Restoring an oracle home and oracle inventory

Hi,
We are on oracle 10.2.0.3 and oracle 9.2.07 on solaris 8. (there are both versoin db on same server)
I am taking a backup of oracle home and inventory before a critical os patch. suppose something goes wrong and the whole server has to be rebuilt, what is the process of restoring the oracle home and the oracle inventory? should I just unzip the zipped backup in the same directory?
Thanks,

Also, probably would be a good idea to take a quick glance at the Oracle Homes section of the Universal Installer guide.

  • Corruption of Oracle Inventory by installing ADF runtime libraries?

    Hi,
    We are running OAS 10.1.2.2.0 on RedHat Enterprise Linux and I am deploying an ADF application from JDev 10.1.3.39.84.
    I downloaded the standalone installer for the adf runtime libraries installer from here:
    http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdeveloper/10132/extensions/adfinstaller.zip
    and installed it to our development server. I then deployed the ADF application and it seems to work just fine.
    Now I have requested that these libraries be installed to the production server but the Sys Admin has informed me that:
    "Your installation appears to have corrupted the 'Oracle Inventory' on the development server. This can affect upgrades, patching, etc."
    I have been asked to investigate if this is a known issue and what possible resolutions there might be for preserving/restoring the Oracle Inventory to enable continued maintenance of the servers.
    I have searched the forums and Metalink without success, so I am posting this query to see if anyone else can help me point me in the right direction.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi,
    please file a service request with customer support. This way you have an analyst working with you to track down the issue. Because ADF libraries are copying jar files only and this is nothing you can re-do after wards, I would be surprised if it has anything to do with the Oracle inventory. However still it would be good to have customer support looking at this

    Hi Guys,
    Creating Oracle Inventory Installation Step Does Not Finish and Hangs at 99% while installing Hyperion 11.1.1.4.I'm running the installer from a local drive and also noticed that the uninstaller files are not created.The installer process has been running for 4+ hours.
    Any suggestions/tips?
    Thanks
    Manoj

    hi John,
    we left the installer running overnight, but the install process has still not completed.Also it has not created any uninstaller files under the following directory:
    E:\APPS\Hyperion\uninstall
    what could be the reason for that?
    Thanks.

    Typically this a PATH variable problem
    The golden rule is to install the oldest product first.
    Then make sure you path has the right ORACLE_HOME/bin 's
    In the right order.
    Remeber if you run say sqlplus from ORACLE-HOME1 it will look in
    ORACLE_HOME1/network/admin for its tnsnames files etc
    If you run sqlplus fom ORACLE_HOME2 then it will look in
    ORACLE_HOME2/network/badmin
    I always clone the network config files so they are the same in all homes.
    You have to be a little bit careful about this. FOr instance I have forms 6i wihich uses Net 8 so I can't exacly clode the tnsnames etries.
    But you get the picture.
    And generally make sure ORACLE_HOME is not set in your windows environment.
    Ths will cause problems.

  • Wht isifference btw content scope and valuation scope in oracle inventory

    hi to all
    what is differnce btween content scope and valuation scope in cycle count form . both have organization and sub inventory check box can any body tell difference btween the both . please help me...

    The content scope defines which item you will consider.
    If you select Subinventory, only those items that reside in that subinventory are considered.
    If you select organization, then all items in that org are considered.
    The valuation scope determines how should the selected items be ranked.
    If your Content scope is organization, then the valuation scope must be organization too.
    But if your content scope is subinventory, then the valuation scope can either be subinventory or organization.
    Assume you have following onhand
    item/onhand      Subinv       Entire org
    Item1            5               50
    Item2           10               30Assume your content scope = subinventory.
    If you select valuation = subinventory, then the items will be ranked according to the onhand of the items in THAT subinventory. So Item1 will get a lower ranking that item2.
    But if you you select valuation = organization, then the items in that subinventory will be ranked according to their onhand in the ENTIRE organization. So Item1 will get a higher ranking that item2.
    Hope this answers your question,

