Pointing OIM to new Database

Hi
I have OIM Instance which does trusted and target recon as well as provisioning to target apps.
I want to change OIM DB from one machine to another, and I need to point OIM Server to new Database.
I have seen the article 434473.1 in metalink and want to know what other steps I need to perform to contain the same data as in old DB.
Do I need to take export from old DB and import it into new DB?
Does the change of DB affect users provisioning and reconciliation?
please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks in Advance

If you can restore the entire database from one instance to another, you have that as an option. You can also re-run the prepare script on your new database, or create the new schema as appropriately with the same name. Then export from old database and import into new one. Then you will need to change the jdbc entries in your xlconfig.xml file, as well as update the jdbc resources in your application server. This should let you move your database. Although, if you use hostnames, you could just have your DNS server map to the new address and then maybe you wouldn't have to change a thing.

SOA 10.1.3.5 - cloning and pointing to a new database

We plan to move a web application to a new server and here is the information:
The front-end is SOA suite 10.1.3.5; application was built with Jdeveloper and ADF; BPEL process Manager is not used; Enterprise Service Bus is not used.
the backend is a Oracle database.
Old server: Windows server 2003, currently hosting SOA and the database;
New server: Windows server 2008.
We need to move both front-end and back-end to the new server. I know how to move the database.
I would like to know if either of the following is possible:
1. Clone SOA suite to the new server, and let it point to the new database on the server;
2. Install SOA 10.1.3.1 on the new server, and upgrade it to 10.1.3.5. Then move the deployed instance from the old server to the new one, and point it to the new database.
I have read chapter 9 of SOA administrator guide, but not sure if the cloned instance can point to the new database. Please help. Thank you!

How to restore backup files to a new database?

Hello all,
Our database has stopped working because many config files and some control files were deleted or changed! You can see the full discussion here: ORA-01034 - Oracle not availabe
We are using Oracle 11g. We got some comprehensive backup files and some incremental ones before this failure.
Do these backup files contain config and control files too? or just contains data?
And how I can recover the database using them?
Thanks for your help

Thank you so much for your attention.
Yes exactly, I installed oracle on my laptop and copped its control files into the database and they didn't work
1- Many backup files of level 0 and level 1. They've been created using these rman commands:
echo database backup, level 1
echo %DATE%
echo %TIME%
set datetimef=%date:~-4%_%date:~4,2%_%date:~7,2%_%time:~0,2%_%time:~3,2%_%time:~6,2%
echo %datetimef%
rman target / @F:\backup1.txt LOG F:\database-backup\rman-logs\%datetimef%.txt
copy F:\database-backup\rman-logs\%datetimef%.txt F:\database-backup\rman-logs\current-log.txt
and
echo database backup, level 0
echo %DATE%
echo %TIME%
set datetimef=%date:~-4%_%date:~4,2%_%date:~7,2%_%time:~0,2%_%time:~3,2%_%time:~6,2%
echo %datetimef%
rman target / @F:\backup0.txt LOG F:\database-backup\rman-logs\%datetimef%.txt
copy F:\database-backup\rman-logs\%datetimef%.txt F:\database-backup\rman-logs\current-log.txt
What have you done before getting "Oracle not available" message?
One of group members tried to create a new database using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant and then she couldn't work with the new database (I guess she got some errors when she decided to connect to it using sqldeveloper) and then she deleted the new database using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, and in the last part it asked her Do you want to delete everything related to the new database and she answered yes.
What have you done after getting "Oracle not available" message?
After that we get Oracle Not Available. When I tried to connect to the Oracle via SQLPlus (startup command) it told me that init file does not exist and I recreate that file and put in the right place, then checked some files located in the D:\app\Administrator\admin\iwatchdb\scripts and D:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_5\NETWORK\ADMIN. Almost in all of that SID and addresses were changed and pointed to the new database, I just alter them and replaced the Yelp (the name of the new database) with iwatchdb (our main database). So the first error solved, and when I tried to start the database up it told me that control files do not exist! and I checked the address that sqlplus showd in the error and it was right! the control files were deleted from: D:\app\Administrator\oradata\iwatchdb (CONTROL01.CTL) and D:\app\Administrator\flash_recovery_area\iwatchdb (CONTROL02.CTL)
- What is the latest error you get in the alert.log file?
do you mean this file? D:\app\Administrator\diag\rdbms\iwatchdb\iwatchdb\alert\log.xml
These are the latest ones:

