Unable to Extend OEM 13.3 Domain to Add an Additional OMS

While trying to add an additional OMS to the current OEM 13.3 GCDomain using the provisioning console there’s an error in the Install homes step.  

The error contains the following message:

Caused by: oracle.sysman.oii.oiif.oiifb.OiifbEndIterateException:
oracle.sysman.oii.oiif.oiifb.OiifbEndIterateException: SEVERE:Values for the following variables could not
be obtained from the command line or response file(s):
MYORACLESUPPORT_USERNAME(MyOracleSupportUsername)
Silent install cannot continue.

This issue is related to Bug 28290139 and the workaround can be found in MOS 2432095.1 After performing the workaround the OMS addition job needs to be executed from scratch. This resolves the issue.  

Thanks,
Alfredo

GoldenGate 11G Install on Linux x86

Today I will show you how to install GoldenGate under Linux 5.5 following the recipe of my teammate Gleb.
Prerequisites:
·          Oracle Linux 5.5 installed in 2 VM using VirtualBox, I have used one pre-built VM from Oracle (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/databaseappdev-vm-161299.html)
·          Download Oracle GoldenGate software from (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/goldengate/downloads/index.html)
·          Start both VM machines and change the host name to source_host & target_host respectively
·          Test ping connectivity from source_host to target_host
Installation
·          Create /01 directory and change the owner to oracle:dba on source_host:
[oracle@source_host Desktop]$ su –
Password:
[root@source_host ~]# cd /
[root@source_host /]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1              11G  2.7G  6.9G  28% /
/dev/hdb1              12G   11G  683M  94% /home
tmpfs                1014M  264M  750M  27% /dev/shm
[root@source_host /]# mkdir /u01
[root@source_host /]# chown oracle:dba /u01
[root@source_host /]# exit
Logout
·          Copy GoldenGate binaries to /u01 and unzip the file, then create goldengate directory under /u01 and untar the file:
[oracle@source_host Desktop]$ mv ogg112101_fbo_ggs_Linux_x86_ora11g_32bit.zip /u01/
[oracle@source_host Desktop]$ cd /u01
[oracle@source_host u01]$ ls

·          At this point GoldenGate is installed and configured in both Source & Target hosts, Extract/Replicat processes are running, now the funny part begins. Let’s test our replication environment!
·          In the Source DB run the below command:

SQL> create table sender.test_tab_1 (id number,rnd_str varchar2(12));
SQL> insert into sender.test_tab_1 values (1,’test_1′);
SQL> commit;

·                     ·          Now check the Target DB:

SQL> select * from receiver.test_tab_1;
ID         RND_STR
———- ————
1          test_1

Our GoldenGate DDL and DML replication is now working. The table was created on the Target DB and data were replicated.

Thanks,
Alfredo
