Setting up test environment for EBS

Hi all !
We have r12 setup on RHEL 5.7 servers with SAN storage and 11.1.0.7 database. What are the best practices for setting up test environment for testing patches, fixes, etc. ? Should the test env be an exact replica of the production setup ? What if we can no more get the same hardware as our prod env now (due to technology enhancements from the vendors, etc.) ?
Thanks in advance !

Vinod

VinodYour TEST/Patch instance does not necessarily need to match your production in terms of hardware specs. However, you need to make sure you are running on the same OS and updates. UAT instance is the one that needs to be running on a hardware which is identical (or very close) to production.
Please see old threads for similar topic/discussion.

Recommendation for setting up Data Guard for EBS R12 12.1.3

Hello Experts,
I would like to get some experts opinion and recommendation on setting up Data GUARD for EBS R12.1.3 running on Linux based systems.
Firstly I would wanna let you all know that I am just geek in this subject matter so do excuse me for any mistakes.
While we are planning on setting up Data Gurad fro R12 what are the best practices to consider ?.
We have 2 node rac enabled database and would wanna have non-rac based physical standby, based on this I believe that having db tier on remote or standby site is enough ?
if db node is enough for standby location what are things to be done when a fail over / switch over / role transitioned to standby for the app node from primary site to point db on the
standby location or do we have to have both apps and db tier @ stand by location
--However having a apps tier/node at standby will be of no use as we are planing to run db on mounstate meaning not a active data guard setup.
Please do reply with your recommendation/suggestions/pointers
Thanks in Advance.

Any one know what may be causing this issue? Do we have to do additional setup for SOA gateway after the standard install of the OVM? I tried to follow the steps in the note above but I do not see any entry for "<jdbc_url oa_var="s_apps_jdbc_connect_descriptor"/>" in the file data-sources.xml.
Anyone have any ideas?Have you reviewed these docs?

Setting the runtime environment for MySQL & creating tables,compile query

Hi....
i am a new user of MySQL server.i don't know the Rutime Environment on my machine.so please tell me how can i set the environment for MySQL.
How can i create tables & compile query please tell me?

All of those are MySQL only questions. Nothing to do with JDBC.
There are MySQL forums. And there is certainly lots of MySQL documentation. So what of that have you read?

Hi Sakthi,
That depends on the requirement of your testing.I would recommend you Min 4GB RAM (If it includes RAC testing) too.

Stress test tool for EBS

Hi Hsawwan, other EBS APPS dba's!
We are trying to predict some performance according future load on EBS. This is classic stress test techniques. We want to automate stress on APPS side and run some requests and forms as well....
With "Load runner" we have unsolvable problems....
What can we use for that?

Issue with Setting Up Test Server for PHP/MySQL to work

I've got a few newbie issues
which I hope someone can help with!
I'm trying to get Security Assist to work, so I've put MYSQL and workbench on my computer to get it going. I haven't created a test server in PHP, because I'm wondering if it will affect my already running website ftp? Will it take down my company website if I create a test server with the same ftp as my website?
So, I created a model in workbench (table) and I've tried to connect mysql to dreamweaver. I keep getting an error when I try to connect!
Despite the error saying an error has occurred..I have something which looks like a plus (+) sitting in my database area on DW, but it says there's no tables there! And in mysql there is a table!
I'm a bit bloody lost to tell you the truth. Just changing the password on mysql to get going was horrendous.
Anybody have a solution to get me going, so that my tables are sitting nicely in my dW and can be connected to my SA (Security Assist).
Ugh!

The first question: on what platform? Windows - Mac?
I only succeeded in setting up a testing server on my Mac
with PHP and MySQL after reading a book of David Powers. On Leopard
I belief there still are problems connecting PHP to MySQL.

Setting up an Environment for Anonymous Site

Hi,
I have a requirement like have to create a public site with anonymous acces
have created one web application and extended to internet zone and made it as Anonymous access
First web application will be by Winodws authentication and second web application will anonymous access.
My questions are here as follows
1. we are using publsihing site template for the site, this is scenario like documents and list item will be added using windows athuentication and once list item and document approved and than it should be visisble to the Anonymous
users. Please suggest what will be best approach?
3. After extending the web, even after applying anonymous access it is still prompting for credentials
4. Required to set an AAM for two webs individually. How to Configure AAM?
Thanks and regards
Suman.

