[Blog] Using VMware vROPs to monitor Oracle Database and WebLogic.  Management Pack for Oracle EM, Hyperic Plugins, or Both?

This blog post provides a suggested methodology for helping users of VMware vROps/vCOps decide which of the existing solutions, the vROps Management Pack for Oracle EM and the VMware vROps Hyperic Plugins for Oracle, should be used to monitor their Oracle workloads.
It’s been a nearly a year since VMware transferred the vCOps Adapter for Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) to Blue Medora and since that transfer Blue Medora has released a number of major updates as well as rebranded it the Blue Medora vROps Management Pack for Oracle EM. Over that same period of time VMware has continued to evolve their Oracle-focused (Oracle Database and WebLogic J2EE) Hyperic agent-based plugins culminating most recently with a October 2014 update to the Oracle Database plugin that provides support for Oracle Database 12c.

  • Unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver

    I am unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver vers.2.573.4202.00 on a Win98 computer.
    First, I create a "Net Service Name" in order for the ODBC Driver to find the Oracle server. I then created a System DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator and assigned the "Net Server Name" as the server in the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Setup". But when I test this DSN with Oracle's provided "Oracle ODBC 32Bit Test vers.2.5.3.1.0" I get an error:
    SQLSTATE: NA000
    Native Error Code:0
    Driver Message:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]
    This error occurred on all three Win98 computers I have tried. It does however, seem to work fine on WinNT 4.0, and believe it or not, on the two Win95 computers I have tried.
    Does anyone have any fixes, recomendations, or advice?
    Thank you,
    Eric Edwards

    Why are yu not using the Oracle ODBC driver - these can be downloaded from OTN.
    Have you set up a tnsnames.ora entry for the Oracle database you want to connect to? Does this name have a domain name added to it? Check %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora for the service name. If it is a name of the form :
    name.domain.subdomain
    then you should try using this full name when configuring the ODBC data source.

  • Oracle Change and Configuration Management packs

    Hi,
    We are looking at implementing the Oracle Change and Configuration Management packs.
    I would be very interested to hear from anybosy who is currently using these packs.
    I have done some preliminary tests, and am getting what seems like a very simple error, but i am at a loss as to how to fix it.
    Will respond to replies with exact error and scenario.
    thanks in advance.
    melvyn

    Hi Nayab,
    We are looking to implement the change and configuration management packs, to automate our change control.
    As part of my initial testing i have the following scenario...
    I have three database (namely TEST_DB, QA_DB and PROD_DB) all configured and manageable in EM.
    I have create a sample test schema in TEST_DB with tables, views, sequences, procedures and triggers.
    Using EM, i am able to transfer the sample schema (with all objects) from the TEST_DB to the PROD_DB.
    If i manually create the sample schema in the QA_DB, i am able to transfer the sample schema from the QA_DB to the PROD_DBm using EM.
    When i try to transfer the sample schema from the TEST_DB to the QA_DB i get an error in the synchronization phase.
    The capturing of the baseline, and the dictionary comparison phase complete successfully, but when i do the synchronization phase, i get
    the follwing error...
    SQL> ERROR:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
    SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
    Process ID: 0
    Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0
    This seems strange because, it must have been able to see the destination database for it to complete the dictionary comparison phase, so
    i cannot understand now why it cannot connect to the destination database to complete the synchronization phase.
    any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

  • Trying to add oinstall and dba (for Oracle Database and Enterprise Manager) to my LDAP account

    I want to add groups to my LDAP user account abc. Currently I have uid=243782(abc) gid=10(wheel) groups=1275(nsn-emp),9834(nsn-moh),10(wheel), but I want groups oinstall, oper and dba added.
    According to the database installation document, local os group must include oinstall and dba.
    The following local operating system groups and users are required if you are
    installing Oracle Database:
    ■ The Oracle Inventory group (typically, oinstall)
    ■ The OSDBA group (typically, dba)
    ■ The Oracle software owner (typically, oracle)
    I tried to add abc groups oinstall and dba using root user, but it failed.
    Could you please inform me how to add these groups?
    Thanks.

