OAS 10.1.2 Backup

Hi,
We have a simple OAS 10.1.2 installation, Java + HTTP +OPMN.
Can I use file backup for this running OAS 10.1.2 Server? I mean, while the server (OC4J, HTTP, EM) is up, can I just copy the whole installation directory to tape and later on restore the server from it? I can start up the OPMN part after the restore, but I can not use /emctl start iasconsole to start EM.
The whole idea for this strategy is to schedule an incremental daily file backup instead of doing on request backup every time I made configuration change…
Is it possible to do the backup this way? Do I have to follow the Backup/Restore procedure in Oracle Doc? Our setup is simple…
Thanks
Richard

Manpreet Johal is right. If you want to schedule it automatically, it can be done directly via the scripts (that's all the EM site does anyway)
I generally prefer to just do individual file backups manually before I do config changes, but when I make changes it's normally to 1 or 2 files so this is a simple matter.
As for the restore procedure, some files are dynamically read & others only on process restart, so the restore is a little different depending on what you're changing. Rule of thumb : if you make the change via the EM & it requests a restart (such as for dads.conf), then you'll need to restart the process.

OAS 10.1.2 Backup and Restore to a new box

Using the OAS backup/recovery utility, can one restore it to a totally new box with new hostname, ip etc...
Basically instead of installing a brand new OAS/portal can we utilize the jar and restore it instead?

To clarify further. these are the steps i performed.
1. Used Backup/Recovery console and backed up infra as well portal
2. Used exp command to get a dump of portal and its schemas. ( as suggested in Ch:11)
This listed out only the 'PORTAL','PORTAL_APP','PORTAL_DEMO','PORTAL_PUBLIC' schemas.
Not sure about the ones under INFRA
Not sure as to how to proceed further.
Do i install a new OAS/Portal on the new host now and import these files in the new schema?
Thanks

OAS Infrastructure DB backup and restore

Hi
I need to move the OAS (and portal) installation to a new host. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to backup infrastructure DB from the original host to the new one.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Why you do not use cp -pR command to take an cold back-up of your midtier & infra?.

OAS 4.0.8.1 for Linux: wrksf goes down

After having installed the OAS 4.0.8.1 for
Linux, I have a problem getting it to work.
I use the OAS Manager to start the following
four processes :
oassrv "Oracle Application Server"
wrksf "Cartridge Server Factory"
otsfacsrv "Transaction Server Factory"
orb "ORB Servers"
The four processes come up, but after a
minute or so the 'wrksf' process goes
down.
After restarting the wrksf in
command line mode (using the owsctl utility)
the same occurs: it stays up for about a
minute or so, and then goes down.
The log files don't show any error messages.
Does anybody have a clue in which direction
I should search ?
Can any tracing be turned on ?

After I fixed some of the things I broke while searching for the wrksf failure, the PL/SQL Cartridge now works for me too. And, after failing to get the DB Browser to work by loading it into the SCOTT schema, I got it to work by loading it into SYS. (SCOTT can't see the DBA_* views so loading the DB Browser into the database failed.) I haven't tried any Java Servlets yet, but that's next on my list.
If you want to try my wrksf workaround, rather than using Christoph's, here's how you can do it.
1. Backup liborb.so in the $ORACLE_HOME/orb/4.0/lib directory, just in case something goes wrong.
2. Using a hex editor, such as emacs hexl-find-file or ghex, to edit liborb.so, find the string "/proc/stat".
3. Change the directory, "/proc" to something like "/pfoo" and write the shared library file back to liborb.so. You now have the required modified liborb.so.
4. Make the /pfoo directory and cp /proc/stat /pfoo.
5. Edit /pfoo/stat and duplicate the first line, which should be the cpu line. This will let the metrics parser handle it. Make sure that /pfoo/stat has read access.
Of course, the values that the metrics code gets are now bogus, but that does not seem to be a fatal problem.
Hopefully somebody from Oracle is reading this and the real fix will be in the mail soon.

Hi,
1. Stop the DBConsole. (set ORACLE_SID first & ORACLE_HOME)
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\bin
emctl stop dbconsole
2. Update the <ORACLE_HOME>/<hostname_sid>/sysman/config/emd.properties file.
Change line from:
tracelevel.main=WARN
To
tracelevel.main=DEBUG
Decomment this line, so that the line becomes :
EMAGENT_PERL_TRACE_LEVEL=DEBUG
3. Update the <ORACLE__HOME>/<hostname_sid>/sysman/config/emomslogging.properties
Change line from:
log4j.rootCategory=WARN, emlogAppender, emtrcAppender
To
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, emlogAppender, emtrcAppender
4. Remove/backup all log files from ORACLE_HOME/<hostname_sid>/sysman/log
5. Start the dbconsole and upload the output of each command
- start the dbconsole: "emctl start dbconsole"
- issue "emctl clearstate"
- status the dbconsole: "emctl status dbconsole"
- check the status of the agent until it comes up: "emctl status agent"
- force an upload: emctl upload
6. Check If you are able to view the dbconsole Page & login
check below logs may be you can see the close error messages to solve the issue.
<ORACLE_HOME>/<hostname_sid>/sysman/log directory
<ORACLE_HOME>/<hostname_sid>/sysman/config/emoms.properties
Otherwise re-create the DBconsole using the metalink doc 278100.1 : How To Drop, Create And Recreate DB Control In A 10g Database. (Please check the steps from Recreate/ReConfig DB Control, if you want to re-create)
Thanks.

