RE: Question re. Oracle clustering on Red Hat Advanced Server

2004-01-28 Thread Jack van Zanen
Hi

All I know is that we used to completely different machines to set up a
windows test RAC.

The requirement seems to be that the OS must be the same.

When running on a clustered environment, do all the servers have to be
identical?

Oracle says that the beauty of using blade servers is you buy what you need
now, then add later.

What if later is two years later?  You might not be able to buy the same
machines, only more powerful ones.

Does that mess up Oracle RAC?  Can RHAS cluster different hardware together
successfully?

Dear Oracle-L subscriber,

Due to changing circumstances, the Oracle-L mailing list has found a new
home.

Fatcity.com has graciously hosted Oracle-L for several years, and I thank
Bruce Bergman for his hard work on our behalf, but the time has come to move
to a new host.

Oracle-L will be hosted by freelists.org, effective immediately.

In the past when this list has moved, I used a list of subscribers to 
automatically subscribe people to the new address, thinking I was providing
a service.  To avoid dealing with irate users that forgot they had
subscribed (where does their mail go?) and their attorneys (don't care to
hear from

them again ) this new list will be 100% opt in.

What this means is that you will need to subscribe to the new address if you
wish to remain on the Oracle-L mailing list.

This email is being sent to you once individually, and will also appear in
the regular Oracle-L traffic.

After a period of time (2 weeks or so) [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be shut
down.

At this time, I don't know for how long the Oracle-L archives at fatcity.com
will be available. 

Instruction for subscribing to the new list are at the end of the message.

I look forward to seeing you all at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Jared Still

RE: PERL?

2003-12-08 Thread Jack van Zanen
Hi 


I tend to use PHP (and present the results in a browser or via email) for
scripts that fall outside the scope of (PL/)SQL. 
I have never had a serious look at Perl, is there any website(s) that can
give a clear explanation of the pro's con's of both?

The reason I choose PHP was the ease of learning and availability of
resources/examples.

Perl is a full flege programming language, it can do almost anything such as
Java or C++ can do. SQL*Plus or Shell is very limited in terms of
functionalities.

Besides, Perl is portable language. Perl code runs on almost any platforms.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Anyone downloaded Oracle 9i for Solaris64 lately (Technet)

Hi All,




I'm trying to download Oracle 9i for Solaris64 and have done so from two locations both yesterday and the day before and keep getting 

cpio: Can't read input: end of file encountered prior to expected end of archive. error while cpio file number 1(disk1). File 2  3 work fine.

It is not finished because at the end I miss files (like runInstaller). So it looks like a corrupt file on technet.


Anybody been succesful doing the same lately??

RE: Multi-threaded server - will it help in this case

Tim,

This bit:

 accomodate this application.  Please be aware that you can mix 
 dedicated and MTS by setting up different TNS names on different ports 
 for each, so it is not an all-or-nothing

seems to imply that MTS and Dedicated will each require their own listener (
different ports).  Been awhile since I messed 
with MTS, but I don't recall that as being necessary.

Is that what you meant?

 MTS (or SS in 9i onwards) is an excellent choice to accomodate this 
 application.  Please be aware that you can mix dedicated and MTS by 
 setting up different TNS names on different ports for each, so it is 
 not an all-or-nothing situation.  Most connections to the database 
 outside of this CAE app will likely be better served with dedicated
 connections, so just dole out TNS names accordingly.
 
 Also, please be sure to estimate the size of your UGA by tracking 
 values (i.e. name like '%uga%') in V$SESSTAT at peak periods then 
 sizing the Large Pool to accomodate, before you enable MTS.  Unless 
 you're really constrained for memory, don't be shy about this;  double 
 the highest value you sum from V$SESSSTAT to be safe.  After enabling 
 MTS, monitor the value of free memory where POOL = 'large pool'
 in V$SGASTAT.  If you've oversized, you can start backing
 down on LARGE_POOL_SIZE gently, if you need the memory
 elsewhere...
 
 Hope this helps...
 
 -Tim
 
  Environment:  AIX 4.3
  Oracle 8.1.7
  
  The application is a CAE tool which stores metadata for
  a hierarchy of 3D engineering design models.
  When a user opens a model at a given level in the design, the 
  application retrieves data about that model and all of the models 
  below it in the design try.  This often involves as many as 100 or 
  more models. Unfortunately, the way the application is written, it
  opens a new connection to the database for each model. 
  Thus, in the process of retrieving
  metadata, it may open and close as many as 100 connections
  to the database. Obviously, this causes some performance
  problems, especially for  remote users.  The number of
  users when the system goes fully into production
  is going to be in the low 100's.
  
