orarrp question

2001-02-26 Thread grace lim

gurus,

i want my users to print their report directly to their printer rather than
to the server.

so i've  installed orarrp.exe in my computer and  updated the nt web
application server 6iserver.conf to include application/x-orarrp   rrpp
rrpa rrpr rrpt rrpi . 

 to test if it's working , a form is created  that will call an oracle
report  and specifies that it shld be output to file w/ file extension rtf.
This sample is the same as the one in the technet.  the form has a push
button to  start the report and create a timer to monitor its
progress...when i run the form nothing happens...

grace.rdf is tested working  for client server  and web.  Is there
something wrong in my code?
pls help...



here's thecode In when button pressed trigger,

declare
report_id report_object;
htimertimer;
vcfilevarchar2(255);
vcresult  varchar2(20);

BEGIN
--call_form('GETARGUS');
break;
vcfile := 'test.rrpr'; -- rich text format
report_id := find_report_object('c:\suysing\grace.rdf');  --  path where
the grace.rdf report can be found in web app. server
set_report_object_property(report_id,report_execution_mode,batch);
set_report_object_property(report_id,report_destype,file);
set_report_object_property(report_id,report_desformat,'rtf' );
set_report_object_property(report_id,report_desname,'c:\app\'||vcfile);
set_report_object_property(report_id,report_server,'Rep60_Web');
:global.reporthandle := run_report_object(report_id);
:global.printoutpurt := vcfile;
htimer := create_timer('Printer_Queue','15000',repeat);
end;

In when timer expired ( form trigger);

declare 
  vcstatus  varchar2(20);
 vctimername varchar2(30);
 htimertimer;

begin
   vctimername := get_application_property(timer_name);
  if vctimername = 'PRINTER_QUEUE' then
 vcstatus := report_object_status(:global.reporthandle);
 if vcstatus in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') then
null;
 elsif  vcstatus = 'FINISHED' then
   web.show_document('http://web/app/'||:global.printoutput,'_blank');
   delete_timer(vctimername);
 else
message('report fialed');
   delete_timer(vctimername);
end if;
 end if;
end;

Re: Oracle Designer issues and opinions

Well, there are 100% Oracle shops and only Oracle DB
shops. I've used Oracle Designer in 100% Oracle shops
and other sesign tool in Oracle DB only shops.

My main negative point with Designer it that it's
never up to the database level, the latest database
functionnality are never included in the latest
Designer version.

2001-02-26 Thread GANTI . SIVA



Oh Mitchell,

You have to set s-bit permission should be 6755 --something like that.When
user updates a record he is ultimately writing to datafiles.At that time
he should assume as file-owner.That means only thru sqlplus or thru some other
application only he can write to the file,Neither he can remove
nor he van directly write to the file.The solution is simply s-bit.Somr time
back there was a discussion on s-bit by check hamilton.Otherwise take his
advice..

RE:Big Dump file (12gb) from nt to

2001-02-26 Thread GANTI . SIVA


Hi hessu,

Your export might have been right one,Which unix r u using .can you give info..

There is a command strings  in AIX which gives all the printable characters of
any object-file or dumpfile.So try similar command in your unix.

and give the following at the command prompt

strings "dumpfile"|grep table_name  (the table you are worried) It may take
few minutes.because of the file-sizeBut it'll give some result.

Ignore any error line-length can't be more than 2048 chars.  etc.Otherwise you
can use AWK.

Otherwise narrow your import parameter file to that table only,,,And give
show=y paramater...I am not sure this'll work b'cause imp not able to read

the table_name itself. ANYWAY try with  strings command and let me know

Cheers
Ganti


Hi all,

I am facing some problems while trying to import the huge file (12gb) from
nt db to unix db.

The error I'm receiving is like this:

IMP-9: abnormal end of export file
IMP-00033: Warning: Table "XXX_" not found in export file...

