9i New Features Doc???

I am planning the rollout of Discoverer. Currently we have 9iAS 1.0.2.2 installed which correlates to Disco 4i. I am looking to see if there are compelling reasons upgrade to Disco 9i (v5), but can not find any documents that list the new features. I will need to justify based on Disco features not 9iAS R2.
Has anyone seen a doc like this, or have you made your own comparison and willing to share?
thx,
r.b.

Check out the following URL to the Oracle Forms 9i technical pages on OTN. I'm sure you'll find what you need here.

Doc of new features release 2

Hi,
I need a document of the new features collaboration suite release 2.

There is a document on technet in the ocs section, called ocs statement of direction - this gives a brief overview of the new features in rel 2 of ocs.

Follow-up to archived thread "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide"

I hoped to be able to add a reply to the most recent reply on March 8 in the "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide" thread (https://community.oracle.com/thread/3526588), but since that thread has been archived, I am doing what was suggested elsewhere: create a new thread referencing the old one. My reply is:
Thank you for your explanation about preferring PDF over HTML. That is perfectly fine and understandable. Also, we very much appreciate your documentation feedback in this forum, and encourage you to continue to report any issues here.
I apologize for not replying much sooner. I either didn't get or overlooked an original notification about "Recent activity" after your reply; otherwise, I would have replied then.

Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.
Also, while anyone is welcome to enter documentation comments in this forum, another option that may be more convenient for comments on specific sections is the Reader Comment area at the bottom of each HTML page (such as http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17906/chapter1.htm#NEWFT495 for the page containing Section 1.5.9.8). Any comments entered in a Reader Comment area go to someone in our documentation production group, who forwards them to the appropriate writers.
However, if a comment involves multiple HTML pages or books, or if you want the matter to be in a public forum for visibility and searchability, posting in this forum is a good option.

Oracle 10G New Feature........Part 1

Dear all,
from last couple of days i was very busy with my oracle 10g box,so i think this is right time to
share some intresting feature on 10g and some internal stuff with all of you.
Have a look :-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 10g Memory and Storage Feature.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.Automatic Memory Management.
2.Online Segment Shrink
3.Redolog Advisor, checkpointing
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
5.Automatic Workload Repository
6.Active Session History
7.Misc
a)Rename Tablespace
b)Bigfile tablespace
c)flushing buffer cache
8.ORACLE INTERNAL
a)undocumented parameter (_log_blocks_during_backup)
b)X$ view (x$messages view)
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
1.Automatic memory management
================================
This feature reduce the overhead of oracle DBA.previously mostly time we need to set diff oracle SGA parameter for
better performance with the help of own experience,advice views and by monitoring the behaviour
of oracle database.
this was just time consuming activity.........
Now this feature makes easy life for oracle DBA.
Just set SGA_TARGET parameter and it automatically allocate memory to different SGA parameter.
it focus on DB_CACHE_SIZE
SHARED_POOL_SIZE
LARGE_POOL
JAVA_POOL
and automatically set it as
__db_cache_size
__shared_pool_size
__large_pool_size
__java_pool_size
check it in alert_log
MMAN(memory manager) process is new in 10g and this is responsible for sga tuning task.
it automatically increase and decrease the SGA parameters value as per the requirement.
Benefit:- Maximum utlization of available SGA memory.
2.Online Segment Shrink.
==========================
hmmmmm again a new feature by oracle to reduce the downtime.Now oracle mainly focus on availablity
thats why its always try to reduce the downtime by intrducing new feature.
in previous version ,reducing High water mark of table was possible by
Exp/imp
or
alter table move....cmd. but on these method tables was not available for normal use for long hrs if it has more data.
but in 10g with just few command we can reduce the HWmark of table.
this feature is available for ASSM tablespaces.
1.alter table emp enable row movement.
2.alter table emp shrink space.
the second cmd have two phases
first phase is to compact the segment and in this phase DML operations are allowed.
second phase(shrink phase)oracle shrink the HWM of table, DML operation will be blocked at that time for short duration.
So if want to shrink the HWM of table then we should use it with two diff command
first compact the segment and then shrink it on non-peak hrs.
alter table emp shrink space compact. (This cmd doesn't block the DML operation.)
and alter table emp shrink space. (This cmd should be on non-peak hrs.)
Benefit:- better full table scan.
3.Redolog Advisor and checkpointing
================================================================
now oracle will suggest the size of redo log file by V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
SELECT OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE
FROM V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
this value is influence with the value of FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET .
Checkpointing
Automatic checkpointing will be enable after setting FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET to non-zero value.
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
==================================
Now we can manage multiple temp tablespace under one group.
we can create a tablespace group implicitly when we include the TABLESPACE GROUP clause in the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE or ALTER TABLESPACE statement and the specified tablespace group does not currently exist.
For example, if group1 is not exists,then the following statements create this groups with new tablespace
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp1 TEMPFILE '/u02/oracle/data/temp01.dbf'
SIZE 50M
TABLESPACE GROUP group1;
--Add Existing temp tablespace into group by
alter tablespace temp2 tablespace group group1.
--we can also assign the temp tablespace group on database level as default temp tablespace.
ALTER DATABASE <db name> DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE group1;
benefit:- Better I/O
One sql can use more then one temp tablespace
5.AWR(Automatic Workload Repository):-
================================== AWR is built in Repository and Central point of Oracle 10g.Oracle self managing activities
is fully dependent on AWR.by default after 1 hr, oracle capure all database uses information and store in AWR with the help of
MMON process.we called it Memory monitor process.and all these information are kept upto 7 days(default) and after that it automatically purge.
we can generate a AWR report by
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
Just like statspack report but its a advance and diff version of statspack,it provide more information of Database as well as OS.
it show report in Html and Text format.
we can also take manually snapshot for AWR by
BEGIN
DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.CREATE_SNAPSHOT ();
END;
**The STATISTICS_LEVEL initialization parameter must be set to the TYPICAL or ALL to enable the Automatic Workload Repository.

