Oracle VM Manager fails without backup data

Dear All,
My Oracle VM Manager fails and lost all data but my Oracle VM Servers and Storage are still running fine, if I install a new Oracle VM Manager and I register my VM Servers again, is it possible the same old Oracle VM Manager?
Please help to give advice,
Thanks and regards,

If so, yes. Just grab the UUID from the existing Manager install in /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/.config and pass it using the -u parameter to runInstaller.sh when you re-install it.

Restore Oracle VM Manager with no backup?

What would be the easiest way to restore/recover VM Manager data if the system it was installed on is unrecoverable and no backup is present?

Thank you so much for your help in solving this problem. Yes this is a 2.2 installation.

Ear deployment thru oracle enterprise manager fails

Hi All,
When I try to deploy a ear thru oracle enterprise manager
gui it fails with the following error
Deployment failed: The configuration files for this Oracle9iAS instance are inconsistent with the configuration stored in the repository. In order to protect the repository, no further configuration or deployment operations are allowed until the problem with the configuration on the filesystem is resolved. This condition arises when a prior operation was unsuccessful. Please check the logs located at ORACLE_HOME/dcm/logs to determine why DCM was unsuccessful in updating the configuration files on disk. Some possible causes are: * permissions on files * file contention issues on Windows NT * EMD and dcmctl running concurrently * internal Oracle error After resolving the problem that prevented DCM from updating the configuration files, you may use the dcmctl resyncInstance command to resolve the problem. Alternatively, you can stop and then restart the active dcmctl or EMD process and resyncInstance will automatically be performed.
I checked the file permissions in the j2ee/home/config directolry, in this directory there is no xml file with read only permissions.
Also I restarted all the services.....but with no luck...
TIA
Swapnil

We had a similar trouble with deployment. Error message was "operation in progress". Restart is not enough, since server holds everything in temporary files and upon restart returns to the same state. Using dcmctl command line utility to deploy we've got some ADMN-2020 message (or something) and error text for this message (got it using again dcmctl, heh) adviced to run "dcmctl ResetFileTransactions". We haven't encountered any other source of solution than this message from dcmctl itself and it was working solution.
But the problem was just similar and we were using file based repository.
Try to run dcmctl to deploy application and read error messages issued by this command line utility. Seems it is used much more for deployment than web front end so it is more usefull.

Importing Certificate in Oracle Wallet Manager fails

Hi,
We are using Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2. When I try to import a certificate issued by a certificate authority, (using Operations > Import User Certificate), the wallet returns the following error:
User certificate installation failed.
Possible errors:
- Input was not a valid certificate
- No matching certificate request was found
- CA certificate needed for certificate chain not found. Please install it first
The certificate is obtained after raising a Certificate Request from the wallet manager.But I am not sure whether we have saved the wallet after raising the certificate request.
Now I have the certificate issued by the CA. Is there any way that I can import this certificate.? what is the possible solution?
Thanks & Regards,
Rafeek.

Did you import CA certificate as a trusted certificate before importing the user certificate. If not, import CA cert first. To make sure you have saved the certificate request, please open the wallet and see if it exists. Hope this helps.

Oracle Enterprise Manager executable failed on restart: nmeo.exe process

Hi all
I installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Windows Server 2003 with default options but a fatal error occurs daily and just after a restart. The error described hereunder occurs each day at the same time that the last restart was done. It seems the Oracle Enterprise Manager failed due to the NetWorker Module process.
The displayed error is a general bug report window, which aims to send data to Microsoft. The title of this crash window is "Oracle Enterprise Manager executable" but the process, which seems to be crashed is "nmeo.exe".
I've tryed to re-install Oracle with several Windows accounts (admin,...) in vain.
This error appears daily two or three times at the same time. How could I fix this issue ?
Thanks in advance for advice

There is also a solution (or rather: a work-around) to this problem listed in Knowledge Browser ID 758338.1 (I will paste the strange looking URL but I know it will work... [look here | https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html#tab=KBHome(page=KBHome&id=()),(page=KBNavigator&id=(bmDocType=PROBLEM&bmDocDsrc=DOCUMENT&bmDocTitle=Windows%20gives%20errors%20on%20nmeo.exe%20in%20the%20application%20event%20viewer%20when%20using%20DB%20Control&from=BOOKMARK&viewingMode=1143&bmDocID=758338.1))] )

"Failed to retrieve data from OVM Manager"

I'm trying to setup Cloud Control 12c Private Cloud environment. My machines in OVM pool have local disks so there is a repository per physical machine, plus one shared repository on NFS (OVM lists all those repositories in its UI)
When I try to navigate to VM Manager->Administration->Storage Repository page here is an error dialog I get:
"Failed to retrieve data from OVM Manager. Please check log file for details"
I've tried performing VM Manager->Synchronize, but that didn't help.
Let me note that I can go to other pages like Administration->Network without any problem.
What is a log file to look into? I tried looking under /u01/app/oracle/Middleware/oms/sysman/log but found nothing useful.