I am using the pipe but still it fails. Here is the syntax for import

imp SYSTEM/XX FROMUSER=XXX TOUSER=XXX BUFFER=15000 IGNORE=Y TABLES=XXX
FILE=./XXX LOG=./imp.log

And the table is on that file...

RE: Tuning, RAID5, and fragmentation

2001-02-26 Thread Boivin, Patrice J

I would try to benchmark the system to show where the bottleneck(s) is(are).
Probably I/O, possibly the CPU if you are using NT RAID5 instead of a
hardware solution.  If your machines aren't real servers, then the disk
controller will slow things down as well, in many PCs there is one
controller for everything, even if you have two slots for plugging devices
like hard disks.  It just flip flops between the two constantly.

At least benchmarking will help get rid of the perception that "Oracle is
slow".

Is this on NT?  If it is RAID5 implemented at the NT level, the MS SQL
Server 7 Administration Training Kit manual, p. 128 says that its
disadvantage is that is "uses system processing resources".  So you may be
overutilizing your CPU as well.

RAID5 is good for reading data, but not for writing because the parity info
has to be updated.

To avoid having to defrag or coalesce your extents, just make sure all your
extents are exactly the same size within the tablespace, and that the
extents are a multiple of your db_block_size.  There is an Oracle paper on
this concept, if you want it send me an e-mail.

I guess this isn't Oracle Enterprise Edition...

Presuming a DBA is forced to use RAID5, what elements of tuning
become
irrelevant? (in the sense that if you're stuck with RAID5, warts and
all, then trying to tune X, Y, and Z would be a waste of time /
ineffective).

Load balancing files would be one thing.. no way to put indexes and
tables on different disks (ditto redo log file members, etc) with
one
massive RAID5 volume.

What about fragmentation and coalescing? Are these still a concern
for
tablespaces located on RAID5 volumes?

Has anyone written an article about Oracle and "living with RAID5"?
I'm
finding that a customer has several Oracle databases on systems with
nothing else but RAID5 storage for everything.


Thanks very much.

Speeding up Java on NT

2001-02-26 Thread Boivin, Patrice J

Hi,

Are there any patches to go with the 8i databases?

We can patch the RDBMS, I was wondering if there were patches anywhere for
the Java components.  I didn't find any in oracle-ftp.oracle.com.

I would like to see Java run faster on NT.  (Please don't tell me that the
solution would have been for Sun to accept Microsoft J++ !)

Just wondering, I always want to make the databases run faster, and 8i seems
to be a bit of a beast.

RE: Anyone using CA products?

2001-02-26 Thread Boivin, Patrice J

[begin rant]

I spent a week and a half  (while doing regular work, of course) trying to
just INSTALL the ManageIT Framework, and couldn't make the client console
and the server exchange messages.  I could see all the devices on my
network, but I couldn't send a simple message from the server to the client,
or the other way around, I can't remember now and I de-installed the whole
thing.

Finally CA support (sounding a little annoyed at me for asking my sales rep
why they hadn't called me back) said: "You just want to use the DBA tools?
You don't need the framework for that!  It's nice to have, but not
necessary."  

Strangely, their trial kit manuals all list how to install the Framework
before listing how to install the DBA tools.  A Framework CD ships with
every DBA tool they sell - so now I have three of those CDs.  Maybe they
could have mentioned in their documentation somewhere that the framework is
not necessary.  I also get the impression that the people who packaged the
instructions weren't there to see how their own software installs.  Sorry if
I sound a bit harsh, but if I was trying to sell a package that costs
thousands of dollars, I would make darn sure before I ship it that it is
easy to install, easy to configure.  And I prefer useful documentation in
black and white on 8  x 11 sheets of paper than glossy brochures with
instructions that don't accurately describe how to install the software.

I also find that while trying out DBA tools, all the vendors seem to assume
that this is the only thing you are doing, as if before you started testing
their product you were doing nothing at all.

