ADMIN: Status of list server systems (and update about missing messages)

2004-01-19 Thread Bruce A. Bergman
Folks -- 
 
I have good news and bad news. ;-)  First the good news: 
 
Several people had mentioned that they've sent messages to some lists but have not 
seen the posts arrive back to them.  These messages DID appear in the archives though. 
 This started roughly 12-Jan-2004.  I had previously researched this issue but could 
find no reason for it happening, nor a solution.  Up until today, that is. 
 
The cuplrit was one of my load balancers for mailing list traffic.  It was handling 
traffic correctly on some of the machines, but squirreling away messages sent to one 
specific server.  I'd estimate about 1/8th of the messages sent to mailing lists since 
12-Jan-2004 were not redistributed properly.  I have since found and fixed the 
problem, so this shouldn't happen in the future.  I suspect I was only able to re-send 
a portion of the missing messages, so my apologies for anyone who posted a message 
that didn't make it to a list.  Also, my apologies to everyone who has to deal with 
the increased traffic of the old messages, plus current messages, plus the inevitable 
onslaught of re-posts that will occur in the next few days.  Please be patient with 
each other. 
 
So the good news was: problem found, problem fixed, some catch up done, shouldn't 
happen again. 
 
The bad news is that this morning (roughly 7am PST), a construction crew near Fat City 
cut through a section of telecom cable that was critical for our connection to the 
net.  They've been working feverishly on it all day, but Fat City was off the net most 
of the day.  Until about 3pm PST.  I believe things are about back to normal right 
now, but there's always a ramp-up time to truly get back to normal.  My apologies to 
anyone who was affected by our downtime. 
 
If you have any questions or concerns about anything, please let me know. 
 
Thanks, 
Bruce Bergman

Paula, did you try re-running catproc? Did your duhveloper follow the
installation instructions to the letter, or creatively, skipping the parts
he didn't like?

Hello list, I am using 9.2.0.1.0 enterprise edition on windows.
Earlier when I use to specify nls_lang=French_France.US7ASCII in 9i release
1
I would get the following messages in French

c: sqlplus
Entrez le nom utilisateur :



But now when I specify nls_lang=French_France.US7ASCII , sqlplus sticks to
english
c: sqlplus
Enter user-name:

Any ideas ?

I tried out the following but to no avail :
1.  I  specified ora_nls33 to point to
D:\OracleXP\Ora92\ocommon\nls\ADMIN\DATA  where D:\OracleXP\Ora92\ is my
%oracle_home%

2.  I set nls_lang=French_France.US7ASCII , log in as a user, checked
NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS.  It shows that NLS_LANGUAGE is
FRENCH and NLS_TERRITORY is FRANCE.  When I select from a column containing
dates , the months are in French.  sysdate also gives the month in french

3.  Same behaviour with nls_lang=French_France.WE8MSWIN1252  and
nls_lang=nls_lang=French_France.UTF8 (although this is an incorrect
specification since there are no utf8 windows clients )

4. Similarly when I specify nls_lang=ENGLISH_INDIA.WE8MSWIN1252 my queries
pick up the correct local currency symbol.  and nls_language and
nls_territory values in nls_session_parameters are correct.
 
5.  Alert log doesn't show any errors.

My database character set is AL32UTF8 , did not specify an nchar
characterset while creating the database.

Isn't the wall utility used to send a message to everyone in Unix/Linux?
i.e 

wall This Database will Self Destruct in 5 seconds 

(although the utility has been removed from some systems due to some
security problems a.k.a root exploit)

p.d : What's Outlook Express??? ;)

On unix, there is a utility called init. You should log in as root and

type the following:

init 0 please log off the oracle database 

and everybody will get the message.
/BOFH

Other then that, you could use an exotic utiity called Outlook Express
to schedule a database shutdown a week in advance and put the
maintenance 
times on your internal web page.  The chosen times should be offpeak so
that the normal business can continue. When you inform everybody and
schedule 
downtime in advance, then you simply shut the database down, say, on
Saturday, 18:00
hours. In other words, your problem is organizational, not technical. If
you need to shut the
database down immediately for whatever reason there is a gadget called
a telephone.
It works like this:  every company has a person called CIO (stands for
Career Is Over).
When you need to shut down a database that is critical for business
during the working hours
then you tell your boss to call the CIO, and if he's not around, you
tell your boss/director to page 
him (they usually cary beepers). He will then either inform his peers in
the business process or 
schedule a conference call to pass the good news to the business. You
are probably going to
be on that conference call so better be prepared to argue  why is
shutting down the database 
critical or you will be in a very bad predicament. After that, no
further information is necessary. 
You just do what needs to be done. 
In other words, shutting down an important database is not a DBA
decision but a decision made
by people who manage the normal business process.  Those people are
sometimes referred to 
as management. They are the ones who make decisions and define
schedule.

