What is the best practice?  Use YES or clone of binary oracle from a server used as a build server?

I joined a new company, and the oracle DBA resident ordered a Linux server as the build server and has installed a 11g (11.2.0.4.0) and a set of 12 c (12.2.0) binaries on it.

I was tasked to document this cloning method for new installations of Linux binaries.

Right now, I wonder why not just download the zip file for appropriate operating system files, copy them to the new target server, start a Windows X, run YES and then patch to the newer PSU after...

Instead, I informed by the holder oracle DBA that the binary oracle cloning and make the config. changes, create directories, setting permissions and scp'ing things, change the oraInventory, oraInst.loc, oratab, etc... is the best way to go.

I am not convinced.  I've never worked in a company that has had the luxury of $$ to pay licenses core processors to have an installation of the oracle binary on a server only to be used for the installation of oracle on new target servers.

Oh, and in addition, the use of dbca is discouraged so I'm rather to clone an existing dB from another server...

Views of the benefits and drawbacks of this approach vs. YES and dbca gui tools are highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

  • What are the best practices framework OA customizations autour?

    Hello

    We make many customizations in our case.

    What are the best practices around customizations.

    How to document?

    What is a good practice to make all the customizations by using functional Adimistrator?

    Kind regards

    Sandra

    Best place for this question would be OA Framework

    What are the best practices around customizations.

    What do you mean by that? There is one way you can do customization. But the functionality can be achieved differently, in this case, it will be very specific in what you want to achieve.

    If you reference how to do customization, such as aid of the functional administrator or go to the page and clicking in the Customize link in the page or by using the xml file and using XMLImporter, it is not really important.

    If ask you questions about the migration of customization, you can either export to leave an instance and import them into another instance using functional administrator or XML importer. Or do it manually again.

    The XML importer is usually easy and need less documentation from the point of view of migration.

    How to document?

    If you migrate manually, could better document the steps with screenshots.

    If not, document changes in the screen as well as the reference to the downloaded file customization.

    What is a good practice to make all the customizations by using functional Adimistrator?

    This is one of the option.   I don't see anything wrong with that.

    By accessing the page could be more easily test the change.

  • A listener by server or a listener instance?  What is the best practice?

    I joined a company owner and new oracle DBA uses a listener and a port (by default) by server.  We have 7 instances of oracle on a server database using the same listener.  I always created a new listener. / netca or make entries manually by database instance. / dbca

    What is the best practice?  My argument for the creation of a separate listener is to be able to restrict connections and accelerator by database using the parameters and the params of the listener.  With a listener, it seems impossible to use several listener settings or settings since all the dB to use it only a listener.  Also if the listener does not have any new connection for all the dB to use it on the server.

    What is the best practice?

    The best practice is what works best for you in your particular environment

    Personally I have found don't have much need to adjust the configuration of the listener for each separate instance so in my environment of each server has 1 single earphone that is shared by several bodies. I can see your points about the benefits of having separated from listeners, but also additional administration required for the best answer is the one that is right for you. Some of the servers I maintain may have up to 20 instances (development) so having 20 listeners is probably a little more work I want keep.

  • What are the best practices for creating only time data types, and not the Date

    Hi gurus,

    We use 12 c DB and we have a requirement to create the column with datatype of time only, if someone please describe what are the best practices for the creation of this.

    I would strongly appreciate ideas and suggestions.

    Kind regards
    Ranjan

    Hello

    How do you intend to use the time?

    If you are going to combine with DATEs or timestamps from a other source, then an INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND or NUMBER may be better.

    Will you need to perform arithmetic operations on time, for example, increase the time to 20%, or take an average?   If so, the NUMBER would be preferable.

    You are just going to display it?  In this case, DAY INTERVAL in SECONDS, DATE or VARCHAR2 would work.

    As Blushadow said, it depends.

  • What is the best practice for a 'regular' Server VMware and VDI environment?

    What is the best practice for a "regular" VMware Server and VDI environment?   A single environment (ESXi and SAN) can accommodate two if it is a whole new configuration?  Or even better to keep separate?

    Enjoying inputs.

    Quick and dirty answer is that "it depends."

    serioulsy, it depends really two things budget and IO.  If you had the money for two without then buy two and don't have to host your server environment and the other for VDI desktop, their IO profiles are completely different.

    If this is not the case, try to keep each type of use for their own dedicated LUN.

  • Big 2 TB + vm - what is the best practice?