2-week keys for trial software are more a hassle than a help - it
discourages people from installing software.  It always seems to take them 2
or 3 days to come up with an up-to-date key, which causes other problems.  I
have a test NT server here which blue screened after one trial key expired,
and after two re-installs of NT and Oracle 8.1.6., I keep getting blue
screens (6 in two days).  I will have to restore the server using our
enterprise backup system and pray that the server won't blue screen on me
right after the restore finishes.  What a hassle.

I remember when software companies tried to put keys on their software in
the eighties, and a company (called copywrite I think) kept coming out with
hacks to overcome these keys, because they were preventing people from
making backup copies of their diskettes.

I know they don't want us to use unlicensed software, but this is going too
far, they are discouraging people from evaluating their software.  It has to
hurt sales.  Why not put 2-month keys on their trial software?  No one would
use a product like this for just 2 months, it seems to me.  Heck it would
take at least a month just to configure everything, iron out all the bugs,
and make sure the product "fits" the environment.

Go and get a real copy of strings, its part of binutils, compile it on
your platform and not be limted by the stupid 2K buffer, you can't
expect to see much if you're doing anything with range partitions. 
Range partitions each range can have its own storage clause, you that 2K

find out from dba_tablespaces what the current pctincrease value is set to.

Then alter the storage for that tablespace to be what it was previously.

Re: TEMP tablespace segment management

2001-02-26 Thread nlzanen1


Hi,

If it is set to temporary, why bother. If you don't have enough increase
the size. Because oracle will reuse the extents in a temporary tablespace
freeing it  up won't solve a "cannot allocate extent" problem.
Otherwise you could do an alter tablespace tablespace default storage
(pctincrease 1) and than alter it back to what it was.

RE: TEMP tablespace segment management

2001-02-26 Thread Shantanu Talukder

Srini,

Answer to your question is NO, as far as I know.

Why don't you define your temporary tablespace as
'TEMPORARY' assuming your database is at least 7.3 !

Example:

alter tablespace temp temporary;


If you do so, the tablespace cannot be used to hold
any permanent segments, only for temporary segments
created during queries. When the query completes, the
space used by the temporary segment within the the
temporary tablespace is not dropped. Instead, the
space used by the temporary segment is available for
use by other queries; this allows the sorting
operation to avoid the costs of allocating and
releasing space for temporary segments.

Hm.  Well, the installation guide for 8.1.7 says it only works on Solaris
2.6 or 2.7.  So maybe version 10 is not even supported?

In fact, from the Certify section of Metalink (which is SLOOW today but

Subject:RE: Oracle 8i On solaris

Follow the installation guide VERY CAREFULLY.  Most people fail to install
Oracle on Unix because they don't read the instructions.  You must modify
kernal parameters and do other Unix admin steps prior to installation.

One thing to ignore (at least in my opinion) -- the instruction to create an
"oinstall" user.  I've found this causes more trouble than it's worth when
it comes to patching.  Just use the "oracle" user in the "dba" group.

Go to technet.oracle.com for the installation guide.

Diana

Hi everyone:

I am about to install Oracle 8i Enterprise on Sun Solaris version 10. Any
Practical documentation or site which could help me on installing and
configuring this system will be appreciated. I was away from Unix for a
while. I have already checked the Oracle.com.
I appreciate your help in advance.

Ruth,

It's probably because you work for a government agency.  I used to work for
the federal government, and have found that a lot of things have changed
since I went to private industry.  Support and dealings with some vendors
(not to mention any names) have changed dramatically.  That's still not
enough to make me want to go back to that sweatshop.

By the way, CA is less than helpful here, on the Oracle or the DB2 side of

Oracle DBA evolution path - please share your opinion

2001-02-26 Thread andrey



Dear List 
!
Some 
background : i've been around Oracle for several years , i'm DBAing for2+ 
years now , i have written some java code (jdbc , some XML etc) , perl , PL/SQL , Tcl/Tk , a lot of UNIX scripting 
.
.Where do i go to from here 
?

