One database with multiple instance names

Dear all,
We would be very happy if anyone can provide me with some information of how RMAN operates.
Current situation: we have 2 machines running Oracle9i with just one database. The production database is "replicated" using EMC's TimeFinder/Snap. The differences are:
1. production database directory structure is slightly different than the replicated one: /usr/oraprod and /usr/orasnap respectively.
2. their pfiles are different: besides the differences in files location (controlfile, dumps,...), the instance_name are different (oraprod and orasnap respectively), but their db_name must be equal, which is oraprod.
3. at startup of the orasnap instance, all datafiles and redolog files must be adjusted/renamed to the orasnap directory structure (using a number of: alter database rename file) and the temporary tablespace needs to be recreated.
The orasnap instance is now ready for use... but problems arises within the RMAN repository. The oracat DB is the rman catalog. Connection to rman is done in this way:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target "sys/<password>@oraprod" CATALOG "catuser/<password>@oracat"
But "report schema;", whether the target is oraprod or orasnap, lists files which has the orasnap directory structure.
If the target is oraprod, then I expect to see the directory structure of oraprod and NOT the that of orasnap.
Did I overlooked something in here?
All help would be appreciated...
ps: see also my previous thread: "RMAN stops registering backups"

Hi Ebrian,
Another funny thing of RMAN's incarnations: rman seems not to be able to give a detailed backup listing (or restore some files) of the incarnation datafiles like:
RMAN> list backup;

Instead, we have only:
RMAN> list incarnation;

To know what is in (8990, 8991), we need to request:
SQL> select dbinc_key, fname from dfatt where dbinc_key = 8991
So, how can we treat incarnations? List, restore, ...

  • Sql server with multiple instance

    hi  All,
    i want  to  install sql server with two instance   and i want  to assign two  separate is  ips   for  both   default instance  and named  instance   and  both   should  work like
    two different server
    note:  If i  logged  with  one  ip(default instance)   it should  show  its  own  databases  not both or  named   instance  databases
    thanks 
     chintala

    Hi chintala,
    According to your description, if you want to assign the two different IP to stand for default instance 
    and named  instance, I recommend you set up aliases on a SQL Server with multiple instances. For example, a physical server is named WinServer and 2 instances of SQL Server named WinServer and WinServer\instance1.
    We need to add 1 IP addresse to the WinServer, there is one IP address already assigned to WinServer, 192.168.1.1, by adding one new IP's, 192.168.1.2 .
    We need to move into DNS to configure our host names and aliases.  The physical machine must be steup as a static IP in DNS. SQLAlias1, which point to the default instance on WinServer, will be setup as a DNS with an address of 192.168.1.1.
    SQLAlias2, which will point to WinServer\Instance1, will be setup as a new Host (A) record in DNS with an address of 192.168.1.2.
    When everything has been completed on the DNS side, you need to open up SQL Server Configuration Manager on WinServer and configure the protocols for each instance one at a time, restart the 3 SQL services.
    For more information about how to set up aliases on a SQL Server with multiple instances, you can review the similar article.

  • UCCE with multiple instance

    Hi everyone,
    I have a plan to install UCCE 8.0 with multiple instance in my lab environment.
    I'm not sute that, do I have to use hosted model or use enterprise and just create multiple instance on it.
    Actually, I want to implement multi-tenant , I'm not sure because I see that enterprise model also can add more than 1 instance.
    And if I use one of this model, could anyone tell me that what server I have to separate.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Tinnakorn

    Hi Tinnakorn,
    The Cisco Unified Contact Center Hosted (Unified CCH) solution is largely the same as Unified CCE, but it supports multi-tenant or shared servers to manage multiple customer instances. That is the reason you see the capability to add multiple instance, even in UCCE.
    All Unified CCE systems are deployed as a single instance (using the same instance name and number in setup) across all the Unified CCE components.
    Please refer to UCCE SRND for more details.
    Thanks,

  • Configuring HFM 11.1.2 with sql2008 with multiple instances.

    Hello All,
    I have installed and configured HFM against an SQL 2008 server that has more than one DB instance. So, in order for me to successfully connect to the DB instance (say for example in a UDL), I first have to put the server name and the a “\instancename”. Unfortunately, it seems that the “\instancename” doesn’t seem to be saved in the conifg utility. If I rerun the config, only the server name shows in the config. I believe that this is causing me to not be able to register the HFM cluster with Shared Services. I look in the log files (specifically the HsvEventLog.log file) and I can see in there errors that state “SQL Server does not exist or access denied”. I know that I am a DBO on this DB and that this error is exactly the same error that I get in a UDL that does not have the “\instance” when I try to connect. When I go into Shared Services deployment artifacts for HFM, I can see that it is also not saving the “\instance” name in their either. I try to export/import with the “\instance” name added in and it fails upon import stating that the servername\instance host is unreachable or does not exist. So, all of this to ask is if there is a simple fix out there that already exist on how to configure HFM if the DB has multiple instances. Thank you in advance for any help or information that you are able to provide.

