Provide a new, unique instance name - Distributed Environment

Hi,
I am not sure about this piece of information in installation docs
please refer
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121/frameset.htm?launch.html
When you configure in a distributed environment, provide a new, unique instance name as you configure each server. For example, if you are using the default instance name epmsystem1 on the first server, and you keep the same naming convention on subsequent servers, you would create new, unique instance names on each subsequent server, such as epmsystem2, epmsystem3, and >so on. What if i use same path "d:\.......\epmsystem1" on all servers in distributed environment?

Thanks John,
Mostly i configured different instance name ("D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem1" and "D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem2" etc.
but i have one client where i see similar instance on all servers in distributed environment "D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem1" and "D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem1" etc.
Please advice? and let me know what could be impact of these two scenario.

Unique instance names in distributed environment

The 11.1.2.1 installation guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121.pdf) says, on page 122 of the .pdf:
+"When you configure in a distributed environment, provide a new, unique instance name as you configure each server. For example, if you are using the default instance name epmsystem1 on the first server, and you keep the same naming convention on subsequent servers, you would create new, unique instance names on each subsequent server, such as epmsystem2, epmsystem3, and so on."+
No reason not to follow this advice, but wondering if it's really necessary. I feel sure I've seen installations where 'epmsystem1' was used on e.g. both a web application server and the Essbase server. Perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly.

Yes each server requires a unique name as it is registers the server with the shared services registry against the instance name, maybe it was on a 11.1.2.0 deployment that you saw the same instance name across the distributed environment.

Instance in distributed environment for 11.1.2.1 using maintenance release

Hi Experts,
As i plan for 11.1.2.1 using maintenance (from 11.1.2).
I need clarification:
as in 11.1.2 "Oracle EPM Instance name" was similar on all servers (D:\oracle\middleware\user_project; epmsystem1)
while in 11.1.2.1 "Oracle EPM Instance" should be different (D:\oracle\middleware\user_project; epmsystem1, D:\oracle\middleware\user_project; epmsystem2, etc....)
OR EPM ORACLE Instance Directory recommended on shared drive accessible to all machine.
In my case 11.1.2 is having similar instance name on all servers.
Please suggest
Regards
Kumar

Hi John,
Thanks for the help.
As per suggested document
When you configure in a distributed environment, provide a new, unique instance name as you configure each server. For example, if you are using the default instance name epmsystem1 on the >first server, and you keep the same naming convention on subsequent servers, you would create new, unique instance names on each subsequent server, such as epmsystem2, epmsystem3, and >so on. Is it applicable in maintenance release where all instance name are similar (epmsystem1) on all servers?
Does it mean i should modify and make it (epmsystem1, epmsystem2, epmsystem3....)?
Please suggest as i am not very sure

Creating instances of symbols with unique instance names in Actionscript 3

Hey
I was wondering if it is possible to create a large number (lets say 100) of symbol instances where each of the different instances had its own unique instance- name . The names beeing something like ball1, ball2, ball3, etc..
Normally i would just create all these and manually give them their name, so a solution to this would spear me alot of time.
Thanks

Here's a very simple example that should get you started:
var howMany:int = 100;
var itemNameList:Array = new Array();
function populateScreen() {
     for(var i:int = 0 ; i < howMany ; i++) {
            var newBox:box = new box();
            addChild(newBox);
            newBox.name = "box" + i;
            itemNameList.push(newBox.name);
            newBox.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth/2;
            newBox.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight/2;
     trace(itemNameList);
populateScreen();
Have a movieClip in the movie's Library with a class name of "box". Create a new instance of that object, add it to the display list and then set a name property. I then added each name to an array so that you can keep track of the objects. I then placed each one at a random location on the screen.

Urgent!!, what is my unique instance name?

I've installed Infrastructure, now I'm adding forms but when installing forms I get an error:
enter a unique instance name for this Oracle9iAS and ias_admin password.
I tried the SID, the service name, and I'm still getting the error.

I found the problem.
It is not going to use the same db, I entered a new db name and is creating a new one.

Restore an RMAN backup to a new db instance name.

