A few questions to Oracle XMLDB Repository

Hello!
1. First of all a general question about XMLDB Repository - what does Oracle suggest how to use the XMLDB Repository and for what (for which applications)?
The documentation doesn't tell me the main selling points of the Repository - perhaps it is a extension of the internet file system (+ XML support), or something similar...
2. Are the folder layers (for example /home, /sys/..., /public) stored in XML
form and are they accessible with an SQL-query? Because when i create a new folder or put i file into the repository via WebDAV or FTP a new record is
inserted in the xdb.xdb$resource table. For example when i create a folder /public/xmldemo and copy then xml files into test via WebDAV. To access them with SQL i can define an XDBURITYPE on each xml-file but isn't there another easier way to access them?
3. I can also copy other files into the repository - like .exe, .doc,... I mean i can't access these files via SQL, so what is the sense of this feature? Or
can i create an Oracle Text Index onto the whole repository and also search in .doc documents? If yes - how (Index onto which tables)?
Thanks!
Markus

1. You can use it for XML database content management
2. You can access using SQL using RESOURCE_VIEW.
3. You can create Oracle Text index on the file stored in XML DB repository.

A few question regarding oracle Vm (and virtualizing Db 11g)

Hi,
I've just started evaluating Oracle vm for our next deployment.
One of the systems I'll need to virtualize is Oracle db 11g. As far as I understand the oracle DB template only comes with ASM? I would prefer to use LVM. What is the best way to install db into virtual machine without asm? Should I start with EL 5.2 and configure it, or could I somehow use the EL that comes with the template?
Regarding LVM: I'm planning to create different volume groups, each with just one logical volume. These volumes would be mounted to guest as /u01, /u02 ... and so on. All volumes will be created on mirrored disks/partitions. Later, I could just move, expand, strip volumes as db usage will require. Does that sound ok?
And another question regardin oracle vm: in the manual, chapter 4.6.2 says: "Install an operating system. This may be done a number of ways.
■ Install an Oracle VM Server-enabled operating system from CD-ROMs...."
Is there a list of server-enabled operating systems anywhere? And maybe more detailed explanation of this step?
Thanks

The Database template is designed to automatically configure and provision the database with ASM and would probably take longer to dismantle.

All volumes will be created on mirrored disks/partitions. Later, I could just move, expand, strip volumes as db usage will require. Does that sound ok?It sounds OK, but ASM does all of that and more. It is also faster (particularly on Oracle VM, as it uses direct access to the disks). ASM also does automatic data levelling and striping. With 11g, I would strongly recommand ASM over LVM for your storage.
Is there a list of server-enabled operating systems anywhere? And maybe more detailed explanation of this step?There isn't a list -- that's possibly badly worded as well. If you don't want to use one of the paravirtualized Oracle Enterprise Linux templates available on eDelivery, you can use any operating system installation CD in ISO format. Note that installations from an ISO are done as fully virtualized guests (i.e. hardware virtualized) and require Intel VT-x or AMD-s extensions to be present and enabled. Hardware virtualized guests are also not as fast as paravirtualized Linux guests.
Oracle only certifies Database 11g running on Enterprise Linux in paravirtualized mode. The simplest way to deploy this is to use the provided templates.

Few questions regarding Oracle Scorecard and strategy management.

Hi,
I have following questions regarding Oracle Scorecard and strategy management:
1. What are the ways in which i can show status of a KPI, like we have colors and symbols, what are others?
2. can we keep log of KPIs, store them, keep report of feedback/action taken on that?
3. Does Scorecard and strategy management have ability to retain history on feedback and log of
entries i.e. date/time, user name?
4. Does Scorecard and strategy management have ability to use common mathematical formulas e.g. median, average, percentiles. Describe.?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Few questions about oracle dataguard

1.what is the advantage of logical standby database over physical standby database?
2.Snapshot standby database which works with the flashback feature is the only option to open the standby database in read write , am i correct?
3.What is the advantage of real time apply?what does meant by recover managed standby using current controlfile?

