Relocate DB instance to another server

Hi,
I would like to hear some advise on the procedure to relocate my DB instances.
Background:
This project is to replace the hardware where the database instances of SAP Netwevare PI/XI 7.0 are running. This is a distriguted environment. The DB instances are Oracle 10.2 running on RedHat Linux x86-64. The new hardware will be running RedHat Linux x86-64. As you can see the OS is not changing. The instance name is not changing. The Application server names IS NOT changing. However, the DB server name is changing.
Here is the altrenative that I have in mind.
1. Backup source DB
2. Restore into new server and restart.
3. Point the SAP instance to the new server. Is there a note or procedure to make this change? Is is enugh with changing only the tnsnames.ora?
I guess another alternative would be to make a system copy? What would you do if you have to relocate your DB instances?
Thanks!

Hello Augusto,
if i understood you correct only the host of the database is changed. The ABAP and JAVA instances are still running on the same host as before?
If yes then this is pretty easy ... you can shutdown and copy the database with scp/rsync .. or if you have a shared storage you can just remap the disks to the new server.
As you described, that the hostname of the DB host will change you have to do 2 things
1) Change hostname of entries in tnsnames.ora (for more information about tnsnames check sapnote #562403)
2) Change the host connection entry in the secure store of the Java instance (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/de/ec/9432d189c445cdacdc7e520981b4b6/content.htm / Database Schema password should be change or not)

Move Central Instance to Another Server

Hello expert,
Now we have a distributed system: CI on server 1, DB on server 2. Now we want to move the CI to another server 3 without change the DB server.
We get some information from link Move the central instance to another server in SAP
We have few questions:
1. Can we change the SID of CI with method provided in link?
2. Any other additional steps should we do?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Tong Ning

Hi Tong,
You can install a new SAP instance (CI) on the new server as your DB is not moving and is on different host, and replicate important files from your old CI host.
For eg, the host file, services file, trans directory and some work directory contents.
Also, if your server on same OS or different ?
You should check the compatibility of new OS and DB in service market place (PAM).
For changing SID, please use standard guides and tested WIKI links.

Divyanshu

Cannot start instance of another server : correction

Correction : To the moderator of the newsgroup, please delete my other post with
the subject 'Cannot start instance of another server'.
In the console of WLS 6.1 SP3 on HP-UX, I have created another instance of a server
I called 'another_of_myserver' (in addition to the default myserver). When I
try to start another_of_myserver, it won't start and gives the following error
============================

===========================
What does it mean and how do I get it to start ?
Thanks for any help or suggestion.

Athooya,
If you do not specify a weblogic.nodemanager.listenPort or
weblogic.nodemanager.listenAddress they will be set to the default.
So the listenAddress will be localhost and so not matching exactly the address
used by the remote
start. Please try to set the listen address of the Node Manager when it is
started. You can specify the address on which the Node Manager will listen for
requests from the
Administration Server with the following parameter: -Dweblogic.nodemanager.listenAddress=host
where host is the DNS name or IP address of the machine where the Node Manager
is started.
The default port on which the Node Manager will listen for requests
from the Administration Server is 5555. You can change this with the following
startup parameter:
-Dweblogic.nodemanager.listenPort=port

Changing essbase connection to another shared services instance on another server

Hi Everybody,
I'm working on 11.1.2.2 EPM platform and i need to change the essbase connection to Shared Services. I want to make it connecting to another instance on another server. So i think to launch the Configurator on the new server to connect the essbase to the new instance. However, what about the existing configuration? Do I need to unconfigure it? Is there a procedure that i could follow?
I hope i was clear... Thank you in advance for each considerations you could make about my issue.
Regards,
Maurizio

Thank you very much John!
It is the solution! Uninstalling Essbase removes the shared services registries so i colud make it point to the correct instance....
Thanks again!
Maurizio

I do not remember the HP/UX commands, but something like 'ps -ef |
grep startNodeManager' should show you the proceess (if it is
running).
If you do not see the Node Manager in the process list, try to start
it using '/BEA-home/weblogic610/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh'
(preferably in a separate terminal window).
To verify that it is listening on port 5555 (the default Node Manager
port), do a 'netstat -an | grep 5555'. It should give something like
'127.0.0.1.5555 *.* ..... LISTEN' if it is listening for connections.
Hope this helps.

