Oracle 9.2.0.6 cloning

Hi,
I am using Oracle 9.2.0.6 on Linux AS. This is a 24X7 DB and I am not using RMAN. With this facts can any one please provide detailed steps or any link that can help?
Oracle 9.2.0.6 / 24X7 / no RMAN / Archive log enabled
Thanks in adv.

Actually, there is not much to setup RMAN to get the cloning efforts going. Please see metalink note:228257.1 for the exact procedure. I tried it and it works flawlessly.
Thanks

Oracle Apps RAC TO RAC cloning from Netbackup(tape)

Hi,
I am doing RAC to RAC cloning on linux 5 following is the note id i follow
Cloning Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 RAC-Enabled Systems with Rapid Clone [ID 559518.1]
In this note step 4.2 we use adclone.pl to prepare the stage on source using "Method=Rman", i think this creates image backup of the database on source system
In step 5.1.4.1 we restore the database on target using the stage backup we took in source.
So, here i was thinking if it is possible to use Netbackup server (tapes) for "rmanstage=" parameter. Because we don't have that much disk space to accommodate backup and as with Rman duplicate database we directly connect to tape with auxiliary for cloning, Please let me know if we can use this process with the above adclone.pl
Thanks,
Tanveer Mohammed

Hi Tanveer,
Yes what you want is allowed, you are free to clone your DB using rman outside of the cloning utilities.
When you want this make sure you follow:
Cloning Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 RAC-Enabled Systems with Rapid Clone [ID 559518.1] >> Section 8: Advanced Cloning Scenarios >> 8.1 Cloning the Database Separately

Oracle Applications Manager problem after cloning 11i

Hi All,
After cloning ebs 11.5.10.2 from AIX 5.3 to AIX 6.1, I have problem with OAM.
When I call OAM, after login, I get a blank page with Oracle icon in the upper left corner.
It seems that everything else works fine.
Acces_log, error_log does not give any error message.
Really appreciate your help
Thanks
Boris

Hi.
I tried all the above, without success.
Now I have a new problem, after I tried to relink according DOC ID 356878.1
adrelink.sh force=y "ad adadmin"
an error occurs:
"XCOFF64 object files are not allowed in 32-bit mode".
After playing with [ID 456985.1] and OBJECT_MODE=64 I do not know what next,.
Is it problem with AIX 6.1 and database 9.2.0.6 (which is part of ebs 11.5.10.2)?
Thanks
Boris

Oracle VM 3.0.2 cloning guest

Hi all,
I have issue with disk performance during VM cloning.
there is just one virtual disk (35G) and cloning of this this is very long. As I understood OVM is just do copy of this disk and nothing more special. In 3 minutes only 1GB, my network is 100MB, HDD is simple SATA 7200rpm, my repository in OVM Linux machine. So source and destination folders are same. With Linux "cp" command this is much faster.
[root@ovm VirtualDisks]# ll -h 0004fb0000120000d3a9f7302106e8d9.img

Where is mistake or this is just normal for OVM?

We use dd to clone disk images on NFS, or reflink on ocfs2 repositories. The reflink is instant, the dd is not.

Oracle VM 3.1.1: Cloning virtual disks between local filesystems

Hi all,
Is it possible to clone virtual disk between two repositories where each repository is based on own local filesystem?
I receive an error when trying to do such clone in OVM Manager:
OVMAPI_7262E Unable to find an owned and running server to perform copy_file operation on +diskname+thanks in advance,
Miroslaw

You can clone disks between repositories, if both repositories are presented to at least one server at the same time.

Oracle 9i (9.2.0.8) installed on cloned Windows 32-bit VMC instance

Hello,
We have a Windows 2003 Server 32-bit VMC instance running a copy of Oracle 9i (9.2.0.8) for QA/Dev work on one of our software products. This software is going to be moved over to an Oracle 10g database with our next product release. In order to test the results of moving our software to 10g, our system administrator cloned the current VMC instance (giving it a new IP and computer name).
I've found that adjusting the TNSNAMES.ORA for the database and Oracle client on the new (cloned) server instance still does not allow the Oracle listener to start properly on the new server... I'm suspecting that there are other areas of the database/client that need to be manually updated, to change any references to the old server name and/or IP address.
Has anyone had to go through this type of manual correction before, that can give me some tips on what areas/files to update so that the database/client will work properly on the new, cloned instance?
Thank you!
Sabrina G.

Could you please specify the error message displayed. And what does VMC stands for?