I am looking to implement Data Guard in my environment and could like to gather some information on this if it is feasible and then probably a POC prior doing it.
I have a few queries and would to get it clear. My objective is to offload the primary database from reporting. Thus, I would like to setup a reporting DB.
1. It is said that a logical standby database would be suitable for this instance. Can I setup physical standby DB and achieve similarly?
2. How can I maintain the synchonization between the primary DB and the newly open standby DB after open? Upon activation, will the standby DB be "broken in sync" and require a resetup again daily?
3. Can I achieve a real time reporting DB? Or will it be always a day behind assuming we do it daily activation of reporting DB and then 'destroy' it at the end of the day and rebuilt again?
4. You mentioned Materialized view on logical standby DB. These are built in the logical standby DB and query directly from the primary DB?
5. Data Guard, do we require a separate Oracle license?
Many thanks.

Few questions about Oracle Timesten

Hi All
Just want to experiment with Oracle timesten. I have few douts.
1) How can i calculate the amount of extra RAM required if i install times ten. I have a existing database of size around 1 GB.
2) Does single instance of timesten caters to a single database or it can cater to multiple databases residing on same machine( as is the case with ASM).
3) Any step by step guide pointers?? for installation on Linux(OEL5 or 4) .. ( I came across a few on internet but not very good).
4) Once times ten is installed will the oracle database server function like before or some roles are taken over by timesten?
Thanks in advance

Shared Memory Size used by TimesTen PermSize ( MB ) + TempSize ( MB ) + LogBuffSize (KB) + few MB overheads
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/timesten/706/TimesTen-Documentation/api.pdf
PermSize
Specifically indicates the size in MB of the permanent memory region for the
data store. You may increase PermSize at first connect but not decrease it.
TimesTen returns a warning if you attempt to decrease the permanent memory
region size. If the data store does not exist, a PermSize value of 0 or no value
indicates that the default size should be used. For an existing data store, a value
of 0 or no value indicates that the existing size should not be changed.
Use ttSize command for each cachegroup and sum it up
TempSize
TempSize indicates the total amount of memory in MB allocated to the
temporary region. TempSize has no pre-defined fixed default value. If left
unspecified, its value is determined from PermSize as follows:
If PermSize is less than 64MB, TempSize = 6 MB + ceiling(PermSize / 4 MB).
If PermSize is greater than 64MB, TempSize =14 MB +
ceiling(PermSize / 8 MB).
TimesTen rounds the value up to the nearest MB.

Oracle 9i R2 Installation on RH Linux 7.3 -- Have a few questions.

Hello,
I am at the end of the Oracle 9i R2 installation and have a few questions.
1) The "Agent Configuration Assistant" keeps failing. I get the following message.
Parameters "orahome" = /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0
Parameters "nodeinfo" = NODE_VALUE
Agent Service Failed
What does this mean and how can I complete Agent Configuration Assistant install?
2) I completed the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant successfully and created passwords for sys and sysoper (not sure if these were the exact users). Note I did not modify any other users or unlock them.
How do I log into the sqlplus prompt, what users should I use and how can I create new users and databases?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Chris Barone

(1) You can probably just ignore the Agent Configuration (are you using the Agent to collect data?)
(2) sqlplus '/ as sysdba' will log you into the SQL*Plus prompt.

3 Tier implementation-Few questions

Guys,
We have 3 tire environment i.e source systems will send files into stage database in separate server and target warehouse database in other server.
When we get the files into shared directory in stage server we need to load them by using external tables in stage area and load them into load tables in main target data warehouse and then integrate into star schema.
In the stage database we are having master repository and work repository and ODI_TEMP Schema.
I have few questions here :-
1)where to install agent?Is it on stage server?
2)What KM's i have to use?Is it DBLINK related KM's? If dblink KM's
what privileges in need and where? and what temp objects it will create where?
or if any other KM's i can use to move the data from external tables in stage database into load tables in datawarehouse like LKM's or IKM's as both the databases are ORACLE databases?
Do you they will work without db link km's?
3)and where the temp objects will be created?
Can you please clarify above mentioned things.
Cheers
Jinni

