Moving a 4.2 CDB to a 5.0 PDB

Hello All,
I have a 12c installation with a container that has a couple of production applications on 4.2.
Is it possible to move this container to a fresh 12c with apex 5 install?
Once moved over, how do I go about upgrading the containers apex version.
Thanks in advanced,
John T.

Hi John,
I will assume that your 12c installation is a default installation where APEX 4.2 is in the root. If that is the case you have two options.
Unplug the APEX 4.2 PDB from the original container, and plug it into the new container where you have already upgraded it to APEX 5.0. You would then follow section 3.3.5.2.2 of the same documentation that Kiran referenced to upgrade the PDB to APEX 5.0.
Keep your target CDB the same APEX 4.2 version as the PDB you want to move. Then simply move the PDB and then upgrade the target CDB to APEX 5.0, which will include upgrading the PDB you moved.
In either case, you will need to apply database patch 20618595 prior to upgrading to APEX 5.0 in a 12c CDB. See the following blog post for more information. Application Express Nuggets: Upgrading to Application Express 5.0 in Your Oracle Database Release 12.1 Multitenant Conta…
Of the two options, I would proceed with option 2 if it were me.
Regards,
Jason

Oracle 12c - rman backup for all PDB

Do we have any ready commands that will take backup for all the attached PDB in oracle 12c (container managed db)?

To backup your entire container DB, connect to your CDB & issue a full backup:
rman> backup database;
Backing up your pdb, either connect to the target itself & issue a backup or
rman> backup pluggable database porcl1;
Backing up only the root, connect to the target &
rman> backup database root;

If you don't know what a CON_ID is or what CDB_USERS contains then you need to start by following that infamous advice: RTFM!
Seriously, many developers will NOT be successful and will have MANY issues similar to yours if they do not firt read the docs and learn about the new multitenant architecture that 12c introduces.
IMHO it is simply a MUST that people learn the basics of the new architecture of 12c or they will have problems/issues doing even simple things like: connecting to the proper database, starting up PDBs, creating users (common vs. local) and using the large set of new CDB_* views.
See my replies in these two threads for a larger discussion and more links to the doc sections to review:
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2554568
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2559874
In that second link I show you the queries you can execute to determine what containers you have and what service names map to those containers.
I also show why you need to answer a whole slew of questions and provide much more information to the forum when you ask questions re 12c:
1. Did you create:
A. A non-CDB PDB named ORCL
B. A CDB named ORCL with no PDBs
C. A CDB named ORCL with a PDB that you think is named ORCL but is really named PDBORCL
2. Is your CDB up and running?
3. Have your PDBs been opened?
4. Are you are trying to connect to CDB or PDB?
If you do a basic install and create a sample database (that would include the SCOTT schema) you will get:
1. A CDB named ORCL - this is the CDB$ROOT and will NOT have SCOTT since it is NOT the sample database
2. PDB$SEED - the 'seed' DB that will be used as a template when you create new PDBs
3. PDBORCL - this is the sample DB and has the SCOTT schema
So you are likely connecting to ORCL (the CDB) and that doesn't have a SCOTT schema as your exception indicates. You need to connect to PDBORCL and you can only do that after you open it.
One way to open your PDBs is to issue:
>
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE ALL OPEN;
>
after you connect as SYS to the CDB. Then you need to open a connection to service name PDBORCL.
Please read the referenced threads above and the doc section on the multi-tenant architecture.
RTFM is going to be a very common response to anyone posting 12c questions if their question shows, as yours does, that the poster likely hasn't read the basic sections. There is simply too much new architecture to try to explain it in the forums.

