RHAS 2.1 with two oracle instances

Hi all,
I need to install two Red Hat Advanced Server boxes with an external Dell RAID Storage. The pourpose of this installation it is to have two oracle instances in high availability. Is it posible ?? Where I can find documentation about this ??
Thank you and sorry for my bad english

Hola
Espero que hables español.
Si, si puedes, pero debes de tener cuidado al manejo de los disco.
Ignoro si LRH AS 2.1 maneje el concepto de Cluster FileSystmes o bien el de Cluster HA.
Te recomiento que instales dos ambientes completamente independientes de HR, co sus herramientas y BD separadas. asi podras mantenerlo mejor.
Si manejas el HA de LRH, define con cuidado las reglas y no olvides los concurrents y listeners.
Espero que esto te ayude, en caso de que tengas preguntas, no dudes en buscarme
Suerte.

ASCP One instance with two source instance

Hi,
We are in a position to work with two source instances and One APS (ASCP) instance (Decentralized).
What are all the setups we need to do in 1. Admin > Instances 2. Profile option and other
Appreciating your valuable answers
- Ramesh

Using administrator responsibility, first create 2 instance partitions.
Then using the instances screen, create the 2 instances. Make sure you have setup the db links prior to that.
Then assign appropriate orgs to the 2 instances.
After that, the remaining setups (such as DC, defining plans etc.) should be repeated for instances.
Hope this answers your question

Question on Oratab file when installing two Oracle instances in one machine

OS: AIX 5.3
DB version:10.2.0.1.0
I already have an instance of version 9.2 which is very important and which we don't want to upgrade and we wanted another test(unimportant) oracle instance called testdb_10gR2 of version 10.2.0.1.0 on the same machine.
So i installed 10.2.0.1.0 on a different ORACLE_HOME .Installation of the new 10.2.0.1.0 (testdb_10gR2) went ahead successfully and at the last step i have to log in as root and execute root.sh
I entered 'n' for the options "dbhome", "oraenv", "coraenv" as shown below so that the settings for our 9.2 instance (which is very important) will remain intact.
What would have happened if i entered 'y' ie. Overwrite ?
The following environment variables are set as:
ORACLE_OWNER= oracle
ORACLE_HOME= /u04/testdb_10gR2_Feb2009
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]: /usr/local/bin
The file "dbhome" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: n
The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: n
The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: n
Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root.sh script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.
During installEdited by: Citizen_2 on Jan 30, 2009 5:05 AM

'dbhome','oraenv','coraenv' are sripts used to set a proper environment (see the descriptions at the beginning of these scripts). These scripts rely on oratab (they check for existing SIDs), but answering 'Y' does not mean you will modifiy an existing oratab.
I think these scripts change rarely, so it's very likely overwriting the existing 9i scripts with the 10g scripts changes nothing. To be honest I don't use the scripts , so in my case 'Y' or 'N' doesn't matter. But important is you don't have to worry about 'oratab'.

Two Oracle Instances

Hi,
We had a SAP Netweaver engine (ABAP stack) installed with Oracle 9i in a server. We wanted to install XI instance in the same machine. So we installed the XI instance with a new Oracle 10g database. Now, we are not able to start the old Oracle server. However we are able to start and stop the new Oracle database.
Can multiple Oracle instances can be installed in the same machine?
Regards,
Venkat

Hi,
yes, they can.
But you have to take care about environment variables.
You have to move Oracle related from system environment variable %PATH% into the %PATH% of corresponding SAP (<sid>adm) user for corresponding Oracle.
Sample:
System Path: ...c:\windows\system32... %OHOME10%\bin;%OHOME9%\bin....
Correct:
System Path: ...c:\windows\system32... - nothing related to %ORACLE_HOME% here
<sid1>adm Path: ... %OHOME10%\bin... etc
<sid2>adm Path: ... %OHOME9%\bin... etc
Then login under <sid1>adm or <sid2>adm correspondingly and make your admin activities.
see also, parts "Multiple Oracle Homes", "Setting Up Multiple Homes" in "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR2 ABAP on Windows: Oracle" installation guide
best regards

Entrps Manger confg with new Oracle Instanc

hi,
how to configure Oracle EM with newly created Oracle Instance on Oracle 10g DB,which is Single Instance DB but not RAC ,when I start the Oracle EM it is starting the default DB which created during Oracle Server Installation
thanks

generally im specfiying it in c:\documents and settings\Program, but im installing it from c:\documents and settings\my documents\software.
I got another verson of Orcle, ive downladed the developer sute 10g, in this case the college where i go to use, it to connect. so i expect i will have to really uninstll that and the instll in Oracle Enterprise 10g.

