AIX 5.3 TL 05 and Oracle 9i

HI
I need to have some information first about TL 05 for AIX 5.3 ?
In what context the bug really appears ?
Before this upgrade of my OS i must be in the serenity ocean !

Den

I need to have some information first about TL 05 for AIX 5.3 ?What kind of info? (first bet, try IBM support line)
In what context the bug really appears ?The bug? If you ever find a stack of softwares with just one bug, be sure you have found that place you are looking for... ;-)
Do you perhaps refer to an "IO Interop issue"? Read MetaLink Note:390656.1
Also, TL 05 service packs 1 (which includes the AIX part of the needed "fix") and 2 have been released
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/unixservers/aixfixes.html (what did they do to good ol' ML?)
Take a look at Note:282036.1 which is updated with the latest requirements for installing on AIX.

Change Hostname of an AIX system running Solman 4.0 and Oracle 10

Hello all,
I need to change the hostname of a server running SAP Solution Manager 4.0.
The server, OS, IP address will be the same.
I don't know what are the steps to make this correctly. I think that I need to make changes on Oracle and SAP files.
My Solman is running on IBM AIX 5.3, Kernel 7.00 unicode and Oracle 10.2.0.1.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Carlos,
The procedure of changing the hostname is described in SAP note :

Using MAP on networks with AIX and Oracle

Im new to MAP. We have an environment with Windows and AIX hosts which i want to use MAP on. I see plenty of references to MAP being compatable with Linux and even HP-UX. But will it also discover AIX hosts too? In particular, Oracle databases
on AIX? Thanks!!

Some distros of Linux and HP-UX for UNIX are what is supported, but it may be possible for MAP to inventory AIX, but no guarantees. For Oracle, when MAP inventories a Linux/UNIX machine, it queries for the RPM and DPKG installations then looks for ‘Oracle’
in the vendor attribute. Any application that is not listed in either of those queries is not discovered by MAP.
Therefore, if Oracle was installed by some other means then it is unlikely to be discovered through this method. Admittedly, I have almost no knowledge of how these services work and if they register software or something else.

BRBACKUP fails with DB13 and TIVOLI on AIX and ORACLE

Hi,
We have the Tivoli setup for SAP on AIX and Oracle.
when we run the brbackup directly we are able to get it through. But when we do the same with DB13 and Tivoli attached we are not able to get through and it throws an error.
Would be very nice and kind of you if you could share your setup knowledge with me regarding Tivoli and SAP.
Thanks & Regards

Unfortunately nobody here has a crystal ball to look into and see what is happening on your system in both cases.
We could ask you "have you done this" or "did you configure that" but it´s very cumbersome.
So please: provide logfiles of failed attempts if there is "an error" so we see which error it is and we can see if we can help.

Migration of SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 from Windows(OS), SQL Server(DB) to AIX(OS) and Oracle(DB).

Dear All,
I have SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 running on window servers and sql server database. We want to migrate this to AIX and oracle.
Can you please share what should be the best approach to carry on this migration?
Regards,
Asleh

Hi Mohammed,
Regarding your Query below is the suggestion:
Step I: Preparing for moving BOBJ application from Windows to AIX
There are some tasks that you need to perform:
To configure the existing deployment
Perform inventory and cleanup, to ensure that only the required content is moved.
Run the Repository Diagnostic Tool to detect any inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository. The upgrade management tool will not run successfully if there are inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository.
Identify any content that the upgrade management tool can't upgrade, along with the process required to upgrade that content. There is some content like Voyager Workspaces or Desktop Intelligence documents that require manual intervention before running the upgrade management tool.
Back up existing repositories, including the system database and the Input and Output File Repository Servers.
Back up custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
To configure the planned BI 4.x deployment
Setup and configure the Middleware and ODBC connections.
Ensure that your machines meet the deployment system's requirements, you can find information about the supported platforms in the Platform Availability Matrix (PAM) http://service.sap.com/support -> Help and Support -> SAP BusinessObjects Support -> Documentation -> Supported Platform s/PARs -> SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.x
Step II:
You can use database backup & FRS backup (Offline) in new environment (AIX) to deploy BOBJ 4.x Version
Take the help of DBA to move CMS & AUDIT database backup from SQL Server (Windows) to Oracle (AIX)
Test the Universe,reports, Check the rights
Step III:
If you are configured any SSO then make sure that same configuration is deployed in new environment (AIX).
Test the user SSO in new environment (AIX).
Or
You can also use Promotion manager to move the contenet from Windows (Business Objects Application) to UNIX (Business Objects Application)
Only prerequisite is Business Objects Application version should be same.
You can copy content only 50 Object at a time in One Job
FRS Offline backup is required.
Necessary files regarding custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
Please refer the below KBA for more details