Hi Diptesh,
What is your crystal reports version ? CRXI or higher?
And does your filter bject consists of apostrophie s fields?
If this is the case then this is a known issue try installing the latest service packs or fix packs to see if it resolves the issue?

New Desktop Manager for Mac - backup fails

Each time I try to back up my Curve to my Mac, it fails when backing up "RMS Databases". I have to shutdown the Curve and restart it after each attempt. I'm currently running version 4.5.0.160 (I see there is a newer version, but can't install till I get a good backup).
Has anyone got it to back up a Curve?
Thanks,
Des

Hm.. that is weird. I can backup my "RMS Databases" on my Bold, when I click on Backup, and then choose "Selected data", and check only "RMS Databases".. I'm not sure what that database is, but if it shows that it has 0 records, then you might not have to worry about it.
When you do a full backup, does it say "Backup data completed" though? It would say this at the bottom of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager window.... if it did, then it probably means it backed up everything except that database.
You can confirm by doing a backup, and choose "Selected data", and then check all the databases, except for "RMS Databases"

Oracle Test Manager - Import of Manual Tests - Fails with ORA-12520:

Hi,
This issue occurs when we are trying to import manual tests into the Oracle Test Manager.
The import fails when we try to import more than 300 records. The error message in the log
is as shown below:
Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed
ORA-12520: TNS:listener could not find available handler for requested type of server
9:50:30:020 - *** DB Exception *** State:S1000,Native:12520,Origin:[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]
State:IM006,Native:0,Origin:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager]
State:S1000,Native:12520,Origin:[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]
No one can logon to the application after this.
According to the DBA the application is using up all the processes in the Database and hence it fails.
When we restart the application service, the number of processes in the database goes down
and the application goes back to normal state.
We keep running into this issue when we try to import >=300 manual tests. (This is not an issue
when runs are imported.)
Anybody else facing this issue? Any ideas as to how this can be resolved?
Thanks
Aruna

Hi,
I had some problems with. So, consider the following:
Simple XLS file :
testname     owner     testdescription               Expected Result
test1          wayne     Login into User Homepage     User can view login prompt
               View Accout Details          User can see account details
               Create simple report          User has access to reports section
               Save as pdf               .pdf generate button is available
               send email               email button is active
               log off                    User can View log off page
So we have four fields, teatname,owner,testdescription and Expected Result.
When we import a test (select Test tab, then project->import data, and select .xls file)
Make sure Select Type is set to Manual Tests
Map      testname -> TestCase ID
     owner -> Owner
     testdescription -> Test Step Action
     Expected Result -> Test step expected result
Make sure Select Type is set to Manual Tests. You should then see one test with all the steps.
Regards
Wayne.
p.s. Thanks Alex!!

Schedule Backup on Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g

Hello All,
I am using Oracle enterprise manager 10g for schedule backup, i enter the user and password of operating system (windows XP) in Host Credentials part, but it return this error:
Connection to host as user khazaei failed: IOException in sending Request :: Connection refused: connect
khazaei is my windows username ,
any one can help me?
thanks in advance,
Hamzeh Khazaei

You need to add khazaei to the Local Security Policy "Logon as Batch Job". if you have already done so and you have logged on to a Domain, then add the domain to the username. e.g domain_name\khazaei.
BTW - you can get faster response to this issue in the EM forum

Backup database without the data

i have several questions.
i have a typical database with many schema, can the objects, such as view, sequence function, etc, be backup by itself?
secondly, can objects such as table be backup with schema only and no data with it?
third, what is the way to create a minimal backup to backup the existing database, the control files, index defination, pfiles, oracle binary, and etc, with no data in the table of the backup.
yes. i basically like to backup and recreate the objects inside of the schema without any data in the table, because the table has way more data than a tape to handle and i can't get new disk this year.
thanks.
Edited by: user1035690 on May 14, 2010 6:32 PM

To create a non-data backup of your schemas, you will need to utilize exp or expdp. Check expdp or exp.
Sounds like you want a text backup of the controlfile, therefore you can issue the following:
SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace;And to create a backup of a pfile, you can simply copy the file.