Best practices for backup of the BPEL PM?

Hi,
I want to setup back the SOA Suite. I have setup rman to backup the database but what about the SOA Suite 10.1.3? I can not find anything in the BPEL Process Manager Administrator's Guide or in this forum. The OAS has a backup mechanism but I think that requires the infrastructure part, that is not included with 10.1.3. How do you do it?
I really need a document that describes how to administer and maintain a BPEL installation. Things like backup, how and when to purge log files and dehydration etc. I can not find any. Does one exist?
Regards Pete

Handle the backup of the BPEL environment as any other Oracle environment.
The database by normal backup procedures and methods. For the Application server the same. By default or advanced install, the AS is running on it's own. It is not tight into the Oracle Infrastructure. You can do a full-file backup on the running AS instance, or an incremental. It is only integrate by SSO of you have done taht, but this is done by config files.
If you have an AS configured with an infrastructure the normal backup procedures are in place.

Planning ,Business rules and Reporting Analysis Backup

Hi
Currently we have migrated our Hyperion Planning EPMA 11.1.1.2 applications from TEST to PROD on windows 2003 Server (2 boxes).Essbase Server on UNIX and Application Server is OAS.We need to take backups on daily basis for Hyperion planning, BR's ,Reporting Analysis , Financial Reporting and Essbase , Open LDAP.
But now We are taking only backups for Essbase and Open LDAP by using maxl script and Backup.bat file (Scheduled in Windows Scheduler)
As per the documentation we are going to take the backups for the Hyperion planning, BR's ,Reporting Analysis , Financial Reporting also.
Our concerns are
1)Is there any BAT files for planning , BR'S and Reporting like open LDAP Backup.BAT
2) If doesn't have how can we move ?(not manually, Using Windows Scheduler)
3) Is there any necessity to create new Batch scripts for this action?
Could you please any one help me out.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
There are no other batch scripts I am aware of, you will have to create any new ones.
In regards to backing up with business rules and planning, that would be mainly be backing up the repository.
You can also use LCM to export your objects and this can be called from command line.
Cheers

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

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

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

RMAN and cold backup

I am taking cold backup manually through copy command on every sunday of database every week and archive log backup through RMAN
suppose i want to restore backup on wednesday
how to retreive and apply archive logs
as archive logs are after taking backup are in different format

connect target sys/aa@oas
connect catalog rman/rman@catdb
connect auxiliary /
run {
set newname for datafile 1 to '/ORADATA/dupdb/system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to '/ORADATA/dupdb/undotbs01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 3 to '/ORADATA/dupdb/users01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 4 to '/ORADATA/dupdb/indx01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 5 to '/ORADATA/dupdb/example01.dbf';
allocate auxiliary channel dupdb1 type disk;
set until sequence 2 thread 1;
duplicate target database to dupdb
logfile
GROUP 1 ('/ORADATA/u02/redo01.log') SIZE 200k REUSE,
GROUP 2 ('/ORADATA/u03/redo02.log') SIZE 200k REUSE;
I THINK THIS OPTION WILL WORK

RequestDispatcher.forward on OAS 4.0.8.1 for Servlet Communication

We are unable to pass request information from a servlet to another servlet or a JSP on OAS 4.0.8.1 whereas we have been able to achieve this
successfully in JDK using the same code.
Since Servlet Chaining is not supported in the JServlet of OAS, use the forward
method in the RequestDispatcher object instead.
RequestDispatcher rd;
rd =getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(/testme1/USe
rvl
et);
rd.forward(request,response);
It didn't do anything with the forward method and nothing was logged in the log file. Anyone out there, please send help ASAP. Thanks.

Copy them to your ORANT\BIN\ FOLDER.
Make the backup copy of previous dll from bin for safe bet.

OAS Enterprise Manager shows false Hostname after reinstall the server

Hy,
we have an OAS 10.1.2.0.2 with and 10g (10.2.0.1.0) Database.
Ater a systemcrash we had to reinstall the DB (the dbf-Files are from an backup) and OAS.
we decieded to rename the server.
But now we have the following problem: the Enterprise Manager show the old Hostname.
I see the thread for OAS Re: Oracle Reports Stop Working after Join the Server to the Domain !!!
which points to the script "cmd /c chgiphost.bat -mid"
Is there a similar "Script" for the DB?
(I searched whithin the dbf-files and found lots of old hostnames...)
Thanks in advance

For database is a different procedure, chgiphost is for OAS only, if you want to check this for database, you could, either go to DB forum and ask same question, or look in the admin guide for the DB you are using. There is going to be the way to make this changes.
Regards.
