Oracle 9i database CLONE

Hi all,
Can any one tell me how to clone oracle 9i database. I am new in DBA post plz help me. Or plz give me any document ID in metalink.

You could use RMAN to clone a database:
Steps for Creating Duplicate Database using Rman:
•     Create an Oracle Password file for the Auxiliary (Duplicate) db.
•     Create an entry for the duplicate db in listener.ora & tnsnames.ora
•     Create an Initialization file for the Duplicate db & modify the following parameters:
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='/u01/oradata','/u01/oradata1/' [ specify primary db dbf location & duplicate db dbf location ]
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='/u02/oradata/','/u02/oradata1/' [ specify primary db redolog location & duplicate db redolog location] CONTROL_FILES=(/dup/oracle/oradata/trgt/control01.ctl)
•     Create spfile for the duplicate db
•     Startup nomount - - - duplicate db
•     Mount or open the primary db
•     Take a backup of primary db including archivelogs using rman
•     Duplicating a Database on a Remote Host with the Same Directory Structure: rman catalog=rman/17rman05@t920_ant target=/ auxiliary=sys/dbsys@dupdb
run { DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO dupdb                                            NOFILENAMECHECK; }
•     Duplicating a Database on a Remote Host with the Different Directory Structure: DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO dupdb

CLONE ORACLE APPS DATABASE TO OTHER MACHINE

Hi,
I want to know how I can clone oracle APPS database to other machine.
Just want to know the database part.
Thanks in advance

You really, really want to ask this in the appropriate Oracle Apps forum. Cloning the database may or may not be sufficient-- most packaged applications have their own data dictionaries that may need to be manipulated in application-specific ways in order to properly clone the application. The folks in the Oracle Apps forum should be able to tell you what scripts, if any, you'd need to run for your particular Oracle Apps version and database.

Unable to connect to Oracle Applications database (afscpgcs) after clone

Hi,
I have just moved (clone using rapidclone) two of our 11.5.10.2 install from a solaris SPARC 8 to 10 . After the clone, while discoverer 10g works perfectly well in one environment, it is giving the error below in the another environment.
- Failed to connect to database - Unable to connect to Oracle Applications database (afscpgcs)
Notes:
1. For the 2 environments, nothing as changed apart from the hostnames.
2. The password has not changed on both - from source to targets.
3. This happens when launching discoverer 10g from Apps.... discoverer works well on it own if not launched from apps.
I raised a SR with oracle and the 2 things they said have not worked. they said
1. change signon password case parameter - but I cannot find that in the list of system parameters on our system.
2. The other note says apply patch 6430269 and I can confirm this patch has been on the system for sometime.
Please advise on this if you have come accross this before and you can help here.
Thanks

Thanks for your concern. I have used the notes you listed but no luck. One thing I have to point out here is that I have always cloned from solaris 8 to 8 for years without this problem. Now I am cloning from solaris 8 to 10 and the problems is on just one environment. The other is working well. The problem seems to be related to the apps password but the password has not changed at all. Also, I have tried to change the password to something else and ran autoconfig but no luck. Please help

Unable to display page after database clone

We are currently running Application Express 4.02 using Oracle Web Logic on a Suse Linux 11 server. We had a new database set up for APEXPRD port 1542 that was working correctly with application express. We also had a database set up for APEXTST port 1542 (on a different database server). We removed the APEXPRD database from the database server using DBCA and then used OEM to clone the APEXTST instance to the production server. Our new database instance has the name APEXPRD with the port 1542. We have recycled all services on the APEX server but our APEX Production site no longer runs -- just getting unable to display page error 404. We checked our dads.conf file to ensure no changes were needed but everything appears correct there since the database name and port did not change.
Is there anything within the database or any other configuration files that I would need to change to get APEX to work after a database clone?
Thank you!
Amber

We got this resolved...We modified the dads.conf file to show the debug information in the browser window. From this we found where our cloned database had no temporary datafile. Once this datafile was created the APEX works correctly.
Thanks!

Problem Oracle 10g database Installation on Windows 2003 Server

Hi All,
I am trying to face some problem to install oracle 10g database on windows 2003 server with service pack 2. Once I start to installation it give me an error "Error in writing to directory 'c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\orainstall2004xxx'. Please ensure that this directory is writable and has at least 45MB of disk space. Installation cannot continue"
I double-insured that there is enough disk-space and I am also in the Administrators-Group.
Please guide me for the above problem although I have done oracle 9i database installation with the same configuration.

