Multiple Oracle Configuration Question

We have a typical environment setup. I will explain it below:
Our application works in Online and Offline Mode. For Online mode we connect to Oracle 10g enterprise server and a Local instance of Access and In offline application totally works in Access.
Now we want to move away from Access and have Oracle PE instead just because we want to use stored procedure and same set of code for offline and online processing.
So a typical user machine will have a PE instance and a Oracle Client. Currently we use LDAP.ora for Configuring connections. Now i have few questions
1. How do we ensure that Oracle PE will work when we don't have network connection. Can we have like PE setup with Tnsnames.ORA
2. What can be the smallest possible package for PE.
3. Can I use one client to access both PE and Server databases.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Assuming the "Xcopy installation" refers to using the Windows xcopy command, can you clarify what, exactly, you are installing via xcopy? Are you just using xcopy to copy the ODP.Net bits? Or are you trying to install the Oracle client via that approach?
If you are concerned about support, you would generally want to install everything via the Oracle Universal Installer (barring those very occasional components that don't use the OUI). Oracle generally only supports software installed via the installer because particularly on Windows, there are a number of registry entries that need to get created.
You can certainly do a custom install of the personal edition on the end user machines. There are a few required components that I believe have to be installed (that the installer will take care of). I assume your customization will take the form of a response file to the OUI in order to do a silent install?

SRP541W Multiple WAN configuration question

Hi all,
I have an SRP541W with two ADSL modems attached to it. Both are running bridged mode with PPPoE connections to two different ISPs, (TPG and Telstra Business Direct). The TPG connection is far cheaper, and has a much higher download limit. Sadly, if I leave the router in "load Balance" mode for the WAN, it "prefers" the Tesltra connection because it's faster. I want downloads for movies/music, Youtube, Internet Radio, etc, to go through the TPG connection. Is it possible to do this in the router, or would I need to set up a proxy server, (or some other external device/application)?

Thanks Christopher.
I had found that and tried a value of 2, then 3. When it didn't seem to make a huge difference I decided to post the question here. I've reached the download limit for this month so I will try again after the 17th.
What I was hoping for, was the ability to somehow select traffic types to go through specific connections. I used to be able to do that on the Snapgear router I had, but it died, and MacAfee in thier infinite wisdom, decided to kill that product line when they purchased the company.
Not being a router guru, and never having done the course on how to program the Cisco IOS, I chose the SRP router in the hopes it would do what I need without having to sit a course that costs 3 times as much as the router. Sadly it appears my hopes we in vain.

Question: Best practices for dealing with multiple AM configurations

Hello all,
I have a project using ADF Business Components and ADF Faces. I would like to set up multiple configurations for the Application Modules to support the following scenarios:
1). Local testing and debugging - using a connection defined in JDeveloper and AM Pooling turned off.
2). Testing and debugging on an application server - using a JDBC Data Source and AM Pooling turned off
3). Production deployment - using a JDBC Data Source and AM Pooling turned on.
It is no problem to create multiple AM configurations to reflect this scenario. In order for the web part of the application to use the correct configurations, the DataBindings.cpx file must specify the correct ones. I was thinking to have 3 different DataBindings.cpx files and to change the CpxFileName context-param in the web.xml file as needed.
My questions:
1). Does this make sense as an approach? It should be better than having to change a single AM configuration every time I deploy or test. Is there any easy way to keep multiple DataBIndings.cpx files in synch, given that we may add new pages from time-to-time? Alternatively, can we do some type of "include" processing to include just the dataControlUsages section into a common DataBindings.cpx file?
2). How would you manage the build-and-deploy process? For the most part, in JDev we would be using configuration #1. The only time to switch to configuration #2 or #3 would be to build an EAR file for deployment. Is this something that it would make sense to accomplish with ANT? I'm not an ANT expert at all. The ANT script would have "build-test-ear" and "build-prod_ear" targets which would swap in a correct web.xml file, recompile everything, build the EAR, then put the development web.xml file back. I'm relatively sure this is possible... comments?
3). Is there some other recommended approach?
I appreciate any insights from experience, or even just ideas or thoughts that I can test out.
Best regards,
John

Hi K,
Sorry for the long long delay in responding I've been traveling - and thanks for the e-mail tickler too...
To answer your question in short, I do think that ANT is the right way to go; there is an extra ANT task called XMLTask that I was able to download and play with, and it seems it would make this manipulation of the cpx file (or the xcfg file, for that matter) pretty straightforward. I don't have any code to post; it's just in the conceptual stage for me right now. I didn't see anything magical in JDev 11 TP3 that solved this problem for me either.
Having said all of that, it's more complicated than it might appear. In addition to the DataBindings.cpx file (stores, among other things, which AM configuration to use for each data control), it's certainly possible to programmatically access an AM (specifying the configuration either directly in the code or via a properties file/etc). I'm not sure what the most common use case for AM configurations is, but in my case, I have a Test configuration and a Prod configuration. The Test config, among other things, disables AM pooling. When I am developing/testing, I always use the Test config; in Production, I always use the Prod config. Perhaps the best way for me to do this would be to have an "Active" config and use ANT tasks to copy either Test or Prod to "Active." However, our Subversion repository is going to have a few complaints about this.