You done the right thing, you need to enable the publishing feature on your site (if not enabled earlier) which enables that only published content will be shown to the anonymous users.
If you are still getting prompts for credentials then it means your content is not published properly, make sure you have published all pages, images, js and css files properly, because if any thing is not published properly then you get a prompt to enter
credentials.
For alternate access mapping, I suggest you to go through below articls:

Test environment for exchange servers

Hi All,
We are consulting company and I want to learn exchange functionality. Do you think I will be able to test it? Does oracle has any test exchange server environment? How do I get neccessary registration done on oracle.exchange?

Thanks DareDevil57.   Here is the output of the command you requested I run:

I have removed the downed server from the DAG, but cannot re-add it because we are only allowed two server in the environment. I'll have to lookup how to update the catalog. I read through Paul's post, but the only responses I was getting when
running the commands was that because there is only one copy of the database on the server.
I'll let you know how it goes with updating the catalog. Let me know if you think of anything else.

Setting up Logic Environment for EWI-EVI / beginner

Greetings - I have a Yamaha EWI-EVI (wind controller, usb midi only - no sound module) that I would like to use as input to my Logic Studio.
The data stream it generates includes standard note on and off messages, to which Logic responds appropriately. The "volume" control is sent as two-byte (cc?) messages, with the second byte encoding the desired volume, 1-127. (Looks like they actually come in pairs of messages - the first message uses '2' as the first byte, and 2nd message has null as the first byte. Both have volume info in the second data byte) If I use a "Transform Op2" fader on the C-press input, I can extract the air pressure data and the fader moves accordingly, but I can't figure out how to mix the fader's 'out' back into the rest of the data stream so that these data control the volume of the sound that the mapped software instrument generates. The pitch and pitchbend (biting pressure) information are handled appropriately without any transformations.
Bonus questions: How can I limit this pitch processing only to the EWI, and not other MIDI instruments? (It's just me, so it's sorta moot, but I'm curious.) Also, how do I map the output of the EWI to a specific software instrument in the Arrange window, rather than whichever one happens to be highlighted?
Quick Product Review: For those interested in a cheap wind controller, I like this device. I played briefly decades ago, and have picked it up pretty quickly again. The Aria software that comes with has samples of many instruments that are very good, but I wouldn't say outstanding. On the whole, it is a very good value to add a tool to your MIDI arsenal, especially if you have experience with any of several wind instruments (e.g., sax, flute, bassoon) - there's no exact match for clarinet mapping. On the downside, modifying the hardware/firmware settings can be extremely unreliable and fussy, as of v.1.0.5 or 6, depending on where you look. Have wasted hours trying to get the device fully responsive again. Once, it's working, it plays well (if you can live without tactile feedback from the keys). Best just to control it with your sequencer software ... which is why I write.
Thanks for the help. Copies of replies directly to logicuser at discountethics (period) com appreciated.

The "volume" control is sent as two-byte (cc?) messages, with the second byte encoding the desired volume, 1-127. (Looks like they actually come in pairs of messages - the first message uses '2' as the first byte, and 2nd message has null as the first byte.
Can you give example message strings? If' it's just standard CC volume messages, it should have a CC status (I forget what that is offhand), a MIDI channel (0-15), a controller number (6), and a data value (0-127)
but I can't figure out how to mix the fader's 'out' back into the rest of the data stream so that these data control the volume of the sound that the mapped software instrument generates.
Cable all the outputs back to a new instrument object - untick it's icon, make sure it's not channeliseing or changing anything - this dummy object will just merge all the streams back into one before sending it elsewhere. Or am I misunderstanding you?
How can I limit this pitch processing only to the EWI, and not other MIDI instruments?
On the Click & Ports environment layer, instead of taking a feed from the "SUM" output of the physical input object (ie, the sum of all MIDI ports arriving to Logic), just take a feed from the MIDI port the EWI is on. You can use transformers to further choose only a particular channel for procesing on that port, if necessary.
Cabling from one of the other ports removes that stream from the SUM output.
Also, how do I map the output of the EWI to a specific software instrument in the Arrange window, rather than whichever one happens to be highlighted?
This is how Logic is supposed to work - you can choose which instrument to play be selecting it's track. If you always want to play one instrument, in the environment you can cable it there directly - however, as this MIDI stream is bypassing the sequencer, you won't be able to record it.
Quick Product Review: For those interested in a cheap wind controller, I like this device. I played briefly decades ago, and have picked it up pretty quickly again.
Hehe - me too. I played flute for a few years back when I was about 12, and can still roughly play and remember the fingerings (which are fairly adaptable to many wind instruments).

