Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone

Hi,
I was going through metalink doc 406982.1 Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone.
I couldn't understand a few points.
I would appreciate if someone can guide me regarding the following queries.
There is a statement in the doc
1)An important principle in Oracle Applications cloning is that the system is cloned, rather than the topology ....
--What is meant by topology in this description?
2)The Cloning methodology posted on this document requires full Autoconfig complience.
--didn't get this point.
3)Note: In the copying tasks below, UNIX/Linux users should ensure that the symbolic links (soft links) are preserved when copying. On most UNIX platforms, this can be accomplished with the cp -RH command. Consult the UNIX man page for the cp command to check the parameters available on your platform.
--what soft links are being talked about?will the regular cp -R command not preserve the soft links?
4)For patching AutoConfig on the E-Business Suite R12 instance, AutoConfig needs to be enabled on both the applications tier and the database tier. (387859.1)
--HOw do I check if AutoConfig is enabled or not?
5)Why do I need to synchronize appsutil on database tier from application tier?
6)Why do we need to maintaain snapshot information?
What does snapshot actually do?
Thannks,
Rushi

Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i

Hi,
for Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i , is it ncessary to copy jre, oui and oraInventory directories from source database tier file system to trget ?
Many thanks before.

Applications / EBS is discussed in this category http://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=11 (and there are more, if you look at the forums home page)
But, in general the oraInventory must exist to be able to patch or otherwise maintain the installation. Wouldn't think copying directories is a supported cloning method... Again, check with the proper forum. And use the Search function!

How to reduce the size of cloned Oracle Applications Instance

How to reduce the size of cloned Oracle applications instance, so as to save the storage space for the cloned systems.
How can we remove unimplemented modules in the instance so that we can reclaim the space occupied by them.
can any please suggest on this..?

mumbai,
I would recommend to leave it as it is.
If you can add some inexpensive HDD to your test system then do so.
The Apps DB storage decreasing process is quite painful and isn't straightforward.
You cant just delete unused schemas & tablesapces (if they are not used than they are not consuming reasonable space anyway). The modules in Apps are using each other procedures and objects. The effect of deleting one module (schema) is highly unpredictable.
If you will do something like that than you will not be able to patch your cloned system after that.
Some things can be done however in order to reduce size of a testing Apps system:
- Decries UNDO & TEMP tablespaces. Normally you do not need that big tbs in test system as you have got in the production.
- If your REDO LOG files are quite big and you have got a lot of redo groups you can recreated smaller REDO log files.
- On Apps tier you can delete OUTput and LOG files
In case you still would like to decrease data volume in your testing system you need to take a look on some tools which provide data subtracting capabilities from Apps DB. This process has to be quite intelligent. The tool have to know the data structures in APPS DB and subtract data in the way to not harm logical relationships between records. After a subtracting process you will need to make multiple FULL exp/imp cycles in order to reduce physical space consumed by the database. Beside the fact that those tools are quite expensive you will need to spend a lot of your time to implement those.
BTW: That is the size of you production DB? Have you analyzed which module takes most of the space? May be you can identify top 10 objects and try to archive a data from those object preventing the future grow of the production database.

Integration of Oracle applications with IDM

Hi All,
Please trow some light on how do we integrate Oracle applications with Oracle IDM(Identity Management).
Is MRM capable of providing inbounding and outbounding webservices. If not do we have any adapters for integeating the other applications with IDM.
What is the good practice to integrate a BPEL service with IDM.
Thanks in advance.

Integrating Oracle Help with Discoverer Plus

Folks -
Has anyone tried integrating Oracle Help with Discoverer Plus. I want to add my customized help (generated in RoboHelp - Oracle) to the help in Discoverer Plus. Is this doable? I don't want to use Oracle Help exclusively unless I need to.

Hi, Johnny.
I think you might have better luck getting your question answered on the forum for Discoverer at Discoverer
I'm not sure whether Discoverer supports extensions, but I would assume that they do in some way. Discoverer ought to provide a standard mechanism for extensions to provide help content.
Hope this helps,

Integrating Oracle Applications with Siteminder for SSO.

