Are those Oracle threads "user threads" or "kernel threads"?

Hi,
As you know Oracle's architecture under windows OS is different from Unix/Linux and there is only one process (oracle.exe) and DBWr,LGWr and other pieces of instance implemented by threads whitin that process.
I want to know if these threads are user mode threads or kernel mode threads?
-Thanks

OK you have said don't even think of updating these tables directly... May i know why are you saying that.Among other reasons, Oracle disallows updates to the data dictionary and you render your database unsupported as soon as you try. Plus, a lot of what needs to be updated are memory structures that Oracle happens to expose read-only views of. And the set of objects that are affected will potentially change across releases/ patches/ etc.
Beyond that, what possible reason could you have for wanting to update dozens of objects to add a user? The CREATE USER statement is a far better interface for your application.

What Are Those Oracle Processes Doing?

Hi,
I have a system using oracle as the database server.
Sometimes, the performance of my system would be very bad.
And when I check the CPU usage using the 'top' command,
it seemed that oracle process is taking up a lot of the resources.
Is there anyway for me to know what is oracle processing at that moment?
Thanks in advance.
Bye.

is it a generic oracle<instance> process that is running? Or does it have another name like ora_pmon_<instace> or ora_snpX_<instance>?
to find out you can take the Unix PID and figure out what session has spawned that process.
select usename,sid,serial# from v$session where paddr in (select addr from v$process where spid = 'UNIX PID HERE')
You can get more info from V$session than that if you like.

Are the listeners threads?

Hi,
excuse me for the simplicity of my question.
I have this code:
public class MyClass
private AClass a;
public void aMethod()
button1.addActionListener(new
ActionListener()
public actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
a.m1();
button2.addActionListener(new
ActionListener()
public actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
a.m2();
If I push in the same time the two buttons, are there two threads? If yes, the object "a" is common or there is a copy of it for every thread? If the object is common, can I use the synchronization to serialize the execution of the two methods?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Both actionPerformed methods run in the single AWT event dispatching
thread, so they never run simultaneously. That's the reason why the
code in those methods should be fast, because no other events can
be dispatched while your code is running.
kind regards,
Jos

Adding Oracle Application users to business area

Can someone tell me how can I add ALL Oracle Application Users to a Business Area in Oracle APPS R12
I am using an Application Mode EUL

There's lots of good info on this forum about this topic but in a nutshell ...
You could identify the user from within Discoverer and then filter on that but by far the easiest method is to use what Oracle BIS views use, NoetixViews views use, etc. and that's to put the code in a database view that filter the row information back depending on the responsibility running it.
The hardest thing to understand is that you code the SQL in the database view and then if you tried to look at the results with a tool like TOAD, you'll get no data. People think that it's not working because no data came back but really it's good as it's working, because if you then used that same view in Discoverer with the correct responsibility, you'd see the data.
So, exactly what you want is what happens in that the same report is run by 2 different responsibilities (Houston HR manager or New York HR manager) but the data returned will be only what they're allowed to see as defined by Oracle Apps.
Search on this forum for more - or to get a heads up, look at some of the Oracle BIS HR or GL views to see what I mean. If you haven't generated the BIS views then you can see 'ungenerated ones' as well in the Apps schema, views, and they'll follow a naming convention starting with: glfv_blah. You'll see glfv ..., glfb ..., glfg ....
The good ones are glfg ... as they've been generated but again, if you look at a glfv or hrfv look at the SQL at near the end see how they're determining the user, his org, etc.
Ths should keep you happily busy over Xmas!

Are WLE libraries thread safe?

Hi,
Can we implement multiple threads in c CORBA Servers. Are C libraries thread safe? Can i use pthread to create threads in WLE CORBA C servers
regards,
Manoj PG

JSPs/Servlets are not threadsafe in that one instance of the class is created to handle all requests.
But only your class attributes are not thread-safe. Local variables are stored for each invocation of the service method, and are thread safe.
Basically you have to declare all your variables inside a method, and if you call any java methods, pass parameters.
<%!
int myNumber; // class attribute - shared among all calls to this servlet
%>
<%
int myLocalNumber; // local variable to method. will be threadsafe
%>In short, yes this code is threadsafe. The key will be the same when you get back from doing your "stuff".
The only problem would be if two people hit it fast enough to get the same time, and thus the same key.

How To Handle Tickets and What are those

Hi Everybody,
Can anybody tell me, How to handle tickets and what are those.
srinivas

Hi,
Tickets are basically assocaited with Production support type of work.
Tickets are nothing but the medium through which problems reported either in the system or by users to the Production support team.
There are certain problem management tools that every organization uses (tickets are created and worked on using those tools). There are tools like Vantive, Remedy, CASE, etc.
Usually the helpdesk gets the first contact for any user problems and then they log a ticket with the appropriate support teams. The support teams then pick up those tickets and work on them till they are resolved. There are tickets created for user problems or any batch job failures, system failures, etc.
Tickets are usually classified as Critical, High or Low and again they are categorized as High Severity, Medium Severity or Low Severity. All these types of tickets have SLAs (Service level agreements) for the Support teams to respond and the resolve the tickets in.
Look at the threads below for similar posts :

Reengineering Desktop Thick Workgroups into Web
Rich Enterprise Clients
Bryan Hall, Spatial Architect, L-3 Communications
Jeff Walawender, Senior Software Engineer, L-3 Communications
Cost cutting requires reengineering spatial solutions to directly address business requirements. But enterprise computing for spatial data has, with even "Web 2.0", required the user to lose the responsiveness and feedback that traditional desktop thick client GIS software has provided. We took a different approach in the re-engineering effort and concentrated on making it work as much like a traditional desktop thick client - while simplifying use, making editing more reliable, and actually speeding up rendering. All this, while only supporting one versioned Oracle Spatial database, and application tier for all users.