Jinni,
The answers to your questions
1)where to install agent?Is it on stage server?
you have to install the agent in staging and target as well.
2)What KM's i have to use?Is it DBLINK related KM's? If dblink KM's
what privileges in need and where? and what temp objects it will create where?
Let me start with temporary objects--wherever is your work schema is specified in the topology manager..your temporary objects are created. Knowledge modules..depending upon what type of load you want..control append for just insert/truncate insert
incremental update for merge/update insert....and SCD for slowly changing dimensions.
Priveleges..you need to create/insert/delete on the staging server...
or if any other KM's i can use to move the data from external tables in stage database into load tables in datawarehouse like LKM's or IKM's as both the databases are ORACLE databases?
Do you they will work without db link km's?
yes they can..you need to create connections in the topology manager and create corresponding models.
3)and where the temp objects will be created?
Let me start with temporary objects--wherever is your work schema is specified in the topology manager..your temporary objects are created.
Thanks

A few questions re: installing 10g on a virtual linux machine

I am in the process of building up a virtual linux box on my XP laptop and have a few questions regarding the networking setup. Purpose is to have a sandbox *nix setup at my fingertips.
Here's what I have so far:
Dell Latitude laptop running Win XP. This is a DHCP machine.
Installed VMWare Player
Created virtual machine with OEL 4.8, with NAT network config
So far, so good. Next step is to install 10.2.0.4 EE on the virtual Linux machine. When installing 10.2.0.4 directly on the XP system, of course I had to install a loopback adapter to provide a fixed IP address for Oracle, all well documented in the installation guide. While it is my understanding that the loopback adapter, as installed and configured on Windows, is primarily a Windows issue, I would expect something of the same fundamental under Linux insomuch as it is still a dhcp machine. However, when checking the relevant installation guide, the section on networking considerations and DHCP simply gave a two-paragraph discussion of what DHCP was. I found no discussion on how to deal with it in a *nix environment.
This particular vmware setup gives me a choice of 3 network configs - Bridged , NAT, or host-only (private vitrual net shared only with the host) I am currently configured to use NAT because I need outside connectivity (to yum server, etc) but do not want an additional device (ip address) on the real network. I'm guessing I could use host-only most of the time and when I need to access the internet, shut down the db and switch back to NAT.
This is all new territory for me, so I guess I'm looking at some 'best practices' advice as much as anything.

Ed,
I would encourage going for OEL 5u2 or 5u3 and including the oracle-validated package. It makes sure you have all the prerequisites for 10gR2 and makes life much easier.
I set up dozens of these machines for Oracle U classes. What I started with originally is 2 virtual NIC - a NAT and a Bridged. The Bridged allowed me to access the outside world at any time and was assigned using DHCP from the local network. The NAT I'd configure manually as a static IP, and I used it primarily to provide a second 'virtual network' so the classroom machines could communicate with each other.
In my latest iteration, I've dropped back to a single Bridged NIC based on DHCP. For Oracle install purposes, I
- pick a hostname (myhost.oraclass.com)
- switch to static IP (I've scripted it - edits /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/syscfg/network : hostname) but using the network GUI tool is ok as well
- I choose the static to macth the DHCP address assigned
- inject a single line into the /etc/hosts with the new static address, the hostname, and a hostname that I want to publish
192.168.4.21 myhost.oraclass.com orahost student21.oraclass.com student21
- set a global env variable (/etc/profile.d/oraprofile.sh (export HOSTNAME=myhost.oraclass.com)
and after installing Oracle, I switch back to DHCP. Then if I want to travel, I can easily switch the 'static' address as often as I want (also scripted) to match the IP addr the 'host DHCP' provides.
I've used the NAT. It hands out a DHCP address and usually it works for me (and Oracle) simply by making it static (as above) and letting VMWare container handle it. But every once in a while it seems to 'jam up' and I'd need to fight with it. So I've converted to bridged .. with the help of some scripts I've written.

Few questions about upgrading database

Hi everyone,
greetings of the day
I have few questions about the upgrading database,
In export and import mode
1.can we have new name for the target database,
2.I think we need to create tablespaces ,do we need to create users as well
3.If we are upgrading from 9i to 10g database ,any activity to be perfromed other than creating a new sysaux tablespace
4.How come we get consistent export
In DBUA mode ( in the same machine only)
1.Do we need shutdown / startup restrict the database
2.How can we move the files to the new location
3.Can we change db_name of the database
4.Can we use the old database as well
In manual upgration using catupgrd scripts
1.Can we rename the db_name
2.can we use old database as well
3.how to move the database files to the new location
4.can we perform this kind of upgrade on a different server
5.when we startup upgrade in the new home ,how it identifies the old database in-order to upgrade the old one
Thanks