Installing oracle management agent 12.1.0.2.0 in silent mode.

version: 12.1.0.2.0

among the 3 modes of silent install described in the installation guide, i used agent deploy method.
Here are the steps i followed with the install
1. this the status of my OMS

Migrate from vmware to oracle virtual machine having some error

Hi
I am migrating the vmware with oracle virtula machine for that I have downloaded the OVFTool and run the following command
ovftool.exe c:/../vmware.vmx d:/../vmware.ovf
successfully I am able to migrate .vmx to .ovf file.
then when I opened the same .ovf file with OVM and its creates the anithere .vmdk files.
but then after when I try to reboot the same its gives the following error
Error Loading operationg system
Please guide am I missing anything in migration ????

Thank you for the information. The link you have mentioned is about migration the environment of a machine to a VM. But i'm looking for migrating an Oracle Database 11g from a Physical Machine (Linux x86) to a Virtual Machine( Linux x86) created using Oracle VM. Can you help me out in this.
Thanks :)As far as I understand it this is not really VM related.
You have an existing linux machine .... uname -a ... with a partiocular OS and kernel and set of packages installed ....
And a guest VM running linux ... uname -a .... with hopefully the same/similar OS and set of packages installed, similar users, directory layout etc.
And you wish to get the Oracle (Classic RDBMS) home software cloned/migrated and an oracle database cloned/migrated.
There's a number of different senarios here ... can i help you out .... (the answer is I could but i dont have time).
The start point is good planning and careful notes if you are attempting to change any versions / layours etc.
You might have stages like (this is a top of head fagpacket and perhaps not best terminology):
- Install basic Linux software on VM guest.
- Install additional linux packages
- create groups, users, directories, system parameters etc.
- Create or clone oracle home.
- clone oracle database by eg RMAN or otherwise.
Different forums may help different stages if necessary.

Missing datafile after cloing oracle EBS from production to test

Good Day
I have done a restore from the production system to the test system some time ago . Today I got an error on my test system saying ORA-00376: file 375 cannot be read at this time . After checking I found that the file seems to be missing on the test environment .
SQL > select file_name from dba_data_files where file_id=375 ;
/gldb11i/devdb/9.2.0/dbs/MISSING00375
So I got the name from production and since the file seems to be avilabe in test I did the rename as follows :
SQL> alter database rename file '/gldb11i/devdb/9.2.0/dbs/MISSING00375' to '/gld
b11i/oradevd/oradata/dev/gld16.dbf' ;
Database altered.
But when I tryed to recover the file I got the error .
SQL> recover datafile '/gldb11i/oradevd/oradata/dev/gld16.dbf'
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01110: data file 375: '/gldb11i/oradevd/oradata/dev/gld16.dbf'
ORA-01122: database file 375 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 375: '/gldb11i/oradevd/oradata/dev/gld16.dbf'
ORA-01206: file is not part of this database - wrong database id
Ofcourse that is becuse my test dataabse was renamed from production name fmprod to test name fmdev .
Is there any way to recover the file ? . I have all the archive logs avilable . Can nid change the database id in the file if it is only one file ?
Why did I not get any errors when I was doing the post cloneing process ?
Please note my databse is versio 9.2.0.6
Many thanks to all

1. Use Transportable feature to transport the remaining datafile from production to test.
How can I do that without stopping production or making it read only .
2. Reclone only that tabespace from Production to test.
How , I used the oracle provided scripts for the cloning process ie . adcfgclone.pl
3. Depending on the size of data contents, manually drop and recreate the tablespace in test, export contents from Production, import into test.
I am worried about the data consistancy . Will the database be consistant it I do that there might be tables on other tablespaces related to this tablespace
Thanks

Oracle single instance rac installation

hi,
do I need minimum of 2 servers in order to carry out 11.2 oracle single instance RAC installation ? or that its possible with one node? and then can add more nodes in future?
is there any article/documents on this?
thanks

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e10718/clonerac.htm#CHDGFHCA
"The cloning process assumes that you successfully installed an Oracle Clusterware home and an Oracle home with Oracle RAC on at least one node. In addition, all root scripts must have run successfully on the node from which you are extending your cluster database."
also
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e10717/intro.htm#BEIHEJGD
"Overview of Cloning and Extending Oracle Clusterware in Grid Environments
Cloning nodes is the preferred method of creating new clusters. The cloning process copies Oracle Clusterware software images to other nodes that have similar hardware and software. Use cloning to quickly create several clusters of the same configuration. Before using cloning, you must install an Oracle Clusterware home successfully on at least one node using the instructions in your platform-specific Oracle Clusterware installation guide.
For new installations, or if you must install on only one cluster, Oracle recommends that you use the automated and interactive installation methods, such as Oracle Universal Installer or the Provisioning Pack feature of Oracle Enterprise Manager. These methods perform installation checks to ensure a successful installation. To add or delete Oracle Clusterware from nodes in the cluster, use the addNode.sh and rootcrs.pl scripts."
it doesnt directly say its possible and I cant find full documentation on how to go about it ... but seem like its possible ?

