Hi Apps DBA,

We usually do cloning by copying the Application tops from Source(TEST1) to Target(TEST2).
First we compress the files in source and than we copy those file from source to target and finally we uncompress followed by renaming and further process .Below are the useful commands and safe one to do this task.

Step 1:Tarring and zipping:

nohup tar -cvpf - ./test1appl 2> /u01/app/test1/test1appl.log | gzip -c -> /u01/app/test1/test1appl.gz &

nohup tar -cvpf - ./test1comn 2> /u01/app/test1/test1comn.log | gzip -c -> /u01/app/test1/test1comn.gz &

nohup tar -cvpf - ./test1ora 2> /u01/app/test1/test1ora.log | gzip -c -> /u01/app/test1/test1ora.gz &

Step 2:scp from source  to target:
Assuming we are on target server,we copy files from source to target as below:

scp -rp apptest1@uslaxorcap19:/u01/app/test1/*.tar.gz .

passwd:apptest1

Step 3:Untarring and Unzipping:

nohup cat /u02/app/test2/test1appl.tar.gz|gunzip| tar xvf - >/u02/app/test2/test1appl.log &
nohup cat /u02/app/test2/test1comn.tar.gz|gunzip| tar xvf - >/u02/app/test2/test1comn.log &
nohup cat /u02/app/test2/test1ora.tar.gz|gunzip| tar xvf - >/u02/app/test2/test1ora_27Jun.log &

Note 1:Below command comes in single line in Unix shell prompt
Note 2:Advantage of above command is we can check logs and make sure the compressing and Uncompressing  is done successfully.



Enjoy doing Apps DBA tasks...

Hi,

It's been a long time since I wrote a blog post, I was busy working with Oracle EBS upgrades,content server setup, and Oracle SOA 11g upgrade projects. We have recently upgraded Oracle EBS 12.1.3 to Oracle EBS R12.2.4.

There are lot of difference.Below are the key ones, I will try to extend this post based on difference noticed by me as I work more rigorously.

1)In R12.2 we have to kind of filesystems fs1(run filesystem) and fs2(patch filesystem) where as In R12.1.3 we only deal with one application filesystem.

2)In R12.2 we have the Application servers replaced by Weblogic server to manage the technology statck.
The 10.1.3 Home is replaced by FMW  (Fusion Middleware Home) i.e $FMW_HOME

The major change in R12.2 is involvement of Weblogic server to manager all the forms,oacore servers
where as in R12.1.3 we had the Application server 10.1.3 to manage the web home or Java Home

3)The  adpatch(patching) in R 12.1.3 is replaced by adop(online patching) in R 12.2.4

adop(online patching) utility involves 5 phases to apply a standard patch in Oracle EBS R12.2.
adop involves 5 phases
1)prepare => prepare phase involves synchronization of the filesystems fs1 (run ,filesystem) and fs2(patch filesystem), filesystems are inter changeable.
2)apply=>In this phase we apply all the patches
Note: These patches need to be copied in fs_ne (non editioned filesystems)
3)finalize =>In this phase we are getting ready for cutover phase
4)cutover =>In cutover phase the filesystem switchover takes place. Previously the filesystem which was patch filesystem will now become run filesystem.)
5) cleanup =>In cleanup phase all the obsolute objects gets compiled .

adop online patching utility doesn't require downtime. It involves minimal downtime during cutover phase where switching of filesystems happens. We can apply lot of patches and do cutover any time to minimize downtime

where as in  adpatch we just apply patch most of the times by bringing down applications or in hot patch mode.

4)'Apps' user Password change:
The 'apps' user password change involve 3 steps in R12.2.4
1)Change the password with FNDCPASS
2)Change the password in EBS Datasource from Weblogic admin console
3)Run AutoconfigCheck below link from Bala for detail steps:

http://balaoracledba.com/2014/05/15/r12-2-changing-apps-or-applsys-password-on-r12-2-instance/

Where as in R 12.1.3 It only involves 2 steps:
1)Change the password with FNDCPASS
2)Run Autoconfig
5)Log files locations:
All the oacore,forms log files are placed in $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME in R12.2. I will explain this in details in my upcoming posts.
Where as in R12.1.3 all the logs for oacore,forms are under $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3

I will come up with lot of difference in this thread so that we all gets comfortable with Oracle EBS Release 12.2.4
 Happy Oracle Apps DBA reading and learning EBS R12.2.4...

Hi All,

We can change the 'weblogic' user password in EBS Release 12.2.5 using txkUpdateEBSDomain.pl perl script. Before changing the 'weblogic' user password we need to shutdown all the Middle Tier applications using 'adstpall.sh' script.

Below are the steps involved.

Step 1:Source the run filesystem  in the Oracle EBS Applications 12.2 or higher.

/erpapp/testebs/upgrade
. EBSapps.env run

Step 2:Change the password using txkUpdateEBSDomain.pl  perl script.

applmgr@host1:/erpapp/testebs/upgrade$ perl /erpapp/testebs/upgrade/fs1/EBSapps/appl/fnd/12.0.0/patch/115/bin/txkUpdateEBSDomain.pl -action=updateAdminPassword

Hi DBAs,

Clonning is one of the regular tasks done by Apps DBA & DBAs. I have done lot of clonning
in various ways,below is one such task.Hope you will like it. Theses steps are applicable for
Oracle EBS Release 12.1.3 and Database version is 11.2.0.4.0

Step 1: Source Environment Preparation Steps:
Run adpreclone.pl on DB and Application Tier
DB Tier:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/$CONTEXT_NAME
perl adpreclone.pl dbtier
Application Tier:
cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
perl adpreclone.pl appsTier

Step 2: Take Backup of Database and Applications:
Database:
Use the below script to take full rman backup taken can be used for cloning on source Environment.
run
{
configure device type disk parallelism 6;
allocate channel c1 device type disk;
allocate channel c2 device type disk;
allocate channel c3 device type disk;
allocate channel c4 device type disk;
allocate channel c5 device type disk;
allocate channel c6 device type disk;
backup full database format '/backup/rman/EBSTEST/juneDD/EBSTEST_Full%d_%s_%T_%U' database;
backup format '/backup/rman/EBSTEST/juneNN/EBSTEST_ARCH%d_%s_%T_%U' archivelog all;
backup current controlfile format '/backup/rman/EBSTEST/juneNN/control%d%t_control.ctl';
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
release channel c3;
release channel c4;
release channel c5;
release channel c6;
}

Note: Replace DD with the date or any other directory name as required.

