Move apps tier to new server

Hi all,
here we have 2 node setup
node 1 : apps + db (cm + db)
node 2 : apps (web + forms)
requirement is we want to move node 2 to new server bcoz os team wants to do some maintainance on node 2.
is this possible to move only node 2 (web + forms) to new server through rapid clone n sync with existing cm and db node or we have to move entire setup to new servers
links n MOS doc ids highly appreciated
versions:
apps : 11.5.9
db: 9.2.0.8
os : RHEL 4
Thanks,
Haafiz

Yes it is possible and all you need to do is the following (you don't need to move node1):
- Install OS on the new server + OS pre-req software and packages
- Run preclone on node 2
- Shutdown the application on node 2 and copy the files to the new node
- Run postclone on the new node
- Clean FND_NODES and run AutoConfig

Move database to the new server

Hello,
I have 10.2.0.1 Standard Edition database (7GB, not in archivelog mode) on Windows2003 server, and need to move it to the new server (same environment). I thought to use OEM Clone option, but it appears cloning to the other host is working only in Grid - and I have DB Control.
I know about manual cloning/recreation, but now looking into export and import option. So I think to install Oracle database on the new server, then import some relevant tablespaces exported from the old database. I will use datapump utility in OEM, under system username.
Is that a good approach ? What rules should be applied to avoid problems in that case ? Sorry if it's very basic question, never moved database before.
Marina

Options for porting the database from one server to another after installing Oracle on the new server incldue
Export/Import using expdp/impdp
Rman duplicate to compatiable hardware
Rman file conversion to non-compatiable hardware
On advantage of expdp/impdp is this option supports reconfiguring the database tablespace/file/object storage layout as part of the migration. Also the adoption of new features like ASSM.
A disadvantage is that using expdp/impdp will probably be slower and involve more DBA work than using file copies via rman. There are approaches to reduce the clock time necessary to support export/import and the work is often beneficial for long-term database management efforts.
There have been threads on this topic before and failry recently. You might want to hunt one or two of them down.

Move Publisher backup to new server( Cold Standby Server) ?

We have CUCM cluster consist of 1 publisher, 4 subscriber and have installed a new node like another cluster's publisher(with diferent ip address from existing publisher) . When existing publisher goes down we will move publisher backup to new server and change publisher ip address to new server on existing subscribers.
is it posible ?
Our aim is using new server for publisher down issue.(like cold standby server but diferent ip address from existing publisher)
Or is there any better way to install publisher backup on on branch? When publisher goes down we will use the new server like publisher.

Hi
Re: NTP... you can have multiple NTP servers assigned, and only the primary NTP server is used for license MAC generation. As such, I would:
1) set the primary NTP server to be the real NTP address you want to use. This will not be accessible when you build the server with the old servers' IP.
2) set the secondary NTP server to an accessible NTP server. I do this by setting up NTP on the server you serve the SFTP backup file from. I use Meinberg NTP if this is a Windows box, it's free.
That way you can build the server (primary NTP not accessible, but secondary is so it's fine). Then after the restore, change IP address and it will start using the primary NTP server.
I presume deployment type refers to product and role .e.g. a CUCM Publisher, not a CUC server or CUCMBE publisher.

Migrating Apps 11i to new server

Hi Guys,
I have recently been appointed as the DBA at a site that ran Apps 11i for more than a year, without as much as a patch update. Suddenly they needed clones, and all sorts of things to happen. Instead of taking a 3 month patch by patch process, does someone have a methodology, if I build a new server from scratch, install SuSE Linux 9, then a blank 9i DB, and the new patched application layer on top of that, can I "clone" the current system to a new server, data only - is there a white paper / methodology around I can use?
Tx
Willis

I beleive in your case you can easily make the clone by applying the rapid clone patch on your 11.5.9 instance. Check the metalink note Note:230672.1. Since you are on 11.5.9 and autoconfig enabled there won't be much complication.
we had a similar kind of situation with one our client. Their hard disks crashed and don't have backup of application tier. What they have is database backup.
What we did is :
-Made a fresh installation of apps withe same instance name and paths
-backedup the new database to different path
-Restored the old database of crashed instance from backup and got the llist of all patches applied previously
- Remove the restored database.
-again restored the fresh database backedup
-Applied all the patches
- Restored the old database of crashed instance from backup
- Did all customization and workarounds