2.I think we need to create tablespaces ,do we need to create users as wellYou can create users, but it is not necessary. You need to pre-create tablespaces only if their characteristics/locations on the target are different than on the source.
3.If we are upgrading from 9i to 10g database ,any activity to be perfromed other than thisNot that I am aware of - see the steps in the Upgrade Guide - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/expimp.htm
4.How come we get consistent export wetherEnsure the database is started in restricted mode, so users will not be able to access the database during the export.
>

1.Do we need shutdown / startup restrict the databaseNo - DBUA will do this automatically for you.
2.How can we move the files to the new locationYou can after the upgrade move the datafiles to wherever you want - use the ALTER DATABASE RENAME DATAFILE (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_1004.htm#i2082829) command.
3.Can we change db_name of the databaseI do not believe this is possible with DBUA.
4.Can we use the old database as wellNo - the database will be upgraded by DBUA - there is no "old" database.

Few questions about apex + epg and cookie blocked by IE6

Hi,
I would like to ask a few questions about apex and epg.
I have already installed and configured apex 3.2 on oracle 10g (on my localhost - computer name 'chen_rong', ip address -192.168.88.175 ), and enable anonymous access xdb http server.
now,
1. I can access 'http://chen_rong' , 'http://localhost' , 'http://192.168.88.175' without input username / password for realm 'XDB' in IE6;
2. I can access 'http://localhost/apex/apex_admin' , 'http://192.168.88.175/apex/apex_admin' , and I can be redirected into apex administation page after input admin/<my apex admin password> for realm 'APEX' in IE6;
3. I can access 'http://chen_rong/apex/apex_admin' in IE6, but after input admin/password , I can not be redirected into administation page, because the cookie was blocked by IE6.
then, the first question is :
Q1: What is the difference among 'http://chen_rong' , 'http://localhost' , 'http://192.168.88.175' ? I have already include site 'chen_rong' into my trusted stes! why the cookie was blocked by IE6. I have already tried firefox and google browser, both of them were ok for 'chen_rong', no cookie blocked from site 'chen_rong'!
and,
1. I have tried to use the script in attachment to test http authentication and also want to catch the cookie by utl_http .
2. please review the script for me.
3. I did:
SQL> exec show_url('http://localhost/apex/apex_admin/','ADMIN','Passw0rd');
HTTP response status code: 401
HTTP response reason phrase: Unauthorized

I use oracle database enterprise edtion 10.2.0.3. I have already figured out the epg on 10.2.0.3 to support apex 3.2.
And as I described above, the apex site works fine for ip address , and localhost. but the cookie will be blocked by IE6, if I want to access the site by 'http://computername:port/apex/apex_admin'. This problem does not occured in firefox and google browser. Could someone give me answer?

EBS 12.1.3: a few questions about cloning

Hi,
We have EBS 12.1.3 on AIX 7.1.
A few questions about cloning from shared application tier environment to non-shared application tier environment. We have been following "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone [ID 406982.1]"
Source environment (shared app tier):
- Two active application nodes and LB
- One active database and one passive database setup with Oracle Data Guard.
- SSL termination at the load balancer
- PCP implemented
Target environment (non-shared app tier):
- One active application node
- One active database node
- No SSL
- No PCP
After the cloning was completed we noticed the following problems in the target system:
1) Home page cannot be accessed as application tier $CONTEXT_FILE still contains "https" and ssl termination settings.
Workaround:
Modify (with text editor) Application Tier $CONTEXT_FILE as follows.
<webentryurlprotocol oa_var="s_webentryurlprotocol" customized="yes">http</webentryurlprotocol>
<sslterminator oa_var="s_enable_sslterminator">#</sslterminator>
<login_page oa_var="s_login_page" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin</login_page>
<externURL oa_var="s_external_url" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000</externURL>
Run AutoConfig and start application tier.
Is there a better and supported solution for this?
2) Concurrent managers do not work correctly as they have still old node names (used in PCP in the source system). Workaround used:
1. Logon to EBS web GUI and remove all nodes from all concurrent managers.
2. Shutdown application tier. Verify that all concurrent managers have been shutdown. If not, kill the processes manually
3. As apps user run cmclean.sql
4. Restart application tier
Is there a better solution for this?
3) Database changes from ARCHIVELOG mode to nonarchivelog mode in the target system. Is there anyway to prevent this?
4) Also, we would like to perform a full clone (app + db tiers) from production without shutting down the application. Is this possible? What would be the best documents to describe this? In Production, we have Oracle Data Guard setup with physical standby as per "Oracle Tech Note: Business Continuity for Oracle E-Business Release 12 Using Oracle 11g Physical Standby Database [ID 1070033.1]". This can be used when performing a hot clone for the database, right? What about the application tier? Steps described in 406982.1 include running AutoConfig in which application tier should be down. Does the application need to be down when running "Maintain Snapshot Information"?
5) One final question (not related to cloning). Oracle Enterprise Manager console webUI has recently stopped working in IE8. E.g. https://myhost.mydomain.com:5501/em gives "Page cannot be displayed". This was working correctly last week. In Firefox, the same link is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks for your answers in advance.