  • Can i use "Oracle Database 12c: Performance Management and Tuning " training for getting certification on "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning 1Z0-054"

    i have taken "Oracle Database 12c: Performance Management and Tuning new" training from oracle university. Now i would like to get certified on "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning 1Z0-054" exam. Is it possible ?

    I essentially endorse and refer you to Matthews' and John's post above.
    I would differ with slightly with Matthew because my guess is you would often be able to use like for like 12c training for an 11g certification ( I believe there are precedents).  BEFORE ANYONE ASKS THE OTHER WAY DOESN'T HAPPEN.
    .... but totally concur with Matthew you would ill advised to procede on that basis without one of:
    - This being advertised as possible on the website : e.g. https://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=654&get_params=p_id:169 ... option 2 show courses.
    - Confirmation from Brandye
    - Confirmation from an Oracle Certification Support Web Ticket ( http://education.oracle.com/pls/eval-eddap-dcd/OU_SUPPORT_OCP.home?p_source=OCP )
    ... The more common (and in my opinion usually better) way would be get your 11g DBA OCP ( or higher first) and then take the 1z0-054.  I am almost certain they will accept your 12c course for the 11g DBA OCP.
    If you are choosing the route of not being a 11g (or 12c ) DBA OCP first but are on option 2 and relying on the course for certification then the issue is more in the balance and you are even more strongly advised to get confirmation before proceding (remember if the rules need to be changed for you only then any profit out of the exam is lost).
    In general my understanding is Oracle would prefer to encourage people to train on the latest version of product that is available for training  and will prefer to avoid restrictions which would cause you to train at a lower version.  ( This is simply my guess at Oracle University Policy ... personal opinion only).
    Having said all I have said I'd encourage you to go with the advice of the earlier two posts.

  • Oracle Databases and Storage Systems like HP EVA

    Hi everybody,
    are there generel advantages or disadvantages using such storage systems?
    I would be happy if somebody could talk about his experience using such systems.
    Is there better/less performance with Oracle Databases? Better/less Security for my Data instead of using a local raid 5/1+0 for example? Or anything else I should now before using such a storage system.
    What type of storage are you using? What type of disks would be the best (scsi/fata) ?
    Please talk with me a little bit about your experience with storage systems and Oracle Databases ;-)

  • How to install Oracle Change Management Pack for 11g database.

    Hi,
    I need to setup "Oracle Change Management Pack" for my oracle11g database. Can any body help to do the same. i am able to configure following.
    Oracle Configuration Management Pack
    Oracle Data Masking Pack
    Oracle Diagnostic Pack
    Oracle Tuning Pack
    using following URL
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/license.111/b28287/options.htm#CIHBGJCC but not able to install "Oracle Change Management Pack for 11g database". Can any body share any pointers if any...
    Regards
    DBA.

    As far as I could understand, this is a part of Oracle EM/Grid installation:
    The sections that follow describe the Oracle management packs. The management packs can be purchased only with Enterprise Edition. The features in these packs are accessible through Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control, Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, and APIs provided with Oracle Database software.

  • Configuring Weblogic's jDriver for Oracle to use in distributed transactions

              Here is some errata to the instructions at "Configuring XA JDBC drivers" section of the online beta documentation:
              http://www.weblogic.com/docs60/adminguide/managetx.html#1041268
              The sample JDBC connection pool using Weblogic jDriver for Oracle should be:
              <JDBCConnectionPool
              Name="fundsXferAppPool"
              Targets="myserver"

              JNDIName="myapp.fundsXfer"

              Please note the different "rmid" values for the 2 different database instances. Note also that the above sample only applies for Beta 1. Instructions may change in the future for Beta 2.
              Also, all the names of the data source properties shown in "Table 8-2 Data Source Properties for WebLogic jDriver for Oracle" should start with lower case.

  • Compression for oracle database and index compression during import of data

    Hi All,
    I have a query , in order to import into oracle database and also have compression and index compression , do we have some kind of load args for r3load and also do we have to change the tpl file ?