You can connect as SYSDBA to make it work but based on what you posted you haven't granted SYSDBA to user C##SYS.
If you run your query now as user c##sys:
>
select con_id, name, open_mode from v$pdbs;
>
you should find that it returns no rows. That is also why your CREATE statement fails. Grant SYSDBA to the user and then run that query and you should now see the same PDBs you saw when you connected as SYS.
Also, be careful when you make grants. By default the grant ONLY applies to the current container.
So your 'grant connect to c##sys' only allows that user to connect to the ROOT. The 12C GRANT statement uses a CONTAINER clause whose default is CURRENT. If you want c##sys to be be able to connect to the new PDB either use CONTAINER=ALL or switch to the new PDB and, as SYS, do the grant again for that specific PDB.
You don't need to grant the DBA role to make this work by the way.
May as well mention also that if you use a tool like Toad that isn't 12c aware you are going to see a mess when you look at things like grants since there may appear to be multiple grants of exactly the same type. For instance your CONNECT grant could appear 5 times if the user has the grant for 5 different containers. An older tool won't show you which container the grants are for since they won't be 'container aware'.
See CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE in the SQL Reference doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17209/statements_6009.htm
That doc lists the prerequisites
>
Prerequisites
You must be connected to a CDB and the current container must be the root.
You must have the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE system privilege.
The CDB in which the PDB is being created must be in READ WRITE mode.
To specify the create_pdb_clone clause:
If src_pdb_name refers to a PDB in the same CDB, then you must have the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE system privilege in the root of the CDB in which the new PDB will be created and in the PDB being cloned.
If src_pdb_name refers to a PDB in a remote database, then you must have the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE system privilege in the root of the CDB in which the new PDB will be created and the remote user must have the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE system privilege in the PDB to which src_pdb_name refers.
>
Did you notice that part about having CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE in 'the PDB being cloned'? You haven't done that.
The doc also has an example of cloning:
>
Cloning a PDB From an Existing PDB: Example The following statement creates a PDB newpdb by cloning PDB salespdb. PDBs salespdb and newpdb are in the same CDB. Because no storage limits are explicitly specified, there is no limit on the amount of storage for newpdb. The files are copied from /disk1/oracle/salespdb/ to /disk2/oracle/newpdb/. The location of all directory object paths and paths contained in certain parameters associated with newpdb are restricted to the directory /disk2/oracle/newpdb/.
CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE newpdb FROM salespdb FILE_NAME_CONVERT = ('/disk1/oracle/dbs/salespdb/', '/disk1/oracle/dbs/newpdb/') PATH_PREFIX = '/disk1/oracle/dbs/newpdb';
>
Note in particular the use of the FILE_NAME_CONVERT clause to tell Oracle how to name and where to put the new files.
The common reasons for your use case
1. the CDB is not open in READ WRITE
2. the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE role was not created in the PDB being cloned or that role is not a DEFAULT role for your user.
3. the PDB you are cloning has not been opened READ ONLY
4. the user is not connected as SYSDBA (only needed if the grants are not done individually and manually)
NOTES: you opened the source DB in READ ONLY mode BEFORE you created the common user c##sys and granted the privileges. That prevented Oracle from creating that user in the source DB. When you create a common user Oracle will also create that user automatically in any PDB that is already opened READ WRITE.
The same goes for the grants when you use CONTAINER = ALL; that only creates the grants if the PDB is writeable. You need to be VERY CAREFUL when you create common users and issue grants to them to make sure you know which containers (PDBs) are open or you may have similar issues in the future. The only way you can correct those problems later is to connect to reissue the grants from the ROOT after the previously closed PDBs are open or to connect to the PDB and manually create the user and grants.
Also your c##sys user won't be able to drop that PDB because you didn't grant that privilege. And if you do drop the PDB and use INCLUDING DATAFILES the directory itself won't be deleted.
You can get a mess on your hands real quick if you don't create an architecture document ahead of time that identifies what the structure should be for the different containers.
And just a reminder - we can't tell you HOW things are supposed to work in 12c. At best we can try to tell you how they DO work. So I have NO IDEA if Oracle intended PDB creation to require being connected as SYSDBA rather than just having the DBA role but that is how it works for me if you don't grant CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE in the PDB being cloned.