  The vendor is not interested in changing the way the software works.
  Will use of the mult-threaded server improve performance
  in this situation, for
  example, by eliminating the overhead of starting a
  dedicated server for each connection?
  
  Thanks,
  Peter Schauss

Select * from table where upper(name) like '%ZANEN%'


I could create a function based index on upper(name) but this does not take care of the % and like operator.


Oracle has this (I believe it's called) context stuff that you can index varchar fields etc. Is this the (only possible?) way to go??

9i RAC Scripts.// LONG

2003-10-01 Thread Jack van Zanen
Hi All,

I am trying to figure out what and why to monitor in a 9i RAC environment.
Could any of you guys please comment on the following:




V$FALSE_PING 

is an Oracle9i Real Application Clusters view. 
This view displays buffers that may be getting false pings. 
That is, buffers pinged more than 10 times that are protected by the same
lock as another buffer that pinged more than 10 times. 
Buffers identified as getting false pings can be remapped in
GC_FILES_TO_LOCKS to reduce lock collisions. 




Note: 
Setting this parameter to any value other than the default will disable
Cache Fusion processing in Oracle9i Real Application Clusters.  

!Does this mean we should not temper with this???





I guess the number OF ROWS returned BY this query should be AS close to zero
AS possible, Right?
From the rows returned I guess the forced_reads/writes should be as close to
zero as possible, Right ?

This is an Oracle9i Real Application Clusters view. 
The V$CACHE_TRANSFER view is identical to the V$CACHE view but only displays
blocks that have been pinged at least once. 
This view contains information from the block header of each block in the
SGA of the current instance as related to particular database objects.

I guess the number OF ROWS returned BY this query should be AS close to zero

From the rows returned I guess the forced_reads/writes should be as close to

There are many views based on global cache etc.. That are not really clear

I did find in the documentation that information could be collected from
v$sysstat about global cache/locks that can be used to calculate certain

RE: 9i RAC Scripts.// LONG

2003-10-01 Thread Jack van Zanen

I hope not,

This is from the Oracle documentation (quite a lot is about RAC so to get
the general idea is OK but details are difficult to grasp).
Since the note: said setting that parameter to anything else but the default
would disable cache fusion in Oracle 9i RAC clusters, My question was if we
should temper with this setting. My gut feeling tells me no.
Also if anybody has links to sites that have useful scripts to monitor the
RAC portion of the database, please let me know.

TIA

GC_FILES_TO_LOCKS? Sounds familiar from some other times. Why do you use
hashed (static) locks? I thought that releasable locks are default in 9i? Is
there a reason to revert to the Oracle 7 OPS behvior?

Hello Jack, 
The problem is that the NLS environment does not get reset when using
oraenv. 
It resets ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID, but ORA_NLS33 always has the values of
the first instance. 
I had a look at the oraenv script, and there is no NLS string in there... 
So when you  try to switch to the second instance and start it, you get th
error message that missing or wrong value for NLS variable.
Any idea? 
Thanks, 
Helmut

Connect sys/password@database as sysdba E-Business suite

2003-09-12 Thread Jack van Zanen
Title: Connect sys/[EMAIL PROTECTED] as sysdba  E-Business suite





Hi All,



I have seen some weird behaviour and must have been searching in the wrong places.


When logging in to a 9i RAC environment using the syntax sys/[EMAIL PROTECTED] as sysdba it works fine at the primary instance but reports invalid username/password at the secondary instance.

Is this normal behaviour?



When connecting to an e-business suite(11.5.9?) database I noticed that my sessions (ODBC  SQL*Plus) were executing the suites portal login procedure.In fact all connections did this. 

Also my ODBC connection timed out on tables owned by a none suite schema.


Is there a database logon trigger on e-business suite that forces every connection through the suites security mechanism or something?

(I have never worked with e-business so I know nothing about it, I just installed some monitor tools repository in this database and could not get to the data)


TIA




Jack

Hi!

Are you sure that you have correct password file in second instance?
Maybe you're using wrong password (or do not have pwdfile) buf on first
instance you just belong to os DBA group, thus you can log on using whatever
password you provide.

If you access your data using ODBC, which username do you use? Is it APPS?
Afaik there is no restricting logon trigger in apps, at least up to 11.5.7
there isn't. Try to execute the exact query manually under same user first,
to see whether the timeout problem comes from database or ODBC driver.

I would like to have a constraint so when I try to add and the same
companynumber that already exists(for instance 234) I am not allowed to do
this if the filed Type has the value 1. So if I add a companynumber which
already exists and the Type is 2, then I should be allowed to add this
companynumber.

Maybe this is simple but woul dreally appreciate some help onhow to write
this.