    I think you would need to file a support call for us to take a look. Something is amiss here. You have 2 OHS running. Are they on 2 different boxes using the same shared service? How are these 2 OHS controlled? Do you have a load balancer in front of it?
    Run the epmsys_registry.bat and look at the output. Search for CALC_LWA (LOGICAL_WEB_APP). Look at the children of that. How many CALC_WEBAPP do you see?
    Based on that I can tell if it is a problem with the configuration.
    In the meantime,
    If you can get to the exploded directory of CALC manager, (On my Windows box it is C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\servers\CalcMgr0\tmp\servers\CalcMgr0\tmp\_WL_user\CALC_11.1.2.0\qxf61x\war), edit CalcMgrConfig.properties under WEB-INF\conf
    Add the following line to the end:
    DATABASE_CACHE_CLUSTER=true
    Now save the file and REPEAT the same for the other instances of CALC manager.
    Now restart all CALC servers and see if the issue is resolved (just a temporary check to see if it working without any issues)

  • Help required of creating Oracle RAC database having multiple instances

    Hello Guys!
    I want to create one database having 2 instances on Oracle 11g R1
    I have 2 nodes in this Oracle RAC
    Database name will be Val
    and instance name on node 1 will be val1 and instance name on node 2 will be val2
    Raw storage will be used, that is, without using automatic storage management or an Oracle Cluster File System
    Can anyone help how to do that ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Wonderful example thanks for the link.You're welcome :)
    I'm little confused which option to choose in shared storage option of DBCA
    i.e. Cluster File System or Raw devices?I suggest you to use ASM for you database storage requirement and select raw devices. oracle recommends to use ASM storage for sahred database.

  • How do i take one layer with multiple selections...

    how do i take one layer with multiple selections and make those selections their own layer?

    Yes sir. It w was really hard to explain. It is discontiguous segments that are separated by transparent areas. And I want those non transparent areas to be on their own layer. I have a photo shop file that has a bunch of buttons on them and they are on a transparent background. It is one layer. I want to select all the buttons and put them on their own layers. I can do this manually by selecting a button and cmd Just to a new layer, but when I have 200 buttons it is a daunting task.

  • How to create a new database after copying an existing database with a new name

    hi
    i have an existing database and want to copy with a new name in sql server 2005 how do it is possible 
    spose
    i have a db name attached in sql server StoreManagementDB now i want to copy this database with all the transactions as StoreManagementDB_1.
    thanks

    Use a two steps to use a backup file to restore a database with a new name.
    ----You need to have a full backup of your database:
    --Step 1:
    RESTORE FILELISTONLY
    FROM DISK = 'C:\bk\TEST.BAK'
    --Find out the LogicalName of data file and log file
    -- in this case: the data file: TEST and the log file LogicalName: TEST_log
    --Both names will be used in the MOVE command
    --Step 2:
    -- Restore the files for test1.
    RESTORE DATABASE test1
    FROM DISK = 'C:\bk\TEST.BAK'
    WITH RECOVERY,
    MOVE 'TEST' TO 'C:\bk\test1_Data.mdf',
    MOVE 'TEST_log' TO 'C:\bk\test1_Log.ldf'
    GO

  • One order with multiple lines in OM is creating multiple invoices

    Application: Oracle 11i (11.5.3)
    Modules implemented: GL, OM, AR, AP, PO and CM
    Business Requirement:
    Our client would like to create Order consisting of multiple lines in Order Management.
    The Orders created in OM with multiple lines could be booked, picked, released and transferred
    over to Accounts Receivable. On transferring over the Orders from Order Management to Accounts
    Receivables using Auto Invoice process the Order should create ONE invoice with multiple lines.
    Moreover, for the multiple lines created on an invoice deferred revenue could be applied.
    ( eg. An order is placed for software and support. The support is to be invoiced all at once but revenue deferred to 1/12
    recognized each month as revenue is earned.)
    Right now we are getting two invoices. It is putting the deferred revenue item on a seperate invoice. Is this normal
    functionality? How can I get both on one invoice.
    thanks

    Hello Monique,
    Well you can have one invoice generated for an order with multiple lines. This is possible by changing some rules in Account Receivables. Use the grouping rules under setups->autoinvoice in AR. You can club your invoices based on any of the columns of ra_interface_lines_all. Hope this works for you.

  • How to have one provider with multiple portlets in JDev 11g

  • One Output with multiple communication types

    Hello,
    My requirement is to print the document as well as send an email to the customers from the same output.  Basically One output with multiple communication types ( PRINT  & EMAIL).  How to configure this in the output type configuration area? Please reply. Thanks

    This should be possible with the same output type,
    have the output type defined with multiple medium in NACE under processing routines. (say print out in one line & external send in another).
    have the condition record maintained appropriately for different customers with different medium.
    Note: if your access has customer, dont think you can maintain both 1 & 5 for the same access.
    if this functionality is required, i think you can acheive this by maintaining the output under different access, but this will not ensure the same condition type flowing into the document unless the earlier condition type goes to processed status.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Powershell command to migrate Exchange 2007 mailbox databases with a legacy name, & import them into a new 2007 instance, with a new name.