MOVE REPLICATION DATABASE TO NEW SERVER

WE HAVE A PRODUCTION DATABASE THAT WORK'S AS REPLICATION FROM 9 DATABASES, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE DATABASE TO NEW SERVER.
AS DATABASE IS PRODUCTION, WE CAN NOT STOP SERVICES. WE THINK TO CREATE A NEW DATABASE ON NEW SERVER, IMPORT DATA FROM PROD. DATABASE. SIZE APROX 100GB.
QUESTION:
I NEED TO KNOW HOW I CAN STOP SERVICES SHORT TIME. TO CHANGE TO SNEW SERVER.
THANKS FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS

Здравствуте Ivan.
Before i would do anything like this i would make sure that i have a good valid backup (just in case!).
I would check all the applications that are currently conencting to your ORacle and make sure they are all conneting 'by name' not the IP. Or and then i would check DNS server (make sure nslookup is working) to makesure that everything resolves correctly after the moving DB to another machine.
Then check that the oracle_home etc are in the same directory and check that all paths etc in the configurations are the same.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

OAS 10gR2 and e-Biz app tier on same server

I seem to have some sort of contention on my application server and I was wondering if anybody might have a suggestion on how to verify my setup or troubleshoot.
I have a Red Hat ES 4 32-bit server that is running an 11.5.10.2 e-Biz application tier. This install was done by our e-Biz dba who has since left the company.
I have since installed OAS 10gR2 for another application with the intent that we would share this server.
This has been done successfully on our Test server with no issues but the app tier is not being shutdown every night like it is in Production.
However I have had a couple of situations where after my e-Biz application was restarted over night it was found to not be working in the morning with this error:
'JSP error: Request URI:/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp'
I tired to stop/start the e-Biz app tier but no go. The fix was to stop my oracle OAS server and stop/start the 11i e-Biz applicaztion tier.
CLARIFICATION:
The port pool assigned on this server is 0 I guess (as it uses 8000) and that url always works (servername:8000), it is the E-Business Home Page that fails and generates that JSP error.
I don't think it is HW related but more of a configuration issue. I know I can check my ports assigned in OAS via $OH/install/portlist but I'm not sure how to check the 'port pool' assigned by e-Biz.
Just wondering what I should verify or double-check configuration wise. The e-Biz app stops/starts every night for backups and has worked in conjunction with the OAS for the past week until today. I likely do not need to shutdown the app tier every night for backups but that would just mask the underlying issue.
We use a different userid for the financials configuration versus the OAS config and each env uses it's own oraInventory and directory structure etc.
I was thinking of using netstat to see what ports are in use before and after restarts and look into the 'net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000' value set in the /etc/sysctl.conf file.
Any other suggestions?
Edited by: user6445925 on Jan 5, 2010 12:03 PM
Added CLARIFICATION section.

My understanding with Financials is when you setup the app tier you pick a port pool (0 corresponds to port pool starting with 8000 etc. and port pool 4 would be 8004 etc.).
So in my case when I launch http://servername:8001 I get the Oracle Rapid Install Portal. So maybe that is port pool 1in my case (I'll research that).
If I pick 'Apps Logon Links' and then E-Business Home Page it takes me to http://servername:8001/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp which normally works.
It only fails sometimes and that seems to be in relation to my OAS install as it was added recently and shutting it down temporarily fixed the problem.
They are both running successfully again now.

Can't auto decommission and move service profile to new server

When blade hardware is fail service profile will move to new server in server pool. but before service profile move to new server ,administrator must approve by click Decommission link in server pool configuration. If i tested by click Decommission in Server Maintennance Menu it work fine but tested by Unmount Blade Server ,Unmount HDD ,Power button don't work service profile don't move to new server.
I need automatic decommission function and how i config it?
When service profile move to new server if blade hardware fail?

Thank you for answer.
I has open TAC and then answer from Cisco support is no auto decommission in UCSM.
I think is Weakness of cisco ucs system.
UCS Develop team can you provide simple script auto decommission for me and another customer ?