Many people 
say that the profession of Oracle DBA is going to be less demanded in future , 
because of : 
1) either 
other DB ( like less-expensive MS SQL Server or free MySQL) will occupy the 
market , especially in small enterprises ; 
2) or Oracle 
will "improve" the DB management and make it "point and click" , so you do not 
needa dedicated Oracle DBA at all or you need less Oracle DBAs 
.

So , the 
bottom line is : what should i learn now ? how can i extend my expertise ? In 
which fields ?

Please share 
your thoughts !
Thanks a lot 
in advance !

RE: Can Oracle7 and Oracle8 co-exist?

2001-02-26 Thread Ben Poels

Hi Scott,

Nice to hear from you again. I am migrating several
warehouses on the same server from 734 to 817. If I
use a separate owner then I won't have to worry about
running different profiles when I sign on. (heh I'm
getting older with some gray hairs and I am liable to
forget which set of databases I'm working on). I also 
can set up separate cron jobs under the different
owner sign-ins and easily migrate one warehouse at a time.
I don't really see any drawbacks to using different
owners even if it isn't a requirement.

Ben,
This is no problem.  They don't need to have different owners.  If you
are running Oracle Applications 10.7, and you want to use an Oracle 8i
instance to house it, then you must do this type of install.  You will
have 2 Oracle homes, each with it's own database listener and all
associated files.  They will be installed in separate directories, by
default.  You will need to have a way to setup your environment when you
login to pick the Oracle home you want to use and setup all of the
environment variables correctly.

Ben Poels wrote:

 Has anybody had any problems with these two

 I have them both installed now but before
 I spend a lot of time trying to break it I
 thought I'd check to see whether or not this
 has worked out at other sites.

 Hi!
 
 Got similar problems concerning database links,
 mainly slow performance, about 10% of the throughput compared to same
 processing without db_links.
 There seems to be no - or at least only poor - useful documentation for
 database links and/or
 about tuning their performance.
 
 Would be a nice new thread for ORACLE-L : "Database Links: Tuning /
 Problems
 / Tips  Traps ..."
 
 The only thing that helped ( in our case) , was to rewrite the code, in
 order to "partition"
 the old big program ( which did all ) into a bunch of small programs (
 each
 doing now only a few things).
 Also consider rewriting  your programs in such a way, that you can have
 multiple
 instances of them running simultaneously.
 You know, "divide et impera".
 
 But I'm sure, there must be a secret switch somewhere deep in Oracle's
 guts,
 Iabelled "Boost DB_LINK Performance". I just haven't found it yet ;-)

CoCreate WorkManager

2001-02-26 Thread dgoulet

To ALL,

I've been informed that a consultant from CoCreate is coming next Monday to
install their document and work manager server stuff.  It needs an Oracle
backend DB, so that's were I got called in.  I've gotten a message from the
consultant that makes absolutely no sense outside of that fact that he wants a
user names "medmgr" with GOD privileges.  Anybody out there with any experience
with this stuff??

Re: Re[2]: Re:Anyone using CA products?

2001-02-26 Thread Ruth Gramolini

Like I said, we only have Platinum DesktopDBA and the State of Vermont is to
frugal to but anything else, leastwise not for me.  Platinum does some very
neat things that OEM can't do. The consultants recommended this tool and I
had it when I came and I upgraded when we moved to 8.0.6.

I have gotten good support so far.  Knock on wood, cross you heart and spit,
it will keep on being good.

 Ruth,

 What I really did not appreciate from CA was their push to "integrate"
all
 of these products with their "intelligent Nugents" and the "Jasmine
 infrastructure".  This is "suppose" to give you an integrated environment
where
 the DBA's job will be "highly automated".  But the price tag could gag a
herd of
 elephants!  The estimate from the sales person for us was around $10M with
a
 $1.5M per year maintenance agreement.

