 Comes from #!/bin/sh on the first line. You must run some kind of
 extraterrestrial Unix where sh is not located under /bin (perhaps
 /usr/bin ?). You can insert a line with : _before_ the first one (and
 nothing else than : in first column) but if I were you I would simply
 create a symbolic link to the true location of sh under /bin.

I would rather guess your script (./genclntsh) don't have right
UNIX-persmissions.

Try set it executable:  chmod +x ./genclntsh

Re: the ora certified masters cert, yet again

2002-06-28 Thread Don Granaman

I absolutely am NOT saying that anyone with an OCP is incompetant, a bad
person, or any other such thing.  Some of the best DBAs I've known were OCP.
Some weren't.  Some of the very worst DBAs I've known were OCP.  Some
weren't.

I simply think that its main value (other than the totally artifical value
of being a common checklist item for hiring authorities now) is to get
people to study, learn, and try things out. However, those things don't
really require a certificate, ILT classes, or checks made out to Oracle.

I agree that this thread is worn out.

Good morning Don,

I know that you are not suggesting that those with the
OCP are bad persons.

Listers, I suggest that we drop this topic now, since
it might start to offend if it goes further. We all
have much more in common that we have that divides us,
and this topic is a downright silly thing to risk
hurting each other over. It is worth far less than the
harmony of this community.

Re: Tuning NON-network client-server communication

Yes,

Because, in short, you still use Net8 or SQLNet or what ever they call it
now.  Sure the protocol adapter is different but every thing else is the
same. I have seen big improvements by changing SDU/TDU with pipes on
Net8. Beaware that most pipe have a max TDU limit of 5K (HP is 8K).

*** I swear this will be my last post on the issue.

If I've offended anyone, they have my most sincere appology.  However, I
think you have interpreted this wrong.  I have never said or implied, nor do
I remember seeing anyone else say, that anyone with an OCP is trying to
cover up for some deficiency.  In the post that you replied to, I said a
few... that waved their OCP around like it was a Nobel prize.  These (two)
people were - quite obviously.  The vast majority of OCPs I've known,
including many on this list, are not like that at all.  Many got it because
it is now a market necessity.  Some got it to get an entry-level DBA
position.  A few that I know got it just to see if they could pass all the
exams without any preparation.

My problem is not with people who have it, it is with the marketing and hype
that has made it mandatory - regardless of level of exerience or anything
else.  And also with Oracle's most recent greedy exploitation of the
situation they created.

Will I get it?  Probably.  (I don't want to be the only one left without it
and it looks like Kirti's gonna go for it now. ;-)

I've been lucky that my last two jobs I got because someone I had worked
with previously called me (a VP and a CTO).  However, when and if I have to
go looking again, I'll likely need it just to clear the HR checklist hurdle
and land an interview.  (Unless I get lucky again).

Lets see...  What do I need to do in the next few months...  Finish building
and testing a Linux 9i RAC system, set up new software for the MML on every
server and migrate all the backups it and a new tape library, diagnose and
redesign | tune significant parts of a custom in-house application, move two
other internal Oracle systems to bigger servers, spend a couple of weeks
reviewing and hardening a client's nine exclusive Oracle8i systems in
Chicago and one 8i OPS system in Texas (all but one using literally every
option Oracle offers in 8i, including iFS - which I haven't yet had
time/motivation to learn), do a security and architectural assessment of a
prototype 8i system that another client wants to install in *thousands* of
retail locations around the world, do the standard only DBA in a shop full
of developers development support and production thing, work with the CTO
and VP on developing a disaster recovery plan, *perhaps* write a white paper
(or two) and a presentation (or two) for OOW 2002, and, oh yeah, ... study
for and take about six essentially entry-level DBA exams before Oracle ups
the ante again.  Sorry, but if I had a choice, I'd rather sleep
occassionally instead.  I don't really need any more flaming hoops to jump
through.  I imagine there are a lot of people like me out there who feel the
same way.

I've been pretty quiet while you all said that the OCP program was pretty
worthless because I can see your point. I don't believe that it proves that
the holder is technically better than someone has isn't certified. From my
point of view, though, I'm convinced that in a tight market it's helped to
get me into interviews and that justifies the cost to me.
Now, however, you're straying towards calling OCP DBAs liars and cheats and
implying that we're dangerous to have on site and I'm sorry but I'm not
going to have that.
What merit is there in saying doctors have malpractice insurance and OCP
... should have one too.. Where's the evidence for that kind of witless
comment?
I originally took my OCP after amassing 10 years of DBA experience. I don't
want to get into a pissing contest over this but it grates on me to have it
constantly implied that OCP is just there to make up for lack of ability.
I'm aware that many of you (Don for instance) have qualified their
statements by saying that applies to a few or some but the implication
is still that the majority of OCPs are trying to make up for some sort of
technical deficiency.

