When cloning the 11 DB, difference between dbconfig and running autoconfig?

Hi,
Doing 11i cloning. I never used to use autoconfig on the db tier, just recreate the control file, open the db, get the listener running, and only otherwise use apps autoconfig.
I still have to recreate the controlfile by hand, since using hot backups, so for the db cloning portion I am now using dbtechstack (initially), then recreate the control file, apply the archive logs, open the database, and then run perl adcfgclone.pl dbconfig (xml file)as per app. B of MOS 230672.1.
Now when I just ran perl dbconfig, I was having some issues. I normally specify the XML file, but this time left it blank to let it ask me the
questions. Anyway, it asked the questions, then started re-createing the controfile and hosed my db, which I am restoring now.
If I specify the xml file (that appears to be good from dbtechstack above)-- will it NOT then try to recreate the controlfile? I am afraid
to run dbconfig again -- since it could mean another restore and I don't have time.
As an alternative, what I have done in the past ... is this (instead of dbconfig) as the db user.
1. relink oracle
2. relink all
3. run autocfg.sh for the db (ie regular, garden-variety autoconfig for the db, not dbconfig).
In the past this alternative has worked well when I've not used db autoconfig at all for the clone, and want to get autoconfig
running on the db tier, and it has been a while since I cloned.
So my question is -- is dbconfig with the specification of the xml file the same as a relink + regular db autoconfig?
The reason I am asking, is that sometimes by not strictly following note 230672.1 my cloned db's have some wierd issues that show up in patching.
Thanks marv

If I specify the xml file (that appears to be good from dbtechstack above)-- will it NOT then try to recreate the controlfile? I am afraidIt will not create the controlfiles for you and you still need to recreate it manually.
So my question is -- is dbconfig with the specification of the xml file the same as a relink + regular db autoconfig?Correct (remember to run the library update script once you open the database).
In addition to (230672.1 - Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i with Rapid Clone), please see (Cloning Oracle Application 11i /R12 with Rapid Clone - Database (9i/10g/11g) Using Hot Backup on Open Database [ID 760772.1]).
The reason I am asking, is that sometimes by not strictly following note 230672.1 my cloned db's have some wierd issues that show up in patching.What kind of issues?

  • What are the major differences between BODS and Talend ?

    Hi Friends,
    We had a client meeting 2 days back regarding BODS project, But our client is showing more interest on Talend. We have explained/demo him on BODS.  Could any one please tell me, What are the major differences between BODS and Talend ? What are the features of BODS which are not there in TELEND ?
    Thanks,
    Bheem.

    Hi,
    If you talk difference than Talend is an open source. SAP DS as huge advantage when it comes to loading data into SAP and it is more flexible with lots of inbuilt features and easy to load data into SAP using DS directly and extracting data from various legacy systems.

  • What is the fundamental difference between classful and classless routing?

    Hello to all,
    After reading several RFCs, guides and HOWTOs I am confused by an apparently trivial question - what is the basic, fundamental difference between classful and classless routing?
    I am well aware that - said in a very primitive way - the classful routing does not make use of netmasks and instead uses the address classes while the classless routing utilizes the netmasks and does not evaluate the address classes.
    However, already in 1985 the RFC 950 (Internet Standard Subnetting Procedure) stated that the networks can be further subnetted using the network mask. Since then the routers are expected to use network masks in the routing decision process in the precise way they use it nowadays. However, if the routers use network masks they are doing the classless routing, aren't they? Where is then the difference if we used to describe the 80's way of routing as a classful routing? Or was it already the classless routing? The RFCs about CIDR came gradually only in 1992 and 1993.
    If somebody could give me an insight into the key difference between classful and classless routing (and perhaps into the Internet history, how was the real routing done then) I would be most grateful.
    Thank you a lot!
    Regards,
    Peter