Redefinition of locations when move Warehouse Builder to new server

Hi
We have 4 DW/OWB environment, but only one design repository (development)
We have defined 4 configurations with 4 "sets" of locations.
The locatiosn are defined as host:port:servicename, because of bug, when defined as tns.
Now we are moving our DW to a new server and must redefine all locations.
After the movement we have to
1) unregister all locations
2) change all locations
3) register all locations
4) redeploy all mappings, process flows and procedures
This is a huge task, even if it can be automated via a OMBPlus script.
Does any one know about a script (SQL or OMBPlus), that can be used for redefinition of the locations in the design repository and the 4 runtime repositories, so we don't have to perform the above tasks ?
Best Regards
Klaus

Move mailbox database to new server (new domain)

Hey,
I want to move a mailbox database from a broken server to a new server in a new domain.
We are already using the new server and I am wondering if I can merge the databases or make the old mail available in any way. Currently everybody has done a pst export before adding the new mailbox.
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,
Exchange Server 2013 introduces the concept of batch moves and migration endpoints. Migration endpoints are management objects that describe the remote server and the connections that can be associated with one or more batches. And, the new batch move architecture
improves on MRS moves with enhanced management capability. You can select the appropriate method to move your mailboxes.
Here is an article for your reference:

Move MaxDB database to new server

Hello,
I would like to move a MaxDB (Content Server) database from a Windows 2003 x86 server to a Windows 2003 x64 server. I will be moving from 7.5 to 7.6 at the same time. Reading around the subject, this is what I have done so far:
Target Server:
Used SAPINST to install the MaxDB 7.6 / Content Server 6.40 on the new x64 target server.
SAPINST created a empty database on the target server and I added the appropriate number of volumes.
After playing around I used db_active to initialize the target database.
Put the target database in admin mode.
Source Server:
Used backup_start CompleteData RECOVERY DATA to create a backup of the database.
Target Server:
Created a backup medium called Restore and pointed this at the copied backup file.
In db_admin mode executed a recover_start "Restore" DATA
db_online
Re-created the system tables (via wizard or dbmcli)
Questions:
Do I need to apply any log backups here (assuming no activity on source)?
If there were activity on the source and I applied the logs to the target, how do I apply the data that is in the transaction logs but not currently written to the log backup?
There is no backup history on the target server, how does it know how far to go and that the log recovery is complete?
Can the backup history be copied from souce to target?
Thanks,
Philip.

Hello Philip,
SAP Note 1089402 - "Shortening backup history for MaxDB/liveCache instances" is useful in this case:
The backup history of a database instance that is based on MaxDB is stored in the files dbm.knl and dbm.mdf in the run directory (usually, /sapdb/data/wrk/<DBSID>)
You can copy these two files in the new server in order to apply the log backup to the restored database BUT... this is not supported by SAP, because as far as I know there is no SAP Notes where you are asked to do so.
So, the supported procedure is to restore the DB but you shouldn't apply any backup log

Move Owb database to new server

Hi,
We are going to move our Owb (9.2.0.2.8) database to a new server. The nodename isn't going to change only the ip-address will change. The OS will be the same.
The steps will be:
1) install Owb on new server
2) copy database to new server
Is there some other step we'll need to take?
regards,
Ivan

Moving FlexBuilder 4 web app in a new server (hosting provider)

I am trying to install a test web app (very simple) which reads data from Mysql (using PHP) and populate a datagrid. It works in my computer, but when I moved it to the new server no data is populated and no error poped up (I have done the changes in the amf.config.ini and the Zend files are well installed). I had installed successfully another small app (FB4) in the same server, but the problem with this one is that has a superclass for the data service and I don't know how to change the connections parameters (user id, password, database and server) since I don't know where are them. Am I missing any step or is something I have to do in source before the app is compiled. Highly appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hello EZ;
Is the problem that you are having with the new app this ...
the problem with this one is that has a superclass for the data service and I don't know how to change the connections parameters (user id, password, database and server) since I don't know where are them.
If so, these parameters are in your php class (like you had in your other post in CoursesServices.php) not in FlashBuilder.

How do you move apps to a new iPad

Help!! I can't move apps, music and movies to my new iPad. Any ideas??

To access previously purchased apps and content you do need to use the same Apple ID on your new device that you used on the old one.
Content is linked to Apple ID's.
If you want to make your new one a near clone of your old one, when you set it up you have two options, to set up as new or to restore from a backup of your old one. Choose that and the content and most settings will copy over.

Move Mid-Tier onto another server

Hi all
The infrastructure (OracleHime1incl IASDB) and mid-tier (OracleHime2 portal and OracleHime3 discoverer) 10g Rel2 are installed on a windows 2003 server.
I would like to know how to move the mid-tier (Portal and Discoverer) onto another new windows 2003 server thus improving performance. The server is used solely for reporting. Portal uses "portal providers".
Or would it be better to move the infrastructure?
Is there documentation on this?
Thanks

The Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide describes how to move the Infrastructure to a new host. See:
