Oracle EBS R12 - 11.2.0.2 - Logical Standby Database & RMAN backups

Hi all,
I have Oracle EBusiness Suite R12 running on 11.2.0.2. Our organization used to have most of the business in North America, South America and Europe; but now we are also in Australia, China and Indonesia. Previously running large reporting batch jobs and RMAN backups at night time in USA was feasible but now that is beginning to show up as performance issue for some countries.
I was thinking would it make sense to have a Active Data Guard logical standby database on a separate server in the same US based data center where we have our main servers and use that logical standy database for reporting and RMAN backups. I am especially concerned about RMAN backups. Would I be able to make RMAN backups from the logical standy database and somehow use those to recover our primary database if some issue happens?
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks all,

Active Data Guard only deals with physical standbys. If you are using a logical standby you can always open the database without using Active Data Guard option.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25608/rman.htm#sthref846 says that:
>
Backups of logical standby databases are not usable at the primary database.

How to configure RMAN - Oracle EBS R12

Hi,
I have installed Oracle EBS R12 on OEL 5.6 and want to configure Backup strategy for Database. Database Version is 11.1.0.7. Currently Database is in Noarchivelog mode and want to take backup of database using RMAN. Can anyone guide me what are the steps to follow in order to achive that ?
Regards,
Priyanka

You can use RMAN to take backup in noarchive log mode.However you will be able to take cold backup only.
Use this,
RMAN> run {
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
backup database;
alter database open;
Note:
RMAN does not permit you to make inconsistent backups when the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode. If you employ user-managed backup techniques for a NOARCHIVELOG database, then you must not make inconsistent backups of this database.

How to delete the foreign archivelogs in a Logical Standby database

How do I remove the foreign archive logs that are being sent to my logical standby database. I have files in the FRA of ASM going back weeks ago. I thought RMAN would delete them.
I am doing hot backups of the databases to FRA for both databases. Using ASM, FRA, in a Data Guard environment.
I am not backing up anything to tape yet.
The ASM FRA foreign_archivelog directory on the logical standby FRA keeps growing and nothing is get deleted when
I run the following command every day.
delete expired backup;
delete noprompt force obsolete;
Primary database RMAN settings (Not all of them)
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 9 DAYS;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE DB_UNIQUE_NAME 'WMRTPRD' CONNECT IDENTIFIER 'WMRTPRD_CWY';
CONFIGURE DB_UNIQUE_NAME 'WMRTPRD2' CONNECT IDENTIFIER 'WMRTPRD2_CWY';
CONFIGURE DB_UNIQUE_NAME 'WMRTPRD3' CONNECT IDENTIFIER 'WMRTPRD3_DG';
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;
Logical standby database RMAN setting (not all of them)
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 9 DAYS;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
How do I cleanup/delete the old ASM foreign_archivelog files?

OK, the default is TRUE which is what it is now
from DBA_LOGSTDBY_PARAMETERS
LOG_AUTO_DELETE TRUE SYSTEM YES
I am not talking about deleting the Archive logs files for the Logical database that it is creating, but the Standby archive log files being sent to the Logical Database after they have been applied.
They are in the alert log as follows under RFS LogMiner: Registered logfile

Unable to open XML report in Oracle EBS r12

Hi,
I have new installation of Oracle EBS r12 (12.1.1) on linux.
To test the XML report, I changed the output of standard report 'Active Users' from 'Text' to 'XML' and defined the data definition and template for this report.
I am unable to see the output for XML reports. The report completes without error, however I cannot open the output file.
The browser opens for fraction of a second and then closes down. My client machine is Windows 7 and I used Microsoft words 2010 to build template
I used the 5.7.201 version of BI publisher to create the rtf template.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks

I changed the output of standard report 'Active Users' from 'Text' to 'XML' and defined the data definition and template for this report.
looks like xml publisher report, so output for concurrent must be 'XML'
******* I have changed the output of concurrent program 'Active Users' from 'Text' to 'XML'
I am unable to see the output for XML reports.
how you see it?
******* I tried to open the report by clicking on 'Output' button from view request screen of EBS.
did you try after concurrent completed check 'diagnostic -> view xml'?
******* I haven't tried this. Will do now.
The report completes without error, however I cannot open the output file
what is error?
******* There is no error, the request completed successfully. When I tried to open the output file by clicking 'output' button, the browser doesn't open.
did you check OPP log?
******* There is nothing in the OPP log.
if concurrent failed so first of all check your code - data template and package (if used)
******* I used the standard EBS report 'Active Users' and just changed the output from 'Text' to 'XML' and attached the rtf template.