Re: how to send messages to other users

Well, init takes one numeric argument (level) and ignores everything else.
That means that the command init 0 Please log off the database has the
same effect as init 0. Trust me, users will get the message. Did you see
the BOFH/BOFH flags?

if the messages are sent over WAN, don't you think 1 minute is inadequate time? There 
is no built in utility in oracle to do what you need. You can however design something 
using a small java applet that uses dbms_alert and display the message.

RE: how to send messages to other users

2003-11-26 Thread Vergara, Michael (TEM)
If your users are part of your local network, you can use
the Windoze NET SEND command.  I have recently found that
to be useful.

UNIX/Linux utilities like 'wall' only send a message to
users who are telnet'ed or rlogin'ed to the system.

To send a message to a browser is not something I know
how to do.  However, if it can be done by pop-up windows
from folks like X-10, I'm sure it can be done for a 
useful purpose as well.  You need to talk to a web
programmer for that, though, not Oracle DBAs.

Cheers,
Mike

Re: how to send messages to other users

2003-11-25 Thread Mladen Gogala
BOFH
On unix, there is a utility called init. You should log in as root and 
type the following:

init 0 please log off the oracle database 

and everybody will get the message.
/BOFH

Other then that, you could use an exotic utiity called Outlook Express
to schedule a database shutdown a week in advance and put the maintenance 
times on your internal web page.  The chosen times should be offpeak so
that the normal business can continue. When you inform everybody and schedule 
downtime in advance, then you simply shut the database down, say, on Saturday, 18:00
hours. In other words, your problem is organizational, not technical. If you need to 
shut the
database down immediately for whatever reason there is a gadget called a telephone.
It works like this:  every company has a person called CIO (stands for Career Is 
Over).
When you need to shut down a database that is critical for business during the working 
hours
then you tell your boss to call the CIO, and if he's not around, you tell your 
boss/director to page 
him (they usually cary beepers). He will then either inform his peers in the business 
process or 
schedule a conference call to pass the good news to the business. You are probably 
going to
be on that conference call so better be prepared to argue  why is shutting down the 
database 
critical or you will be in a very bad predicament. After that, no further information 
is necessary. 
You just do what needs to be done. 
In other words, shutting down an important database is not a DBA decision but a 
decision made
by people who manage the normal business process.  Those people are sometimes referred 
to 
as management. They are the ones who make decisions and define schedule.

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.

dmesg... now, that, I know. 
It needs root privs to use. And unless it is run via some automated setup (cron, as 
you mentioned) to create a public accessible report, we are stuck with syslog.log. At 
least, on most systems, it is public readable...

It's just that it couldn't complete archiving immediately, so it will do 
it asap. That delay (which seems very small from the numbers you show) 
can be decreased by either making archiving faster (faster disks? 
network? whatever...) or by archiving less (yeah, right, that sounds 
easy to do!).

Check your backup script to see if it forces log switches (alter system archive log).  
If it does, you may be hitting bug 1377090.  See note 119547.1.  It is a message that 
you can ignore if it occurs during the alter system.. command.

RE: Wait Event queue messages

2002-10-04 Thread Deshpande, Kirti

This is related to the AQ mechanism and can be ignored. Oracle posts this
wait while waiting to dequeue a message from AQ queue. 

To remove it from the 'Top 5' list in statspack report, you can add a row to
perfstat.stats$idle_event table. And while at it, you may want to review
what other waits statspack considers as idle waits and doesn't report in the
Top 5 list.  But, you may want to know about some of those... 

Check Oracle8i Reference Guide for this and all other wait events and more..

We have a process running here and without going into the detail of it we
have a Pro C program  that is taking ages to run updates and selects (2
hours to do 1 records). The program was changed to PL/SQL and we
suddenly were seeing 5 million records processed in 1 hour.

