Standby database creation with the Grid Control Wizard.

Has anyone had issues with this tool ? I keep getting 'Failed' with the following error on the step 'Restore One Datafile'
and step 'Restore Current Logs' .
SQL> Connected to an idle instance.
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
All the other steps 'Succeeded' .
We need to make this wizard work since the customer needs the capability and they are NOT going to do a manual setup.
Thanks for any pertinent assistance in advance .

Thanks for any pertinent assistance in advance .Instance status in not even in no mount status, instance not started and no background processes of oracle are running.
You want to restore only datafile? then database should be in mount status.

Physical Standby Database Creation with RMAN

Hi,
I'm in 10g on Linux. I want to create a standby database on another Linux server. I did not find a clear procedure to create it in Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) Part Number B14191-02
and niether in Oracle® Data Guard Concepts and Administration 10g Release 2 (10.2) B14239-04
In the last one chapter 3 sends you to F appendix and F appendix says do nothing before having than all in chapter 3 :
In F.1.1 page F-2 it is said :
See Chapter 3 for a complete discussion of physical standby database preparation,including initialization parameter settings. You must perform all necessary preparation tasks described in these chapters before RMAN can successfully create the standby database files and mount the standby database.
Any way I'm looking for a procedure or clear article to create it.
Many thanks before.

Text: error in identifying control file <name>
Cause: The system could not find a control file of the specified name and
size.
Action: Either
Check that the proper control filename is referenced in the
CONTROL_FILES initialization parameter in the initialization parameter
file and try again.
When using mirrored control files, that is, more than one control file
is referenced in the initialization parameter file, remove the control
filename listed in the message from the initialization parameter file
and restart the instance.
If the message does not recur, remove the problem control file from
the initialization parameter file and create another copy of the
control file with a new filename in the initialization parameter file.

Standby Database Creation in the same Box Oracle 9.2.0.1

Box - Sun Solaris 64 bit
Oracle Version - 9.2.0.1
I have a database called 'sales' in the above box. I want to create a standby database in the same box (in different mount point). This is what I did:
1. took cold backup of all datafiles
2. created standby controlfile
3. updated init file.
-when I tried to start the stabdby db, it is throwing error because the controlfile is confusing with the same db name as the primary ('sales').
My question is: Can I create a standby db in the same box?

Hello,
For keeping the standby database on same HOST....it does seems to be great...i must be on separate box....may be on different network...i believe you would be using it for some failiover purpose...Isn't it.
For Unix it is quite easy..you may implement like this...The Issue which you are referring may be because of wrong Oracle Home or SID....(i'm not very much sure..) You may try following steps:
1. Create a separate Unix A/c and set ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID relevant to your StandBy Database. I believe the Home would be same whereas SID would be your standby databse.
2. Take a Cold Backup of All your database files from Production.
3. Copy these files on separate mount points for standby Db. Put them all to relevant directory and be sure to set the Group of all these files as "SYSDBA" This is Must.
4. And then modify your INIT.ORA file i.e. InitSID.ora file accordingly and put the file in ORACLE_HOME
5. Login to Newly created Unix A/c. Check whether ORACLE_SID is set ot not to your standby database instance.
6. Login to sys as sysdba and start up the database. It will by default would try to check & do for your relevant Oracle SID for this profile...

Alert Log File Monitoring of 8i and 9i Databases with EM Grid Control 10g

Is it possible to monitor alert log errors in Oracle 8i/9i Databases with EM Grid Control 10g and EM 10g agents? If yes, is it possible to get some kind of notification?
I know that in 10g Database, it is possible to use server generated alerts, but what about 8i/9i?
Regards,
Martin

Hello
i am interested in a very special feature: is it possible to get notified if alerts occur in alert logs in an 8i/9i database when using Grid control and the 10g agent on the 8i/9i systems?
Moreover, the 10g agent should be able to get Performance Data using the v$ views or direct sga access without using statspack, right?
Do you know where I can find documentation about the supported features when using Grid Control with 8i/9i databases?

