Re: Replication - Oracle 9i - problem

2002-03-04 Thread Rahul Dandekar

I am not sure about this... just a guess
They may have included catrep.sql as a part of something
mandatory like catproc or catalog
So, one does not need to run that separatly...

Did you read the documentation? Do they say that if DB has to
be created manually then run catrep.sql separatly?

 During install of Oracle9i EE software, I have checked replication
option.

 Afterwards, when I run Database Configuration Assistant there is no
check
 box related to replication???

 When I run Oracle Installer after the install, it confirms that
 replication option is present.

 Platform is 9i on Win2000.

 Thanks in advance

Re: replication question

2002-03-04 Thread Rahul Dandekar



Depends on your need.
You can have read only snapshots, updatable 
snapshots
or multimaster...
Again if you think of multimaster... then you would 
need to make decision
based on your application requirements about sync 
or async

I donot have any expereince of snapshot 
replication.
But, if you are planning multimaster replication, 
then better
spend a couple of months studying it and testing on 
test boxes...

Make 100% sure that your applicationreally 
needs the replication
and there is no other simpler 
option...

Just 2 cents...

 Replication is not part of database configuration.
 After you build the database and create objects inside
 you use the replication manager to create the replication
 on the objects you want to replicate.

Multimaster Replication Doubt...

2002-03-04 Thread Rahul Dandekar

1.
It is my understanding that Oracle 7.x has continuous purge
of the propogated deftrans. There is no option of scheduling
periodic purge at specific time. Am I correct?

2.
How to schedule continuous purge of propogated deftrans in
Oracle 8i from command line?

prompt  SCHEDULE PURGE AT MASTER SITE 
BEGIN
DBMS_DEFER_SYS.SCHEDULE_PURGE (
NEXT_DATE = SYSDATE,
INTERVAL = 'SYSDATE + 1/24',
DELAY_SECONDS = 0,
ROLLBACK_SEGMENT = '');
END;
/

Manual says set DELAY_SECONDS to 500,000 and set INTERVAL to a value less
than
DELAY_SECONDS. I could not understand exactly how this works...

Re: replication question

2002-03-04 Thread Rahul Dandekar



Well, you could open standby DB only for 
read only access (8i) whereas in replication, both or
all (more than 2) databases could be up 
and open to users all the times.

Each DML causes substantial overhead as 
each transaction needs to be propogated and applied
at all the master sites (whereas 
inOracle Parallel Server,there is centralized database accessed 

by multiple instances, there is no need 
for this).

So, if you donot need two databases at two 
geographically separate locations, open for users,
then Standby DB or OPSmight be 
better option. Again, in OPS, if the hardware cluster fails then
you are in trouble...

About speed, if you could tune up sending 
of logs and application of it, then Standby database
would consume substantially lesser 
resources than replication, hence higher throughput...
The primary database in Standby DB just 
needs to send the archivelogs (simple file transfer)
and then log application happens on the 
secondary server...
Whereas, in replication, the database 
would have to propogate and apply each and every
transaction individually

The way I see it . the question comes down to whether or 
not you need two way replication or just one way. If both 
databases can update those tables and you need them synced between the 
databases then Advanced Replication would be the route. If all 
you need are data changes from 1 database to be replicated to another

  Rahul,
  
  Did you get a response on this? I'm not sure I fully 
  understand the actual question - are you looking for specific commands you 
  need to run to get the information, 
[Rahul] Yes. I would like to know which flags of the 
commonly used commands give good information.
For general System stats, I use "sar -u" (same as default), 
for Memory / Virtual Memory I use "vmstat"
and look for "r b w 
swap free pi po us 
sy id" columns.
I am looking for general monitoring. And once we have this 
general information giving a overall picture,
we could know if there is a problem and we could 
investigate further.
I am specifically looking for IO and Network 
statistics.
Is there any command which would give me approx IO of the 
system, say in last 5 minutes or
current?
How to get network statistics? I was littlebit confused 
with netstat. There are two main categories
in my output : hme0 and Total. What does that 
mean?
 input hme0 
output input 
(Total) outputpackets errs packets errs

2 0 
0 24

0 0

What I plan to do is to take snapshot of all these statistics at 
acertain frequency and put it
in database.Later on I could generate reports based on 
this.
Currently, I have a lot of "Camera"s like thistaking 
snapshots of my system.
Others involveOracle stuff like DB Size Growth, Performance 
Ratios,UNIX File System
usage, Replication Statistics, Growth of DB objects, a lot of monitors 
for application
info (e.g. total # of clients, # of invoices generated per 
day).
I generate trends based on this archival data for capacity planning and 
proactively
anticipating chronic problems.

  or advice on how to interpret it? Don't forget that you 
  will really need to correlate many of these 
  statistics to the Oracle pathology at the same time. 
  
You said it! I want co-relation of Application Load, 
UNIX System Load and Database 
Statistics.
And not just when the problem arises. So, 
that's what I am trying to develop.


  This then causes a problem because your sample points 
  will at the very least experience clock drift and become harder to compare 
  over time. There are ways to solve it, though. 
  Anyway, if you could elaborate a little, I can try to 
  assist!

Re: Oracle Advanced Replication

2002-02-18 Thread Rahul Dandekar
 are looking at Advanced Replication as a fail over
  option for a web site.  Straight forward installation,
  both boxes on the same subnet on their own dmz. The
  servers will be located on the same rack in the
  computer room. Very few tables storing data from an
  application that is tracking click through data.
 