Application Tier:
Compress the top directories using the below commands:
tar –cf /backup/PROD/appl/appsst<date>.tar /erpapp/apps/apps_st
tar –cf /backup/PROD/appl/techst<date>.tar /erpapp/apps/tech_st

Step 3:Copy and Extract Files to DEV Node:

Copy the appsst.tar and techst.tar to respective locations in DEV and extract using:
tar –xf appsst.tar
tar –xf techst.tar

Step 4:Preparing DEV for Refresh:

a)Shutdown Applications and Database Services
b)Take DEV backup if required
c)Take a backup of pfile
d)sqlplus ‘/as sysdba’
startup mount
alter system enable restricted session;
drop database;
e)cp initTESTEBS.ora initEBSTEST.ora
vi initEBSTEST.ora
db_name=EBSTEST
control_files='+DATA/TESTEBS/CONTROLFILE/ctr<new1>.dbf','+DATA/TESTEBS/CONTROLFILE/ctr<new2>.dbf ','+DATA/TESTEBS/CONTROLFILE/ctr<new3>.dbf '
export ORACLE_SID=EBSTEST
startup nomount


Step 5: Restore and Recover Database
Restore controlfile from backup of source Database which should be copied using scp to the
target DB server.

rman target /
restore controlfile from ‘<PATH OF CONTROLFILE BACKUP>’
alter database mount;
crosscheck backup;
delete expired backup;
crosscheck backup;
list backup;
Note:Find the latest sequence and thread number and use them in place of “SEQUENCE” and “N” in below script.

run
{
set until sequence <SEQUENCE> thread <N>;
configure device type disk parallelism 6;
allocate channel c1 device type disk;
allocate channel c2 device type disk;
allocate channel c3 device type disk;
allocate channel c4 device type disk;
allocate channel c5 device type disk;
allocate channel c6 device type disk;
set newname for database to '+DATA';
restore database;
switch datafile all;
recover database;
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
release channel c3;
release channel c4;
release channel c5;
release channel c6;
}
exit;

This completes the database restore and recovery.

Step 6: Configuring DEV Database

Now the Database is in Mount State with EBSTEST name.
Change the redolog file names of Thread 1 to +RECO
a.alter database rename file ‘+RECO/EBSTEST…’ to ‘NEW PATH’
alter database backup controlfile to trace
shut immediate
b.Rename trace file to ctrl.sql
vi ctrl.sql
Change “REUSE” to “SET”
Change “EBSTEST” to “EBSDEV”
Change “noresetlogs” to “resetlogs”
Change “archivelog” to “noarchivelog”
c.cp initEBSTEST.ora initEBSDEV.ora
Change db_name=AMDEV in initEBSDEV.ora
d.export ORACLE_SID=EBSDEV
e.sqlplus ‘/as sysdba’
@ctrl.sql
alter database open resetlogs;
f.Run Autoconfig

This completes the Database Cloning

Before starting cloning, modify FND Template as below:
cd $FND_TOP/admin/driver/fndtmpl.drv
txkWfClone.sh INSTE8_SETUP to txkWfClone.sh INSTALL_SETUP

Step 7:Clone Application Tier:
cd /erpapp/apps/apps_st/comn/clone/bin
perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier
Answer the prompts and do not start services once apply is complete

Step 8:Take a backup of context file 
vi $CONTEXT_FILE
Change the load balancing related parameters

Step 9:Start the EBS applications
5.11adstrtal.sh apps/<password>

Post Cloning Steps:

a)Change logo
Upload the below logo to $OA_MEDIA/COMPLOGO_SC.jpg

b)Run the Data masking script:

 c)Cancel the Running/Pending Concurrent Requests
UPDATE fnd_concurrent_requests
SET phase_code = 'C', status_code = 'X'
WHERE status_code IN ('Q','I')
AND requested_start_date > SYSDATE
AND hold_flag = 'N';

UPDATE fnd_concurrent_requests
SET phase_code = 'C', status_code = 'X'
WHERE phase_code IN ('R','P');
Commit;

d)Disable Workflow Notification Mailer. Set the override address from OAM. Purge pending notifications.

UPDATE WF_NOTIFICATIONS
SET MAIL_STATUS = 'SENT', STATUS = 'CLOSED'
where status in ('OPEN', 'CANCELED')
and mail_status in ('MAIL', 'INVALID');

sqlplus apps/appspwd@db @$FND_TOP/patch/115/sql/wfntfqup.sql apps appspwd applsys

update wf_roles set NOTIFICATION_PREFERENCE=’DISABLED’,email_address=null;

e)Update per_all_people_f set email_address=null where email_address is not null;

f)Change the profile options:
Site Name to “DEV Instance”
Java Color Scheme to a color which is not same as PROD

e)Change the system, apps, sysadmin, xxcomp passwords
f)Add tempfile to Temp Tablespace
g)Change the URLs previously in Context File configured for Load Balancing in PROD and run autoconfig.

s_external_url http://testebs.COMPLOGO.ae:8000
s_login_page http://testebs.COMPLOGO.ae:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
s_webentryhost testebs
s_webentrydomain COMPLOGO.ae

h)Update the Node information for all Concurrent Managers from Concurrent Manager Define to current node name and restart concurrent managers using adcmctl.sh
i)DEACTIVATE “Periodic Alert Scheduler”
j)Update Discoverer URL in Context File ( Application Tier - s_disco_url):
http://customsoadev.COMPLOGO.ae:7777
k)erpuat@COMPLOGO.ae shall be used as the Email ID for notifications in case if WF Notification Mailer is being enabled

Hope you followed clonning steps. Enjoy Apps DBA tasks.

Thanks,

Hi Friends,

I always believe DBA should have strong knowledge and experience in working on Unix flavor operating system. In this regard Red Hat Linux is always my favourite  operating system and always enjoy working on this Unix flavor operating system.