    Hi All. I am currently at the later stage of provisioning a new CCR Exchange 2007 migration (to
    virtualise old Exchange 2007 hardware) for 5,000 users & have a quick question.
    I have created around 15 newly named storage groups, & have named 1 new DB per group, with the same name (let's say New-DB-1), residing within them.  The problem I have, is the old legacy DB's have different names (let's say Old-DB-1) & I need
    to import them into the new storage groups, to match the new names. So far I can import/export between old & new OK if both old & new DB names\folders etc. names marry up perfectly, but are unable to if there not the same. Does anyone have any thoughts
    on how best to tackle this, as this is one of the final hurdles stopping the migration? Many Thanks, John 

    Hi All
    Many Thanks for the feedback.
    The terminology 'migrate' was used based around the fact I will be decommissioning the old 2007 physical environment. This is after moving all DB's over to the new newly created Virtual environment that will host all roles.
    The solution I ended up using yesterday, was the following:
    1) Dismounted the relevant named DB (NEWDB) in the new environment.
    2) I then ticked the 'This database can be overwritten by a restore option' box.
    3) Copied over the old named DB (OLDDB) to the same location, & overwrote using the new name (NEWDB).
    4) Re-mounted the (NEWDB).
    5) Ran the following 2 PowerShell commands:
     Get-mailbox –database OLDDB | move-mailbox –targetdatabase NEWDB -configurationonly:$true
     Get-MailboxDatabase NEWDB | ResetSearchIndex.ps1 -force
    6) Checked to make sure the clients were working ok, in the now the new (NEWDB) environment.
    Rich: Many thanks for your PS script, which I will test with future DB moves & provide feedback
    J
    John.

  • Multiple MovieClips with same instance name

    I'm following a tower defence tutorial and part of the code is set up so I can build towers on the "grass" movie clip. I wanted to add more patches of "grass" and gave them all the same instance name so I can be able to place towers on them, but I have the problem that I can only place towers on the first item I placed and has the instance name of "grass". I can't seem to place towers on the other patches of grass.
    I removed the instance name of the first patch of grass and it let me build towers on the second patch, but the second patch only.
    I was following this tutorial: http://www.goofballgames.com/2010/01/31/how-to-build-a-tower-defense-f lash-game-part-2-placing-towers/
    Here is the code for it I believe:
    onClipEvent (load)
        active = 0;
    onClipEvent (enterFrame)
        if (active == 1)
            setProperty("", _x, int((_root._xmouse - 10) / 20) * 20 + 20);
            setProperty("", _y, int((_root._ymouse - 10) / 20) * 20 + 20);
      hitTestOnGrassMovieClip = _root.grass.hitTest(_x, _y, 1);
            if (hitTestOnGrassMovieClip) {
                gotoAndStop(1);
       _root.ranger.gotoAndStop(1);
            else {
                gotoAndStop(2);
       _root.ranger.gotoAndStop(2);
            _root.ranger._x = _x;
            _root.ranger._y = _y;
            _root.ranger._width = _root["tower_" + tower].range * 2;
            _root.ranger._height = _root["tower_" + tower].range * 2;
    on (press)
    hitTestOnGrassMovieClip = _root.grass.hitTest(_x, _y, 1);
    hitTestOnDeSelectMovieClip = _root.deselect.hitTest(_x, _y, 1);
        if (hitTestOnGrassMovieClip || hitTestOnDeSelectMovieClip) {
            if (hitTestOnGrassMovieClip) {
       ++_root.towerCount;
       _root["tower_" + tower].duplicateMovieClip("t" + _root.towerCount, 500 + _root.towerCount);
       a = _root["t" + _root.towerCount];
       a._x = _x;
       a._y = _y;
       a.active = 1;

      _root.selectedTower = "";
      _root.ranger._x = 1000;
      _root.ranger._width = 10;
      _root.ranger._height = 10; 
    }

    1.  You cannot use the same instance names for different objects and expect more than one to be targeted.  You need to assign unique names, or you can store references to them in an array and use the array to target them.
    2. You are posting AS2 code in the AS3 forum.  You should repost in the AS2 forum.  http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_actionscript

  • Can I create a database with the same name and DBID that one is dropped?

    Hello,
    I need to restore a backup database, made with Oracle Enterprise Manager, in a new one, because the original is dropped. I've tried it with the recovery tools but fails, i suppose because the dbid's are not the same.
    Then, Is it possible create a new database with the same old database dbid to restore de backup?
    Thank you very much.

  • Deploying a copy of existing database with a different name on the same server

    I am a developer(an inexperienced one) trying to understand what is the best way to deploy a brand new database with

    What I can't understand is how the project should be set up to deploy database Customer_2 if database Customer_1 exists on
    this server - the Visual Studio project contains DB Customer and I need to find a way to be able to deploy Customer_N (but without creating N identical DB's in the project). I checked a ton of articles and blogs, and feel dumb asking this question but haven't
