Best practices to generate archivelog

Hi,
What are the best practices to generate archivelog?
Regards,
RJiv.

Are you using DataGuard to create & manage the physical standby? If so, what DataGuard protection mode are you using?
Realistically, there is no ideal frequency at which to generate new archived logs. The faster you generate them, the greater the performance implications, but the less data is potentially at risk. You need to weight the performance costs and recoverability benefits for your particular application to determine what sort of a target to set. That probably requires doing some benchmarking to quantify the performance costs for your particular application.
If the goal is minimal data loss, however, running DataGuard in a mode that transfers redo in real time rather than copying archived log files would be preferable and render the discussion on how frequently to generate archived log files moot.

Best Practice to generate UUIDs in a Cluster-Server Environment

Hi all,
I just need some inputs over the best practices to generate UUIDs in typical internet world where there are multiple servers/JVMs involved for load balancing or traffic distribution etc. I know JAVA is shipped with very efficient UUID generator API.
But still that doesn't solve the issue in multiple server environment.
For the discussion sake lets assume I need it to be unique over the setup than a near unique.
How do you guys approach it?
Thanks you all in advance.

Thanks jverd,
So adding to the theory of "distinguishing all possible servers" in addition to UUID over each server would be the way to go.If you're unreasonably paranoid, sure.I think its a common problem and there is a big number of folks who might still be bugged about the "relative uniqueness" of UUID in long run. People who don't understand probability and scale, sure.
Again coming back to my original problem in an "internet world", shouldn't the requirement like unique id between different servers be dealt with generating the UUID's at a layer before entering into the multi-server setup. Where would that be? I don't have the answer..Again, that is the POINT of the UUID class--so that you can generate as many IDs as you want and still be confident that nobody anywhere is in the world has ever generated any of those same IDs. However, if your requirements say UUID is not good enough, then you need to define what is, and that means having a lot of foresight as to how this system will evolve and how long it will live, AND having total control over some aspect of your servers, AND having a process that is so good that it's LESS LIKELY for a human to screw up and re-use a "unique" server ID than the probabilities I presented in my previous post.

EDI - 753Routing Request and 754 Routing Instructions transactions- what SAP ECC6 EDI output type, msg type, msg code, basis idoc is best practice to generate the idoc?

One of our Trading Partner wishes to implement the 753 Routing Request and 754 Routing Instructions. Can anyone give me best practice answer the following Questions? We are on SAP ECC6 R3
What Application? i.e. V2, V7?
What output condition to use? i..e. LALE, LAT2, SEDI????
What Message type? i.e SHPADV?
What Basic Idoc Type? i.e SHPMNT05?
What Message Code? i.e. SHPM?
What Process Code? i.e. SHPM??
What Function Module? i.e. IDOC_OUTPUT_SHPMNT??
Does the SAP Transpotation Module have to be configured for this to be implemented?
Your comments are greatly appreciated, we have until Nov 1 to be compliant?

Good Morning,
While I did not get any responses from my question, yes, I was able to determine what needed to be configured. I hope the below will help you: This is for SAP ECC6
The output application for the 753 Routing Request is "V7"
The output type is "SEDI"
Transmission medium is "6"
The Basic Idoc type is "Shipmnt05"
when setting up your Partner Profile (WE20) add:Message Partner Role "SP" with Message type "SHPADV', Message coed "753", Basic Type "SHPMNT05", Message Control add Application "V7", Message type "SEDI", Process Code "SHPM".
also http://scn.sap.com/thread/698368 pages 14 and 15 were helpful.
I have not configured the Inbound 754. For now the inbound 754 Routing Instructions will be emailed to our traffic department.
Thank you,
Have a great day,
jane

What are the best practices for generating an EPS logo from InDesign?

Our costomer is running into technical issues with the logo we sent them, which was exported from Indesign. Images were not embedded and fonts missing. I was able to embed the images and fonts. However, we DO NOT want them to be able to make any text changes. So after exporting an eps, I opened the file in Adobe Illustrator and made all the text outlines. I hope this works. But I just wanted to post the question on what are the best practices for doing this?
The client needs the logo with transparent background, images emebdded and type in outlines. Also, they need some space around the text. When I exported the eps, the file is right up on the edge of the type.

