Buying New AIX Servers + Oracle DB

Hi,
11.2.0.3
To further support our company's business goals and strengthen its infrastructure, We are buying new
-IBM machines Aix servers
-Oracle Db EE licenses,
-Application Suits,
-Weblogic Suite, (WebTier, Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle Web Cache, Oracle Portal, Oracle Reports Services),
-Identity and Access Management Suite Plus (Oracle SSO),
-Directory Services Plus (Oracle OID)
I am task configure initial setup of the "heart" of the project which is the database
I know that I need to plan and tune well the initial production setup so it will work good, and all the
other software is depending it will perform good too, resulting to a successful project.
It this regard, can you share be "best practices" documentation in installing and configuring the initial PROD setup of Oracle Database 11.2.0.3.
Do I recommend to install the lastest patch 11.2.0.4?
What others things to consider to achieve a successful well tuned and best performance for and initial setup? (aside from following the install guide)
Thanks a lot,
pK

The same "best practices" as for setting up a TEST database, which you should do first.
There is no reason NOT to start with 11.2.0.4.

If your application suite is poorly written, don't expect a "perfect" setup of the database to work miracles.

1Z0-045: Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle 8i OCPs

Hi,
I was looking for right reference book for the 1z0-045 upgrade certification. I could not find any reference book that is related to this certification. Only one book have found out on Amazon site, which is "OCP Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Oracle Press) (Paperback)" published by McGraw Hill.
But this book does not show exem number 1z0-045 anywhere. So I am not sure, is it a right book to buy.
Please let me know if any one has any knowledge about that.
I appreciate for your information.
Thanks
Amit

The book you mention is for those individuals who are upgrading their 9i OCP to the 10g OCP. Since you are apparently upgrading from 8i OCP, there is possibly a gap in your learning. You might want to take a look at OCP Oracle9i Database: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Paperback) which explains the new features for Oracle 9i to someone coming from an 8i background. No additional exam would be needed in your case but this book may help to fill out your knowledge a bit. You could also take a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96531/toc.htm if you would rather not buy an additional book.

How to see new disk in oracle linux 5

Dear,
i am using oracle VM and created 2 guest OS (both Olx5) i also created a shared disk and assigned to both linux servers.
question: how can i see the disk in each server. using fdisk -l it just shown the one there before.
in HPUX we have ioscan to detect new devices. is there away to check for new disk in oracle linux.
Thanks in advance.
Tom

fdisk -l shows only existing partitions. So if your new disk has not partition created it will be not shown in the output.
AFAIK there is not such command which will list all devices but there are several ways how to find the devices. All informations you can find in /proc directory (fdisk -l reads /proc/partitions when device is not passed as argument).
You can find devices (local disks) for example using following commands (hope it helps):
cat /var/log/dmesg |egrep 'sd[a-z]: s|hd[a-z]: h'
cat /proc/diskstats |egrep -v 'ram|fd'|awk {'print $3'}

Creating new Managed Servers on remote machines

Hi,
We have a multi-machine domain already in place. Nodemanager is configured and we're using the architecture suggested in Oracle SOA Enterprise Deployment Guide, where we have one domain home for the AdminServer and one domain home for the Managed servers. Right now what we need to know is how to add new managed servers in the easiest and fastest way possible on the mserver home on both the adminserver local machine and on the remote machine, this is a development environment and we need to be able to quickly create and delete these servers for developers to work.
We know that the standard way of doing it is doing a pack (for the managed servers only), and then an unpack on the mserver home both on local and remote machine after changing the root directory of these servers to match those homes. Here is were we have our first doubts. Do the unpack command command has to be run with the already running servers down? Does this pack and unpack process affects what we already have deployed on the running managed servers? And last but not least, is there any way to automate this process? Because we need to give the developers the ability to create clusters on the environment through the admin server console, but without giving them access to the underlying operating system.
If this seems like a newbie question is because we are, we're just in the process of migrating oas 10g to weblogic 11g and there are tons of basic administration stuff that seem pretty strange for us, we've looked through the Oracle manuals and metalink but even though some show you how to create the domain with remote managed servers for the first time, we couldn't find any mention on how to add the mserver efficiently after that.
Thanks!

Cris,
Thanks again for your help, we're trying to figure out how to present this procedure to our customer, just one thought though, we were thinking about moving away from the architecture presented by de SOA Enterprise Deployment guide, and using a single domain home located on the shared storage, that way we could create the managed servers from the admin console without having to use pack/unpack and deciding where to run the servers just by configuring machines and nodemanager. However, we haven't seen this kind of configuration anywhere on Oracle manuals, is there any other problem you are aware of in this idea? We're using a storage with multipath for the shared disk so we're not very concerned about availability (and if the storage went down the weblogic domain would be the least of our problems).
Regards, Franco.

