Alter database ... keep identity hangs

Does anyone know what could cause the "alter database recover to logical standby keep identity" statement to hang waiting on "MRP wait on archivelog arrival"? I have executed this exact statement in the past on another physical standby and it went through fine.
I ran "exec dbms_logstdby.build" on the primary db (Linux 11.1.0.7), did a couple of log switches and then canceled the recovery process on the physical standby and executed the alter database...keep identity statement but the alter statement hung indefinitely on the standby db. It was always waiting to receive the current log file from the primary db.
Thanks.

Ogan, thanks for your response.
All the archived logs appeared to have been applied so I'm not sure what "necessary archivelogs" are left to copy and apply. I could not find any archive gap. Any idea what may be the issue from the output (RAC primary -> physical standby) you requested? thanks.

Alter database recover to logical standby is hanging

Hi,
when I try to convert my physical standby to logical standby using
alter database recover to logical standby STANDBYL;
the command just hangs
I have seen the usual hit on this which is to create the Redo Dictionary on the Primary using
execute dbms_logstdby.build;
which I did but the alter database command still keeps hanging on my Standby
Any ideas,
thanks
Jim

Hello;
Does your Standby alert log have any lines like this:

If yes look for the message ( after this )

Is there any way to activate the keep identity setting when using a Transfer SQL Server Object Task?

Is there any way to add the "Keep Identity" option to the tables selected for transfer in a Transfer SQL Server Object Task? It seems that would be very useful, yet I can't find an easily available setting for it. I would prefer to
accomplish this within the Transfer SQL Server Object Task since it can copy any new fields added to the source tables, as opposed to having to rebuild a custom Data Flow Task any time a table structure is altered. I thought setting "CopyPrimaryKeys"
to True would do the trick, but I found that only ensures that the column settings are transferred; when the transfer happens, the destination id column is populated based on the specified seed and increment value, not what's actually in the source table.
I'd like to point out that replication isn't really an option here. This is a package that runs a few times a day to keep some data on our website up to date with data in our protected corporate environment.

IIRW there is FastLoadKeepIdentity specifies
whether to keep an identity in OLEDB destination

'alter database open resetlogs' didn't reset one of the datafiles

I've spent the last three and a half weeks recovering an oracle database (11g 64-bit linux) because of a corrupt block in an online redo log (which I thought was being written to multiple locations). I restored the files, moving some of them around in the process; recovered to the latest possible point; moved files back to their proper location; ran 'alter database open resetlogs'; and one of the datafiles (from a bigfile tablespace) didn't get reset. I checked afterward, and it was marked offline. I do not remember placing the file offline, and cannot find such a statement in my last 300 sqlplus commands, which includes commands well before I renamed this file and the commands surrounding the rename.
Restoring/recovering the database again will take too long, and is a remarkably poor option. Even if the database had opened correctly, the affected tablespace would not have been touched in the two or three minutes the database was open. Is there any way to force oracle to reset the logs again or otherwise fix this one file to mark it with the same date? Only allowing the resetlogs option after an incomplete recovery seems a poor restriction, especially, if files can slip through like this. I'm suspecting there is someway to just fix the checkpoint values for the tablespace, but I don't know where to begin. This particular file is <5% of the database, so if I have to do some sort of backup/restore with just it, that is probably doable.

