Multiple ORACLE_HOME issue

Hi all,
I have a RAC (Oracle 10g) environment on AIX machines.
I have 6 databases located in one "/opt/oracle/rdbms10g" and just one located in "/opt/oracle/rdbms10r1".
First thing I do is to start those 6 databases (which are starting without any problems) and then I'm changing the ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME to point to the last database in order to start it up and here starts the problem:
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

Any advice?

One inventory for multiple ORACLE_HOMEs ?

RDBMS version:11.2, 10.2
Platform : AIX
In one server , we are going to install multiple ORACLE_HOMEs (both 10.2 and 11.2). I have been asked to configure separate inventory for each ORACLE_HOME (each inventory within its own ORACLE_HOME). But i came across OTN posts which advices one inventory for all ORACLE_HOMEs .
1. How can i create 1 inventory for all ORACLE_HOMEs . Is it by specifying an inventory directory outside all ORACLE_HOMEs in OUI when you do the very first installation ?
2. Which one is more professional : one inventory for each ORACLE_HOME or one inventory for all ORACLE_HOMEs ?

When installing Oracle software for the first time, the OUI will create a "global" inventory under $ORACLE_BASE.
Depending on you OS, to locate this inventory look at "/etc/oraInst.loc" (AIX+Others) or "/var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc" (Linux+others).
You can add/remove Oracle homes from this inventory by using OUI or command line ./runInstaller.
Each Oracle home may also contain an "$ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc" file.
HTH
PS: +"One inventory for multiple ORACLE_HOME is a bad practice"+ -- Untrue. Perhaps only for those that don't know how to use it.

Multiple OS issues with Email set up; "People" ; Synching phone not working as advertised

Nokia Lumia 822
Purchased yesterday (2/10/13)
So far I have spent 14 hours attempting to resolve what feel like endless errors and bugs. If I can;t get these resolved in the next 48 hours the phone goes back. I am so disappointed I waited especially for this phone - heard great stuff. My experience is it sucks. Worst phone ever.
1) POP3 email accounts are non functional. I have attempted to set up and delete and re-set up now multiple times. Each time presents a fresh new nightmare.
Issue 1 - Email account receives email but will not send. Error message goes something like <" Problem sending message. Message failed to send. Problem with Files or Data on your device." >
Issue 2 - Tapping email + accounts sends me back to start screen cannot even set up account
Issue 3 - I get to add email account I enter my information but no account is created
Issue 4 - I set up an account and I get an error message stating my information cannot be found.
Issue 5 - trying to open email from start screen just resets to start screen over and over and over NEVER opens the account.
These are deal breaker issues. I have multiple email accounts on different platforms. If I cannot access my various emails AND send from those accounts this is NOT the phone for me.
2) PEOPLE does not function. ALSO multiple various issues and never the same one twice.
Issue 1 - I tap on a contact and get sent to the start screen over and over and over and over again.
Issue 2 I tap on a contact and the phone freezes and wont respond unless I pull the battery
Issue 3 I open a contact and make an edit, save the contact but the change is never reflected in the list
Issue 4 I try and search for a contact and the search freezes - only option is to return to start screen
3) Scrolling thru any APP randomly takes me back to start screen.
I dread attempting to synch Outlook calendar and contacts on my PC to hotmail - especially if I can't even set up email. And it seems like even holding it will jettison me out of anything I'm doing and back to start screen.
If I can't get these issues resolved. look like I'll be going back to my 3 year old Blackberry Bold which performed flawlessly. It may not be the most impressive phone out there but it did what I needed it to do with out any issues.

Interesting Twitter conversation VZWSupport on Twitter. It was suggested to try a HARD reset - and if that doesn't work take the phone back.
Since I don;t have anything set up yet that's my solution.
I see a BlackBerry Z10 in my future

How to set multiple ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID, on Windows

How to set multiple ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID, on Windows.

Multiple Goods Issue documents for single delivery?

Hi
I am getting multiple goods issue documents for single delivery.
In a order there are 3 line items, and one delivery is created and 3 goods issue documents.
What is the probable reasons for this.
The requirement is for one order with n items there should be one delivery document and one goods issue document.
Inputs requested.