Oracle DB upgradation in new os level oracle user

Hi all,
OS--hp-ux 11.11
db version : 9.2.0.4
We are planning to upgrade our production database from 9.2.0.4 to 10.2.0.4 in NEW OS LEVEL ORACLE USER.
let say our present Oracle db is existed in "Oracle" user and we are creating one more user called "oracle10" for 10g installation and we are planning to upgrade from oracle10 user...
please suggest me, what are things needs to be taken care while doing this process..
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Stevens,
There is very small reason, to reduce the downtime we are planning to install 10g binaries in on week day and weekend we will take downtime only for upgrade.
so that while upgrading we can exclude the installation time.
Thats why we are planning to create new os level user and installing 10g binaries.
So asked for advice and suggestions whether is it a way to approach.
Thank you very much
VamshiUnderstood, but none of that requires a new oracle user/software owner. I have managed AIX boxes hosting 3 separate db's, each with it's own OHome, owned by it's own OS account. I understand the reasoning of the guy who set that up (that I inherited it from), but disagree with it. It created as many problems as it solved. There really is no good reason that I can see to create more than one single OS account to own all of the oracle software installations. Just as there is generally no good reason to have multiple OHome's of the same version. Just as there is no good reason to have multiple listeners on a given host.

With APEX we're fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

How can i buy new battery for my macBook pro in France

Hello,
Please, someone can tell me how to find and buy new battery for my 2008 macBook pro in France ?
This one is very old, i already changed this battery one time, i think Apple store of town won't be ok to make the work cause i have made it myself one time before (it has fallen several times, almost broken, means impossible to shut the battery place but still working on). So i bought a battery to a third provider, wich doesn't work of course, try to ask to online assistance but i have to pay 30 € just to ask my question and i doesn't want...
SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO CHANGE MY BATTERY ??? HELP !!!
I bought it in 2008. I don't know exactly the serie. Just know it's a 2,4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo.
The reference of battery is A1281 10,8V 50 Wh. Can't find it on the store. The only one i found was on a website who didn't tell it's was a fake...
Lost 85 €

Here are the International Apple support telephone numbers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/he57
I note Egypt is not listed.
Purchasing a battery from a third party vendor is a high risk proposition. Many such batteries have been found to be substandard.
I suggest that you try and contact Apple and see if you can have one shipped to you.
Ciao.

What happened to the nifty "sync" button in iTunes? It syncs as soon as I plug it in, and that's great! BUT! When I go to the iTunes Store and buy new stuff, I can't just 'sync' the device again so my new stuff gets added. Why?

Nothing happened to it.
It is still there. Maybe it says apply now, not sure, but it is still there.

Hara..It does not support the "dot". If you want to include that you will have to enclose the entire username in double-quotes :
CREATE USER "Finedocs4.1_SP1" IDENTIFIED BY Be aware that doing so will also make your username case sensitive, so it would always need to be enclosed. If you make sure the username is create in all caps (CREATE USER "FINEDOCS4.1_SP1" ) it will be effectively case-insensitive to the end user, but there will still be admin commands on the username that will still need to be enclosed in quotes to get around the dot.Correct. I would suggest re-thinking your naming scheme and trying to use something that does not have the . or -

goodnight. as you know apple has evolved considerably until today but there are people who do not have ability to buy new products. in my case I would like to know why the apple do not let the iphone 3g update to iOS 4.3 as are several applications that can not put on my iphone 3g due to this reason. Why does not Apple make a repository with applications for ios 4.2.1? or else do not work in an update to ios 4.3 on iphone 3g?

This has nothing to do with Apple, as Apple does not make the apps.
This is the decision of the app maker.
Contact those app makers and ask them why they do this.

API for creating new User in Oracle E-Business Suite through BPEL

Hello,
I would like to use a BPEL process to create a new User in Oracle E-Business Suite. In the Integration Repository I was able to find an API called FND_USER_PKG/LOAD_ROW that creates/updates Application's User data. Is this the API I should be using? If so, I would like to better understand how to use this API.
I have created a simple BPEL process and added an Oracle Application Service, which uses this FND_USER_PKG/LOAD_ROW API. I set the following parameter before Invoking the Oracle Application Service: X_USER_NAME, X_ENCRYPTED_USER_PASSWORD and X_START_DATE. When I run the BPEL process I get the following error. I suspect that I am not passing all the required input parameters. Does anyone have any sample data I can use to get this API to load correctly? If I am using the wrong API, please let me know.
Please note, I have also posted this question to the SOA Suite and BPEL discussion forums...
Thank you kindly!
Christine