 Also, I'm somewhat sure that CA has set up their Nugents correctly for
their
 own RDBMS, but a colleague (no name please, there's enough egg on her face
to
 last a lifetime+) up the road called a month ago.  The last SQL statement
in her
 Development DB's alert log (by the way this instance was being "watched"
by a
 fully functional Nugent) said "DROP TABLESPACE SYSTEM INCLUDING
CONTENTS;",
 after that were all ORA- something errors.  Therefore I'm not too sure
about
 CA's intelligence.

A simple little thing - I asked for the Oracle 8i Data Dictionary 
poster. The QA Specialist said that she would be happy to send it 
to me and of course it hasnt arrived yet - about a year...

I can really live without the poster but it tells me something about 
the company. If they said they didn't supply it or run out of it or 
whatever else excuse that they can not send it, I would have had 
more respect for them. What's the point of making yourself looking 
very bad with such a little thing. It looks like the support is not 
much different...

.Where do i go to from here ?
 
Many people say that the profession of Oracle DBA is going to be less

1) either other DB ( like less-expensive MS SQL Server or free MySQL) will
occupy the market , especially in small enterprises ; 
2) or Oracle will "improve" the DB management and make it "point and click"

RE: Oracle DBA evolution path - please share your opinion

2001-02-26 Thread Smith, Ron L.

Our shop uses SQL Server, Oracle NT, and Oracle on Unix.  Each has it's
place.  We purchase all our software, so we use whatever the vendor is more
comfortable with.  If you want to focus on Oracle make sure it is Oracle
Financials.  There are fewer DBA's who know Financials and they get more
money because of that.

If you are really worried about SQL Server, go ahead and learn it.

It won't take too long, and it won't cost you all that much.

Learning it would only help if you are doing consulting work though, I
think.  Shops that use Oracle are not as likely to bother with SQL Server,
but that's just a guess on my part.

Do you want to do consulting, work for a large company with enough money to
pay you, or wear many hats in a smaller shop?

It depends on what your goals are and your personal preference.

Hi Scott,

Nice to hear from you again. I am migrating several
warehouses on the same server from 734 to 817. If I
use a separate owner then I won't have to worry about
running different profiles when I sign on. (heh I'm
getting older with some gray hairs and I am liable to
forget which set of databases I'm working on). I also 
can set up separate cron jobs under the different
owner sign-ins and easily migrate one warehouse at a time.
I don't really see any drawbacks to using different
owners even if it isn't a requirement.

Ben,
This is no problem.  They don't need to have different owners.  If you
are running Oracle Applications 10.7, and you want to use an Oracle 8i
instance to house it, then you must do this type of install.  You will
have 2 Oracle homes, each with it's own database listener and all
associated files.  They will be installed in separate directories, by
default.  You will need to have a way to setup your environment when you
login to pick the Oracle home you want to use and setup all of the
environment variables correctly.

 Has anybody had any problems with these two
 versions co-existing on the same platform?
 I have them both installed now but before
 I spend a lot of time trying to break it I
 thought I'd check to see whether or not this

RE: Oracle DBA evolution path - please share your opinion

2001-02-26 Thread Mohammad Rafiq

Since version 4 and 5, it is constantly claimed by Oracle that things will 
become smoother with new version but in reality all new versions come with 
new features and more complexites. Inspite intoducing tools like Enterprize 
Manager, DBA has to be involved in all aspect of System Maintenance. With 
the advent of Internet access, maintenance of large and 24*7 databases 
becoming more sensative. In my humble opinion, demand for experienced DBA's 
may be growing and not declining in coming future.

Sure everything will be point and click! But it means nothing!
Who will open tars, report bugs, download patches, etc?!

When we're using Oracle 7, Oracle said that Oracle 8 will work by itself,
tune itself, low cost maintenance, etc.

So, tell me what happened?

Also in my opinion DBA duties includes database architect.

Dear List !
Some background : i've been around Oracle for several years , i'm DBAing for
2+ years now , i have written some java code (jdbc , some XML etc) , perl ,
PL/SQL , Tcl/Tk , a lot of UNIX scripting .
.Where do i go to from here ?