Balancing with two portal instances

We are planning on having two portal instances on s Sun T2000. Initially we will not have a load balancer in front of them. We have decided to do this for redundancy and maintenance (when one is being patched, the portal is still up). Would we still have the default install of webcache in each portal instance and configure each one of them do software load balancing?

Hi,
>> 3) Another option is to install WebCahce stand alone on a separate machine..and use it from both Portal instances. Redundancy here is recommended too. Then, you can cluster the stand alone instances as well.
I would defenitely recommend this option over the others. We did try various other options - but, we noticed that in other cases the Portlet Session was reset when the application flow hopped fro one system to another.
We were able to resolve it with a cconfiguration similar to the one mentioned above.

Problem with two OC4J instances in Oracle 10g AS

hi all,
i am using windows XP(OS), Oracle 10g Application Server.
when i create two instances of OC4j other than home instance, say instance1 and instance2 and deploy two different applications in two instances then i get "page not found" error.
both the applications gets deployed successfully and different ports get selected for both applications internally.
the thing is when i stop one of the above instance, say instance1 the instance2 works fine and doesnt throw an error. the moment i start instance 1 both the instance gives the above stated error.
Can anyone help??
thanks in advance!!

Also, I am opening the sub-page from the parent page (through a hyperlink). Then in this case, Would session will be changed from parent to subpage? (I am not aware exactly and have the impression that, as the second page is a child, I guess it would take the same session).I'm not sure what "sub-page" or "parent page" means to you. If you're just linking from one page to another, "parent" and "child" don't really make sense since page A links to page B and B links to A quite frequently.
Assuming that you have to log in to access the site, it is likely that the two pages share the same middle tier application session. It is unlikely that the middle tier would hold the database session from the first request open waiting to see if the user eventually requested the second page. It is theoretically possible that you could code your middle tier this way but it is extremely unlikely that you would want to do so for a variety of reasons. So, when you say "would [the] session ... be changed", it is likely that the application session would be the same for both calls but that the database session would be different.

Best approach to transfer and transform data between two Oracle Instances

Let me first preface this post with the fact that I am an Oracle newb.
The current problem I am trying to solve is how to quickly transfer data from a customers legacy database into a new normalized destination that is modeled differently than the legacy data. So, the data not only has to be transferred, but also transformed (into normalized tables)
We have discovered, the hard way, that reading the data using a C++ application and performing inserts (even with indexing and constraints disabled) is just way too slow for what we need. We are dealing with around 20 million records here. I need to determine what the best approach extracting this data out of the source and inserting it into the destination. Any comments or tips are greatly appreciated.
Note: I have read about SQL*Loader and mentioned it to management, but they seem resistant to this approach. It's not totally out of the question though.

Oracle has a lot of technologies that fall under the general heading of "replication" to choose from. Going from a database to a flat file and back to another database is generally not the most efficient solution-- it's generally much easier to go straight from one database to another.
Oracle provides materialized views, Streams, and Change Data Capture (CDC)-- any of these would be able to give your new system incremental feeds of data from the old system's data and could be used by whatever routines you write to transform the data between data models.