Migrating HP SIM related databases to a new database server

Greetings,
I'm working on a migration task for our HP SIM to a new database server (the application and services will reside on the original server).
Migrating the Insight_v50_0_xxx database and redirecting the server to point the the new database was no problem and HP SIM runs along just fine.
There are still some related databases that I haven't moved yet, and I've searched all over the web to get some documentation on the matter, but found none.
The databases and related services are the following.
PMP_V5_0 - PMP Services
hpvmmsqldb - Virtual Machine Management
I guess I could do like I did with the Insight_v50_0_xxx , take a backup and restore it on the new server and then change the configuration files to point to the new one. The big issue is that I can't seem to find any configuration files for these services.
Also I've run into something called mx services, and the same here. I have no idea where these points.
Any HP SIM savvy technician out there that think they can help me out?
1. Product: HP SIM and related services
2. Operating System: Windows Server 2008 R2
Best regards,
Karl

Old topic but in case someone is searching...
PMP database uses an ODBC connection. Easy to reconfigure.
HPVMMDB uses a JDBC configuration file in the \Program Files\HP\Insight Control Virtual Machine Management\Bin folder called hpvmmdb.conf.

New database connection failed with oepe

Hi everybody,
@http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27086_02/help/oracle.eclipse.tools.common.doc/html/install.html#install_oepe
Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse Installation Guide says:
"You can install OEPE using any of the following ways:
Download, and then unzip OEPE plugins directly into the Eclipse dropins folder and restart Eclipse."
This is what I have done,
then when I create a new database connection, and I press the button "test connection" i got a pop up saying "Ping failed" giving details:

Did I miss something?

The documentation is out of date. The unzip to dropins method is no longer supported. The OEPE zip you downloaded is actually an archived repository. You can follow the instruction for installing using Eclipse Update Manager and point to the downloaded zip instead of the online repository.
I will follow up to get the docs updated.

Create a new Database in an other server using a copie of RMAN backup

Hi all,
I want to create an other instance for our production database. We have disk and tape in rman backup. My question is can i create a new database using our disk backup in an other server?
If some procedure or steps is there, email it to my adresse [email protected]
Hamid.
Thanks

By means of the use of Recovery Manager it is possible to duplicate a database out from a previously taken rman backup. The method will be outlined in the next few lines.
Let's assume a source database named SRCDB and the target database, named GEMINI. A unix like environment is assumed, but it can be implemented on windows as well, just beware of the particular Oracle implementation on a windows platform (orapwd file name, service creation, path format)
1. Create a password file for the Cloned (GEMINI) instance:
orapwd file=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/dbs/orapwGEMINI password=password entries=10
2. Configure tnsnames.ora and listner.ora
Properly identify the database at the tnsnames.ora and have the instance manually registered against the listener.ora files, both files located at the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.
2.a Manually register the database against the listener (listener.ora)
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0)
(SID_NAME = GEMINI)
2.b Added the target GEMINI to the tnsnames.ora
GEMINI =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost.mydomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(ORACLE_SID = GEMINI)
2.c Reload the listener
lsnrctl reload
3. Create a new init.ora for the cloned database.
Next create an init.ora file for the cloned database. In case the same paths cannot be used on the target host, either because it is the same source host or because those paths are not reproducible on the target, then DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT may be required to be defined
DB_NAME=GEMINI
CONTROL_FILES=(/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control01.ctl,
/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control02.ctl,
/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control03.ctl)
# Convert file names to allow for different directory structure.
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u02/oradata/SRCDB/,/u02/oradata/GEMINI/)
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u01/oradata/SRCDB/,/u01/oradata/GEMINI/)
# block_size and compatible parameters must match those of the source database
DB_BLOCK_SIZE=8192
COMPATIBLE=9.2.0.0.0
4. Connect to the cloned instance
ORACLE_SID=GEMINI; export ORACLE_SID
sqlplus /nolog
conn / as sysdba
5. Create an SPFILE based on the init.ora
CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE='/u01/app/oracle/admin/GEMINI/pfile/init.ora';
6. Start the database in NOMOUNT mode:
STARTUP FORCE NOMOUNT;
7. Connect to the TARGET, CATALOG and AUXILIARY databases.
By means of the rman three connections are open, one for the Source Database (SOURCEDB), another for the Catalog database (RCAT), and one more for the cloned database (GEMINI)
ORACLE_SID=GEMINI; export ORACLE_SID
rman TARGET sys/password@SRCDB CATALOG rman/rman@RCAT AUXILIARY /
8. Complete or Incomplete clone (recover)
From the rman the database using one of the following commands:
8.a Clone the database by means of a complete recover.
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO GEMINI;
8.b Clone the database up to a defined point in time in the past by means of an incomplete recover
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO GEMINI UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-2';
9. Process finished.
Once the process is finished, the newly created GEMINI database is ready to be used as an independent new cloned database.

