Oracle Software Cloning in Windows environment.

I am trying to see if there is an option for cloning the database software (not the database) on to a new windows server, just like the one we can use on Linux/AIX servers and deploy OUI to configure oracle home and other stuff..

Pl post details of OS and database versions. I do not have an y personal experience with cloning on Windows, but have you checked MOS Doc 300062.1 (How To Clone An Existing RDBMS Installation Using OUI) /

Who will install ORACLE software on linux production environment?

Hi Friends,
there is a doubt for me on ORACLE software installation. i.e. who will install ORACLE software on linux production environment. either system admin or else ORACLE DBA.
If DBA means, whether system admin will share the oracle root password.,
If SYS admin means how DBA parameters during installation.

Since every version of Oracle available now (except 11.2) needs patches, a new installation should not create the database right away. Therefore, a software-only install is the most reasonable thing to do. And if no DB configuration parameters are required at s/w-only time, then it makes somewhat sense for the SysAdmin to do the install.
Therefore, it makes sense to me that the two groups (DBA and SA) might want to work ... together. (ROFLMAO)

Hi Kamran,
the reason for cloning the database to other server is virtualization of the production server. the database is temporarily placed in second server. so that no down time for the users.
thanksTo cloning suggestion way is using RMAN.Also you can use User Managed backup and Recovery option.You can perform below steps(your database actually running in archivelog mode and you can take user managed HOT backup)
1). Identify all datafiles from v$datafile.name column.
2) Connect SYS AS SYSDBA and execute ALTER DATABASE BEGIN BACKUP
3) Using OS copy command copy/transfer all data files to other place/server
4) And from sqlplus ALTER DATABASE END BACKUP.
5) ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE AS 'LoCATION' (like 'c:\cont.txt');
Then restore all datafiles(and archivelogs also) to new server and STARTUP NOMOUNT then execute above controlfile recreate script(c:\cont.txt) and execute through sqlplus RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL then apply all available archivelogs then finally ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.

Apple Software Update Server windows environment

Hi,
I've got a Microsoft/Windows environment here at my work, with about 120 cliens on it. Nearly everyone have iTunes installed and 80 of these users have iPhones, rest of them probably have iPods...
My question is:
Is there are Apple server that will allow my Windows clients to "pick up" updates (iTunes & iOS) from that server instead of downloading them from Apple? I want to be able to install the server on my LAN and with this server i want to be able to administrate my clients iTunes version and iOS version on their iphones too, if possible.
I've been trying to search the internet for solutions, but haven't really been able to come up with something.

Is there are Apple server that will allow my Windows clients to "pick up" updates
No. You can use Microsoft's SCCM in conjunction with Quest Managment Extensions

Error after oracle software cloning

Hi all ,
I have a database(10.2.0.5.0) in solaris 10 , i simply take a tar backup of ORACLE_HOME and
extracted them into another server (which is solaris 10 only) and linked the binaries
after that when i connecting with sqlplus i am getting following error

I would like to tell that i have also oracle 11gr2 running on the server
my oracle_base is same for both(10g 11g)
but ORACLE_HOME is different.
please help ??

You probably have some confusion between 32 and 64 bit versions of that file. Get a long listing of the file on each computer to see if they are the same. Sometimes people copy over the file to fix this, sometimes they fix it with links, sometimes it's just messed up in cloning as links become real. See Billy's response: ld.so.1: oracle: fatal: libskgxp10.so: open failed: No such file or directo

What platforms are you using here, for apache/php/oracle client host and the other host where you have sqlplusw.exe?
When having inserted non-ascii characters from sqlplusw, what does the following return
select column, dump(column,1016) from table where ...
After insert from php, what does the same query return?

Remove Oracle client path from windows 2008 64 bit

Hi All,
I had to unstall the epm Hyperion product after i found that installation need to done on a different language, which has oracle client for both 32 and 64 bit. But when i reinstall it is complaining about the oracle home path.
Below is the error i get from the log.
[FATAL] [INS-32053] The original name of the Oracle Home directory specified already exists.
CAUSE: The name of the Oracle home directory Home indicated on the command line corresponded to a name of origin existing Oracle Home directory in the central inventory.
ACTION: Choose another name for Oracle Home directory. Abandon this installation session and try again.
I have made sure that the filesystem is completely is removed after the unstallation except for these client files which i have removed manually.
Looks like the unnstalation doesn't happen correctly for the clients and old path is somewhere still exists. I have removed the client path from environment variable path list and tried again but no luck.
Can anyone help me to identify the places where i need to look to remove the earlier Oracle Home.
Thanks

The registry, perhaps, or the inventory (which is in c:\program files\oracle or c:\program files (x86)\oracle - cannot recall right now).
However, if you search Oracle Support for "windows clean machine," you can find an article that shows you how to remove every trace of Oracle software from your Windows computer.

