BR0398E DBVERIFY detected corrupted blocks in TS SAPSR3

Hi!
After DBVerify I get the following error:
BR0398E DBVERIFY detected corrupted blocks in /oracle/<sid>/sapdata4/sr3_8/sr3.data8
Furthermore I get the following warning/information:
Completely zero block found during dbv:
Page 286685 is marked corrupt
Question:
1) Does it mean that my database is corrupt and should be recovered from a valid backup?
2) What is the approach to handle here and to solve the error?
Enclosed the output of the following SQL commandos:
> select dbms_utility.data_block_address_block(1522735858) from dual;
DBMS_UTILITY.DATA_BLOCK_ADDRESS_BLOCK(1522735858)

Thank you very much!

Hi!
Some additional information
SQL> SELECT dbms_utility.data_block_address_block(1522735858) "BLOCK", dbms_utility.data_block_address_file(1522735858) "FILE" FROM dual;
     BLOCK       FILE
    203506        363
After this I executed alter system dump commando:
> alter system dump datafile 363 block 203506;
When I open the generated dump file I can see:
Error: alter system dump datafile/tempfile: invalid input file # 363
SQL> select owner, segment_name, partition_name, segment_type, block_id, blocks

Question
Should I run the following SQL commando or how can I solve my problem?
ALTER INDEX DD08T~0 REBUILD ONLINE;

DBVERIFY detected corrupted blocks

Hello Gurus,
I am facing This Error In My R-3 Server, Can Somebody Define this Error, What is a Cause And What is The Rectification of This Error ?
Error Description

Hello,
I do not understand why you are asked for the BR* tools version or the oracle one.
Resume -> you <b><u>have</u></b> corrupted blocks on your database.
It looks like on an index datafile ( if you are lucky it is an index and it could be rebiuld ) and on a "data" datafile ( if you are lucky is on free space )
Take a look at note <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/365481">365481</a>
and to the SDN blog:
<a href="/people/lars.breddemann/blog/2007/03/21/i-can-repair-your-corrupt-database">I can repair your corrupt database!</a>
If one of the objects affected is a table and you do not have a good backup, probably you will lose some data.

On receiving jpegs via email, sometimes they get corrupted, and there are horizontal blocks appearing on the image that distort the image. Help???

Hi Bruce523,
Let's get to the bottom of this, your efforts are greatly appreciated! What is the software version on your device:http://vz.to/ZVhZsh ? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sql backup detected corruption in database log

Unfortunately I am not a SQL Admin. I have moderate SQL experience at best.
I have four or five database in SQL 2005 that were the primary members of a mirror. The physical server (the one I am currently working on) was virtualized (P2V) then started as a virtual machine. Downtime was minimal. Maybe an hour or so
I believe.
Although I didn't check immediately after boot up, I have since noticed the mirror status is suspended. Attempts to resume fail. It appears my best bet is to backup the database, restore on the target, then recreate the mirror. The problem
is, attempts to run a Full backup of the database returns the following error on all the database I've tried to backup. After about 20% is says: SystemData.SqlClient.SqlError: BACKUP detected corruption in the database log. Check the errorlog for
more information. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I've tried setting the recovery type to Simple, but that fails telling me the database is part of a mirror and to be honest I'm not sure setting to Simple is the best option.
As it stands, the mirror is broken and I can not perform a full backup.
Any suggestions on how to proceed are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you Uri. Following are the results. Again, I'm not a SQL Admin but it appears this does not indicate errors?

New mail messages not visible--"detected corrupt database" related?

I am using Mail.app and an iPod Touch with an Exchange server (Intermedia). All of a sudden in the last few days, recent mail on the server is not visible using Mail.app or the iPod Touch. I have deleted the mail accounts on both devices twice and done an entirely fresh download of all mail on both, and the problem persists.
Mail in the Inbox is visible. However, if I move an Inbox message to, say, Archive or Travel, then it becomes invisible--even though it is intact on the server and in its proper location there.
I have also repaired permissions and run sudo daily/weekly/monthly maintenance processes, to no avail.
In the console, I see the following error message. Could this be related and is there a way to fix it?

Thanks for any help.

Update: all messages are viewable in Entourage Exchange Web Services 2008, but not in Apple Mail, or in Mail on my iPod Touch, or after a new download of all mail on another Mac in Mail.app. Why is Entourage able to see all the messages while all the Apple Mail clients are missing them?

*** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0x004ec848 ***

hi,
I am using Berkeley DB database and facing a problem while retrieving records. After building database i'm retrieving records from that database.After retrieving some records it gives the error as
*** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0x004ec848 *** Aborted. What can i do solve this problem.
Thank you,

Hi Ravi,
Have you googled for the error message? What are the results?
A good thing to do is to provide me a test program and more details about your operating system environment. Also, try to update your glibc version.

