Plan B: Renovate old Apps Server Hardware

Plan B: Renovate old Apps Server Hardware

Overview:
I had a situation to renovate the hardware of very old server and we do not have idea about some of the application running, It may be fresh installation of application can create performance issue and also we are facing the complexity of same patched version oracle binaries. I planned to restore the whole system through the system restore policy and restore and recover the database with the RMAN cold backup and after performance tuning and testing the different aspect of oracle will provide the same IP configuration to the new server.

Scenario:

This scenario assumes that we have two networked Windows 2003 hosts, DBSERVER and DBSERVER1. A target database named SADHAN is on DBSERVER and is registered in Recovery catalog RMAN. We want to Restore & Recovery of SADHAN on DBSERVER1, while original database server DBSERVER is completely offline. In my case the O/S is Windows

Changing National Character Set AL16UTF16 to UTF8

Changing National Character Set AL16UTF16 to UTF8 The national character set is used for data that is stored in table columns of the types NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, and NCLOB.  In contrast, the database character set is used for data stored in table columns of the types CHAR, VARCHAR2 and CLOB. Like the database character set, the national character set is defined when the database is initially created and can usually no longer be changed, at least not easily or without involving quite a lot of work (export, recreate database, import). Except when creating the database, where the national character set is defined explicitly, it can change implicitly even when upgrading the database from Oracle8i to Oracle9i (or Oracle10g). You require SYSDBA authorization to change the national character set. Changing the national character set means changing an Oracle Dictionary entry, but no data is changed.  $sqlplus /nolog SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA SQL> Select property_...