Benefit:- Now DBA have more free time to play games.....................:-)
Advance version of statspack
more DB and OS information with self managing capabilty
New Automatic alert and database advisor with the help of AWR.
6.Active Session History:-
==========================
V$active_session_history is view that contain the recent session history.
the memory for ASH is comes from SGA and it can't more then 5% of Shared pool.
So we can get latest and active session report from v$active_session_history view and also get histortical data of
of session from DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY.
v$active_session_history include some imp column like:-
~SQL identifier of SQL statement
~Object number, file number, and block number
~Wait event identifier and parameters
~Session identifier and session serial number
~Module and action name
~Client identifier of the session
7.Misc:-
========
Rename Tablespace:-
=================
in 10g,we can even rename a tablespace by
alter tablespace <tb_name> rename to <tb_name_new>;
This command will update the controlfile,data dictionary and datafile header,but dbf filename will be same.
**we can't rename system and sysaux tablespace.
Bigfile tablespace:-
====================
Bigfile tablespace contain only one datafile.
A bigfile tablespace with 8K blocks can contain a 32 terabyte datafile.
Bigfile tablespaces are supported only for locally managed tablespaces with automatic segment-space management.
we can take the advantage of bigfile tablespace when we are using ASM or other logical volume with RAID.
without ASM or RAID ,it gives poor response.
syntax:-
CREATE BIGFILE TABLESPACE bigtbs
Flushing Buffer Cache:-
======================
This option is same as flushing the shared pool,but only available with 10g.
but i don't know, whats the use of this command in prod database......
anyway we can check and try it on test server for tuning n testing some query etc....
SQL> alter system flush buffer_cache;
System altered.
++++++++++++++++++
8.Oracle Internal
++++++++++++++++++
Here is some stuff that is not related with 10g but have some intresting things.
a)undocumented parameter "_log_blocks_during_backup"
++++++++++++++++++++++++
as we know that oracle has generate more redo logs during hotbackup mode because
oracle has to maintain the a complete copy of block into redolog due to split block.
we can also change this behaviour by setting this parameter to False.
If Oracle block size equals the operating system block size.thus reducing the amount of redo generated
during a hot backup.
WITHOUT ORACLE SUPPORT DON'T SET IT ON PROD DATABASE.THIS DOCUMENT IS JUST FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE.
b)some X$ views (X$messages)
++++++++++++++++
if you are intresting in oracle internal architecture then x$ view is right place for getting some intresting things.
X$messages :-it show all the actions that a background process do.
select * from x$messages;
like:-
lock memory at startup MMAN
Memory Management MMAN
Handle sga_target resize MMAN
Reset advisory pool when advisory turned ON MMAN
Complete deferred initialization of components MMAN
lock memory timeout action MMAN
tune undo retention MMNL
MMNL Periodic MQL Selector MMNL
ASH Sampler (KEWA) MMNL
MMON SWRF Raw Metrics Capture MMNL
reload failed KSPD callbacks MMON
SGA memory tuning MMON
background recovery area alert action MMON
Flashback Marker MMON
tablespace alert monitor MMON
Open/close flashback thread RVWR
RVWR IO's RVWR
kfcl instance recovery SMON
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The contents of the current controlfile can be dumped in text form.
Dump Level Dump Contains
1 only the file header
2 just the file header, the database info record, and checkpoint progress records
3 all record types, but just the earliest and latest records for circular reuse record types
4 as above, but includes the 4 most recent records for circular reuse record types
5+ as above, but the number of circular reuse records included doubles with each level
the session must be connected AS SYSDBA
alter session set events 'immediate trace name controlf level 5';
This dump show lots of intresting information.
it also show rman recordes if we used this controlfile in rman backup.

Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide

Under section 1.5.9.8 Storage Snapshot Optimization:
The first bullet point is: "Database crash is consistent at the point of the snapshot."
I think that is supposed to be: "Database is crash-consistent at the point of the snapshot."
At the very least, that seems to make more sense to me. Googling around, there was a document on these features by EMC with that wording.

Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.

New feature aso plan type under planning V11.1.2.3

HI all,
I notice than there new feature under planning.
the ability to create ASO plan type under planning.
but in documentation i don't understand if this part is not available under planning licence .
is this new feature involde to purchase new licence on essbase and in this case we have application user wich licence is needed (cpu) ?
can some one help?
on URL Introduction - Oracle EPM System 11.1.2.3 Documentation Library
extract of
Oracle Hyperion Planning New Features
HTML
Aggregate Storage Option Support
Administrators can now add an aggregate storage option (ASO) database to a Planning application using Planning application administration.
Administrators can create an ASO plan type during application creation, or they can add a new plan type using the new plan type editor. See Plan Type Editor. Write back to ASO cubes within Planning is supported.
Note:
To use ASO databases in Planning, you must have the required license.
on doc I
Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Licensing Guide
PDF
Essbase Plus cannot be used to create Essbase cubes that do not
contain data used by the Hyperion Planning Plus application.
l The Aggregate Storage Option component of Essbase Plus may not
be used.

You also need the Essbase license to be able to use that functinality, probably best discussing with your Oracle account manager for the full details.
Cheers

==============================================
     AUTHID와 SQL_NAME_RESOLVE에 대해 CURRENT_USER, DEFINER를 지정
     8.1 현재 버젼에서는 AUTHID = CURRENT_USER 일때는 SQL_NAME_RESOLVE =
CURRENT_USER, AUTHID = DEFINERE 일때는 SQL_NAME_RESOLVE = DEFINER만
가능
     - AUTHID , SQL_NAME_RESOLVE = DEFINER
          scott 이라는 user에 다음과 같은 stored procedure를 정의했을때
          foo 라는 user에서는 scott.emp 나 scott.empcount 에 대한
          select priviledge, insert priveledge가 없어도 name_count에
          대한 execute priveledge를 가지고 있으면 실행 가능하다.
          그 이유는 name_count를 invoke 시킨 user가 foo라고 할 지라도
          내부적으로는 scott의 priveledge를 가지고 name_count라는
          procedure가 실행 되기 때문이다.
          create or replace procedure name_count

          scott이라는 user에서 다음과 같은 stored procedure를 정의했을
때 foo 라는 user에서 name_count에 대한 execute priveledge를
          가지고 있다고 할 지라도 scott.emp 에 대한 select priveledge를
          가지고 있지 못하면 name_count를 실행 할 수 없다. 또한
          empcount table은 scott.empcount가 아니라, foo.empcount 테이블
을 뜻하는데, 그 이유는 authid 와 sql_name_resolve가
current_user로 지정이 되어 있기 때문이다.
          foo 라는 user에 scott.emp 테이블에 대한 select priviledge를
          grant 해 주고, empcount 테이블을 만든후 실행 시키면
          scott.emp의 row 갯수를 foo.empcount 테이블에 insert 시키게
          된다.
          create or replace procedure name_count

Seems that you are right ... iSQLPlus is not referenced in the Oracle8i documentation and was probably not available until Oracle9i
However, it is certainly possible to install only the iSQLPlus capability of 9i (and probably10g) and configure the tnsnames.ora for the iSQLPlus installation to communicate with an 8i database.
This is partially discussed here http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a90842/ch3.htm#1005835
Works ... as long as the use is willing to accept the lesser capability of Oracle8i ...