Sql * plus 9 is not able to connect oracle 7 database

Today I have installed oracle 9i release 2 and found that the sql * plus provided with is unable to connect oracle database version 7. But before that we were able to connect the oracle 7 database well.
Any one having a clue on that...?
Is it a product bug...?
If so then please provide me some alternative solution clue or patch download link. Please remember in any condition currently it is not possible discard my oracle 7 database.
With Regards.
Soumen.

No, it is not a bug. You just cannot connect with Ora9i R2 SQL*Plus to an Ora7 database.You cannot create a DB link between the two database either, if you are planning on doing that.
A solution is to install Ora8 client, which can connect to both Ora9 and Ora7 database (but a db link will stil be impossible).

What should i do with an Oracle 11g Database, MySQL database and a dump file.

I just joining to a new work field, almost about a database and i know "NOTHING" about this field.
My company has a system that running by Oracle Database, the problem is that Oracle Database will cost a lot of money when my company expands.
So the quest is converting Oracle Database to MySQL database.
Of course i cant try to convert it in the main Database, so i create one Oracle 11g Database on my LocalHost, and it already actived in " Localhost:1158 " etc.
I have another Sever test that already set up MySQL database, and a dump file from the system.
So I want to ask these 2 questions :
1. How to create an new Oracle Database from that dump file ?
2. Is it alright if i use tool to convert Oracle Database into MySql, or i should do it manually ?
Thanks alot.

I predict that converting to MySQL will cost your company more as it expands. As you expand managing contention becomes more important - Oracle does this for you. I do not think MySQL does, so you'll have to write more code to deal with this, costing the company money. A big part of making application scalable and reliable is to use stored procedures, how good are MySQL's compared to PL/SQL's. What other features are there that MySQL has that will benefit your company that Oracle doesn't. What do you need to think about as your company expands that need to be taken care of in the database. I would have thought a migration from MySQL to Oracle would be more common to deal with expansion.
As you know "NOTHING" you need to think about what each database can give you for the next 10 years to cope with you businesses potential requirements, and extimate how much it will cost to implement these requirements, then make the decision

Restore Oracle XE database to another machine

I have an oracle XE database on a Windows XP machine, and I want to copy it to a Windows 7 machine.
On the XP, I performed a backup through the "Backup Database" from the GUI (BACKUP.BAT). The Oracle backup created 3 new folders underneath C:\ORACLEXE\APP\ORACLE\FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\XE\
ARCHIVELOG
AUTOBACKUP
BACKUPSET
I installed XE on the Windows 7 machine and it seems to work well.
Then I coped the 3 backup folders onto a jump drive and put them in the corresponding folder structure on the new Windows 7 machine. I ran the Restore from the GUI as an administrator (RESTORE.BAT). The restore failed, and I can't seem to figure out why. I'm not sure what the Sequence Numbers are all about.
Now I can't get into Apex or Apex_Admin
Thanks for taking a look at this.

After playing around a little bit I fixed the problem.
There are a total of four folders in \FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\XE\ I had only copied three of the four.
ARCHIVELOG
AUTOBACKUP
BACKUPSET
The Windows services keep the files in ONLINELOG open, so I had to shut down the services and then work with the folder. Therefore four folders have to be transported and copied onto the new machine:
ARCHIVELOG
AUTOBACKUP
BACKUPSET
ONLINELOG
If you run as an administrator "Backup" from the GUI, it executes BACKUP.BAT, a batch file which calls RMAN. Once that's done, copy the four folders to the same location on the target machine and then run as an administrator "Restore" (RESTORE.BAT).
In another forum someone said to be sure that the "Archive Logs" are copied. It should be interpreted to mean not just the "ARCHIVELOG" folder, but all four folders.