AIX 5.3 best practices for oracle DB 10.2.0.4

customer is using AIX 5.3 (AIX PROD_aix 3 5 000CA2A2D900) and DB version is 10.2.0.4
DB is critical & Recently getting migrated to AIX from WIndows.
To make sure we don't face any probs after migration,we are implementing best practices at OS level .. so far we've implemented following.
1)All dbf's are existing on JFS2 filesystem -- We've enabled CIO for mount points(dbf's,redo's)
2)Changed the AIX_THREAD_SCOPE to S , previously AIX_thread_scope was set to P
3)Changed minperm% to 5% and maxperm% to 20%
Do we need to change the memory page size to best fit DB needs? or do we need to use large pages?,Any Document available from IBM? what is default pagesize used(how to check)?
How to check NIC is 100mbps or 1gbps?what is the command.
thanks in advance..

IBM whitepaper "Oracle Architechture and Tuning on AIX" might be a good starting point. Not just a list of "magic" settings, but some real content as well.
Some comments about the settings you've implemented so far:
1) Be sure to use an allocation unit size of 512B for filesystems storing redo logs and control files, it's required for direct i/o to work correctly.
3) Since you're using CIO, it might be a good idea to set VMM to steal only file pages (lru_file_repage).
As for the large pages, you have quite a few options. Smaller large pages can be handled more dynamically, whereas bigger ones can provide more performance gains, but can also cause problems if you over-allocate. But, if you didn't need to use large pages on Windows, chances are that you might not necessarily need them on AIX either.
And as always, be careful with "best practices" and "rules of thumb"; it's far better to test different configurations thoroughly than to blindly rely on generic recommendations based on Codd knows what.

AIX 6.1 Auto Startup / Shutdown Oracle

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Oracle and AIX so bear with me, the newbie. I have a AIX 6.1 blade running Oracle 11g (11.1.0.6) and I'm trying to automate the database startup and shutdown procedure as outlined in the Admin Reference for Linux and Unix.
I have 7 databases running on this one machine. I have started on page 2-7, mofified the oratab file to include a Y at the end of each entry, then i have created the dbora file with the oracle_home and oracle=user parameters.
In trying to troubleshoot, I did noticed that there is a shutdown.log file in the ORACLE_HOME folder but no startup.log...
Any ideas on what / where to check?
Thanks

Probably this would help,

About Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway

Hi All,
I am very new at this topic, I want to know:
1)Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway same or not?Need license or not?
2)If want Creating Database Link from Oracle 11g to Sybase AS 15.5 Using Oracle Heterogeneous Services what drivers should I install from my pc(windows 7) and from my server(Linux red hat 5)?please give me link for this
3)Is there any link Step by step to configure odbc until creating dblink?
4)what more convenient, connect sybase from Oracle Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Gateway?
Thank you so much for your help
Regards
JOE