4: Nothing in the tablespace has been touched since I ran 'alter database open resetlogs;'. It also appears that oracle placed the file offline (without me telling it to do so) and left it that way through the resetlogs, leaving the tablespace unusable during the time it was opened. The only things that would be out of date are the 'RESETLOGS_CHANGE#', the 'CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#', and associated values. It's still at the last scn before the resetlogs, and the system has been in archivelog mode the entire time. This is all information that Oracle could be tracking, and from a program logic standpoint there is no reason why Oracle cannot tie together the changes before the resetlogs, the resetlogs command and the changes after the resetlogs into a new, continuous string of changes. I assume there is some such feature in a high-caliber program because I'm actually a programmer (who would have included such advanced tracking features), and I've become a DBA out of necessity. I admit to not knowing all of the oracle DBA commands, hence me posting here before doing the work of submitting a request to metalink.
5: I consider it a poor restriction because it doesn't always reset the logs on all files, and as far as my knowledge goes it has rendered my 3.5 week recovery process WORTHLESS. I suppose it could cause numerous errors, especially if the database wasn't cleanly shut down, but having the ability to do something equivalent to datafiles that oracle skipped the process on seems quite useful in my situation. I guess the more fundamental problem to complain about is that it would apply such changes to only some of the files, while leaving others unusable, instead of just giving me an error that some files weren't going to be reset, but I think I'm done venting my Oracle frustrations for now.
Am I stuck with a tablespace that I cannot bring online with the database open, or is there some sort of 'alter database datafile' command (or anything else) that I know nothing of that will fix the straggling file?

Hi Ahmad, I have the same problem, I have a server windows server 2008 R2 standard. While
doing an Enterprise to Standard downgrade, I have removed enterprise edition of SQL Server 2008, rebooted and while installing standard edition, I get the below error saying "You SQL server 2008 installation completed with failures. Some or all identity
references could not be translated"
Bit of background. This server has another express instance of SQL Server 2008. I have
used local system account, network service as well as our general SQL service account, but I get the error towards the end of the installation and it fails saying “Some or all identity references could not be translated.”
I am installing a named instance with the same name as before but fails. I have tried
creating a new test instance that fails too. Any ideas? I have uninstalled SQL enterprise edition from
Add and Remore Programs/Programs and Features. I've also run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility but no joy.
Cheers

Alter database switch logfile

Hi friends,
Oracle DB 9i
I am making a standby database backup (hi-brid), and keep updating every hour on top of the hour sked it with the archive logs generated.
I am just confused a little. If I have 3 logfiles, and if I command "alter database switch log files", does the 3 logfiles
be converted to the backup archive logs ? or only one of them only, and I have to issue the command 3x so that I will be able to get all the latest transaction inside the 3 redo logfiles to be applied at the standby server.
Thanks a lot,
Ms Inday

When an online redo log fills, there is an automatic switch to the next group. As soon as the switch is complete, the archiver will start archiving the group that was just filled. Archiving does not wait until all redo groups are filled.

KEEP IDENTITY questions

Hi there,
I'm trying to figure out something about rolling upgrades with a transient logical standby that seems to escape me.
So, one of the first steps is to convert the standby database to a logical standby (with KEEP IDENTITY clause), startup for upgrade, and then run the catupgrd script. During this time the standby is not applying redo from the primary.
I understand that the KEEP IDENTITY clause causes the logical standby to retain the same DBID and name as the primary database.
Questions:
1. Why is KEEP IDENTITY required? For example, what would happen if the KEEP IDENTITY clause was not used during the upgrade, and the standby retained it's own identity?
2. Is KEEP IDENTITY a specific requirement for the upgrade process, or can this clause be used for other uses?
3. This question is not specifically related to "KEEP IDENTITY". So, how is it possible that you can run catupgrd to upgrade the standby database and THEN begin to receive redo from the primary? I know in a physical standby, the system would balk because of different system SCNs after the catupgrd prevent it from doing managed recovery. So does a logical standby ignore SCNs? (Sorry, I know physical standbys well, but not enough about logical standbys to answer this question myself)
Any answers would be appreciated...
Thanks.
Rob

(Sorry, I know physical standbys well, but not enough about logical standbys to answer this question myself)What is your version?
For db_name, specify a database name to identify the new logical standby database. If you are using a server parameter file (spfile) at the time you issue this statement, then the database will update the file with appropriate information about the new logical standby database. If you are not using an spfile, then the database issues a message reminding you to set the name of the DB_NAME parameter after shutting down the database.
a rolling upgrade from Oracle 11g Release 1 to Oracle 11g Release 2 using a Transient Logical Standby database. This approach will miminise the downtime required for an upgrade which can potentially run into several hours down to just the time required to perform a switchover which could be a few minutes in most cases.
A rolling upgrade using a Transient Logical Standby database at a very high level will involve three main stages or steps:
1) Temporarily convert a physical standby database to a logical standby database using the new KEEP IDENTITY clause
2) Perform a database upgrade of the logical standby database
3) Return the logical standby database back to its identity or original status as a physical standby database once the upgrade is completeHere some great links