Oracle 9I Database, and Mobile Server install history

Dear Oracle technical representative:
This TAR started out as a true request for help in solving installation problems with Oracle 9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, and Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1, but it has turned into a history of frustration with out of date, laconic, and often incorrect, and misleading documentation. As a software developer, I understand that documentation is always out of date, at least mine is. Nonetheless, I must speak my mind while understanding, and sympathizing with your situation.
I struggled through the documentation, and managed to get everything working. While I was doing that, I wrote down the step by step procedure that I used to get Database, and Mobile Server running. By sharing this rough install history with you, it is my hope that it will help prevent others from experiencing the same difficulties that I have had. It has been my observation that when a user has problems installing a trial software package they give up quickly, and do not purchase a copy. It is thus extremely important that the installation instructions, and quick start guide be accurate, attentive to detail, and well written. The first impression is the one that counts.
The Oracle 9i Lite Installation, and Configuration Guide for Windows NT shipped with Oracle 9i Lite Release 5.0.1 definitely requires, and emergency rewrite. It is terribly out of date, inaccurate, and laconic. My guess is that it is a very sloppy rewrite of poorly written 8i documentation. The Oracle 9i Database Installation Guide for Windows is somewhat better. It however should do a better job informing you that before installing onto a old server the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC), and VC runtime libraries must be up to date. The history describes the trouble with not having the MFC42.dll at version 6. Another corker is that the default port the installer presents is 2030, and not 1521, and that leads to major confusion in the both the Database, and Mobile Server installs.
Thank you for looking at the history. I hope that it will be of use to you when you update your documentation.

TAR for Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition, and Oracle Lite Release 5.0.1 Mobile Server
Installation problems are highlighted in red.
Installation sequence/history:
     1. Installed Windows NT 4.0 Server SP1 on Dell Power Edge 4300 dual x86 server to wipe the slate clean.
     2. Setup TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX networks
          Computer name YGGDRASILL
          Host name = YGGDRASILL
          Domain = CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
          Internet name = YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSATE.EDU = 130.18.130.225
     3. Installed NT SP3, and Internet Explorer 4.01 from the NT 40 Options Pack CD as the gateway to installing MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0.
     4. Installed MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0 from NT 4.0 Optins Pack CD.
     5. Applied NT 4.0 SP6.
     6. Installed Internet Explorer 5.5 as a prerequisite to installing MADAC 2.6.
     7. Installed MDAC 2.6
     8. Installed Paint Shop Pro 7 for capturing error screens.
     9. As previous install errors stated that the ordinal function xxxx could not be found in MFC42.dll, the latest version (6.0.8665.0) of the dll was installed, and registered from MS VC++ SP5. Also I upgraded MSVCIRT.dll, MSVCRT.dll, MSCRT40.dll, and added MSVC60.dll from SP5 to be on the safe side.
According to the installation documents all the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition are satisfied.
     10. Began install of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with target parameters:
          Home directory = D:\Oracle\Ora92
          Database directory = D:\Oracle\oradata
          Global database name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
          Port = 2030
          SID = FIA
          SYSTEM Password = phwphw
          SYS Password = phwphw
          SCOTT Password = phwphw
          DBSNMP Password = I left this one unassigned or empty.
          tnsnames.ora entry for remote TCP/IP connection
          a. CD 1 of 3 load
               1. Error writting to MFC42u.dll. Action ignore. A check indicated that MFC42u.dll version did not match the updated version of MFC42.dll. Plan is to update after install. Unicode version of MFC is probably not used by the installer.
          b. CD 1 completed with only one problem, and CD 2 load begins.
          c. CD 2 installed without incident., and CD 3 load begins, and completes without farther problems. The only issue to address at this time is to update the MFC42u.dll.
               HTTP Server URLs
                    http://7778
                    https://4443
     12. Evaluation of install success begins.
          a. Oracle HTTP Service will not start. It is of particular interest that on installs that I do not upgrade the MFC42.dll the Oracle HTTP Service will start correctly, but during the install I get the error message Ordinal nnnn not found in MFC42.dll, and the Oracle MTS Recovery Service crashes during the install. I am caught between a rock and hard spot on this one. See the Figure 1. At the end of this document. I do not need the HTTP Server at this time but I will need it later and this issue must be resolved. It appears that it hangs during startup. I am sorry but I lost the ordinal number nnnn.
          When I try to start the HTTP server from the Programs menu. It Hangs, and does not return an error message. See Figure 2, and the included Apache Setup.txt, the install log, and the HTTPd.conf . The conf, and setup files look OK to me. What is the problem?
          b. All other services start correctly.
          c. Logged into the database as SCOTT on the server with SQL Plus using the connection information:
               FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
               (DESCRIPTION =

