Oracle Installation for Production Environment.

Hi All,
We need to install Oracle in our production environment.
But since there is no DBA in our project, we need to do it by ourself.
I was just wondering what all steps and cautions I need to take to install it.
I was told just double click on Setup.exe :-) and that would suffice.
I am pretty sure its not that easy, atleast for a production environment.
We might need to set some params, may be.
We are at present using Oracle 10g Rel 1.
Any help/suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Tanuja

Well, it does more complicate than a double click of setup.exe, especially for a production database.
It's not only about the installation, also think about how do you want to create your database, the storage configuration, database configuration, and backup/recover strategy etc.
For installation, make sure you follow Oracle installation guide,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10130_02/toc.htm
And there are many other document here

OEPE installation for production server

Does Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) is required for WebLogic server installation (SOA 11g) for production environment ?
Or this is needed only when you need to develop some some SOA stuff ..

I got the answer that this is needed for OSB 11g.

Is vmware supported for production environment ?

Hi All,
Is vmware supported for production environment ?
Thanks
Sunny

All,
I'm glad someone has outlined the clear support statement that has existed for sometime between VMware - SAP. For those of you still running on Oracle, here is some good news:
Wording towards SAP Customers requesting support:
"Oracle, VMware and SAP are working collaboratively to ensure support for SAP customers that use VMware virtualization for SAP solutions running Oracle DB. Functional tests are currently being performed to verify supportability of the SAP&Oracle stack. Details will be made available in SAP note 1173954 u201CSupport of Oracle for VMwareu201D after tests have been completed. It is expected that in Q1 2010, ESX 3.5 and later releases including vSphere 4 will be supported by Oracle and SAP according to Oracleu2019s metalink note 249212."
There is no reason why x86 platform today cannot run the most demanding workloads on VMware vSphere in a production environment. But has noted earlier, don't get hung up on "production" - you have heaps of TestDev, SolMan TestDev, sandboxes, gateways, application servers etc that should immediately by put into a VM - once you are comfortable with your solution in-house, I'm sure you will move production instances into a VM as well.

Patching strategy for Production environment

Hi all,
Can anyone share their patch strategy specially for production environment?? We have production environment and we are planning to patch our databases using PSU pacthes with no downtime. Our production environment has standby. We have one option that we can make standby to primary. Is there any other options that we can use??? Also we are not using Grid control.
Thanks

Hi there,
In 11gR2 onwards it is possible to patch without downtime using a physical standby database (converts to transient logical standby). Please look at the document below. There is a script on Metalink as well which makes this all much easier.

I can deploy Oracle XE for production in the Web?

I can deploy Oracle XE for production on web site with support for 100 users or more?

I run Oracle 10g XE on a home computer with 2GB of memory, and when I have a web browser, email, and SQL Developer open I am using more than 1GB of memory. If you're running Microsoft Office and other software on this machine while multiple users are accessing the database, my guess is that you're running out of physical memory and the operating system is running on swap/pagefile space (using the hard disk to emulate physical memory, which is extremely slow in comparison).
You could take a look at this by opening the Windows Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC), watching the graphs/numbers in the Performance tab, and seeing if the "Commit Charge" number at the bottom is exceeding the amount of physical memory you have installed (check by viewing System Properties: WINKEY+BREAK).
My suggestion is, at the least, to run the XE database on a standalone PC/server (probably one with better CPU than a Celeron, which doesn't have much CPU cache), and make sure all the switches in your workplace are running at 100Mbps or 1Gbps speed, so that users pulling large datasets will have decent response times.

Unzip nt817personal.zip into a directory.
When I tried to open it does not open in ZIP file.
Asking me to download again ...
Whats going on??
Thanks for any response.

Well, the 10g problem seems pretty straightforward. You need 45 Mb of free disk space, but you only have 30 Mb free. You'll need to free up some space or move your TEMP directory.
After you install JRE version 1.3.1, what error does the 9i installer throw?

Is standalone OC4J scalable for production environment

Hi,
Can our team use an OC4J standalone (a cluster perhaps) to deliver Web applications on a production environment?
The Web app comprises JSPs and Servlets only at the moment, in future we are considering EJBs and other J2EE components.
Will standalone OC4J scale well and is performance good enough for real world applications?
Thank you
Llies Meridja

OC4J standalone is the exact same code that is packaged inside of Oracle9iAS so will have the same characteristics of Oracle9iAS. The benchmarks that Oracle markets with the ECPerf and SpecJAppServer is same thing ... so you should have no issues with performance etc.
You might have seen that we recently released a Java Edition of Oracle9iAS, which focuses primarily on the Java features rather than the extended features like Portal, Wireless etc. If you look at this URL, you will see the feature set comparison of this minimal Java version compared to the other versions:
http://www.oracle.com/ip/deploy/ias/index.html?pkgsum.html
Further, as I understand it, as long as you license one of the Java Edition, Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition, you will be supported running the corresponding instance stand-alone instance of OC4J if you want to work outside of the out-of-the-box framework which Oracle9iAS provides for OC4J instances to run in.

