Oracle RAC and Standard Edition 11g R2

Hi,
Our application is tested with Oracle 11g r2 enterprise edition on RAC (inhouse).
A customer is asking whether he can use Oracle 11g r2 standard edition on RAC.
I need a gut feel on this, as our application does not use any of the enterprise edition features. Also our application has been successfully tested with oracle 11g r2 standard edition on single instance.
This is a big account and i need reliable answer.
Thanks in advance,
Krishna

Hello,
Yes, it is possible to have Oracle RAC with 11gR2 standard edition.
You can take a look at this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/editions.htm

Oracle RAC and Standards

Does anyone know if Oracle RAC is part of any emerging Grid standards?

Hi Eric
Isn't RAC a middle to reach the grid computing goals ?

Difference between Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition for Oracle RAC

Hi,
In our current setup we have RAC on standard edition and client is now planning to go for Enterprise Edition but not yet decide because of cost.
Is there any difference between Grid Infrastructure 11gR3 Enterprise edition and Standard Edition ?
They told me to first install Enterprise Edition and then will move to Standard Edition if they can't get the EE license so in that case do i have to re-install Grid infrastructure for standard edition?

Chirag

There is no "Grid Infrastructure 11gR3 Enterprise edition and Standard Edition", is only Grid Infrastructure 11gR2.

Retore a backup from RAC to Standard Edition

Hi,
We have a production environment with a 2 nodes RAC 11g.
This environment is secured with a RMAN backup startegy.
Could we restore the backup to a single node Oracle Standard Edition 11g database?
Best regards,
Sébastien

So I would be careful, this metalink has a list of differences between EE and SE:

If you use EE options and features, you cannot have these in the restored SE instance.

How to Read Statspack Report in Oracle 11.2g Standard Edition

Dear All,
I am using Oracle 11.2g Standard Edition in Lab.
For the performance tuning, How can i read the Statspack Report ?
Please Note- I can't use the Oracle AWR feature due to License Limitation. As well as if i will generate AWR report with Oracle Standard Edition, it will be not proper and print error " DB time is zero for any interval Report.

Hi Summit,
In oracle 11g you will be finding the spcreate.sql script in the same directory as hemant said just run that script
@@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/spcreate.sql
And follow the normal procedure which you do for creating the statspack report using the perfstat user
can you please refer to below link for more details:
stack pack report in oracle 11g
Also see the link given by Aman sir.
Hi Aman sir its good to see you after long time.

Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0

Hello,
Maybe you can help me (new on RMAN backup) in doing this.
I have configured a single Oracle 10g database to have backup with RMAN with following steps:
1. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/rman_scripts
2. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/logs
3. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/tracking
4. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/c_backup
5. $ sqlplus sys/<password> as sysdba
6. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size = 50G scope=both;
7. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='${ ORACLE_BASE}/flash_recovery_ area' scope=both;
8. SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_10='location= use_db_recovery_file_dest';
9. SQL> shutdown immediate
10. SQL> startup nomount
11. SQL> alter database archivelog;
12. SQL> alter database open;
13. SQL> alter database enable block change tracking using file '${ORACLE_BASE}/tracking/rman_ change_track.f';
14. $ rman target /
15. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK

16. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
17. RMAN> CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
18. RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
19. RMAN> exit
I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
I have following questions:
1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
=============================================================================================
2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
=============================================================================================
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ORACLE_SID=orcl
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/10.2.0/db_1
PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/usr/bin
LOGDIR=${ORACLE_BASE}/logs
LOGFILE=${LOGDIR}/rman.log
if [[ $# < 1 ]]
then
echo "usage: backup.sh FULL|INCREMENTAL"
exit;
fi
BACKUPTYPE=${1}
full='FULL'
incremental='INCREMENTAL'
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $full ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
echo ''
fi
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $incremental ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
backup incremental level 1 database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
echo ''
fi

Hi [email protected],
Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
A3) No see A2.

Tycho

Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition 1 download?