By Almighty 's and some efforts of mine I completed Red Hat Certified System Administrator 7 (RHCSA) EXAM(EX200) certification.

Link below for the credential validation:

https://www.redhat.com/rhtapps/certification/verify/?certId=170-277-842



Preparation:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux(RHEL) version 7 Training from Reputed training institute or Partner network should help in passing this exam. You can always mail me to rafidba.alvi@gmail.com for any assistance.


Enjoy learning Red Hat Linux.


Thanks,

Rafi

Hi DBAs,

Recently I installed   Red Hat Enterprise Linux  7.3  on HP Hardware and applied latest redhat patches which upgraded the kernel version to 7.4 . I came across issue where I was getting hpdsa HP driver error while booting with latest kernel after applying latest Red Hat patches because the kernel version got updated to latest 7.4 kernel due to this issue Red Hat Linux Operating system was not booting up and was giving error. After doing some research and with assistance of Red hat Support I was able to figure and resolve this issue. Sharing details of the Error and Steps followed to resolve this issue.

Kernel details:

                                           Modules linked  hpdsa


Observation and Resolution:

 There is a problem with Raid driver for Gen9 Server . We had installed the driver during installation but the module was close driver from HPE and it needs to be upgraded accordingly. Our updated kernel was not kernel for Red Hat 7.3 but is was for Redhat 7.4


Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 (Maipo), June 10,2014   ; 4 years ago, uses Linux Kernel 3.10.0-123
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1, (Maipo), March 5,2015 ; 3 years ago, uses Linux Kernel 3.10.0-229
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 (Maipo), Nov 19,2015 ;   3 years ago, uses Linux Kernel 3.10.0-327
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 (Maipo), Nov   3,2016 ; 2 years ago, uses Linux Kernel 3.10.0-514
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 (Maipo), Aug  1,2017 ; 1 years ago, uses Linux Kernel 3.10.0-693

Latest driver for HP can be found in below location:

https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/spp-gen9/2018.03.0/packages



As we can see for 7.4 kernel we have a different driver available

Each Red Hat release has one kernel version and only fixes so from 3.10.0-514 they will make only 3.10.0-514.XYX ,so same kernel module will work but if you upgrade to newer Red Hat Kernel (7.4) than new kernel module is required.

Download the driver module kmod-hpdsa-1.2.10-123,rhel7u4.x86_64.rpm and copy to the server.
Boot the RHEL server with older version of  kernel(Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 (Maipo), Nov   3,2016 ; 2 years ago, uses Linux Kernel 3.10.0-514) which is working fine and install the rpm as below:

rpm –ivh packagename.rpm
rpm -ivh  kmod-hpdsa-1.2.10-123,rhel7u4.x86_64.rpm

After successfully installing RPM verify the kernel version, HP Driver module version and reboot the server. Use below commands for validations.

#rpm -q kernel

#rpm -a|grep -i kernel*

#modinfo hpdsa

# init 6

Choose below kernel to boot the server:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 (Maipo), Aug  1,2017 ; 1 years ago, uses Linux Kernel 3.10.0-693

Now it will work and the issue is resolved.

Enjoy Learning and Working on Red Hat Linux ...

Thanks,

18 Steps for Oracle 18c Installation and Database Creation for On Premise Environment

Hi DBAs,

Oracle 18c Rel3 On premise Database released as expected in Jul 2018. Since I work and Spend most of my time
working with On Premise Databases, Applications and Fusion Middleware components, so decided to write this post based on

My practical experience with Oracle 18c today to assist DBAs.

Below are my 18 steps for Oracle 18c Installation on Linux 64-bit Operating System:



Step 1: Copy and Unzip the Software on server.

Once you unzip the Oracle18c Rel3 Software you will notice while extracting lot of linking of binaries happen and it will
create ORACLE_HOME in same path, this is interesting and new feature of 18c Database.f

cd Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit/
  ls -ltr
  unzip LINUX.X64_180000_db_home.zip

Step 2:Verify and check the Shared Memory Operating System level

It is very important to resize kernel.shmmax and kernel.shmall parameter in /etc/sysctl.conf as below

Step 3: Create and Configure a Single Instance Database



Step 4: Choose as Server Class if you are doing on Server or Desktop for your own System


Step 5: Choose Enterprise Edition

 Standard Edition 2 seems new from Oracle 18c on premise DB

Step 6: Specify ORACLE_BASE location. 

It should be under same path where you extracted the Oracle 18c Release 3 software. Details in my post in Step 1.




Step 8: Specify configuration options

Memory
Character Set
Sample schemas







Step 9: Specify Database Storage options



Step 9: Specify Management options if required(optional step)
Step 10: Specify RECOVERY options if required(optional step)

After executing 'root.sh' you will get Oracle Trace File Analyzer (TFA) location if you want you can setup it as well. This is new feature from Oracle 18c Release 3 Database.

Oracle Trace File Analyzer (TFA - Non Daemon Mode) is available at :
    /u02/ora18c/soft/Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit/suptools/tfa/release/tfa_home/bin/tfactl

Note :
1. tfactl will use TFA Daemon Mode if TFA already running in Daemon Mode and user has access to TFA
2. tfactl will configure TFA Non Daemon Mode only if user has no access to TFA Daemon mode or TFA Daemon mode is not

installed

OR

Oracle Trace File Analyzer (TFA - Daemon Mode) can be installed by running this script :
    /u02/ora18c/soft/Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit/suptools/tfa/release/tfa_home/install/roottfa.sh

[root@orasolsTest Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit]#


Step 15: After executing 'root.sh' continue with the Installation of the product





Step 16: Post installation Steps:

=> Create the Environment file for Oracle 18c
=> Source the Environment

[oracle@orasolsTest ~]$ cat ora18c.env
# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then

Hi All,

Cloning of Oracle ERP Database and Applications for Oracle EBS 12.2 ( 12.2.x) can be done in several ways. Below I have described one such scenario.  Based on the backup policy and customization you have for your Oracle EBS Environment steps might vary . Here I just documented based on my experiences.


