Oracle in OpenVMS cluster environment

Hello,
I'm about to install Oracle Server 9.0.1.0.0 on a 2- member node OpenVMS cluster running OpenVMS 7.3-1.
I wonder if anyone knows if there are considerations about the installation, any gotya's ?
I have tried to search about the issue on the Metalink, but without any success.
It would be nice to know how Oracle behaves in a cluster, are there any builtins in Oracle or does OpenVMS cluster sw handle all the stuff ?
Regards,
/Arne Korpas

if you are using 11g then you just need to copy the rpd on to a shared folder and in EM just provide the path for the same. So when you restart the OBIEE services it will automatically copies to local machine folders (/repository) and even the online changes made gets reflected in the same way.
If you are using 10g then you just need to copy the RPD on both the local machines and if you make any online changes it will get reflected to master server and file get copied over to shared folder so you need to restart the secondary server inorder to reflect the online changes to the RPD of 2ndary server using shared folder
hope it helps

Shutdown Oracle Database in MSCS Environment

Dear All,
We are facing problem regarding shutdown the oracle database in Cluster Environment. We have installed SAP HA on windows 2003 server and backend database is Oracle.
In order to configure the dataguard we have to create the control file from Primary Database for this purpose we have to shutdown and then startup the database in mount state.
But whenever i shutdown the database from SQL prompt by "shutdown immediate" command and see the status of
database it always remains in open state.
I have tried the following options as well but no success:-
Stop all the instances of SAP and then shutdown the database.
Shutdown the second node and then shutdown the database.
Brought offline the ORACLE<SID> group and then shutdown the database.
Kind Regards

Hi,
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error"
The above error message comes if Oracle Listener service is not running. Start Oracle TNS Listener service, if it is not running.
You can create control file while your Primary Database is ONLINE. Use the below mentioned command to create standby control file and use it for recovery at Standby database.
ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS '/path/to/controlfile.ctl';
If you want to Start/Stop SAP/ORACLE in MCSC environment then refer the steps mentioned in these threads, [thread1|Re: how to start/stop a MSCS clustered SAP system?; and [thread2|Stop sap and oracle on MSCS;.

Installation of CRM 2007 in Windows with oracle and cluster environment

Dear Experts,
We are about to start the installation of CRM 2007 (ABAP+JAVA) with
Oracle 10g on Windows x64 in cluster environment. In the SAPINST dialog
box under High availability option, I could see installation options like ASCS
Instance, SCS Instance, First MSCS node, Database Instance, Additional
MSCS Node, Enqueue Replication Server, Central Instance and Dialog
Instance.
I have gone through the installation guide. I have below queries
regarding the same. Can you please clarify the same
1) Our requirement is we want to have an ACTIVE-ACTIVE cluster setup
with sap service running in Node A and Database running in Node B. Can
we have this setup in ABAP+JAVA setup
2) Also,in the SAPINST dialog box as said above except last two
(Central and Dialoge instance) as per standard installation guide are
to be installed in shared drives as per the requirement. But, central
and dialog are said to be installed locally on any one node in MSCS or
in separate server. As per my understanding Dialog instance will be
used for load balancing which we do not require now. Hence I feel this
is optional in our case. Where as Central Instance I am not able to
understand why this option is for? Is it mandatory to be installed or optional. If
so, when I installed it in one of the MSCS node the incase of failover
how does it effect the system. As per my understanding ASCS and SCS
comprise central instance.
Please clarify and thanks in advance.

I am following as per the standard installation guide.

Re: Forte Environment on OpenVMS Cluster - doubling up forno reason?

Hi,
I tested Forte on OpenVMS more than one year ago. So, it's only
what I remember and it was on Forte R2. Normally, it should work
exactly as you described if you have one TCP alias for the two nodes.
The test I made (one year ago) prouved that Forte does not
know the active cluster of Digital.
Now I work on RS6000 and we have planned to use HACMP (but the cluster
is not active). We use one TCP alias for the two machines, and the same
socket number. So if Machine 1 fails, HACMP will startup Forte and the
environment on the Machine 2. The application is made to be able to
reconnect
to a new environment (and name server). For the deployment, we should
deploy
only once, because the environment sees only one alias and socket on the
TCP
level. On that Idea, you should try to start the same environement on
the
2 machines with one alias and the same socket. The deployment should be
done
only once, but you should need to load distrib twice. You may need to
deploy
(Appdist directory to have a local load) manually.
I'm really interested on the result if you make the test.
Hope it helps,

Anyone out here using Forte on a OpenVMS CLUSTER?
I'm running an environment over a cluster and want to know if I can cut
down on any builds since both nodes use the same directory on the same
disk(s) via the same controller etc.
For a start I don't want Forte to "distribute" the new appdist and userapp
to the clustered node - it's already "there".
If I can cut down on the loading of the app and on the install that would
be good to.
BTW, so far I only replicate a loadbalanced EntityManager part to attach to RDB dbs on the two machines - 5 each node. Same database.