We currently have a Oracle Apps implementations with Oracle 9iAS as Application server. We are planning to integrate it in SSO using Netegrity Siteminder.
Please let me know your thoughts on the following
1) Additional softwares or patches needed to be applied at Oracle Application Server level before integrating with Siteminder. Do we need to install Oracle SSO seprately or does it come as part of Oracle 9iAS.
2) Also how will we implement SSO using siteminder without OID.
Any documents on it will help.

The Netegrity Siteminder Webagent will authenticate to some third party, probably the corporate LDAP. Using Oracle SSO (OSSO) is required and a java plugin needs to be customized. See:
Oracle® Application Server Single Sign-On Administrator's Guide
10g Release 2 (10.1.2) < I know different version but doesn't matter
B14078-02
Specifically Chapter - 13 Integrating with Third-Party Access Management Systems. That is a minor task.
Loading OID is a prerequisite and needs to contain the users that will need access to the protected resources in the environment. If it's a small amount of users, manually maintaining OID may not be a big deal utilizing OIDDAS but if it is a large amount, then this effort is a big deal. Big deal meaning a load utilizing the bulkload utility and a custom job that syncronizes the "Corporate LDAP" with OID. Mapping is important. External dependancy with the "Corporate LDAP" folks.
Another couple of important things to consider:
1. The seeded users in OID, such as orcladmin will most likely not be in the "Corporate LDAP" so once Netegrity Simplified Sign On (SSO) comes into play, those users are locked out. Orcladmin is a superuser in OIDDAS. For that reason, server administrators or DBA's that are in OID need to be granted OIDDAS privileges prior to enabling the Netegrity agent to prevent being locked out of that important but sensative tool. Disabling and re-enabling SSO is as simple as editing 2 config files and bouncing a few things though.
2. The OIDDAS Password lockout policy will start locking users after 60 days with no warning unless changed. If oidadmin gets locked, the fix is Note:251354.1. Very important to change the policy since it will be handled by the "Corporate LDAP". Note:251354.1 covers this. Basically using the oidadmin utility, change the "Password Expiry Time" from the default 5184000 to zero "0" which turn off the policy.
The realms that should be protected on the Netegrity policy server are both infrastructure. 7777/oiddas and 7777/sso need to be protected realms on the policy server. If you have a protected application going to mid-tier applications like 7778/discoverer/viewer, they get redirected to the infrastructure 7777/sso because if the directive in mod_osso.conf. Forms will be protected by the 7777/sso realm as well. On the Netegrity Policy Server, unprotected sub-realms can be created under protected realms.
The custom java plugin tells Oracle to trust the "Corporate LDAP" for authentication but authorization can still be performed within OID.
This all sounds difficult but it is really simple. The only part than can get difficult and time consuming is the OID load. Hopefully you get Siteminder DAS access to administer your realms on the Policy server.
Hope this helps! - Ron

Integrate Oracle Applications with local HTML DB to run APIs

Hi,
Iam new to HTML DB. I have few questions in my mind to clarify.
Currently iam working on API testing in one of the Oracle Application module.
During the API testing we call some APIs(usually some packaged procedures) from SQL Plus and check for the business rules and print the results to the SQL terminal using dbms_output.put_line. We have several test cases and for each test case we execute an API from the backend.
Now after going thru the HTML DB forum i got an idea that i will develop a HTML page in my local HTML DB for all these test cases where i will select the test case that needs to be executed and run it and the results are published on the web page.
Question-1: Can i integrate my oracle apps with my local HTML DB so that i can call those APIs ? If yes, how can we do it ?
Question-2: Can i call my plsql procedures from the HTML DB on a button click ?
Thanks,
Raj.

Run client of Oracle Application with Linux

Hi Evrybody,
We are looking for relace our applications with Oracle Application (financial) and for our project if is very important to use client machines with Linux OS. Anybody have experience about it?
If yes, wich Linux is better for you?
Best regards.
Mietek Zamroz

HI,
We are also looking for Linux clients for Oracle Applications 11i.
Oracle announced once a Version based on a standard java, not an exclusively Windows-modified jinitiator.
We are thinking of getting an application server running Win2k and access it with terminal services from
Linux. It works but it is not ideal in terms of scalability and cost, as the MS stuff does not cluster.

