APEX DBA role to monitor the database, is there a workaround?

I have a developer who wishes to access the database monitor for performance monitoring, but I do not wish to give him DBA privileges. Is apex looking for the DBA role explicitly?

I am trying to avoid having to perform a daily manual process (I monitor about a dozen email accounts - not all of them from ISP's with the 60 day deletion window). The ISP's 60 day deletion window is rolling - each day different existing messages are about to reach the threshold. I don't want to mark messages as Read for all messages, just those that are about to be 60 days old. I know that I can do this by creating a smart mailbox that only has messages that are 59 days old, select all of the smart mailbox messages and then right-click and "Mark as Read", but this would have to be a daily, manual process.

How to monitor the database growth?

Dear All,
How to monitor the database growth in SAP.
Is there any t.code available to check the same.
advance thanks,

Note: suitable answers will get maximum reward points.

Hai,
You can check the database growth using tcode -db02.
and also use tcode-db02old(if the SAP is Netweaver2004s version) and click on space statistics for monitoring the datbase growth,

How to find the user - role assignments in the database for EP6 SP9?

L.S.,
We have a quite specific requirement: to see which users have access to our portal environment (EP6 SP9). It does not immediately matter (though would probably still be nice to know if possible) which roles users have exactly.
I've been looking in the database to find user-to-role assignments there, but I'm unable to find any. The closest I got is the PID filed in the UME_STRINGS table, but users remain listed there even when all their portal roles are revoked afterwards. Any ideas?
Kind Regards,
Steven Dijkman

hi Steven,
     Sorry but you will have to write some code. the following lines of code will work for you.
IRoleSearchFilter rolefilter = UMFactory.getRoleFactory().getRoleSearchFilter();
          ISearchResult result = UMFactory.getRoleFactory().searchRoles(rolefilter);
          while (result.hasNext()) {
               String rolestr = (String) result.next();
               IRole r = UMFactory.getRoleFactory().getRole(rolestr);
               response.write(r.getDisplayName());
               response.write("<br>");
               Iterator users = r.getMembers(true);
               while (users.hasNext()){
                    String userstr = (String)users.next();
                    IUser user = UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUser(userstr);
                    response.write(user.getDisplayName());

Monitoring the Database -Oracle

Hi,
I am not a Database guy at all..but I need to ;
1. Create a user on SAP to monitor the oracle DB
So Do I create the user on 000 client or..where ?
2. What are the noramal, minimal authrorizations thats needed in this regard ?
Thanks

Hello George,
As Markus suggested, you should check the monitoring link first.
If you would like to get into the act as early as possible you can jump to this :
To start the monitor you choose Administration ® CCMS ® Control/Monitoring ®Performance Menu ® Database ® Activity.
Alternatively, you can use transaction st04n.
You can check this in detail at :

Printing TIFF files hangs the system, is there a workaround?

When printing large tiff files (e.g., exported layout images from CAD) the system becomes unresponsive and it takes time to print. Even after the image is printed, the system works very slowly.
It seems to be a bug, or is there any workaround to prevent the system to hang?
Thank you, Jan

There are two similar bugs:
The LPC+crop bug started with ACR 6.1 and was fixed in 8.2.
The LPC mystery bug started with ACR 7.3 and was fixed in 8.6.
Both bugs cause repeated thumbnail extractions in Bridge on some images with Lens Profile Corrections enabled.
As you are on ACR 6.7 it can only be the first bug. The only workaround I know is to ensure that the crop does not touch the edge of the corrected image. A few pixels gap will do it. Also, it helps to keep less images in a folder--but this can't be avoided when using Collections or Finds.
I'd imagine that Adobe won't fix CS5 just for this. Presumably there's something in the smallprint which admonishes them from responsibility after the shelf life of the product ends. To be fair, it's not like they fixed it straight away in CS6, unlike the Bridge CS5 database bug (thanks, Adobe). They were only able to reproduce the fault in summer 2013.

it would be better to direct that question to Gary Loftis, since my MacBook Pro doesn’t have a Thunderbolt port.