It sounds like you are pretty far from "best practice" with regard to logo design and delivery.
These days, the very use of the EPS format should be considered bad practice, and some other terms in your post, (i.e., 'images,' 'missing fonts'), make it sound like there is not a seasoned logo designer involved.
That said, you probably already got the advice you need to get out of the immediate jam. However, without proper logo design, you and the client will soon be facing other problems. You should be delivering a 100% vector graphic in single-color (black) and corporate-color(s) versions, with no live font data, that has been test-scaled to very small and very large sizes; ensuring it will work at postage-stamp size and on the side of a truck or building, with specific spot color(s) and proportions that will enable it to be offset printed, embroidered and screen-printed on apparel, and cut into signage materials and decals.

Oracle Best Practices for generating Transactions IDs in high OLTP systems

We are in the process of designing a high OLTP system using Oracle 11g Database with the following NFRs:
1) 1 million transactions per day
2) 100,000 concurrent users
There are close to about 160-180 entities in the database and we want to know the best approach/practice in deriving the transaction IDs for the OLTP system. Our preferences are given below:
1) Use Oracle Sequence starting with 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) - This is to make the TXN ID look meaningful when it starts with 1 billion instead of starting it with 1.
2) Use timestamp and cast it to number instead of using Oracle sequence.
Note: Transaction IDs must appear in sequence as they are inserted - be it sequence/timestamp
I would like to know pros/cons of the above methods and their impacts on performance. Also, appreciate if you could share any any best practices/methods that Oracle supports.
Thanks in advance.

I did a quick PoC using both Oracle Sequence & Timestamp for 1 million inserts in a Non-RAC environment. Code used is given below:

Here are the results:

select max(txndate)-min(txndate) from test2;
Result >> 0 0:1:32.386923000
It appears that Timestamp is faster than sequence... Any thought is highly appreciated...Interesting that your sequence timing is so slow. You say this was a non-RAC environment, but I wonder if you had Oracle linked in RAC mode even though you were running single instance - this would result in the ORDERed sequence running through RAC's "DFS Lock Handle" mechanism which might account for the timing anomaly.
Unfortunately your test is not particularly relevant. As DomBrooks points out there are lots of problems with sequence-based or time-based columns, especially in RAC, and most particularly if you think you want a "no-gap" sequence. On top of this, of course, your test doesn't include an index on the relevant column, and it's single user and doesn't test for any concurrency effects.
Typical performance problems are: your RAC instances spend all their time negotiating who gets to use the next value; the index you use to enforce uniqueness suffers from massive contention on the "high-value" block unless you create a reverse-key index - at which point you have to be able to cache the entire index to minimise I/O overheads; you can hash partition the index to avoid using the reverse-key option - but that costs a lot of money if you don't already license the partitioning option.

Best Practices:: How to generate XML file from a ResultSet

Hi all,
Could someone please suggest the best practices of how to generate an XML file from a resultset? I am developing a web application in Java with Oracle database and one of my tasks is to generate an XML file when the user, for example, click a "download as XML" button on the JSP. The application is basically like an Order with line items. I am using Struts and my first thought has been to have an action class which will extend struts's DownloadAction and through StAX's Iterator API to create an XML file. I intend to have a POJO which will have properties of all columns of my order and line items tables so that for each order I get all line items and:
1. Write order details then
2. Through an iterator write line items of that order to an XML file.
I will greatly appreciate for comments or suggestions on the best way to do this through any pointers on the Web.
alex

Use a OracleWebRowSet in which an XML representation of the result set may be obtained.

Be in the monitor window where u got the below issue
when I start the "schedule process" the status getting still "yellow 14:27: 31(194 from 0 records)"
and go to environment in the menu options TransactRFC--->in the sourcesystem...
give the logon details and enter and from there give the correct target destination as ur BI server and execute...
if u find some idoc's pending there push that manually using F6..
and come back to ur load and refresh....
if still it doen't turn green u can manully change status to red in STATUS tab and come to processing tab and expand ur processing details and right click on ur data packet which was not yet updated and select manual update...
it shows busy status and when it comes out of that once again refresh...