Data of column datatype CLOB is moved to other columns of the same table

Hi all,
I have an issue with the tables having a CLOB datatype field.
When executing a simple query on a table with a column of type CLOB it returns error [POL-2403] value too large for column.
SQL> desc od_stock_nbcst_notes;
Name Null? Type
OD_STOCKID N NUMBER
NBC_SERVICETYPE N VARCHAR(40)
LANGUAGECODE N VARCHAR(8)
AU_USERIDINS Y NUMBER
INSERTDATE Y DATE
AU_USERIDUPD Y NUMBER
MODIFYDATE Y DATE
VERSION Y SMALLINT(4)
DBUSERINS Y VARCHAR(120)
DBUSERUPD Y VARCHAR(120)
TEXT Y CLOB(2000000000)
NBC_PROVIDERCODE N VARCHAR(40)
SQL> select * from od_stock_nbcst_notes;
[POL-2403] value too large for column
Checking deeply, some of the rows have got the data of the CLOB column moved in another column of the table.
When doing select length(nbc_providercode) the length is bigger than the datatype of the field (varchar(40)).
When doing substr(nbc_providercode,1,40) to see the content of the field, a portion of the Clob data is retrieved.
SQL> select max(length(nbc_providercode)) from od_stock_nbcst_notes;
MAX(LENGTH(NBC_PROVIDERCODE))
162
Choosing one random record, this is the stored information.
SQL> select length(nbc_providerCode), text from od_stock_nbcst_notes where length(nbc_providerCode)=52;
LENGTH(NBC_PROVIDERCODE) | TEXT
-------------------------+-----------
52 | poucos me
SQL> select nbc_providerCode from od_stock_nbcst_notes where length(nbc_providerCode)=52;
[POL-2403] value too large for column
SQL> select substr(nbc_providercode,1,40) from od_stock_nbcst_notes where length(nbc_providercode)=52 ;
SUBSTR(NBC_PROVIDERCODE
Aproveite e deixe o seu carro no parque
The content of the field is part of the content of the field text (datatype CLOB, containts an XML)!!!
The right content of the field must be 'MTS' (retrieved from Central DB).
The CLOB is being inserted into the Central DB, not into the Client ODB. Data is synchronized from CDB to ODB and the data is reaching the client in a wrong way.
The issue can be recreated all the time in the same DB, but between different users the "corrupted" records are different.
Any idea?

Uploaded blobs are not moving to RBS storage even RBS is enabled for this content db

Hi
In a production environment RBS is configured for SharePoint content dbs ,
and sql server has failover clusters and alwayson
Now each content db size is very huge : mdf file : 617 GB and .ndf file292 GB
and RBS Storage is : 4,742,795 Files, 117 Folders and size is 1.35 TB (1,494,447,389,036 bytes)
and web application content organizer is enabled and
daily many users upload documents to this web application
here my issue is when user upload documents these docs are saving in content db, but no count of files increased in RBS
storage
when I run below two queries
Selectcount(*)fromAllDocstreamswhereRBSIDIS

when I run this query the count of files are increasing every time
count of files now is149 239 and its keep increasing when I run query bcz users are uploading docs.

yes its working for me If I run following commands

I don't know what happen , why blobs not going to rbs storage ,
before two months ago I work with other company they installed migration jobs for migrate blobs to nas storage, but they targeted to one content database only

SQL patch mismatch: Installed in the PDB but not in the CDB - how to correct?

I have a 12.1.0.1 database in which I wanted to migrate a number of PDBs to AL32UTF character set. To do this I created a second (temporary) database with the correct characterset, unplugged and re-plugged each PDB and ran the DMA U to migrate the PDBs - all went well.
I then dropped the first database and built another again with the correct characterset.
When I unplug and replug the PDBs from the temporary to the new database I get the following PDB violation:
PDB_ACPT_CLONE SQL patch 19648840 mismatch: Installed in the PDB but not in the CDB.
This patch had been applied to the original database and then rolled back before the temporary and new databases were created.

Sorry for late reply.
Your next step is, create a new web application and deattach the content DB from new web application. You need to attach existing CDB to that web app.

