About "arch1_31941_678636531.dbf" files

Hi, All -
Oracle 11g on RHEL5
These physical arch files are filling up the space available resulting in archiver errors. Please let me know if there is a way to turn this off and should I turn this off. We do take regular backups and I am not sure the use of these. Please let me know... Thanks!

You say you're taking regular backups. How, exactly? RMAN? Conventional, non-RMAN? Hot? Cold?
If you're taking a hot (aka "online") backup, the archive logs are aboslutely required for recovery. You MUST back them up, then remove them from the archive log area, to free space. This continual backup and removal of archive logs should be set up to run all day long, as needed, in between backups.Most people will allocate enough space to the archivelog destination to not require "continual" backup and removal. I find once a day, along with my database backup, to be sufficient. The most I've ever had to do was once every 6 hours.
>
If you're only taking cold (aka "offline") backups, then it depends on what your recovery point objective is. If you only care about recovering to the point in time that the backup was taken, then you don't need the archive logs, and can turn off archivelog mode on your database. If, however, you want to be able to recover up to the last committed transaction, then you need to remain in archivelog mode, and need to manage backups of the archive logs as I described in the previous paragraph. If that's the case, you should consider switching to hot backups, as there's no point in shutting down your database to take backups if you're in archivelog mode.
Hope that helps,

Heterogeneous Services & Oracle Generic Connectivity For DBF file?

Dear All,
Can We Create dbf file directly means without using CSV file?
Can we use Heterogeneous Services & Oracle Generic Connectivity for creating dbase DBF file or Writing in dbase DBF file?
I have used it for Excel and Access for connectivity with Oracle 9i
but I dont have any idea about dbase DBF file?
Any help in this reagards will be highly appriciatalble.
Thanks
Rana

HSODBC/DG4ODBC is generic connectivity and you find the generic setup in:
Note.109730.1 How to setup generic connectivity (HSODBC) for 32 bit Windows (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003)
There is nothing sepcial for DBF's. Just define a system ODBC DSN using a DBASE ODBC driver pointing to the DBF file.
The rest is absolute similar to the note.
If you have already a running HSODBC/DG4ODBC the quickest test is to just define a new system dsn for the DBF file, then change in the init>hsodbc/dg4odbc>.ora file the HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO parameter pointing to the newly created system DSN. Last step is within the Oracle db to define a database link.

I wouldn't think so these days ... however, you could try posting this in the heterogeneous services - which is somewhere on OTN.
If it we me, I'd convert the DBF into something easier to use with Oracle : like XML or CSV

Access 2013 - Unable to link or import DBF files

2013 does NOT recognize DBF files, we are trying to find a solid work around to link to our DBF files. there are about 30 DBF files that get updated EVERY week. And there are about 60 employees that link to various DBF files.
Does anyone know if a driver or some sort or some sort of solution for this? Any guidance is appreciated. thank you.

Thanks so much for the information.
The DBF files I am using are from Shapefiles that are being used in our mapping software, ArcMap, and are coming from vendors and constantly being updated. Therefore, the need to import to Access nightly and use the data in the dbf files for other
VBA routines. Another problem is that the mapping software can only link to .mdb files, and .mdb files only import .xls data. Even though Excel 2013 does not support importing dbf files using VBA, I could still open and save
a dbf file as a .xls file using VBA as shown below:
For i = 1 To 3
'Open First DBF file and Save
Workbooks.Open "H:\Dbf_Files\Dbf_File" & i & ".dbf"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "H:\Dbf_Files\Dbf_File" & i & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Next I
I found methods on another website to create .vbs and .bat files to run this as a nightly Scheduled Task. After I create the .xls files, another Scheduled Task imports them to Access. I can provide more details if anyone needs them.

ORACLE 9i startup problems. Try to open dbf file which doesn't exist

Hi all,
I'm trying to startup one oracle instance from sqlplus.
I can mount the database but i can't open it because try to open one dbf file incorrect.
Anyone know where i can indicate wich files should use? Perhps it's in the init.ora file?
Regards

I am not sure which method rdomene used but I would think he probably used the alter database backup control file to trace command (since he could mount the db)to create a text version that he could look at.
I have head about people who did not know Oracle provided a means of dumping a text version of the control file to trace who used UNIX strings or a binary editor to see the contents.
It is unfortunat that the text version, which can be used to reconstruct the control file, does not preserve the rman data.

