Need to refresh Test environment from Production

Hi All,
I need to refresh our Test environment from Production.
Can anyone help me with the list of special tools from different vendors to do it?
Any kind of help is appreciated.

Hi Manoj,
Thanks for your response. I am aware of the system copy.
can you help me with some tools from different vendors that can be an alternative to system copy.
we have categorized the task into 3 categories:
Database restore
Client Copy
Special tools
The third one includes tools from different vendors (for example: TDMS from SAP itself).

Hi, we need to create the test environment from our production for oracle AP Imaging. we have soa,ipm,ucm and capture managed servers in our weblogic..
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to cloning the application from different environment, the test and production are in different physical server.
Can I just tar the weblogic file system and untar it to the new server and make the necessary changes?
Can anyone share their experiences and how to with me?
Thank in advance.
Katherine

Hi Katherine,
yes and no . You need as well weblogic + soa files as the database schemas (soa_infra, mds...).

Create test env from production system

Hi,
Please sorry,
I am new in this area of Oracle Applications 11.5.10 and I need help in couple of questions.
We have production system with Oracle Applications 11.5.10, APPS tier on 32bit Red Hat Linux EE 4 server, and 10.2.0.3 DB tier on 64bit Red Hat Linux EE 4 server.
We get the 2 new servers for test Oracle Applications 11.5.10 environment with same versions of OS like production.
First test 32bit for APPS,
Second test 64bit for DB tier.
Now we need to create test environment, same like production.
Questions>
1) What is the best way to create same env in this situation (32bit app tier, 64bit database tier). I suppose that cloning using rapid clone procedure isn't possible on this clear machines.
2) If I need to install Oracle Applications 11.5.10 software first on both machines, is it possible to use 32bit rapidwiz installer (existing in stage) to create test db tier on this 64bit node, or not.
I have read in the document Oracle Applications 11.5.10 - Installation Update Notes for Linux x86
You can only install Oracle Applications on an x86-64 architecture server if the operating system is 32-bit Linux or Windows. If your operating system is 64-bit, contact your operating system vendor to obtain a 32-bit operating system before installing Oracle Applications.
3) How to now from which stage production is created. When I try to create the stage for my test environment using perl command perl /mnt/cdrom/Disk1/rapidwiz/adautostg.pl
I get these options:
1 - to choose Oracle Applications
2 - to choose Oracle Applications with NLS
3 - to choose Oracle Database technology stack (RDBMS)
4 - to choose Oracle Applications database (Databases)
5 - to choose Oracle Applications technology stack (Tools)
6 - to choose APPL_TOP
7 - to choose National Language Support (NLS) Languages
Because I haven't seen directory oraNLS is this 1 good choose for stage.
Thanks, and sorry because I am new in this area.

1) What is the best way to create same env in this situation (32bit app tier, 64bit database tier). I suppose that cloning using rapid clone procedure isn't possible on this clear machines. Use Rapid Clone.
Rapid Clone Documentation Resources, Release 11i and 12 [ID 799735.1]

2) If I need to install Oracle Applications 11.5.10 software first on both machines, is it possible to use 32bit rapidwiz installer (existing in stage) to create test db tier on this 64bit node, or not.Type "linux32 bash" -- See this thread for details.
How to install 11i on Red Hat Linux 64 bit
Re: How to install 11i on Red Hat Linux 64 bit
You can only install Oracle Applications on an x86-64 architecture server if the operating system is 32-bit Linux or Windows. If your operating system is 64-bit, contact your operating system vendor to obtain a 32-bit operating system before installing Oracle Applications. What is the database version?
To migrate the database from 32-bit to 64-bit you need to follow the steps in these docs (depends on your version).
Using Oracle Applications with a Split Configuration Database Tier on Oracle 9i Release 2 [ID 304489.1]

6 - to choose APPL_TOP
7 - to choose National Language Support (NLS) Languages
Because I haven't seen directory oraNLS is this 1 good choose for stage.oraNLS is only required when you want to install additional languages in addition the base English one. If you have no installed languages you can skip this one.
Please run md5sum as per (MD5 Checksums for 11i10.2 Rapid Install Media [ID 316843.1]) to verify the integrity of the stage area directory before you run Rapid Install.

How to handle refreshing TEST schema with PRODUCTION schema ?