  Does anyone see any flaws with the basic plan?  Any
  hidden 'features' that we may run into?

UNIX Performance Issues

2002-02-14 Thread Rahul Dandekar

DBAs,

This might be littlebit (or completely!) UNIX related... But I am told
to do the performance analysis of some 10-15 machines and generate
some statistical data to find out bottlenecks and identify areas of
tuning...

Operating System : Solaris 2.6

I have been using sar, iostat, top...
I actually plan to script these things and run these scripts at certain
intervals and put the data in database (Oracle 8i) and then do the
crunching...
Inputs are appreciated...

1. I/O
   What is current I/O status. Is there a lot of I/O going on?

2. Paging
   Is there lot of swapping / paging happening?
   Which processes are getting swapped in/out continuously?
   Are the I/O waits due to swapping / paging or regular stuff
   like DB waiting to read from DB files?

3. CPU
   What is the CPU utulization? Which processes are using lot of CPU?

4. Memory
   What is the current picture of Real and Virtual Memory?
   What processes are using how much memory? Which processes
   are in real memory and which are in virtual memory?
   Which processes are swapped in and out from/to real/virtual memory
   and how many times?

5. Network
   What is the percentage utilization of network pipe?
   What is the capacity (bandwidth) of the network device?
   What percentage of that bandwidth is getting used?
   Is the system waiting for data from outside network I/O?
   In short, is there any bandwidth problem with network device
   or network traffic.

Thanks,

Re: What is the cost of replication?

2001-05-16 Thread Rahul Dandekar

We have advanced multimaster replication.
I have spent about 70% of my time looing into replication related isues.

I came to site with no experience of replication, no documentation about
the environment and no transfer of knowledge since the previous dba already
left.

Now this may be because of the database environment we have
or because of the way the other things have been set up
or because of my relative experience of other things relative to
replication...

Replication is painful when things go wrong.
Also there are added performance issues.

But now over a period of time, I am used to it and can administer it much
better.

Beware if you are novice...

Re: Installing Multiple Oracle Clients

2001-05-14 Thread Rahul Dandekar

 1) What is the easiest way to do these local installations?  With the old
16-bit version of the Oracle
 client, you could do a network install, then have the workstations
reference that installation by changing
 ini files.  I don't think that the 32-bit version of the client supports
network installs.  Has anybody had
 success with response files?  What is the trick to getting them to work?
Anyway, I'm looking for an
 alternative to visiting each workstation.

I used response file for 8.1.6 on Solaris 2.6 with xterm from a windows
machine.
Works great!

1. Create home dir and get .profile etc and set environment
2. Remote mount CD
3. Install Client with .rsp
4. Scripted FTP : tnsnames.ora
5. Test connection

All through a sequence of commands. No mouse clicking. Now going to machine.
No taking out putting in CDs...

  The database 'may' be in NOARCHIVELOG mode
  1. Its a 300 GB database and RMAN picks up only the USED blocks to might
  save
 time and disk space for disk backup
  2. We back up directly to tape. So if done through RMAN, we need not
keep
 inventory of tapes as RMAN/Legato would maintain it internally
  3. I understand that with RMAN, even if database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode

RMAN doubts

2001-04-11 Thread Rahul Dandekar

1. The database is running in NOARCHEVELOG mode :
   Oracle manual says that 'you can skip tablespaces, but skipped tablespace
   that has not been offline or read-only since its last backup will be lost
   if the database has to be restored from a backup.'

   Can we skip backing up of TEMP tablespace?
   In case recovery is required then instead of recovering 10GB,
   we could create it by SQL statements.

2. Will following command backup all the archved redo logs to tape and
delete
   them from the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST?

   run {
   allocate channel ch1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
   backup
   archivelog all
   delete input;
}

Still more to come...

TIA,

-Rahul
P.S. I have passed OCP 8 Backup and Recovery exam with score of 58/60.
That's
 why probably I am having so many doubts. Was better ithout OCP ;-(

Case 1 is NOARCHIVELOG. We have advanced replication so donot put databases
in ARCHIVELOG.
Case 2 is for different databases which are 24 x 7. Its in ARCHIVELOG mode

If you are running in the NOARCHIVELOG mode, how do you have entries in the
ACRH_LOG_DEST? What will you gain by issuing the command to "archive all"
when you are not archiving?
Am I missing something in the backup schema of things?

Re: Couple of questions

2001-03-22 Thread Rahul Dandekar

 Also for those who have Oracle certification how much database experience 
 (Oracle in particular) did you have before you obtained certification?
 What do you recommend for experience before attempting certification?

OCP and Good Oracle DBA are not one of the same things. There might
be people who are both.
But...
OCP does not necessarily mean Good DBA
Good DBA, without any exam oriented preparation would not pass OCP
so easily.

I have heard that ILT notes and STS tests are simplest things to become
"Paper OCP" even if you donot have Oracle expertise!

I am persuing OCP, Just because after completing it I can commandingly
say that OCP is NOT a great achievement.

Replicating between Solaris / NT

2001-03-22 Thread Rahul Dandekar



Nandini,

Can we replicate between two databases on different 
OS?
Should not be a problem I guess. But still 
curious...
Has anyone tried?

816 Solaris 816 NT