Two Oracle databases on one AIX Server - Note working, Pls Help

Dear Friends,
I have installed Two SAP systems with Two Oracle Databases on one AIX machine, The Installation of both the systems went fine without any errors, and also i have been able to login to both the systems seperately. (that means i cant start both the systems at a time, its one at a time)
But the problem is of the Oracle Listener, i am not able to start both the systems with single Oracle Listener processes(tnslistener). I tried all the possible scenarios as mentioned in note 98252 but nothing seems to be of any use so far.
the thing is i can start either one of the SAP Systems, But my objective is to start both the SAP Systems with one listener processes (LISTENER) and one listener port (1527)
Or
you can say i am also ready to keep two different listeners for TWO seperate Oracle databases, I tried doing so as per one of the sap notes in which you have to keep different names of listener and different numbers for listener port for second ORACLE database. I tried doing exactly mentioned in the note but yet unsuccessful...
Now i am completely lost as what is to be done since its critical i want you to immediately look into it and suggest me the appropriate solution so that i can set up both of my DEVELOPMENT and QUALITY system running...
To troubleshoot this if you require anything from my side then please feel free to ask me since our functional consultants have to soon start working on the SAP systems.
Regards
Ayush

The note you specified talk about 2 database instances not 2 databases... (I was starting to wonder how you deploy 2 databases), you can have multiple database instances on a DB. The note also give you detailed explanation of the configuration of listener.ora
Now, if this is the case and you have installed 2 instances (not databases) on the same host and configured the listener according to the note, then you should be able to call R3trans -d from both SID's.. if the R3trans fails please post the contents of trans.log here.
the thing is i can start either one of the SAP Systems, But my objective is to start both the SAP Systems with one listener processes (LISTENER) and one listener port (1527)
Then, the configuration of your listener.ora file must be incorrect.

How much pain does registering two Oracle Testing Id Cause to everyone?

Reading the forum over the last 8 months or so seems apparent to me that if a candidate has two (or more!) Oracle Testing Id's and takes exams under both then problems will result as certifications will not be generated untill all pre-requisite passes are under the same Oracle Testing Id. (For those having taken exams under Prometric their Oracle Testing Id has been set to their old Prometric Id.)
the pain this caused in the old Prometric days is mentioned on the Oracle Certification Blogs Here [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2008/09/one_plus_one_zero_when_it_come.html] (dont follow the procedure there .. its out of date).
The procedure for sorting this still remains a merge, however now through Pearson VUE. The procedure is not directly on Support FAQs [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=82#5Q1A] though would indirectly be covered by (I have not received my success kit what do I do?). The procedure required is however authoratively mentioned at {message:id=3923313}. However as can be seen in the rest of the thread {thread:id=991553} there appears to be occasions when some Pearson Personnel VUE appear to not realise they are responsible for initiating the merge and sometimes the merge man may be on holiday (or maybe off on stress through the number of merge's perhaps?)
Thus the candidate with two Oracle Testing Id's has a possibility (maybe even likelihood) of pain further down the line in getting it sorted. But as far as I am aware it is usually sorted ... though it may take a while. Pain to Candidate.
Oracle and Pearson VUE have pain through this as well. There is a support cost dealing with the Oracle Testing Id Merge. Not just in authenticating and performing the merge but also when the query comes as a problem but the root cause is found to be multiple Oracle Testing Ids. While this does give support teams an opportunity to perform the net effect is increased costs for Oracle/Pearson VUE - which means reduced profits or perhaps more likely increased exam costs for everyone - in other words a pain for everyone.
Basically no one wins on this.
Why does it happen? I'll exclude why people have had multiple Prometric Id's (Oracle Testing Id's) for exams taken under Prometric. What was done under Prometric has been done.
However under Pearson VUE why might this happen?
If I start off at the linke [http://www.pearsonvue.com/Oracle] - Click on My Account - then the Link Create a new web account a form is presented:
The key part of this form is in the Previous Testing History Frame :
Please provide the following information.
     Have you tested with Oracle Certification Program before?
     (*) No, this will be my first time testing with Oracle Certification Program.
     (*) Yes, I have tested with Oracle Certification Program before.
           Enter your Oracle Testing ID, if available:If people answer NO to this question and subsequently then need/request an Oracle Testing Id Merge in my opinion they should be charged for this. This is a blatant mistruth. I suspect some people may rush to get regsitered and take the exam and or care about the registration details; or are happy for it to be sorted afterwards rather than getting the Oracle Testing Id. Sorted now.
HOWEVER:
- There needs to be a further email just in case they has the wrong button selected by mistake, so after registering the fact there has been no oracle testing needs to be confirmed. I believe, because of form design, there may be a signifcant chance of this happening.
- There also needs to be indications that if two Pearson VUE Oracle Accounts have been created then subsequently different exams have been passed on each then merging will incur a cost. This is just slopiness by the registrant.
If the people answer yes; but make a mistake in the Oracle Testing Id, they hopefully that would be picked up.
IF people answer yes, but leave the Oracle Testing Id blank, hopefully Pearson is on top of getting it sorted and not let the issue propogate. The effects of leaving this blank as unclear to me, and I hope good procedures are in place for handling it.
There is also IMHO a big issue here that it is not obvious from this page that canididates should enter their old Prometic Testing Id here.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In summary I believe people having mulitple Oracle Testing Id's hurts us all, and to prevent this I would suggest a charge for merge where a candidate have incorrectly siad they have not done Oracle Testing before and where they have a had clear chance to correct this in the event the relevant form radio button has flipped without them noticing.
But I also believe Pearson VUE could probably do a couple of minor changes to procedures, pages and boilerplates to reduce the chances of problems occuring. I think some problems could be stopped before they start.
Notes:
(1) Any pages referenced are by myself from UK at time of post. Sometimes from other countries they can be different