Joe,
let copy/paste your questions and comment inline:
1)Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway same or not?Need license or not?
Let me first clarify one thing, heterogeneous services is the generic mechanism in the Oracle database used by all gateways. The product you are talking about is the Database Gateway for ODBC or the Database Gateway for Sybase.
The Database Gateway for ODBC is available for Linux and Windows. It is the free product which does not require an Oracle license. The license is included in your database license. It is a generic gateway which allows you to connect with any suitable 3rd party ODBC driver to a matching foreign database. As it is a generic connectivity which aloows you to connect to real databases but also to MS Excel or even Text files as long as you have a suitable ODBC driver, its capability is very limited.
The more powerful gateway is the Database Gateway for Sybase. It covers the same functionality as DG4ODBC but it allows you also to work with distributed transactions, it allows you to call remote Sybase stored procedures etc. This gateway is design for Sybase ASE connections, so it is also able to map certain Oracle functions to Sybase equivalents. This Database Gateway for Sybase is NOT for free, it requires an additional license.
2)If want Creating Database Link from Oracle 11g to Sybase AS 15.5 Using Oracle Heterogeneous Services what drivers should I install from my pc(windows 7) and from my server(Linux red hat 5)?please give me link for this
That depends on your preferences. Both gateways are available for Linux and for Windows. When using DG4ODBC you only need to pay attention that you get a suitable 3rd party ODBC driver for this platform with the matching word size (64bit for 64bit DG4ODBC and 32bit ODBC driver for installations of DG4ODBC on 32bit platforms).
The latest software release is currently 11.2.0.3 and it can be downloaded (and installed from scratch) from "My Oracle Support". Just open the Patches & Updates section, look for Patch 10404530: 11.2.0.3.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER and make sure to choose the platform you want to use. Then check out the readme as it lists which of these download CD's contains the gateway software.
BTW, the CD contains DG4ODBC and DG4SYBS and it is up to you to decide during the installation which product you want to use.
3)Is there any link Step by step to configure odbc until creating dblink?
The ODBC driver installation differs from vendor to vendor and platform to platform - so we don't have a specific note how to configure the ODBC driver. This kind of question is better handled by the ODBC driver vendor.
Regarding the set up of DG4ODBC on Windows you find suitable information in the knowledge base on My Oracle Support. Just look for:
How to Configure DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on Windows 32bit to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install          [Document 466225.1]
and for DG4SYBS:
How to Configure DG4SYBS (Oracle Database Gateway for Sybase) on 64bit Unix (Linux, AIX, HP-UX Itanium and Solaris) Post Install          [Document 437696.1]
How to Setup DG4SYBS (Database Gateway for Sybase) on a 64bit Windows          [Document 1319852.1]
4)what more convenient, connect sybase from Oracle Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Gateway?
It really depends on your needs. DG4SYBS is surly easier to install as this gateway comes with everything you need and you do not have to find a suitable ODBC driver nor get the ODBC driver working. It is also more powerful as you can for example use triggers that replicate data changes in an Oracle database to the Sybase database within the same transaction. When you want to call Sybase stored procedures you can also do that with DG4SYBS. So it really depends on your needs.

Hardware / OS and Oracle upgrade

We are currently running AIX 4.2.1 with Oracle 7.3.4. We will be replacing our hardware which will have
AIX 5.1 and Oracle 8.1.7.2 installed. Our databases total approximately 60GB. What would be the best way
to migrate while having a minumum amount of downtime?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

hi there !
a challenging task indeed !
i guess the best way would be :
simply transfer the existing application (7.3.4) in new hardware & OS (5.1)
(i hope oracle 7.3 works on AIX 5.1)
and then migrate oracle 7.3 to 8.1.7
good luck

HACMP and Oracle Clusterware

Hi Guys , I need some technical guidance regarding HACMP and Oracle Clusterware. I am designing an Oracle maximum Availability architecture for a client on 4 Nodes of IBM 570 PSeries servers on Oracle 10G RAC. The configuration includes IBM HACMP and Oracle Clusterware. No I need do know if I can fully rely on Oracle Clusterware as my Clusterware or I can configure both IBM HACMP and Oracle Clusterware for some services. Can these two clusterware coexist ??