What are .dbf Files in $ORACLE_HOME.dbs?

It has been brought to my attention that my disk usage on my new system jumped from 22% to 68% last night. The culprit appears to be the .dbf files in $ORACLE_HOME.dbs. What are these files? Where can I go to learn more about them and what to expect of them?
Thanks,
Gregory

Wow, I should have known better than to start a thread and then go to lunch. Sorry I’m taking so long getting back to all of you.
This is Oracle 11g. Our current production system is 10g.
Here’s a little background info. We have a flat file base ERP. Each night we copy .txt files from the ERP to the Oracle server. We have external tables, table_name_load, mapped over the .txt files. At midnight, we run a massive collection of inserts into regular tables from the load tables. We then use this day-old set of data as the basis for reports and several ApEx applications.
You’re right, I can’t claim to have a good understanding of Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA). I’m a developer first and I’m working on DBA skills.
The files are all named something like:
arch1_191_653243844.dbf
arch1_192_653243844.dbf
arch1_193_653243844.dbf
etc.
There are over 300 of them and they are about 45M to 50M each. (The whole directory is about 14G.)
SID is oraprod
I specified locations for each of the three datafiles for our main tablespace (on three different drives), a secondary “hot” tablespace with the most frequently accessed datafile, three index datafiles for our main index tablespace, the “hot” index tablespace, temp, undo, and the control files.
The only things that I did not specify a location for are: sysaux; system; and users.
SQL> select name from v$datafile;
NAME
/oradb/app/oradata/oraprod/system01.dbf
/oradb/app/oradata/oraprod/sysaux01.dbf
/d02/oraprod/undo_tbs_1.dbf
/d02/oraprod/apex_main_tbs_1.dbf
/d03/oraprod/lib_hot_index_tbs_1.dbf
/d01/oraprod/lib_hot_tbs_1.dbf
/d01/oraprod/lib_main_index_tbs_1.dbf
/d02/oraprod/lib_main_index_tbs_2.dbf
/d03/oraprod/lib_main_index_tbs_3.dbf
/d02/oraprod/lib_main_tbs_1.dbf
/d03/oraprod/lib_main_tbs_2.dbf
/d01/oraprod/lib_main_tbs_3.dbf
/oradb/app/oradata/oraprod/users01.dbf
13 rows selected.
Based on what I’ve read in the 2 Day DBA, I put my flash recovery area all alone on /d04 and I have USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST set.
The files were created at two times: one during my initial data load yesterday; the other during the scheduled job this morning starting at midnight.
After checking our production system, I realize that we have a whole bunch of these same kinds of files in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs there also. However, I only have them from last night, not two separate times.
I’m concerned that the older files on the new system aren’t clearing out like the files on the production system are.

Skgfrcre 01119, dbf file already exists.

Now I've done it. Migrating data from msaccess to oracle, I thought to rebuild without errors about things preexisting by dropping the tablespace over on oracle. Now I get skgfrcre 0119, file already exists, for the dbf file.
Is there a way to tell the to-oracle migration to create the database with "reuse"? I tried generating a migration script, but don't see a tablespace definition statement there.
Many thanks for any pointers. I'm pretty green at oracle, must sink or swim.

Open .dbf files

Here i've read:
strings command in Linux prints all printable characters in a binary file to the screen. We will use grep with strings to verify our sensitive data is visible or not.
$ strings ts_tde01.dbf | grep sensitive
This is very sensitive data
$I'm testing the TDE approach.
How about Windows? How can i open a .dbf file to see what contains?

You can certainly open a DBF file in Windows in your favorite text editor. You'll see a bunch of binary data in addition to human-readable strings.
I am not aware of a command line utility like the Unix "strings" command that would run on Windows and isolate out just the printable characters. Obviously, you could certainly write such a program in whatever text processing language you prefer. Or you could install cygwin to get the unix tools on Windows.

