Migrating Single Node Apps/EBS R12 DB to RAC

Being running on single node for a while for EBS, it was the time to test integration / migration of EBS to HA on DB side i.e. to 11gR2 RAC. As you are aware that R12 is packed with 11.1.0.7 aka 11gR1 binaries. So you have to first migrate them to 11gR2 Binaries.

1. The migration of single node DB to 11gR2 binaries
2. Migrate the 11gR2 EBS DB to RAC Grid database aka multinode env.

This post assumes that you have installed and configured the 11gR2(11.2.0.1) Grid Home and 11gR2 RAC RDBMS Home.

Following are the high level steps for the entire process.

1) Install and configure 11.2.0.1 cluster on 2 nodes
2) Install 11gR2 RDBMS Oracle Home on 2 nodes
3) Install Application patches
4) convert non-rac database to RAC database
5) Enable autoconfig on database and application nodes
6) Startup services and verify services

For the sake of readability I have not covered the step 1 and step 2, as they are the SOP for any RAC setup. Also you will find numerous blogs and Oracle Documentation on the same, so no point in keep repeating :)
I will cover steps 3 to 6 in this write up

Here it should have displayed the spfile from +DATA disk group but it was showing as from cooked file system.

The reason being is that, I already had an spfile under dbs on old Oracle Home. So I just renamed it and start the DB with pfile option and forcing DB to use spfile from +DATA Disk group as follows

So far so good. Now comes the most interesting part of the process i.e. Converting the Non RAC database to RAC database. There are several ways we can achieve this

1. DBCA

2. rconfig

3. Oracle Enterprise Manager

4. Manually (old school way )

For this post, I am going to use rconfig, as its the more sophisticated way and less error prone to OEM.

So first of all you have copy the convert template from default directory to your custom directory. Since I want to convert this DB as an Admin manged RAC DB, i will use ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml template.

[oracle@apps_rac01 sampleXMLs]$ pwd

/u01/app/oracle/product/11.0/db_1/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLs
[oracle@apps_rac01 sampleXMLs]$ ll
total 8

-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 2591 Mar 4 2009 ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml

-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 2653 Mar 12 2009 ConvertToRAC_PolicyManaged.xml

[oracle@apps_rac01 sampleXMLs]$ scp ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml /home/oracle/

Open the ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml and make following changes based on your environment.

Before starting actual conversion, it is advisable to check the conversion process beforehand. So I will run the rconfig utility with ONLY option to check whether my conversion will work flawlessly or not.

[oracle@apps_rac01 ~]$ rconfig ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<RConfig version="1.1" >
<ConvertToRAC>

Got Exception

</Result>

oracle.sysman.assistants.rconfig.engine.InvalidConfigurationException: oracle.sysman.assistants.rconfig.engine.InvalidConfigurationException: SCAN Listener is not running.

</ErrorDetails>

</Response>

</Convert>

</ConvertToRAC></RConfig>

Since my SCAN Listeners were down, error was thrown as above. So its time to start SCAN Listener and run the utility again.

[oracle@apps_rac01 db_1]$ cd /u02/app/11.2.0/grid/bin/

The issue was that my listener was running from RAC ORACLE_HOME. The default listener has to running from GRID Home.

With this RCONFIG went ahead, just to give another error.

Workaround was pretty simple this time and just created the arch directory on both nodes and there I was done.

RCONFIG didn't complain this time.

-- Start the Apps Tier Services

[oracle@appsnode_new appl]$ adstrtal.sh apps/apps

You are running adstrtal.sh version 120.15.12010000.3

The logfile for this session is located at /u01/app/oracle/visr12/inst/apps/visr12_appsnode_new/logs/appl/admin/log/adstrtal.log

Now log-in to apps console and navigate to system administrator responsibility -> OAM -> Database status. You can see now both the nodes available and active as follows.

Set Up Load Balancing On Apps Tier

Now its time to implement load balancing for the Oracle Applications database connections...

Run the Context Editor (through the Oracle Applications Manager interface) and set the value of "Tools OH TWO_TASK" (s_tools_two_task), "iAS OH TWO_TASK" (s_weboh_twotask) and "Apps JDBC Connect Alias" (s_apps_jdbc_connect_alias).

To load balance the forms based applications database connections, set the value of "Tools OH TWO_TASK" to point to the <database_name>_balance alias generated in the tnsnames.ora file.

To load balance the self-service applications database connections, set the value of "iAS OH TWO_TASK" and "Apps JDBC Connect Alias" to point to the <database_name>_balance alias generated in the tnsnames.ora file.

Execute AutoConfig by running the command
[oracle@appsnode_new appl]$ adautocfg.sh

Restart the Applications processes, using the new scripts generated by AutoConfig.
Ensure that value of the profile option "Application Database ID" is set to dbc file name generated in $FND_SECURE.

Hope that this post will help you in your Apps to RAC migration successfully. Comments are welcome.