Multiple Oracle Homes

Hi everybody,
I have Oracle 9i installed on my Windows machine.
I installed Oracle Developer Suite, but could not login due to TNS errors.
I have a little idea of what the problem is. We need to edit TNSNAMES.ORA file so that it could resolve the service name.
Can u please help me out in configuring Developer Suite to work properly?
Thanks.
-- Kishore.

Not quite sure why your title is Multiple Oracle Homes. Can you connect to SQLPLUS or any other product in the suite? Is it just Designer you are having hassles with? Do you have the database on the same machine and can you connect to that? If you are successful at connecting to SQLPLUS, then take a look at the tnsnames file in the Database network /admin directories.
There was a bug at one point where the tnsnames would fail if the network connect string was between 184 and 192 characters in length. You may be running into this. In which case if your tnsnames.ora contains
(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = <SID>), you can change this to use (CONNECT_DATA =(SERVICE_NAME= <SID>)

Multiple OracleAS installs

We are creating a shared services environment where we plan to install multiple OracleAS. We don't want the different organizations to have to access URLs containing ports.
Is there a way to make this work?
For example:
Install 1 Listens on port 7777, 443 and we added 80. The url for this OracleAS is https://xyz.org
Install 2 Listens on port 7778, 4443. We want url for this OracleAS to be https://abc.org

Good point, I overlooked the point that you wanted to install both of these on the same machine.
Yes you are right that the default ports that browsers don't require to be specified are 443 and 80. As you said those are used by other install so yes you will not be able to bypass it just with OHS.
I guess in this situation you will either have to have either a software/hardware load balancer or a proxy server to front end these two OHSs. And there you define a rule to redirect to respective OHS based on requested URL.
You can have another (third) installation of OHS and configure it as the proxy for other OHSs. You can configure this third OHS to run on port 443 and 80 and other two OHSs on different ports.
You can also use Oracle Web Cache product (which can act as a reverse proxy/software load balancer). There you can create two sites (of desired external facing URLs with proper DNS settings so those URLs are resolvable) and define a site-to-server mapping for each site pointing to respective origin server (OHS).
Hope this will help.
Thanks

Oracle Configuration Manager Server is unavailable (500)

I have a few targets that report configuration to My Oracle Support using Oracle Configuration Manager. Everything was fine until last week, when I noticed that the Last Collection Date wasn't changing. When I try to manually collect, I get the following error:
E:\>ora11\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\ccr\bin\emccr collect
Oracle Configuration Manager - Release: 10.3.8.1.1 - Production

Unable to determine if mandatory packages available.
Error encountered in retrieving update. Oracle Configuration Manager Server is u
navailable (500).
Collection and upload failed.
E:\>
Anybody else experiencing this same problem? If so, any ideas how to fix it?

Turns out this is expected, as Oracle is rolling out a database upgrade. This notice is posted on MOS:
Configuration Data in Read-Only Mode
We are making improvements to the database that holds configuration data for My Oracle Support. During this upgrade, the Customer Configuration Repository (CCR) is currently in read-only mode. You can view configuration data, but will not be able to upload new configurations or change configuration-related systems attributes. The CCR will remain in read-only mode until the planned My Oracle Support outage completes this weekend.
While CCR is in read-only mode, you will see an error message:
   In the related log file during an automatic attempt to upload a new configuration or for offline Collector users who upload their configuration as a Service Request attachment.
   On pages within My Oracle Support that access the configuration data
   Primarily under the Systems tab
   Sometimes within Patch recommendations and Health Checks
When the CCR returns to update-mode after the outage, your last successful upload will remain in place as the benchmark for determining differences with the current configuration. The next collection you send will update your configuration and then becomes the configuration used for comparisons.
Please file a non-technical Service Request or contact Oracle Support if you need help or have additional questions.

Single or separate users owning multiple Oracle Resource Groups?

