Upgrade From Oracle 11.2.0.2 To 11.2.0.3 In A Test Environment
Aug 29, 2012
recently i have tried to upgrrade from oracle 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3 in a test environment (virtual machine).
there i have mentioned the SID as ORCL, but when we took the same snapshot to other machine (VM). iam unable to connect to the VM, unless i gave the local net service configuration as ORCL but it is unable to connect. but when i ran the query "select * from GLOBAL_NAME" output was ORCL. domain. com again i have configured in LNSC as ORCL.DOMAIN.COM it is working.
I've just patched a development oracle environment (RAC 11GR2) with temporary patch 8730312. I would like to do same thing on Production RAC. Is it necessary to test all applications on dev environment with this kind of patch before deploy it on Production ?
We have a RAC in a test environment.It's 2 nodes connecting to an IBM DS3512. The DS3512 has one pool of 8 hard disks (RAID10) which has been then sliced into logical drives:
2 x 1GB then 2 * 400GB
I have been tasked with changing the current configuration as follow:
2 pools of 4HDs in a RAID10 configuration
Then from the first pool: 2 * 1GB 1 * 398GB
from 2nd pool: 1 * 400GB
What I intend to do: 1) shutdown SQL> shutdown immediate; ./srvctl crs stop 2) backup dd if=votingdisk of=voting_disk_backup I already got backups of OCR in $CRS_HOME/cdata/crs/ 3) Perform changes on SAN 4) recreate ocfs2 partitions 5) mount the disks to their folder. 6) recovery recover voting from backup recover ocr from backup 7) Turn service on again ./srvctl crs start SQL> startup;
Would this scenario work. There can be some glitches like the disk names changing after the reconfiguration but I only need to modify fstab for that.
I am having performance issues on a query in a production environment that I cannot replicate in our test environment. Our test environment is an import of production. Version information is:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bi PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production CORE 10.2.0.3.0 Production TNS for Solaris: Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.3.0 - ProductionWhen I run the query in test, I get the following results using TKPROF [code]....
Misses in library cache during parse: 1 Optimizer mode: ALL_ROWSThis performance problem started a few weeks ago and the problem seems to be in the high number of consistent reads during fetch. The DBA tried restarting the instance and gathering fresh stats on the tables but that has not made a difference. Now he wants to export the tables, drop the schema and re-import.
srvctl config PRCR-1119 : Failed to look up CRS resources of database type PRCR-1115 : Failed to find entities of type resource that match filters (TYPE == ora.database.type) and contain attributes DB_UNIQUE_NAME,ORACLE_HOME,VERSION Cannot communicate with crsd
After upgrading to Apex 4.2 I'm now unable to test Report Queries. Each time I click on the Test Report button via Shared Components|Report Queries I recieve the following error message:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
I still have Apex version 4.1 installed on a different server and it appears to be working fine.
Along with existing RMAN backups we do Exports - of our DB using and OS User and Oracle Wallet.Of the DB's we have upgraded the Data Pump Directory
Select * from dba_directories; (there are other commands to get this info as well).
I captured screens from the DBUA upgrades, but did not see an option to change this information.Is there a way to feed this information to the install moving forward. IE, ./DBUA -silent ?
Also, anyone tracked the percentage of storage increase from 10.2/11.1 to 11.2.
I'm trying to move my backup sets from windows database environment, to OEL 5.7 environment on another server.
I've found a manual [URL] by which I am trying to do it.I took backup sets from last night's backup using RMAN,and the current parameter(initSID.ora) file from the running live database.Now i need to configure control files in the pfile accordingly.
1. can i take current control files from the running system, to restore and recover backup sets from last night, to the state the database was at backup time?
2. how can i find out if control files are backed up and know by RMAN? "list backup completed after '2012-JUN-19';" >> gives me Archive redo logs, datafiles, but don't see the control files(or don't reconize them).