Oracle 10g new feature to backup to tape?

I heard rumours that Oracle 10g has new features to backup to tape directly. I don't know exactly how this is done, and I'd like the experts to comment. What I've discovered so far is that there is this program called Legato Single Server Version (LSSV) which ships with the Oracle 10g Companion CD which makes RMAN use the tape directly as a medium to backup. Is this CD available for download?

I am truly curious why you actively ask to avoid the "New Features Guide" which provides much of the information you desire.

New features for each version of Hyperion major planning

Good morning,
I'd like to work on the list of the new features for each of Hyperion Planning major version release: 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.3.1. But if there's already available guide/ chart for this, I'd love to refer to that particular documentation.
Thanks a lot and have a nice day
Adrian

Please check the Release content document - Release 12 Financial Applications, which gives the new functionality of the GL module and there is no doc number for this document, I can send it by email if you want.

This event lasts through January 31, 2014. Visit this forum often to view responses to your questions and the questions of other community members.

Hi Anurag,
Thanks for your questions.
1:Is there change in DB architecture as CUIC is the only option as compared to previous linux version UCCX ?
I assume this is from the tables regarding historical data. The database schema essentially remains the same since UCCX 9.0 had CUIC too and we had a seperate DB Space for CUIC and we still continue with that. The traditional historical tables remain and the replication process remains the same too.
2:Is there any version change for Linux OS used as VOS,
The Linux version is Red Hat Linux 5. To be precise:
[root@uccx10pub /]# cat etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga)
3:Is there any API architecture change in UCCX 10 from previous releases ?
I can answer this more of an overview. The only enhancement in the API side is the introduction of REST API step in the script editor. You can now make REST calls from the script and this ofcourse opens up a whole new world of possiblities.
4:Since from UCCX 10 , we can only use either CAD or Finnesse at one time, whats the impact of changing this after some time in production, let say , i used CAD for 2 months and then i decided to move to Finesse, whats the impact ? or is it a smooth change as switching CUIC and HRC in previoius release ?
For the scenario you mentioned, there is absolutely no problem. The point to note is that the Finesse services are activated/deactivated but the CAD desktop services are ALWAYS running. The only condition to keep in mind is that you can use ONLY ONE type of agent desktop at any time. Also if Finesse is not used and CAD operations are used extensively, it is advisable to shutdown the Finesse service.
5:Is 3rd Party UCS hardware supported by UCCX 10 instead of using Cisco manufactured UCS , can i use HP hardware for Virtualisation ?
Yes, it can be used. This is something called as "Third party specs based specification". The most important things seen for compatibility are:
Inter CPU Model
It it is on thVMWare Hardware Compatibilty List
You can get more information about this on the "Can I use this server?" section of UC Virtualized Hardware page:
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/UC_Virtualization_Supported_Hardware#.22Can_I_use_this_server.3F.22
6:Is Host name change supported?
Yes, the hostname change is supported. The prcocedure is documented in the UCCX 10.0 Administration Guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_10_0/configuration/guide/UCCX_BK_W1AF9DDD_00_uccx-admin-guide-10.0.pdf (Pg 168)

New Feature of Essbase 9.3

Hello,
I read the new feature for Essbase 9.3, and notice the following descriptions:
"Database Export. This new high performance database export gives users flexibility in specifying the subset of data to export including the option of specifying aggregates and dynamic calc members. Data can be exported “lights out” in a variety of formats including binary and ASCII, or directly into relational tables...".
However, when I use my Essbase 9.3.1, I try to export data, and was not able to find any of options listed in the above description.
Anyone had any experience to use this new feature?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Have a read of the documentation on DataExport it should tell you all you need to know :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/calc/dataexport.htm
If you are still having problems after reading and trying it out then maybe post your script on here and I am sure somebody will be able to help.
Cheers
John