Being an infrastructure DBA, I have a question which I'm trying to sort out with my sys admin:
- We're trying to setup multiple Oracle 11g (non-RAC) instances on a two-node Solaris 10 cluster.
- each 'database' would have its own resource group, filesystem, binaries, and listener
- In order to fully separate the two instances, the SA actually gave us two different oracle accounts to control each resource group.
ie. a different oracle user (ie. oracle1, oracle2, oracle3) owns each resource group (/rg1, /rg2, /rg3)
- to patch/startup/shutdown each instance, we have to login as a separate user
- no user can run/touch the other's files (they're in completely different groups (dba/oinstall, dba2/oinstal2, dba3/oinstal3)
- to run patch/installing, we use a separate inventorypointer flag which points to that particular db's oraInventory (ie. ./runInstaller -invPtrLoc /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc.<resource_group_name>)
I asked why couldn't one user own all resource groups, and was told:
...Oracle uses the shared memory, semaphores and queues to exchange information. Each IPC object has an identifier and access information, similar to files (owner, ,group, mode). If you use the single oracle account in different RGs, you or system might accidentally destroy the IPC object which belongs to other Resource Group.
Is this true? I could have sworn I've seen other solaris setups (albeit with Veritas Resource Groups) setups which have multiple resource groups owned/managed by a single oracle user, but I don't know enough about semaphores and shared memory to truly understand his argument.
The way I was hoping to work would be:
- a single oracle user owning several resource groups
- each resource group mapping to a filesystem tree, ie:
     /home
          /oracle
     /rg1
          /opt
               /oracle
     /rg2
          /opt
               /oracle
     /rg3
          /opt
               /oracle- shared /var/opt/oracle/oratab
- to switch between instances, the oracle user simply does the same '. oraenv' command as regular.
I understand it can be done, just that I need something to counter my SA's argument that there would be potential IPC/shared memory/semaphore collisions.

I've marked the question as answered, to a degree: I can agree that there are successful implementations out there with one person running multiple solaris zones, I just couldn't explain it to the SA in an articulate manner. I've gone to Oracle Metalink with a service request and will post references to the notes that the support person gave me on the subject. It's good for research in this area:
Note 15654.1 TECH: Calculating Oracle's SEMAPHORE Requirements
Note 70688.1 Location and Display of kernel parameters - Solaris
Note 33244.1 SOLARIS: Shared Memory and Semaphore Kernel Parameters on Solaris (SPARC) Servers
Note 153961.1 Semaphores and Shared Memory - An Overview
We've ruled out local zones at the time, for other implementation reasons. What I think we're looking at is the trade-off between Sysadmin's management complexity (separate zones) and DB Admin's management complexity (separate users).

Is Oracle Configuration Manager Available for Hyperion Planning Servers?

The "My Oracle Support" site (https://support.oracle.com) describes the values of installing the Oracle Configuration Manager on servers.
Question: is this available for the Hyperion products or just Oracle databases? If available for Hyperion products, does it add value to tech support?
Any comments would be appreciated.

John
This is partially correct. If you user12136418 are looking for a way to monitor health automatically and get access to web ex session technical support from one console OCM is a great tool. The fact that it is not a thick client in nature nor a windows service makes it ideal for having agents monitor network traffic SNMP and still have all hyperion health monitored without having to run a tool like SCOM. I have been waiting for this tool for a year . Now if only Hyperion would work with IE8. But we all can not have egg in our beer.

Oracle Configurator Version

DB Server:
Oracle Linux 5.5
10.2.0.4.0 DB Version
Application Server:
Redhat EL 5.5
EBS 12.0.6
How does one figure out the version of "oracle configurator"? In a recent SR I was asked this question by Oracle support. Their method for me to find out was to run the following:
http://<hostname>:<portnum>/configurator/oracle.apps.cz.servlet.UiServlet?test=version
The above never worked. Next I was instructed to run the following:
set serveroutput on;
declare
pieces utl_http.html_pieces;
l_sql_code number;
l_sql_errm varchar2(2000);
begin
utl_http.set_detailed_excp_support (enable => true);
pieces := utl_http.request_pieces('http://myappsserver.mydomain.com:8000/configurator/oracle.apps.cz.servlet.UiServlet?test=version');
for i in 1 .. pieces.count loop
dbms_output.put_line(pieces(i));
end loop;
exception
when others then
l_sql_code := utl_http.get_detailed_sqlcode;
l_sql_errm := utl_http.get_detailed_sqlerrm;
dbms_output.put_line('detail err code: '|| l_sql_code);
dbms_output.put_line('detail err message: '|| l_sql_errm);
end;
The above never worked either, and Oracle support seemed to just give up on wanting to know the version. I am now being asked the version again by a developer. What is correct way to get version information?
Edited by: ovlz on Feb 15, 2011 7:11 AM

Thanks. I did the following which I found in the installaton guide:
http://myserver.mydomain.com:8000/OA_HTML/configurator/UiServlet?test=version
It came back with:
Using configuration software build: 12.0.0.27.11
I found the information I needed in:
Oracle Configurator Installation Guide B28680-05