               (CONNECT_DATA =
               (SERVER = DEDICATED)
               (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
          I created some tables, inserted data, and queried for the data. Everthing seems to be working correctly.
          d. Logged in remotely from my AOL account on a dial-up line using Oracle 9i Release 2 Personal Edition installed on my ThinkPad. Every thing tested out as above. I used the connection information:
               FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
               (DESCRIPTION =
               (ADDRESS_LIST =
               (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu)(PORT = 1521))
               (CONNECT_DATA =
               (SERVER = DEDICATED)
               (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
     13. I concluded that except for the Oracle HTTP Server Service not starting correctly, and that after updating the MFC42u.dll to VC++ SP5 level the stage is set for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1. I copied the MFC42u.dll to the server and registered it successfully.
     14. As Visual Studio 6.0 Professional updates all of the MFC stuff, I decides to install it at this juncture, and apply SP5.
     15. Installed JDK1.3.1 required for Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
At this time the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1 are satisfied, and MFC, and rt are at version 6.
It is important to note that after installing MS Visual Studio Professional 6.0 SP5, the HTTP server started working. It is clear that prior to installing Oracle Database it is essential that MFC, and possibly other components are upgraded before starting an installation of Oracle. This probably only applies to old NT servers, but it should be mentioned in the installation instructions.
     16. Attempt to install Oracle Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
          a. File locations Screen
               Name: = OraLite501
               Path: = D:\OraLite501
          b. Select Mobile Server at Installation Screen
          c. Mobile Server Repository Database Information Screen
               Hostname = YGGDRASILL = hostname from tnsnames.ora
               Port = 2030 = same as Database port
                    It is troublesome that the port in tsnames.ora is 1521, and not 2030 as was specified in the database install. I will try this port on the reinstall. On the retry, it worked. The problem was that I was mislead by the default port of 2030 at the database install. The database was actually installed on port 1521, and I was not given an error message, or warning. As I am a first time installer of Oracle products this threw me for a loop. The default port for the database needs to be 1521, if regardless of what the user specifies for a port you are going to install on port 1521.
               Net Service Name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU = Global database name as required by installation instructions.
          d. Yes. At Do you want to install the Mobile Server Repository question.
          e. At Oracle Protocol Support, I checked the SPX box.
          f. Summary, and Install screens function to specifications.
          g. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
               Database System password:
                    Password = phwphw
          h. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
               Schema Name: fiafield
               Password : fiafield
          i. Success at last with the install part. The problem was the wrong port number. See my above comments on this problem, and how Oracle could grease the skids for the next first time installer.
     j. I could not find the httpd.conf file in the place the install instructions said it should be for running the Mobile Server in Oracle HTTP Server. Since only one copy of httpd.conf existed, I added the include D:\OraLite501\mobile\server\bin\wtgias.conf to the bottom of the file assuming that it is the correct one. I the re-booted instead of using apache -k restart. The Oracle HTTP Server started, so there is hope. The install instructions state that the httpd.conf file would most likely be in the program files directory, when they are really installed in the Oracle Lite home directory.
     k. According to the documentation the Mobile Server should start when the Oracle HTTP Server starts with the wtgias.conf file added to the httpd.conf file. It does not. If I use Process Explorer, I know that Apache loaded the wtgias.conf, because both Apache.exe processes that are running have the wtgias.dll loaded. The facts are at this stage of the game are
          1. OraMTSRecoveryService is started
          2. OracleOraHome92HTTPService is started
          3. OracleOraHome92Listener is started on port
          4. OracleServiceFIA is started
          5. Apache.exe has the wtgias.dll loaded
          6. The Moble Server is not running and it should be if the documentation is correct.
          7. If I start the Mobile Server either as a service using wtgsvc -i or with the webtogo command from the DOS prompt, the Mobile Server starts, but when I attempt to log in with the URL http://Yggdrasill:7778/webtogo/startup it inform me the Mobile Server is not started and it is. Figure 3 shows the response I receive from the login attempt.
     l. I finally ran the Mobile Server in total debug mode using the command webtogo -d0", and it gave me the subtle hint that the correct URL is
          http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup.
     When I use the above URL and I can login to the Mobile Server with UN = fiafield, and PW = fiafield. I was confused by the documentation. I was under the assumption that the host address would be either http://Yggdrasill:7778, or http://Yggdrasill:4443. After all when I, installed Oracle Database these URLs were listed. It needs to be made clear in the installation guide for the mobile server that the Mobile Server address is http://Your servers WWW address/webtogo/startup, and the statements about the Mobile Server will start when the Oracle HTTP Server is started needs to be removed since they are incorrect. Also, the documentation should clearly state that the Schema Name, and Password given in the Repository Wizard Screen are synonymous with the username, and password for the Mobile Server login.
     m. After determning the hard way that the Mobile Server does not start when the the Oracle HTTP Server starts, and that the correct URL is http://Internet address/webtogo/startup = http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup, I decide to start the Mobile Server as a service with the command wtgsvc -i. After I re-booted, to my surprise, I could not login to the Mobile Server. When I checked the system services, the webtogo service was running. So to give the start as a service thing a fair chance I re-booted again, but obtained the same results. I thus concluded that the Mobile Server will not run correctly as a service. As it turns out my conclusion was wrong. After waiting a few minutes, my login try was successful. The documentation should indicate that after booting it may be a minute or two before the Mobile Server service become available.
     n. After some serious problems with the installer, and the documentation everything is working. I have a green light to go on to the next stage, which is program the handheld to take advantage of the Mobile Server. I will be glad to get back to programming, and am so thankful that I am not a network administrator.