I have found it possible to do "stand-alone" development without a node
manager or environment manager (under both Windows NT 3.51 & 4.0) by:
1) Creating a shadow repository
2) Detaching the shadow repository
3) Running Forte stand-alone against the shadow (switched using Forte
Control Panel)
All application resources must be installed & running local (ODBC connection
to databases, etc...)

George,
There are a couple of ways you can do testing on a single PC.
1. If you have NT 3.5.1 or 4.0 on your PC, you can run the
environment manager (nodemgr -e YourEnvName). With an environment
manager running, you can then run Forte Distributed, partition, and
run distributed which will start server partitions on the NT box, etc.
2. If you have Win 3.1 or Win 95, then you cannot run an environment
manager or server partitions, but you can still connect to an ODBC database.
Setting up an ODBC resource manager is very straight-forward. You do some
of the work in the ODBC control panel (ie. mapping a name to a particular
data source such as Access file, flat file, etc.). You then run Forte
Standalone which will automatically use ODBC for any DBSessions or
DBResourceMgr
service objects that need to get created by a run. You don't need to
change your service object to point to an ODBC Resource Mgr, the system
does it automagically.
Hope this helps,
Bobby

SAP R/3 4.7 SR1 Migration to MSCS cluster environment

Hi all,
We are planning to move our existing standalone server R/3 production server to cluster environment.
I have some queries regarding this migration
Our R/3 system is running on SAP R/3 4.7x1.10 SR1 on Windows 2003 and Oracle 9.2
1. Central Instance has to be installed in local disk or shared disk
2. Is it correct to R3load procedures to export data from old server and import during Database installation
3. Presently our server is running with kernel 640, but for the new installation kernel will be 620. So when can i upgrade kernel immediately after central instance installation or after CI and DB Instance installation.
Give me some inputs
Thanks & Regards
KT

Hi, the best place for your questions would have been the forum SAP on Windows.
However, here the answers.
1) CI must be on a shared disk
2) Right, if you don't change the database platform and its release you can also use backup/restore
3) Right. You can also perform the installation with the latest NW04 installation master

How to setup the cluster environment for BPM using weblogic

want to setup the cluster environment for BPM using weblogic....
i have installed the oracle weblogic server 10gr3 and oracle BPM enterprise for weblogic 10gR3
i have used the Admin tools from the "oracle BPM enterprise for weblogic" to setup the configuration and create the weblogic domain servers.
i can launch the process administrator and import the project exp file to domain server.
but what should i do to setup cluster environment using weblogic?
what i want to do is :
setup one admin machine..
setup two product machine..
enable the cluster so the admin machine can monitor the status of the product machine..
thanks a lot ...

The install guide at http://download-llnw.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/config_guide/index.html gives a reasonable amount of info on how to do this.
Personally I have not used the OBPM option to configure WebLogic instead I've used the information in the above install guide to create the weblogic domain in advance of configuring OBPM.
Once you've setup WebLogic configure OBPM using the values I mention in the following thread: How to set the JMX Engine parameter in Process Administation?
Let me know any specific config questions and I'll do my best to answer them for you.

Changing the listener port number in a cluster environment

Hello,
I have an Oracle 10g database on a Windows cluster environment with Oracle Fail safe. I am trying to change the default listener port number - these are the steps I have done to change the port number:
1) Take the listener offline via Oracle Fail safe
2) stop the original listener from the command line
3) change the port number in the listener.ora file & save
4) start the original listener
5) bring the listener online in Fail safe
6) register the listener in the database with ALTER SYSTEM SET LOCAL_LISTENER....
After all this, when i check the status of the listener via lsnrctl, i see that the new port number is used, however in the Fail safe administrator, I still see the default port 1521. How do I go about changing the port number so that Fail safe also registers the change?

I did troubleshooting to verify the group, but this just changed the port number back to the default in the listener.ora & tnsnames.ora.
So I did all the steps again to change the port number from the default to another - via lsnrctl status, i see that the new port number is being used, I can also log in to the database via Toad using the new port number, in v$parameter i see that the local_listener is registered on the new port number....only under the Fail Safe manager, the port number (under listener parameter) has not changed....it still shows the default port number. Anyone know how to change this???

OPMN fails in cluster environment after the machie reboots.