I'd just like to add to this that one poster {message:id=4029960} appears not to have given a Oracle Testing ID when registering with Pearson VUE and that Pearson VUE appears to have located it for him. I assume he indicated he had tested previously and presumably his profile details matched those held by Oracle from Prometric. This appears to be a single (unverified) instance of this working correctly; and the candidate not ending up with multiple Oracle Testing Ids'.

Who can tell me how to make up two oracle as mirror pair

who can do me favor to tell me where to start? appreciate at first.

clarify what I mean that I want two oracle instance can backup automaticaly at anytime,rather than I do exp/imp by myself. I need not redirect automaticaly at this layer.
thanks

Memory and CPU load for one Oracle instance

I need to design a database server with 5 oracle instances.
Each instance have only 2 or 3 connected application users and the rate of transactions is about 10 transactions/hour.
How can I estimate to total memory and CPU needed for my server ?
The minimum esimation : 2x2Ghz and 2Go of RAM per instance is it pertinent ?

DominikThough the picked specs look okay but the better answer, as being mentioned already, would be "it depends" . At this moment, almost all the machines are coming with very good specs so 2gb probably would be the least . You can even have a 4gb RAM system with x86_64 architecture , leaving room for future growth if needed. About setting the memory for the SGA, if the release is 11g, setting the Memory_Target would take care of the the memory allocation for both SGA and PGA and you can start by the default that Oracle picks which I guess is about 40% of the total RAM. Afterwards, you can monitor the performance and can bring down the memory settings if you feel its overly allocated.
That said, I think that this is a question better answered by the capacity planning and management people. I shall see if I can ask my friend, who is in this domain to comment on it.
Just my 2 cents.

Two OracleDatabase Instances on OracleWDB

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to have two Oracle instances using the same port on Oracle WebDB.
Thanks

What problem are you having?
You should be able to use DBCA to create another database called F11. Am I missing something in your question?

Oracle service with two instances

I have for some reason (maybe related to my experimenting with rman?) found myself with two instances running from the same service. I cannot conect now, as I get the ORA- 12560 TNS protocol adapter error.
I checked lsnrctl and see this:
Services Summary...
Service "PLSExtProc" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "PLSExtProc", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "dan.doad" has 2 instance(s).
Instance "dan", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Instance "dan", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "danXDB.doral" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "dan", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
IS this a reason why I am getting the error?
I am 9.2. I have checked tnsnames.ora, I have stopped and restarted services.
Thanks.

Dan, the first list of the listener status is fine.
Does the target db have a password file configured? If not, you cannot connect as using sysdba remotely.
The first connect is just a normal connection as user system who normally has the DBA role and is different from signing on like sqlplus "system as sysdba"