Is PL/SQL  that much faster than Pro C. Can somone more in the know give me

   Chaps,
   
   We have some information that may be of interest. We had this 
   problem (discussed below) last week where a Pro-C program was 
   running very slowly but when Lee monitored the database 
   response time (SELECTs  UPDATEs) it was performing very 
   quickly. We converted the code to PL-SQL and ran it yesterday 
   and it flew along and processed 5 million records in 1 hour. 
   This morning we tried the Pro-C version of the program again 
   and after two hours it had processed less than 10K records. 
   So we executed the PL-SQL again this afternoon and it has 
   almost completed the 5 million rows in about 2 hours again.
   
   Any thoughts on the implications of this?
   
   Regards, Ian.

 Subject:RE: Roy's extract job
 
 Yesterday it was executing the same code but without the 
 UPDATE statement. I'd agree that the performance would be 
 affected by having to do the UPDATEs but from the figures you 
 observed it was executing the UPDATE statement over 1000 
 times per second. It is performing a commit every 10K records 
 although I don't know how long this is taking, but from what 
 I can see in Toad the rate of increase in the number of times 
 the UPDATE is executing indicates that the COMMIT is probably 
 not the problem.

Formatting of listserv messages

2002-02-02 Thread Jared Still


Naveen and others,

Does this email appear to be completely unformatted to anyone else?

Just wondering if it was formatted when sent, or if this happened along
the way, or is it just me?

I'm not likely to respond to something this difficult to read, and I'm just
wondering if there's a remedy to this.

I've noticed at times that I may send a carefully formatted post only to 
have it appear rather messy on the list.  This most often happens to 
email I send from work using Lotus Notes.

Here at home I use KDE Kmail, which is much easier to configure than Lotus.

Sorry for the intrusion, but this appeared to be an interesting topic, and 
it's rather tedious to format these so I can read them.  I can't be the only
one that recieves mail looking like this.

Thanks,

Jared

Naveen and others,

Does this email appear to be completely unformatted to anyone else?

Just wondering if it was formatted when sent, or if this happened along
the way, or is it just me?

I'm not likely to respond to something this difficult to read, and I'm just
wondering if there's a remedy to this.

I've noticed at times that I may send a carefully formatted post only to 
have it appear rather messy on the list.  This most often happens to 
email I send from work using Lotus Notes.

Here at home I use KDE Kmail, which is much easier to configure than Lotus.

Sorry for the intrusion, but this appeared to be an interesting topic, and 
it's rather tedious to format these so I can read them.  I can't be the only
one that recieves mail looking like this.

Thanks,

Jared

 Does this email appear to be completely unformatted to anyone else?

  INSERTED_BY   NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30) INSERT_DATE

the mail is quite strange - the text/html part of it does not contain valid
HTML but something like:

XMPHi all,/XMP
XMP...

...which is most probably problem of the sender configuration

the text/plain is hardly readable (that's what u've seen)

why no DBMS OUTPUT messages ?

Hi all:

   I have SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 9; at the
beginning, and when the script runs, I can see DBMS
output messages.

   However, there is only in one database when script
runs nothing will show up, no DBMS output messages and
no error message. 

Why? Where should I check for the problem?

Thanks for the help

Sure you can, but its kinda tricky... There are .msb files in ORACLE_HOME

changed it such that the number of characters in the message remained

I believe Oracle uses the binary version of the message file (*.msb) so
changing the text file won't be of any use. but then again I might be wrong.

Hi All,

THis message file is used only by OERR utility and kernel
has its own error messages built-ins.

SO the changes in the oraus.msg will not be actually

Re: How to change error messages?

2001-09-07 Thread Jan Pruner

The file oraus.msg is in ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg/

The message should be limited to a maximum of 76 characters.

That's all.

Happy typing.  :-]

 Sure you can, but its kinda tricky... There are .msb files in ORACLE_HOME
 for different Oracle utilities. I guess oraus.msb is one for ORA msgs. I
 had changed it such that the number of characters in the message remained
 same... It worked :)

 Does anyone know how to change the message that Oracle displays when an
 error
 occurs.  For example:

 SQL select * from fjfjfjfjf;
 select * from fjfjfjfjf
   *
 ERROR at line 1:
 ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

 I am sure that Oracle Corp. will really frown on this, but can I change
 table
 or view does not exist to something else?

RE: How to change error messages?

2001-09-07 Thread Deshpande, Kirti

The oerr script will use the oraus.msg file.
However, Oracle kernel will still use oraus.msb file that is a binay version
of the msg file. 
Oracle does not give you any tool to convert your customized msg to msb.  