Are the oracle DBa's seeing an end to their career

It's been 2-3 years i am working as an oracle dba in a mid range shop and i was pretty happy with it. After having the satisfaction , I was always worried about the future of an oracle dba. I always heard sql server and db2 are much much better than oracle as they are less complex to administration and their cost is less. Though the oracle people would talk about performance and scalability but with the recent releases , those db have overcome those problems. The problems for oracle dba are coming from several ways:
1.Companies are shifting for sql server or db2 as for low cost and low required of man power.
2.Oracle itself becoming automated.
3. Company like IBM offering main frame solution with free db2 database for the entire data center.
4.With the concept of Cloud computing storage would be third party location , where few employee can take the responsibility.
And..many moreeee...
It gives me a COLD feelings what would i be doing in 3-5 years from now and how could a dba would evolve himself with the change??? I hope this time i am not right.. all the points that i showed is wrong...

This is a common trend and Oracle is leading flagship in it.
Ultimate goal, as I see, is to eliminate DBA, minimizing cost of ownership.
This will attract business to such products - self-managed software.
I do not see it to happen tomorrow, though. But it is going there.
Yeah, well 30 years ago the experts were predicting the end of the need for programmers (the old term for 'developers'). "End User Computing" would put the power in the hands of the business users and eliminate the entire IT department. No I'm not exaggerating. That was the prediction. And people like you were insisting it would come to pass.
You don't even have to go that far. Look at the predictions for the 'paperless office' . . .
Many here will argue with me, but look of the definition of DBA
http://sqldbpool.com/2008/12/22/dba-roles-and-responsibilities/

DBA Responsibilities
Installation, configuration and upgrading of Microsoft SQL Server/MySQL/Oracle server software and related products.
Evaluate MSSQL/MySQL/Oracle features and MSSQL/MySQL/Oracle related products.
Establish and maintain sound backup and recovery policies and procedures.
Take care of the Database design and implementation.

