Oracle AS 10g High Availability

Hi,
i want to install 2 AS 10g in HA (active-active).
I see that there are 2 type, clusterware (but is active-passive) and http/webcache balanced?
It's right?
Has anyone an installation example?
Tnx

Customer wants to use 11g instead 10g.
We wants to use 2 server with a single access point that balance the workload.
I'm not expert of 11g and i don't know where i can start.
Can you help me? Can you list (macro) the steps or software to use?
I also need Forms & Report.
Is there any note in MOS?
Thanks

Oracle reports 10g High Availability

Clustering is deprecated with 10g application servers and High availability is recommended by Oracle for fail over of Report services (standalone).
I would like to get any incite , oracle references as to how the recommended solution could be implemented both for cold and hot fail over of report services within the same subnet.
the architecture of our environment is that two hosts (one of them being standby) run report services using namingservice discovery mechanism and requests are manually redirected to the standby service in case one of them fails.
how could this be transformed into hot fail over ?
Regards

Read the section on High Availabilty in the Publishing Reports to the Web manual, and the section on Reports in the High Availability Guide.

Oracle Identity Federation - High Availability

Hello,
We are trying to figure out the high availability options supported by the Oracle Identity Federation. While reading the documentation we find it a bit confusing. We read the OIF Administrator Guide here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10773_01/doc/oim.1014/b25355/advtopics.htm#CHDBCDFG
In Section "9.4 High Availability" it said that "Oracle Identity Federation supports the Cold Failover Cluster (CFC) or active-passive high availability configuration,". In the Application Server 10g guide also said the same and explicitly said that the active-active configuration is not supported for the OIF.
Then in Section "9.5 Setting Up a Load Balancer with Oracle Identity Federation" it explains how to set up a load balancer for the OIF. When it explains this it says that we can have several instances of OIF in different machines, configured with a load balancer. All these instances share the same transient database where the sessions are stored.
Which is the difference between this load-balancer-based configuration and an active-active high availability configuration? If one node of the load-balancer configuration goes down, the sessions administered by him are lost? That is the difference?
Thanks!
Leonardo

Hi
I am not very sure about High Availability configuration but for Load balancer as mentioned in the document, You have to have both the instances sharing transient database where sessions will be stored.
If both the OIF instances are not sharing transient database and you have LB sharing load, It will not work as sessions will be store in memory. So sessions from one OIF instance will not be known and available to the other instance of OIF.
Thanks

Oracle High Availability Training

I am seeking training on High-Availability Oracle solutions - Not just Parallel server, but Standby, and HA configuration in Sun Clustered environments. The training should focus on the RDBMS (8i/9i).
Any recommendations for Oracle or Third-Party training classes would be appreciated.
I understand that Oracle alone will provide high reliability but to get to .9995 reliability (not 5 9s) we'll need some sort of high-availability solution.
Thank You for your time.

Hi
Check with Oracle University for High Availability classes. I
had an opportunity to look at their new features papers and they
were very good

Configure OAS with dataguard for high availibility

Hi,
We use oracle application server to connect to 10g database. This prod db has a physical standby db. I am trying to do a failover test where I make the physical standby as primary and connect to that db from our application.
I change the dads.conf file to point to the physical db. but I get ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress Error-Code:1033 Error TimeStamp:Fri, 8 May 2009 21:57:55 GMT
but this physical db is up & open and in read write stage.
The db name is prod and prod_stby. is this because of the different names ??

Hello,
I think you need to keep the infrastructure database names the same. Have you considered using the failover capabilities within 10gAS for your application servers? This is different from
Data Guard standby database option. Here is a good Metalink note on how to setup and configure 10g Application Server failover:

HTTP Server High Availability

Hello All.
I have a question regarding OC4J and HTTP server High Availability.
I want to do something like the Figure 3-1 of the Oracle Application Server High Availability Guide 10.1.2. See this link
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/core.1012/b14003/midtierdesc.htm#CIHCEDFC
What I have now is the following:
Three hosts
Two of them are an OAS 10.1.2 which we already configured the Cluster and deployed our applications (used this tutorial: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_1012/j2ee/deploy/j2eecluster/farmcluster.htm)
Let's say this nodes are:
- host1
- host2
The other one is the Oracle WebCache stand alone (will act as Load Balancer). We will call this
- hostwc3
We already configured the WebCache as Load Balancer and is working just fine. We also configured the session replication successful and work great with our applications.
What we have not clear is the following:
When a client try to visit http://hostwc3/application/ the LOAD BALANCER routes him to, let's say http://host1/application/ and in the browser's URL will not show the Virtual Server anymore (the webcache server) and will show the actual real Apache address (host1 )that is attending him. IF we "kill" on ENTIRE host1 (apache, oc4j, etc..) the clients WILL perceive the down and if they try to press F5, the will try to access to an Apache that doesn't is up and running.... The behavior expected is that the browser NEVER shows the actual Apache URL, so, when some apache goes down, the client do not disconnect (as it happens with and OC4J downfall ) and always works with the "virtual web server".
I came up with some ideas but I want you Guys to give me an advice:
- In Web Cache, do not route for load balancing to Apache, and route the Oc4J directly (Is this possible?)
- Configure a HTTP Server Cluster, this means that we have to have a "Virtual Name"to the Apaches (two of them). Is this possible? how?
- Use the rewrite mode of the Apache. Is this a good idea?
- Any other idea how to fix the Apache "Single Point Of Failure" ?
According with the figure 3-1 ( Link above ) we do can have HTTP Server in a cluster. But I have no idea how to manage it or configure it.
Thanks in advance any help!