Exception while creating a new database

Greetings,
I was using dbca (Database Configuration Assistant) on Linux to create a new database. Everything was going ok until it was 85% done, at which point it waited a long time and then said it had failed and gave the path to a log file. Below is [what I think to be] the relavant part of that log file (emConfig.log). I sure could use some help on this, thanks.

This may be a clue. In the file emdctl.trc there are many WARN lines (Connection refused) and two ERROR lines (timezones do not match) right at the time when dbca was 85% done. I am speculating that the timezone errors might be relevant to this problem. Below is just a snippet. Yesterday and this morning we tried to run $ORA_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole on this database and we get the timezone errors only. If timezone mismatch is the problem, how do you fix it?

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:Importing XML file to new Table of new Database-XML parsing: unexpected end of input???

Hi all,
In the Notepad, I created an xml file (ZenQroducts.xml) :
<Qroducts>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>1</SKU>
<Desc>Book</Desc>
</Qroduct>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>2</SKU>
<Desc>DVD</Desc>
</Qroduct>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>3</SKU>
<Desc>Video</Desc>
</Qroduct>
In my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio, I executed the following code:
--to create a new object Qroducts in a new database OPENXMLtesting
CREATE DATABASE OPENXMLtesting
GO
CREATE TABLE Qroducts(
sku INT Primary KEY,
qroduct_desc VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO Qroducts (sku, qroduct_desc)
SELECT X.qroduct.query('SKU').value('.', 'INT'),
X.qroduct.query('Desc').value('.', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'H:\ZenQroducts.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Qroducts/Qroduct') AS X(qroduct);
SELECT sku, qroduct_desc
FROM Qroducts;
I got the following message:
Msg 9400, Level 16, State 1, Line 6
XML parsing: line 13, character 12, unexpected end of input
I have no ideas why I got this "XML parsing:line 13, character12, unexpected end of input" message. Please kindly help, advise me on where I made mistake and how I can resolve this problem, and respond in this Forum.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Manish, Thanks for your response.
Yes, it is a duplicate with Qroducts/Qroduct instead of Products/Product. I did it, because I don't know how to remove the existing "Products" database.
Again, I got the existing "Qroducts" database in this second trial!!?? I am comletely lost in doing "Importing XML file to SQL Table" now!! I think that I have not touched T-SQL and XML programming, since 2008. I
did not catch the new features of T-SQL 2008, XML, SQL/XML, XQuery, etc. for long time. Recently, I did not know what DECLARE, @x, SET,...were, and dived into the SQL/XML and XQuery programming. I knew the SQL Basics (SELECT, FROM, WHERE,..), creating
the names of databases and tables in SQL Server 2008/2012 Management Studio (Express) before. This morning, I found an old T-SQL 2008 Prgrammer's Guide that has the new features of SQL Server 2008 for T-SQL, XML, XQuery, etc. I just starting reading
it to know what DECLARE, @x, SET,... are. But, I still don't know where the existing databases "Products" and "Qroducts" (created by me) are - they are not in the Databases of SQL Server 2012 Management Studio I am using!!?? Could
you please kindly point out where the "Products" and "Qroducts" databases are?
Prashanth responded to my posted question too and he asked to to try his code: DECLARE @xml XML, SELECT @xml =' <Qroducts>.....SELECT product.value.....FROM @XML.nodes.....AS.... I just learned that his code is doing the thing we
want to do and print the results below the SQL Query. This is not what I need in doing my SQL/XML programming. I am reading/studying the new (2008) features of T-SQL, XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (Second Edition), and Microsoft XQuery Language Reference
(SQL Server 2012 Books Online) closely now. I hope that I can resume the T-SQL, XML Query, SQL/XML, XQuery in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio soon.
Please tell me where the existing databases "Products" and "Qroducts" I created in my previous trials in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio. This is what I need to know and to delete them, before I do this kind of "Importing
XML file to Table of SQL Server 2012 Management Studio" programming again.
Please kindly help, advise and respond again.
Many Thanks,
Scott Chang

Changing a source module to a new database?