Strange behaviour with JDev 10.1.3.1 thru 10.1.3.3 creating JSP using CDB

Greetings,
I am experiencing a strange problem developing some simple JSPs using the Content DB libraries. It happens on JDev 10.1.3.1, 10.1.3.2, and 10.1.3.3.
I don't know if its my environment or something else. If your in for a mystery then this one is for you.
All JSPs, Backing Beans, and supporting class all compile without a problem.
JSPs run and data is displayed as expected. All seems fine.
Problem:
When I go back to the JSP and click on it to open (for work), JDev just hangs up. Have to go into Task Manager to Kill process.
Work Around:
Back in JDev before I click to open JSP, I clean out the compiled classes. Then click on JSP and it pops right up?!?!
Has something to do with Content DB libs?
I go back to the backing bean and Comment out all calls to any CDB APIs within the methods. The overall structure of the backing bean is intact but it renders the JSP useless of course. But the after I compile (without errors) the NO CDB API version, I click on the JSP; it opens right up in JDev.
Ok, what I did not tell you yet. The missing key to this mystery.
I'm working on my local desktop. There is no local instance of OCDB on my desktop. Only Jdev and the OCDB development kit. The Actual instance of the content DB is elsewhere. The code reads a property file to get the URL and S2S logon information from a property file (local on my desktop) to connect and do its thing. NOW, AS LONG AS I AM VPN into the network (where several OCDB instances can be accessed), I can go into JDev and open the JSP REGARDLESS of whether I've compiled the code or not.
When I'm running the VPN, I see the in and out byte count moving up and up, then within a few seconds, the JSP pops right up.
How strange is this?!
Question: When using the OCDB libraries with JDev, is it going out to look for some license? It seems that JDev knows my code is calling some OCDB APIs then goes out and does something before it allows me to continue. Without the VPN connection its looks like its sits there waiting for something. My colleagues don't have this problem. But of course they are inside of the firewall, I'm outside.
I've worked on a lot of JSPs before (without OCDB) and I've never seen anything like this before. Here is a list of the libraries that I'm using.
Using version 10.2 of the CDB Libraries.
Importing these jars to my project in JDev.
1. cdb-devkit-client.jar
2. content-ws-client.jar
3. axis.jar
4. commons-codec-1.3.jar
5. commons-discovery-0.2.jar
6. commons-httpclient-3.1-rc1.jar
7. commons-logging-1.0.3.jar
8. jaxrpc.jar
9. saaj.jar
10. wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar
Any suggestions would help. Since I've found a work around. I'm up and moving, but I would REALLY like to know what's up with this.
THANKS
Winston

Hi folks,
I have some more news on this issue.
As noted in my first post, I noticed that the VPN monitor was moving very aggressively when the VPN connection was established. Activating JSP in design mode while classes were compiled and my VPN connected always seemed to do the trick.
So, Why does it work when VPN is connected? What’s JDev doing?
To answer these questions I loaded up an IP packet sniffer to find out exactly what JDev. was up to. Here are the results, but first a recap of the steps.
Let’s say you have a model view project (using Content DB) that has already been compiled and you know it works.
You are working remotely and need to connect via VPN.
You have no local instances of the Content DB running.
You VPN in and run the JSP from JDev. to verify that all is in working order.
Ok get out of the app and close down all its windows.
In JDev, close out all files in the developer.
Disconnect the VPN.
Then in JDev open the JSP. If it comes up in source mode switch it to design mode (Click on the "Design" tab).
JDEV hangs up.
Ok now Go into Task Manager and kill the process.
Then find the class folder where the compiled code sits and delete them all.
Start up JDev and go into your project and open the JSP file.
If it comes up in source mode, switch to design mode. Either way this will work.
Now close the JSP file.
Recompile the code.
NOW START UP the IP Packet Sniffer on your local machine. (VPN IS NOT CONNECTED)
Open the JSP file. If it comes up in source mode, switch to design mode.
Now go back and look at the IP packets.
BEHOLD! IT IS TRYING TO CONNECT TO THE SERVER USING THE CORRECT URL FOR MY INSTANCE OF THE OCDB.
Note: There are no URLs encoded in the code. It gets the URL by reading it from a properties file.
The URL to the server is only specified in the property file.
By the way, JDev is now hung up because you’re not VPN in.
Go into the task manager and kill the process, delete the compiled class files, and restart JDev.
Now go and find the property file on your local drive, and rename it.
Go back to JDev. and recompile the code.
Bring up the JSP in design mode.
Look at the output of the IP packets.
THERE ARE NONE! This also shows that its not some kind of cache problem, else it would try to connect.
JDev is active and the JSP is displayed in design mode.
So, either by deleting the compiled classes or removing the properties file CLEARS the problem.
It appears that I’m hanging up because JDev is partially executing the code when you switch into design mode?!?
If the code is complete it tries to go all the way. Since I'm not VPN in I never get a response from the server, thus it hangs forever.
If the code is incomplete, it never tries to connect.
Now if I try this WITH my VPN connected, I see the packets going to the server, and the JSP is eventually displayed.
Also noted that when the property file was renamed and/or the executable classes were deleted, The JSP always pops up (almost immediately). When VPN is connected and classes are compiled and the property file is accessible, it is a lot slower. More Support that JDev is doing something with the server.
So why is this thing running my code when I switch design modes?
I’ve also found this thread on the JDev Fourm.
JSP Design not working when ICEFaces extension is integrated JSP Design not working when ICEFaces extension is integrated
A Known problem with JSP when third party libraries are added?!?!
Content DB considered a 3rd party library?
So, I must conclude that this is not an OCDB issue, but a JDev Issue.
Aslo check out JDeveloper "Design" Perspective
Hope this helps some one out. This was a barn burner.
Thanks

