Are there performancebenefits to reorganizing database-using export/import?

I have a production database using Oracle 9.2.0.5, which has been running for last 3 years since it was upgraded from 8.1.7. At that time we had done full export of 8.1.7 database and then created 9.2. instance and then imported all the application schemas.
Load on our database has been increasing and there are constant pressures from management to improve performance. We have looked at indexes many times, have lots of memory for SGA and have tuned various init.ora parameters. Being a third party packages, we cannot rewrite queries.
Application is a mix of OLTP and reporting, it is definitely more read than write.
Are there any benefits to reorganize database using export/import, i.e., we will do a full export of existing database and then delete all objects from application schemas and do schema imports. We will run the dbms_Stats again to recomputed statistics. Of course, we will test all of that in a test environment before making change sin production.
I have heard different views on reorganization. Some people say it is useless, some people say it can improve performance since data will be placed homely in fewer blocks.
Appreciate your feedback.

Hi,
Oracle gave us reorg utilities (dbms_redefinition) because Oracle does not do real-time reorganization for performamnce reasons.
In some applications, reorgs are critical to high-performance, while in others, it may make no difference.
Remember, a reorg simply puts the indexes and tables into their "optimal" pristine state.
The most striking benefit of table reorgs is when a "sparse" table experiences lots of full scans. After the reorg, response time can be cut in half.
Also, in cases where related rows are queried together, a reorg with row-resequencing (like 10g sorted hash clusters) make a bif difference:

But like I said, it depends on many factors . . .
Hope this helps . . .

Need help with database migration using export/import

Hi,
I am planning to do a database migration from 8.0.6 to 10.2.0.4. I am using export/import. Please answer some of my queries:
1) Do i need to do full export using SYS/SYSTEM user.
exp80 system/manager file=c:full.dmp log=c:\full.txt full=y consistent=y
2) Will there be any data corruption while export.
3) Is export/import the only method of migration/upgradation.
Please help
Thanks.

I'll answer the specifics that I know about your questions, but please look at the post from Srini for additional info:
1) Do i need to do full export using SYS/SYSTEM user.
exp80 system/manager file=c:full.dmp log=c:\full.txt full=y consistent=yA full export will move as much information (metadata/data) as possible. In order to do a full export/import, you need to do this from a
privileged account. A privileged account is one with EXP_FULL_DATABASE for export and IMP_FULL_DATABASE for import.
2) Will there be any data corruption while export.The data in the objects that you are exporting is being read, nothing is written to user data. I'm not sure what this is available in 8.0.6,
but if you need a consistent export, look to see if consistent=y is available in 8.0.6. All this means is that the dump file created will have
consistent data in it.
3) Is export/import the only method of migration/upgradation.If you are changing hardware, the only supported way from 8.0 to 10.2.0.4, that I know of, is using exp/imp.
Hope this helps.

Are there any libraries can be used to generate Type 1 font postscript file

I am trying to create a Type 1 font postscript file. But I found it is hard to find the library to generate the Type 1 font postscript file. I just found a library named iText which can create the Type 1 font PDF file.
Are there any libraries can be used to generate Type 1 font postscript file?
Thanks!

I don't see much benefit with the current ODI adaptors for planning if it is an EPMA type planning application.
They have been specifically designed to work with classic planning applications.
It certainly is possible to load into EPMA interface tables using ODI though there are no direct adaptors and it takes quite a bit of effect to get them into the correct format.

Are there pros and cons to using TFS as compared to Sharepoint?

are there pros and cons to using TFS as compared to Sharepoint?

TFS and SharePoint are two different products with overlapping functionality.
If you are planning to use TFS for Application Lifecylce management, then I would not suggest SharePoint replacing TFS.

ITunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow.

iTunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow. I am using Windows 7.
I only use it once every few weeks and each time it is more disappointing than the previous time. does it run better on a Mac than Windows? Is this app really the future of media? Really?

I am using iTunes 11.1.3 -- The most recent version. When I select something from my albums it just freezes. I have restarted it a few times with same result.

Homogeneous system copy using export/import on WIn/Ora

Dear experts,
i need to know the homogeneous system copy procedure using export/import method for following scenario as we are in the process of Data center migration of SAP systemsfrom location to another location.
Source system:
ECC6/BI7/APO(ABAP stack)
OS:WIndows 2003
D:B:Oracle 10g
Target System: New hardware installed on Virtual environment(VMware)
No change of SID
ECC6/BI//APO
OS:WINDOWS2008
D:B: Oracle 11g
It would be great if anyone can share the documentu2019s/links (Not SAP homogeneous system copy guide) which you have prepared for the homog. system copy using export/import on Windows/oracle as i have done the system copy using backup/restore for ABAP stack and export/import for Java stack so far.
Therefore i am not sure about this procedure/prerequisites/checklist needs to prepare as i have gone through the SAP guide but it is not step by step document.
Cheers

There are two approacahes for your project
1) First wether to use Oracle11g on target database
2) Continue with Database Oracle 10.2 on traget database
If you want to use Oracle11.2 on your target database you have to search the installers which are supported for 11.2 database. If the installers are available then only you can install your target database using Oracle11.2.Other wise t use Oracle10.2.0.4 is supported on Win2008r2. You can use this version of Oracle database to build ur target database.It works fine . Absolutely no problem.
Later on you can upgrade the Oracle10.2 to 11.2 Onwards.
If installers are avialble you can use Oracle11.2 also. There is absolutely no problem.
As per my knowledge installers are available and supported with Oracle11.2.Also check the PAM before arriving on any deciscion.