If you don't want to spend the money or the time then that's fine by me. I
certainly won't it necessary to criticise you for it.

Here is some information about the db.
Database size- 20GB
Optimizer - CHOOSE
Disk Structure - RAID 1+0
No. of processors - 4
Block Size - 8K
Archivelog mode : ARCHIVELOG
Please tell me what should be the ideal way I should try to trace the problem. I thought of running UTLBSTAT/UTLESTAT or STATSPACK and asked the user to run that part of the appln. Has anybody workedwith STATSPACK before ?
Can anybody tell me what shouldaccurate and fastest way to hunt down the problem ? I think its something to do with indexes or changes in the queries.
Also can someone tell me the ideal backup strategy for this databaseconsidering the fact thatit's a 24x7 system.
Thanks in advance .

RE: the ora certified masters cert - finally bloody sick

2002-06-28 Thread Hately Mike

I kind of regret perpetuating this thread now. It should have died
gracefully on Wednesday really.
You seem to have a quiet year ahead of you Don. Plenty of time left for
hoop-jumping =)

Unfortunately it now seems to be an even heavier financial undertaking than
it used to be. It brings it home to you when people are talking about
blowing their 'boat budgets' and suchlike. Rather than imposing mandatory
course attendance it may have been an idea for Oracle to actually make the
exams harder to encourage people to attend courses voluntarily and to
increase the number of failures/retakes. Also it would have helped the image
of the OCP program. 
They've just strengthened the evidence (if that were needed) of OCP being
simply a useful revenue stream.

Never mind,

I'll call it; this thread has gone. Time is now 12:16GMT.

2002-06-28 Thread Connor McDonald

My favourite question - because you need pretty much
only this one to occupy the entire interview:

Over there on the far wall is a 6x6m white board.
Assuming the space is an 'Oracle database', start
filling the blanks in terms of memory, disks, files,
caches, buffer etc with all the connecting lines. 
Start broadly and continue generating more and more
levels of detail until you want to stop or we want you
to stop.  We want to know your favourite and least
favourite bits

At the end you have a remarkable insight into:

- their knowledge on oracle database + instance

- their ability to convey information.  We had one guy
who drew a great level of detail but literally spent
50 mins with his back to us drawing with not a single
word, after which he sat back down.

- their ability to do it in front of a small audience
(which I think is critical for a DBA - we don't want
sit-in-the-corner-saying-nothing-zombies)

- their pet peeves, for example, they'll be describing
temp tspace and might throw in a man, i hate it when
smon takes forever to clear up space or something to
that effect

- their priorities (if they spend half an hour on the
spin_count parameter then maybe their barking up the
wrong tree)

- their honesty (one key element I look for is some
point where they say I *DONT KNOW* how this bit
relates to this bit)

It is also very controllable - you can gently nudge
them from one section of oracle to another - they
might be describing redo logs and you can throw in so
how would they get from here to a standby? etc etc.

It normally works very well - although on one occasion
we asked this of a candidate and he burst into tears
and ran from the room :-(  I went home feeling
guilty...which eventually transformed itself into a
sadistic and maniacal grin :-)

Cheers
Connor

 I suspect that if you are getting 4030s with 50 concurrent users that
 you will get NO benefit from MTS, in fact it will likely cause just the
 problems you are seeing and you will start to get 4030s sooner than you
 would have before.
 
 MTS is not appropriate as a tool to address your 4030 errors if the
 sessions are not inactive for more than a few seconds. If the concurrent
 sessions are very active (check v$session's last_call_et field) and you
 are still running into 4030s than MTS will not help you, and can
 actually cause a performance hit (CPU) that is scary. The key thing to
 remember is that MTS provides SCALABILITY, performance is indirectly
 affected if at all.
 
 If you are running into 4030s there are a number of other approaches you
 can take as well. Application tuning is the best place to start, but
 more often then not, not possible. Then go to the obvious (that others
 have mentioned) like using statspack to get a look at the usage of your
 buffer cache. In your case you may have to reduce the size of your SGA
 to allow for more user space. Don't fall for the buffer cache hit ratio
 needs to be x%. If you are in an application env where most blocks are
 rarely seen in more than one query then you need a different approach to
 buffer cache tuning than hit %. This is a book in and of itself, but
 fairly intuitive.
 