Source :ERP122_Source

DB node:source_db_host
App node:source_apps_host

Target :erp1226

DB node:target_db_host
App node:target_apps_host


Step 1: Running Pre-clone on the Source Apps Tier(ERP122_Source)

To prepare the source environment for cloning we need to run adpreclone.pl script.

cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME

perl adpreclone.pl appsTier

apps:welcome1
weblogic:welcome1


Log file located at /erpapp/ERP122_Source/upgrade/fs1/inst/apps/ERP122_Source_uat-

cm2/admin/log/clone/StageAppsTier_02041740.log

  \     20% completed

Completed Stage...

END: Calling StagefmwTechStack...


#############################################################

END: StageAppsTier Finished at Thu Feb 04 18:14:16 GST 2018
Status: Completed Successfully
#############################################################


Step 2: Running Pre-Clone on the Source DB Tier

To prepare the source environment for cloning we need to run adpreclone.pl script.

cd /u01/ERP122_Source/db/dbhome_1/appsutil/scripts/ERP122_Source_host

perl adpreclone.pl dbTier


Log file located at /u01/ERP122_Source/db/dbhome_1/appsutil/log/ERP122_Source_host/StageDBTier_02041853.log

  /     50% completed

Completed Stage...
Thu Feb  4 18:55:58 2018

Step 3: Copying Application Tier from Source to Target

WHAT NEEDS TO BE COPIED
----------------------------
Choose only RUN FILE SYSTEM for copying

Copy EBSapps directory from source(ERP122_Source) to target(erp1226) (no need to copy FMW_Home and inst Directories)


a) EBSapps =>COPY

On Source(ERP122_Source): Take tar backup of EBSapps

cd /erpapp/ERP122_Source/upgrade/fs1
tar -cvf /u04/ERP122_Source/apps/EBSapps.tar

b) FMW_HOME =>DON'T COPY
c) inst =>DON'T COPY

Prepare Target:(erp1226 : 12.2.5)
=========================================

cd /erpapp/
applmgr@orace_erp_host:~$ mkdir erp1226

mkdir -p /erpapp/erp1226/fs1/
mkdir -p /erpapp/erp1226/fs2/
mkdir -p /erpapp/erp1226/fs_ne/

Step 4:Copy the Oracle Home from source(ERP122_Source) to target(erp1226):

Step a:Create Required directory structures on target with 'oracle' ownership and permissions

root@host:~# mkdir -p /u01/erp1226/db
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/erp1226/db


Step b: Take tar backup on ERP122_Source(Source Environment)

cd /u01/ERP122_Source/db
 tar -cvf /u04/ERP122_Source/db/dbhome_1.tar dbhome_1 &

drwxr-xr-x  82 oracle   oinstall      87 Jan 18 10:32 dbhome_1
-rw-r--r--   1 oracle   oinstall 3711308097 Jan 18 17:36 dbhome_1.tar.gz

Step 5:On Target: Extract and give required permissions.


APPS:
======
cd /erpapp/erp1226/fs1
tar -xvf /u04/ERP122_Source/apps/EBSapps.tar

DB:
====
cd /u01/erp1226/db
tar -xvf /u04/ERP122_Source/db/dbhome_1.tar

After extracting DB home please give the required permisssion VVIMP

root@host:~# cd /u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1/bin
root@host:/u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1/bin# chmod 6751 oracle
root@host:/u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1/bin# ls -l oracle
-rwsr-s--x   1 oracle   oinstall 258934216 Jan 31 12:51 oracle

-------------------------------------------------------------

Note:Take oraInst.loc backup

I created oraInventory directory in $ORACLE_HOME and updated new location in oraInst.loc and the issue resolved.

-bash-4.1$ cd $ORACLE_HOME
-bash-4.1$ pwd
/u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1
-bash-4.1$ mkdir oraInventory
-bash-4.1$ cd oraInventory
-bash-4.1$ pwd
/u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1/oraInventory

-bash-4.1$ mv oraInst.loc oraInst.loc.org (backup oraInst.loc.org)

-bash-4.1$ vi oraInst.loc
-bash-4.1$ cat $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc
inventory_loc=/u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1/oraInventory

Cloning of Database:
===========================
We can use various techniques for cloning depending on the backup policy and availability of Database.
Here I have discussed few approaches. Please follow your own approach depending on backup you have.

Step 7 a:Backup Database:(ERP122_Source)
===========================

run {
allocate channel ch1 device type disk;
allocate channel ch2 device type disk;
allocate channel ch3 device type disk;
allocate channel ch4 device type disk;
allocate channel ch5 device type disk;
allocate channel ch6 device type disk;
backup as copy database format '/u04/ERP122_Source/db/data/%b';
release channel ch1;
release channel ch2;
release channel ch3;
release channel ch4;
release channel ch5;
release channel ch6;
}

This completes the database restore and recovery.

Step 7 b:Post Clone Steps on Database node

Now the Database is up. We need to Source the Environment and complete the post clone steps.


a.Execute FND_CONC_CLEAN to cleanup nodes entries of source Database.( as 'apps' user)
                           exec fnd_conc_clone.setup_clean;

b.Run Autoconfig
$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/$CONTEXT_NAME
./adautocfg.sh


-bash-4.1$ ./adautocfg.sh
Enter the APPS user password:
The log file for this session is located at: /u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1/appsutil/log/erp1226_host/02052136/adconfig.log

AutoConfig is configuring the Database environment...

AutoConfig will consider the custom templates if present.
        Using ORACLE_HOME location : /u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1
        Classpath                   :

:/u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1/jdbc/lib/ojdbc6.jar:/u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1/appsutil/java/xmlparserv2.jar:/u01/erp1226/db/dbhom

e_1/appsutil/java:/u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1/jlib/netcfg.jar:/u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1/jlib/ldapjclnt11.jar

        Using Context file          : /u01/erp1226/db/dbhome_1/appsutil/erp1226_host.xml

Context Value Management will now update the Context file

        Updating Context file...COMPLETED

        Attempting upload of Context file and templates to database...COMPLETED

Updating rdbms version in Context file to db112
Updating rdbms type in Context file to 64 bits
Configuring templates from ORACLE_HOME ...