Hi,
Apologies in advance if this is a daft question but could someone point me in the direction of the download link for Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition 1 11G for Windows 64bit?
The white paper below dated 2010 eludes to there being an 11g version of this software but the download site only has 10g:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obi-se1-11g-wp-187262.pdf
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/101321biseone-095993.html
I downloaded the Enterprise edition 11g in the vain hope that the installer would have an option for installing standard edition 1, which it didn't.
This is a stupid problem to have but a problem nonetheless.
All help gratefully received.
David.

Am I correct in saying that the Simple Install is Standard Edition 1? It doesn't say that anywhere (unless I'm missing it).Simple install is like a standard installation, less input is required from you.
Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition 10g docs/downloads can be found at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-standard-edition/downloads/index.html
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-standard-edition/overview/index.html
From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obi-se1-11g-wp-187262.pdf you can see the following:
The 10g version of BI SE One included a special installer and documentation tailored to the specific components that were available in 10g. For the 11g version of BI products, Oracle does not plan to release a special installer for BI SE One.
Thanks,
Hussein

Manual standby Oracle 11.1 standard edition

I have set up a standby DB for Oracle 11.1 standard edition.
Everything is done manually by using batchfiles and scripts.
Logiles are copied from the primary server to the standby server but when I try to register those I get an error ORA-00439: featue not enabled : managed standby
Do I need enterprise edition for this ? I thoguht it was possible to set up a physical standby if you do the logshipping yourself without using data guard.

Yes I know data guard is only available in Enterprise edition.
Hence I scripted the whole process and copy the archive logs myself.
So this means that doing this manually also won't work since it won't let me register the logfiles. I have done this in Oracle 10 standard edition. Guess my customer will need Enterprise version as from V11 then...

Standby db-EE edition and Standard edition

Dear friends,
10g on solaris 10.
What are the differences in standby db when using a enterprise edition and standard edition ?..
Any input will be of great help
Kai

Niall and team
I have read your presentation - "You Probably Don't need dataguard" and I tried it out on test database. I setup a manual standby database, archivelog is manually copied to standby db.
Maybe you have an idea on regarding SCN or archivelog that is not present but Oracle is asking/suggestion during recovery procedure..
environment:
2 virtual box - Solaris 10 Virtual Machine host on Windows XP
Oracle 10.2.0 Standard Edition
Primary DB host name: SE
Standby DB host name: SE2
archive dest = /export/home/oracle/archive (same on both machine)
db file = /export/home/oracle/oradata/se , /export/home/oracle/oradata/se2 --> so I used db_file convert parameter in init.ora
Steps:
On the newly created database, create a test table and insert values.
SQL> create table test(a number) tablespace users;
Table created.
SQL> insert into test values(&a);
Enter value for a: 1
old 1: insert into test values(&a)
new 1: insert into test values(1)
1 row created.
SQL> /
Enter value for a: 21
old 1: insert into test values(&a)
new 1: insert into test values(21)
1 row created.
SQL> /
Enter value for a: 31
old 1: insert into test values(&a)
new 1: insert into test values(31)
1 row created.
SQL> /
Enter value for a: 41
old 1: insert into test values(&a)
new 1: insert into test values(41)
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> alter system archive log current;
System altered.
SQL>

total 41808
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 21378048 Feb 24 15:52 1_2_711819574.dbf
$
Again, insert some values to test table,
SQL> insert into test values(&a);
Enter value for a: 33
old 1: insert into test values(&a)
new 1: insert into test values(33)
1 row created.
SQL> /
Enter value for a: 44
old 1: insert into test values(&a)
new 1: insert into test values(44)
1 row created.
SQL> /
Enter value for a: 55
old 1: insert into test values(&a)
new 1: insert into test values(55)
1 row created.
SQL> /
Enter value for a: 11
old 1: insert into test values(&a)
new 1: insert into test values(11)

OK, that means that archive log 5 and archivelog 6 are applied to STBY database.
Question. Why Oracle is asking the arc 7 , is it correct to say that last SCN is based on arc 5 and arc 6. Or is it Oracle behavior to ask the "next" SCN, after the arc 6. when performing recovery? ... that's why we have CANCEL.
Appreciate your response on this..
Thanks..