 I tried the follwoing.

 1. Identified the sid,serila# for the sql*loader session.
 2. used the follwoing,
exec sys.dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(19,11250,TRUE);

 but this is not generation any trace files. But if I trun my system to 
 sql_trace=TRUE, I'm able to collect the trace details. I don't want to 
 do this.

 I want to take the trace only for the sql*loader session. How do i do
that.

Title: Message



I set 
the value to 2147483648 and it still does the same thing.

Oracle 
database is open but when trying to connect through sqlnet I get 
ORA-27101.

I do 
shutdown immediate and startup and the problem is gone for a 
while.

I now 
stopped the archiver again and see if that gives me 
problems.

BTW: 
Is it normal 9i behaviour to write logswitches to trace


TIA

Hi,



I have above setup on my homebox. Every now and then I get Oracle error 27101, and have to restart the database. I can connect / as sysdba and select * from v$database though.

Has anybody seen this happen before and may be able to help me with this.??


The only thing that I can see is a trace file (I don't know if this is from the same time as when the database stopped serving requests) from the archiver. There is nothing in the alert log whatsoever.

Is it normal behaviour that logswitches are recorded to trace files??


I have stopped the archiver process to see if that makes the problem go away.

  Have you tried to 
  reconnect to the instance? Does the instance shuts down or your 
  connection?
  
  Try changing the 
  following parameters: 
  
  Oracle9i
  Installation 
  Guide
  Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for UNIX 
  Systems: AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP
  9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, 
  and Sun Solaris
  
  2-20 
  Installation 
Guide
  
  Perform the following steps to modify the kernel 
  parameters by using the /proc
  file system.
  1. 
  Log in 
  as the root user.
  2. 
  Change 
  to the /proc/sys/kernel 
  directory.
  3. 
  Review 
  the current semaphore parameter values in the sem 
  file by 
  using the
  cat or more utility. For example, using 
  the cat utility, enter the 
  following
  command:
  # cat sem
  The output lists, in order, the values for the SEMMSL, 
  SEMMNS, SEMOPM,
  and SEMMNI parameters. The following example shows how 
  the output
  appears:
  250 32000 32 
128
  In the preceding output example, 250 is the value of 
  the SEMMSL parameter,
  32000 is the value of the SEMMNS parameter, 32 is the 
  value of the SEMOPM
  parameter, and 128 is the value of the SEMMNI 
  parameter.
  4. 
  Modify 
  the parameter values by using the following command syntax:
  # echo SEMMSL_value 
  SEMMNS_value SEMOPM_value SEMMNI_value  
  sem
  Replace the parameter variables with the values for 
  your system in the order
  that they are entered in the preceding example. For 
  example:
  # echo 100 32000 100 100  
  sem
  5. 
  Review 
  the current shared memory parameters by using the cat or more
  utility. For example, using the cat utility, enter the following 
  command:
  # cat shared_memory_parameter
  In the preceding example, the variable 
  shared_memory_parameter is either the
  SHMMAX or SHMMNI parameter. The parameter name must be 
  entered in
  lowercase letters.
  6. 
  Modify 
  the shared memory parameter by using the echo 
  utility. 
  For example,
  to modify the SHMMAX parameter, enter the following 
  command:
  # echo 2147483648  
  shmmax
  7. 
  Modify 
  the shared memory parameter by using the echo 
  utility. 
  For example,
  to modify the SHMMNI parameter, enter the following 
  command:
  Setup Tasks to Perform as root 
  User
  # echo 4096  
  shmmni
  8. 
  Modify 
  the shared memory parameter by using the echo 
  utility. 
  For example,
  to modify the SHMALL parameter, enter the following 
  command:
  # echo 2097152  
  shmall
  9. 
  Write 
  a script to initialize these values during system startup, and include 
  the
  script in your system init 
  files.
  10. 
  Set 
  the File Handles by using ulimit -n 
  and 
  /proc/sys/fs/file-max.
  # echo 65536  
  /proc/sys/fs/file-max
  ulimit -n 65536
  11. 
  Set 
  the Sockets to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
  # echo 1024 65000  
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_change
  12. 
  Set 
  the Process limit by using ulimit -u. This will give you the 
  number of
  processes per user.
  ulimit -u 16384
  The parameters in the following table are the minimum 
  values required to run
  Oracle9i 
  with a single-database instance on Linux.
  
  See Also: 
  Your 
  system vendor's documentation for more
  information on script files and init files.

RES: ORA-27101 RH linux 9 Oracle 9.2.0.3
Have you tried to 
reconnect to the instance? Does the instance shuts down or your 
connection?