Opensource jdbc driver for foxpro (dbf file)

Hi!
Does anybody know an opensource jdbc driver for use with Visual Fox Pro database (dbf file)?
Thanks in advance

JDBC-ODBC bridge? I read about it. But I have doubts:
The dbf is in a windows system. Can I use the bridge it to connect remotely from a Linux System?
If true, Do I need ODBC driver in the Linux System?
However, I think jdbc is more standard (maybe some day the dbf will be moved to a "normal" db)The idea of the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver is that it is JDBC. So in your code you use JDBC. Then, in essence, the bridge driver maps your JDBC calls onto ODBC ones instead.
As far as the Linux part of this goes... I honestly don't know. I think I once heard of someone successfully doing this but I could be wrong. You would for sure need an ODBC Unix driver for DBF. I would suggest searching this forum (for using JDBC -. ODBC on Unix/Linux) before spending a lot of time going down this route. Like I said I think it is possible but I could be wrong, I've never done it
anyway and it wouldn't be a really popular idea.'
So that sort of leaves you wanting a type-4 (pure Java driver for DBF). I think your choices at this point are:
1) Pay money. I believe there are non-free pure Java JDBC drivers for DBF. So you would have to pay money for it however outside of that this is probably the easiest solution and best fits everything else you've talked about.
2) Don't use JDBC for the DBF part. Like the link I posted earlier there do seem to be a few free open-source projects for reading and writing DBF files from Java. This plan though has the serious drawback that it will tie the database interaction code tightly to DBF and not be portable to another database.
3) Drop FoxPro.
So I think your customer needs to pick the option above that best meets the requirements.

Install issue Oracle XE 10g - missing dbf files

After installation of Oracle XE 10g on Win XP SP3, I can not logon.
Errors:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
After checking several threads in this forum, I found, that the setup did not
install any dbf file.
I can not guess, what caused this problem.
Several de-installs and installs. Download other (newer) installation package did
not help.
Installation on another Win XP SP3 has the same problem. On a brand new Win XP installation
it worked, but I need it on the other machine too.
Can anybody help? Any hints?
Thank you.
Manfred

If you don't get the .dbf files, installer didn't finish all the setup tasks.
Check the docs for all the deinstall steps, especially the registry cleanups, leftover bits there can keep it from working :(

Oracle XE 11g x64 does not run. No *DBF files inside of the XE folder. Windows 7 Pro x64.

Hello everyone!
I hope you are doing well all. In my case I have some troubles by installing Oracle XE 11g on my PC. My OS is Windows 7 Pro x64.
1. I activated the Administrator mode on my PC (net user Administrator /active:yes)
2. Started the setup as Administrator. The setup process was finished successfully with no errors showed.
3. Started the Database, OracleServiceXE, OracleXETNListener and other services.
4. Tried to connect using sqlplus-> connect system ->password, what in result gave me ORA-01034 Oracle not available and ORA-27101 Shared memory realm does not exist errors.
5. Then I recognized that my C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\oradata\XE folder is empty when it should be usually full with 6 DBF file.
6. I opened the cloneDBCreation.log and it contains these data:

I spent around 2 days to come to this reason and now I do not know what to do next.
My actions to resolve this problem:
1. Checked if my user has administrative rights and belongs to ora_dba. It does!
2. Turned Microsoft UAC off.
3. Set the system and local variables of ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, PATH, TNS-ADMIN to the appropriate values in Enivornment Variables:
     - ORACLE_BASE -> C:\oraclexe
     - ORACLE_HOME -> %ORACLE_BASE%\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server
     - ORACLE_SID -> XE
     - Added to PATH -> C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\bin;
     - TNS_ADMIN -> %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin
4. Removed Oracle XE 11g and reinstalled to another drive. No sense!
Some more errors:

I understand that I need to logon as batch job. I added me to this policy in User Rights Assignments, but still I get these "DIM-00019: create service error" and "O/S-Error: (OS 1387)". And I guess just therefore my database is not starting well.

I have tried to install both of them lots of times but in each case I receive the same in my XE.bat file:

DIM-00019: create service error
O/S-Error: (OS 1387) Unable to add or remove a member from the local group because this member does not exist.
Have checked OS 1387 error at Microsoft Support and as possible cause of the problem they give as follows:
This issue can occur if the environment has a disjointed namespace (i.e. the domain has different NetBIOS and DNS names). For example, assume that the domain has a NetBIOS name of "domain.com" and a DNS name of "domain-old.com." When users are added in the Windows UI, they are displayed in the format of domain\ComputerName. However, you notice in the error log that there was an attempt to add a computer account in the format of domain-old\ComputerName. (System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager install fails and generates ID: 4323: "A member could not be added")
Tried to find out my DNS name, but it is impossible because I don't have any domain installed and my machine is not connected to it. Some other blog (Install Oracle 11gR2 on Windows) advices to work with adding my computer account to some non-real windows domain (just for the purpose of resolving the network) as well and reinstall the database then. If I undestand it right I need minimum 2 machines for this. But I own just one, where the server is based and thought that is enough to run the database... no idea ..