Oracle apex outside the database

What risks or impacts do you think if I plan to implement APEX outside the production database. Basically having a separate database all together and apex running into that seperate database. But a lot of source data is in the production database. So looking into this situation, what are the risks and concerns you might think of?
My team is not comfortable implementing apex inside the production database.

Hi
>
they never install anything on production databases, apex installs a lot of its own objects and they want to keep production bare bones.
>
I can see no real justoification to back this up. Ideally APEX should be running within the database where the data that it is accessing it resides. The objects that APEX creates are contained within its own schema and it doesn't take up much space at all.
By separating the APEX install to a different database, you create a whole new level of configuration headaches and things to go wrong.
>
my concern is about vendor level support and other issues
>
APEX is free as long as the database is sufficiently licensed - you don't need anything additional to have APEX running on a correctly licensed Oracle database.
It appears that 'they' have decided on a blanket rule through fear of breaking something (probably due to something having gone wrong once in the past). This is not the correct way to work. If they took the time to understand the technology that they are administering, they would see that an APEX installation should have pretty much zero impact on the production database.
We successfully run 3 APEX instances on the three production systems, each where the relevant data resides - 2 OLTP databases and a Data Warehouse.
Again, if they can come up with something specific rather than a sweeping statement and a suggestion to do it another way (using db links) with no reasoning or justification - it would be easier to allay their fears.
Cheers

How and when the database release a row lock?

Dear experts,
We are using the following statement to obtain a row lock in a table in the database(ORACLE of course),
SELECT * FROM {TABLE_NAME} WHERE ID = 1 for update
and if we succeed grabbing the row lock we will continue to issue a update statement every 30 seconds to preserve the lock as far as possible.
here is the update statement to preserve the lock,
UPDATE {TABLE_NAME} SET time = ? WHERE ID = 1.
As you see more longer we keep holding the row lock , more update statements are submitted in the pending transaction.
In normal case our application can grab the exclusive row lock and works for a long time,however sometimes a connection reset exception is thrown
and our application will close the connection(I assume the pending transaction will be rolled back by the database) and exit the JVM.
Since other applications will keep trying to grab the same row lock to become the master role,
we expect one of them can succeed but they are all failed because the database has not released the row lock as expected.
Can someone explain more details about how and when the row lock can get released in our use case?
Thanks,
SuoNayi

Hm. Is this part of an XA transaction by any chance? I know that Oracle maintains separate bookkeeping for such transactions which can cause rows to stay 'locked' even when the regular DBA views will indicate there is no user currently locking the record at all. I have no idea about the actual details and what you need to do to clean up such a situation, that is something a DBA should know and do.
If not... well this is more of a question for people who know the DBMS, which makes it a target for the Oracle DBMS forums. Java developers don't tend to have DBA-level knowledge of the database, you should ask the question where you have more chance of people with expertise answering stuff:

Accessing a user email address from the database

Hi,
I really need help with the following.
I am adding functionality where users can set reminders that will then be sent to them by email when the reminder is due. I am going to utilise dbms_job to do this. My problem is that I am using apex authentication and users for the rest of the application and I need to retrieve the email address from apex. I cannot use wwv_flow_users as the email will be sent from a job in the database therefore there will be no current logged in user / workspace / session.
There must be some way of accessing an internal apex table / view or something that can tell me what the email addresses of my users are without being signed into an apex session.
Please help, this is quite urgent.
Thank you in advance.
Lee

Hi,
Glad to see that you've found.
However would be very interesting to know how to retrieve user list without being in an Apex workspace.
i would do as follows:
When the first user of the day log into apex you could update a static table containig the email (taken select into from www_flow_user once a day).
Then via a trigger you could start your batch proc, that needs updated email.
Is not clean at all, but probably if your firm isn't too big this approach could work.
By the way if you find how to retrieve the email not using www_flow_user, would be very nice to know.