Hi there, looking for help from the users here! I'm on OWB 10.2 This should be a simple one, but I'm having a hard time!
The short summary of my question, is how do I change my mappings in my target db to pull from a new source module / database?
Here's the longer description:
In design center I have 2 different locations ("loc x prod_old" and "loc y prod_new"). I currently have a source module callled "m_src" that currently uses "loc x prod_old". So all views, etc, in "m_src" are currently being pulled from "loc x prod_old".
Now I want to change the "m_src" modeule from "loc x prod_old" to "loc x prod_new", and then I want to make sure all of my mappings in my "m_tgt" module which have objects in "m_src" get pulled from the "loc x prod_new".
On "m_src" module I change data location to "loc x prod_new" and also change metadata location to "loc x prod_new". Then I configure "m_src" and make sure the dropdowns point to "loc x prod_new" as well. Save. So far so good. In "m_src" I can now verify by selecting a view and looking at the "data" for the view.
I can also now select a mapping in my "m_tgt" module and when I generate the code I can see that it will use "loc y prod_new" instead of "loc x prod_old", which is correct.
When I go to control center, and run the mapping, the mapping is still using the "loc x prod_old", which is not what I want. It seems that I have to re-deploy each mapping. When I go to the db and look at the mapping using toad I can see the mapping still points to the "loc x prod_old". Only when I re-deploy the mapping does it use "loc x prod_new."
Surely there must be a way that I can change my location or my source module and get my mappings to use the new location, without having to re-deploy each and every mapping. How can I best do this?
Thanks!

I guess I should have waited another day before posting (unfortunately time is critical now). I figured this out and am closing the thread.
design center > location > edit it, pointing to new db
design center > go verify the data on a view
control center > target module > connector > drop / replace
in a sql tool you can now verify your dblink points to the new db

Creating new databases after latest security patch applied

10.2.0.4
If I create a database AFTEr applying the opatch for the October 2009 security patch, do I need to also run:
@catbundle.sql cpu apply
Or is it included in the create database? I use the DBCA to create new databases.

user8574962 wrote:
This is what Oracle states on metalink doc id: 422303.1
Once the bundle patch or the Critical Patch Update (CPU) patch is applied on an ORACLE_HOME should you run post-installation scripts for every newly created Oracle database using the same ORACLE_HOME?
Solution
This should be documented in the patch's README as the answer will vary with each patch.
If the patch's README is not documented, then the Post Install tasks should be run.
And this is what the OCTCPU09 README says:
3.3.3 Post Installation Instructions for Databases Created or Upgraded after Installation of CPUOct2009 in the Oracle Home
These instructions are for both non-RAC environments and RAC environments when a database is created or upgraded after the installation of CPUOct2009.
You must execute the steps in Section 3.3.2.1, "Loading Modified .sql Files into the Database" for any new database only if it was created by any of the following methods:
Using DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant) to select a sample database (General, Data Warehouse, Transaction Processing)
Using a script that was created by DBCA that creates a database from a sample database
Hope that helps.Point taken that it could vary by patchset, but those particular instructions quoted square exactly with what I had said. To quote with emphasis:
"You must execute the steps . . . for any new database *only if* it was created by any of the following methods . . ."
And what are those methods? Creating the database from a sample (pre-patch) database. If one uses dbca to create a 'custom' database, the resulting scripts will start from scratch with a CREATE DATABASE command - no pre-patch version sample or seed database involved.

Create new database in XE via GUI console

I would liek to know if it possible to create a new database in Oracle 10g Express Edition via the GUI Web console other than the existing XE database? If not, is there another way via SQL?

XE is limited to a single instance, and an instance can only open one database at a time.
You should be able to close the 'current database' (shutdown and startup nomount) and create a new database 'create database' through SQL, but I wouldn't see a lot of point to the exercise (except as a learning exercise, where you'd be better off using a Standard/Enterprise Edition).
There'd be no way to do the creation through an Apex application, as Apex itself has to run in a database so wouldn't survive the closure of the current database.