Try changing the 
following parameters: 

Oracle9i
Installation 
Guide
Release 2 
(9.2.0.1.0) for UNIX Systems: AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, 
HP
9000 Series HP-UX, 
Linux Intel, and Sun Solaris

2-20 
Installation 
Guide

Perform the following steps 
to modify the kernel parameters by using the /proc
file 
system.
1. 
Log 
in as the root user.
2. 
Change to the /proc/sys/kernel 
directory.
3. 
Review the current semaphore parameter values in the 
sem file by using 
the
cat 
or 
more utility. For example, using 
the cat utility, enter the 
following
command:
# cat 
sem
The output lists, in order, 
the values for the SEMMSL, SEMMNS, SEMOPM,
and SEMMNI parameters. The 
following example shows how the output
appears:
250 
32000 32 128
In the preceding output 
example, 250 is the value of the SEMMSL parameter,
32000 is the value of the 
SEMMNS parameter, 32 is the value of the SEMOPM
parameter, and 128 is the 
value of the SEMMNI parameter.
4. 
Modify the parameter values by using the following 
command syntax:
# echo 
SEMMSL_value 
SEMMNS_value SEMOPM_value SEMMNI_value  
sem
Replace the parameter 
variables with the values for your system in the order
that they are entered in the 
preceding example. For example:
# echo 
100 32000 100 100  sem
5. 
Review the current shared memory parameters by using 
the cat or more
utility. For example, using 
the cat utility, enter the following 
command:
# cat 
shared_memory_parameter
In the preceding example, 
the variable shared_memory_parameter is either the
SHMMAX or SHMMNI parameter. 
The parameter name must be entered in
lowercase 
letters.
6. 
Modify the shared memory parameter by using the 
echo utility. For 
example,
to modify the SHMMAX 
parameter, enter the following command:
# echo 
2147483648  shmmax
7. 
Modify the shared memory parameter by using the 
echo utility. For 
example,
to modify the SHMMNI 
parameter, enter the following command:
Setup Tasks to 
Perform as root User
# echo 
4096  shmmni
8. 
Modify the shared memory parameter by using the 
echo utility. For 
example,
to modify the SHMALL 
parameter, enter the following command:
# echo 2097152 
 shmall
9. 
Write a script to initialize these values during 
system startup, and include the
script in your system 
init files.
10. 
Set 
the File Handles by using ulimit -n 
and 
/proc/sys/fs/file-max.
# echo 
65536  /proc/sys/fs/file-max
ulimit 
-n 65536
11. 
Set 
the Sockets to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
# echo 
1024 65000  /proc/sys

 Subject: 8.1.7 instance on Solaris periodically goes sluggish, then 
 hangs...
 
 Hi,
 
 rather vague, this one, I'm afraid, but we're stumped for ideas.
 
 We have an Oracle 8.1.7 instance on a Sun Solaris setup, which we're 
 currently testing prior to going live. Every so often - 2 or 3 times a 
 week - the users phone to say the application has stopped responding. 
 They're waiting several minutes with no response. We find we can 
 usually fire up one or two tuning apps, such as TOAD or Quest's 
 Spotlight, but within a few minutes, these also stop responding. By 
 this time, even trying to fire up a SQL*Plus session from my PC just 
 hangs and hangs, without the login ever completing. We always end up 
 having to get the sysadmin to abort-shutdown Oracle and then restart 
 it. After which everything's fine - until the next time.
 
 I've checked the PROCESSES parameter, and this is set to 150 - way 
 above the maximum number of connections we've seen (around 40 or so). 
 Likewise SESSIONS and TRANSACTIONS parameters seem generously 
 adequate. The sysadmin says the server itself doesn't seem to be 
 having any problems. He can log in and run UNIX commands with no 
 apparent performance problems.
 
 Any ideas at all would be very welcome!

Please add the line in red to your listener.ora file. Extproc has been made
secure in Oracle 9i. The following line has to be added to execute your own
external procedures.

  I'm an Oracle

  Anyway, the only

  SQL-Plus. The application I have running on this particular 9i server is 
  TPOCS,
  Third Party Outpatient 
  Collection System -- a billing system for the DoD's Military Health System

  Oracle 9i is running 
  on a Windows 2000 server.
  
  Anyway, the TPOCS 
  client is a PowerBuilder client and connects via SQL-Net -- I'm still learning 
  about that
  mechanism. 
  Here's my problem. Occasionally, Oracle refuses to let any client 
  connect to it -- it does this about
  every 7 to 8 
  days. It use to do it every 2 days, but the Tier 3 TPOCS helpdesk 
  recommended we increase the 
  ram on the server from 
  512MB to 1GB. Then the problem started occurring every 7 to 8 
  days. To make the problem
  go away I reboot the 
  server -- it only takes 10 minutes, however, I feel this a very poor 
  work-around.
  
