Patching multiple instances from single unzipped patch

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to patch two Oracle Apps instances on two different machines from common shared patch location.
For eg: two instances -ABC on S1 and XYZ on S2 are to be patched. The patch is unzipped in a common,shared location - /stage/<patch_no.>
Can I apply the same patch in the common location /stage , to both ABC and XYZ AT THE SAME TIME?
Thanks,
Sandeep

You can patch from a common NFS mountpoint. If you have different applications users, ensure they are all in the same group, and the staged mountpoint has group write permissions.
This works best on Linux. On Solaris, almost 100% of the time when the patch is more than 1 GB in total size, NFS hangs on the checking file versioning stage of the copy portion. The only way to clear the hung NFS is to reboot the server that is being patched, then restart adpatch. So on Solaris, I normally copy to local filesystem whenever the patch exceeds 1 GB.

Running multiple instances from same oracle home

Hi Gurus,
I am preparing for OCA 11g examination. I had a question about running multiple instances from same oracle home. While reading the book I came across a statement about database control which says "If there are several database instances running off the same Oracle home, then each will have its own Database Control instance".
Now I assume that this statement implies multiple instances accessing the same physical database (which as per my knowledge can happen only in case of a RAC).
I am not able to understand how exactly can you have multiple database instances in a single oracle home. I have installed Oracle 11g on my computer whose oracle home is +"D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1"+; now this directory houses all the binaries (executables and folders like admin,bin, etc) for the oracle instance that I have installed (the instance name is ocp1). Now if I am to install or create another Oracle Instance (say ocp2) in the same home, wont there be a conflict of binaries of the two instances in the same home ?
Basically,it makes sense if db_1 folder is further split into multiple folders, one for each instance (for example, one for ocp1 & one for ocp2); each of these folders will then contain the binary files, libraries,etc for its own instance; but, this is not the case, here db_1 houses all the binaries directly under it ...
The other question which stems from the statement I mentioned above is that if having multiple instances running from same oracle home accessing the same physical database, can this arrangement be called RAC at all; or does RAC dictate that you cannot have multiple instances that are accessing the same database have to be installed on physically separate machines and so you cannot have two RAC instances (accessing same physical database) installed on the same computer ??
I hope my questions are not too much confusing ... !!
Cheers,
Sudripta

Hello,
"If there are several database instances running off the same Oracle home, then each will have its own Database Control instance".This is true, and also means each instance will have its separate database (i.e. dbf files etc.) & separate DB Control. Usually in this case you create several instances on the same node.
Now I assume that this statement implies multiple instances accessing the same physical database (which as per my knowledge can happen only in case of a RAC).You are correct about RAC where several instances (usually running on separate nodes) access the RAC.
More info:
1 Oracle Home - 1 Database - 1 SID is possible.
1 Oracle Home - Many Databases - Many SID is possible.
1 Oracle HOme - 1 Database - Multiple SID is possible and this is called RAC.

Logging into multiple instance using single ID

We have multiple instances of CRM ONDemand and have login ID for each instance. I have a group of users who are users across multiple instances, the problem is they have to login using ID and Password every time they navigate across instances. Is there a way in which this can be simplified.
Eg:
I have 2 countries with different data set and due to nature of business I have to keep the data separate. But I have operational resources who have to access both instances, is there a way in which they can access both instances from single screen.

Hi, For seemless navigation of users across instances you can thing about implementing SSO. But if you like to see data across instances in one single instance, it may not be possible without using webservices

Submitting multiple instance from 1 screen

Hi,
Is there a possibility of submitting multiple instances from a single submit from a screen(jsp/presentation).
I know each instance is visible in the Inbox seperately. But is there any way, that we can display all the instances values in a tabular format and then have a check box to select the instances that we need to submit. We will also have some text box for each row allowing user to update/change some value for an instance?
I know this looks like a complicated requirement, but I guess this might be possible. I am thinking of creating an array of instances and then iterate through that array in the custom JSP to display the values in tabular format.
Any other suggestion would be helpful.
Regards
Right Chord