But, that's where the fun begins ;)  ( I  have played with this thing in my
own TEST database. Yes, I said... TEST ) 
Here is how : 
SQL select * from mytable;
select * from mytable
  *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

SQL !oerr ora 942
00942, 0, Do you think this table or view exists? 
// *Cause: It could be a typo.
// *Action: Learn to type correctly.

 under $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg 
 there are many error messages files. 
 
 the ones your looking for here are 
 
 oraus.msg 
 oraus.msb 
 
 The extention msg files are ascii text that you 
 can edit if you like (I used to do this a lot on Oracle 6 and 7), 
 but unless they have changed things since then, these files 
 are used only by the oerr utility. 
 
 The msb files are binary files that are used by the executables 
 to look up error messages. 
 
 BTW,  the 'us' in the file name indicates us english. If you 
 are working with some other language, it will be oraXX.msg,

Hi All,

THis message file is used only by OERR utility and kernel
has its own error messages built-ins.

SO the changes in the oraus.msg will not be actually
used by the kernel.

Trying to remember here, but isn't there a file called oraus.mesg or
something similiar somewhere under your $oracle_home that contains all the
messages and events?  Edit the message you want.  Do not tell Oracle Corp.
you did this.  I have not done and definitely do not recommend doing it
unless its on a play system.  This has fun possibilities when I think
about certain duhvelopers...  Hmmm...

This brings back the good old memories of Apple C Compiler messages ... from
my archive files ...

start here
These are some of the error messages produced by Apple's MPW C compiler.
These are all real. (If you must know I was bored one afternoon and
decompiled the String resources for the compiler.) The compiler is 324k in
size so these are just an excerpt I hope. I'm not sure where I stand on the
copyright issue. -Tony Cunningham

* String literal too long (I let you have 512 characters, that's 3 more
than ANSI said I should)

* ...And the lord said, 'lo, there shall only be case or default labels
inside a switch statement'

* a typedef name was a complete surprise to me at this point in your
program

* 'Volatile' and 'Register' are not miscible

* You can't modify a constant, float upstream, win an argument with the
IRS, or satisfy this compiler

* This struct already has a perfectly good definition

* type in (cast) must be scalar; ANSI 3.3.4; page 39, lines 10-11 (I know
you don't care, I'm just trying to annoy you)

* Can't cast a void type to type void (because the ANSI spec. says so,
that's why)

* Huh ?

* can't go mucking with a 'void *'

* we already did this function

* This label is the target of a goto from outside of the block containing
this label AND this block has an automatic variable with an initializer AND
your window wasn't wide enough to read this whole error message

* Call me paranoid but finding '/*' inside this comment makes me
suspicious

* Too many errors on one line (make fewer)

*Symbol table full - fatal heap error; please go buy a RAM upgrade from
your local Apple dealer

end here

How to change error messages?

Does anyone know how to change the message that Oracle displays when an error
occurs.  For example:

SQL select * from fjfjfjfjf;

  *
ERROR at line 1:

I am sure that Oracle Corp. will really frown on this, but can I change table

Title: RE: How to change error messages?





 -Original Message-
 From: Terrian, Tom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
 
 Does anyone know how to change the message that Oracle 
 displays when an error
 occurs. For example:
 
 SQL select * from fjfjfjfjf;
 select * from fjfjfjfjf
 *
 ERROR at line 1:
 ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
 
 I am sure that Oracle Corp. will really frown on this, but 
 can I change table
 or view does not exist to something else?



If you're bored with seeing the same old error messages, have you tried spicing up your life by installing Oracle in a different language?

SQL select * from fjfjfjfjf;
select * from fjfjfjfjf
 *
ERREUR à la ligne 1 :
ORA-00942: Table ou vue inexistante



Otherwise, like someone else suggested, you can have a EXCEPTION clause in a PL/SQL block to catch the error and display a different message, but that won't change the default error message.

Re: immediate shutdown messages- when nothing being shutdown

2001-07-19 Thread Jeremiah Wilton

Another instance (a standby, maybe?) is registering with the same
SID/service name with your listener (via MTS or dedicated service
registration).

Do a lsnrctl services on your listener, and find out which
host/instance the unwanted registered instance is on, and eliminate
references to the production host's listener address from the init.ora
on that host.