I have a old copy of an RMAN backup of a production database from 2 months ago. I want to restore it to a new instance name. The backup no longer shows in the RMAN backup listing from the control file of the current production system.
The backup I have does have the control file as well as the other backup pieces, Is there a procedure to restore this to a new instance since the backup is no longer in the current production control file?
I have used the duplicate command of RMAN and have successfully restored databases to a new instance name by using the newname option.
But the backups were always in the control file.
Can this be done? If so, how?

You need to restore the controlfile first and copy it into all locations where init.ora specify them. then startup mount, and 'rman / target' will give you access to the old contents of the controlfile at that time.. If the rest of the back is on tape, you need to restore the rman backupset first to disk on same location specified in the backupsets paths. same for the archivelogs.
Then you can decide to go for a duplicate database to target <newname> or a restore DB (must have the same name). but was the DB a cold backup ? then remember than Rman does not takes the redo logs, so that your shutdown before must be clean (shutdown immediate at most). If it is an hot you may need need to dump the arc and possible do a recover manual (case you forgot to put the arcchives or the archives names is not the same in the init.ora than original for you include the db name in it).
In that case the archive logs may be renamed to what ever is in the init.ora. and there are many others possbilities. you did not specified enough data on the backup

Acquiring movieclip instance names

I need to write a function that retrieves the instance names of movie clips without knowing what those instance names are.
Here's the scenario:
The timeline reaches a frame which has a movieclip with an instance name of "bigClip"
bigClip itself holds a number of movieclips, each with its own unique instance name. On the enterFrame of bigClip, I want to retrieve all the instance names that are on bigClip and put them in an array.
I can't seem to figure this out. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Well I doubt you want to do it on the enterframe of bigClip. Do you really need to find the names of all the clips 30 times a second every second that big clip exists? I'm guessing/hoping you just mean when bigClip starts.
In any event you can make a function that returns an array. Perhaps something like this:
function findChildrenClips(clip:MovieClip):Array{
var theClips:Array=new Array();
for(var a in clip){
if(typeof(clip[a])=="movieclip"){
theClips.push(clip[a]);
return theClips;
Then on the frame where big clip exisits you can do this:
var foundClips:Array=findChildrenClips(bigClip);
Now if you really want to do this onEnterFrame you could probably do it, but there is probably a better way to structure your file in that case.

Flash actions and instance names

Hi, i'm after some advise on how to navigate around the timeline using buttons. I know this sounds simple but i'm running into some daft problems.
I've added a single instance for a button called 'button' which appears on multiple keyframes. This button only appears once per keyframe but some of the actions are getting mixed up. I know that i can create multiple instances to get around this but in principle i cant see why having one action attached to one instance per keyframe would cause an issue regardless of that fact i have the same instance appear on multiple keyframes. Should flash be behaving like this?
Andy

Hi Ned, what i have is a layer called actions that hosts a number of actionscripts with a keyframe for each script. To save time i usually create the first frame using unique instance names and then i simply copy and paste them into subsequent keyframes. So each KEYFRAME has unique instances. I thought that by doing this i would save time by not having to re-name or reposition each instance that appears on my timeline - this would take a long time not to mention the complications it would cause should i decide to shuffle a few frames about later on. For the majority of the time everything works just fine but occasionally the timeline will jump to somewhere totally unexpected. the problem is compounded by the fact that many of these buttons control video playback, so you can imagine the mess this is causing.
If what i'm doing is bad practice then i'll happily do it the right way by naming each instance but i'm still struggling to see why actions are getting mixed up when they run on their own keyframe.

22591 The specified computer name (%ComputerName;) is already in use by another virtual machine or by a virtual machine configuration object. Ensure that the computer name is unique in the VMM environment, and then try again.