Regarding Multiple Oracle Homes

Hello,
Does all of the Oracle products support multiple homes ?
Can oracle 8i and oracle 8 products be kept in same oracle home ?
thanks
null

Hi Raj,
To answer your first question, No, not all of Oracle products
support multiple homes. All Oracle7 products and all release
8.0.3 are non-multiple Oracle home products. Oracle 8i lite
cannot support multiple oracle homes either.
In regards to your second question, no Oracle8i and and Oracle
8.0 products cannot be kept in the same Oracle home. Releases
prior to 8.1.3 cannot be installed in an Oracle home that was
created by a release of 8.1.3, 8.1.4 or 8.1.5.
Hope that helps,
Thanks & Regards,

Oracle XE (Windows) Multiple Oracle Homes

I have a question in regards to Oracle Express Edition and how it maintains Oracle Home.
I currently have multiple Oracle Homes on my machine. In order for apps like SQL Developer or PLSQL Developer to see the correct TNSNAMES entries, I usually have to use the Home Selector from the Installation tools to properly obtain the correct tnsnames entries in the dropdowns.
Now, I'm a Linux DBA, not to keen on Oracle environments for Windows. But, when I installed Oracle Express Edition, none of my Applications SQL Developer or PLSQL Developer recognize the tnsnames entries for my environment. From the 9i Home Selector I see that it is in the correct environment I want it to use. But it seems Express has overriden somehow.
Can anyone lead me into the right direction to switch between my XE Environment to my 9i environments?
Thanks.
Lee

I did it too, but the beta over beta software is just too dangerous.. you never know what is crashing your system :)

SAP-JEE, SAP_BUILDT, and SAP_JTECHS and Dev Configuration questions

Hi experts,
I am configuring NWDI for our environment and have a few questions that I'm trying to get my arms around.
I've read we need to check-in SAP-JEE, SAP_BUILDT, and SAP_JTECHS as required components, but I'm confused on the whole check-in vs. import thing.
I placed the 3 files in the correct OS directory and checked them in via the check-in tab on CMS.   Next, the files show up in the import queue for the DEV tab. My questions are what do I do next?
1. Do I import them into DEV? If so, what is this actually doing? Is it importing into the actual runtime system (i.e. DEV checkbox and parameters as defined in the landscape configurator for this track)? Or is just importing the file into the DEV buildspace of NWDI system?
2. Same question goes for the Consolidation tab.    Do I import them in here as well?
3. Do I need to import them into the QA and Prod systems too? Or do I remove them from the queue?
Development Configuration questions ***
4. When I download the development configuration, I can select DEV or CON workspace. What is the difference? Does DEV point to the sandbox (or central development) runtime system and CONS points to the configuration runtime system as defined in the landscape configurator? Or is this the DEV an CON workspace/buildspace of the NWDI sytem.
5. Does the selection here dictate the starting point for the development? What is an example scenarios when I would choose DEV vs. CON?
6. I have heard about the concept of a maintenance track and a development track. What is the difference and how do they differ from a setup perspective?   When would a Developer pick one over the over?
Thanks for any advice
-Dave

Hi David,
"Check-In" makes SCA known to CMS, "import" will import the content of the SCAs into CBS/DTR.
1. Yes. For these three SCAs specifically (they only contain buildarchives, no sources, no deployarchives) the build archives are imported into the dev buildspace on CBS. If the SCAs contain deployarchives and you have a runtime system configured for the dev system then those deployarchives should get deployed onto the runtime system.
2. Have you seen /people/marion.schlotte/blog/2006/03/30/best-practices-for-nwdi-track-design-for-ongoing-development ? Sooner or later you will want to.
3. Should be answered indirectly.
4. Dev/Cons correspond to the Dev/Consolidation system in CMS. For each developed SC you have 2 systems with 2 workspaces in DTR for each (inactive/active)
5. You should use dev. I would only use cons for corrections if they can't be done in dev and transported. Note that you will get conflicts in DTR if you do parallel changes in dev and cons.
6. See link in No.2 ?
Regards,
Marc

How to configure Oracle Configuration Manager in R12.0.4

Dear
I need to configure oracle configuration manager for my running R12.0.4 instance on single node setup.Whenever i try update my metalink credentials in oracle application manager dashboard,it says userid or password is wrong. While installation i skip the OCM screen. How can i configure it now either using Universal installer or comand line? Need all steps for setup?
Do i need to download & install OCM client or is it already shipped with software & needs just configuration setup?
Help me!
Regards

Ateeq,
Running AutoConfig should populate profile options with the correct values. However, you can check the values after running AutoConfig to verify it.
According to metalink document id, this Applications Server-Side Proxy Host And Domain profile needs to changed. Document id, will mention later.I forgot.Below are the notes:
Note: 297689.1 - Unable to update MetaLink credentials from OAM