Setting up the environment for a WebLogic Ant task

The documentations always starts:
1.. On Windows NT, execute the setWLSEnv.cmd command, located in the
directory WL_HOME\server\bin, where WL_HOME is the top-level directory of
your WebLogic Server installation.
2.. On UNIX, execute the setWLSEnv.sh command, located in the directory
WL_HOME/server/bin, where WL_HOME is the top-level directory of your
WebLogic Server installation.
How much of what's in those bat files (or sh files on UNIX) do I actually
need? Can I set the environment in Ant without calling the batch files --
i.e. no system environment variables?
TIA,
Robert Snyder

Being a JBoss geek I cannot let it pass to recommend to at least investigate JBoss 7.1 as a possible alternative to Glassfish :)
Also MySQL works fine and is very common and thus very much documented, which is a big plus. But I would not pass up the chance to look into PostgreSQL as well. To me that is basically the perfect balance between the simplicity of MySQL and the power of an Oracle DBMS.
It depends on what you want to do with it of course, a simple web application works perfectly fine on MySQL, but then you probably also don't need the horsepower of a full enterprise container. You can also just use Tomcat 7 which is fast, easy to setup, well documented and doesn't use up so many resources either.

Local test Environment for DW CS4

Hi,
I'm a novice to this. So please be patient with me.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 and also installed on my PC XAMPP for windows.
I'd like to practice with DW by taking someone's CSS Template and adopt it to my needs: both Text and Graphics.
Please explain how my design(changes) to template would interact with the XAMMP and what are the best ways to get the most out of this learning experiense.
Thank you, Ben

Hi,
I perhaps did not express myself well by posting the question. What I'm really asking is how to use local( my PC) server before going to the real remote one. What are the procedures of using it while practicing with a template.
Thanks, Ben

Set up testing environment

To whom it may concern:
I have oracle Database 10g and JDeveloper 10g full version.
I also have a complete development web site similar to content manager, written in java.
the following files are:
.profile for database connection.
content.war
dbContent.prop
"content" folder directory for webApp.
However, i do not know what i should do to deploy the package.

Hi,
select the project and choose "New" from the context menu. In the dialog, select deployment profile and choose e.g. EAR to deploy your application. The deployment profile that gets created is an entry in teh project. Right mous click on it and choose properties to see and edit its content (which should be fine min most cases).
Use this entry to deploy your project as an EAR file or directly to OracleAs, OC4J or 3rd party application servers

Exchange Server 2010 SP3 test environment - email flow to/from internet

Today I set up test environment for Exchange Server 2010 SP3 - domain controller running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Exchange Server 2010 SP3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and client computer running Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 with Outlook Pro 2010 x64. These
machines are VMs on vSphere 5.0 cluster made of 4 esxi 5.0 hosts.
I have three years of experience in working with Exchange Server 2010 in my production environment but until recently I have not had enough resources to build a test environment. Does "testing" Exchange Server 2010 infrastructure have
a real life purpose considering the fact that only internal email flow is possible since authoritative SMTP accepted domain is not hosted anywhere thus not visible to outside world. This limited email flow combined with absence of possibility to test
ActiveSync, Outlook Anywhere, OWA from WAN, . . . really hurt and make Exchange Server rare technology that can not be tested completely before introducing something new into the production. Services that are not possible to test from the outside world are
useless and whole point of Exchange-like technologies is availability from anywhere and from whatever device.

I set up Internet Send Connector (by default this type of send connector uses DNS MX records to route email automatically). Having sent an email to my gmail account I did not receive it and in transport logs I saw that mx record was found successfully
but there is the following line:
2014-08-05T20:39:51.942Z,Internet Connector,08D17F000FE36010,1,,2a00:1450:4013:c01::1b:25,*,,"Failed to connect. Error Code: 10051, Error Message: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network 2a00:1450:4013:c01::1b:25"
I tried also to send an email to my production email address (we have Symantec Messaging Gateway which is used as a smart host (antispam,antimalware,content filter appliance)) but then error is:
2014-08-05T20:50:08.395Z,Internet Connector,08D17F000FE36019,1,,91.238.7.10:25,*,,"Failed to connect. Error Code: 10061, Error Message: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 91.238.7.10:25"
Telnet from test exchange to 91.238.7.10 on port 25 also is not working.