788706.1 - Error Unable To Connect To Oracle Applications Database 'afscpgcs' After Cloning An APPS Instance & Changing APPS Passwords
306235.1 - Launching A BIS Workbook Gives Unable To Connect To Oracle Applications Database (afscpgcs) Error

784358.1 - Connecting to Oracle EBS with Discoverer Fails with ORA-01017 Invalid Username/Password Error
Try enabling tracing as noted in 370800.1 (How To Create An E-Business Suite Connection Trace For Discoverer 10g (10.1.2) Plus / Viewer) to see if you can find more details about the error.

Rogue Oracle Homes when using Opatch

Hi, I am using Opatch ( in this case to check for one off patch conflicts ) before applying PSU 11.1.0.7.6
The Opatch session appears to be picking up rogue Oracle Homes ( presumably from past cloning sessions or previous installs ). It also is throowing an error
Home name= APPSIAS_LPROD, Location= "/fs03/LPROD/lprodora/iAS"
Home name= APPSIAS_LDEV2, Location= "/fs19/LDEV2/ldev2ora/iAS"

INFO:Throwable Occured: OracleHomeInventory gets null oracleHomeInfo
The throwable is converted into Exception and stored in Result Object.
where is Opatch picking these homes up from and how do I reset Opatch to pick up the proper Homes

This seems to be an EBS install. See if MOS Doc 742477.1 (How to create, update or rebuild the Central Inventory for Applications R12) can help remove these bogus HOMEs

Oracle multiple homes on a single server

This is about maintaining multiple oracle homes within a single server for different oracle versions.
On a Solaris-9 server I need to have 2 11g versions where 11.1.0.6 serves one instance and 11.1.0.7 is expected to serve 2 upgraded database instances.
For multiple homes involving full installations it is simply a matter of installing software in a new home with a new home-name. But 11.1.0.7 is a patch installation that needs an existing 11.1.0.6.
What is the recommended approach in this case to host multiple oracle homes?
Oracle's documentation claims their cloning tools can be used (prepare.pl and clone.pl perl scripts).
It also has something on runInstaller -clone mention.
What I've achieved so far is:
(1) Install 11.1.0.6 via Solaris-packaging onto a clean server. This installed onto $ORACLE_BASE/product/11.1.0 using ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OraDb11g_home1
(2) Upgrade this to 11.1.0.7
(3) Detach this oracle-home from global inventory
(4) Rename the folder 11.1.0 to 11.1.0.7
(5) Re-attach as new oracle-home (name=OraDb11g_11_1_0_7) and relink at the same time using runInstaller -clone command
I am no DBA, so I'd like to know if the above approach is good enough or if there is any other recommended approach.
Many thanks.
G.Sharma.

@Helios, thanks but curious - why is this not stuiable under installation? - regards,
@Shrini - I am using Solaris packaging for installing oracle software. So unless I rename the target folder I cannot achieve different the same 11.1.0.6 in 2 different folders.
Even if I managed to tweak Solaris packaging and install the second oracle (11.1.0.6) into a second folder, wouldn't that be the same as renaming an oracle folder-name? In this case, we still would end up with the same issue of relinking and correcting the global inventory.

How to add extra fields in xml for BI report

Hi ,
I am trying to create a po print report .
I took oracle standard po print program , Cloned it with output as xml and based on that i am creating the layout for my po print report using xml publisher word doc tool . Now In the oracle po print rdf there is no field like requestor email,phone numbers. I want these two fields on my po print .How can i get those fields .If i see requestor portion in xml its as below
<LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>FRANK, SCOTT</ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>
          </G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
</LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
but I want some thing like
<LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>FRANK, SCOTT</ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>
               <ONE_REQUESTOR_PHONE>select 123456</ONE_REQUESTOR_PHONE>
               <ONE_REQUESTOR_FAX>111111111</ONE_REQUESTOR_FAX>
               <ONE_REQUESTOR_EMAIL>[email protected]</ONE_REQUESTOR_EMAIL>
</G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
</LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
How can I achieve this ...should I make a change in standard RDF for this or is there a way we can pull these details in xml itself ??
Please help .
Regards,
Chandra

I was just think on the same line if we can manage to fetch additional fields like phone number, email address of the requestor by writing a pl/sql in xml itself .But i see that atleast the requestor name should be passed into that query in case there is a way to do it .
Hopefully the change to rdf is the option .
Thanks Srini for prompt response.

RMAN-05520: database name mismatch

Hi All,

You are cloning...right?
Then shutdown the target database. Then change the init parameter file *.db_name='test2' (that is your target database name)
and then startup the instance in nomount mode and then try to fire the RMAN command.