AutoConfig completed successfully.



c.Execute post clone script on Database for Data Masking


--VIMP check fnd_nodes uat-cm2
--Change the node name
update fnd_concurrent_queues set node_name='orace_erp_host' WHERE node_name in 'uat-CM2';
commit;

UPDATE XXerp_MISSN_CAPABILITY_DTLS set MISSION_CAP_STATUS_CODE = '1234';
commit;

--For Faster adcfgclone Execution
Execute package body APPS.WF_CLONE .


This completes the Database Cloning


(Note :Before starting application run cmclean.sql and than start applications )

Before starting Application cloning, modify FND Template as below for faster application tier cloning:
cd $FND_TOP/admin/driver/
vi fndtmpl.drv
txkWfClone.sh INSTE8_SETUP to txkWfClone.sh INSTALL_SETUP


Step 8: APPS CLONING:(erp1226 :12.2.5)

Take backup of context file before configuring load balancing in APPS NODE

c) Change the URLs previously in Context File configured for Load Balancing in PROD and run autoconfig.

s_external_url http://erpdev.erp.ae:8020
s_login_page http://erpdev.erp.ae:8020/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
s_webentryhost erpdev
s_webentrydomain erp.ae



If we are working in Oracle SuperCluster Environment we need to start the application with the below commands:
=====================================================================================================================

We need to start the erpuat applications with 'clrg' command as 'root' user from APPS NODE1:


# clrg online cm-rg
# clrg online opmn-rg
#cluster status

(OR)
Source the Apps Environment.

cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
./adstral.sh

Step 12: Post clonning steps after Application Tier cloning. 

Changing password:
======================

a)system and sys database users:
----------------------------------

alter user system identified by welcome1;

alter user sys identified by welcome1;


FNDCPASS apps/welcome1 0 Y system/welcome1 SYSTEM APPLSYS new_pass


b)sysadmin password:
=========================

FNDCPASS apps/welcome1 0 Y system/welcome1 USER SYSADMIN welcome6

FNDCPASS apps/welcome1 0 Y system/welcome1 USER rafi welcome6


FNDCPASS apps/welcome1 0 Y system/welcome1 USER sysadmin Welcome789


c)Postclone steps for to clean up FND_NODES entries for concurrent Manager:
==========================

Execute cmclean.sql by connecting with 'apps' user.

To make sure all the Database and Applications service comes up smoothly follow below approach

Shut down the Application tier services.

On App node:
------------

cd $ADMIN_scRIPTS_HOME
./adstpall.sh


d) Execute autoconfig on apps node than on db node and than again on apps node

On DB node:
----------
cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/$CONTEXT_NAME

./adautocfg.sh

On App node:
------------

cd $ADMIN_scRIPTS_HOME
./adautocfg.sh

ONLY if require do below steps:

C )Update the Node information for all Concurrent Managers from Concurrent Manager Define to current node name and

Restart concurrent managers using adcmctl.sh


d) Postclone steps for discoverer:
====================================


1)Update Discoverer URL in Context File ( Application Tier - s_disco_url):


2)For Discoverer Copy the new DBC file and change the name in lower case on Discoverer Server

Hi DBAs,

Below are the steps required to be done in order to migrate Oracle ERP Applications from one server to another. These steps are successfully tested in my Test Oracle ERP Servers.

Note 1: My source and Target Environment is EBS 12.1.3
Note 2: This is applicable for Windows 2008 R2 server but somewhat similar steps can be applicable to Windows 2012 R2 or Windows 2016 server)
Note 3:All the steps are done on the Target Application Server
Note 4:Make sure you change the source server name and assign the same name to target Windows server in order to have backup of source Application server and not much changes is required in CONTEXT FILE if you have same Drives on Source and Target Application server.
Note 5: Please change server names,Directory structure and Environment files based on your servers.
as one need to spend some time in order to do this activity successfully.

Preparatory Steps:

1. Install MKS Toolkit on Target Server( we can also install CYGWIN ) . It is recommended to install MKS from Oracle Support. 2.Install VISUAL Studio of same Windows OS version(2008 R2). Planning and Execution Steps: 1.Shutdown Oracle ERP Applications(adstpall.sh) Source(ERP APPLICATIONS) Command prompt Run As Administrator: Source Env file APPSERP.env cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME ./adstpall.sh 2.Check firewall and connectivity from DB to Apps Tier and verify the port is open using telnet on Target(ERP APPLICATIONS) telnet hostname port telnet testhost 1521 connected means it is working fine, if it says trying add the firewall rules and allow port and try again. 3.Copy Apps Files from Source to target Target Server (Initiate copy From Target Server) 4.Modify PATH Environment variable to execute perl K:\oracle\apps\tech_st\10.1.3\perl\5.8.3\bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread; => In First line and remove rest of the variables if exists. 5.Change compatibility to Windows Server 2003 SP1 in K:\oracle\apps\tech_st\10.1.2\oui\bin for setup.exe  6.Change compatibility to Windows Server 2003 SP1 in K:\oracle\apps\tech_st\10.1.3\oui\bin for setup.exe 7.Make sure INST_TOP is renamed on new Target(ERP APPLICATIONS) (Run as Administrator on new command prompt). cd K:\oracle\apps\apps_st\comn\clone\bin  Execute  perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier 8.Verify logs of adcfgclone and confirm no errors exists. adcfgclone logs Applications tier: $COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/CloneContext_<timestamp>.log This log shows the entries selected during execution of adcfgclone command 9.Execute autoconfig on Apps Tier and copy env file APPSERP_testhost.cmd from backup to APPL_TOP cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME ./adautocfg.sh 10.Replace ADMIN Directory(K:\oracle\inst\apps\ERP APPLICATIONS_testhost\ora\10.1.2\network) with admin_bkp and Reboot the Target(ERP APPLICATIONS) 11.Compare Services properties in old and new server and set accordingly. Restart the new Target (ERP APPLICATIONS) Application server 12.Compare Firewall rules in old and New  PROD Apps servers and copy accordingly and Validate with telnet 13.Execute cmclean(K:\oracle) 14.Start the Applications (adstral.sh) Target (ERP APPLICATIONS) cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME ./adstral.sh Post Execution and Sanity Checks: 1.Configure Oracle Workflow inbound and outbound server settings and validate workflow mailer is up and running and test mailer 2.Complete Sanity checks for Database ,Applications, Concurrent Programs ,SSO and Workflow Mailer Enjoy Apps DBA Tasks...