I moved iTunes music to my hard drive "D" and now it won't open!

My hard drive "C" was getting somewhat full, so I decided to move my iTunes music files over to my second hard drive "D" (I have a dual hard drive on my computer). When I try and open iTunes, it says, "The folder 'iTunes' cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the 'Music' folder."
I cannot open the "Music" folder, because when I do, it just opens up the same window I was already in when I tried to open it. The main reason I want to open iTunes is so I can reset my iPod because it is not working anymore. The scroll wheel, the hold button, the backlight, and it automatically sleep mode (after not touching it for a couple of minutes) is all that works. I cannot click anything.
I have moved all of my iTunes folders back over to my "C" drive, but it still won't work. I also reinstalled iTunes in the "Music" folder, and it won't work. Basically nothing has worked!

You might find this article useful, don't be put off by the title, the process is substantially similar moving to another internal drive: iLounge - Managing your iTunes Library on an External Hard Drive

Hi Judy,
Problem solved.
Go into Mail/Acounts and delete you iCloud account.
Now add a new account and type in your details for MobileMe/iCloud.
It should now work. O noticed the default server name is different.
Hope this helps.
Yours,
Charlie

Have found multiple iTunes Library.xml files. Moved Library to new Hard Drive and it needs to be completely rebuilt?

Hello. I have a Mac Mini operating Mac OS X 10.7.2. I recently had to move my iTunes Library to a new hard drive. I followed the directions on how to move the library and refind everything yet when I do so what comes up is a mere skeleton of what I had. I have had to hunt down my purchased Apps, Music and Movies and re-add them to the library. I also noticed in doing this I have multiple iTunes Library.xml files ... shouldn't there only be one? If so how do I clean this up without doing any accidental damage (i.e. how do I find the one that is being used and delete the rest?)? If I delete the others is there any risk of losing purchased content? Lastly syncing my iPads has become a nightmare as I get the "This iPad is currently synced to another iTunes library" message. Obviously something

It's hard for me to picture the exact situation. It sounds like you still have your library file on the internal but some files on the external, and maybe some on the internal, some of which are in the library and others not... By re-adding things after consolidating it may have made things into a hodge-podge. Yes, that article you referenced says: "iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder"with Media Folder being the emphasis. You probably should have just moved your whole iTunes folder. Still, moving the media folder as instructed should not have messed up the library. Did you make the mistake of starting up iTunes before the external drive had mounted fully and it then told you it couldn't find many files? How you proceed to sort it out will depend upon how much time you want to spend and how important things such as ratings and playcount are to you. I have not actually used the consolidate feature across different drives myself (and don't feel inclined to do so here to test ).
If you are in the USA you can download some previous purhcases with iCloud, but not all.
Here's a bit on what an iTunes folder should look like:

Library files with graphic and explanation of different iTunes versions - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13169517
Once you get iTunes working off the external drive it should just put new media to the external when you add it.
I have almost no experience with synching (I synched my neice's iPod, once, about 4 years ago).