Hello everyone,
I recently bummed into an error message when I want to deploy a service template.
Setup:
1 HyperV server on win2k12 r2
1 SCCM VMM 2k12r2 on the hyperv server
1 template with all the objects in the library
Error:
When I deploy the the service template I get the below error message.
22591
The specified computer name (%ComputerName;) is already in use by another virtual machine or by a virtual machine configuration object.
Ensure that the computer name is unique in the VMM environment, and then try again.
The issue is that I can't find it anywhere, not on my domain controller not on my dns server as a record and also not as a vm in sccm or in powershell when doing get-vm. So where do I need to remove it ( no it is not an option to create a new Hostname for
this service template ).
Andre

There could be a couple things happening.
One - you have a Service Template, it defines %Computername% as a variable. And you have deployed this Template once using 'foo' and you are deploying it again as 'foo' without deleting the previous instance.
Two - you hardcoded the computer name into the template.
Three - you are scaling out and you have hit the bug that the wizard does not increment the machinename if you have something like computername## where SCVMM should be incrementing the machine name.
Windows does not support identically named machines (you can't have two machines on the same network with the same computer name - they broadcast their name and the 'second' one shuts down its network stack). In support of this SCVMM also enforces
this rule.
And with any templates SCVMM is in charge of machine names at deployment.

This error keeps cropping up now and again on most of our domain controllers (OS-2008 AND 2008R2)...Usually a restart fixes the issue however the issue repeats and security logs don't generate.
Any advice on how to fix this issue permanently would be greatly appreciated.

Hyperion 11.1.1.3 Installation and Configuration on a Distributed Environ:

Hi All,
We have Only Hyperion Production Servers on a Distributed Environment. Now, we are thinking to create new instance that will be called Development Environment and that must be replica or mirror of Prod Environment. For that we cloned Production Servers.
Since we have all four servers Cloned for Development Environment now I need to Configure those all four instances.....I never worked with installations and configurations ...I do have knowledge and little experience with single tier or one system installation and configuration but distributed environment....I need your support and guideline to configure these boxes...
Our Distributed Environment lay out is as follows:-
We have installed Hyperion on Windows Server 2003 and Database is SQL Server
(1) We have Four Servers
(a) SQL, which Contains these services EPMA, and IIS Admin Service, World Wide Publishing Services, Hyperion Calc Manager-Web Application,
Hyperion EPMA (.Net JNI Bridge, Engine Manager, Event Manager, Job Manager, Process Manager, Web Application, and Data Syn-WebApplication)
(b) Essbase Server Contains these services Hyp ERP Integrator-Web Application, Hyp Essbase Services, Hyp financial Data Quality Management-
Task Manager
(c) Planning Server contains these Services Hyp Financial Reporting-Web Application, Hyperion Planning-Web Application, Hyp RMI Registry,
Hyp Web Analysis-Web Application
(d) Workspace Server Contains these services Hyp Finacial Reporting (Java RMI Registy, Print Server, Report Server, Scheduler Server), Hyp Foundatio
OpenLDAP, Hyp foundation shared services-web application, Hyp Provider Services - web application, Hyp Workspace (agent service and web application)
(2) Now my question is which server needs to be configured 1st then next and next and what things or steps i need to follow for configuration that works fine?
I know I can run EPMA configure tool for each system from Stat>All program>Oracle EPMA>EPMA Configuration> and then select tool to run.....But I am bit confused that which one go 1st and then next.
Please give your few words for this so that I can start configure the system....
I hoping for positive feedback...
Thanks in Advance.

We have roughly 8 servers in our distributed prod environment. We are using red linux for everything but the epma and report server which you need a windows server. The way we installed was to start with the base server with Shared services and establish that one and whatever else you want on that server. From there it really didnt matter as you go through the installs it will ask you where your shared services box is located. The only problem we had was that some of our boxes are behind a WHI cage where we had to open up ports. Other then that i really didnt follow a specific sequence of installation after shared services. Hope that helps.