Tns listener with 10g grid control

i have a primary database on site A and a standby database on site B. yesterday the relationship between the 2 was alright with logs being shipped and applied. now my standby is down(probably due to a power failure) and each time i try to start it up i get the following:
Error: ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
This is oracle database 10g rel2 and grid control 10g rel2 sitting on windows xp. I have checked all the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora and do not seem to find anything amiss.
what i need to know is:
1 - are there any issues relating to installing rel2 on win xp?
2 - when enterprise manager looks at the listener, is it the listener on the server with the primary or standby database?
3 - has anybody ever had this issue, if so, what was the resolution?
sincerely
simba

1 There are no more issues compared to other platforms
2 It looks at the listener on the host you specify in tnsnames.ora
3 Look: it is quite simple: too many people post here about common errors they can't seem to resolve themselves, because they don't use already available resources. If you would have simply searched this forum for ora-12505 you would already have read the solution.
Typically, there is no need to ask around whether someone already ran into this. You are not unique, you are not the only one with this problem, and there are FAQs.
ORA-12505 simply means in your tnsnames.ora you are using a SID which doesn't occur in listener.ora
And you would have known this if you would have simply looked up the error in the online documentation. But alas: most people around here never use the documentation, though the Forums Etiquette post (also no one reads) recommends otherwise.

StandBy database creation in oracle 10g

Respected Sir's
I have to create stand by database in oracle 10g i am working on (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod) .Plz any body provide steps required for creating stand by database in oracle10g.Both the database db1 and db2 are running on archivelog.I am confuse how to set archivelog parameter that goes to db2(standby database) from db(primary database).Any one provide me steps to properly configuring the stand by database.
Thanks

Respected Sir
These are the detailed steps that i performed on standby and primary database.
On both the systems i install the oracle in E drive and the database i create in G drive and archive destination also in G drive.
Like G:\prod1\(all the datafiles,logfiles and control file).
G:\arch\(all the archive files).
ON PRIMARY DATABASE(IP:192.168.2.14):
1.First i create a database with DBCA and the database SID is prod1.
2.Put the database in archive mode and also enable the force logging.
3.Shutdown the Primary database and modify the following parameters in pfile.
log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=G:\ARCH'
log_archive_dest_2 = "service=STDBY mandatory reopen=60"
log_archive_dest_state_1 = enable
log_archive_dest_state_2 = enable
log_archive_min_succeed_dest = 2
4.Mount the primary database and create the standby controle file and create the spfile from the modified pfile.
5.Shutdown the primary database and take the backup of all the datafile,logfile,standby controlfile ,passwordfile,pfile in a folder.
6.Startup the primary database.
Tnsname.ora Configuration.
Create the connection string using the Net Manager with name STDBY and in host name i provide the IP address of the standby database.
ON STANDBY DATABASE(IP 192.168.2.9):
Listener.ora Configuration.
Create a listener using the Net configuration Assistance.
1.I copy the datafile,logfile and standby controle file in g:\prod1
2.Copy the E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\prod1 folder from primary database and past it on the same location on the standby database.
3.On standby pfile i change only the standby_archive_dest parameter to g:\arch.
4.Create the service with oradim -SID -NEW prod1 -STARTMODE manuall
5.Start the standby database in nomount mode.
6.Create the spfile from pfile and shutdown the database.
7.Startup the database in nomount mode using spfile.
8.ALTER DATABASE MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE;
These are the occurs when i use tnsping stdby on primary database.

How can i confirm that i have the grid control ?

Hi,

And one more thing , i have the oracle 817 databases , in need to register that database into the GRID . Can any one send me the proper doc. for 817 to install into grid control db.

??? how can i check that ?? What are you looking for exactly? What does "do we have the grid control" mean?
Did you download and install this?
A "default" install comes with three Oracle homes, with directories db10g, oms10g and agent10g in the 'basedir'. Kinda hard to miss...
With proper environment setup, you could try
$ emctl status oms
To manage Targets (as called in EM terms), you would install a Management Agent on each host to start monitoring hosts, listeners, databases, application servers, oc4j instances, and other types of targets. You "add hosts" via addition of agents.
And one more thing , i have the oracle 817 databases
, in need to register that database into the GRID .
Can any one send me the proper doc. for 817 to
install into grid control db.No need to send anything, the documentation is available here on OTN (look in the top menu "shortcuts", Documentation -> Enterprise Manager).
There are several options (version dependent of course) available for deploying agents. But you need a OMS + Repository first.
Further discussion probably belongs in the dedicated Enterprise Manager.

