ASM resource online and ASM idle instance

Hi all,
SO..........: CentOS 5.8 32bits (VM - VirtualBox)
Oracle...: 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0)
On my test environment, i have a VM running Oracle Clusterware and 2 11g instances. The problem is: The ASM service appears online (through ./crsctl status resource -t, see below), but when a try to connect to the ASM instance as sysasm, it shows me that the instance is idle, and if i try to startup it, the message "ORA-15149: another ASM instance found running on the host" is shown to me.
--output of ./crsctl status resource -t

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just one thing that i saw in my recent tests. I restarted CRS (crsctl stop | start resource -all), and the asm service (ora.asm) was back online, both target and state, as you can see below:
[root@VM-Cent5 bin]# ./crsctl status resource -t

O10G idle instance

When I set oraenv to O10G and use sqlplus /nolog, connect / as sysdba, it always says Connected to an idle instance. However, when I do sqlplus sys/oracle@O10G as sysdba, I get connected to either O10G1. Is this normal or did I miss something?
Thanks

I am learning how to install and run oracle on linux.I have installed it on centOS 4.2 together with a startup general purpose database.I want to log in and I'm giving $sqlplus / as sysdba .It does not show anything about being connected to Oracle 10g but instead it brings up only 3lines 1. SQL*Plus Release info 2. Copyright info and 3.Connected to an idle instance .Thereafter it brings the sql prompt. A command startup pops two lines of errors after that. 1. Ora-01078: Failure in processing system parameters
2. LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/oracle/10g/dbs/initrpc.ora'
rpc in initrpc is my SID, oracle is my base and oracle/10g is my home. I have set the necessary variables in /home/oracle/.bash_profile and parameters in sysctl.conf and refreshed the settings with /sbin/sysctl -p command.
Help.I am following a tutorial on http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/50?page=0%2C4 and that's the page I am stuck on.

QMaster only showing 1 instance for i5 macbook pro

QMaster is only showing 1 instance for core i5 macbook pro. This is a dual core i5.
So still, I can only use one core. It only shows 50% of the preocessor being used and 50% is Idle in Activity monitor.
Long render times. Like 18 hours of render for 90 minutes of video 720 HD in Compressor.
So when I press "Share" for Compressor in QMater the "Options for Selected Service" is greyed out and only set to 1 instance.
Thanks

OK so back to Compressor. I am using Compressor and it is only USING 50% of the computer according to my Activity Monitor. Any thoughts?
When I look at my Windows computer it has a duel core system as well and uses 98% of the the processor according to its' monitor.
If you can't think of anything, that's cool, but just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue. Just wanting to chit chat. I don't really think I need to get a hulk deskop computer when Apple advertises that I can upgrade to a Quadcore (8 virtual core) macbook pro and be fine with that. Although I am using just the i5 duel core right now.

How to show next instance of Recuring Event in Calendar List View

We have a calendar that we are using to display upcoming events. However we are unable to get a clean output of next instance date for recurring events such as paydays or monthly meetings. As opposed to showing next instance it shows the date
the event was originally put in the calendar.
I am guessing it will take a custom script, but I don't even know where to begin with that.

Hi Swen,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display the recurring events as separated events in the calendar list view.
I recommend to create a Standard View, with Expanded Recurring Events for the calendar list,
and each instance of a recurring event will be showing in this view.
More reference:

Best regards.

BPEL Console doesn't show any instances created

Hi,
We are using file protocol to read the files from trading partner into B2B. File is successfully processes by B2B. I can see that in reports.
Then I have defined a BPEL process to Dequeue the messages from B2B using AQ Adapter, transforms and places the files in the local file system.
The BPEL process is simple flow with one receive , transform and invoke activity.
I have configured AQ adapter using WSIF browser. I can see the deployed document definition in browser.
I have the TP agreement deployed, BPEL process deployed, but I don't see the 850 file processed. BPEL Console doesn't show any instances created. How would I know where what went wrong?
Please help.

