RE: 9iAS v 1.0.2.2.0 Installation Problem

2003-09-18 Thread Anderson, Brian
I remember the command window that opens and doesn't do anything.

closing it manually is what I was told so the install can continue.

I think their were also some places where it opened windows behind the installer, 
minimize the installer or check the task bar.

 Subject: 9iAS v 1.0.2.2.0 Installation Problem
 
 
 We are trying to install 9iAS 1.0.2.2.0 on a Dell Poweredge 
 2650 / P4 2Gig, we have succesfully installed this software 
 in older model machines. When we try to run the installer 
 from the distribuition media we get an error that the 
 installer did not run because it was probably aborted and to 
 run setup again. We bypassed this by downloading the OUI 
 2.8.18.2 (installer 2.2) and that way we were able to run the 
 installation. Everything seems to run fine until we get 
 towards the end a CMD windows is display and it hangs, we 
 closed it manually. Then a new CMD window is displayed and 
 some script flashes trhough, after this the installation gets 
 to 99% and it hangs. The installer shows that is installing a 
 .gif file and it stays there.
 Can somebody shed some light on me, and prompt me on a solution path? 
 
 I spent hours serching through Metalink and havn't found 
 anything that helped.
 
 I submitted a TAR, but you guys know it may take a while and 
 I'm pressed for time.

RE: How to tell Oracle the directories of script files

2003-08-14 Thread Anderson, Brian
Keep in mind that, unless they've changed the function, spool also searches the 
sqlpath for files.

If you say:
spool modify_users.sql
select 'alter user '||username||'whatever;' from dba_users;
spool off

Spool just looked in your current directory for a file named modify_users.sql to 
replace, then it followed your sqlpath for a file to replace (file permissions 
allowing), if it doesn't find one then it creates one in your current directory.

 Hello,
 Suppose I have some SQL scripts in my /home/user directories,

 If I start 'sqlplus' from console in /home/user directories, I can 
 load/execute the script by doing:
 SQL @scriptname
 
 But what if I don't start sqlplus from that directories? How do I tell
 Oracle 
 to find the scripts in /home/user, then if it's not there in
 /usr/local/bin,  
 for example? So that I can be anywhere in the filesystem when starting
 
 sqlplus and can execute my SQL script.
 
 Just like the $PATH environment variables in *nix system that tell the
 shell 
 where to find executables, is there a similar thing for Oracle?
 
 Thanks for any help.

RE: Sun=/var/messages HP-UX=???

2003-03-14 Thread Anderson, Brian
hpux 11.0 
man dmesg shows the standard setup using /var/adm/messages.

  dmesg looks in a system buffer for recently printed diagnostic
  messages and prints them on the standard output.  The messages are
  those printed by the system when unusual events occur (such as when
  system tables overflow or the system crashes).  If the - argument is
  specified, dmesg computes (incrementally) the new messages since the
  last time it was run and places these on the standard output.  This is
  typically used with cron (see cron(1)) to produce the error log
  /var/adm/messages by running the command:

   /usr/sbin/dmesg -  /var/adm/messages

  every 10 minutes.

  The arguments core and system allow substitution for the defaults
  /dev/kmem and /stand/vmunix respectively, where core should be a file
  containing the image of the kernel virtual memory saved by the
  savecore(1M) command and system should be the corresponding kernel.
  If the system is booted with a kernel other than /stand/vmunix say
  /stand/vmunix_new, dmesg must be passed this name, the command must
  be,

   /usr/sbin/dmesg [-] /dev/kmem /stand/vmunix_new

 WARNINGS
  The system error message buffer is of small, finite size.  dmesg is
  run only every few minutes, so there is no guarantee that all error
  messages will be logged.

 AUTHOR
  dmesg was developed by the University of California, Berkeley.

 FILES
  /var/adm/messageserror log (conventional location)
  /var/adm/msgbuf  memory scratch file for - option

RE: Send Mail in Unix

2003-02-13 Thread Anderson, Brian
I use mutt which has the option to attach a file.

mutt -s 'subject' -a filename user@mailserver  /dev/null

would send an attachment with no body, put a file instead of /dev/null if you want a 
body for the message.

With mailx in unix, I've been told it can be done by piping through uuencode or 
something, but I haven't done that.

I'm also sure it can be done with perl, some of the perl guru's on the list might be 
able to provide details.

 Subject: moving from dedicated connections to MTS
 
 
 Hello all
 
 First a little background.
 
 We work with oracle 8.1.6.3.4 on NT or win2000 servers.
 The technical people have just move an application server 
 behind a firewall.
 The application servers access a database that is a central 
 repository of
 user connections (i.e. all applications on the intranet 
 access this database
 for each page for each user). They saw that the application 
 works fine for a
 while and then they get access denied. They track it down to the port
 numbers in the firewall. We are working with dedicated 
 connections and it
 seems that the port numbers for each connections are climbing 
 up until they
 exceeded the range of open ports in the firewall. They said 
 that they had
 the same problems in another server, they brought an outside 
 guy (of course
 without telling the DBA group) and he solved the problem. 
 They brought me
 the init.ora file of that database (I can not access it via 
 the firewall)
 and showed me the parameters that made the difference. The guy put in:
 mts_dispatchers= ... port=8000) (5 dispatchers). Since they 
 want me to do it
 on a central and essential database I want to ask you guys:
 
 1) Any gotcha moving from dedicated connections to MTS?
 2) Is each dispatcher assigned for the current sql command 
 and then released
 or is it assigned for the duration of the session?
 3) What is the ratio of users per dispatcher?
 4) Is there a way to tell oracle to reuse port numbers for dedicated
 connections that were closed?
 5) Anything else you care to share.
 