    Hello guy,
    I did this kind of compression within migration project before.
    I performed index compress first and then export -> import with table compress.
    One thing you should take care, delete nocompress flag from TARGET.SQL (created by program SMIGR_CREATE_DDL, program SMIGR_CREATE_DDL created pure non-compression objects for these considered non-standard tables). For table columns > 255, we should not delete this flag.
    Regarding to the index compress in source system, please check the following notes:
    Note 1464156 - Support for index compression in BRSPACE 7.20
    Note 1109743 - Use of Index Key Compression for Oracle Databases
    Note 682926 - Composite SAP note: Problems with "create/rebuild index"

  • Where should one install Oracle Database and the Grid Infrastructure in order to adhere to OFA?

    I've downloaded the two zipped install folders for Oracle Database, and the two zipped install folders for the Grid Infrastructure.  The book I'm following for installation says to use one directory for the database, and one directory for the Grid Infrastructure, but it doesn't explain where they should be located in OFA.  Presumably they should both end up somewhere in the same Oracle Base (since everything Oracle related on a single file system should go in the same base, according to my understanding), but it isn't clear where they should be installed in relation to each other.  For example, is the Grid Infrastructure a separate product that gets its own Oracle Home?  Can anyone shed light on this process?
    Also, does it matter to which location the zipped files are unzipped?  For example, are any of these files used after the installation process, or does OFA only care about post-installation location?

    I think this links may be helpful -- ORACLE-BASE - Oracle Database 11g Release 2 RAC On Oracle Linux 5.8 Using VirtualBox, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/hunter-rac11gr2-iscsi-088677.html.
    OFA -- Optimal Flexible Architecture standard. The standard is a set of configuration guidelines created to ensure well organized Oracle installations that are easier to maintain (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/app_ofa.htm#LADBI440).
    It relates to location of the grid and dbms files location. Actually you should specify base directory and follow installer. System will be installed in correct directories.
    It does not matter where you will unzip your distributives. You may delete them after installation to free space.

    Muhammad AliOkay I've haven't done 1z0-045 ... but I at one point I was considering 1z0-050 so I'm willing to share my views on an upgrade exam and exams in general.
    Remember Oracle are trying to ensure that a DBA who was tested at 8i DBA OCP has nw
    It depends on your definition of read the topics. If you mean literally just read the topics then that will result in a failure. If you mean study research practice and fully understand the topics that should lead to a pass.
    Bear in mind that Oracle would expect a competent 8i DBA attending the 5 day training course Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle8i DBAs [http://education.oracle.com/web_prod-plq-dad/plsql/show_desc.redirect?dc=D17389GC10&p_org_id=&lang=&source_call=] to be able pass the exam with perhaps 2 to 4 weeks further study, revision and practice.
    Interestingly this particular exam has a relatively high pass mark (73%) ... one implication of that is that it is prudent to be comfortable with all topics.
    Generally an upgrade exam will cover topics beyond that of the straight OCA/OCP exams. The questions will obviously be at OCP level.
    It is possilble the Sybex book Oracle 10g New Features for Administrators Study Guide (Certification Study Guide) ISBN-13: 978-0782143553 which although for 1z0-040 may have some relevance for some of your topics. If you choose to purchase it that is your choice. (It seems to have good amazon reviews ... though all of these books can contain errors, it may or may not be updated for 10gR2, and some Sybex Oracle books are sometimes OTT in some areas IMHO, but that wouldn't stop me using one).

  • Oracle Virtual Private Database and Weblogic.

    Hi All,
    I am using Oracle 11gR2 and weblogic 10.3.5.
    I would like to use Virtual Private Database feature in my project. I read the documentation and I understood the concept. I made a few tests on my dev environment and it seems to work fine.
    Now, I would like to use VPD with weblogic (we are also using Hibernate) as all my users connect to the database through weblogic.
    My question is how can get the name of my non-database users (so coming from weblogic) and automatically set them  to my context ?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Anyone on this one ?
    Many thanks !