Sorry - probably just me, but not sure I follow you.
I think this thread concerns hitting multiple instances that already exist in a process.
I could be wrong - frequently am, but I usually think of a Split-N in the context of:
1) when you have a batch of things already in the instance and you want to split into their individual items (e.g. order -> individual order lines) and then rejoin them back into the original context (the order in this example)
2) when you want to dynamically create a committe (created inside the Split-N) of several people that you want to approve (inside an interactive activity assigned to specific participants) and determine how the committee voted (in the Join)
3) when you have a request for quote (e.g. send RFQ's to multiple "suppliers" and then vote for the low cost supplier).

RE: Accessing multiple Env from single Client-PC

Look in the "System Management Guide" under connected environments page
72. This will allow services in your primary environment to find
services in your connected environment. However, there is a bug
reported on this feature which is fixed in 2F4 for the HP and H1 for all
other servers. The following is from Forte:
The connected environments bug that was fixed in 2F4 is #24282. The
problem
was in the nodemgr/name server source code and caused the following to
occur:
Service1 is in connected envs A and B.
Client has env A as primary, B as secondary.
Envmgr A dies before the client has ever made a call to Service1.
Afer env A is gone, client makes a call to Service1 which causes Envmgr
B to
seg fault.
You should upgrade your node manager/env manager nodes to 2F4. The 2F2
development and runtime clients are fully compatible with 2F4 servers.

Subject: Accessing multiple Env from single Client-PC
Hi, All!
Is there anybody has any idea to access multiple environments from
single client-PC? I have to have multiple environments because each
environment resides geographically remote node and network bandwidth,
reliability are not good enough to include all the systems into single
environment.
Using Control Panel for doing this is not easy for those who are not
familiar with Windows. The end-user tend to use just single application
to access all necessary services.
I could consider two option to doing this:
1. Make some DOS batch command file to switch different environment
like, copying back/forward between environment repositories and
set up forte.ini for changing FORTE_NS_ADDRESS. After then, invoke
proper client partition(ftexec).
2. Duplicate necessary services among each environment.
But, these two options have many drawbacks in terms of system
management(option 1), performance(option 2) and others.
Has anybody good idea to implement this? Any suggestion would be
appreciated.

Multiple Hierarchies from Single Dimension Table in OBIEE-11g?

Is it possible to have Multiple Hierarchies from Single Dimension Table in OBIEE-11g?
Like 1)Year-Qtr-Month-Weeks 2)Year-Month-Days

Hi,
or if your lowest level is the same like
Day->month->year->Total
Day->businessMonth->businessyear->Total
Then yes, it is.
Create the first, then you start to create the second by adding your top(business year) level on the same level as the one you have (year) both under your total.
Then when you would add your second base level, there is a special option for it, something like use other hierarchy level/shared level (sorry can't recall and does not have a connection right now) then you select your existing day level under your businessmonth level.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
D

Can we call multiple Smartforms from single Driver Prog?

Hi all,
Can we call multiple smartforms from single Driver Program. Here Driver program is custom Program.
I want to give Print Parameter only once and output should get printed one after the another smartform in same order of smarforms were called.
If yes, then how?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can do this in your Smartform driver program.
Each time you call you Smartform function module you will need to change the values in structure OUTPUT_OPTIONS slightly.
On the first call set TDNEWID to X.
After this, set it to space
On the last form set TDFINAL to X.
This will put all of the output into one spool request, in the order they are called in the program.

Nick

Mask multiple movieclips from single mask

Hi,
h have big movieclip 450X350 and there are many small thumbnails i need to mask those from big movieclip, I need to animate those so that i can't put those in a single movieclip, Is it possible to mask multiple movieclips from single movieclip...?

If you want to mask them using Actionscript then you should be able to place them inside a movieclip/sprite as separate animations/movieclips and then assign the mask to the container.
You can mask multiple layers under one layer if you use the timeline

How to Patch Multiple Instances on same oracle home

Hi All
I Have 4 Instances running on server like below
DEVSTAG /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0
DEVUAT /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0
DEVREVT /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0
DEVREG /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0
i want to Apply the patch set 11.1.0.7.1 to DEVUAT & DEVREVT Instances , Can someone please help .. i dont want this patch set applied to DEVSTAG Instance .. how to exclude that Instance from getting patched ?
Thanks in advance .. hope my requirement is clear.