I am going to upgrade database from 11.1.0.7 to 11.2.0.3
1) If compatible is set to 10.2.0 in 11.2.0.3, will it work ? 2) If compatible set to maximum level, will it affect our application ? 3) Whether any code related problem occurred after upgrading like PL/SQL codes ?
We are planning to upgrade our database from Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bi to Oracle Standard Edition 11g . We also have oracle apex installed on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bi database with oracle apex 3.1
No our plan to upgrade the database and oracle apex to 4.2. Since Oracle Enterprise Edition is licensing is very expensive we though of buying standard edition and upgrade to this version.
can we upgrade the oracle database from enterprise edition to latest standard edition?
i have created a dblink between oracle and mssql and tried testing the link its giving me below error.
SQL Error: ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified {IM002} ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from MSSQL 28500. 00000 - "connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:" *Cause: The cause is explained in the forwarded message. *Action: See the non-Oracle system's documentation of the forwarded message.
I have checked the dsn data source i have created, i am able to test the DSN successfully.
I am trying to come up with a plan for an upgrade that is needed for a server I maintain. It is a Windows 2003 32bit running Oracle 10.2.0.3 on old Hardware. It also has two obscure 3rd party applications that are running on it that directly access the database. These applications are supported by off site consultants.
My initial plan was to Create a Windows 2008 R2 Virtual Server and install the same version of Oracle 10.2.0.3. Using Rman clone the database to the new server. Have the consultants come in and get the applications working. Once everything in the new environment seems to be working fine, run RMAN again and reclone the database to have all the latest data. Then at a later time upgrade the database to 11g 32bit. Virtually no downtime and we could spend all the time we needed getting the applications working and testing the new environment.
The plan is dead right of the bat though because I realize 10.2.0.3 is not supported by Windows 2008 R2. I really did not want to add an Oracle DB upgrade into the mix at the same time. Just because their are so many changes from the old environment to the new that I want to break this down into manageable chunks. And I can maybe get by with 1 day of down time.
So now I am looking at installing 11g on my Virtual Server, Clone the database, upgrade the database, have the consultants come in and get the applications working. All the while we are down. If we run into any problems, which you always do, it just completely blows the schedule.
On a test instance with Oracle 11gR2 with Enterprise Manager Database Control I try to activate the Email Notifications in Enterprise Manager, so that I can use them for monitoring.
So i configured following settings:
Under Setup -> Notification method I gave him a valid mail address with a vaild SMTP server. The test mail was send successfully.
Under Preferences -> General i gave SYS a valid mail address to receive. The execution plan i let in standard configuration, so every time at everyday i will get an email, when something happens. the test mail was send successfully too.
Now i created an own rule to test the configuration:
I went to Preferences -> Rules an add an rule. Name and description I named "test" and set "database instance". At availability I activated all checkboxed, so i should be informed when the instance goes down, comes up, getting an error, when the error is fixed, when agent is not available, when agent is available again, when there is a metric error, when the emetic error is fixed, when a blackout starts and when it ends.
Metrics, policies and jobs there wasn't defined anything in standard, so i let it so and set nothing here. I activate the checkbox for sending emails to sys and sending repeat emails every 15 minutes 3 times at all.
Now, to test this notification i logged into my testserver and killed the listener process, to see, what will happened. After 1 Hour waiting i didn't get any email, so i restarted the listener. after the listener was started my outlook was fluted by emails from the server, that the listener was down. But why i didn't get them earlier.
I checked the procedure with the database to, here i get it down by "shutdown abort" and "shutdown immediate". But i get the mails, that the database is down, when its up already. And thats to late!
When I want to use such email notifications for productive servers and someting is going wrong, for that a notifications is configured of course, I want to get the mail directly, when that happened and not, hen the problem is fixed!
For example, here an email from testing, where the listener was down, that i've get at 13:01 :
I have a requirement to upgrade Oracle Data Integrator(ODI) from 10.1.3.5 to 11.1.1.6.3 We have a Clustered production environment where N1 will be up when N2 be down and viceversa.