How do I get my data from Sync account after I reformat my computers without backup favourites?

Hello,
I formatted my computer without backup all of my favourites in Firefox. I have Firefox sync account set up before that between the 2 computers but both of them have formatted. Now, how do I get the data out from my Sync account? Did Firefox save my data on their server and how can I check that?
Thanks,

Also:
*If you have regenerated your Sync key or reset your Sync password, you can not recover your previous data
*IMPORTANT - write down your Sync key as instructed in the original set up of Sync
*if you have another device (computer or mobile) paired to the computer where you are having a problem, you can either:
*#pair the problem computer to that other device
*#get the Sync key from that other device
'''<u>Remember</u>''', Sync was never intended for backup. The reason for its existence is to sync-up 2 devices. To back up your Firefox profile, which you should do frequently, to another drive or a pin/thumb drive or other backup media, see:

How to backup data when hard drive is failing.

I think my hard drive is failing..
I booted using Install DVD, and got message in Disc Utility that "this drive has a hardware problem that can't be repaired." It mentioned I should backup data and consult apple representative..
I clicked on Macintosh HD under the red physical drive (500.11 GB Hitachi HTS) and did disc repair.
Strangely, the message went away on the physical drive when I finished. It turned back to black wording and gave green "verified/repaired" messages in the log.
I am still able to boot my macbook, although everything is running slowly... Desktop excel files take 15 mins to open.
Does this still sound like a failing hard drive?
I am trying to act fast and borrowed my sister's external harddrive/ "passport for mac", and it slowly prompted a time machine backup. It is slowly working through "8.34GB of 200.33GB"
I do not really understand what I am doing, but hoping this is the right move. Could someone explain what time machine will do or how it will help?
Is there any chance I will harm her external hd?
I am mostly worried about iPhoto and itunes library, iMovie projects,and important excel spreadsheets on my desktop. Is time machine looking after these concerns?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Where is you TM backup?
Where are your external data redundancies?
Now you will need to use very expensive data recovery experts to recover data when you could have had it safely on a $100 worth of 2 external HD.
Mechanical HD failure circumvents using recovery software.......so, now you backed yourself into a corner and needed expensive data expert recovery.
You took a wrong turn a long while back before reaching this cliff edge.
that wrong term was not having (preferably 2) external HD as a redundant data archive.

Error while creating data source using Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g

Hi,
I have deployed my web application developed on OC4J 9.0.4 stand alone (Win2K) to an integrated OC4J version(Solaris) using Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g.
However, I get an error when I try to create a data source.
The data source I want to create would have the following parameters (as seen in data-sources.xml on the stand alone version):
     <data-source
          class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
          name="TestDS"
          location="jdbc/OracleCoreDS"
          xa-location="jdbc/xa/OracleXADS"
          ejb-location="jdbc/TestDS"
          connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
          url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostName:1521:test"
          username="user"
          password="password"
          min-connections="5"
          max-connections="20"
          inactivity-timeout="30"
     />
When I entered the above data on the Enterprise Manager Data Sources page, I got the following error:
quote:
Error saving Data Source Properties. - Entity et="system";ei="0",et="application";ei="48",et="data-sources";ei="167":child:data-sourcechild key:location:jdbc/OracleCoreDS; class:com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource; already exists in the repository. Resolution: Please check the code base.
unquote:
Could somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
I tried to manually edit the data-sources.xml file but the data source didn't show up on the Enterprise Manager.
I'm using a new OC4J instance (on the Solaris machine) for my applications. Is the data source error related to this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shyam

Thanks for your reply , Steve.
I noticed that there is a default datasouce on the EM with the following parameters:
<data-source
          class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
          name="OracleDS"
          location="jdbc/OracleCoreDS"
          xa-location="jdbc/xa/OracleXADS"
          ejb-location="jdbc/OracleDS"
          connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
          username="scott"
          password="->pwForScott"
          url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:oracle"
          inactivity-timeout="30"
     />
The location and xa-location attributes that I use for my "test" data source are the same as the default one. So, could this be the issue?
What should be the values for location and xa-location attributes from my "test" data source?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shyam