Which patch are you referring to ? The database patching tool (opatch) generally applies any database patch to an ORACLE_HOME. You will need to follow the instructions in the README of the patch. If you need to only patch one instance, then you will have to create a dedicated ORACLE_HOME for each database (i.e they will not share database executables). If you share ORACLE_HOME amongst multiple instances, then you will have to patch all of them simultaneously.

Log messages from multiple instances in single file.

Hi!
I have a requirement that i need to log messages from muliple instances of the same object in a file. The new file will be created every day. Likewise, multiple objects might have various instances each.
One class
->multiple instances
-> log message stored in single file.
Note :
I am using the Message driven bean. I need to log from the bean class. JDK 1.3
If u could help me out that would be great.

As long as they are all from the same OS program (a single Java VM), that's OK - you can use Log4j, and use a rotating file logger.
If you point two different virtual machine processes at the same file, one may have it open when the other is trying to rotate it, and your rotation may fail (at best) and/or you may lose the old log (the worst case).
If you need to collect log messages from multiple processes (or even multiple machines), use a syslog-based logger (Log4j has a SyslogAppender) or use Log4j's SocketAppender to write to a log4j-builtin log listener (SocketNode).

Multiple instances on single server

Hi all,
I have a Solaris 10 server with 2x dual core CPU's.
I am wondering if it was at all possible to install Business Intelligence Server on this single OS twice? And if it is, can I split the CPU between the different instances?
The reason for this is that I would like both production and test/development installed onto the same OS to cut costs. But I don't want the test/development instance to use resources that would affect the performance of the production environment.
Ideally I'd like the 2 instances, with the production instance using 3 cores, and the test/development instance using 1 core. If the RAM could also be split that'd be great.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers

Yes, you can have multiple instances of Presentation Services (PS) ([see my blog posting for details|http://rnm1978.wordpress.com/2009/08/25/multiple-rpds-on-one-server-part-1-the-bi-server/]) which would let you split envs, but you'd do that with a single instance of BI server. I don't know if it's possible to run multiple BI servers
I don't think you should be trying to do this anyway, several reasons why not:
1) It's not supported to run multiple PS on one server. That should be reason enough not to do this on prod.
2) If it's not possible to run multiple BI Servers on one server then you'd end up running one BI Server with dev/test/prod RPDs - you'd never be able to bounce your BI Server for dev work without taking down prod
3) Any time you needed downtime for dev, you'd affect prod
4) Any patching you wanted to do on dev might affect prod
5) Any experimental work you do that crashes dev would affect prod.
If you only have the one box available to you for costs reasons then you should be looking into virtualisation of some kind, eg http://www.virtualbox.org

These questions show a certain lack of knowledge about Oracle - which immediately says that you also do not know what you are doing ito performance and scalability of a Oracle and that server platform by running multiple instances on it.
In most case, running multiple instances is the wrong thing to do. It degrades performance. It does not and cannot scale. It is an exception to the basic fundamentals of client-server. And not just for Oracle.
You need sound technical justification for running multiple instances on a server. What is yours?

EBS R12 - Multipl Instance using Single Databse ( with Different SID )

Hi,
Is it possible to create Multiple R12 EBS instance (i.e. TEST and DEV ), in to Single Database ( using same database binary ).
Or Can these different EBS instance , configured with Single Database using differant Oralce SID ( means creating Multiple databases with Single binary )
Please guide,
Thanks

Is it possible to create Multiple R12 EBS instance (i.e. TEST and DEV ), in to Single Database ( using same database binary ).No.
Or Can these different EBS instance , configured with Single Database using differant Oralce SID ( means creating Multiple databases with Single binary )No -- Each instance/database should have its own ORACLE_HOME.