Dear All:
Have you ever meet the following problem or have any suggestion for it? Thanks a lot.
There are machine A and B have been setup successfully in a cluster environment, everything is fine.
However, after the machine B reboots, the Oracle BI Server and Presentation Server in machine B could not start.
The error message for Oracle BI Server is:
[2011-06-02T10:40:34.000+00:00] [OracleBIServerComponent] [NOTIFICATION:1] [] [] [ecid: ] [tid: 1060] Server start up failed: [nQSError: 43079] Oracle BI Server could not start because locating or importing newly published repositories failed.
The error message for presentation server is:

The detail information is:
1)     Machine A and B both run Windows 2008 server 64bit.
2)     Machine A runs Admin Server+BI_Server1(managed server). Machine B is configured with “Scale out an existing installation” option and runs BI_Server2(managed server).
3)     BIEE 11.1.1.3
4)     In EM, the shared location of shared repository has been set to something like \\10.91.61.158\shared\RPD. The catalog path has been set to \\10.91.61.158\BIEEShare\CATALOG\SampleAppLite. Both path could be accessed by machine A and B.
5)     Before machine B reboots, everything is fine. All the servers could be started.
6)     After machine B reboots, the managed server BI_server2 could be started successfully. However, “opmnctl startall” would incur the above error message.
Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks a lot!

Quartz Scheduler in Oracle SOA 10g clustered environment

Hi,
I was able to successfully test the usage of Quartz scheduler in our Oracle SOA 10g dev environment. Our dev is single instance where as our Test and Prod are clustered. I would like to know if the scheduler works in clustered environment. I wasn't able to find any documentation specific to Quartz for Bpel. If it can be done can you provide some guidance.
I really appreciate your help
Jagan.

Jagan
The schedulers do work on cluster environment. The trick is that every node has its oc4j containers, so you will need to deploy the scheduler process to every node in the cluster.
Suppose you have two nodes, and have a requirement to run certain process every two hours. You schedule the process in DEV environment to run every two hours. But in cluster you will specify to run every four hours on both the nodes. In simple explanation, node 1 will fire the process at 0,4,8, ... hours and node 2 will fire at 2, 6, 10, ... hours. So, the result is that your process is still running every two hours.
Hope this will help ...

Cluster environment / OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1

Hi All,
Can anyone give me more information on Clustering
1> Can we make schedulers work in a cluster environment ?
2> Max number of servers in a cluster configuration ?
Thanks
Goutham

The Cluster Server allows up to 16 Oracle BI Servers in a network domain to act as a single server.
Schedulers can also work in a clustered configuration however only one instance will always be active...
Active Scheduler. An active Scheduler is a clustered Oracle BI Scheduler instance which actively processes Scheduler jobs. The Cluster Controller determines the active instance at runtime and notifies the Scheduler cluster of this instance.
Inactive Scheduler. An inactive Scheduler is a clustered Oracle BI Scheduler instance which is not actively processing Scheduler jobs but is ready to take over in the event of an active Scheduler failure. An inactive scheduler is idle at all other times.

TimesTen database in Sun Cluster environment

Hi,
Currently we have our application together with the TimesTen database installed at the customer on two different nodes (running on Sun Solaris 10). The second node acts as a backup to provide failover functionality, although right now only manual failover is supported.
We are now looking into a hot-standby / high availability solution using Sun Cluster software. As understood from the documentation, applications can be 'plugged-in' to the Sun Cluster using Agents to monitor the application. Sun Cluster Agents should be already available for certain applications such as:
# MySQL
# Oracle 9i, 10g (HA and RAC)
# Oracle 9iAS Application Server
# PostgreSQL
(See http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/cluster/faq.jsp#q_19)
Our question is whether Sun Cluster Agents are already (freely) available for TimesTen? If so, where to find them. If not, should we write a specific Agent separately for TimesTen or handle database problems from the application.
Does someone have any experience using TimesTen in a Sun Cluster environment?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, we use 2-way replication, but we don't use cache connect. The replication is created like this on both servers:
create replication MYDB.REPSCHEME
element SERVER01_DS datastore
master MYDB on "SERVER01_REP"
transmit nondurable
subscriber MYDB on "SERVER02_REP"
element SERVER02_DS datastore
master MYDB on "SERVER02_REP"
transmit nondurable
subscriber MYDB on "SERVER01_REP"
store MYDB on "SERVER01_REP"
port 16004
failthreshold 500
store MYDB on "SERVER02_REP"
port 16004
failthreshold 500
The application runs on SERVER01 and is standby on SERVER02. If an invalid state is detected in the application, the application on SERVER01 is stopped and the application on SERVER02 is started.
In addition to this, we want to fail over if the database on the SERVER01 is in invalid state. What should we have monitored by the Clustering Agent to detect an invalid state in TT?

Oracle In Windows Cluster

Hi
We are having a windows cluster environment? I want to add Oracle to this environment. There are a few issues
1) Could we add Oracle standard edition to windows cluster?
Please provide me some document depicting the process to do so.

Fail Safe .... I understand that only one node will be active at any time. When one fails, second node is up and the traffic is routed to the second one.
