Oracle Jobs not restarting after upgrade
Solaris 5.8 Oracle 8.1.6 upgrade to 9.2 We are testing an upgrade of Oracle from 8.1.6 to 9.2. There are several oracle jobs scheduled on this DB. Before we started the upgrade, all the jobs were broken (execute dbms_job.broken(201, true). The upgrade to 8.1.7 was done and then the migrate/upgrade to 9.2.0 was done. The jobs were then unbroken execute dbms_job.broken(201, false). But the jobs are not running. A select shows that the jobs are no longer broken, but is also shows that the last date they ran was just before the upgrade, with the next_date showing as the time it would have been scheduled before the upgrade. (I.e, if it ran on the first and was a daily job, it's next_date would be the second). We have tried issuing a change for the next date, but all that does is show a new next_date, it does not make the jobs run. Is there a way to make these jobs start running again. I have looked in the manuals, but either I am missing something obvious, or am not looking in the right place. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. TIA.

RE: Standby errors
Actually, the command to force the switch is: alter system switch logfile; alter system archive log all; I did not set the script up, I just inherited it. THe thinking is, since a hot backup and log switch is going to be done anyway, why not ftp the archive logs after the switch, but as part of the same process. Unfortunately, we did not get the upgrade completed this weekend. The log files were the same size on the production database as on the standby (i.e. too small). We did another hot backup as soon as it was discovered, so that we would not be without a recoverable backup, but wanted to know what had caused the archive log process to create logs that it couldn't read. -Original Message- Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 3:05 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Why does the copying of archive logs to the standby have anything to do with a hot backup on the primary? They seem like unrelated events. The reason you are getting an incomplete log is that you are using 'alter system switch logfile'. This command returns before archival, so your copy can commence and finish before archival is complete. The correct command to use is 'alter system archive log current'. This command will not return until the current log is fully archived. Than your copy can proceed safely. -- Jeremiah Wilton http://www.speakeasy.net/~jwilton On Fri, 14 Mar 2003, Ball, Terry wrote: Oracle 8.1.6 on Solaris 5.8.

RE: BMC Patrol
We are currently using Patrol. We just upgraded to version 3.4 so that we could be 9i compatable. We experience less than 2% impact at the worst of times. Most of the time, it just hums along.

This is a good thing since we have hundreds of database across several states. Monitoring from a single location with one tool makes sense. However, the question has arisen about the actual load that Patrol will put on the databases. To read Patrol's data, there are words such as, 'negligible' or 'minimal' but they offer no solid metrics. In the not too distant past, BMC's Perform and Predict product literally consumed all of the memory on our database machines and ground them to a halt. It took several weeks before BMC was able to correctly diagnose the problem and come up with a fix. Rather than repeat this experience I would like to hear from others using Patrol. If anyone has any hands on experience with performance problems resulting from implementing the Patrol KMs for Oracle, SQL Server or Sybase, I would appreciate hearing about them.

Have you encountered any problems with it? The databases I inherited have this set false all over the place, hence my tuning efforts are really limited. However I don't want to change it without checking around first. And a tuning question: This environment (peoplesoft) is very very low on memory. When the app servers and databases are up there's less than 50MB of memory free. Adding hardware is not a choice here. The databases have 100MB set for the SGA. It really looks like not much thought went into some of the parm settings. What I've read about tuning says that you must have a goal in mind. Well, afaik nothing is broken, nothing is suffering - then again, no one really paid much attention to Oracle. It was up, fine, move on. Am I on the wrong path if my goal for tuning is to figure out if I can reduce the size of the SGA and redo logs without adversely affecting performance? Any comments are appreciated.

IMPORT sloooowwww
Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 8 I am testing and upgrade from 7.3.4 to 8.1.7. Because the test server is solaris 8, and I can't find the patches for 7 anymore, I am trying to upgrade via an export and import. Besides, the DB is small - less than 2G. The export was done with compress=n. There are 200+ tables to be imported. It is taking 3+ minutes per table for the import, even on tables that have 0 rows. (Though it does take longer than that for the few tables with over 50K rows). I have tried: 1) Simple import. 2) Import with indexes=n 3) Import with table and constraints (but not indexes) pre-created and indexes=n ignore=y 4) All of the above with the buffer set to 8M (This actually slows the import down, taking 5+ minutes per table). 5) Increasing the sort_area_size for the DB to twice as large as it was and trying the above. In looking at how long it takes, the table imports in a second or less, but it takes 3 minutes + to start the import of the next table. I'm not sure what it is doing for 3 minutes after the table imports. Does anyone have any ideas how I can speed this up? 10 hours to import a 2G. DB is extreme and unacceptable. TIA.

