams188.htm#i1133481
    It is very hard to believe you didn't find this in the documentation, and my suspicion is you didn't search for it at all.It is very hard to believe that you don't trust others and end up in suspicion. I wish you were sitting next to me while I was searching for the link/document.It is because the vast majority of doc questions are asked by people who don't read the docs at all.
    Now, I'm curious about your requirement. While it can be done, it is pretty unusual. That always leads me to want to step back from the technical question and ask What business problem is this solving?