Since you havent put the issue in details, I have listed my guessses.
This may be happening due to mainly these three reasons. Please answer them and get back to me.
1) The three Good issue may be happeneing due to split delivery active for the item. If yes then correction should be in the Material master.
2) the availability check scheduled is set in that way. If yes please configure the availability and transfer of requirement.
3) Scheduling of the goods throught that particular shipping point. If yes then please conficgure the shipping tab in Logistic Execution.
Please let me know if the problem persists and award points if solved.
Thanks
Adi

1 server, multiple oracle_homes for each instance (dev, test, uat, etc)...

Hello,
We have one beefy server to hold our dev and test and maybe more non-production databases. My plan was to install separate oracle_homes for each so that I can patch and only affect one instance at a time. Is anybody else doing this? Does this sound right? Any gotchas that you have run into with this type of environment?
I read something about you should only have one active listener...
Same concept, but with the ASM instance. Can I also install multiple oracle_homes for each asm instance on the same box? Is anybody else doing this? Again any gotchas people have run into to? For ASM, should I also have only one active listener?
Am I right that the only thing that affects all instances is at the OS, hardware level such as Linux patches, anything to do with users, groups, shared folders, nics, etc?
Thank you for your input!

For ASM, should I also have only one active listener?ASM does NOT require any listener & none should exist for ASM.

My dv5 laptop has an internal "typing" noise/multiple security issues

I'm not sure if this is a problem, but since I've had all kinds of issues with this particular model (the first Pavilion we were sent by HP had to be returned because the engineers finally deemed it unfixable), I thought I'd ask. I'm a little nervous about a sound that makes me think of little gremlins inside the unit typing away. It's not constant, but I'm wondering if that's normal and what the noise is.
Another problem is that periodically I'll get a message about the computer having "multiple security issues". I then do a virus scan, which turns out fine, so I don't know what it means.

The Intel chipset issue is not at all related for your Notebook. Its quite unfortunate you are facing this problem as I would say its a coincidence that even your second hard drive went bad so soon.
Time for you to RMA the new hard drive.

Multiple CS6 issues

Hi -
At work we recently got upgraded to CS 6 and I've encountered multiple functional issues which have slowed our workflow down considerably.
1) Drag and dropping from either the color or line swatches on the bottom of the tool bar (at right) no longer works. Dragging and dropping from the color pallet (fill or line) does not work either. In order to change color of an object we either have to create a NEW object with the new line or fill color and eye dropper it, or select the object- go to the CMYK (or RGB) sliders and enter the numerical version of the colors we want. VERY tedious.
2) for the reasons listed in #1, the gradient tool has become nearly unusable. You simply can not drag new colors into the gradient to edit it at all. The gradient tool has always been somewhat difficult to use- with CS6 it has become useless.
3) there are numerous glitchy interface issues that have cropped in- just one is the PMS swatch libraries- trying to get the library to list by name does not work periodically and the search swatch by number option randomly disappears and reappears. Recently the option to search field has disappeared completely and scrolling through the PMS swatch book constantly jumps back to the top (PMS 100 yellow) when trying to select colors. This effectively makes using the PMS swatches useless. We've had to do a work around by importing shapes filled with certain PMS colors and eye dropper them as needed. Not a great way to work as you can imagine.
Has anyone else encountered these issues and are there work arounds? We've done re-installs and that has not helped so far. Please note they are not letting us upgrade to CS Cloud version so no help there either. yay.
Thanks in advance for any help!

David,

Multiple freeze issues on my laptop

Hello.
I'm experiencing multiple freeze issues lately. Inspecting all logs available but found nothing.
1. sometimes gdm freezes while switching users in Gnome 3. I share my laptop with my wife, separate accounts. While switching from one user to another, somethimes gdm (screen with account names) hangs, in situations when both users are logged or one is not. Only thing that helps is to switch to console, log in and restart gdm.
2. I had issues with suspend, so I turned off suspend based on inactivity. Now sometimes when laptop has some idle time and is inactive, screen turns off. Then it hands, all leds are on, unable to wake (turn on display), nothing works, switching to console, nothing.
3. Total freeze while logging into Gnome 3 session of my wife. Black screen, all leds on, only hard turn off (long press power button).
I inspected all logs in /var/log, also .xsession-errors in both home folders of both users. Can't find anything .... I'm desperate. Please post some tips, how to log more. I can't even submit or search for some bugs as I can't determine even what is the cause.
My laptop is ASUS X50Z.