How to detect corrupt archivelog? and continue the backup.

Hi Folks,
In RMAN, While doing backup of archivelog, I am getting some error regarding some archivelog are corrupt.I have two question here?
1) How to detect that particular archivelog is corrupt or not?
2) how to continue the backup even if we have corrupt archivelog?
Thanks

2) how to continue the backup even if we have corrupt archivelog?What kind of error you are experincing? You can use skip clause if you know which one is corrupted.

Detecting corrupt pdf's programatically

Hello,
Background: Have written/using a c++ plugin for Acrobat in Windows.
I've encountered a couple of corrupt pdf files that cause a problem with my plug-in. I am unable to open these files manually in Acrobat or Foxit Reader (just to demonstrate it's not an Acrobat bug).
I was wondering if there was a way to detect these files prior to opening a pdf using PDDocOpen() in my plug-in? I haven't come across anything in the SDK/API.
I did figure out how to detect these corrupt files manually. I use the Recognize Text in multiple files->Select a folder option and it will indicate any problem files with a red X symbol.
If there's a call in the API that can detect these files, let me know.
Thanks.

No, there is no way to detect them other than having PDDocOpen() throw an error or return NULL.

Block cash sales with credit limit blocking from creation of outbound

Hello everyone,
Can you please teach me how to block cash sales with credit limit blocking from creation of outbound delivery? Currently, outbound delivery can not be created only for charge sales with credit limit block. Problem is, we can not confirm the cash sales. We have to delete first the outbound then unblock the S.O. before creating a new Outbound.
Thanks in advance.
Ridgy

Cash sale transaction will not have credit limit block, as the transaction is based on receipt of immediate payment. But if you still want to try the same, configure a 'Z' transaction Type for cash sale (Copy of Cash Sale - Sales Order Type) and maintain Credit check field as 'D' and try the scenario.
Ideally there should not be a Credir Check foe a Cash Sale Scenario.

Database Block Size Smaller Than Operating System Block Size

Finding that your database block size should be in multiples of your operating system block size is easy...
But what if the reverse of the image below were the case?
What happens when you store an Oracle Data Block that is 2 KB in an 8 KB Operating System Block? Does it waste 6 KB or are there 4 Oracle Data Blocks stored in 1 Operating System Block?
Is it different if you use ASM?
I'd like to introduce a 2 KB block size into a RAC Exadata environment for a small set of highly transactional tables and indexes to reduce contention on blocks being requested in the Global Cache. I've witnessed horrendous wait times for a plethora of sessions when a block was highly active.
One index in particular has a column that indicates the "state" of the record, it is a very dense index. Records will flood in, and then multiple processes will poll, do work, and change the state of the record. The record eventually reaches a final state and is never updated again.
I know that I can fill up the block with fluff by adjusting the percent free, percent used, and initrans, but that seems like a lazy hack to me and I'd like to do it right if possible.
Any thoughts or wisdom is much appreciated.

You could have answered your own questions if you had just read the top of the page in that doc you posted the link for
>
At the finest level of granularity, Oracle Database stores data in data blocks. One logical data block corresponds to a specific number of bytes of physical disk space, for example, 2 KB. Data blocks are the smallest units of storage that Oracle Database can use or allocate.
An extent is a set of logically contiguous data blocks allocated for storing a specific type of information. In Figure 12-2, the 24 KB extent has 12 data blocks, while the 72 KB extent has 36 data blocks.
>
There isn't any 'wasted' space using 2KB Oracle blocks for 8KB OS blocks. As the doc says Oracle allocates 'extents' and an extent, depending on your space management, is going to be a substantial multiple of blocks. You might typically have extents that are multiples of 64 KB and that would be 8 OS blocks for your example. Yes - it is possible that the very first OS block and the very last block might not map exactly to the Oracle blocks but for a table of any size that is unlikely to be much of an issue.
The single-block reads used for some index accesses could affect performance since the read of a 2K Oracle block will result in an 8K OS block being read but that 8K block is also likely to be part of the same index.
The thing is though that an index entry that is 'hot' is going to be hot whether the block it is in is 2K or 8K so any 'contention' for that entry will exist regardless of the block size.
You will need to conduct tests using a 2K (or other) block and cache size for your index tablespaces and see which gives you the best results for your access patterns.
You should use the standard block size for ALL tablespaces unless you can substantiate the need for a non-standard size. Indexes and LOB storage are indeed the primary use cases for uses non-standard block sizes for one or more tablespaces. Don't forget that you need to allocate the appropriate buffer cache.