 Given that you are stuck with your current application, the very first
 thing you also will want to look at is the Orastack utility to reduce
 the memory usage of each server process' stack. I have seen DBAs in your
 situation have their 4030s resolved with this alone. 
 
 The other is upgrading your OS (or properly setting it) to NT EE or
 Win2k AS. This will allow you to use a 3gb process size. If you haven't
 done this it will surely fix your memory shortage (at least until you
 get another 50 users :)).
 
 You can also scale out by adding more nodes with OPS, although I'd
 strongly suggest that you move to 9i before doing this! Finally, you can
 use OPS/RAC on a single box, a bit of a fancy trick, but it allows you
 to have multiple instances if you have the system memory available.
 
 Ramble, ramble, ramble, for more info you can come to my presenation at
 OpenWorld (or just send more info/questions!)

 Michael ,
 
 I have tried all of them , but still performance is very bad. When
 switch to dedicated mode I get ora:04030..  Have you ever switched to
 MTS and seen the same performance , I wonder if you are sure about MTS
 performance is good. What ever I did did not give the same performance
 as dedicated connections even not approached.

  You really don't need MTS with no more than 50 concurrent users unless
 
  you
 are running into ora-4030s or other memory problems.
 
  When you say performance is a problem, have you check OS swapping of
 memory to disk? Your SGA might be too big (with AS and the 3GB switch no
 bigger than 3GIG, without the 3GB switch only 2GB) and end up swapping
 out to disk.
 
  You also need to make sure that only OLTP users (users with short 
  txns,
 NOT long running batch jobs, big updates, etc) are connecting via MTS.
 All batch/DSS type users should be connecting via dedicated server. You
 can have them specify this in their tnsnames.ora.
 
  That said, your MTS config is WAY out of whack given the number of
 concurrent users:
 
  You only need ONE dispatcher to start with. Change dispatchers to 1 
  unless
 you have multiple NICs you are working off of for a particular
 segmentation of users. (50 dispatchers would be appropriate for about
 12,000 Concurrent
 users)
 
  If your total number of concurrent OLTP users is truly 50 set your min
 servers to 60. Max servers is fine.
 
  You should also set your large pool instead of a massive shared pool, 
  all
 kinds of reason for doing this!!
 
  If you have a chance go to borders or barnes and noble, sit down and 
  read
 chapter 7 (Oracle Connectivity) of my book Oracle9i for Windows 2000
 Tips  Techniques. It covers the setup, monitoring and basic tuning of
 MTS.
 
  I hope this helps,
 
  Mike Sale
 
 
 
  
   mts_max_servers=750
   mts_min_servers=100
   dispatchers=50
   users total  750
   users concurrent at most 50

Re: Oracle Performance Tuning steps

Please run STATSPACK - which will give systemwide database performance
diagnostics
- you could check the hitratios, top wait events and resource consuming
queries
once report taken - upload it to www.oraperf.com - for suggestions
check metalink article
NOTE.149121.1 Gathering a StatsPack snapshot - if you can
log into metalink
Thanks,

I looked into the database. There r some waits happening on the undo
blocks (non-system) but could not figure out whether this could possibly
cause such a slowdown of the system. Also there were some indexes newly
created on some of the tables which are causing problems.
What's the best approch anyways to hunt down the problem in a situation
like this ?

Subject: Oracle Performance Tuning
steps
Hi guys ,
Need some help. Actually we are looking here at a Oracle 8.1.7 db on
HP-UNIX. The application was running fine uptil yesterday. Suddenly a part
of the appln is running extremely slow. I can not figure what might be
the problem. Wanted to track this down asap.
Here is some information about the db.
Database size - 20GB
Optimizer - CHOOSE
Disk Structure - RAID 1+0
No. of processors - 4
Block Size - 8K
Archivelog mode : ARCHIVELOG
Please tell me what should be the ideal way I should try to trace the
problem. I thought of running UTLBSTAT/UTLESTAT or STATSPACK
and asked the user to run that part of the appln. Has anybody worked with
STATSPACK before ?
Can anybody tell me what should accurate and fastest way to hunt down
the problem ? I think its something to do with indexes or changes in the
queries.
Also can someone tell me the ideal backup strategy for this database
considering the fact that it's a 24x7 system.
Thanks in advance .