Many people say that the profession of Oracle DBA is going to be less
demanded in future , because of :
1) either other DB ( like less-expensive MS SQL Server or free MySQL) will
occupy the market , especially in small enterprises ;
2) or Oracle will "improve" the DB management and make it "point and click"
, so you do not need a dedicated Oracle DBA at all or you need less Oracle
DBAs .

So , the bottom line is : what should i learn now ? how can i extend my
expertise ? In which fields ?

Please share your thoughts !
Thanks a lot in advance !

I agree, right now it is one of the best growing job markets.  Computers
will be around forever, and until they can operate themeselves, learn on
their own and take care of themselves when they break, there will always be
a need for people like us.

Everything evolves.  It is only natural that software will become smarter,
especially with Oracle attempting to move more product into smaller
businesses.  I am an independent and work with both large and not so large
companies. I am busier that ever.  I developed my Java, application and server
side skills using affordable tools, I am Cisco certified as well. I don't
demand huge fees for consulting, and I am in demand and doing very well.

It is all about evolving.

Event 10351 -- Async I/O on Solaris

2001-02-26 Thread Diego Cutrone



Hi, list.

Has anyone used "event 10351" ?

I'm checking for Async I/O on Solaris 2.6, Oracle 
7.3.4
It works just fine over Raw Devices and It does not 
over FS (as usual). I can see this on a OS trace.

But searching on metalink I've found 
this:

"Event 10351 is also used to get information 
whether Oracle is using this aio calls or not. "

I've tried it (with level 2) and the result was 
this:


*** SESSION ID:(5.1) 
2001.02.26.18.17.41.000(ssfiasi) do_asy_ok = 1, nreqs 
= 8(ssfsync) entry, nreqs = 8, start = 0, flags = 
0x2


Does "do_asy_ok" mean that async i/o is not 
working?

Can I see more info about this, how can I find 
it?




Over raw devices I get the same 
output.


*** SESSION ID:(5.1) 
2001.02.26.18.28.32.000(ssfiasi) do_asy_ok = 1, nreqs 
= 8(ssfsync) entry, nreqs = 8, start = 0, flags = 
0x2



thanks




orarrp question

2001-02-26 Thread grace lim

gurus,

i want my users to print their report directly to their printer rather than
to the server.

so i've  installed orarrp.exe in my computer and  updated the nt web
application server 6iserver.conf to include application/x-orarrp   rrpp
rrpa rrpr rrpt rrpi . 

 to test if it's working , a form is created  that will call an oracle
report  and specifies that it shld be output to file w/ file extension rtf.
This sample is the same as the one in the technet.  the form has a push
button to  start the report and create a timer to monitor its
progress...when i run the form nothing happens...

grace.rdf is tested working  for client server  and web.  Is there
something wrong in my code?
pls help...



here's thecode In when button pressed trigger,

declare
report_id report_object;
htimertimer;
vcfilevarchar2(255);
vcresult  varchar2(20);

BEGIN
--call_form('GETARGUS');
break;
vcfile := 'test.rrpr'; -- rich text format
report_id := find_report_object('c:\suysing\grace.rdf');  --  path where
the grace.rdf report can be found in web app. server
set_report_object_property(report_id,report_execution_mode,batch);
set_report_object_property(report_id,report_destype,file);
set_report_object_property(report_id,report_desformat,'rtf' );

:global.reporthandle := run_report_object(report_id);
:global.printoutpurt := vcfile;
htimer := create_timer('Printer_Queue','15000',repeat);
end;

In when timer expired ( form trigger);

declare 
  vcstatus  varchar2(20);
 vctimername varchar2(30);
 htimertimer;

begin
   vctimername := get_application_property(timer_name);
  if vctimername = 'PRINTER_QUEUE' then

How does the relation go about and how do we decide on the number of process

Raman,

You will need to use the "smitty" facility. Just type "smitty" on the unix prompt and 
then do what ever you want to do in system admin.
