different fixed_date in RAC DB and Instance [message #409996]

Looks like I can set the different value for initialzation parameter FIXED_DATE in each RAC instance and DB?

Is there any relationship for the fixed_date between RAC Instance and RAC DB ? I thought the value of init paramter in RAC DB should be consistent with Rac instance.

http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams073.htm

As per as i know; This parameter should be null in RAC environment; You can configure same date & time from OS level.

Thanks

I mean I am doing a test to set fixed_date for Rac DB and instance .

If I set different value for each instance,
for example
rac_inst1 fixed_date = 01/01/2009
rac_inst2 fixed_date = 01/01/2008

I am thinking if I try to get the fixed_date value for RAC DB, what I will get ? Looks like RAC DB just create a conntion to random instance, and get a value from that instance.

So looks like I will get a random value with either 01/01/2009 or 01/01/2008, is it right? Do I have other ways to control what value i can get ?

What problem are you trying to solve?
How would an independent observer conclude the problem has been solved?

I hope to understand how we can get the paramter value for RAC DB when different RAC instance has different values.

In my case,
rac_inst1 : fixed_date = 01/01/2001
rac_inst2 : fixed_date = 02/02/2002
rac_inst3 : fixed_date = none

in this case, what I will get when I check the fixed_date value for rac DB?

maybe the issue is more simple.

Can we set different value for init parameter fixed_date as different value for different instance?

If it is not correct case, then I don't need to worry about it.

Thanks,

Why do you want to set this parameter?

I need it for a test case.

Now I think that fixed_date is a instance level paramter, and we should not check it from DB level .

How are you setting this parameter?

If you want to go to a particular instance you could consider setting up services with RAC and/or configuring your listener to go to one particular instance.

I set it from oracle EM. I know it can be set in single Instance DB as below

alter system set fixed_date = '19-APR-1978';

but I don't know the normal process to set it in Rac from sqlplus? Will we access one rac instance and issue the alter command? will it affect the whole RAC DB (all instances ) or just that instance?

Thanks,

Use the following to set the parameter for one particular instance:

alter system set fixed_date = '19-APR-1978' scope=both sid='rac_inst1';