    Hello

    Our file server currently uses the measure with a total area of 4 to DS. The virtual machine contains 11 vDisks with sizes ranging from 50 GB to 1.35 to totaling 3.8 TB of data. each vDisk belongs to a division within the company. We are running out of space on the DS, and we need to make changes.

    I did read something positive on the use of measurement other than for a short fix.

    Question: What are the best practices to go forward get rid us of the widespread use, it has been suggested, we look at DFS or perhaps a new virtual machine intended only for the major divisions.

    If we add a new disk and that it points to an another DS on it's own logic unit number, we run into the trouble of storage vMotion, try to group the disc under a store.

    I'm sure that there are large organizations out there running in this situation, any guidance is appreciated!

    See you soon

    If you need a file server, that SFR might be a solution.

    You can use vmdk as well on the same VM, or more file servers.

    For other purposes, you can use the junction to mount a drive in a folder.

  • What are the best practices for a new employee to learn inside the instance of their business of Eloqua as efficiently as possible?

    We have companies everything changed at some point in our lives. And we all go through the process in the first weeks, where you feel new and are just trying to figure out how not to get lost on your way in the mornings.

    On top of that, trying to familiarize yourself with your new company Eloqua instance can be a daunting task, especially if it's a large organization.

    What are the best practices for new employees to learn as efficiently and effectively as possible?

    I am in this situation right now. Moved to a much larger organization. It is a huge task trying to understand all the ins and outs not only society, but also of the eloqua instance, especially when she is complex with many points of integration. I find that most of the learning happens when I really go do the work. I spent a ton of time going through the programs, documentation, integrations, etc., but after awhile, it's all just words on a page and not absorbed.

    The biggest thing that I recommend is to learn how and why things are made the way they are currently, ask lots of questions, don't assume not that things work the same as they did with your previous employer.

    Download some base in place level benchmarks to demonstrate additional improvement.

    Make a list of tasks in the long term. As a new pair of eyes, make a list of things you'd like to improve.

  • What is the best practice

    Hi all

    I need to create calculated columns that are based on columns in different logical Tables (Fact).

    What is the best practice on where I should put these new columns calculated?

    Should I create a new logical table? or just add it to one of those that exist?

    Concerning

    I guess it would make sense to create a new that's logical sources will be the 2 facts you need to calculate this measure. If you need to add to the existing logical facts the source of them is changed and the other fact that may not be wanted that she could be confusing will be shown.

  • What is the best practice to merge both vMware vSphere environments?

    We recently bought another company that also manages vMware 4.

    They have a 4-node cluster and we have a 3 a node. Each is managed by its own vcentre.

    What would be the best practice to migrate all the guests and the hosts on the server main vCentre.

    Thank you

    Lance

    I choose one of the vCenters, unplug and remove hosts from the other and connect them to those elected. Configure the cluster after that (all in the same or keep the separation of the group, which I think is the best)

    You can also use related modes.

  • What is the best practice for managing for results in doubles because of several sessions

    I work with PowerCLI 5.0.  I quite often find that I have a few sessions open at the same time connected to a server that hosts a particular virtual machine and vCenter.  I ran into a problem when I tried the cmdlet Add-USBController of VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reference book.

    The following lines are (roughly) in the extract cmdlet of the book:

    $vmView get - vm 'test ' | Get-View

    $vmView.ReconfigVM_Task ($spec)

    I got the following error "method call failed because [System.Object []] contains a method named"ReconfigVM_Task"" etc.

    It turns out that I was getting an array of vmViews for 'test' (instead of one), because I had a connection to the host and vCenter.  Once I deleted the host sessions, the script worked well.

    So now my question - what is the best way to mitigate this in my scripts? At least, I guess I need to make sure that I received only an object in the view of the GET. should I remove all duplicates? kill all other sessions when I run the script?

    Thank you

    Maureen

    The best method is to use the server parameter on cmdlets where it is available, in this way, you can limit the objects returned to this server for vSphere.

    If you have multiple sessions on the same server from vSphere open, you could direct the result of a Select-Object cmdlet.

    Like this

    Get-VM-name MyVM-Server $vcenter | Select - 1 first

    I recently updated for CS4 to CS5.5 and wanted free space hard disk on my Windows 7 PC. I wanted to uninstall only a few programs but CS4, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and bridge. What is the best way to do this without forgetting approval, deactivation, and removal of components? I have the original installation disc for CS4 if necessary. Thanks for any help!

    I will give you the ability to disable all run through the uninstall process.  Simply go to start > control panels > programs & features.  You can find Adobe's CS4 and select uninstall it or remove the option.  Then follow through the guests.