Hi DBAs,

Recently we faced a strange issue which became a show stopper for us.

Database Configuration Assistant was not showing the database and  Configure Database Options and it was greyed out(disabled).

 We tried setting up ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME and ran dbca but it was not showing the database and the above option was  greyed out.

We checked and verified the oratab file for correct entry for the database we were trying to access from dbca but still it was greyed out.

To resolve this issue I utilized all my experience and knowledge at last was able to resolve it. The issue was simple and silly but sometimes small things matter.

Below are steps used to resolve this issue:

Step 1:

Make sure the ORACLE_HOME is some thing like below : /u01/app/oracle/12.1/dbhome in /etc/oratab file

(Note we should not have '/' after dbhome)

Step 2:

Check the value of the configuration of  RAC Database:

srvctl config database -d testdb1

Where: testdb1=> DB Name.

Now change the ORACLE_HOME value as below:

srvctl modify database -o /u01/app/oracle/12.1/dbhome

Where:  /u01/app/oracle/12.1/dbhome=> ORACLE HOME location.

Make sure you don't use '/' after dbhome.

Step 3:

Now launch 'dbca' bye setting correct Environment.

Now you should see the option enabled for Configure Database Options after launching dbca.


Enjoy troubleshooting Database....

Happy DBA Learning...

Please Study Oracle Workshop Admin guide and practices DBA tasks to get compatable with Exam.
Below link also can be helpful. All the best. Enjoy DBA tasks.


https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/ADMIN/E41484-15.pdf

Hi DBAs,

It is important we share what we do in DBAs life to help ourself and others. I've done many implementation projects recently related with Database Security. One of the them was TDE which was pending in my blog posts . I've decided to share the steps involve in implementing Transparent Data Encrption(TDE) using fast offline conversion method for entire Oracle Database. We can follow the similar steps in Oracle RAC or Standalone Database Except few additional things need to done for Oracle RAC Database.


Prerequisite:

Make sure you have applied the patch 23315889(fast offline conversion patch) if you are on Oracle 11g Database or latest CPU patches are applied which already include all the mandatory patches before proceeding with below steps.

Below steps can be used for Oracle 11g,12c , 18c, 19c Databases

Step 1: Take a Backup of  Database using RMAN.

Make sure you have full Database backup using RMAN and Validated.

Step 2: Take Backup of  $TNS_ADMIN ( $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin) Directory

Please take backup of network configuration files which includes backup of  $TNS_ADMIN Directory of $ORACLE_HOME in all the DB nodes.

Step 3: Make Sure You Inform Application owners or End User for Downtime

Please make sure you take sufficient downtime based on the size of your Database if it is Production Environment . If you have identical test environment as Production , we have very good opportunity to make a note of timings at each step of implementation phase. It will surely be useful.

Step 4:Shut down applications

If you are using Oracle ERP Applications make sure all the applications are stopped with adstpall.sh script or other applications it needs to be completed stoped.

Step 5:Create a specific wallet by specifying the wallet location in the  sqlnet.ora file(sqlnet_ifile.ora in Oracle ERP Environment).

$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin is the location where you find network configuration files( sqlnet.ora or sqlnet_ifile.ora(In Oracle ERP) needs to be modified).

sqlnet.or or sqlnet_ifile.ora contents :

ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION =
(SOURCE = (METHOD = FILE)
(METHOD_DATA =
(DIRECTORY = /home/oracle/wallet/$ORACLE_SID)
)
)

Note: DIRECTORY location like above makes it easier to copy wallet files across multiple databases. However we are free to have any location of our choice.

Step 6: Restart Database instance and Listener for Oracle RAC Environment running on node1 and node2  or Listener and DB in Standalone DB using SQLPLUS

After completing step 1 to step5 perform step 6 mandatory. This is important to detect the wallet location by Database.

Make sure you bring down all the instances and databases services from all the other nodes if you are working in RAC Database Environment. All the steps need to be performed from DB node1 or Primary Database Instance and all the other instances and Database services are down in other servers.


DB node1:
=====================
[root@dbhost01 bin]# su - oracle
[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ srvctl status database -d testdb
Instance testdb1 is running on node dbhost01
Instance testdb2 is not running on node dbhost02
[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ srvctl status listener
Listener LISTENER is enabled
Listener LISTENER is running on node(s): dbhost01,dbhost02
[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ srvctl stop instance -i testdb1 -d testdb
[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ srvctl status database -d testdb
Instance testdb1 is not running on node dbhost01
Instance testdb2 is not running on node dbhost02
[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ srvctl stop listener -n dbhost01
[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ srvctl status listener
Listener LISTENER is enabled
Listener LISTENER is running on node(s): dbhost02
[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ srvctl start listener -n dbhost01
[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ srvctl status listener
Listener LISTENER is enabled
Listener LISTENER is running on node(s): dbhost01,dbhost02
[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ srvctl start instance -i testdb1 -d testdb
[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ srvctl status database -d testdb
Instance testdb1 is running on node dbhost01
Instance testdb2 is not running on node dbhost02
[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$


Step 7:Create the wallet and Set the Master Encryption Key.

Initiate a new SQL*Plus session.
This causes the changes to sqlnet.ora and the environment variable to be picked
up by the new session.

SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------
testdb

SQL> select status from v$instance;

STATUS
------------
OPEN

Set the Master Encryption Key.

Check below:
==========

SQL> select instance_name,status,database_status from gv$instance;

INSTANCE_NAME    STATUS       DATABASE_STATUS
---------------- ------------ -----------------
testdb1        OPEN         ACTIVE


SQL> select * from gv$encryption_wallet order by inst_id;

   INST_ID WRL_TYPE
---------- --------------------
WRL_PARAMETER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STATUS
------------------
         1 file
/home/oracle/wallet/$ORACLE_SID
CLOSED

(or)

select * from v$encryption_wallet;


SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET ENCRYPTION KEY IDENTIFIED BY "Mywork8t5_mydbacomp";

System altered.

NOTE: Ensure that the password string is contained in double quotation marks ("").