Please help me open an iMovie trailer, moved to my iPad from my PC. I can view it on my iPad but am unable to import it into the app to edit it.

I created a trailer on an iPad at a workshop to use in my classroom. I retrieved it from my PC and can view it on my iPad mini, but the iMovie app won't open it. I need to edit it. Desperately need help. I want to show it to my students tomorrow. Thanks! I've checked other threads here but can't find a solution.

Hi Leica 42,
I never said that a PP file moved to your ipad cannot be straight edited in keynote. Nor did I say that you needed a third party solution...
My response was to offer an option (Jump) because like many others, you're having problems.
Check out the app store and user Keynote reviews. There are more (by 1) 1 star ratings than 5 star ratings for the current version. There are 72 ratings of 3 or more stars while there are 78 ratings of one or two stars. In terms of statistical significance, the numbers are pretty equal, but I prefer to deal with an app that shows more top stars and fewer bottom stars. Some posters have been on here with your same question, so I'm thinking maybe, just perhaps, Keynote is not perfect.
Pro tech reviews vary, many given at the time it was released. Many do not point out that they actually used Keynote before the review. Google Keynote for more pro tech reviews where reviewers have actually used the app.

SSRS 2008 Column Chart with Calculated Series (moving average) "formula error - there are not enough data points for the period" error

I have a simple column chart grouping on 1 value on the category axis. For simplicity's sake, we are plotting $ amounts grouping by Month on the category axis. I right click on the data series and choose "Add calculated series...". I choose moving average. I want to move the average over at least 2 periods.
When I run the report, I get the error "Formula error - there are not enough data points for the period". The way the report is, I never have a guaranteed number of categories (there could be one or there could be 5). When there is 2 or more, the chart renders fine, however, when there is only 1 value, instead of suppressing the moving average line, I get that error and the chart shows nothing.
I don't think this is entirely acceptable for our end users. At a minimum, I would think the moving average line would be suppressed instead of hiding the entire chart. Does anyone know of any workarounds or do I have to enter another ms. connect bug/design consideration.
Thank you,
Dan

I was having the same error while trying to plot a moving average across 7 days. The work around I found was rather simple.
If you right click your report in the solution explorer and select "View Code" it will give you the underlying XML of the report. Find the entry for the value of your calculated series and enter a formula to dynamically create your periods.
<ChartFormulaParameter Name="Period">
<Value>=IIf(Count(Fields!Calls.Value) >= 7 ,7, (Count(Fields!Calls.Value)))</Value>
</ChartFormulaParameter>
What I'm doing here is getting the row count of records returned in the chart. If the returned rows are greater than or equal to 7 (The amount of days I want the average) it will set the points to 7. If not, it will set the number to the amount of returned rows. So far this has worked great. I'm probably going to add more code to handle no records returned although in my case that shouldn't happen but, you never know.
A side note:
If you open the calculated series properties in the designer, you will notice the number of periods is set to "0". If you change this it will overwrite your custom formula in the XML.

Error Message - Moving a Folder

Please help! I just tried to move a folder from my portable hard drive to my MacBook Pro desktop. Therefore, I used the following key combination: "Command + C" and "Option + Command + V". For some reason an error message appears, and I am not able to continue the moving process. I attached the error message as a photo to this question. The Trash actually seems to be completely empty. Nothing seems to be in the trash, and I am not able to remove the error message. When I click "OK" nothing happens. Additional I still can not move the actual file to my MacBook Pro desktop.
Please let me know what to do. Thank you very much for your help.

You can try and find the locked items and unlock them.
Get info (CMD+i), under "General", there's a "locked" checkbox.
Copy and paste is an odd way to move files, but if it works. I'd still rather drag and drop. But maybe that's showing my age (that was not an option until recently).