1. in physical connections part can i use the same work schema
2. Can i use same contexts created or do i need to create everything as new and then try?
Thanks,
Rp.
Hi,
As you mentioned that you just upgraded the database, so the data is same and schema is same you can connect with the same work schema.
Yes, you can use the same contexts , but need to do Reverse Engineering for your new database.
And about data server, i think you also have no need to create new data server, if hostname,sid and port etc are same as these were with R11(consult with your DBAs regarding it)

Capture XML data payload into database table (Oracle EBS R12)

Hi All,
We have a XML Publisher report which generates output in PDF format. We want to capture the XML data payload generated by this report and put it into a DB table once the PDF is generated.
This report is generated through Oracle EBS R12 and XML Payload is stored by oracle by default in $APPLCSF/out directory.
Any pointers would be helpful
br

Couple of options, this one is probably the easiest without knowing other requirements (e.g., do you have to store the output as XML, or do you just the data available so you can output in XML later?).
Capture the SQL statement that generates the output in the first place. If you have that statement, you can insert into some table using the select statement. Once you have the report data (and you can tag that particular set of data with a job ID, timestamp, whatever, in case you need to store it and distinguish it from other reports down the road), you can generate XML output using the PL/SQL built-in DBMS_XMLGEN.
Is that what you are looking for?

Need to know how ILM agent can be used against Oracle EBS R12 and the options available:
a. Does ILM assistant map to industry Compliance requirements and can we add or modify based on additional Client requirements
b. Is this configured for all components and are the business rules (default) taken care in terms of archiving related data, if not what are the options available
c. What are the options to archive data
i. On Same and archive database
ii. Other RDBMS (mysql, or open source database)
d. Access to archived data
i. Is archive data available from the existing application or only from backend database
ii. Does ILM assistant provide options to access archived data (same Oracle RDBMS or heterogeneous database)
e. Retention options

Any update on my query please...?

Limits the Preferred Read-Write Tablespace to only 1 where as in Oracle EBS we would require multiple tablespaces to be Preferred Read Write. Can we extend the functionality of ILM assistant to have multiple Read-Write tablespaces...?

Oracle EBS R12 installation problem in Windows 2003

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle EBS R12 on Windows 2003 R2. I have installed cygwin along with required packages and also Visual studio 2005 as specified in the prerequisites of installation document.
All the validations are successful before installation but I am facing error during installation in Step3 at about 53 percent. When i checked the log file, I found that some of the files required for installation are not found in my staging area. Now I want to run MD5sum on the Staged Files.
I had downloaded md5sum_windows.txt and also run this command :
md5sum --check md5sum_Windows.txt > md5sum_result.txt
In md5sum_result.txt, I am getting error for all files. Error message is as :
oraAppDB\Disk1\data\driver\Disk1.drv
: FAILED open or read
This is repeating for all files. But i can see that the files are present in My Staging area. Do i need to set some permission for this. Please help. Desperately want to install EBS as part of perparation for my planned certification.

I have downloaded all the 33 files in oracle edelivery site. I have seen a post of yours regarding Oracle R12 installation on Windows XP. It mentions only some 25 files. Please do not rely on the that thread as it was for 12.0.x installation.
For R12 (12.1.1) you need to download the following files:
From: Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Rapid Install Start Here (Part 1 of 4)
To: Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) Rapid Install APPL_TOP - Disk 2 (Part 2 of 2)
Is it possible that contents of the zip file are lost during download because my stage area is about 39 GB . and also I have verfied all the files in edelivery site is downloaded too.
Also the error i mentioned in my last post, I can see the file in the directory but still its showing read error. Is it due to corruption of data. That would mean that I will have to download all 40 GB again :-(It is easy to verify the contents of the stage area directory without running md5sum, so please do so and post the results here.
Thanks,
Hussein

How to upload data into form of Oracle EBS R12 using ATS ver 9.0

Hi experts,
Could you please guide me how to upload data into form on Oracle EBS R12 using Oracle Application Testing Suite verson 9.(The simpliest way)
For example: I need to create user account on Oracle EBS. Normally, I use Dataloader to upload the data, however it just can upload one by one record, cannot upload multi record at same time. Moreover if the performance of server is low, so I will get the issue when using dataloader.
Thanks in advance