    Hello Mohammed,
    I am afraid we still have not understood each other ;) I am not looking for the algorithms used to select the best path. I am well aware of them, both Ford-Bellman and Dijkstra, and about their internals. By the way, these algorithms do not have any influence whether the routing is classful or classless because they deal with metrics, not with masks. For example, a classless EIGRP internally uses a distance-vector algorithm, not a SPF algorithm.
    I will try to explain once more what is my problem... There are two terms commonly used but badly defined: the classless routing and classful routing. Originally, I have thought that the classful routing works as follows:
    - The routing table consists only of classful destination networks (major nets), metrics and respective gateways. No network masks are stored in the table because we are classful, that is, we use exclusively the route classes and all entries in the routing table are already classful.
    - When routing a packet, the router looks at its destination IP address and determines the major net of this IP address (that is, the classful network that this IP address belongs to). Then it looks up the corresponding entry in the routing table and sends the packet to the respective gateway.
    I thought that the classful routing works in this way. I won't describe the classless routing - both of us know how do the today's routers select the next hop.
    However, in the RFCs 917 and 950 which were published in 1985, long ago before the term 'classless routing' was coined, the network mask was already defined and it was stated how the routers should work with it.
    Now I am confused. The terms classless addresses and classless routing were defined sometime in 1990's, therefore I assume that the routing before the invention of classless IP assignment can be in fact described as classful. In other words, I thought that the routing that was commonly used in 1980's did not use netmasks and can be described as classful because the notion of classlessness came first in 1990's. But now I see that netmasks were defined in 1985.
    Now where am I wrong? Do I understand the classful routing properly as I described it? Is it correct to talk about routing in that era as classful although the netmasks were already in use? Or was it already the classless routing?
    Basically I am trying to understand what was called the classful routing if the classless routing is said to be something different.
    Mohammed, I am most grateful to you for your patience and suggestions! Thank you indeed.

  • What is the main difference between eewb and aet tool ?

    Dear all,
    What is the main difference between eewb and aet? Both ways we can create fields and coming to aet is in crm 7.0 and eewb is in 6.0.when we are creating fields through eewb we should have technical knowledge but aet tool is a simple tool as a function people also can easily add the fields. I want to know is there any main difference between both these tools.
    Regards,
    Jemmi.

    EEWB works from SAP GUI whereas AET works from WEB UI. AET is developed on top of the EEWB. Most the Objects are supported barring a few through AET. It's a very usefull tool for SAP CRM.
    Since in CRM SAP GUI will be phased out soon, AET will be prominent. One will see lot more features in upcoming relase in AET tool.

  • What is the main difference between menu_exits and user_exits

    what is the main difference between menu_exits and user_exits

    Hi,
    User Exits:
    A user exit is a three character code that instructs the system to access a program during system processing.
    SXX: S is for standard exits that are delivered by SAP. XX represents the 2-digit exit number.
    UXX: U is for user exits that are defined by the user. XX represents the 2-digit exit number
    Menu Exits:
    Menu exits add items to the pulldown menus in standard SAP applications. You can use these menu items to call up your own screens or to trigger entire add-on applications.
    SAP creates menu exits by defining special menu items in the Menu Painter. These special entries have function codes that begin with "+" (a plus sign). You specify the menu item’s text when activating the item in an add-on project.

  • What is the main difference between view and materialize view and advantage of Mview   ??

    What is the main difference between view and materialize view and advantage of Mview   ??

    1.A view uses a query to pull data from its associated tables.
    2.Views do not have data's physically stored in the Database.
    3.Views Get the Data from 2 or more tables and displays as a single block.
    4.But a materialized view is a table on disk is a result set of a query done.
    5.A Materialized view can have data's in the database.
    6.Materialized view are used for Boosting the Performance.
    7.And the important one is Materialized views are updated based on the parameters defined when they are created.
    8.By using triggers we can update the data in a materialized view.
    9.When you call a materialized view it will show the data when it was last updated.
    Hope it helps.

  • What is the main difference between Enhancements and BADI.?

    What is the main difference between Enhancements and BADI.?plzz tell
    Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 13, 2008 3:48 PM

    CMOD is the Project Management of SAP Enhancements (i.e., SMOD Enhancements). SMOD contains the actual enhancements and CMOD is the grouping of those SMOD enhancements.
    Difference Between BADI and User Exits
    BADI's can be used any number of times, where as USER-EXITS can be used only one time.
    Ex:- if your assigning a USER-EXIT to a project in (CMOD), then you can not assign the same to other project.
    BADI's are oops based.
    Business Add-Ins are a new SAP enhancement technique based on ABAP Objects. They can be inserted into the SAP System to accommodate user requirements too specific to be included in the standard delivery. Since specific industries often require special functions, SAP allows you to predefine these points in your software. 
    As with customer exits two different views are available:
    In the definition view, an application programmer predefines exit points in a source that allow specific industry sectors, partners, and customers to attach additional software to standard SAP source code without having to modify the original object. 
    In the implementation view, the users of Business Add-Ins can customize the logic they need or use a standard logic if one is available.
    In contrast to customer exits, Business Add-Ins no longer assume a two-level infrastructure (SAP and customer solutions), but instead allow for a multi-level system landscape (SAP, partner, and customer solutions, as well as country versions, industry solutions, and the like). Definitions and implementations of Business Add-Ins can be created at each level within such a system infrastructure.
    SAP guarantees the upward compatibility of all Business Add-In interfaces. Release upgrades do not affect enhancement calls from within the standard software nor do they affect the validity of call interfaces. You do not have to register Business Add-Ins in SSCR.
    The Business Add-In enhancement technique differentiates between enhancements that can only be implemented once and enhancements that can be used actively by any number of customers at the same time. In addition, Business Add-Ins can be defined according to filter values. This allows you to control add-in implementation and make it dependent on specific criteria (on a specific Country value, for example).
    All ABAP sources, screens, GUIs, and table interfaces created using this enhancement technique are defined in a manner that allows customers to include their own enhancements in the standard. A single Business Add-In contains all of the interfaces necessary to implement a specific task.
    The actual program code is enhanced using ABAP Objects. In order to better understand the programming techniques behind the Business Add-In enhancement concept, SAP recommends reading the section on ABAP Objects.