on SE2, we will put it on "recovery mode"

Need to understand basics of Oracle RAC and Grid technology, for training

I need to understand Oracle RAC and Grid infrastructure, from a manager's / training perspective.
I see links here and here, so a couple questions:
- what's the basic difference from a layman's (e.g., a manager's) perspective ?
- What training options are available for a generic 11g DBA to learn this new technology ? I've seen this course from an Oracle partner ("Course:Oracle 11g: RAC and Grid Infrastructure Administration Accelerated Release 2"), for a boat load of money, for 5 days I think. So we're looking for something a little more reasonable (and accessible), e.g., books, online, etc.

For a very basic definition, RAC is technology that is used by the database and GI is the infrastructure that makes RAC work. In a forum reply, that's probably all what can be said about both. For a very lengthy answer, you should read the links that you have quoted.
For #2, the course that you are looking at is called Accelerated as it combines two courses in a single week training-RAC(4) and GI(3). So it's a 7 day curriculum that one would be doing in a 5 day course and that should justify its cost. But let me say, it's a really really good course. But on the other side, it can be quite overwhelming for someone who doesn't know about these technologies already. So I shall suggest that you send your team to each course individually and probably after doing some homework . They can start reading the following books,
Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux
https://www.mheducation.co.in/html/9781259004063.html
And this doc link,

Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition

Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition Suitable for medium sized organization. Actually it supports how many no of concurrent connection, workload??

Yes, it is suitable for, and is used in many medium sized organizations. It supports as many concurrent connections as possible until the operating system starts paging or swapping. At which time it slows down. I personally have seen it handle 125 concurrent connections.
You question is like asking 'will a Pentium 4 CPU handle Microsoft Powerpoint?'. And the answer is 'yes, of course'. But what about when you want to run video clips in Powerpoint?
There is no accurate way of answering your question without understanding the exact workload you plan on generating.

Is Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One available for purchase?

Is Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One available for purchase? I don't see it listed in the online Oracle store as available.
More information about this version of OAS can be found at http://www.oracle.com/appserver/feature_seone.html Would like to know
1) when it will be available
2) the differences between this version and OAS standard edition.
Thanks
Dev

Yes,
Oracle Linux 5.5 is actually inline with the related version of Red Hat linux as it runs on the same kernel.
So, yes, it is certified on this environment.
Also remember that OBIE Standard Edition is functionally the same ast OBIE Entprise Edition, the core difference are the licensing limitations of the Standard Edition which is based on the # of end-users.
Please award points if this was helpful.

SDK support in Pro and Standard editions.

Hi,
I want to convert PDF file into DOCX programatically. I have written the code using Acrobat SDK and tried with Acrobat X Pro trial version, and it works fine. I just want to confirm whether Acrobat X Standard edition supports exporting PDF to DOCX via SDK? and whether my code will work in Standard edition.
Also, want to know whether there are any differences between Pro and Standard editions in terms of SDK support.
With regards,
Pinakin Purandare

Hi,
Apologies for missing the code.
Below is the code:
            AcroPDDoc pdDocument = new AcroPDDocClass();
            if (pdDocument != null)
                try
                    // Open PDF file.
                    result = pdDocument.Open(location);
                    if (result)
                        // If PDF file is opened then get the docx file name.
                        string docxFileName = string.Concat(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(location), ".docx");
                        docxFileName = Path.Combine(Path.GetFullPath(tempPath), docxFileName);
                        try
                            object jsObject = pdDocument.GetJSObject();
                            Type type = jsObject.GetType();
                            type.InvokeMember("saveAs", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, jsObject,
                                new object[] { docxFileName, "com.adobe.acrobat.docx" });
                        finally
                            pdDocument.Close();
                            pdDocument = null;
                finally
                    pdDocument = null;
I have gone through the feature list of Standard edition on Acrobat site and it mentions that it has feature of exporting it to Word. But since I was not able to find trial version of standard version, I am not able to test the code.
I want to make the decision on buying the edition based on the export to DOCX feature programatically. Hence wanted to confirm.
With regards,
Pinakin Purandare