Hi you can create Virtual users to enter data. Note than you have to name the objects accordingly.
For Example default recording provided by Open script is ObjectNAME_(Index No of the object).
when you record one iteration the name of any object would be ObjectNAME_(0)
You can then create virtual users so the index will increment as the total number of Virtual users increases. Also you have to handle which row of your test data would get mapped to which Virtual user in the script run session.
Thanks

Hi user3726038,
I have seen posting about the installation of EBS R12/i11 saying it does not work with Windows Vista (64 bit). I went ahead and tried it anyway to see what kind of errors I get and to confirm if the errors I get are consistent with other people using Windows Vista. FYI, my installation went as far as 99% complete of step 2 of 5 before it errored out. I checked and noticed that many components of EBS have been installed with status equal zero which is good.
When I got the "TNS-12541: TNS: no listener", I went to Windows services, located the Oracle TNS service that was created by the EBS installation and tried to start it. Then I got this error: "error 1053 the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion". I googled the error message and the resolution is: "To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.". I have tried this but it does not work because my Windows Vista uses a higher version of .Net Framework 1.1. I have done more research but to no avail. However, it is fun as I learn many things about the EBS intallation and Windows Vista.
By the way, these are the steps when I run the rapidwiz on Windows Vista. Click on Start => Click on command prompt => right click on command Prompt => select run as administrator => CD to the path where the rapidwiz reside. Somehow if I use the regular command prompt the installation will die on step 1 of 5 even when I log in as administrator.
In your case you are using Windows 2k3. Make sure your OS is not 64 bit. Whenever you get an error and it does not say much, google it to see the resolution and make sure you read the Installation Guide. Hope this helps.

Possible to install Oracle EBS R12 on existing (shell) Oracle 11.1.0.7 DB?

Is it possible to install Oracle EBS R12 on existing (shell) Oracle 11.1.0.7 DB?

OK...I could be crazy, but I didn't see doing an installation of EBS R12 on a pre-existing 11.1.0.7 DB in there anywhere. It looked like the regular install directions. Are you sure?If you mean to say if you can install R12 with an existing EBS/standalone database then the answer is No.
If you mean to say if you can lay down R12 software (to upgrade from 11i) with an existing EBS database then the answer is Yes.
I hope it is clean now.

Oracle EBS R12 - DR setup using Oracle Data Guard

Hi,
Our customer has implemented Oracle EBS R12 (12.0.6) on a Two Node RAC on HP-UX env. The application Tier also has Two Nodes(Admin Tier and Web Tier).
Oracle Clusterware - OCR and Vote Disk are on Raw Devices and the EBS database is on ASM.
Customer wants to implement a DR solution with Oracle Data Guard with only 2 servers - 1 for the Database Tier and 1 for the Application Tier on the DR Site.
I would like to know if this could be done by following note: 452056.1? I would also like to know if there are other useful docs.
Thanks.

Hi,
Customer escalated this issue to Oracle and they came up with this reply:
They can implement Disaster recovery solution from RAC to NON RAC using Solution A which use RMAN utilities for backup and recovery.
While now AMP Application Management Pack gives the capablitiy to build non RAC from RAC Envioment, In future AMP will be capable also to support cloning of DB with Data Guard.
Details
Solution A - Using RMAN:
For Release 12 customers, you can clone from a RAC to RAC (like to like) or RAC to non-RAC. This is using RMAN scripts to take a copy of the db when it’s in archive mode. if you’re leveraging any disaster recovery tools like data guard, the above solution should work fine…perhaps some fine tuning to the procedures
Solution B - Using AMP in the future release
For Release 11i , Release 12.x customers, AMP would be offering a new cloning solution that wouldn’t have dependency on Rapid Clone. This solution leverages the strengths of EM Grid Control in provisioning or cloning targets such as databases. This would be an advance solution that would support:
o A full-fledged scale down cloning
o Cloning of EBS deployed on Shared File System
o Hot and Cold mode cloning
o Quantifiable reduction in clone time for the entire EBS system
This solution would be leveraging EM grid Control’s DB provisioning pack’s clone utilities, that are quite advanced and support cloning of DB with Data Guard.
The recommendation is to start trialing AMP version 3.0, making the purchase and implementing within the Enterprise. As we release the new version of AMP (release 3.0.1), Customer would be in a better position to quickly implement the latest features
Can anyone let me know if the solution A suggested will work.
Rgds,
Thiru