  • Whats the functional difference between CUA and UME?

    Hi All,
    A small query regarding UME (User Management Engine) and CUA ( Central User Administration). Whats the functional difference between these two. I read in help documents that UME will be used for SAP WebAS Java server. But I read that it can be used for ABAP engine as well. Then why do we need to use CUA when we have user friendly interface tool like UME. According to my knowledge from help documentation, UME comes pre installed. so we dont need to install it as we have to do for CUA.
    Can any help me in understanding the difference between these two. Thanks in advance. Good day.
    Regards,
    Farooq.

    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
    For more details see below links all advantages and disadvantages of both systems and comparisons deliberately.

  • What is the difference between start() and run()

    Hi:
    what is the difference between start() and the run()???
    in my app, i have
    Console.debug( "starting thread to listen for clients" );
    _server = new Server( this );
    _server.start();
    _server extends Thread..
    why everytime i use server.start(); my app will terminate on it is own, even though in my servr.run() method, i have a while loop
    and if i call _server.run() explicitly in my code, that while loop will be in execution
    can someone let me know??
    thnx

    what is the difference between start() and the
    run()???start() is a method on Thread that tells it to start.
    run() is a method in the object that the thread executes.
    why everytime i use _server.start(); my app will
    terminate on it is own, Err.... I'm not convinced this is true. It'll throw an IllegalThreadStateException, if you try to restart an existing thread.
    If that's what you're saying.
    even though in my _servr.run()
    method, i have a while loopI don't see the connection. Are you saying that the while loop never terminates, and you don't see why the thread is terminating?
    and if i call _server.run() explicitly in my code,
    that while loop will be in executionIf you call server.run() explicitly, then run() will be executed in the same thread that you called it in.

  • What's the security difference between WPA and WPA2 Personal?

    In order to get my G4 iMac (OS 10.4.11) onto my new AEBS(b/g/n) wi-fi network, I had to drop the network security down from WPA2 Personal to WPA/WPA2 Personal.
    What are the potential security risks in this mode? I know that WEP is no longer secure, so I'm concerned about WPA also being vulnerable.
    If there's a good online explanation of these security differences (not necessarily Apple-only), you just give me that link.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Summary:
    1.WPA2 is the improved version of WPA
    2.WPA only supports TKIP encryption while WPA2 supports AES
    3.Theoretically, WPA2 is not hackable while WPA is
    4.WPA2 requires more processing power than WPA

  • What are the Basic Differences between Oracle and  MS-SQL server Database?

    Hello,
            anybody pls Guide me about the Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database.and also IBM Databases also
    Regards,
    Balaram

    SQL Server only works on Windows-based platforms, including Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows CE.
    In comparison with SQL Server , OracleDatabase supports all known platforms, including Windows-based platforms, AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, Sun Solaris and so on.
    The SQL Server  advantages:
    SQL Server  holds the top TPC-C performance and price/performance results.
    SQL Server  is generally accepted as easier to install, use and manage.
    The Oracle  Database advantages:
    Oracle  Database supports all known platforms, not only the Windows-based platforms.
    PL/SQL is more powerful language than T-SQL.
    More fine-tuning to the configuration can be done via start-up parameters.

  • When do the CTI ports between CUCM and UCCX get created

    Hi All,
    I am trying to work out when the CTI ports between CUCM and UCCX get created.
    Do they get created during the post installtion wizzard when you selectthe number of HR licenses or do you need to manually create the CTI ports after the post installation wizzard.
    Many thanks for any help
    Regards

    In new versions (since 4.x) UCCX creates the CTI route points on Call Manager when a trigger is added on UCCX side.
    When you add a Call Control Group on UCCX side, that process creates all the CTI ports in CUCM automatically or updates the existing ones if you change settings for the call control group.