Here N1 and N2 are the ODI servers as well as DB(11g Release 2) servers. They both access the SHARED CLUSTERED database. From ODI we will generally point the Oracle clustered IP(Virtual IP) which will internally point either N1 or N2 whichever is active. ODI application wise we are clear about the procedure.
Having some issues on DB related activities.
1. Should I break the cluster definitely? Cant I do the activity without breaking the cluster? 2. Do I need to point N1, N2, Clustered IP (Virtual IP) while doing the activities? 3. Since its a clustered database, do I need to db related activities once or twice? (Twice means, manually on both the servers) 4. As they are using same file structures (RAC), If the Virtual IP points N1 by default, assume that I create two new users a
I have a scenario In which I have say 4 AQ in which I will post the message.Also i have say 2 database.I am planning to create an MDB which will poll on these AQ's, so whenever I post message the MDB will read it and perform a specific action.I believe I can create only one MDB per queue, if it is so then I have to create 8 MDB.
As there 2 datasource and 4 MDB. Is there any other way to handle this I mean without creating 8 MDB as the Data sources can increase to 10 to 20 so the number of MDB will be 20 to 40.I guess this will affect the application performance. Can I make some changes in application so that only few MDB's are required?
I have installer oracle 11i database, with oracle 10g forms for development.When I am trying to open test form in oracle 10g form only Internet explorer is opening with blank screen, while it is connected to oracle database (version 11i).
Oracle 11i is on windows 2003 ent server and Oracle 10g is on windows 2000 professional...
How can we bring down the databases in oracle fail safe environment?
We have one database X in two server�s windows A & B with oracle fail safe environment. What procedure should we fallow to bring down the database X.
Today I was strangling to bring down the database because database was automatically coming up once brought down the database. what procedure should we follow to bring down the database in OFS environment.
i am reinstalling oracel 11g in my window 7 64 bit machine after i uninstalled it. however, i got an issue that is environment variable path failed in the installation process. this didn't happen when i firstly successfully installed oracle.
I am running a job that is using Pro C code. I am running it on an Oracle 10g database with an Oracle 9 client on a UNIX platform. The code compiled fine. The job runs fine sometimes but other times it fails with a Segmentation Fault error.
I have the same job running in an Oracle 8i environment with no problems.
how to change non - SYS oracle users' password in data guard envirnment. We all know that for SYS password change in data guard. DBA has to change in primary database by either "alter user SYS identified by xxxx" or create password file with orapwd.
Then scp password file to standby database. However, if I want to change SYSTEM or DBSNMP passwords, I change on primary with " alter user ....." SQL, then new passwords will be login dictionary. But this new SYSTEM pqssword will be shipped with redo log to standby and SYSTEM password on standby will be updated? I need technical answer on this question
We are in the process of setting up a DR environment for our SAP and Oracle databases . The netapp and our architects came up with solution as follows .
1.Standby databases are built for all production databases. 2.The SAP file systems are replicated to the secondary site 3.The Oracle logfiles and controlfiles are replicated by netapp snap mirror every 10 mins interval 4.The database is recovered through recover standby database every 15 mins at standby site 5.Please note there is no data guard involved . 6.To test the failover , the mirror is broken .The standby controlfile is replaced with Production controlfile and Redo logs files. 7.The standby database issued a startup comnmand and it worked .
Would like to know whether the step 6 is a correct approach ? I tried to convince the architects that this will result in a very disastrous situation for us but none is listened to .
how to integrate Application Express with Oracle EBS. Any companies that offer hosted EBS environment with APEX and allow developer-level access (ie database, application server, front-end responsibilities)?
I'm planning to upgrade a small database (~150GB) from 10.2.0.3 on windows 2003 23bit to 11.2.0.3 RAC on Linux 5.8.The database contains oracle spatial too. A suitable method and link to document to be followed.