RMAN restores
Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 on Solaris 2.8 with NetBackup 3.4 We are trying to use the same RMAN scripts that worked for us in 8.0.5 and 8.1.6. We can do full - incrememtal 0 - backup and restore. We can also do an incremental 1 backup, but when we try to do the restore, it does not restore the archive logs. The lists does show the correct archive logs, so I'm reasonabley certain that the logs are getting backed up, but they do NOT restore. I am working with Oracle on this, but because it is just testing at this point, WWW is not in any hurry to get back to me. Does any one have any scripts they use for 8.1.7 that work for them? I'd like to do a comparison and see if there is something we are missing.

RE: RMAN restores
Here are the errors I am seeing.
RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: restore
RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: IRESTORE
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
RMAN-06102: no channel to restore a backup or copy of log thread 1 seq 27
scn 34
923
This lists all the logs EXCEPT the most recent. No logs are found in the
archive log directory and the database does not recover thru RMAN. I can
not recover the database manually, because the archive logs can not be
found. (The backup script removes the archive logs after they have been
(hopefully) backed up.

Terry,
When you say that Rman does not restore the archive log files, what exactly
are you expecting?
Maybe Rman does not need to restore any archive logs, depending on what
point-in-time you are restoring to. It could just restore the db files, and
use the current redo logs to catch them up?
Below is a point-in-time restore script that I have used - the syntax has
not changed much since 816.
run {
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms 'BLKSIZE=2097152';
set until time to_date('2001-06-22:13:25:00','-mm-dd:hh24:mi:ss');
restore (database);
recover database;
release channel t1;
sql 'alter database open resetlogs';
}
reset database;
Hope this helps.

RE: Oracle Exports and performance
Just one comment. Back on O7, some testing was done by one of the DBAs where I used to work. He determined that the consistency was within a schema, not the whole export. SO if you had cross references between schemas, you could experience problems on imports. I don't know if this functionality continued to 8, 8i or 9i. -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 11:44 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Ron: Comments inline HTH greetings Diego Cutrone - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 1:18 PM This has probably been discussed before but I would like to know if a full database export could affect either Oracle or server performance. Of course it can affect performance, but I think it depends on your hardware and the system activity in the moment of the export as well Also, does a consistent=y export only mean that each table is consistent or is the entire database consistent? It means that the tables exported are consistent to each other. (The data within a table exported is always consistent independientely of the consistent option used.)

RE: RE: ORA-03113
Try doing:
ps -ef|grep pmon|grep SID
It will look something like
oracle 20065 1 0 Nov 11 ?0:07 ora_pmon_BI
Issue the kill against the PPID that is returned, in this case 20065.
The kill command would look like:
kill -9 20065

If I'll apply this command it's will take all oracle processes down for
every instance in this box?
Thanks.

Why don't you want to want to take all the oracle processes down? I thought
that's what you wanted to accomplish with shutdown immediate?
Go ahead and issue Mladen's command and restart the database. It's the only
way you can bring it down if you can't connect with svrmgrl or sqlplus.

Hi All!
I tried shutdown immediate and get ORA-03113.
Now I can't connect to database. How I can take instance down? On this HP
box 10 different databases.
This command was posted some time back by Mladen:
ps -fu oracle|grep -v PPID|awk '{ print $2; }'|xargs kill -9
It's will take all oracle processes and listeners down
which I don't want to do. I'm on Oracle 8.1.6.
Thanks.
Greg.

RE: Altering Indexes
You can't do it en-mass. Why not write a script to do this. select 'alter index '||index_name||' rebuild new_tbsp;' from user_indexes; or somthing similar. Terry -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 8:25 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have this large DB (approx. 250 tables) that has the tables and indexes in the same tablespace (not my design). Is there a way I can move all of the indexes to a separate tablespace en-mass? I know I can move them one at a time with the alter index command, but that would be rather time consuming.