Best Practice for Significant Amounts of Data

This is basically a best-practice/concept question and it spans both Xcelsius & Excel functions:
I am working on a dashboard for the US Military to report on some basic financial transactions that happen on bases around the globe. These transactions fall into four categories, so my aggregation is as follows:
Year,Month,Country,Base,Category (data is Transaction Count and Total Amount)
This is a rather high level of aggregation, and it takes about 20 million transactions and aggregates them into about 6000 rows of data for a two year period.
I would like to allow the users to select a Category and a country and see a chart which summarizes transactions for that country ( X-axis for Month, Y-axis Transaction Count or Amount ). I would like each series on this chart to represent a Base.
My problem is that 6000 rows still appears to be too many rows for an Xcelsius dashboard to handle. I have followed the Concatenated Key approach and used SUMIF to populate a matrix with the data for use in the Chart. This matrix would have Bases for row headings (only those within the selected country) and the Column Headings would be Month. The data would be COUNT. (I also need the same matrix with Dollar Amounts as the data).
In Excel this matrix works fine and seems to be very fast. The problem is with Xcelsius. I have imported the Spreadsheet, but have NOT even created the chart yet and Xcelsius is CHOKING (and crashing). I changed Max Rows to 7000 to accommodate the data. I placed a simple combo box and a grid on the Canvas u2013 BUT NO CHART yet u2013 and the dashboard takes forever to generate and is REALLY slow to react to a simple change in the Combo Box.
So, I guess this brings up a few questions:
1)     Am I doing something wrong and did I miss something that would prevent this problem?
2)     If this is standard Xcelsius behavior, what are the Best Practices to solve the problem?
a.     Do I have to create 50 different Data Ranges in order to improve performance (i.e. Each Country-Category would have a separate range)?
b.     Would it even work if it had that many data ranges in it?
c.     Do you aggregate it as a crosstab (Months as Column headings) and insert that crosstabbed data into Excel.
d.     Other ideas that Iu2019m missing?
FYI: These dashboards will be exported to PDF and distributed. They will not be connected to a server or data source.
Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Best practice for migrating data tables- please comment.

I have 5 new tables seeded with data that need to be promoted from a development to a production environment.
Instead of the DBAs just using a tool to migrate the data they are insistent that I save and provide scripts for every single commit, in proper order, necessary to both build the table and insert the data from ground zero.
I am very unaccustomed to this kind of environment and it seems much riskier for me to try and rebuild the objects from scratch when I already have a perfect, tested, ready model.
They also require extensive documentation where every step is recorded in a document and use that for the deployment.
I believe their rationale is they don't want to rely on backups but instead want to rely on a document that specifies each step to recreate.
Please comment on your view of this practice. Thanks!

Nobody cares if if is riskier for you. The production environment is sacred. Any and all risk to it must be reduced to a minimum at all cost. In my opinion a DBA should NEVER move ANYTHING from a development environment directly to a production environment. NEVER.
Development environments are sandboxes. They are often not backed up. You or anyone else could easily modify tables or data with no controls in place. Anything done in a DEV environment is assumed to be incomplete, unsecure, disposable and unvetted.
If you are doing development and don't have scripts to rebuild your objects from scratch then you are doing it wrong. You should ALWAYS have your own backup copies of DDL in case anything happens (and it does) to the development environment. By 'have your own' I mean there should be copies in a version control system or central repository where your teammates can get their hands on them if you are not available.
As for data - I agree with what others have said. Further - ALL data in a dev environment is assumed to be dev data and not production data. In all environments I have worked in ALL production data must be validated and approved by the business. That means every piece of data in lookup tables, fact tables, dimension tables, etc. Only computed data, such as might be in a data warehouse system generated by an ETL process might be exempt; but the process that creates that data is not exempt - that process and ultimately the data - must be signed off on by the business.
And the business generally has no access to, or control of, a development environment. That means using a TEST or QA environment for the business users to test and validate.

They also require extensive documentation where every step is recorded in a document and use that for the deployment.
I believe their rationale is they don't want to rely on backups but instead want to rely on a document that specifies each step to recreate.

Absolutely! That's how professional deployments are performed. Deployment documents are prepared and submitted for sign off by each of the affected groups. Those groups can include security, dba, business user, IT and even legal. The deployment documents always include recovery steps so that is something goes wrong or the deployment can't procede there is a documented procedure of how to restore the system to a valid working state.
The deployments themselves that I participate in have representatives from the each of those groups in the room or on a conference call as each step of the deployment is performed. Your 5 tables may be used by stored procedures, views or other code that has to be deployed as part of the same process. Each step of the deployment has to be performed in the correct order. If something goes wrong the responsible party is responsible for assisting in the retry or recovery of their component.
It is absolutely vital to have a known, secure, repeatable process for deployments. There are no shortcuts. I agree, for a simple 5 new table and small amount of data scenario it may seem like overkill.
But, despite what you say it simply cannot be that easy for one simple reason. Adding 5 tables with data to a production system has no business impact or utility at all unless there is some code, process or application somewhere that accesses those tables and data. Your post didn't mention the part about what changes are being made to actually USE what you are adding.

Best Practice for Designing Database Tables?