  Which logs could I 
  look in that would give you guys more information (like an error code) on why 
  Oracle refuses
  client connections and 
  then how would we make this problem go away. it is becoming a 
  PITA.

RE: Multiple addreses in tns

2003-07-10 Thread Jack van Zanen
I think this is used in Parallel server environments. I have seen something
similar (maybe not exactly) so it could well be valid. My understanding is
that it should be working it's way down the list or pick a random address
depending on  (not much experience with OPS/RAC)

Is having multiple addresses valid for a tns entry?

A client provided this to me and initailly looked invalid

alias =
  (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.5.141.22)(PORT = 1521))
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.5.141.22)(PORT = 1526))
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.5.41.34)(PORT = 1521))
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.5.41.34)(PORT = 1526))
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.5.41.36)(PORT = 1521))
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.5.41.36)(PORT = 1526))
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = name)(SERVER = DEDICATED))
  )


From initial testing, if the first server is not avaliable the entire
connect fails. Personally Ive never seen this and from checking my
reference, this does NOT seem to be valid

Any input would be most welcome

Thanks!

Unless you've run into errors requiring adjustment of these parameters,
don't bother with them.

I've run 4 databases on a 2Gig RAM RH 7.1 box without ever touching these.

Modifying them requires rebuilding the kernel, which can be quite a 
hassle.

It also invalidates Oracle support on linux.

Oradim -delete -sid SID
Remove the entries that look like
ORA_SID_AUTOSTART
ORA_SID_SHUTDOWN
ORA_SID_SHUTDOWNTYPE
ORA_SID_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT
From Home0(if not done by oradim)

Put the initSID.ora file in the new home location

NEW_HOME\bin\oradim.exe -edit  -sid SID -startmode a 
NEW_HOME\bin\orapwd.exe file=d:\oracle\ora90\database\PWDSID.ora
password=password (Or can I just copy the password file?)

Change the listener.ora

Start the database

Run catalog/catproc/catexp etc

Is this Correct???

Assuming that you are changing the second Oracle Home, ie.  Home1.

Change the following entries in the registry:

HKLM\Software\Oracle\ALL_HOMES\ID1\PATH

HKLM\Software\Oracle\HOME1\ORACLE_HOME

Depending on how you've located init and dump files, etc., you may see other
entries in HKLM\Software\Oracle\HOME1 that 
need to be changed as well.

You then need to remove and re-create the service.

oradim -delete -sid SID

oradim -new -sid SID  -pfile path to init.ora

type oradmin on a command line to get all options.

Then check HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\OracleServiceSID
to ensure that the correct binary is in use.

Edit your tnsnames.ora/names registry or whatever you use for name 
resolution.

That should about do it.

Hi,

I'm currently looking into the

My idea is to create a new table with the 
partitions I need, insert the data from the old table, drop the old table and 
rename the new table to the old name.

This will invalidate a lot of stuff, which I

dependencies already.?

Anybody have a different/better idea,

Jack, Munish
First, verify that you have licensed partitioning. Additional cost item.
Second, learn about EXCHANGE PARTITION. This is a highly useful command that
can be used for a multitude of uses. Create a partitioned table and then
exchange your table into it. Extremely fast since it just involves
dictionary manipulations. It can be used for other purposes like renaming
columns, changing the owner of a table, etc.

RE: Oracle 7.3.4 on Win2000

2003-06-24 Thread Jack van Zanen
Title: Message



My 
understanding is that it will install and work but Oracle 7 wants to be the 
first Oracle Home installed on the machine if my memory does not let me 
down.
I once 
installed 7.3.4 on my laptop after I had installed 8  8i. This required 
some registry hacking to get it to work properly.

RE: Oracle on Linux

Hi,


I just installed RH9 and Oracle 9i R2 on my home PC and it installs fine if
you follow the instructions in the following URL
http://codah.net/install-oracle9iR2-on-redhat9.html

(was my first venture into RH also)

I choose the server version.


Mind you Oracle is only certified on RH AS/ES 2.1

OK,  I am about to venture into the world of Red Hat Linuxand then
install Oracle on it.

I have a question re the Linux install options. Do I need to do a Server
installation (as opposed to a Personal Desktop installation or a
Workstation installation), to be able to later install Oracle 9?

Partitions of table read only

2003-06-18 Thread Jack van Zanen
Title: Partitions of table read only





Hi,


I would like to know if it is possible and what the pitfalls are if I do the following.