Will Oracle9i Dataguard broker work with Oracle10g Grid control ?

Hello all,
I have recently configured Oracle9i dataguard using Dataguard broker and it's currently working fine but I am not sure if this could be managed with Oracle10g Grid control as it does for Oracle10g dataguard (i.e. Switch-over, Protection mode switching and so on ..)
I would appreciate if anyone could enlighten me further on this as I have not been able to find any proper document to provide me with the appropriate answer .
Thanks..

Ram,
For your JBCL questions:
JBCL 2.0 WILL be included in the production release of JDeveloper
2.0, but will not be visible on the palette by default. You can
add it back in if you really want to use JBCL.
For more info on this decision and why we are recommending Swing,
over JBCL see the post titled 'Which Oracle JDeveloper 2 GUI Lib
for database access' dated March 26. It includes plenty of
detail.
As for your gridControl question:
You can use a picklist with a gridcontrol, but there's not an
'automatic' way to do it (i.e. via the properties sheet). You
need to create a new rowsetinfo object that contains your query
for the picklist. Then bind this rowsetinfo object to a Swing
list control or combobox control. Finally, you need to hook the
list control to the cell of the grid you want the list to appear
in.

Error Configuring Database Instance Properties on Grid Control

Hi All,
My Grid Control is 11.1.0.1.0. I have installed and configured agents on other nodes and the OMS and the monitored Hosts are able to communicate. My problem is when I go to targets/Databases, when I select any database and click configure, I get an error "Error occurred while getting information for the specified target. Possible reasons include: the target doesn't exist; connection to the target failed."
I do not know why I'm getting this error because the agent on the OMS server is running, the agents on the monitored targets are all running and when I check the status, I see the agent is uploading data to OMS. Also When i go to targets/hosts, all the hosts are up.
How can I resolve this problem?
Thank you.

Eric S,
Could be a Firewall issue. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11857_01/install.111/e16847/firewalls.htm#i1005951
Firewalls Between the Grid Control and a Managed Database Target
When you are using the Grid Control Console to manage a database, you must log in to the database from the Grid Control Console in order to perform certain monitoring and administration tasks. If you are logging in to a database on the other side of a firewall, you will need to configure the firewall to allow Oracle Net firewall proxy access.
Specifically, to perform any administrative activities on the managed database, you must be sure that the firewall is configured to allow the Oracle Management Service to communicate with the database through the Oracle Listener port.
You can obtain the Listener port by reviewing the Listener home page in the Grid Control Console.
You can check if Listener port 1521 (if that's the port you are using) is open by:
OMS_HOME/bin/tnsping "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostname)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid)))"
If the database in a DMZ runs on Windows you may want to check note: Oracle Connections and Firewalls [ID 125021.1]
From the OMs-server you can ping the target server by FQDN and short name?

Manual sorting with the Grid Renderer

Hi,
I try to show some taxonomies with the grid renderer.
Generally this is working, but some (not all) folders in this view are in a not very userfrindly order (e.g. folders for month were sortet alphabetically).
For these folders, I activated the manual ordering, but the grid renderer ignores this information completly.
Now I search for some hints to fix this problem.
Best regards,
Manuel

You want to restore only datafile? then database should be in mount status.

Whats the functional difference between dbconole and using the Grid control.

I know this may seem like a strange question, but I was wondering if I only have one instance on my server, would benefit would i gain if I installed and configured the grid control
over the dbconsole that comes with the 11gr2?
I know the Grid control can discover many databases, but what else can it do that the dbconsole cannot?
thanks!

Hi,
Indeed good question.
It depends on installation type you selected. But are responsible for user administration in terms of creating, deleting, updating and role assignment tasks to users and groups.
--CUA is meant for ABAP Installation. CUA is responsible for entire landscape user administration works with RFC connection talking to all ABAP systems
--UME is meant for Java installations, plus UME is responsible for handling communication between ABAP users and java users.
UME

The Grid control installer has inside an Oracle Server ?

Hi
The Grid control installer has inside an Oracle Server to create the Repository Database or I have to install and Oracle Server before ?
Thanks

I have installed both Grid Control and with GC 11g and WebLogic Server and I don't recall creating the respository before the install.
You will have to choose which install you are going to use. Grid Control 11g requires WebLogic Server install.
