  1. 11i Cloning Panel Panel Moderator: Sandra Vucinic March, 8 2004 NCOAUG Conference Presenter For Custom Solution – Surender Sara

  2. Panel Members • Marc Vieux – Chicago Public Schools • Raman Batra - GE Comm. Finance • Surender Sara - Verities Solutions • Sandra Vucinic – Solution Beacon

  3. Agenda • Available cloning methods • Differences between methods • Cloning Options available for each method • Introduction to 11i cloning • 11i Cloning at Chicago Public Schools • Custom “F.A.S.T” Method • Questions

  4. How can I clone an Oracle Applications 11i System? • Available methods: • Cloning using AD Clone utility (adclone.pl) • Cloning using Rapid Clone • Custom cloning methods such as F.A.S.T

  5. What are differences between available cloning methods? • Cloning using adclone.pl method • Applicable for all 11i releases up to 11.5.5 that are not AutoConfig enabled • adclone.pl method requires that you run Rapid Install and apply RDBMS and Technology Stack patches to target system

  6. What are differences between available cloning methods? • Cloning using Rapid Clone • Applicable for all 11i systems that have migrated to AutoConfig and enabled Rapid Clone

  7. Which cloning method is best for your environment? • The best method depends on: • Version of applications: • Prior to version 11.5.7 (adclone.pl) • Version 11.5.7 and higher (Rapid Clone) • Version of Database: • 8i (adclone.pl and Rapid Clone) • 9i (Rapid Clone only)

  8. What cloning options are available for each method?

  9. Cloning 11i • More than one method…. • Ad Clone • Rapid Clone • Custom methods (F.A.S.T etc) • 11.5.9 Enhancements (Application Manager console) • With same end goal(s) • Create copies of environments • To support DEV/QA/Test/Training activity • Create separate “sandboxes”

  10. Cloning 11i in a nutshell • Why is Cloning 11i different…. • 11i Architecture • Two distinct application delivery methods • Forms (Applets) and HTML/JSP • Application Technology Stack different from earlier releases

  11. Java Compatible Web Browser (Jinitiator) Database (8i/9i) 11i Technology Stack Desktop Tier Forms Server Discoverer Server Reports Server Administrative Server Application Server Tier ConcurrentProcessing Server Web Server Database Tier

  12. Cloning 11i in a nutshell • The Process…. • Create a system map of “From” and “To” • Document your source and targets (file systems, paths, port numbers) • Copy Applications and Database Tiers (binaries and files) • Clone the database instance and rename it. • Update key Application related Database Profile tables • Edit key Configuration and Environment files on the related nodes

  13. Cloning 11i in a nutshell • The Process…. • Relink Applications Programs on related nodes (not always needed) • Create a new banner (logo.gif, if applicable) • Regenerate Java Archive Files (JAR Files) (not always needed)

  14. CPS Environment • Oracle Applications 11.5.8 • Multi-Node HPUX 11.11 • 9.2.0.4 Database • EMC 8830 Symmetrix • Recently Migrated from 11.0.3/8.0.5 • First to 11.5.7 on 8.1.7 • Then 11.5.8. on 8.1.7 • Currently 11.5.8 on 9.2.0.4

  15. RapidClone in Action at CPS • Sync/Split a BCV • BCV Set includes full App Tier and DB Tier file systems • Mount BCV to Development Hardware • Change Directory Names, Owners, Perms • Modify the DB tier Oracle_Home • Oracle_Home Edits • <sid>.env • Tnsnames, Listener.ora • Nmliblist • Relink Oracle_Home • Recover Database • Modify the DB tier and APP tier 8.0.6_Homes • 8.0.6_Home Edits • <sid>.env • Tnsnames.ora • Rdbms/lb/nmliblist • Make –f ins_rdbms.mk install • Make –f ins_network.mk install

  16. RapidClone in Action at CPS • Modify the DB tier and APPS tier Appl_Top • Appl_top Edits • Apps<sid>.env • Custom<sid>.env • Adovars.env • <sid>.xml • Run $COMN_TOP/editcontext/editcontext • Run $AD_TOP/bin/adconfig.sh • Edit IAS_Home/Apache/Apache/bin/appachectl • Startup the App Tier First • Modify your Profile Options. • Cancel Pending Conc. Reqs.

  17. F.A.S.T Cloning • The Method • Identify the data you need to change and list that in a file,<old><new> value pair • Get the directories where changes will be imposed into a file • Run the perl script to make changes automatically under those directories using <old><new> value pair

  18. F.A.S.T Cloning • Script new structure creation • Create new Directories ( APPL_TOP, 806, iAS, 8i home) (scripted) • Create database using RMAN duplication (scripted) • Run the perl script to make changes • Run $COMMON_TOP/admin/install scripts to change the database information

  19. F.A.S.T Cloning • Example Snippets ( sun solaris ) • Create new Directories tar cf - . | compress -c | rsh ora3800 "(cd /u01/app/oracle/product; uncompress -c | tar xf -)“ • create a file with dir list • loc1=/u017/app/oracle/admin/ows/PSGOLD/httpd_apps280 • loc2=/u017/app/oracle/product/PSGOLD816/Apache/Apache • loc3=/u017/app/oracle/product/PSGOLD816/Apache/Jserv

  20. F.A.S.T Cloning • Advantages • Setup once for a given Source-Target instance pair • Fully automated into touch button cloning • Works on all releases 10.7 NCA, 1103, 11.5.X • Used at 20 clients or so personally • Disadvantages • Not for junior DBA • Not oracle supported • FULL Scripts and paper can be found at www.veritiesllc.com