Z77A-GD65 Multiple BIOS Issues - B4 Hang, Splash Screen Blinking

Back in November 2012, I built a home server with a Z77A-GD65. Lately, I've noticed some strange things happening that I've been trying to research but to no avail.
First off, I get the B4 code hang-up whenever I'm booting. This doesn't matter if it's a cold boot or a reboot, it hangs on B4 for about 10-15 seconds, flashes 92 really quick, and then goes to A2 which it stays for another 5 or so seconds. After that I get the MSI splash screen for about 1 second, then it blinks 5 times. After that it goes into Windows just fine.
The blinking is a new issue, the B4 hang is not. I've read from multiple posts that this is a USB issue. When I disable USB legacy support, the issue goes away, but of course then I can't have legacy support. I have yet to figure out what exact device is causing it. In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated BIOS to A.A0. After updating to this version of BIOS the splash screen blinks 5 times before going to the "Starting Windows" splash screen. This is a more difficult issue to figure out why it's doing this because if you search for "BIOS" and "flash" or "flashes" or "flashing", you typically get results for flashing your BIOS. Hence, why I'm using the term "blinking". But even then I can't really find a solution out there.
I also happened to see that the website for the Z77A-GD65 is showing a newer BIOS version, but I'm unable to flash this (at least using M-Flash). I threw it on a USB, re-enabled USB legacy and whenever I click on it to install, the BIOS screen hard locks. The screen just freezes exactly where it's at in the BIOS and the mouse is dead. However, I can CTRL+ALT+DEL on the keyboard and it will reboot the system so I don't need to power cycle the computer. Not sure why this is happening either. Perhaps I need to flash this a different way? Maybe I don't need to flash this at all?
I could really use some input here on why this is happening.
As for the specs on my system, they're as follows:
i7-3770K overclocked to 4.2 Ghz by using the Turbo Mode in BIOS
32GB Komputerbay DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz DIMM with Low Profile Blue Heatspreaders Quad Channel RAM | 9-9-9-24 XMP ready
AMD PowerColor 7870 Myst Edition GPU - currently not overclocked although overclocking this doesn't seem to affect any issues
2 - 128 GB Corsair SATA III SSD - one runs the OS, the other I use to load games from
2 - 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM Sata II HDD's mirrored via Windows 7
1 - 750 GB Seagate Barracude 7200 RPM Sata II HDD
1 - 1 TB Western Digital MyBook USB 2.0 external
2 - 3 TB Seagate USB 3.0 external
ASUS DVD Burner - not sure which one, it's a cheapy $20 from Newegg
1 - PCI USB 3.0 expansion card
Antec TruePower New TP-550 Modular 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
NZXT Switch 810 gunmetal - currently have 4 fans running but plan on more, also the Switch 810 has the multi-card reader in the front with 1x SD Card, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0
for peripherals
1 - Microsoft 360 Wireless controller adapter (legit one, not the knockoff although I had a knockoff prior to getting the real deal)
1 - Logitech Wireless USB Keyboard with Touchpad
I tried to be thorough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Probably a USB device problem.
This is a candidate, as well as mouse and keyboard. Disconnect USB devices one at a time to find the culprit.
A lot of devices running. PSU a +12V single rail or is it multi rail? A rail going to the graphics or components may not be enough amps. My best guess is the card reader.
For UEFI/BIOS flashing, select your mainboard here and use the forum flash method;
I'll definitely try unplugging some of these USB devices to see if that helps with the B4 hang issue.
As for the PSU, according to the description for it on Newegg: "Four industry-leading independent +12v rails are provided for more stable and safer power output." It has two rails going to the GPU. The GPU is a new addition to the system and so I wasn't running it until recently. The issues were occurring beforehand, but you're right that this PSU is underpowered for the rig considering PowerColor recommends a minimum of 500w. I'm going to be buying a larger capacity one sometime in the very near future. Any recommendations on good modular PSU's? What's a good way to tell what wattage to get?
Thanks for letting me know about the forum flash method. I'll be back later when I have some results.