Yes they can co-exist. But my question is why complicate things. You cannot have a RAC cluster without the Oracle Clusterware. Meaning if you install HACMP you will have to install Oracle Clusterware also on top of this. Why complicate the stack... keep it simple.. we have been using Oracle clusteware on AIX without HACMP without any issues so far.
Also you should check www.oracleracsig.org website for some good leads into implementing RAC on AIX.

Select query differences between oracle 9 and oracle 8.

Hi,
I have a problem using the select query between oracle 7 and oracle 9i I don't have the same result :
ex:
With oracle7
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP 'CHAMP
champ1 champ2
With Oracle 9
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP1' 'CHAMP2'
champ1 champ2
So Can someone tell me how to solve this problem ? Is there a parameter in oracle 9 to set?
Thanx.

Whenever you are posting anything over internet forums like this - you should be very careful about not just posting the details which requires to solve the problem - also should be sensible about your question.
This is not at all desired when you are posting such question. It may be because - you may not well aware of the fact.
My suggestion is -> First Go through the basics Of SQL in general.
Then go for any specific product like Oracle/ SQL Server/ Sybase etc.
And, finally learn the advanced commands of that DB.
You asked it - may be you thought the difference in output in terms of lines. But, that is not your actual output. That is the graphical display part only.
Anyway,
You can get the quite familier output by first type the following command ->
set lin 310Regards.

Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory

Hello Gurus,
What is the relationship between Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory.
To my understanding, OID is required to install SSO.
If OID already exist, can we just install SSO and go on integrating it to existing OID.
Great Thanks,
vimal jain.

Hi Tim,
I've been working on this and could reproduce the issue with anonymous binds. A fix will be ready in 4.2.1.
So what I really need is the password used for login to pass to the is_member call.The P101_PASSWORD item does not save state. However, you can access the value during submit processing of the login page, for example in the post authentication function of your authentication scheme. People sometimes put code in there to query the user's groups (e.g. with apex_ldap.member_of2) and save them in an application. This item value can then be used in the authorization schemes.

Christian

Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
My configuration is:
Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
Formsbuilder 6
If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
With regards,

Limitation on SQL executing select statement from ADO and Oracle 8.1.7.1 OleDB Driver

Hi,
we are running a query with a big dunamic select statement from VB code using ADO command object. When Execute method is called system hangs and control won't return back to the application. it seems to be that there is some type limitation on Query string length. Please tell us if there is any?
we are running Oracle 8.1.7 Server on Windows 200 Server and connecting from a W2K professional, ADO 2.6 and Oracle OLEDB 8.1.7.1 OLEDB Driver.
Sample code:
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New Command
With cmd
.CommandText = ' some text with more than 2500 characters
.CommandType = adCmdText
Set rs = .Execute
End With
when i debug using VB6 and when .Execute line is called system hangs or return a message method <<somemethod> of <<some class name>> failed error.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anil

A stored procedure would only slow you down here if it was poorly written. I suspect you want to use the translate function. I'm cutting & pasting examples from the documentation-- a search at tahiti.oracle.com will give you all the info you'll need.
Examples
The following statement translates a license number. All letters 'ABC...Z' are translated to 'X' and all digits '012 . . . 9' are translated to '9':
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
'9999999999XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX') "License"
FROM DUAL;
License
9XXX999
The following statement returns a license number with the characters removed and the digits remaining:
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '0123456789')
"Translate example"
FROM DUAL;
Translate example
2229
Also, LIKE '%<string>%' is going to be rather expensive simply because it has to compare the entire string and because it forces full table scans, rather than using indexes. You could speed this sort of query up by using interMedia Text (Oracle Text now in 9i). If you can eliminate one of the '%' options, you could also improve things.
My guess is that your stored procedure is inefficient and that's causing the problem-- 5k rows per table should be pretty trivial.
If you post your query over on the PL/SQL forum, there are better performance tuners than I that might have more hints for you. To get really good advice, though, you'lllikely have to get at least the execution plan for this statement and may need to do some profiling to identify the problem areas.