EnterpriseOne Client Installation (for production)

Hi,
I would like to install EnterpriseOne Client on my desktop for production support (like changing menus, deploying packages). I have already ran setup from the shared folder of E812 (from deployment server) to install client on my desktop for development.
Can someone please guide me how can I install production client on my desktop, I am afraid not interfere the production installation of deployment server. I just need the client on my desktop so that I can connect to E1 production and change the menus (I need to add some tasks under existing menus in production).
Thanks
Muhammad

You have not yet clearly stated why you require a client, or what the client OS is
For Win 32, see Oracle Database 11g Release 2 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
For Win 64, see Oracle Database 11g Release 2 for Microsoft Windows (x64)
Also, Instant Client could be an option - Instant Client Downloads

Topology for production environment

this question is related to production environment deployment and clustering.
we have 1 physical server where we have webcenter domain. this domain has 1 admin server and 1 managed server (custom web center portal managed server).
our plan is to deploy our application on this managed server.
this is no clustered environment and not recommended (no failover, no load balancing).
what shall we do?
shall we create another managed server (custom web center portal managed server) and deploy our application on these 2 managed servers? there will be a load balancer in front to take care of transferring request to both the servers...
what's your suggestions?
please note that i know specific answer will depend on NFR (user load, performance etc) but i am looking for general guidance and reference around same like -
how many managed server recommended?
what kind of topology recommended for web center application?
etc
thanks.

I'd recommend you to start with this document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/cluster/overview.html as a lot of this question is related to Weblogic clustering than WebCenter.
Note that whilst clustering has many pros, it has also few cons; among those:
- you might require additional hardware/software, or used components (like filesystem) will have to have features that you don't need in a non-clustered environment
- though small, scaling does consume some resources (I've heard that WebCenter Content takes 1-2% of Solaris, but up-to 25% on Windows Servers!)
- it's always at least a bit more expensive
Therefore, you should not go for a cluster, because it's cool, but because you have damn good reasons for that (that you didn't mention!), stemming from SLAs, or requirements for Disaster Recovery.
You write that you have just one physical server, so you already have one potential single point of failure.
I think I've heard that Weblogic Server itself is capable of self-recovery; this means, that a server may go down (you will lose all the current sessions), but is capable of auto-recovery. If your users survive that from time to time they will lose uncommitted work, then maybe a need for clustering (HA) won't be that strong (you might also go just for tuning your Weblogic Server).
On the other hand, where clustering might be necessary, if you need to scale, especially, if you need cloud-like increase/decrease of resources. I doubt it is possible to say up-front how many servers is recommended, but you may tune this later - whilst going from 1 node to 2 is relatively a big leap, going from 2 to 3, or 3 to 4 is then quite easy.
Either way, I'd recommend you to be in sync with your app server admin.thanks jiri. this was helpful.
while i agree that any architectural decision should be justifiable to requirements but as far as my experience goes clustering is basic thing in any production environment... in case 1 managed server goes down, other can still serve requests...
i'll read link provided by you and ask specific questions if any...
thanks.

Install 11gR2 on Linux 6 with ASM for production environment ?

Hi Experts
Plz I hope someone could help me, I am planning to Install Oracle 11g R2(11.2.0.3)
on Oracle Linux 6 with ASM for a production environment.
My doubt is: Is it a stable combination ? someone has experience working with this version ? is there some Oracle documents to support this implementation on Production ?
I have been installing and working with 11g R2 on Oracle Linux 5 (5.7,5.8) with ASM for some time and I didn’t have problems, it’s very stable combination
My situation is this: Our client insist on use Oracle Linux 6 on a new Oracle implementation, even when we told her Oracle Linux 5 its Very stable, so that’s why I am asking for some advice, because it’s a production environment 7x24.
Thank you for your time and advice

If you have installed it before but only a lower OS version, you know how to install it, no differences between 5.7-5.8 and 6.

Best Practice for Production environment

Hello everyone,
can someone share the best practice for a production environment? or is there a SAP standard best practice to follow in a Production landscape?
i understand there are Best practices available for Implementation , Migration and upgrade. But, i was unable to find one for productive landscape
thanks.

Hi Siva,
What best practise are you looking for ? If you can be specific on your question we could provide appropriate response.
From my basis experience some of the best practices.
1) Productive landscape should have high availability to business. For this you may setup DR or HA or both.
2) It should have backup configured for which restore has been already tested
3) It should have all the monitoring setup viz application, OS and DB
4) Productive client should not be modifiable
5) Users in Production landscape should have appropriate authorization based on SOD. There should not be any SOD conflicts
6) Transport to Production should be highly controlled. Any transport to Production should be moved only with appropriate Change Board approvals.
7) Relevant Database and OS security parameters should be tested before golive and enabled
8) Pre-Golive , Post Golive should have been performed on Production system
9) EWA should be configured atleast for Production system
10) Production system availability using DR should have been tested
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Deepak Kori

Oracle 11g for production

Hi,
I have download oracle 11g for linux.
We have one to create a new database for one of our production system.
Shall I create the database on 11g or wait for some time.(we have tested the application on 10g)
Regards
MMU

Hans and I seem to be giving the same advice here.
The point I was trying to make was to be careful.
There are probably more important things to consider
rather than acting on the urge for the latest and
greatest technology piece.Yes. Perhaps different phrases meaning the same thing help a person understand better,.
After all, the biggest part of an upgrade process is 'understanding risk' and the biggest part of the DBAs job in production is 'mitigating risk'. For Risk Management, the more perspectives, the better.
That is really our job in a nutshell. And that may be why we often have challenges with developer's - their job is to get new capabilities and due to their time pressures they may not be looking at risks the same way. (Just look at how much exception handling the typical developer does.)

Container classes generation for production environment

You can run the WebLogic EJB compiler on the JAR file before you deploy the beans,
or you can let WebLogic Server run the compiler for you at deployment time.
I have to release :
- an ear, containing 1 ejb and other stuff
- a client-jar (delegate, remote, home), that will be included in another ear (client
application of our ejb).
Both the ear will be deployed on the same wl instance (6.1sp2) (production environment).
For a production environment, which are the pros and contras ?
(not considering deploy time differences on wlserver, of course).
Which is the best practice ? Is it suggested to release the ear with the container
classes already generated (run ejbc before) or delegate the generation to weblogic
server ?
Thanks in advance
Sergi
