Install with Dbvisit OS User & ASM Upgrade
Environment
Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.3 with Oracle e-Business suite clone (per e-Business process).
Upgraded source database ASM only from 11 to 12c.
Dbvisit Replicate 2.7 was installed as
dbvisit
OS user separate fromoracle
OS user but with group permissions onoinstall
,asmadmin
,dba
.
Configuration
Source database server to run FETCHER.
Intermediary server to run MINE.
Target host to run APPLY.
Problem
FETCHER failed to start on source server.
Solution
As the environment configuration is using separate OS accounts to manage the Grid Infrastructure (GI_HOME
) and the oracle RDBMS ORACLE_HOME
, the RDBMS $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle
binary must be able to access the ASM disks. This is accomplished by permitting the RDBMS oracle
binary access using the following command as GI user:
Shutdown database.
Run:
sudo su - grid
Execute:
/e01/app/12.1.0/grid/bin/setasmgidwrap -o=/e02/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/oracle
Startup database.
Once the modification is applied, dbvisit (which has access to the oracle binaries) is able to access the redo logs.
NOTE: Due to the above modification, the archive log generation owner/group changed from oracle:oinstall
to oracle:asmadmin
. You still have to add the asmadmin
group to dbvisit
with read/copy permissions on the archive logs. See the following Oracle support documents for further details:
