Using HP Serviceguard extension for Oracle E-Business Suite B.01.00, September 2010
with the -e <packagename> option to start up only the primary packages
and
enable switching.
The APPS and DB packages of EBS should be configured in two separate
recovery groups. In Continentalclusters, Recovery group is used to
define a
set of related primary packages on one cluster and the recovery
packages on
another cluster that protect the primary packages. The cmrecovercl
command,
when run, will start up the recovery packages and enable switching
during
the cluster recovery operation. The cmrecovercl command may only be
run when
there is an outage at primary site and a timeout has occurred. The DB
Tier
package should be recovered first. Once the DB Tier package comes up
on the
recovery cluster, the APPS Tier package can be recovered. Recover
individual
recovery groups by using the following commands:
# cmrecovercl -g DBTier_RecoveryGroup
# cmrecovercl -g APPSTier_RecoveryGroup
Running the cmrecovercl with option -g starts up only the recovery
package
configured in the specified recovery group.
NOTE:
The configuration details provided are based on release A.07.01 of HP
Continentalclusters.
NOTE:
After the cmrecovercl command is issued, there is a delay of at least
90
seconds per recovery group as the command makes sure that the package
is
not active on another cluster. Use the cmviewcl command on the local
cluster to confirm that the recovery packages are running correctly.
K. Troubleshooting Tips
Oracle E-Business Suite is a complex product and has strong dependency
on the configuration environment. It is not recommended to make
configuration changes when the application is up and running. To avoid
undesirable problems, always ensure that the following recommendations
are followed:
1. Always bring up the DB Tier package prior to the APPS Tier package.
The DB Tier and APPS Tier can run on the same node or on different
nodes of the cluster.