Is the APEX 2.2 hosted on the oracle site only for windows machine

Hi,
Is the APEX 2.2 hosted on the oracle website only for the windows machine.
Can I download the APEX 2.2 s/w for a linux box as well. Kindly let me know
if a linux version is available anywhere else.
Thanks.

Hello,
ApEx is running inside the database, so there is only one version of it, which can be downloaded here - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/download.html
The database itself can be run on Linux. You can see all the available versions in here - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html

Heavy computations in the database.

Is it wise to place heavy computations in the database?
Lets say you have to create en app that needs to compute a heavy matimathical problem.
In Apex every code is run within the oracle database. What are the resources used for this computation?
In java programming the database is only used for extraction of code. that is what I see in other departments. so I asume that the computers resources (where the java app is installed) are used for computations.
So for heavy computations, is apex still a good option?
Raoul

Hi Raoul,
it depends what you mean by heavy computations.
As you say, Apex code is run within the database, most of this is PL/SQL which executes within the resources of the database server. eg memory, processor, IO etc. PL/SQL is a mature programming language which can be stored in a compiled state, giving it a performance factor approaching compiled languages such as C. While it may be true that you can get better performance from well written compiled code such as C, the overhead of first fetching the data to execute the computations on in the first place often means PL/SQL has an advantage. In other words, the closer the computations are to the data, the better.
I'm not sure what you mean by "In java programming the database is only used for extraction of code". The database is used for storage and retrieval of data. Java is used as a general programming language that has the advantage of running in a wide variety of environments. The overhead it pays for this is that it is not really a compiled language and therefore performs accordingly. As a result it is a good language for the presentation layer, where it may need to run on a wide variety of clients, but you wouldn't use it as general processing language.
If you're requirement is to perform heavy mathematical computations and you are using a database to store the raw data for those computations then I think you will find the database and internal languages such as SQL and PLSQL will perform about as well as any other general language environment and certainly much better than Java.

Secure Store Service Application takes a lot of time and does not create the database

Hi everybody,
I was trying to configure sharepoint performance point and I was following the instruction. After I created the performance point services application I tried to creat the secure store service application. When I do this, the progress window stays open forever
even after 2 hours. If I close the window, I will see that the secure store service and proxy app is created and the application pool also is created in IIS but the database is not and the application service is stopped. even when I want to delete it, it's
the same story and the progress window stays until I close it manually. Nothing has been logged in the event viewer because it doesn't throw any exceptions.
I don't think that I have permission issues on the database server side because I have created the performance point service app and the database is there. I have used the same credentials to crete the secure store.
I have restarted the secure store service and IIS for many times and even the server itself.
I'm wondering if anybody has had this issue because I couldn't find anything on the web.
Thanks,
Edwin

Testing while doing the database upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 11.2.0.2 apps ?

Dear Experts,
Please note that we are in process of doing database upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 11.2.0.2 ?
We have gone through the interoperablity note id for 11i 11gr2 ?
Step 1
upgrading the database from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8 ?
Step 2-
Upgrading the Forms patchset to 19 ?
Step-3
Applying the Rollup-6 patch ?
Step -4
Upgrading the database from 9.2.0.8 to 11.2.0.2 ?
We would like to know whether after each step do we have to do any kind of testing on the Oracle Application Instance and the database?
Please advise.
Regards
Mohammed.

We would like to know whether after each step do we have to do any kind of testing on the Oracle Application Instance and the database?There is no such a list. However, you can refer to the documents referenced in each task above and it should cover if any testing need to be done or not (for example, the Developer Patchset doc). For the rest of the docs you will have to do your regular testing (test the application/database and make sure it is working properly).
Also, make sure you review (Known issues on Top of 11i.ATG_PF.H. delta.6 (RUP6) - 5903765 [ID 459353.1]).