 Sorry if my questions are somewhat trivial but we need a 
 decision tomorrow
 morning (in 18 hours) as they start doing some training session on the
 system on Sunday and time is short.
 
 TIA

 The current Oracle user and group are oracle2 and dba2. We have to

 1) Create the correct local user  group with the same home

 2) Shutdown all Oracle processes.
 3) Find . -user oracle2 -exec chown oracle {} \;
 4) Find . -user dba2 -exec chgrp dba {} \;
 5) Modify all scripts to use the correct group  user.
 6) Pray.
 7) Start the database and listener.
 8) Check for functionality  errors.
 9) Shut everything down and take a full system backup.
 
 Am I missing anything? Is there any problems with the method?

 the Fatal Error: Cannot map library libclntsh.so.1.0.  I was 
 able to fix the
 problem by resetting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to include
 $ORACLE_HOME/lib and $ORACLE_HOME/obackup.  After the change, 
 the listener
 started up, and I was able to mount the database.
 
 My issue is with the Enterprise Manager's Intelligent Agent - 
 dbsnmp.  When
 I try to run dbsnmp_start under lsnrctl, I'm getting the 
 library map error
 again, but the variable is set correctly.  Is there another 
 variable I'm not
 aware of?

RE: How do you audit a DBA?

2001-08-23 Thread Anderson, Brian

This has been discussed before, I'll try to summarize it as I remember.

Sure, you could put triggers, turn on auditing, whatever.  But the DBA
by nature of his job function, can disable, remove, whatever you turn
on.

So it basically comes down to trusting your DBA, or getting a new DBA.

 Anyone who can help,
 
 I've been asked if Oracle can somehow audit the DBA ie. Raise 
 an alert if
 the DBA were to execute DML statements against sensitive tables, this
 assumes the DBA has the SYS password.  I thought this was a pretty
 reasonable question but couldn't think of an answer.  My 
 trail of though was
 maybe an email alert to a designated member of staff sent via 
 a trigger on
 the table.
 
 Any comments would be very appreciated.

 Dick,
 
 Actually, many states are work at will -- which means the 
 company can fire 
 you because. No reason, just because.
 
 The idea of sending the DBA off on a training course -- NYS 
 has a similar 
 concept in the state banking laws. Anyone working for a 
 state-chartered bank 
 who has more than 2 weeks of vacation is required to take two weeks 
 consecutively, those with 2 weeks or less have to take a

 is, if you are cooking the books it should come to light in 
 that time

  Do you upgrade to major versions (7 to 8.0 to 8.1) for increased

 it's known as the sadmind virus. It exploits a weakness in Solaris

 out any NT

 and then exploits
 an NT security loophole to replace the default webpage on the

RE: Code Red

2001-08-08 Thread Anderson, Brian

 The trouble with code red was that it went through port 80, 
 which is left
 open by firewalls because that is the port used for HTTP pages (WWW).
 Closing that would mean no one could access Web pages.  So 
 firewalls won't
 help you re. things like that.  You can now go through any 
 ports that are
 left open, and there is software out there to detect ports 
 that were left
 open.  

Start up apache on port 80 and you can see the hits from code red in the
log files.

I'm waiting for them to get really advanced code red 6, The IIS hunter
killer, which scans for ports  running IIS, and hits it at other ports.

 Our webserver got hit a couple of weeks ago.  It got cleaned 
 up and the
 security patch(es) applied.  I thought nothing more about it.
 
 However, I think it or a variant got three of our other Win2k 
 servers that
 don't run IIS at all.  Yesterday I found a strange process, 
 VMGR32.exe,
 chewing up 50% CPU on our production db server.  The file, in
 C:\WinNT\System32, was dated 07/30/2001 08:40pm.  Another 
 file, acer4.exe,
 of exactly the same size, 272KB, had exactly the same 
 datetime.  Neither
 file shows the usual Version tab in the Properties window 
 (after right
 click on the file).  I searched the Microsoft site and did a 
 Google search
 on both, with zero hits.  Suspicious...
 
 I checked out
  http://www.net-security.org/text/articles/coverage/code-red/
 but couldn't see any similarities until it suggested running 
 netstat -an to
 see if your server was connecting to dozens of random IP 
 addresses at port
 :80.  I did and ours was!
 
 I changed the service Remote Administration Service (which loads
 VMGR32.exe) to Manual and rebooted the servers.  The 
 connections to random
 IP addresses at port :80 have stopped and VMGR32.exe is no 
 longer running as
 a process.
 
 I also installed Win2k Service Pack 2.
 