- we have database 10g ( standard edition), database name : ABC
- Schema name: ABC.PRODUCTION (which is our production schema)
- Schema name: ABC.TEST (which is our testing schema, where developers work)
Both the production & Test schemas exist in the same database.
Now once a week I wanted to refresh TEST schema with PRODUCTION data
Here is what I have been doing all these years:
=> Take a logical backup (EXPDP) of PRODUCTION schema (prod.dmp)
=> Drop user TEST cascade ( i don't need a backup of this TEST schema)
=> Create user TEST
=> Import PROD.DMP data into TEST schema
All the above 4 steps are being done manually.
Questions:
======
1. Is there any easier way of doing the above steps using some tool ?
2. Does Oracle enterprise manager which comes free with database installation (http://localhost:118/em)
has any utility or tool to do this job ?
3. I want everything to be refreshed (all database objects including data) ?
Thanks

This is crazy. One inadvertent typo and you'll overwrite your Production schema. Plus, what happens if a developer 'tests' against the test schema and slows the Production database to a crawl.
I presume you know all about this, though and can't make the case to management. I hope it's not a business-critical Production database!
Anyway, your method is decent. I would advise against doing it automatically, to be honest, especially when your system is so precariously set up. But if you exist, you could use encapsulate all the steps into a script and use crontab to automate the process. I, personally, wouldn't use DBMS_SCHEDULER as you have to be careful with priorities and workload sometimes (at least in my experience) and you might end up having your export/import clash with other jobs in the system if you don't pay attention.
Here are the steps I would use:
Create a 'create user' script for the test schema based on dynamic SQL. That way you can be sure you have all the grants necessary for the user, in case things change.
Drop the test user (use EXTRA caution and be defensive when coding this part!)
Export the schema using FLASHBACK_SCN to ensure you have a consistent export
Run your 'create user' script to create the test user
Import the schema with a REMAP_SCHEMA option (use EXTREME caution with this!!!!)
Compile invalid objects
Compare objects and exclude any recycle_bin objects. Send an email alert if the object counts are different.
Compare invalid objects. Any objects which aren't invalid in Production should be flagged up if they're invalid in test.
Again, it's absolute insanity to have a test schema in a Production database. You absolutely must insist on addressing that with management.

How to migrate custom user attributes (UDF) from test environment to production when a sandbox is published

Hi all,
I like to migrate custom attributes from test environment to my production environment. I read OIM documentation and i tried to fallow these steps but I cannot export sandbox and import it because all sandboxes are published in the test environment.
I exported and imported users metadata by deployment manager only. Now, all migrated attributes are in the OIM DB but I do not see these attributes in Administration Console.
How can i solve this issue? Is it possible to export published sandbox and import it in the other environment?
Thank you.
Milan

In OIM 11g R2 you need to export sandbox before publishing sandbox for custom user fields from DEV or TEST environment.
Then import exported sandbox in the another environment.
If you didn't exported custom user fields sandbox from your TEST or DEV in that case you need to create those again in another environment manually. There is no other option for this in OIM 11g R2.

How to move new container to TEST environment from DEV

Hi,
I have added new container choosing option as copy from existing container (Financial_Oracle 11_5_10)
Now container named as DEV_Finance, modifed source system parameters.
coming to Execution plan :
I have modifed existing execution plan Finance_Oracle 11_5_10 ( removed subject areas of Finance and added subject areas of DEV_Finance)
Please guide me what needs to be moved to TEST environment.
Containers : Financial_Oracle 11_5_10 and DEV_Finance or ONLY DEV_Finance
Execution Plan : how we will export no idea
Regards,
sp

Hi
In Tools->Dac Repository Management click on export and select the container you want to export.I think
as your custom container is still referencing original container except for the parameters changed............so u need to export both of them...by selecting both of them in the check box....hope this helps

Need to refresh Quality DB from its Production DB

Hi Forum ,
We have Production Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 Database and also have Quality DB with same version 11.2.0.3.0 . Both the Database's are available in different machines with different SID.
Like:
Production SID: EBP
Quality SID: EQP
OS: AIX
Customer: has rasied a request to refresh the Quality DB from its production DB. I have read various online documnets for it but every documnet is creating new auxillay database. I my case i already have auxilary DB SID as EQP .
Pls help me how can i refresh my quality DB in respect to Production.

Hemant ,
EQP is the quality DB of EBP, which is used for testing purpose by developers. I have to update the DB data available in EQP with EBP
If you do not want to drop the existing quality DB EQP and want to append the data from EBP to EQP.
Then, probably you can use datapump export import with TABLE_EXIST_ACTION=APPEND option.

Updating test database from production in Oracle 10g

What will be easiest way to have production database replicated to test database once a day basis? The 2 databases are on similar machines & same OS

What sort of test system are you building? Are you building a reporting server so you can run reports on a snapshot of the data? Are you building a staging environment where you can test applying scripts and can simply reapply the DDL changes every day? Or do you have a real testing instance which will generally have slighly different table definitions/ objects/ etc than the production instance?