Step 8: Shutdown & Startup  the database normally, ensuring that the wallet is open: 


[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ sqlplus "/as sysdba"

SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------
testdb

SQL>shut immediate

Step 9:To configure auto login for wallet (optional), do the following

Command: orapki wallet create -wallet "/home/oracle/wallet/$ORACLE_SID" -auto_login

[oracle@dbhost01 admin]$ orapki wallet create -wallet "/home/oracle/wallet/$ORACLE_SID" -auto_login
Oracle PKI Tool : Version 11.2.0.4.0 - Production
Copyright (c) 2004, 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Enter wallet password:     Mywork8t5_mydbacomp
                    
[oracle@dbhost01 admin]$

Verify autostart of Database is working as expected:
=======================================
[oracle@dbhost01 admin]$ srvctl status database -d testdb
Instance testdb1 is running on node dbhost01
Instance testdb2 is not running on node dbhost02
[oracle@dbhost01 admin]$ srvctl stop instance -i testdb1 -d testdb
[oracle@dbhost01 admin]$ srvctl status database -d testdb
Instance testdb1 is not running on node dbhost01
Instance testdb2 is not running on node dbhost02
[oracle@dbhost01 admin]$ srvctl start instance -i testdb1 -d testdb
[oracle@dbhost01 admin]$ srvctl status database -d testdb
Instance testdb1 is running on node dbhost01
Instance testdb2 is not running on node dbhost02

Step 10:Backup the wallet

Using 'cp' command copy the wallet files in separate directory and verify it.

[oracle@dbhost01 testdb1]$ pwd
/home/oracle/DBA/backup/wallet/testdb1
[oracle@dbhost01 testdb1]$ ls -ltr
total 8
-rw-------. 1 oracle oinstall 2917 Apr 19 21:00 cwallet.sso
-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 2840 Apr 19 21:00 ewallet.p12
[oracle@dbhost01 testdb1]$


Step 11: Copy the wallet to DB node2 in the same location as DB node1.

Copy the wallet to DB node2 in the same location as DB node1 and make sure in the sqlnet.ora and sqlnet_ifile.ora file has the same location defined.

$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin is the location where you find network configuration files( sqlnet.ora or sqlnet_ifile.ora(In Oracle ERP) needs to be modified).

sqlnet.or or sqlnet_ifile.ora contents :

ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION =
(SOURCE = (METHOD = FILE)
(METHOD_DATA =
(DIRECTORY = /home/oracle/wallet/$ORACLE_SID)
)
)

oracle@dbhost01 testdb1]$ pwd
/home/oracle/wallet/testdb1
[oracle@dbhost01 testdb1]$ ls -ltr
total 8
-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle asmadmin 2840 Apr 19 20:17 ewallet.p12
-rw-------. 1 oracle oinstall 2917 Apr 19 20:47 cwallet.sso
[oracle@dbhost01 testdb1]$ scp ewallet.p12 cwallet.sso oracle@dbhost02:/home/oracle/wallet/testdb2
ewallet.p12                                                                           100% 2840     2.8KB/s   00:00
cwallet.sso                                                                           100% 2917     2.9KB/s   00:00
[oracle@dbhost01 testdb1]$

Step 12:Verify DB Instances and Services on DB node1 & DB node2.

Now you can start the instance on Database Instance and Database services on DB node2 and verify it is running.

[oracle@dbhost01 admin]$ srvctl status database -d testdb
Instance testdb1 is running on node dbhost01
Instance testdb2 is running on node dbhost02

[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ srvctl status listener
Listener LISTENER is enabled
Listener LISTENER is running on node(s): dbhost01,dbhost02

(OR)

For Testing purpose only

We can also verify DB node2 is started after copying ewallet.p12 and cwallet.sso:
===========================================================
[oracle@dbhost02 testdb2]$ ls -ltr
total 8
-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 2840 Apr 19 21:08 ewallet.p12
-rw-------. 1 oracle oinstall 2917 Apr 19 21:08 cwallet.sso

[oracle@dbhost02 testdb2]$ srvctl stop instance -i testdb1 -d testdb
[oracle@dbhost02 testdb2]$ srvctl status database -d testdb
Instance testdb1 is not running on node dbhost01
Instance testdb2 is not running on node dbhost02
[oracle@dbhost02 testdb2]$ srvctl start instance -i testdb2 -d testdb
[oracle@dbhost02 testdb2]$ srvctl status database -d testdb
Instance testdb1 is not running on node dbhost01
Instance testdb2 is running on node dbhost02
[oracle@dbhost02 testdb2]$

Make sure all the Database Instances and Services are Up before proceeding next step.

Verify as below:
[oracle@dbhost01 admin]$ srvctl status database -d testdb
Instance testdb1 is running on node dbhost01
Instance testdb2 is running on node dbhost02

[oracle@dbhost01 ~]$ srvctl status listener
Listener LISTENER is enabled
Listener LISTENER is running on node(s): dbhost01,dbhost02



Step 13: Find out all the Temporary and Undo Tablespaces in the Database


SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------
TESTDB

SQL> select tablespace_name from dba_tablespaces where contents='TEMPORARY' and STATUS='ONLINE';

TABLESPACE_NAME
------------------------------
TEMP
PG_TEMP
MG_TEMP
TG_TEMP
TMP

SQL> select tablespace_name from dba_tablespaces where contents='UNDO' and STATUS='ONLINE';

TABLESPACE_NAME
------------------------------
UNDOTBS1
UNDOTBS2


Step 14: Create a script called tbsp_offline.sql script to bring tablespaces 
other than system, sysaux, temp and undo offline: 

cd /home/oracle/DBA/scripts/tde_scripts

$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL>set heading off
 SQL>set linesize 150
 SQL>spool tbsp_offline.sql
SQL>select 'alter tablespace '||tablespace_name|| ' offline;' from dba_tablespaces where tablespace_name not in ('SYSTEM','SYSAUX','TEMP','PG_TEMP','MG_TEMP','TG_TEMP','TMP','UNDOTBS1','UNDOTBS2','MY_TEMP');
SQL>exit
Now edit the tbsp_offline.sql script to remove all lines other than alter tablespace commands.