Hi,
I work at a company for tracking devices (GPS Devices). Our SQL Server database is designed to have a table for each device we sell, currently there is 2500 tables in our database and they all have the same columns they only differ in table name. Each device
sends about 4K records per day.
currently each table hold from 10K records to 300K records
What is the best practice to design a database in this situation?
When accessing database from a C# application, which is better to use, direct SQL commands or views?
a detailed description about what is best to do in such scenario would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Tables columns are:
[MessageID]
,[MessageUnit]
,[MessageLong]
,[MessageLat]
,[MessageSpeed]
,[MessageTime]
,[MessageDate]
,[MessageHeading]
,[MessageSatNumber]
,[MessageInput]
,[MessageCreationDate]
,[MessageInput2]
,[MessageInput3]
,[MessageIO]

Hello Louis, thank you so much for your informative post. I'll describe in detail what situations I came through my 9 months of work in the company (working as a software engineer, but I am planning to take over database maintenance since no one is maintaining
it right now and I cannot do anything else in the code to make it faster)
At every end of the month our clients generate report for the previous month for all their cars, some clients have 100+ cars, and some have few. This is when real issue start, they are calling their data from our server through internet while having 2000
unit sending data to our server, they keep on getting read time out since SQL Server gives priority to insert and hold all select commands. I solved it temporary in the code using "Read Uncommitted" once I initialize a connection through C#.
The other issue is generating reports for a month or two takes lots of time when selecting 100+ units. Thats what I want to solve, the problem is the one who wrote the C# app used hard coded SQL Statements
AND
the company is refusing to upgrade from SQL Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003.
Now talking about reports, there are summary reports, stops reports, zone reports ..etc most of them depend usually on at least MessageTime, MessageDate, MessageSpeed, MessageIO and MessageSatNumber.
So from your post I conclude that for now I need to set snapshots so that select statements don't get kicked out in favor for insert commands, but does SQL Server automatically select from the snapshots or do I have to tell it to do so?
Other than proper indexing what else I need? Tom
Phillips suggested Table partitioning but I don't think it is needed in my case since our database size is 78GB
When I run code analysis on the app, Visual Studio tells me I better use stored procedures, views than using hard coded Select Statements, what difference will this bring me when talking about performance?
Thanks in advance.

Unicode Migration using National Characterset data types - Best Practice ?

I know that Oracle discourages the use of the national characterset and national characterset data types(NCHAR, NVARCHAR) but that is the route my company has decide to take and I would like to know what is the best practice regarding this specifically in relation to stored procedures.
The database schema is being converted by changing all CHAR, VARCHAR and CLOB data types to NCHAR, NVARCHAR and NCLOB data types respectively and I would appreciate any suggestions regarding the changes that need to be made to stored procedures and if there are any hard and fast rules that need to be followed.
Specific questions that I have are :
1. Do CHAR and VARCHAR parameters need to be changed to NCHAR and NVARCHAR types ?
2. Do CHAR and VARCHAR variables need to be changed to NCHAR and NVARCHAR types ?
3. Do string literals need to be prefixed with 'N' in all cases ? e.g.
in variable assignments - v_module_name := N'ABCD'
in variable comparisons - IF v_sp_access_mode = N'DL'
in calls to other procedures passing string parameters - proc_xyz(v_module_name, N'String Parameter')
in database column comparisons - WHERE COLUMN_XYZ = N'ABCD'
If anybody has been through a similar exercise, please share your experience and point out any additional changes that may be required in other areas.
Database details are as follows and the application is written in COBOL and this is also being changed to be Unicode compliant:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16

##1. while doing a test convertion I discovered that VARCHAR paramaters need to be changed to NVARCHAR2 and not VARCHAR2, same for VARCHAR variables.
VARCHAR columns/parameters/variables should not by used as Oracle reserves the right to change their semantics in the future. You should use VARCHAR2/NVARCHAR2.
##3. Not sure I understand, are you saying that unicode columns(NVARCHAR2, NCHAR) in the database will only be able to store character strings made up from WE8MSWIN1252 characters ?
No, I meant literals. You cannot include non-WE8MSWIN1252 characters into a literal. Actually, you can include them under certain conditions but they will be transformed to an escaped form. See also the UNISTR function.
## Reason given for going down this route is that our application works with SQL Server and Oracle and this was the best option
## to keep the code/schemas consistent between the two databases
First, you have to keep two sets of scripts anyway because syntax of DDL is different between SQL Server and Oracle. There is therefore little benefit of just keeping the data type names the same while so many things need to be different. If I designed your system, I would use a DB-agnostic object repository and a script generator to produce either SQL Server or Oracle scripts with the appropriate data types or at least I would use some placeholder syntax to replace placeholders with appropriate data types per target system in the application installer.
## I don't know if it is possible to create a database in SQL Server with a Unicode characterset/collation like you can in Oracle, that would have been the better option.
I am not an SQL Server expert but I think VARCHAR data types are restricted to Windows ANSI code pages and those do not include Unicode.