Database refresh from production to test -how to clean existing test env

All,
My environment is
Both Production and Test databases are in two node RAC environment
Oracle version - 10.2.0.4.0
OS - RHEL5
Production database size 80GB
We need to refresh the test environment from production database. Complete objects, data etc should be refreshed.
We have a datapump export from production environment. With this export dump from production environment, I need to import into test environment.
So far, I have imported with this kind of dump to the fresh database only.
Now, we have already objects, data sitting in the test environment. How to clean the existing test environment and refresh the production datapump export dump.
I thought of dropping all the tablespaces in test (other than system,sysaux, undo and temp). But not able to drop few tablespaces, it is telling that index is available in other tablespaces, dependency errors etc.
Which is the best method to clean the existing test database. Management is not interested in dropping the test database and recreating it.

I understand that you are Newbie , let give me simple steps.
Follow the steps on testing envi.
1. Drop only Application users that you want to refresh from Prod(Do NOT drop users system,sysaux.. or tablespaces)
2. Create the users that you dropped.
3. using import or import data pump import the data.
In case you want to import user"A" data to "B" use REMAP_SCHEMA option.
See the below link for data pump export/import with examples.

Cloning a test CMS from a Production environment - process?

Hi there - I am attempting to clone a test environment from a production CMS system database.
ENVIRONMENT
BO Version: XI3.1
O/S: Linux
Web Server: JBOSS 4.3
Database platform: Oracle 10g
BOXI SETUP
1. BOXI environment type on Production (clustered with two nodes.)
*. Linux servernames for each BOXI node=Prod100 and Prod 101.
*. JBOSS ports on both nodes=15000. CMS port on both nodes=6400.
*. Database Sid=BOCMS@PROD
2. BOXI environment type on Perf (clustered with two nodes)
*. Linux servernames for each BOXI node=Perf100 and Perf 101.
*. JBOSS ports on both nodes=15100.
*. CMS port on both nodes=6400.
*. Database Sid=BOCMS@PERF
Process and requirement
For each project, as part of performance testing, we copy the production database (CMS / system database) in order to clone it. The idea is that we have a copy of production which we can then use for performance testing. We do not need to rebuild the BOXI 3.1 server (that remains there), but we need to rebuild system database. In version five we would copy the BO_REPADMIN schema into the PERF database and then change the connections in Supervisor. Can this process also be done in XIR3.1 ?
Options considered so far
1. The DBAs recommended just copying the BOXI CMS / System Database tables from PROD to the PERF database. My question is - don't we then need to change the settings in the CMS database (PERF) to somehow so point to the correct physical servers / correct SIA etc.? Could I just alter th FRS references and use the cmsdbsetup.sh to alter all the details or are there other steps required (manally altering ccm.config) ?
2. Copying the CMS from the PROD to the PERF CMS schema. However it seems like this is not an option as the Admin guides stipulates:
"However, you cannot change the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation path, operating system, and machine name"
As the installation path for the BOXI performance environment is different to production and they reside on different physical machines it sounds to me that this isn't an option, right?
3. Use the cmsdbsetup.sh script - create a blank new CMS on the PERF database then migrate all production objects from PROD to PERF using the Import Wizard.
Could anyone recommend further options? Thanks in advance.

Hi;
Can any one explain the detaild process about Operating level snapshot to prepare a test setup from a production databaseMainly; We are using IBM disk and our disk team take snapshot of disk and we can work on those snapshot than storage team again revert back system orginal state.
As you can see its performed by storage team contact wiht your vendor.
If you dont have storage team than I suggest see my below post:

Setup test from production

I want to setup a test database from production rman copy. I have an rman level 0 backup with no catalog. I looked at the duplicate rman command, but that requires to have a dblink to the prod system. I dont' have that and can't.
Given that I do I create a test database with a different db name from the production rman level 0 copy?
Please suggest.

Thanks but the doc has the following assumptions.
1. db name is same on the restored host.(But I want to have db name test and should be the copy of db prod)
How do I restore to a different name than the source db name and also without the db link connection?
Thanks for your help.

Migrate test EUL to production

Hello
I am new to the whole Discoverer thing… and have been named the Discoverer expert (lol)…
Can some me or send me a link of a PDF on migrating EUL’s from a test environment to production?
I assume this can be done. An EUL can be moved from a test server with test tables to a production server and have its table point at the real deal… would this effect any worksheet that was made in the test environment?
Thanks,
Rob

Do I use the EUL Export Wizard?
If so when I import it to a new database is it easy to change from the test tables to the prod tables?