Multiple Version Issue. data not matching

Dear all,
pleas help me in this issue..
we have the Apo (DP) Cube. we are running the reports on this cube..
when we run the query we are giving the Verion ( means week) in the selections.. data is coming but.not matching with Apo..data..
we assumed that data is coming more. beacuse it might taking the data of previous year also.
so we included the Calyear and aksed user to selct both, vesrion as well as year.. because their req is for multiple version with historical data.
They want to see the data for multiple versions with historical data... even though data is not matching..
what we had done is again deleting all the data from Cube and dso an datasource , again loading... this time we asked user to run the report and match it the data is matching.. with vesrion
But when we go for historical data with mutiple version. its not matching ,
pleas help me out where to find out this probelm , what could be the cause ,.

Format on multiple columns issue ...

Post Author: needhelptoo
CA Forum: Formula
I'm having issues with the way the data is displaying.I am using the Format Multiple Columns.I have 3 across set.I have the Down and Across checked.My report with the 3 columns is a custom labels sheet.I need to have the down part always be 8 columns.i can't set that anywhere like the 3 columns across.as the sheet used to print the info are labels and perforated for each label (column)I have the following:1.
Group Header #1 on InvoiceNumber. This have my invoice header
information related to the customer of the invoice. Keep Together
selected.2. Group Header #2 on a formula {@sort}. This is suppressed and as a {@reset} formula in it.3. Details section has {@accum} and section suppressed. Keep Together selected.4. Group Footer #2 as the {@display} formula with Paragraph Formatting. Keep Together selected.5. Group Footer #1 on InvoiceNumber has add'l customer related info for the invoice.so 5 sections in my design view with 2 groups.It'll display the information in InvoiceNumber order in ascending order down first.But the last one on the 1st column is only part of the invoice info and the rest of it starts from the top of the 2nd column.and
then shifts all the columns according to that. Which of course then
does not print on the allotted space of the actual label. part of info
is on one and the rest on another.obviously this won't work. I think i tried everything I can think of and I'm not expert. Barely a novice at this.any help would be appreciated!

In the layout tab, have you tried the Gap between details ?, you should be able to produce a "mailing label type" report using detail size and gap between details...

Multiple Oracle_home (best way to upgrade) ??

hello all,
I was going thru the below link and found this very cool trick that i didnt know.
http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid41_gci1252556,00.html?track=NL-93&ad=587723&asrc=EM_NLT_1354356
it goes something like this
*My favorite best practice is the one about multiple Oracle Homes. Here it how it goes. When applying a patch or a patchset, I recommend against applying to the existing Oracle Home. Instead, I suggest creating a new Oracle Home, and apply the patches there.
I create the first Oracle Home at /app/oracle/db_1, for instance. When a patch comes out, I install the whole Oracle software in a different home -- /app/oracle/db_2 -- and then apply the patch there. During the process of installation and patch application, the database is up and running, as it runs off the home /db_1. When the outage window comes, all I have to do is to shut down Oracle; change Oracle Home to db_2 and bring the database up. If there is a problem, I can reset the Oracle Home back to the old one.
So, here is the conventional approach:
1. Shut down the database
2. Apply patch to the Oracle Home
3. Start the database
4. In case of problems:
5. Shut down the database
6. Roll back the patch
7. Start the database
Steps 2 and 6 could take as much as three hours depending on the amount of patching. The database is down during these times.
In the new approach:
1. Install new Oracle Home
2. Apply the patch to the new Home
3. Shut down the database
4. Change Oracle Home to the new location
5. Start the database
6. In case of problems:
7. Shut down the database
8. Change Oracle Home to the old one
9. Start the database
The database is down only during steps 4 and 8, which takes a couple of minutes at the most, not hours.*
But my question comes here...first of all is it possible ?? i am sure it is becoz Arup Nanda one of the know oracle guys wrote this article. so here are my Q?
1- So if i get this right...if i want to upgrade to 11g...and my database is on 10g...all i need to do this create a new 11g home...shutdown my 10g database...set my oracle_home to 11g and start my database up...and its all upgraded ????
2- Another thing that worries me is how this might behave in RAC environment. Any idea
on that? i know RAC provides the rollover upgrade so we might
not need this. but would be cool to know how it behaves...ANY IDEAS ?
3- Also, I wonder how CRS and ASM home like this idea ??