Trying to connect db server from another server

Hello team,
Today i tried to connect db server(Named instance) from another server and that was failed. im getting below error
any one help on this will be appreciated.
unable to check connection to the repository The Tcp/Ip connection to the host server, port 1433 has failed.
Error: "connection refused: connect. verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of sql server is running on the host and accepting Tcp/Ip connections at the port. make sure that Tcp connections to the port are not blocked bya firewall.

Hello,
Normally "Connection Refused" is caused by firewalls actively closing the requests. Also, please note that by default named instances use dynamic ports and do not listen on 1433. If you are using dynamic ports, make sure the browser service is started and
that UDP 1434 is allowed for browser service communication.

Copy Custom toolbar from one instance to another in Project server 2007

Hi,
I am currently using project server 2007. We have a number of instances in our Project server enivoronment. Is it possible to copy customized toolbar from one instance to another? If yes, how?
Thanks in advance

Hi Khaldun,
As per my reply in your previous post, here is a link explaining how to use the organizer:
Http://blogs.msdn.com/b/project/archive/2010/10/22/tips-and-tricks-copy-custom-views-filters-tables-and-other-elements-to-other-projects.aspx?Redirected=true
Basically, just copy the toolbar from the global source instance into a blank project file. Then do the same operation from the blank file containing your toolbar into the destination global model, still using the organizer.
Hope this helps.

Chang system userid/password for another server instance

It it possible to change the system userid/password for another server
instance. If so , how ?
I would like to allow certain groups to be able to start and stop ONLY their
server without giving out the system account.
Thanks in advance!

the relationship between the infrastructure nodes and the application server nodes is a one to many relationship. The infrastructure home should be the only home that the EMWebsite service has been started for.
the user to log in to em console is ias_admin/<password> if it does not accept the password that you set for this user then try it with caps lock on as you may have had it one when setting the password.
As 9ias release 2 has been designed with a multiple machine install in mind, if you install more than one instance (multiple oracle homes) on the server then you will end up with multiple apache processes and oc4j processes. This means you will be able to connect to 2 apache server homepages under different ports. That is why you get the same page.

2 Portal Instances on Same Server

I am trying to create a second portal instance in a separate database on the same server. The 9iAS lives on another server. I have already successfully got the first portal up and running with web browser access. However, I'm not sure how to get the second portal up and running with that ssodatan script.
I tried specifying a separate port (7778) in that script and started a second port listening in httpd.conf, but this doesn't work. I also tried specifying a separate port and separate url (like portal302 and portal302_sso) in the http parts of that script, but this didn't work either.
Each portal has it's own login server installed, so I don't want to associate both portals with a single login server.
Can someone help me??? Thanks.

Kathryn,
Presumably you installed both Portal instances in different schemas (i.e. Portal30 and Portal309 etc.). If so, then all you will have to do is run the ssodatan script against each, referencing the exact http address for each. Once you have done this you should be able to contact both from the same http port (i.e. port 80) by referencing them in the URL (i.e. http://www.foo.com/pls/portal30 and http://www.foo.com/pls/portal309.