Partition a large table into partitions based on date.
Data is only entered and read and never altered, so I would like to move older partitions to read only tablespaces and possible read only devices so the backup will be made quicker.

Is it possible to have parttions of the same table spread across read only and read/write tablespaces?
Am I correct in assuming that once you backup a read only tablespace there is no need to backup the same again. (provided you don't make it read/write add data and make it read only again).?

Does anybody have a procedure already that automatically creates the new partitions let say every month?



TIA

Upgrade 8.1.7.0 to 8.1.7.4.x Tru64 Parallel Server

2003-04-01 Thread Jack van Zanen
Hi All,

I have my first upgrade of parallel server coming up and am wondering what
the major differences are between a normal upgrade and this one.

Am I correct in assuming that the installer will detect both nodes and
install the upgrade on both nodes?
Is it correct that I only need to run the datadictionary upgrade script once
on one of the instances?

I'm now off to find more info on this on Metlink as well, but if someone has
done this already and could share the steps involved I'd be thankful.

 An instance lock that protects a buffer is being downgraded or upgrade,
 while that is in process the buffer can't be accessed so sessions have to
 wait on this event.

2003-03-12 Thread Jack van Zanen
 anything in the trace data that would lead you to suggest
anything (init.ora parameter changes for example)?  I've tried everything I
can think of and am at wits end but still have a screaming client who's
highly upset with the excessive response times.

And one last thing which is kinda relatedwe changed the
optimizer_index_cost_adj and optimizer_index_caching parameters from their
defaults to 50 (both of them) and saw in our testing that it did make
significant improvements in some cases (the trace profile I've shown you
doesn't really have examples of this).  But...since the client didn't want
to bounce the database, we attempted to make these changes temporarily in a
logon trigger by using execute immediate to do alter session commands to set
the parameters per session logon.  It seemed to work wonderfully but one
application (one out of four) started hanging on startup right after we put
in the trigger.  When the trigger was dropped, the application was OK again.
What the heck is up with that?  I've never seen anything like that and can't
for the life of me figure out what the app could be doing that a logon
trigger would cause to freak out.  Any ideas on that one?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance,
Karen

RE: Running multiple instances on a [large] server

2003-03-11 Thread Jack van Zanen
I have run/am running multiple oracle databases on a single server on
AIX/Linux/W2K/NT although not with sga's in the GB area.Just make sure you
get away with your I/O requirements

We only had seperate homes for seperate oracle versions, so all 817
databases were in one home and 8.0.5 databases were grouped in one home
etc.etc.

I did not have to deal with licensing so can't give you a comment there.
 

-Original Message-
Sent: dinsdag 11 maart 2003 9:49
To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L



One of the teams here is planning to run anything
from 8 to 16 database instances [no indication on
sizing yet, but gut-feel SGAs are 200MB to 1GB
and DB sizes 500MB to 40GB] on a large server,
something like a Sun E6800 or an equivalent
HP or Fujitsu server.

1.  How many of you do run, and are comfortable running,
multiple databases on the same server, whether it is
partitioned or not ?
2.  Do you create a seperate ORACLE_HOME for
each instance ?
3.  Do you just buy the Oracle DB CPU license on the
total number of CPUs on the server ?

My positioning is 
a.  We might not be able to create 8 partitions but
partition such that we have  a max of 2 or 3 instances
in one partition.  Hopefully, I can dynamically change
CPU partitioning to reallocate CPU to another group
of instances.

b.  Each instance should have it's own ORACLE_HOME.
[Disk space is not a constraint].

c.  Just add up the number of CPUs on the server,
across all partitions, and buy a CPU license.  Also,
a CPU license is much preferable to Named-User as some
of these databases would host Portals for 1,000+ end-users.

Oracle 9i RAC on Windows using firewire

2003-03-05 Thread Jack van Zanen
Hi


We are not a Unix shop and would like to build a test setup of 9iRAC on
windows at the cheapest price.

I have a document that explains how to do it using SCSI disks but the parts
here are very expensive. I have heard that it is also possible to use
firewire disks to achieve the same. Does anybody have a document detailing
this setup? Technet mentions this only for LINUX and not for Windowz

  then all databases on the server must be upgraded at the same time?

