Why do we need to have a observer run on the different computer

Hello team,
Why do we need to have a observer run on the different computer and how to install & confgure it on that different computer.?pls help
5.5.6 Managing the Observer
The observer is integrated in the DGMGRL client-side component and runs on a different computer from the primary or standby databases and from the computer where you manage the broker configuration. The observer continuously monitors the fast-start failover environment to ensure the primary database is available (described in Section 5.5.2.1). The observer's main purpose is to enhance high availability and lights out computing by reducing the human intervention required by the manual failover process that can add minutes or hours to downtime.
Thanks

Thanks Aman,
Do we need a same db binary & OS version for starting the observer on the different computer ?? here the primary & standby are liunx.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,it does not have to be on the same platform or operating system on which the databases reside, and it does not need Oracle EE and an instance (which means no extra license).
To configure check this.

  • Needs a background webdynpro application running at the server side

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement wherein we need to have an application running all the time at the server side to capture the response coming from a web application. Based on the response that the application receives, it needs to update some backend R/3 tables.
    We are thinking of a webdynpro java application.
    Can anyone suggest what kind of application needs to be implemented here?
    And what  would be the steps required to run the application at the server side without calling the application.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Robin,
    Thanks for the detailed explaination.
    This may sound silly to you but I've another doubt which is as follows:
    As you mentioned that the external web application will be sending requests to our Web service(in SOAP envelopes) and rest of the functionality can be  achieved by our web service.
    Actually, we are expecting only responses from the external web application. The thing is that we are sending the requests to the external web applications from our custom webdynpro application and in return the web application will be sending us 2 responses.
    First response would be back to our WD java application URL(to the browser in which WD java app is running) which would get the response and display some message based on the response.
    Second would be to this web service which you have just suggested. We are having two responses so that even if the browser in which the WD java application is running gets accidentally closed, the response from the external web application must get captured somewhere else and should not get lost in any case.
    So, now since we are only expecting the response from the web application and we do not want any requests from the web application to our web service; how is this possible?
    I am asking the above question because you have mentioned that the external web application has to request our Web service but we want is only this web service to capture the response coming from the Web application.
    Or is it like the web application will send us the response string as request string to our Web Service and the web service will capture these response parameters as request parameters from the web application and do the further processing.
    But in that case, we do not want any response to be sent by the Web Service to the external web application.
    Please suggest if this is possible.
    Once again, many thanks for the help so far.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Anurag

  • Why do we need downcasting in Java? What is the use of it?

    Why do we need downcasting in Java? What is the use of it?

    here's an example of a valid downcast.
    class Dog {}
    class Dogma extends Dog {}
    class Dogmatic extends Dog {}
    Dog dogwood = new Dogma(); // a Dogma object is upcast to a Dog
    Dogma bush = (Dogma) dogwood; // a Dogma object is downcast from a Dog
    You cannot upcast a Dogmatic to a Dog and then downcast it to a Dogma. You also cannot downcast a Dog to a Dogma. In the working example, above, the dogwood references a Dogma, so you can downcast the Dogma.
    and one more example
    If you have a class hierarchy where class B extends class A (B is a specialization of A) you can use B in the place of A since B supports all the operations that B does. This is called polymorphism.
    When you use an object of type B in place of A you actually do a up-cast, meaning you make the object of type B look like an object of type A (a less specific class type).
    What you are asking about is down-casting which is making an object be of a more specific type, i.e. transforming an object of type A to type B. Is is only allowed if the object was actually created as a type B.
    This is allowed (line 2 is a down-cast):
    A a = new B();
    B b = (B)a;

  • Hi have just bought a Sony Xperia J and am not able to tether my ipad as I did with my Nokia C3. Why? What do I have to do to solve the problem so I can tether to my Ipad?

    Hi have just bought a Sony Xperia J and am not able to tether my ipad as I did with my Nokia C3. Why?
    What do I have to do to solve the problem so I can tether to my Ipad?
    Is this phone another of the things that Apple does not support? How do I know before I buy a phone that it will be supported? 

    How are you attempting to connect them? 
    Looking at the Experia J features it does seem to support Wifi Hotspot, but there is no mention of a Bluetooth hotspot. Different phones offer different things.
    The iPad issues the message, because there doesn;t seem to be anything it can do with it. But this is not something apple is blocking its more a  limitation or a non present feature of the phone.
    From the Manual which I assume you've read through:
    To share your phone’s data connection as a portable Wi-Fi® hotspot
    1 From the Home screen, tap .
    2 Find and tap Settings > More… > Tethering & portable hotspot.
    3 Tap Configure Wi-Fi hotspot.
    4 Enter the Network SSID for the network. Tap the Security field to select a
    security type.
    5 If required, enter a password.
    6 Tap Save.
    7 Mark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox. The phone starts broadcasting its
    Wi-Fi® network name (SSID). You can now connect to this network with up to
    8 computers or other devices.
    8 Unmark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox when you want to stop sharing
    your data connection via Wi-Fi®
    When that is set up, you can use your iPad to look for the Wifi network the phone is providing and connect to it as you would any wifi network.

  • We bought a time capsule then the wifi has a problem since it does not identify the existing wireless network and it says that its need to have an update firmware. The existing firmware is 7.3.1, does it have an newest update firmware existing now?

    We bought a time capsule, 1TB, then the wifi has a problem since it does not identify the existing wireless network and it says that its need to have an update firmware. The existing firmware is 7.3.1, does it have an newest update firmware existing now? Does APPLE do not provide latest firmware for this item?

    How old is that Time Capsule?  The fact that it still have firmware 7.3.1 suggests that it's not the latest model.  The latest firmware available for my two-year-old model is version 7.5.2.  Apple does provide firmware updates.  You just have to let the Time Capsule download and install them.  Use AirPort Utility to do that.
    Regarding your Wi-Fi problem, please explain what you mean by "it does not identify the existing wireless network".

  • Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer?

    Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?

    Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

  • How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
    That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.)

    I have  anew computer and my ipod was attached to the old one, how can i have my music download to the new computer and sincronize it.

    If you no longer have the old computer this will be very helpful and If you have other content - apps, books, movies, that you want to transfer to the iTunes library - you need to transfer your purchases from the iPod to the computer as well.
    Take a look.

    This works the same way whether you have a Mac or a PC.

  • TS1368 I am trying to update my new iphone, and need to access my itunes account from a different computer.  How do I do this?

    I have a new Iphone 5 that I am trying to sync with my existing itunes account.  I need to get this to sync to a different computer, than what I originally set it up on.  Every time I plug it in, it takes me to my daughters itunes account, and wants to sync up with her music.  How do I change the itunes account?

    Hey Mike, just sign in the iTunes Store and authorize your account on this machine (don't worry, you'll be asked for it), then you will ready to use it.

    can you have 2 itunes account on the same computer?

    Yes, go to your Windows Control Panel and create another user,log into it, run iTunes and it's ready to rock and roll.
    Transfer your content over via USB Key, Dropbox or external drive.
    Heck the best thing would be to File > Backup library to disk with a bunch of DVD-R's, therefore you get a backup in the process!