A new database explorer project

Hi folks!
I've planed to write a new "database explorer" firtly I mean to use this project in my Java Developer Certification Exams, after(or before) I want to open the source and have another database explorer in the open source world. :)
My firts ideas are around a different way to implement some things. I've seen few tools wich use the power of JDBC that abstract a lot of things for us, to retrieve the metadatas of a given database, but I want to implement a plug-in concept cause different databases have different resources/features and I want go so deep into these features.
Then these plugins would implement those features, for example postgre has some tuning/performance resources that we don't have in firebird neither in oracle, and we have sequences in oracle and itsn't present in other databases.
My question is if someone could point me some stuff to help me project this plug-in architecture? and is these kind of project a good option to use in the Java Developer Certification Exams?
Thanks

Some strange after create a new database

Hi All,
I try to create a new database on the Win 2000 ORA8I server (existing have 1 db already), after using the DBCA create it, I try to connect to new DB, but I found that all the control file are point to the old db's.
I've check that there are 2 SID (2 SID service found in services), tnsname is point to 2 different sid, listener also point to 2 different sid, below is the part of listener.ora and tnsname.ora
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = SVR1)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\oracle\ora81)
(SID_NAME = SVR1)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = SVR2)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\ora81)
(SID_NAME = SVR2)
)

I found that the problem is not so simple....
I try to recreate the servicesid and listener, without start the old sid service, the new SID cannot (should be "can") connect to new DB, but.
When I try to start the new SID and old SID at the same time, the new and old SID will connect to the same old DB.
I try to stop the old service again, both new and old SID cannot connect to DB.
try to recreate the service and listener and only start the new sid service, the sid can connect to new DB again.........
does anybody can tell me what's going on ?? I will be crazy......

How do the application servers connect the new database after failing over from primary DB to standby DB

How do the application servers connect the new database after failing over from primary DB to standby DB?
We have setup a DR environment with a standalone Primary server and a standalone Physical Standby server on RHEL Linux 6.4. Now our application team would like to know:
When the primary DB server is crashed, the standy DB server will takeover the role of primary DB through the DataGuard fast failover. As the applications are connected by the primary DB IP before,currently the physical DB is used as a different IP or listener. If this is happened, they need to stop their application servers and re-configure their connection so the they coonect the new DB server, they cannot tolerate these workaround.
Whether does oracle have the better solution for this so that the application can automatically know the role's transition and change to the new IP without re-confige any connection and shutdown their application?
Oracle support provides us the answer as following:
==================================================================
Applications connected to a primary database can transparently failover to the new primary database upon an Oracle Data Guard role transition. Integration with Fast Application Notification (FAN) provides fast failover for integrated clients.
After a failover, the broker publishes Fast Application Notification (FAN) events. These FAN events can be used in the following ways:
Applications can use FAN without programmatic changes if they use one of these Oracle integrated database clients: Oracle Database JDBC, Oracle Database Oracle Call Interface (OCI), and Oracle Data Provider for .NET ( ODP.NET). These clients can be configured for Fast Connection Failover (FCF) to automatically connect to a new primary database after a failover.
JAVA applications can use FAN programmatically by using the JDBC FAN application programming interface to subscribe to FAN events and to execute event handling actions upon the receipt of an event.
FAN server-side callouts can be configured on the database tier.
FAN events are published using Oracle Notification Services (ONS) and Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing (AQ).
=======================================================================================
Who has the experience and the related documentation or other solutions? we don't have the concept of about FAN.
Thank very much in advance.

Hi mesbeg,
Thanks alot.
For example, there is an application JBOSS server connecting the DB, we just added another datasource and put the standby IP into the configuration file except adding a service on DB side like this following:
        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:datasources:1.0">
        <datasources>
                <datasource jta="false" jndi-name="java:/jdbc/idserverDatasource" pool-name="IDServerDataSource" enabled="true" use-java-context="true">
                    <connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@<primay DB IP>:1521:testdb</connection-url>
                    <connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@<standby DB IP>:1521:testdb</connection-url>
                    <driver>oracle</driver>
                    <pool>
                        <min-pool-size>2</min-pool-size>
                        <max-pool-size>10</max-pool-size>
                        <prefill>true</prefill>
                    </pool>
                    <security>
                        <user-name>TEST_USER</user-name>
                        <password>Password1</password>
                    </security>
                    <validation>
                        <valid-connection-checker class-name="org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.oracle.OracleValidConnectionChecker"/>
                        <validate-on-match>false</validate-on-match>
                        <background-validation>false</background-validation>
                        <use-fast-fail>false</use-fast-fail>
                        <stale-connection-checker class-name="org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.oracle.OracleStaleConnectionChecker"/>
                        <exception-sorter class-name="org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.oracle.OracleExceptionSorter"/>
                    </validation>
                </datasource>
                <drivers>
                    <driver name="oracle" module="com.oracle.jdbc">
                        <xa-datasource-class>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</xa-datasource-class>
                    </driver>
                </drivers>
            </datasources>
        </subsystem>
If the failover is occurred, the JBOSS will automatically be pointed to the standby DB. Additional actions are not needed.