Database gets into hanging position

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 10G R2 on windows.Size of all the dbf file gets increase suddenly due to insertion of huge data. But size on disk gets full and my database gets into hang position. So someone please suggest me the solution for this ? Or how can i compress the datafiles?

This problem seems to be a fuzzy assumption. Oracle must have returned an error for any problem. What is your db's role for you and how much is it important. If you are using this for development purpose the I would suggest you to recreate db with more manageable design/options. eg keep autoextend off and purge unusable data regularly.

Oracle hands for 12 min during "alter database open"

Dear all,
After a disk failure/replacement in a SAN disk array that we are using for storage, we had to restore our Oracle database. After the restore the database does not start properly: It takes around 12 min to move from the state "Mount" to the state "Open". It finally opens but even after this, when I start SAP, only 5 workprocesses connect and logging into SAP is not possible, the gui just hangs
There are no errors in the alert_RSP.log. I attach an extract here to show the time difference between the mount state and the open state

Alter java source compile hangs on cpu

When trying to compile java on the database, the session hangs, and is consuming massive CPU.
Statements executed:
create or replace java source named "hw" as
public class hw {public static String helloWho(String ename) {return "Hello "+ename;}}
alter java source "hw" compile
This worked before. Same problem occurs when using javaload. I tried this in a newly created schema aswell. Any ideas?
Db is a 11.2.0.1.0

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-16196: database has been previously opened and closed
If i have to shutdown the instance and database then
WHAT IS THE USE OF 'ALTER DATABASE CLOSE' ?
I need explanation. Why should i shutdown?
Dont give me this answer.
ORA-16196: database has been previously opened and closed
Cause: The instance has already opened and closed the database, which is allowed only once in its lifetime.
Action: Shut down the instance.

If you read the documentation you will see that there is no ALTER DATABASE CLOSE command.
This is an undocumented Oracle command, which we are not supposed to use. Consequently we are not allowed to complain about the way that it works. Instead we're supposed to use SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.
Cheers, APC

Alter database statement in anonymous pl/sql block

Is it possible to include an alter database statement in an anonymous pl/sql block?
When I execute this code to query user_tables for all table names, disable their constraints and drop the table, I got the following error:
***MY CODE

DECLARE
     v_TABLE_NAME TABLE_NAME.USER_TABLE%TYPE;

LOOP
FETCH c_GETTABLES into v_TABLE_NAME;
EXIT when c_GETTABLES%notfound;
ALTER TABLE v_TABLE_NAME DISABLE PRIMARY KEY CASCADE;
DROP TABLE v_TABLE_NAME;
END LOOP;
CLOSE c_GETTABLES;
END;
***RESPONSE FROM SERVER

When you want to perform ddl statements in a (anonymous) PL/SQL block, you have to use dynamic SQL because ddl is not possible in pl/sql.
Dynamic sql means that you sort of execute ddl statements in a sql manner. To use dynamic sql, two options exist:
- dbms_sql package : for oracle before 8i. To use this package is not always easy. Read about it carefully first before using.
- Native Dynamic SQL : implemented in 8i and very easy to use. An example would be :
declare
lv_statement varchar2(32676);
begin
lv_statement := 'ALTER TABLE MY_TABLE DISABLE CONSTRAINT MY_TABLE_CK1';
execute immediate lv_statement;
lv_statement := 'ALTER TABLE MY_TABLE ENABLE CONSTRAINT MY_TABLE_CK1';
execute immediate lv_statement;
end;
Good luck.
