In a previous blog, I explained how it is possible to create an LDAP/LDAPs Authentication Provider on WebLogic. My initial goal wasn’t just to setup an LDAP/LDAPs on WebLogic Server. That was only a first step needed in order to automate the setup of a SAML2 Single Sign-On linked with the authentication from a LDAPs. Therefore, in this blog, we…
In a previous blog, I explained how it is possible to create an LDAP/LDAPs connection from a Documentum Content Server automatically/silently (without any need for a GUI). So I thought I would do the same thing but from a WebLogic Server to have the full chain from the Application to the backend, all connected to the LDAP/LDAPs. This blog isn’t…
In the scope of an upgrade project, with some colleagues, we have been deploying some D2-REST applications on Kubernetes pods using WebLogic Server. As explained in a previous blog, we first tried to upgrade our D2-REST 4.x into 16.4 but faced a small error. I don’t know if you already used/deployed D2-REST but it seems to me that the deployment…
In the scope of an upgrade project, with some colleagues, we have been deploying some D2-REST applications on Kubernetes pods using WebLogic Server. At the beginning, we started using D2-REST 16.4 and that was working properly (once the issue described here is fixed (and some others linked to FIPS 140-2, aso…)). After that, we tried to switch to higher versions…
Nowadays I have been working on an interesting customer project where I had to migrate windows oracle standard databases to ODA. The ODAs are X7-2M Models, running version 18.5. This version is coming with Red Hat Enterprise Linx 6.10 (Santiago). Both windows databases and target ODA databases are running PSU 11.2.0.4.190115. But this would definitively also be working for oracle…
Below, I will try to explain, a particular case for the general error : ORA-01555 snapshot too old error.. Normally, when we have this error, we are trying to adapt the retention parameters or to tune our queries. SQL> show parameter undo; NAME TYPE VALUE ———————————— ———– —————————— temp_undo_enabled boolean FALSE undo_management string AUTO undo_retention integer 3600 –extended from 900,…
The scope of this blog will be to show how to create a primary role database based on a backup of a standby database on 12cR2. Step1: We are assuming that an auxiliary instance has been created and started in nomount mode. rman target / restore primary controlfile from ‘backup_location_directory/control_.bkp’; exit; By specifying “restore primary” , will modify the flag…
On a DG environment, a datafile needs to be recovered on the STANDBY site, in two situations : when is deleted or corrupted. Below, I will explain how to recover a corrupted datafile, in order to be able to repair the Standby database, without to be necessary to restore entire database. Initial situation : DGMGRL> connect / Connected to “PROD_SITE2″…
Oracle Clusterware 18c builds on this innovative technology by further enhancing support for larger multi-cluster environments and improving the overall ease of use. Oracle Clusterware is leveraged in the cloud in order to provide enterprise-class resiliency where required and dynamic as well as online allocation of compute resources where needed, when needed. Oracle Grid Infrastructure provides the necessary components to…
At one client’s site, I had to restore a table someone had partially deleted one week before. Before Oracle 12c, we had to duplicate the target database to another server, and then to export and import data to the target database. But depending on the database size, it could cost a lot of time, and as nobody knew when the…
It should never happen but sometimes it happens. You just lost your datafiles as well as your fast recovery area (probably because most of the time these areas are on the same disks despite the recommendations). Normal restore operations with RMAN are quite easy and secure as far as you have backupsets for database, archivelogs, and spfile/controlfile: Step 1 –…
Backup on disk with RMAN is great. It’s fast, you can set as many channels as your platform can handle for faster backups. And you can restore as fast as you can read and write files on disk with these multiple channels. As far as you’re using Enterprise Edition because Standard Edition is stuck to a single channel. Disk space…