  • Oracle inventory location Help

  • Patching 10gr2 RAC, Oracle inventory on a CFS

    I have 4-node HP-UX VCS5 Oracle10g RAC setup running in production environment. First time i am trying to apply latest patch bundle. I am trying to apply 10.2.0.4 patch set.
    I am getting the bellow error when i am applying the patch.
    "Central Invventory can't be shared, this is not supported"
    The ORACLE_BASE is on a cluster file system.
    To ignore this error and to proceed with patch installation, what steps we need to take ?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Looks like you have run into an always documented restriction which has now been enforced with the OUI in the 10.2.0.4 patchset.
    The documentation which mentioned that Shared Central Inventories are not recommended / supported is available at :
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b16227/oui6_cluster_environment.htm#BABGJAAF
    <Quote>
    The Oracle Inventory directory (oraInventory) stores an inventory of all software installed on the system. It is required by, and shared by, all Oracle software installations on a single system. The first time you install Oracle software on a system, Oracle Universal Installer prompts you to specify the path to this directory. If you are installing the software on a local file system, then Oracle recommends that you choose the following path:
    oracle_base/oraInventory
    If the Oracle base directory is on a cluster file system, or on an NFS file system on a NAS device, then you must specify a path for the Oracle Inventory directory on a local file system. The Oracle base directory must be on a local file system to enable all of the nodes to have separate inventories.
    Oracle Universal Installer creates the directory that you specify, and sets the correct owner, group, and permissions for it. You do not need to create it.
    <un-quote>
    What has changed with the 10.2.0.4 Installer is that Oracle now enforces this restriction. What I believe is that without this being enforced , there was a possibility of running into Central Inventory corruption issues when Clustered and Non-Clustered installs were being done on the same node.
    I also found this discussion on one of the Metalink threads which might be useful.
    Please contact Oracle Support prior to attempting these steps though.
    Quoting Oracle:
    It is not supported to have central inventory on a shared location. There was a bug.5009954 "OUI SHOULD ENFORCE SEPARATE CENTRAL INVENTORY LOCATIONS IN RAC" filled on this issue. This bug is fixed in 11.2. It is actually an OUI issue which doesn't perform a check to make sure that central inventory location is not on shared device.
    In order to fix the inventory, you can change the OH/oraInst.loc in the CRS home to point to a non-shared directory.
    Run <crs>/oui/bin/attachhome.sh -silent -local -cfs CRS=true -invPtrLoc <crs>/oraInst.loc on each of the nodes. Finally copy the oraInst.loc to the /etc/oraInst.loc.

    Is this your first oracle home installation? If not then it will take the inventory location as the previous location.
    Inventory directory is similar to program files in windows and its recommended to install all oracle softwares with inventory in /home/oracle/oraInventory directory

    Hello HuaMin,
    you don't need a grid user for your 10g XE installation. If you want to install a Management Agent for Grid Control, please refer to the "Installation and Configuration Guide" that corresponds to your Grid Control version. Perhaps start at the [url http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/grid-control/documentation/oem-091904.html]Enterprise Manager Documentation home page.
    Please also make sure you meet the license agreements for both 10g XE and EM.

    Please respond if you have encountered this error and what you did to resolve it.

    Of course, thoroughly. Ok. Like I said, it surprising how often people don't check that, so we always ask first.
    Have you run into this error,
    or a similar one, before? No. Have installed 9.2 on several Solaris boxes without a problem, so have not directly seen this one.
    Do you have an applicable
    troubleshooting tips? I searched MetaLink on "unable to find product oracle.swd.jre" and got three hits. None are exactly your situation, but they might lead you to something. See notes 468150.1, 315842.1, and 397745.1.

  • Item import to oracle inventory from legacy system

    Hi,
    We have a requirement where we need to import a very large number of items (close to 500,000) from a legacy system to oracle inventory.
    We are using oracle open interface for this. We have designed a temp table for this purpose in order to validate data before moving it to the oracle interface tables. The data to be migrated is present in a separate data base and we need to move this data to Oracle temp table.
    Can we use DB link to migrate this kind of data(in terms of volume)? Also what are the best practices that need to be followed while importing data to Oracle inventory? Is there any other way that this can be done?
    Please share your thoughts and suggestions on this
    Thanks
    AM

    Hi,
    Some times DB link will fail, Please create custom package and try to interface with legacy system for periodically fetching the data into your tables. If the data is bulk please use API instead of Interface tables.
    Thanks.

  • Query Related to Oracle Inventory

    I have to prepare a report in Oracle Inventory (R12) where I have to extract below fields
    1. Inventory Quantity Sold for previous days and weekly basis etc
    2. Quantity Physically on a shelf at a distribution center but commited to end customer
    3. Quantity transfeerd from one or more distribution center within distributor
    4. Quantity on order with manufacturer but not yet received
    5.Quantity Intransit (Intercompany Transfer to the location)
    But I am unable to derive those fields. Please help me to build the query to fetch those fields.

    should I remove those PGA configuration and make it manually for sort_area,hash_join and workarea policy?Well, it depends on your database.
    First, check statspack/awr and see if you are doing "disk sorts", and check your ratio of nested loop joins to hash joins:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_viewing_cpu_ram_io_costs.htm
    Manual setting "alter session" commands, is, well, manual, and it would be best to let Oracle take care of it, IMHO.
    Hope this helps. . .