You cannot point Outlook Anywhere to your DAG cluster IP address. It must be pointed to the actual IP address of either server.
For no extra cost DNS round robin is the best you will get, but it does have some drawbacks as it may give the IP address of a server you have taken down for maintenance or the server has an issue.
You could look to implement a load balancer but again if you are doing this for high availability then you want more than one load balancer in the cluster - otherwise you've just moved your single point of failure.
Having your existing NAT and just remembering to update it to point to the other server during maintenance may suit your needs for now.
If you can go into more detail about what the high availability your business is looking to achieve and the budget we can suggest the best method to meet those needs for the price point.
Have a great day

Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition High Availability (White Paper)

Hi all,
I've just read Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition High Availability White Paper
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/berkeleydb/berkeleydb-je-ha-whitepaper-132079.pdf
In section "Time Consistency Policy" (Page 18) it is written:
"Setting a lag period that is too small, given the load and available hardware resources, could result in
frequent timeout exceptions and reduce a replica's availability for read operations. It could also increase
the latency associated with read requests, as the replica makes the read transaction wait so that it can
catch up in the replication stream."
Can you tell me why those read operations will not be taken by the master ?
Why will we have frequent timeout ?
Why should read transaction wait instead of being redirect to the master ?
Why should it reduce replica's availability for read operations ?
Thanks

Please post this question on the Berkeley DB Java Edition (BDB JE) forum Berkeley DB Java Edition. This is the Berkeley DB Core (BDB) forum.
Thanks,
Andrei

Oracle EBS R12.1.3 High Availability with RAC 11g on VMWARE

Dear All,
Our customer requirement is of high availability and good utilization of hardware for EBS R12.13 implementation.As per our strategy we want to use Oracle VM(I think it doesn't require any licensing) , RAC 11gR2 and appstier load balancing.We have only two servers to achieve all these.One one node there will be two VMs one for dbtier and another one for appstier and same will be on second server.So this way we will be having four virtual machines on two physical nodes.For all these we will use OEL Linux as Operating system
Please share your experiences , if above deployment model is correct or need further enhancements.
Regards.

Oracle EM 10g is not available

Hi friends,
Recently i installed oracle DB 10g R1 and it worked fine as Oracle EM is also connecting. But all of a sudden im not sure the EM seems to be not available and im getting the following message in the EM like
The database status is currently unavailable. It is possible that the database is in mount or nomount state. Click 'Startup' to obtain the current status and open the database. If the database cannot be opened, click 'Perform Recovery' to perform an appropriate recovery operation.
But i can connect with the db in cmd prompt, i dont know what was the problem with EM as it is showing in unavailable status. What could be the problem here friends.
Due to this EM problem i couldnt connect my application with the db in my local machine
I have also checked in the metalink and tried with the ways but none of them dint worked
[ID 309687.1]
Cause
The DB COntrol console process is unable to connect to the database it self from various reasons:
1. the listener is not started
2. the database is not registered with the given listener
3. the DB Console configuration is incorrect for some reason
4. Database is not opened or accessible for client connections.
Solution
Verify if the DB Console process is able to connect to the database with:
1. the listener is started and the database instance is registered: lsnrctl status <listener name>
2. The SYSMAN account is unlocked nd the password is not expired.
3. Open ORACLE_HOME/<hostname>_<SID>/sysman/log/emoms.trc for connection errors.
I followed all the steps as my sysman account is fine and it is getting connected via sqlplus.
315299.1
Cause
The DBSNMP user account is locked and/or expired.
Solution
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. Log into the database as a user with sysdba privileges.
2. Issue the following sql:
alter user dbsnmp account unlock;
3. Verify that the dbsnmp user can connect to the database via sqlplus.
4. Verify that the sysman user can connect to the database.
I have checked from the above, as both the dbsnmp and sysman user is fine and it is getting connecting to my db. Other than this im not sure with the problem.
Thanks

Oracle TopLink 10g Introductory Tutorial: No Table Reference available

Hi,
I'm trying to work through the Oracle TopLink 10g Introductory Tutorial (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/doc/10131/main/_tutorial/index.htm).
At the point 'Map the Java Classes: Create One-to-One Mappings' (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/doc/10131/main/_tutorial/index.htm) I'm not able to select a table reference because there is no one available.
As result i get the following message after generating 'Mapping Status Report':
TopLink Map 'tut01Map' -> One of the packages is incomplete.
Package example.model -> One of the descriptors in this package is incomplete.
Descriptor Employee -> Some mappings are incomplete.

Did I make a mistake or is there a wrong configuration? Please help.
I'm using:

Update

Yes I did. But my database storage engine is set to MyISAM which don't support foreign keys. So this 'error' results from database configuration (Info: InnoDB do support foreign keys).
I'm wondering why the queries didn't throw any errors. So the foreign key/reference part was just skipped.
Thank you very much, rsapir.
PS:
How can I configure configure 'application side' references/associations? It is described in the TopLink Developers Guide on site 34-10 ... but I have no Add/New Buttons?