Writing Oracle Application with Pro*C

Hi,
Does anyone know how to write an application in Oracle
(probably using Pro*C) such that, the results produced by a sql
query can be produced with minimum response time ?
I have tried using cursors, but I realised that the results
are not produced as it goes along, meaning, it has to wait for
the "OPEN curosr" command to finish, before we get our first few
tuples.
Also, there seems to have some problem for using hints in
Pro*C, I have tried using statement such as "SELECT /*+ USE_NL
(R) */ ... " But it is as equivalent to not having that hint. I
tried the samething in sqlplus, it works fine, but not with my
Pro*C application.
Is there anyone out there doing similar stuff ? I would
appreciate if you can share some experience with me. Thank you
very much.
Regards,
Chia Chou

I have written many Pro*C programs and have been an Oracle DBA
for over 5 years. Response time is an interesting topic. Your
questions does not seem to focus on response time. Response time
is usually improved by database design and effective SQL. Almost
everything else is insignificant. Try doing explain plan's to
view your SQL's path and optimize this for every SQL that is in
your application. I have written Pro*c applications that operate
in parallel putting hundreds of thousands of records in
reasonable amounts of time. You can also improve time by using
array processing. As far as SELECT statements, if there are
multiple rows returned, cursors are the only way to go. Anyway,
if you have other concerns or questions, drop me an e-mail.

Cloning Oracle database with ASM --

Hello All,
I am new to ASM.
We have recently migrated our 10g database into 11gASM. Now we want to clone the database to a different server. I am completely aware of the cloning a standalone database. But this is something new to me. Cloning a database which is in ASM is new to me. Please help me with the steps.
thank you

Nothing is there to change in the case of ASM. The normal procedure standalone database cloning applies here.
One thing you got to rememer is the DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT. Set the ASM path in both parameters as source.

Cloning Oracle Applications

Hi all,
We have this situation.
We have made some modifications in our production init.ora file (source of cloning) initPROD.ora,
for example we have changed the sga_target parameter from:
sga_target = 1G
to
sga_target = 2G
After that we have finished the cloning procedure to new target instance and value of our modified parameter is still old value of sga_target (1G).
Do we need to change manually every parameter we have changed on production (source of cloning) or there is some other way to include this changes in new cloned instance?
Thanks,
Regards,
D.

Very very urgent Discoverer reports for non oracle applications

Hi,
My client is using discoverer 10g with R12.He is using different non oracle applications like BRM Application (database is oracle only) for that they wants to develop discoverer reports.It is possible to integrate with non oracle applications with discoverer.
Can you please suggest me.It is very very urgent.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi
You're really not supposed to manage a non-Apps mode EUL and an Apps mode data within the same URL. Having said that, I have a hunch you just might be able to do it and there are 2 ways. You can either make the data available to user who login using E-Business Suite credentials or you can make it available to users who have database credentials. The first one is straightforward and you do it just like any other data. Let me give you some hints regarding the second method.
First of all I ahve not personally tried this and you may find that because Discoverer was initially set up in Apps mode that somewhere down the line it will make the suers connect this way. However, the following is worth a try.
I would a new schema in the Oracle E-Business database to manage the link to BRM and create a database link from this user to a user in the BRM database. You will also need to create user accounts within the database for anyone who needs to login and run BRM reports.
Next, I would create views in this new schema pointing at data across the BRM link, thus allowing Discoverer to think these are local objects.
In Discoverer Administrator, you would need to log in to Discoverer using the owner of the EUL - NOT using SYSADMIN or any of the other E-Business Suite accounts. You should log in with the Oracle Applications checkbox unchecked. You can now create new business areas on the BRM data. You should also be able to assign users to Discoverer privileges and users to business areas.
Using the same URL you would have Apps users connect using the E-Business Suite item on the drop-down for logging in and you would have BPM users choose the Business Intelligence Discoverer item.
Let me know how you get on
Michael