Converting between tables in an Oracle Lite Database

We have a standalone application that uses Oracle Lite. A requirement we have from a new customer is to use their Oracle Lite database structure or to come up with a mechanism that sends the data between the 2 different structures.
Both the structures reside in the same database.
Initial thoughts were to write triggers on both structures that convert the data or to use XML / XSL and treat them as seperate apps.
However, I'm wondering if there is a different way. Do Oracle provide any tools that can help with mapping between 2 different structures that hold the same domain data?
Anyone got any better ideas?
Cheers, Matt

What are the privileges required for explain plan in Oracle 11g database

I am facing the problem in doing a explain plan for a view in Oracle 11g database. When I select from the view like this:
select * from zonewisearpu
It does a select on the view but when I give explain plan like
explain plan for
select * from zonewisearpu
I get the error like insufficient privileges.
Please let me know if things are getting missed out as I guess system level privileges are required to execute this.
I hope, my question is clear.
It’s a humble request to revert urgently if possible as I need to complete a task and do not know the way out.
Regards

Thanks for your reply. I have found out that an explain plan is possible on the user's own objects and is not possible on the granted objects from a different schema. For eg, if I do a explain plan on a view querying on tables from a different view, it would not allow the explain plan to proceed. This could mean that explain plan needs different privileges than just a select.
Requesting for a revert to this.
Here is a simple test case that I have perfomed
SQL> create user test1 identified by test1;
User created.
SQL> create user test2 identified by test1;
User created.
SQL> grant connect, resource to test1,test2;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> create table test1.tab1 as select * from v$session;
Table created.
SQL> connect test2/test1
Conencted.
SQL> show user
USER is "TEST2"
SQL>
SQL> explain plan for
2 select sid,serial#,status,username from test1.tab1 where username<> '';
Explained.
SQL>
So, as can be seen I am able to do a explain plan from user test2 for tables belong to user test1.
As far as privileges are concerned, following is the list
SQL> select * from dba_role_privs where grantee in ('TEST1','TEST2') order by 1;
GRANTEE                        GRANTED_ROLE                   ADM DEF
TEST1                          CONNECT                        NO YES
TEST1                          RESOURCE                       NO YES
TEST2                          CONNECT                        NO YES
TEST2                          RESOURCE                       NO YES
SQL>
SQL> select grantee,owner,table_name,privilege from dba_tab_privs where grantee in ('TEST1','TEST2') order by 1;

TEST2      TEST1      TAB1                 SELECT
SQL>
SQL> select * from dba_sys_privs where grantee in ('TEST1','TEST2') order by 1;
GRANTEE    PRIVILEGE                      ADM
TEST1      UNLIMITED TABLESPACE           NO
TEST2      UNLIMITED TABLESPACE           NO
