Re: Replication - Oracle 9i - problem
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...

Re: replication question
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.

Multimaster Replication Doubt...

Re: replication question
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 +Rahul - Original Message - From: James Ambursley To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 1:24 PM Subject: RE: replication question Is replication faster than a standby database.As I understand it, the standby database will be receive arch logs at preset intervals.

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.

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).

Re: What is the cost of replication?
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.

Re: Installing Multiple Oracle Clients
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.

RMAN doubts
1.

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.

Re: Couple of questions

OCP does not necessarily mean Good DBA Good DBA, without any exam oriented preparation would not pass OCP so easily.