(testdb):
-------------------
Don't delete line just comment extra lines as done below:

[oracle@dbhost01 tde_scripts]$ ls -ltr
total 36
-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall  2181 Apr 17 15:00 tbsp_offline_orig_17Apr2019.sql
-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 12025 Apr 17 15:07 datafiles_encrypt_orig_17Apr2019.sql
-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall  2175 Apr 17 15:21 tbsp_offline.sql
-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall  2150 Apr 17 15:21 tbsp_online.sql
-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 12031 Apr 17 15:23 datafiles_encrypt.sql
[oracle@dbhost01 tde_scripts]$ cat tbsp_offline.sql
--SQL> select 'alter tablespace '||tablespace_name|| ' offline;' from dba_tablespaces where tablespace_name not in ('SYSTEM','SYSAUX','TEMP','PG_TEMP','MG_TEMP','TG_TEMP','TMP','UNDOTBS1','UNDOTBS2','MY_TEMP');

alter tablespace USERS offline;
alter tablespace TEST1_TS offline;
alter tablespace TEST2_TS offline;
alter tablespace TEST3_TS offline;
alter tablespace TEST4_TS offline;
alter tablespace TEST5_TS offline;
alter tablespace TEST6_TS offline;


--7 rows selected.

Step 15: Create script for to Encrypt datafiles of Tablespaces

Create a script called datafiles_encrypt.sql containing the commands to encrypt your datafiles,
except system, sysaux, temp and undo.Include all TEMP and UNDO tablespace names from the database in your TESTDB instance, in the exclusion list.

$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL>set heading off
 SQL>set linesize 150
 SQL>spool datafiles_encrypt.sql
 SQL>select 'alter database datafile ''' || file_name ||''' encrypt;' from dba_data_files where tablespace_name not in (('SYSTEM','SYSAUX','TEMP','PG_TEMP','MG_TEMP','TG_TEMP','TMP','UNDOTBS1','UNDOTBS2','MY_TEMP');

SQL>exit

Verify the Script.

[oracle@dbhost01 tde_scripts]$ cat datafiles_encrypt.sql
--SQL> select 'alter database datafile ''' || file_name ||''' encrypt;' from dba_data_files where tablespace_name not in --('SYSTEM','SYSAUX','TEMP','PG_TEMP','MG_TEMP','TG_TEMP','TMP','UNDOTBS1','UNDOTBS2','MY_TEMP');
alter database datafile '+DATA/testdb/datafile/user_ts_ts01.dbf' encrypt;                                       
alter database datafile '+DATA/testdb/datafile/test_01_ts.dbf' encrypt;                                           
alter database datafile '+DATA/testdb/datafile/test_02_ts.dbf' encrypt;                                         
alter database datafile '+DATA/testdb/datafile/test_03_ts.dbf' encrypt;                                             
alter database datafile '+DATA/testdb/datafile/test_04_ts.dbf' encrypt;                                             
alter database datafile '+DATA/testdb/datafile/test_05_ts.dbf' encrypt;                                           
alter database datafile '+DATA/testdb/datafile/test_06_ts.dbf' encrypt;     

--7 rows selected.                                     
                                       
                                               
Step 16: Create a script called tbsp_online.sql script to bring Encrypted tablespaces online now 


--SQL> spool off
[oracle@dbhost01 tde_scripts]$ cat tbsp_online.sql
--SQL> select 'alter tablespace '||tablespace_name|| ' online;' from dba_tablespaces where tablespace_name not in ('SYSTEM','SYSAUX','TEMP','ace_TEMP','STAR_TEMP','EMGR_TEMP','TMP','UNDOTBS1','UNDOTBS2','EAGLE_TEMP_TS');

alter tablespace USERS online;
alter tablespace TEST1_TS online;
alter tablespace TEST2_TS online;
alter tablespace TEST3_TS online;
alter tablespace TEST4_TS online;
alter tablespace TEST5_TS online;
alter tablespace TEST6_TS online;


--7 rows selected.

[oracle@dbhost01 tde_scripts]$


Step 17: Execute the script for bringing the tablespaces offline

cd /home/oracle/DBA/scripts/tde_scripts

sqlplus "/as sysdba"

SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------
testdb

SQL> @tbsp_offline.sql

Tablespace altered.

Step 18: Execute the script for Encrypting the Datafiles of the tablespaces.

cd /home/oracle/DBA/scripts/tde_scripts

sqlplus "/as sysdba"

SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------
testdb

SQL> @datafiles_encrypt.sql

Database altered.

Note: If we have a large number of datafiles , we can parallelize their encryption by creating sub-scripts  and running the sub-scripts from parallel SQL*Plus sessions.

Step 19: Execute the script for bringing the tablespaces online

cd /home/oracle/DBA/scripts/tde_scripts

sqlplus "/as sysdba"

SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------
testdb

SQL> @tbsp_online.sql

Tablespace altered.


Note: Some tablespaces may take time to show as online. These are probably tablespaces that are encrypted.

*Check the status of tablespace encryption by connecting to SQL*Plus / as sysdba
and running the query shown:

$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL>select tablespace_name, encrypted from dba_tablespaces;

Note: Be aware that unless an auto login keystore is created, every time the database is started up the wallet will need to be opened.


Note: In Oracle 12c we can use below command to create auto login

$ sqlplus / as sysdba
$ administer key management create AUTO_LOGIN keystore from keystore "<Wallet Path>" identified by "<Wallet Password>";

Please refer below link for more details on it:

https://oracle-base.com/articles/12c/multitenant-transparent-data-encryption-tde-12cr1


Step 20: Bounce database and listener , verify auto login is working .

Verify the Database , Listener and Do Complete Health check of the Database.
Start the Applications.
Validate Database connectivity with TOAD, SQL Developer and every component is working as expected.
Make sure all the instances and Database services are up & running. If you have DR Database copy the wallet to same location as Primary Database and Sync it and Verify the DR DB is in sync with Primary.

sqlplus "/as sysdba"

Hi DBAs,

I'm happy to share my knowledge and experience based out of one cloning experience in EBS 12.2 Environment. I faced this issue while doing cloning. Sharing my experience .
I'm making this post short and sweet.