ATIt's still not at all clear, but let me outline what I think you are after
Given a database, ORCL_A
In database ORCL_A we have a schema, HALFTRACK
User HALFTRACK has a table, MYSTUFF
Given a database, ORCL_B
In database ORCL_B we have a user GREENBRASS
User GREENBRASS needs to be able to query the table HALFTRACK.MYSTUFF.
In database ORCL_B, as user GREENBRASS
create database link mylink
connect to halftrack identified by halftracks_pswd
using ORCL_A;
select * from mytable@mylink;The db link defines a connection specification to ORCL_A, using the credentials of a user on ORCL_A. The target of the USING clause in the link definition must be an entry in the tnsames.ora file on the server hosting database ORCL_B.
When querying through the link, database ORCL_B is simply acting as a client to ORCL_A, no different that a sqlplus session on ORACL_B's server. As far as ORCL_A is concerned, ORCL_B is just another client requesting a connection, connecting with the credentials defined in the link definition.

Error while duplicate database from one server to another server

Hi there,
I am practicing duplicate database from one single database server to another server. Hardware and driver path on 2 machines is the same. Here are my steps:
--------------------- Clone site:
1. modify listener.ora with content:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /u01/app/oracle
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = orcl)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME= orcl)
ENABLE_GLOBAL_DYNAMIC_ENDPOINT_LISTENER = ON
2. stop and start listener again, message show like :
Service “orcl” has 1 instance(s).
Instance “orcl”, status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service…
The command completed successfully
3. create pfile from spfile.
4. shutdown and startup nomount with pfile is new pfile create from step 3.
--------------------------------------- Source site
1. modify tnsnames.ora with content like:
VVCOREDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = vvcoredb)
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = 10.254.1.235) (PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
2. run command from rman like these:
rman> connect target sys@vvcoredb
rman> target database Password:
rman> connect auxiliary sys@orcl
rman> auxiliary database Password:
rman> DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE to orcl from active database spfile nofilenamecheck;

11 instances with Directory server Enterprise 6.3

Hi all, I plan to install the Directory Enterprise server 6.3 with 11 instances. only 1 on the instances will be updated/modified, the rest of the instances are for Querying onl. the directory server will be running on a sun server with 4 CPUs and 4 GB of RAM. Each instance will hold an average of 55,000 entries.
In your oponion, is a setup like this possibe?
Thanks for your time

Thanks for the reply Chris. This is something I inherited.
there is data for a year on each instance. and each instance is running on a seperate port. so slapd-server-1 is running on port 1999, because it has the archived data from 1999, slapd-server-2 is running on port 2000 because it has the archived data from the year 2000. Here is what the instances look like.

Connecting oracle dev 2000 forms to oracle 9i database on another server

we have these oracle developer 2000 forms (in .fmx format) in a server and the data of these forms in another server.... the server with the data is very old and is very slow...so we decided to relocate the database(oracle 9i) to a new server..... also, we move the developer 2000 forms from the old server to another server which will serve as the front end to the new data server.
The problem is we can't figure out how to make the developer 2000 forms on the new front end server to point to the new database on the new data server. I would really appreciate if u cud gimme some advice on this... so we need to know how the forms find the data, where this "connection string" is for developer 2000 forms.

You have to create a Net Service from "Net Configuration Assistant". Or you can copy TNSNAMES.ora file from your old server to new server. You can find TNSNAMES.ora file in developer_suite_Home/Network/admin folder.

I am to connect the database on that machine. but not in different machine. i am able to access/ping linux machine in another machine also.
while creating tns entry for linux database instance in another machine using "netca" i am getting this error.
Connecting...ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
The test did not succeed.
Some of the information you provided may be incorrect.
Click Back to review the information provided for net service name, or Change Login to change username.
I verified listener and tns entry ( i think for this listener configuration is enough) also. and database is up.
If anybody knows why i am not able to connect linux database in another machine. is there any network configurations other than listener configuration.
Thanks in advance.

yes i tried to connect with ORACLE_SID, its successful. and using tnsname like you said.
Instead of using netca to create the tnsnames.ora entry on the second server, copy the tnsnames.ora entry from the DB server. Then use tnsping to test connection :-i done above but not able to ping the tns name, i am getting this error.
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

Relocate DB instance to another server