>
Well, that's ONE "definition" of a DBA. It's far from "the" definition.
I'll tell you what. I've actually sat on committees that drew up lists like that. I can tell you first hand that while a lot of things on the list may look legit, there is also a lot of pressure just to fill up the list with as many things as possible in order to justify head count to the bean counters. You could just as well add 'weekly cleaning of the left-hand smoke shifter.'
Then lets look at them one by one:
Installation, configuration and upgrading of Microsoft SQL Server/MySQL/Oracle server software and related products.How often Installation happens? Once for one new app. Usually app vendors have recommendations that DBA should follow. So, what is DBA's role here? Start installer and to follow.
Configuration and upgrading will be more and more automated.
Except the app vendor left out critical details they didn't think were critical because they don't understand the database. Or have bogus 'requirements' because they don't understand the database. Or their recommendations were based on how they did it in their pristine development lab and they never even knew about critical dependencies that might not exist outside of their lab.
Week before last I spent 50 hours working on installing a new database based on the app vendor's specifications ....
Evaluate MSSQL/MySQL/Oracle features and MSSQL/MySQL/Oracle related products.Again, how often? When new App is about to be created and designers need to choose which DB they will need.
And then they proceed to develop on rdbms-A using best practices they learned from rdbms-B -- which turn out to be worst practices on rdbms-A. And only when they go live do they discover that their design doesn't scale because they tried to re-invent (poorly) functionality built into the database.
Establish and maintain sound backup and recovery policies and procedures.Again, how often yo need to establish policies and procedures? Every time you put in a new app with a different SLA.
Backup itself is 100% automated already today. Only if you buy off on the lowest common denominator.
Recovery is close to 100%.Oh? Go spend some time in the RMAN forum ...
And even if it were close to 100%, 'close' only counts "when playing horseshoes or hand grenades."
Most of enterprise backup software support backup and recovery of major RDBMSs.
Just specify a date "from" and click Go.
A little bit complex with RMAN. You have to type(!) RESTORE DATABASE; RECOVER...
Until the cause of failure was something the automation didn't anticipate. Or you then discover that your 100% automated-out-of-the-box backup didn't work the way thought it did. Oh, it 'worked' all right. Just not the way you thought it did.
Take care of the Database design and implementation.Where? Only in development shops.
Depends on what you mean by 'database design and implementation'. And most companies have some sort of development, even if they don't recognize it or call it that.
Implement and maintain database security (create and maintain users and roles, assign privileges).Centralized enterprise security (Domain etc) are in use. Many apps have their security and use basic RDMS security to login App running user.
Until such time as "nothing changed" but "I can't connect to my database".
Database tuning and performance monitoring.Greatly automated. Ultimately will be 100% automated.
Until it's not. See my comment above about developers.
Application tuning and performance monitoring.There are enterprise solutions for monitoring. Also Oracle has Grid Control.
Application tuning can be done by app vendors.I've NEVER met an app vendor that knew **** about how their app impacted performance. 100% of them throw it back on the DBA. I had an app vendor tell me that Oracle was incapable of sustaining more than five concurrent connections.
DBA cannot tune App itself. It may only modify some things in DB that will perform better. And this will be automated.
No, because the database cannot anticipate what stupid things the vendor may do. And it can only work with what it is given.
Setup and maintain documentation and standards.How often?
As often as anything that is documented, changes. As often as it is discovered that something that should be documented, isnt'
Plan growth and changes (capacity planning).Well, DBA should do it. But, again, how often?Should be almost constantly. Given budget cycles, you can't wait until your disk is 98% full before asking to buy more.
>
Work as part of a team and provide 7×24 supports when required.Where such 7×24 support policy exists.Look at my comments above about how these lists get created in the first place.
I can tell you from experience that such 24x7 policies are more common than you seem to think. Just about any financial processing business, logistics and transportation business, telecom business ...
And what from above should be supported during a night by a human?
I see just a restore/recover DB, because a human should make a decision "From which Date".
Do general technical trouble shooting and give consultation to development teams.Yes, in Dev shops. Most of shops are not development shops, though may do custom and ad-hoc reporting and small app development. Do they need a dedicated DBA for this? I doubt. Either a developer will be (self)trained to do some DBA's tasks or DBA will become a SQL developer in that team.
Interface with MSSQL/MySQL/Oracle for technical support.Oh yeah... :)
ITIL Skill set requirement (Problem Management/Incident Management/Chain Sure, two days of training to know basics of ITIL to understand what manager of Helpdesk (Support and Incident Management Team) is talking about.
So, I see DBA should go in of 3 directions:
1. Very deep technical expert that can help in some rear and difficult cases. How many of them will be needed?
2. SQL/ETL/etc Developer. There is not much automation in software development yet.
3. DB Design and Architecture. How many of them will be needed? May be more that #1.You seem to think that automation will solve everything. Take that to it's logical conclusion and it will put all of IT out of work. See my comment above regarding "End User Computing'. What you forget is the human element. Not the human DBA trying to do things you think are or soon will be automated. No I'm talking about the humans that create the kinds of problems that automation is *always* trying to catch up with. Pointy Hair Bosses dreaming up new requirements. Bean counters refusing to by an additional 10 gb of disk. Developers that refuse to learn and/or follow best practice. Developers that can't think beyond clicking an icon to create a table. Developers that treat an rdbms as a data dump and try to use Java to re-invent every bit of functionality the db already provides. Systems administrators that delete all of your online redo logs because he needed disk space and 'log files are expendable'. End users that forget their password *EVERY F****** DAY!*
No, I don't spend my time managing extent distribution like I had to do with 8i. Yes, a lot of things I had to do manually in 8i are now successfully automated to the point I don't have to do them .. or have simply been engineered out of the system. But no amount of automation will overcome the ways humans (Executives, managers, supervisors, other IT team members, and users) figure out how to bring a system to its knees.
This whole discussion reminds me of Dippin' Dots. "The Ice Cream of the Future". Well, it's been "The Ice Cream of the Future" for almost 30 years ....

Required Oracle FND tables for Discoverer Install (Oracle App user)

Hi does anyone know of set documentation or, via SQL Trace, which existing tables Discoverer looks for when setting up an EUL? For instance, our install requires you select the Oracle Apps User Schema and put in the password for that schema where your FND tables reside.
Assuming some are missing in our current setup, what would be required in order for Discoverer to work in conjunction with the Oracle applications roles and responsibilities, etc.
I found this list in Discoverer documentation and confirmed I know have that setup correctly with proper grants, etc.. The EUL is created but does return an error of "Table or View does not Exist" which can be passed over and you can proceed into the EUL - but there is an error upon logging into EUL.
grant select on FND_USER to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_APPLICATION to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_USER_RESPONSIBILITY to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_ORACLE_USERID to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_DATA_GROUP_UNITS to &EULOWNER
This is Discoverer 10g and Oracle 10g database.
Thanks,

I have confirmed that the Discoverer Administrator Responsibility has Administration, Desktop & Plus privelages.
Furthermore, the account I am trying to login as - DSCADMIN has those permissions and is assigned that responsibility as well.
It should be noted that when logging into the EUL as the DSCADMIN account, it prompts me to create a new EUL as one does not exist....however under the EUL ADMIN account (where the EUL was created), it recognizes the EUL since it is the owner.
Am I missing something further - I've been through the documentation several times and can't figure this out - I have continually made progress but then hit a speed bump each time.
It should also be noted that DSCADMIN is a database user schema account and also an Apps user as well - but this is how it was setup in our old enviornment so I wouldn't think this would make a difference.