Crystal Report Performance for dbf files.

We have a report which was designed 5 -6 years ago. This report has 4 linked word doc and dbf file as datasource. This report also as 3 subreports. The size of field in dbf is 80 chars and couple of field are memo field. The report performance was excellent before we migrated the crystall report to 2008. After CR2008 the system changed and it is suddenly really slow. We have not change our reports so much it should have an influence on performance. When the user presses the preview button on printing tool window the control is transferred to Crystal. Something has happened inside black box of Crystal ( IMO ). the dll we have are crdb_p2bxbse.dll 12.00.0000.0549 . The issues seems to be of xbase driver (not possible to use latest version of crdb_p2bxbse.dll and dbase files with memo fields).

Hi Kamlesh,
Odd that the word doc is opened before the RPT, I would think that the RPT would need to be opened first so it sees that the doc also needs to be opened. Once it's been loaded then the connection can be closed, CR embeds the DOC in the RPT so the original is no longer required.
Also, you should upgrade to Service Pack 3, it appears you are still using the original release. SP1 is required first but then you should be able to skip SP2 and install SP3.
You did not say what earlier version of Cr you were using? After CR 8.5 we went to full UNICODE support at which time they completely re-built the report designer and removed the database engines from the EXE and made them separate dll's now. OLE objecting also changed, you can use a formula and database field to point to linked objects now so they can be refreshed any time. Previously they were only refreshed when the report was opened.
You may want to see if linking them using a database field would speed up the process. Other than that I can't suggest anything else as a work around.
Thank you

When I tried to open Firefox today I received a message about a missing file (Wrusr.ddl) and that Firefox was not able to open. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it did not work. I have no idea what that file is or where is went. I used Firefox 2 days ago and it was working fine. The only thing that changed between then and today was that I renewed my antivirus software but I definitely did not delete any files and I made sure that Firefox is allowed to access the internet. I've been using that same software (Webroot) with Firefox for years and never had any issues before today. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have included a screenshot of the error message below.

hello angelag.132, the WRusr.dll file is part of Webroot SecureAnywhere - try to reinstall or uninstall that software.

How can I recover data from a USERS01.DBF file?

So I had a Hard Drive die and that took out the OS and the Oracle RDBMS Installation (Oracle9i Enterprise Edition, 9.2.0.6.0 on WinXP). Fortunately most of the data in the database (9.5GB worth) was in the USERS01.DBF file which was on another drive and unharmed. I was also able to salvage the CONTROL01.CTL file, but everything else from the database is corrupted and irretrievable.
I've just setup a new machine with the same version of Oracle and I created a brand new database with the same SID as before. I then tried to do:
SQL> alter tablespace users offline temporary;
Tablespace altered.
(then I swapped the USERS01.DBF file with the original one and then tried to recover it)
SQL> recover tablespace users;
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01110: data file 9: 'F:\ORAHOME\ORADATA\MYDB\USERS01.DBF'
ORA-01122: database file 9 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 9: 'F:\ORAHOME\ORADATA\MYDB\USERS01.DBF'
ORA-01206: file is not part of this database - wrong database id
Is it even possible to do what I'm trying to? I had no backup of the USERS01.DBF file, but there should be some way to get at the data that is inside it...
any help or a pointer in the right direction is much appreciated.
thanks

Whilst this isn't a direct answer, running any form of "recovery" will require archive logs, and it doesn't appear that you have archive logs related to this data file.
If you had your system.dbf file in addition to a control file and data file, I'd imagine might have enough to bring a database online using a "cold backup" type restore.
The specific error you show references the DBID in your data file does not reference the DBID in your control file. You don't appear to have restored your control file backup. This would make your existing .dbf files now not load, though a number of them can be rebuilt, not all of them can.