Best practice for multiple instances of the same BEX query

Hi there,
I'm wondering what's the best way to use multiple instances of the same BEX query. Let me explain what I mean:
I have a dashboard with different queries feeding different period of time such as: week to date, month to date and so on. One query for each since it is based on a user exit.
For each query I want to show different data in different sections of my dashboard. Per example: sales per directors or sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week and the like.I tried to connect a simple bar chart via a direct connection but with no success due to the multiple lines generated by the addition of the sales director, customer group, week number and so on.
My question is about the way to connect the different queries efficiently in order to show the different data while avoiding multiple useless lines.
The image above shows the query browser where, per example, for a Month to date query there will be mutiple line for each week as well as one line for each director. If, for two different components, I want to show data per week and data per director or other representation what is the best practice:
Add another instance of the same query and only put the week information and another one will only the director info?
Should I bind those to the excel file and use formulas to make final calculations?
Will there be a performance issues for adding different instances of the same query
I have 6 different queries (read 6 user exit that filters time via user exit).
Depending on the best practices there might be 4 instances for each for a total of 24 instances in the query browser.
I hope my question is clear enough, if not please do not hesitate I'll clarify as much as possible.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Might be trying for solution for a long time, If i understood your question clear let me clarify you few points.
You are trying to access the bex query which is designed with the exit's in the background based on the logic and trying to call the entire dimensions and key-figures in a single connection. Then you are trying to map those data in the charts.
Steve, try to make more connections based upon the logic and split them. use the same query but split them by sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week by making three different connections and try. You can merge the prompts from all connections.
Hope this Helps!!!
Sorry if i misunderstood your question.

Error while Connecting report Best Practices v1.31 with SAP

Hello experts,
I'm facing an issue while trying to connect some of my reports from Best Practices for BI with SAP.
It only happens when it's about info sets, the other ones that are with SAP tables go smoothly without a problem.
The most interesting is I have already one of the reports connected to SAP info sets.
I have already verified the document of steps of creation of additional database that comes with BP pack. They seem ok.
Here goes what Crystal Reports throws to me after changing the data source to SAP:
For report "GL Statement" one of the Financial Analysis one which uses InfoSet: /KYK/IS_FIGL_I3:
- Failed to retrieve data from the database; - click ok then...
- Database connector error: It wasn't indicated any variant for exercise (something like this after translating) - click ok then
- Database connector error: RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
For report "Cost Analysis: Planned vs. Actual Order Costs" one of the Financial Analysis one which uses InfoSet: ZBPBI131_INFO_ODVR and ZBPBI131_INFO_COAS; and also the Query CO_OM_OP_20_Q1:
- Failed to retrieve data from the database; - click ok then...
- Database connector error: check class for selections raised errors - click ok then
- Database connector error: RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
Obs.: Those "Z" infosets are already created in SAP environment.
The one that works fine is one of the Purchasing Analysis reports:
- Purchasing Group Analysis -> InfoSet: /KYK/IS_MCE1
I'm kind of lost to solve this, because I'm not sure if it can be in the SAP JCO or some parameter that was done wrongly in SAP and I have already check possible solutions for both.
Thanks in advance,

I re-checked step 3.2.3 - Uploading Crystal User Roles (transaction PFCG) - of the manual where it talks about CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT and CRYSTAL_DESIGNER roles, I noticed in the Authorizations tab that the status was saying it hadn't been generated and I had a yellow sign, so then that was what I did (I generated) as it says in the manual.
Both statuses are now saying "Authorization profile is generated" and the sign is now green on the tab.
I had another issue in the User tab (it was yellow as Authorizations one before generating)....all I needed to do to change to green was comparing user (User Comparison button).
After all that, I tried once more to refresh the Crystal report and I still have the error messages being thrown.
There's one more issue in one of the tabs of PFCG transaction, it is on the Menu one where it is with a red sign, but there's nothing talking about it in the manual. I just have a folder called "Role menu" without anything in it.
Can it be the reason why I'm facing errors when connecting the report to SAP infoSets? (remember one of my reports which is connected to an infoSet works good)
Thanks in advance,