  - Install Oracle 9.2 64 bit  Patch for AIX 4.3.3
  - Change env scripts to point to Oracle 9.2
  - Migrate/upgrade all databases from 8.1.7 to 9.2
  - Upgrade AIX to 5.2
  - Install Oracle 9.2 64 bit binaries
  
  Then there is the alternate plan:
  - Free up a server
  - Upgrade AIX 4.3.3 to 5.2 64 bit on this new server
  - Install Oracle 9.2 64 bit
  - Export 8.1.7 database and import to new 9.2 database

  databases on server

  9i is what we will pursue. Testing the Vendor App on 9i/AIX 4.3.3 
  should not take considerable amount of time, as *none* of the new features of 
  9i would be used by the Vendor. Sad but true. There will be more testing time 
  allocated to 9i/AIX 5L update, as several other software pieces would be 
  tested for the first time with that combination. We will need to install 9i 
  for AIX 5L after the OS upgrade. We may choose to install it in the same 
  ORACLE_HOME as before. These are just my initial thoughts, no concrete plans,

  In a subsequent phase we would upgrade 8.1.7 32-bit to 9.264-bit. 
  The downside to this is that it will affect all databases on

  then install 9.2 for 5L(there is also a 9.2 for 4.3.3) and then migrate 
  the databases from 9.2/4.3.3to 9.2/5L. Do you know what effort is

When i issue the command:
 rman target='backup_admin/backup as [EMAIL PROTECTED]' nocatalog
log=test.log
rman: can't open target=backup_manager/backup as [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So i tested the connect string i had used as shown below:

Enter user-name: opcenter : foobar: /home/oracle: $ sqlplus /nolog
 
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Feb 26 13:04:56 2003
 
Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.
 
SQL connect backup_admin/backup as sysdba
Connected.

So I thought id start simple:
rman nocatalog
rman: can't open nocatalog
rman
this just hangs

So what have i missed?

Thanks

hi list

one session in our database is in ACTIVE state since long. it is 
doing no activity at all. it has locked one table also. because of 
this other sessions are also in ACTIVE state. so it is required 
for us to kill the session.

i got the corresponding spid for that session from v$process.

i checked the following::

$ps -ef | grep spid

oracle 21556 1  0   Feb 20 ?0:09 ora_snp3_TRADEDB1

isn't this the OS process/thread for the oracle background 
process?

i want to kill the process at OS level if it is not working at DB 
level

alertlog naming

2003-02-25 Thread Jack van Zanen

Hi,


On one of our customers site (WINDOWS) we have databases that have alertlogs
with the name sidALRT.LOGsidALRT.LOG (double the normal name) and oracle
keeps on writing to it.
I thought if a file is renamed oracle will create a new alertlog when
needed.  I have a php script that reads the alrtlogs and reports the errors
in web browser and than renames the current alertlog to
sidALRT.LOG.mmdd
Can it be that when there is writing action in the file oracle will get
confused and screw up the renaming bit? (I thought windows did not allow
changing filenames of open files)

One of the databases on this customers site every now and than hangs with no
messages in the alert logs and does not allow any connections anymore(No
errors reported back to client). This database needs to be up and running
asap so when it happens we don't get much time to investigate and restart
the service. We can still connect with svrmgrl and internal (wasn't this
supposed to go in 8.1.7). What would be the best course of action to quickly
gather the releavnt data next time this happens.
Has anybody seen this before and knows the solution?

  A customer of mine has recently decided to 
  purchase BRIO but the process of checking references on the producthas 
  been(ahem!)pretty discouraging. Specifically, they have gathered 
  the following comments:
  
   1. There are no 
  aggregate functions available on the BRIO client. For example, if we 
  pull some product pricing from Oracle and some from SQL Server, we will not be 
  able to calculate an average price on the client (local PC) where we build the 
  report. 2. Only one data source can be connected 
  at a time. This forces a user to save result sets from different cubes 
  locally first and then compare them also locally. 
  3. On Demand server(web-based middle-tier)is 
  single-threaded; only one client at a time is working. My guess is 
  that this is changed in v8, but it would be nice to get a 
  confirmation.
  
  Has anyone had experience with this? 
  What are your experiences?
  
  Also, what other DSS tools are you using 
  and how do you like them?
  
  Thanks in advance...

Oracle7 based delphi apps using BDE working with new 9i Clients

2003-01-15 Thread Jack van Zanen
Hi,


Has anybody yet upgraded  from Oracle 7.2 clients to 9.2 clients and get
their delphi/BDE apps to work.

If so could you please tell me more or less how, so I can pretend to be
smart with the application people :-)


Does a 7.2 client communicate with 9.2 database anyway?? According to Oracle
it is not supported and my test here from 7.1 to 9.2 results in ORA-3113
end of file on communication channel 

Connecting from 9.2 to 7.1 leaves me with windows error message.

Oracle 9iR2 on Red Hat 8.0/Kernel settings

2002-12-05 Thread Jack van Zanen
Hi,


I'm to install Oracle9i R2 on RH linux soon as well.
I have read the install guide about the kernel settings but they seem to
only mention the correct settings for a single instance on LINUX. I have not
had the privilege before to work on systems I had to set the kernel
parameters (not needed on AIX) so I could use a little help on this.