How to install 2 oracle homes on singl windows host

Hi Experts,
I am planning to install two sap R/3 4.7 ext200 SR1 instances on windows 2003. I already installed DEV instance & planning for QAS.
I am confused about how to install two ORACLE softwares on single windows host.
I search on internet there for windows they are pointing to the registry value
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software\Oracle\inst_loc.
I am not able to understand what I have to do with this ?
Can you please help me to understand & execute this.
Thanks,
Sachin

Sachin,
Go throuth this link to understand more about Oracle Inventory and Oracle Homes software update.
http://cs.ifmo.ru/~ad/Documentation/oracle-10g-lib-doc/em.101/b12140/3_oui_oracle_homes.htm#i1005634
The current entry is picked from the PATH vairable of the system and user that you have logged on. This is because you have already done 1 Oracle Installation on the host.
Keep in mind that you choose the correct oracle home while installing and in future updating Oracle software (patchset, Interim Pactches...)
You can give a seperate path for Oracle Inventory. Just go thru to the existing folder of OraInventory in Program files you will understand it better.
It is used to install and update the Oracle software in the oracle home that you will choose in your next step.
All the Best,
Nilesh

Intel Xeon Windows 64 Bit : Which Oracle software Version?

Hi!
we have Windows Enterprise Server SP2 64 bit with Intel Xeon processor and would like to install the SOLMAN with Oracle.
According to the original Oracle-DVD from SAP there are only three possible choise entries:
a) AMD64
b) IA64
c) I386
But I have the feeeling it should be one choice like "x86" is not?
Which one should we apply?
The I386 can be installed indeed, but we are getting the error during the SAPINST-Installation "Oracle software not installed". I thought this entry was only for 32 bit?
The IA63 Bit can not be installed.
Only the AMD64 we could install. But the question is, whether AMD is the same to Intel Xeon?
Thank you very much for any useful help/comments...
regards

Hi,
You have still a "32-bit" platform ONLY.
1. Intel 64 is not AMD64, they are different. AMD64 implementation is only meant for AMD processors although the family is 64T support, full implementation is NOT done.
2. Your assumption of x86 is correct. You MUST go for I386 option ONLY !!!
3. Error of "Oracle software not installed" is different and you should not relate it to hardware. It is only for the environment variables and registry.. This will happen even in normal case..
Once again, you should NOT use AMD64 and IA64.. Try only with I386 option..
BTW, firstly, whats the reason for you to choose a 64-bit o/s that are meant for 64 - bit Itanium systems... CHoose a operating system that fits and will work with SAP optimally!
You should only choose a 32 Bit Enterprise edition of operating system. Windows Server 2003 R2 well works in your case and should be your choice !!
Finally your combination should be -
1. Windows 32 Bit Enterprise Edition R2 ---> O/s
2. i386 DVD -
> SAP/ Oracle DB
Hope this helps, revert for queries
Cheers,

Oracle client software supported on Windows 7 for Oracle 10

Hi
I am looking for looking to upgrade the Oracle client software (not instant client) to find a version that support Windows 7. We currently use 10.2.0 On XP.
I can only find version 11g downloads but our database server is 10
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win64soft-094461.html
I'm getting the impression Oracle intentionally does not allow older downloads even though they are still supported.
Where can I get a Oracle client software supported on Windows 7 for Oracle 10.
thanks
Paul

I'm getting the impression Oracle intentionally does not allow older downloads even though they are still supported. You need to look at the level of "supported" for 10g. A software company can't support old versions forever, and by limiting the download of those old versions, they limit the number of new support calls for them.

again, since you are concerned with the client software, you should just get the 11g client. It will work fine with your 10g database.

Autosys job scheduler on windows environment ,can oracle support?

Hi,
Intially i am used dbms_scheduler to schedule pl/sql jobs that's working fine,But according to client standards
need to schedule pl/sql jobs using autosys to run on windows, Can Oracle 11g support autosys to schedule pl/sql
jobs run on windows environment(version 5), If so what package oracle package will be used ? How to schedule,
provide me some documentation please.
Thanks in Advance
Ganesh

Dbms_scheduler is a much much much more mature product than any thid party tool.
Also, why schedule PL/SQL outside the database (likely exposing passwords) when it can be done inside the database (without exposing password)
Please ask the client why they want by this 'requirement' to stick to obsolete technology.
They pay for dbms_scheduler, and they don't need autosys
(and yes, I consulted autosys documentation for free on your behalf)
Other than that: your request to provide autosys documentation in an Oracle forum must be judged inappriopriate and points to refusal to do your own research.