Basically when you switch from the old home to the new Oracle home you are following manual database upgrade procedures so you would need to run whatever scripts are contained in the instructions. Normally for an upgrade that is catalog and catproc and you would run these immediately after bringing the database up on the new home. For a patch there might be an upgrade script or no database level scripts may be necessary. That is the patch may effect only the binary.
What we actually do is in test install new copy of existing Oracle then patch/upgrade to current level. Next build an empty database and populate it. Next test. When OK shut it down and apply patch. Startup and follow Readme or Upgrade manual procedures. If test works fine and the upgrades tests OK then we remove the new test db, switch the actual in-use test databases over to the new patched home, run upgrade scripts as necessary, and continue.
After a few weeks we start getting maintenance windows to do production. Since we have multiple databases we usually do not do all of them at once.

Posting multiple goods issues against the same delivery

Hello gurus,
We are a fashion apparel company using ECC 6.0 and would like to know if it is possible to post mutliple goods issues against the same delivery?
I will explain the business requirement.
- We create a stock transport order to deliver 400 units of merchandise to on or our retail stores (STO is created and processed to a delivery).
- This information is passed down to our warehouse management system (which is not SAP)
- Our warehouse management system has the ability to split a delivery into multiple shipment when needed. For example, our warehouse may only be able to complete 250 units for our morning shipment and will therefore pick, pack and post this. This will feed back into SAP and process a 641 movement so that the units now show as "in transit". This is needed so that our stores can process the ASN and move the units into their inventory when they receive the merchandise later that day.
- During the afternoon, our warehouse will process the remaining 150 units and will ship this to our store later in the evening or next day.
Currently, we are not able to process another goods issue against a delivery as we close out the delivery during the first goods issue. We would prefer not to have to generate a new delivery for our DC and let them continue to process against the same delivery, but we are unsure how to configure this.
Any help or guideance would be extremely appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi RJ,
First of all sorry to write such a lengthy reply,In one line if i want to summerize then it is not possible with standard SAP however we can achieve this by writing some piece of code in both the system
AS - IS
               Business process
          From business process point of view you are right that once the pick & pack is in process it is not advisable to create a new delivery document for balance quantity and share the same with WMS as then they have to create a new document in WMS and start picking based on that rather then the old delivery document number. if i am in your position then i can give a thought like this
e.g.
Delivery                                                  - 100 Unit
Shipment confirmation from WMS            -   60 Unit
Change in delievry quanity / Pick qty        -   60 Unit
Invoice from SAP                                    -   60 Unit
Second confirmation from WMS                          -   40 Unit
Change in the existing delivery quantity                -   Now here we have two option either
1) Change the delivery quantity / Pick qty to (60+40) =100 or
2) Remove the 60 and update 40 as delivery and pick quantity
Pros & Cons
if you will select option 1 then furhter invoice will happen for 100 unit which is incorrect as physically you are shipping only 40 unit
if you are selecting option 2 then the document flow is incorrect as you don't have history(in SAP) for the 60 unit which was shipped earlier
Solution ::
so in my opinion the best option is to create a seperate delivery document (store the old delviery number in one of the field of the new delivery and pass the same to custom segment of the IDoc) transmit the IDoc to WMS write the validation logic in WMS
Find the record with old deliver number in the WMS system, check the status whether it is active or inactive
if it is acitive Validate the Material + qty with the WMS record(Material + balance quantity) if both are same then pass the new deliery number to custom field of the WMS table
At the time of confirming back to the SAP, Write a piece of code in SAP that if the incoming idoc custom field(new delivery number) field is populated then ignore the orignal document number and post the document using the new delivery document number
Hope this help