 I hope I've squashed this worm!  Have I?  Are the port :80 
 connections and
 VMGR32.exe related or have I been chasing the wrong culprit?  The NT
 sysadmin at our colocation facility isn't a lot of help (one 
 reason we're
 looking to switch pretty soon!), so I'm kind of at a loss.
 
 Any suggestions?
 
 Thanks.

For those not in the US, it's from an old TV commercial.

I started playing on Commodore-64's in high school in 1982.
I've still got some of those Verbatim 5.25 disks in the closet at home.

 
 What is the language that uses a turtle for teaching children about
 computers? What language was it based on?

  How would you convert a 1-sided 5 ¼ diskette into a 2-sided one?
 
 Flip the floppy and cut a notch.  I actually used scissors.  
 I loved it when
 they came out with those precise clippers.

***I just used a plain hole punch

  What colour were the Verbatim 5 ¼ diskette pockets?
 
 Was it grey?  Was that 3Ms?  I remember paying 50 bucks for 
 10 floppies.  I
 thought it was a great deal!!
 

*** It was pink

  What IBM PS/2 model was listed as having a 2.88M diskette drive?
 
 Sorry, I went with all the generic PCs.

*** I don't remember what IBM had them, but my old generic 486 has one.

  Did the first macintosh computer come with a handle?

*** No, I don't believe it did.

  Extremely important entertainment bonus question:  What 
 cartridges came

 Asteroids, I think. 

I never got an Atari, but I would guess pong.

RE: UNIX SCRIPT ISSUE - URGENT

2001-07-25 Thread Anderson, Brian

for i in `ls`
do
YourScript.shl $i
done

Unless you are also processing your newfile.dat in the script you need
to make unique names for the output files.
Something like:
sed s/Report by Hosts/$IP| Report by Hosts/ $FN  new_${FN}.dat
so you will get an output file from each input file.

 Subject: UNIX SCRIPT ISSUE - URGENT 
 
 
 I need to extract the first 16 bytes of a filename (AIX 4.3) 
 which consists of
 an IP address (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn), and move that to first 16 
 positions in the
 file itself, plus adding a pipe (|) sign for a delimiter, and 
 save the IP
 address as a file name with a .dat extension, before loading 
 the contents into
 a table.
 
 My predecessor concocted the following:
 
 #!/usr/bin/ksh
  FN=$1
  IP=`echo $FN|cut -c1-16`
  sed s/Report by Hosts/$IP| Report by Hosts/ $FN  newfile.dat
  #-- End of file
 
 which is great for a single file at a time.
 
 Right now I have to perform this surgery on 19 986 files, 
 which is in one
 place.
 Using the script above would take me over 20 000 hours.
 
 Any way I can grab the files one at the time based on a ls 
 command, and invoke
 the script, and to end up when the last file has been processed.
 
 ALTERNATIVE:
 
 Each file contains the IP address which has to move into the 
 first position
 after a string on line 13 which you guessed it: is called 'IP 
 Address:'. Is
 their a way vi could be used to achieve the same result?
 
 Any input would be appreciated,

RE: some thing strange with user_tables vs real table

2001-07-19 Thread Anderson, Brian

Wow, I actually know the answer to this one.

It's a known result of tables from Access, they can end up lower case,
mixed case, whatever.

You have to use the quotes around the name, like you did in the second
select.  

You could get rid of this by:
create table new_tmp_april as select * from 'tmp_april';

So new_tmp_april would be a regular oracle named table.

Look in docs for CREATE DATABASE command, maxlogfiles and maxlogmembers are
defined at database creation and stored in the control files.  To change it
you must recreate control files.  

You probably don't want to oversize this by much, as the control files grow
to leave space for the log entries.

RE: problem with UTL_FILE.FILE OPEN

2001-03-14 Thread Anderson, Brian

I believe * is valid (though I can't find the page in a book right now),
though it could be dangerous, utl_file writes as oracle, make sure some
duhveloper doesn't overwrite/append to your datafiles.

Look at the UTL_FILE.FOPEN commands and verify the paths.

  lv_log_file:= UTL_FILE.FOPEN('/dir1/dir2/dir3','logfile.dat','A');

 I thought that a directory had to be specified by name in

 List hi!
 Oracle817 on AIX. (64 bit)
 We have defined in initora file UTL_FILE_DIR=* 
 When we start function UTL_FILE.FOPEN it raises exception 
 INVALID_PATH.
 Everything is set and available (permissions are 777).
 Do you have any idea what's wrong?
 
 TIA,

 Whis is right security for oracle datafile. 640 or 777 or others.
 
 I found today in my AIX that some oracle datafile is 777 or 
 some are 660.
 But when I chmod 644 for those 777 files. The user could not 
 do update and I
 had to change back. what is wrong
 
 How about sys file. Mine is 666 currently. I think should be 
 640. Any idea?

RE: this drove me crazy!!!

2001-02-12 Thread Anderson, Brian

select * from table where 1 = 1 /* and insert into table ... */;
seems to work fine as long as it is formatted with the proper characters
surrounding the statement.

Why do you want to put an insert into a select?  Is the desire to select the
records that are being inserted or what?