1. Logon to EBS web GUI and remove all nodes from all concurrent managers.
2. Shutdown application tier. Verify that all concurrent managers have been shutdown. If not, kill the processes manually
3. As apps user run cmclean.sql
4. Restart application tier
Is there a better solution for this?You are following the best approach. You could update the node details from the backend if you want.
3) Database changes from ARCHIVELOG mode to nonarchivelog mode in the target system. Is there anyway to prevent this?By default, Rapid Clone will create the target database in noarchivelog mode.
4) Also, we would like to perform a full clone (app + db tiers) from production without shutting down the application. Is this possible? What would be the best documents to describe this? In Production, we have Oracle Data Guard setup with physical standby as per "Oracle Tech Note: Business Continuity for Oracle E-Business Release 12 Using Oracle 11g Physical Standby Database [ID 1070033.1]". This can be used when performing a hot clone for the database, right? Correct.
What about the application tier? Steps described in 406982.1 include running AutoConfig in which application tier should be down. Does the application need to be down when running "Maintain Snapshot Information"?You can copy the application tier node files while the application is up. And, you do not need to shutdown the application to run "Maintain Snapshot Information".
5) One final question (not related to cloning). Oracle Enterprise Manager console webUI has recently stopped working in IE8. E.g. https://myhost.mydomain.com:5501/em gives "Page cannot be displayed". This was working correctly last week. In Firefox, the same link is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
If it is working from one browser, then it should not be an EM issue. Have you tried from a different client and see if this works? Have you changed any setting in your IE browser? Please make sure you add the EM URL to the trusted sites list.
Thanks,
Hussein

Questions about Oracle 8ias

Ok, I've looked at Oracle 8ias and I have a few questions I hope someone can answer for me.
First a little background into our organization, we do documentation management for NASA. We use Solaris Servers running Netscape Enterprise Server, Documentum EDMS and Oracle 7.32 (highest version allowed by Documentum).
The cost of support and and development are (in my opinion) high. Documentum is an exceptional product but it would benefit from a better web server/database relationship.
Now for the questions:
1.) I like the fact that Oracle is using Apache for a web server, we are currently using NES and I believe it to be limited in comparison. We also use an Electronic Document Management System product called Documentum. Do you see in the future any possibility that an Apache module could be built for Documentum in a way that we could use this to our advantage (something like mod_documentum).
2.) Will Oracle 8ias web server work with Documentum at all, and if so would our performance increase "significantly" (enough to justify expense of switching servers). Trust me, that's a hard justification around here.
3.) Can Oracle HTTP server be compiled with PHP support like my Apache module on my Linux box at home.
4.) Do you provide any means of Rapid Application Development that works with the server and if so please say it is NOT "ASP".
I could probably think of many more questions but that's enough for now, all I'm after is the most efficient and powerful system possible, hopefully at the same time getting some relief for us developers who need power and control and seem to have neither.

I don't believe it's possible to access :new and :old column lists dynamically. You can use dynamic SQL to generate triggers for a number of different tables that have the same logic but hard code different column lists.
Triggers cannot take parameters. Since triggers are fired automatically, how (and where) would you pass in parameters?