Using export/import to migrate data from 8i to 9i

We are trying to migrate all data from 8i database to 9i database. We plan to migrate the data using export/import utility so that we can have the current 8i database intact. And also the 8i and 9i database will reside on the same machine. Our 8i database size is around 300GB.
We plan to follow below steps :
Export data from 8i
Install 9i
Create tablespaces
Create schema and tables
create user (user used for exporting data)
Import data in 9i
Please let me know if below par file is correct for the export :
BUFFER=560000
COMPRESS=y
CONSISTENT=y
CONSTRAINTS=y
DIRECT=y
FEEDBACK=1000
FILE=dat1.dmp, dat2.dmp, dat3.dmp (more filenames here)
FILESIZE=2048GB
FULL=y
GRANTS=y
INDEXES=y
LOG=export.log
OBJECT_CONSISTENT=y
PARFILE=exp.par
ROWS=y
STATISTICS=ESTIMATE
TRIGGERS=y
TTS_FULL_CHECK=TRUE
Thanks,
Vinod Bhansali

I recommend you to change some parameters and remove
others:
BUFFER=560000
COMPRESS=y -- This will increase better storage
structure ( It is good )
CONSISTENT=y
CONSTRAINTS=y
DIRECT=n -- if you set that parameter in yes you
can have problems with some objects
FEEDBACK=1000
FILE=dat1.dmp, dat2.dmp, dat3.dmp (more filenames here)
FILESIZE=2048GB
FULL=y
GRANTS=y -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
INDEXES=y
LOG=export.log
OBJECT_CONSISTENT=y -- ( start the database in restrict
mode and do not set this param )
PARFILE=exp.par
ROWS=y
STATISTICS=ESTIMATE -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
TRIGGERS=y -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
TTS_FULL_CHECK=TRUE
you can see what parameters are not needed if you apply
this command:
[oracle@ozawa oracle]$ exp help=y

You can let Export prompt you for parameters by entering the EXP
command followed by your username/password:
Example: EXP SCOTT/TIGER
Or, you can control how Export runs by entering the EXP command followed
by various arguments. To specify parameters, you use keywords:

Offline Instantiation of a Materialized View Site Using Export/Import

Has anyone had any success performing offline instantiation of a materialized view site using export/import in Oracle9?

This is what I wanted to ask in the forum. I want to use datapump for the initial instantiation because I believe that indexes (the actual indextables, not just the definition) are also replicated using datapump.
So, is it possible to do the instantiation using datapump?

Thanks for the help!
Tony

Thank you,
Yes we've done that. They've confirmed a problem with the links/scripts on the note. The 10.1 and up version was not really 10.1 and up.
As they would not have a new version available in time for the move we needed to perform, we switched our approach to using dbms_redefinition instead.
Thanks for the reply,
Tony

Choose a database among various databases for export/import using.

Hello,
I am using forms 6i and I want to export several databases using
forms.
With regards to that what is the technique/code I could use to select
the database of my choice for export.
How could we get the name/services of a particular database among
various databases using Forms 6i.
Could some one give me the idea/code to get the above requirement?
Thanks
Amit

Why would you want to use Forms (a client tool) to import or export a database? Imp and exp are command line tools meant to be run on the database server.
You will probably be hitting other problems, like different database versions. For every database version you need the correct imp and exp.
If you really want to use Forms, than just make a table that hold the names of the databases.

Are there any known issues when using PSE 13 after installing Apple's recent 10.10.3 Combo update for Yosemite?

I've had Yosemite for some time and bought/installed PSE 13 afterwards.
In the last few days I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3.
As a PSE 13 novice I've been working my way through "Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 - Classroom in a Book". Working through the exercises I've found my iMac is sometimes taking longer to process the functions I'm using than prior ro the 10.10.3 upgrade. E.g., using the Healing Brush tools, Straighten Tool etc.
I've struggled with Apple's upgrade and had to re-install my machine from a previous Time Machine Backup and so I was wondering:-
Are there any known issues with PSE 13 post 10.10.3 upgrade?
Are there things I should be concerned about in the future before accepting an OS X upgrade?
Thanks,
Andy

No, no known issues. However it's a good idea to always delete preferences after OS X system updates.

Are there longer music clips to use in iMovie you can find online? How to loop current audio?

I have a video that almost 50 seconds long and I can't figure out how to make the clip I am currently using to loop without coming to a full stop in the middle of the video and then start over again about about 5 or 6 sec of silence. Are there websites I can find music clips to use in iMovie that are longer than the ones that come with the application on my iMac? Or how can I make the audio that I am already using loop continously until the end of the video?
Thanks!

If no one answers soon you could try over in the iMovie forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie.

Though you have got links already for using the exp/imp , I would strongly suggest that when you mention backup/recovery, RMAN is the tool that you should be using. Exp/imp is/was never considered as a backup tool. You should read this paper to get the answer of "why rman" ?