Identical database & instance names in Oracle 11g R2 RAC

Hi ,
     We are migrating our EBS 11i (11.5.10 CU 2) and oracle 11gr2 (11.2.0.3) database (database only) which is currently on Solaris to Linux. Currently the database is NON-RAC and as a part of the migration we are converting it in to a 5 Node RAC. A lot of third party interfaces connected to this environment are using hard coded database name. Unfortunately due to the project time lines it's impossible to change those applications within the migration timeline. In order to ensure that they don't break we are thinking of keeping one instance name same as database name so those applications can continue to function without any change to their code. We are aware that this would compromise on fail over capabilities for those applications but we are ok with that.
This what we have in mind: Create 5 PROD instance named as PROD, PROD1,PROD2, PROD3 & PROD4. PROD being the name of the database also. I would like to know:
1) Is this configuration allowed i.e., is it ok to have one instance with the same name as database?
2) We will be creating a 5 node Data gaurd environment for this so what will be the impact of such a naming on it?
3) Since it's an EBS environment will there be any issues with application configuration?   Our application architecture will be as below:
6 application nodes - Two for concurrent managers, two for forms & web & two external nodes
The two CM app nodes will be tied to two database instances using Services
Remaining app nodes will connect to the remaining 3 instances once again using services.
We will be configuring services using "vip" instead of scan names.
4) What will be the impact if the node having the instance name same as database name goes down?
5) Any other areas to worry about with such a configuration say like cluster services, 3rd partyinterfaces/applications?
Please let me know if you have any idea of such a configuration.
regards
pramod

Brian, rchem & Martin thanks for your responses. Appreciate it much. I was thinking about the service alternative but unfortunately I understand from my customer that their applications have hard coded database (used as a instance name) name. All they are saying is that their applications are using instance name instead of database name without providing much details on how it's being used. I just know that there 180 applications... Oracle & non Oracle based in which the instance name is hard coded, but haven't got answers to my questions on how it's hard coded i.e., is it being pulled from the database using a hard coded query like "select instance_name from v$instance" or is it a part of some variable in the script/application etc., and what it's being used for (later) within the application. Answers to those question will help in deciding what should be the right strategy but since I am short of time I thought of this and wanted to know if anybody has implemented or come across a similar architecture.
I am creating services and using them in my EBS application ifile thereby avoiding SID but agree with you on the node failure part as I haven't tested this new set up yet.
Martin,
          You are right, they are using the database name as a SID in their application hence the above need. My cluster version is 11.2.0.4.0 (both Active & Software versions). The source database on solaris is 11.2.0.3 Non RAC, it's going to be upgraded to 11.2.0.4 before conversion/migration hence I have installed & created a 11.2.04 RAC environment as a part of POC/Load testing.

How to get new controller instance instead of a cached one?

Hi,
I have the following problem. I am working on a stateful mvc application. You can search for items and then click on a button which allows you to see the details of an item in a new window and it is possible to modify it.
I use standard javascript code to open the details windows:
window.open("item.do?itemnumber=1", "MyFirstWindow");
This works fine. It opens the first window. The item controller is called for the first time and the do_init method will be executed.
Now, I open a second window with this code:
window.open("item.do?itemnumber=2", "MySecondWindow");
Unfortunately the framework will not create a second controller instance for the second window. It will use the already existing item controller (the do_init method will not be called).
Now, I have two windows open which both use the same controller instance.
So my question is: Is there the possibility to tell the framework that I need a new item controller instance for every new window?
I already checked various official url sap-parameters but did not find anything useful.
regards
Thomas

Hi,
sorry for not answering earlier. To be honest I thought there might a standard way to get a new controller instance. But it seems that is not the case. For everybody who is interested I think I will use the following solution.
I create a wrapper controller called itemwrapper.do. The view of this controller has the following layout:
<htmlb:content design="design2003" >
<htmlb:document>
    <htmlb:documentHead>
    </htmlb:documentHead>
    <htmlb:documentBody>
              <bsp:call url     = "item.do"
                        comp_id = "<%= item_id %>">
                <bsp:parameter name="itemid" value="<%= item_id %>"/>
              </bsp:call>
    </htmlb:documentBody>
</htmlb:document>
</htmlb:content>
The wrapper controller is called like this: item.do?itemid=1234.
How does is works? The wrappercontroller gets a request -> it gets the itemid from the url -> it opens the view and fills the page attribute item_id. In the view the bsp:call extension will create a new item controller instance everytime a unique item_id is used.

Thomas