Searching master block based on value in detail block

I have two blocks on a form. A master block for purchase orders and a detail block for the line items. I need to provide users with the ability to search the purchase orders based on the values entered into the detail block (line items), during the query entry. I am considering to check to see which block the cursor resides by using the :SYSTEM.CURSOR_BLOCK variable, then retrieving the value from the current item and running a query, using that query. The problem is that I am not very familiar with Forms and do not know how to implement my idea. Any ideas?

I copied you an example from metalink. Hope it will help.

How to query a Master record from a Detail Block

PURPOSE
------- To query a master record from a detail record. DESCRIPTION
=========== The user would like to enter a query criteria in the detail block
and then query the master record based on the above user input. SOLUTION
======== Create the master and detail blocks and the relationship in the usual
manner. We will consider here the blocks DEPT and EMP based on the
SCOTT schema. 1. Create a KEY-ENTQRY trigger at the block level of the detail block
(EMP) and add the following code in it : GO_BLOCK('dept');
CLEAR_BLOCK(no_commit);
GO_BLOCK('emp');
ENTER_QUERY; 2. Create a KEY-EXEQRY trigger for the detail block and add
this : EXECUTE_QUERY;
:global.deptno := :emp.deptno;
:global.flag := 'T';
GO_BLOCK('dept'); This will store the value of the deptno (primary key) in a global variable
:global.deptno and set another global variable :global.flag to 'T'. This
will be explained as we progress. 3. Create a WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE trigger for the detail block
and add the following : -- This is used to populate the MASTER block with the corresponding
-- record whenever the user navigates through all the records in the
-- DETAIL block if get_record_property(:system.cursor_record,:system.cursor_block,status) = 'QUERY' then
SELECT rowid,deptno,dname,loc
INTO :dept.rowid,:dept.deptno,:dept.dname,:dept.loc
FROM dept
WHERE deptno = :emp.deptno; -- This is to set the status of the record populated
-- to QUERY and not to create a new record SET_RECORD_PROPERTY(1,'dept',status,QUERY_STATUS);
end if; 4. Create a WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger for the master block again
and add this : if :global.flag = 'T' then -- set the variable to a different value
:global.flag := 'F';
:dept.deptno := :global.deptno; -- This will query the master table for the record based on the
-- deptno of the detail table which is stored in :global.deptno -- For ex: if an employee of department 10 has been queried in
-- the detail, then the global.deptno will have the value 10,
-- which is used in the query below to fetch the master record. SELECT rowid,deptno,dname,loc
INTO :dept.rowid,:dept.deptno,:dept.dname,:dept.loc
FROM dept
WHERE deptno = :global.deptno;
set_record_property(:system.cursor_record,'dept',status,QUERY_STATUS);
GO_BLOCK('emp'); end if; EXPLANATION
=========== Actually in the above method we are using the base table blocks as a
non-base table block when we query the master from detail. We are
displaying the master record fetched from the table based on
the query supplied in the detail. So after the fetch, if we clear the
block or form then we get a "Do you want to save the changes you have made"
alert. So in order to supress this while entering a normal master-detail
query, we have created the global variable, :global.flag. There is a limitation though, if you query detail records and then
navigate to the master block and then press the down arrow( i.e.,
navigate to the next record) and then presses the up arrow to
navigate back to the same record, then the detail records that
were originally populated will change and a new set of records will
get displayed. This is because the normal master-detail query is
taking place during MASTER record navigation. This can be controlled by creating a flag (global variable) and setting
its value and thus preventing the user from navigating to the next master
record. Do the following : 1) In the KEY-EXEQRY trigger of the detail add the following :global.control_master := 1; 2) Create a KEY-EXEQRY for the master and add this : :global.control_master := 0;
EXECUTE_QUERY; 3) Create a KEY-DOWN in the master with the following in it: IF :global.control_master <> 1 THEN
down;
END IF; Declare all the global variables before running the Form. RELATED DOCUMENTS

Query a database block based on a non-database block

hi everybody
can anybody help me as how to query a database block based on a non-database block, without a master-detail relationship?
i have a block : date_input which contains a non-database item: start_date
another database block (event_block)containing details of an event
i have to input a date in the start_date and query the event_block
in wich trigger should i insert the code?
thanks

If you are trying to query your database block (event_block) using the value from start_date in your non-database block, then you can set the Where clause in the database block using:
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY ('event_block', DEFAULT_WHERE, 'your where clause that includes start_date');
Place this statement in a trigger that is executed prior to the block being queried.

Move from storage location- blocked to other strg. loc. - blocked

It's possible to move a material (with batch) from a storage location (stock blocked) to another storage location (stock blocked) using one movement? If yes, what's the movement? If not, what is the simples way to move it?
Thank you.

Hi.
Use 325 movement type in MB1B t-code.