RH linux 8.0
Oracle 9i R2
2 instances on one machine (about 25 concurrent users per db)
buffer cache approx. 300MB (based on the old databases that is migrating
plus some extra for upgrade)
Shared pool 25-35Mb (based on the old databases that is migrating plus some
extra for upgrade)

What would my kernel settings be looking like, or could anybody point me to
ocumentation that explains this???


TIA

installed O92010 on rh 8.0. went fine so far until I tried to connect via
oemapp console - whatever connectdescripter I chose it resulted in the
error connection string not properly terminated. same connect descriptors
in the CLI worked fine - made them available in the oemapp console and got
the error message.
didn't investigate any further into this - experienced it twice on two
different machines. changed back to rh7.2 and things were fine again.

don't forget to make the kernel settings for memory - otherwise the database
installation will fail - maybe you have to correct the entry in the
ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk
file for INSO_LINK and add $(LINKLDLIBS) at the end.
installing the patch to make 9.2.0.2.0 out of it may require some tweaking.
or if this is a new installation just drop the typical database and create a
new one after applying the patch to the other files.
be careful with oid - experienced you cannot install it after applying the
patch. 

in general the same hints and points as on SunOS apply on RH 7.2/7.3/8.0.

have a lot of fun

thats all I can contribute.

can we arrange tables in a heirarchy form, just like we have

divide workspace.

say for company_A i create folder A and in it we can place files
for that company. and similarly we can create a folder for
company_B. Hence we can separate workspaces for better organization
and management etc.

so how can we accomplish as above, when we work with database ?
is there a way we can arrange tables (of the database) in a
heirarchy similar to folders and files ?

say i have one installation of oracle on a particular computer. so
how does one create separate table spaces, say for two different

each other)

with RMAN to HP Omniback controlled tapes.
We had a failure, and it took almost 48 hours to restore/recover the DB (in
addition to backed DB files, I had to restore thousands of archived logs
from tapes and apply them to the DB).
We can not afford to have the DB down for 2 days.
Now, we decided to give up RMAN hot backup, actually to give up backup (in
it's classic meaning) at all.
I'll explain why: It's very important for us to get the DB up  running ASAP
after a crash. We want the DB operating much more than we care about
historical data that reside in our DB. Our goal is to enable the inserts
(which run every 5 minutes, as I have stated) ASAP.
So, we plan to do the following backup/recovery procedures:
1)   We want to generate a script that will build the basics of the DB -
create the DB and the instance, build tablespaces, users, grants, roles
etc...
2)   We want to create a daily export of small (but the most important)
configuration tables, which can be imported very quickly after the crash and
rebuild of DB.
At this point the DB is operational.
3)   We can now import the large data tables - partition by partition.
And I don't care if THIS step will take 2 weeks.
What do you say?
Any reviews of my steps and the idea in general?
And, do you have a script that can re-engineer a DB (as in my step 1)?
Thanks a lot in advance.

RE: What makes Oracle DB shutdown automatically?

Hi,


A good 
place to start is your alert log and see if there are any trace files from 
the time of crash.

I believe that one position is used for positive/negative value. So it

RE: Installing 8.1.7 on a machine with an existing 9.0.1 installa

2002-11-14 Thread Jack van Zanen
Hi,

I copied the entire CD to disk (so that I can always install additional
features as needed) and installed using the 9.0.1 installer w/o problems on
W2K

off the top of my head:

If you have a Pentium 4 there are issues to resolve with the java
environment and one of them was to
copy the entire cd to disk rename symcjit.dll to symcjit.old and start using
the installation from the install win32 directory. I renamed the files and
used the 9i installer instead and that worked also

installation


Hi everybody

I'm about to throw my laptop out of the window (I'm on Win2k). I have an
existing 9.0.1 installation (server and developer tools like designer and
jedevelop). That works. Now I need to install an additional 8.1.7. If I run
the installer from 8.1.7, it tells me that the component oracle.swd.jre
1.1.8.10.0 is missing while checking the dependencies (after you decide the
installation type, before the list of available products/options is
displayed). Checking the components in the stage directory, it shows that it
is really missing.
Next try was to install 8.1.7 using the 9.0.1 installer. Installation works,
but hangs at the end ... great. Next try was to take the oracle.swd.jre
1.1.8.10.0 component from 9.0.1 (where it exists) and copy it to the 8.1.7
stage and to create the property files. No success.
Any ideas, or do I have to remove everything, then install 8.1.7 first,
folowed by 9.0.1 and the developer tools. That would be very diappointing.

Regards,
Stefan