Try using java oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.data.IPDequeue to dequeue the message and see if you can dequeue
Then you'l be able to pin point if the issue is with your BPEL or with B2B Queue's

thanks all, I was able to solve the issue. it was indeed a port no , which caused this issue.

Unable to Login to Idle Instance from SQL*Plus in windows

Hello,
I'm cloning the db from windows to windows enviornment. At auxilary instance after configuring the Listener and making Password file to right folder when I try to connect to Idle Instance through sql*plus by follwring connad
c:\sqlplus sys/password as sysdba
It gives me ORA-12518 Tns: Listener could not hand off client conenction error
Then I put the follwing parameter in listener.ora DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF and restart listener and then try to connect it gives me Ora-12560: TNS protocol adapter error.
I try to connect through tnsnames but give me same error.
Kindly tell me how to resolve this issue as its not allowing me to connect to an idle instance so that I can go further.
I'm using 10gR2 on windows server 2003.
Regards,
Abbasi

follow the steps to clone database:
# 1. Backup the source database.
To use RMAN duplicate an RMAN backup of the source database is required. If there is already one available, skip to step 2. If not, here is a quick example of how to produce an RMAN backup. This example assumes that there is no recovery catalog available:
rman target sys@<source database> nocatalog
RMAN>backup database plus archivelog ;
RMAN> backup archivelog all;
This will backup the database and archive logs.
# 2. Produce a pfile for the new database
This step assumes that the source database is using a spfile. If that is not the case, simply make a copy the existing pfile.
Connect to the source database as sysdba and run the following:
create pfile='init<new database sid>.ora' from spfile;
This will create a new pfile in the $ORACLE_HOME/database directory.
The new pfile will need to be edited immediately. If the cloned database is to have a different name to the source, this will need to be changed, as will any paths. Review the contents of the file and make alterations as necessary.
Because in this example the cloned database will reside on the same machine as the source, Oracle must be told how convert the filenames during the RMAN duplicate operation. This is achieved by adding the following lines to the newly created pfile:
db_file_name_convert=(<source_db_path>,<target_db_path>)
log_file_name_convert=(<source_db_path>,<target_db_path>)
# 3. Create bdump, udump & cdump directories
Create bdump, udump & cdump directories as specified in the pfile
# 4. Create a service
c:/>oradim –new –sid <clonedatabasename> –intpwd <pwd>
eg:
c:>oradim –new –sid clonedb –intpwd oracle
# 6. Duplicate the database
From sqlplus, start the instance up in nomount mode:
startup nomount
Exit sqlplus, start RMAN and duplicate the database. As in step 1, it is assumed that no recovery catalog is available. If one is available, simply amend the RMAN command to include it.
rman target sys@<source_database> nocatalog auxiliary /
duplicate target database to <clone database name>;
thats it
For RMAN Cloning refer:
follow the documentation replace the destinations/locations with your location/folder/destination in source and target database.

SAP management console doesnt show any instances

Hi,
I installed CE recently and it seemed to be working fine. But today I have been running into trouble with the SAP management console. When I open the SAP management console it shows no instances and is empty. I tried to start the server from SAP Netweaver Composition Environment 7.1 > Application server J01 (CE1) > Start Application Server and it fails also giving me this message
===================================================
============== Starting System CE1 ================

And surprisingly I am not able to see any logs for today, The last I can view them for is when I tried to start the application yesterday.
I also tried to go through the composition tool set up again where it could lead me to a screen to start the server , but had no luck , it didnot give me any information about the CE instances at all.
Any help in this regard would be really appreciated it.
Thanks so much

Roopa

Hi Roopa,
Follow this...
Execute sapstartsrv.exe from one of the following paths
fill with your system details, select your START profile
from \usr\sap\<SID>\PROFILE\START*, use your Service user and password (your as <hostname>\SAPService<Sid>)
\usr\sap\<sid>\SYS\exe\uc\NTI386
\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run
Now Check MMC
Thanks & Regards,