Hello and thank you for your response. I am new to using APIs so please excuse my inexperience... I am not sure how to run the API outside of BPEL... Is that something you could easily walk me through?
I have made the following changes in BPEL based on your recommendation: 1) Added Oracle Application Service and used the API, LDAP_WRAPPER_CREATE_USER, found in the Oracle Application Module Browser* under: Applications Technology (ATG_PF)> User Management (UMX)> User (FND_USER)> PLSQL> User (FND_USER_PKG)> LDAP_WRAPPER_CREATE_USER
2) Set the following parameter prior to Invoking the Oracle App Service: X_USER_NAME, X_UNENCRYPTED_PASSWORD,X_START_DATE, X_END_DATE, X_DESCRIPTION, X_EMAIL_ADDRESS, X_FAX, X_EXPIRE_PWD.
3) Deploy and run BPEL through BPEL Control.
I get the following {color:#ff0000}error on the Invoke{color}. {color:#339966}Do you see any issues with the values I am passing in the input{color}? Any idea why I am getting this error? Is there anything that I need to have configured for the API to work correctly, other than adding an Oracle Application Service in the BPEL?
Thank you for your time,

HELP: Problem creating a new database in Oracle 9i

I am having difficulty in creating a new database in Oracle 9i, on Windows 2000. I would be obliged if somebody can go through the posting below and guide me as to what mistake I am making or what is the source of the problem:
I reproduce the steps taken by me.
I have decide the database to be called Mydb. I have made the following directories:
-- d:\mydb
-- d:\mydb\data
-- d:\mydb\control
-- d:\mydb\log
-- d:\mydb\bdump
-- d:\mydb\cdump
-- d:\mydb\udump
-- d:\mydb\archive
-- d:\mydb\pfile
-- d:\mydb\scripts
-- d:\mydb\exp
I copied the initoracle.ora file to d:\mydb\pfile\initmydb.ora, and made the following changes to it:
-- db_name = mydb
-- instance_name = mydb
-- control_files = ("d:\mydb\control\control01.ctl")
-- background_dump_dest = d:\mydb\bdump
-- core_dump_dest = d:\mydb\cdump
-- user_dump_dest = d:\mydb\udump
-- remote_login_passwordfile = exclusive
Also, I created a text file called d:\Oracle\Ora90\DATABASE\initmydb.ora with the following contents:
ifile=d:\mydb\pfile\initmydb.ora
At DOS prompt, I run the following command:
set oracle_sid=mydb
I run the ORAPWD utility to create internal password file at the command prompt.
d:
cd \oracle\ora90\database
orapwd file=pwdmydb.ora password=panther entries=25
I create a Windows service for the database as follows:
oradim -new -sid mydb -startmode a -pfile d:\mydb\pfile\initmydb.ora
I get connected:
sqlplusw /nolog
connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba
startup nomount # pfile=d:\mydb\pfile\initmydb.ora
create database mydb

Now I get the following error:
create database mydb
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced
The data files, control file, redo log files are all created. But the above error comes, and I am unable to start the database. What is the reason?
Thanks in anticipation.
PS

Hi DENIS,
I have executed the following commands (which are in a script file),
1. sqlplus /nolog
2. connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba
3. create database ...

When I execute the 3rd command, I get an error message as "ORACLE TERMINATED FORCED" and it will end the session. So when the next set of commands in the script are executed, I got the error saying "DATABASE NOT OPEN".
How to rectify this problem.
Thanks in advance,

Problem with inserting new records in Oracle Forms

Hi Friends,
I am a new user to Oracle Forms and I need a help from you people. The problem is as follows:
I have a data block in which I can display a number of records. In this data block the user will be able to edit the fields if no child records are found in another table. I have used when-new-record-instance to attain this scenario. All are text items. One item licensee_id which is made invisible by setting the property in property palette and required=no ( as this is the primary key of the table). Also the audit columns are made invisible.
The code for it is as follows:
DECLARE
     v_alert_button NUMBER;
     v_cnt                          NUMBER;
BEGIN
     SELECT COUNT (*)
INTO v_cnt
FROM id_rev_contracts
WHERE licensee_id = :ID_REV_LICENSEES.licensee_id;
IF v_cnt > 0 THEN
set_item_property('ID_REV_LICENSEES.LICENSEE_NAME', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
ELSE
     set_item_property('ID_REV_LICENSEES.LICENSEE_NAME', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
     -- set_item_property('ID_REV_LICENSEES.LICENSEE_NAME', INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
END IF;
END;
Now in this data block I should also be able to insert new records and for the same I have used PRE-INSERT trigger and the code for it is as follows:
DECLARE
     v_alert_button NUMBER;
CURSOR v_licensee_id IS SELECT id_rev_licensees_s.NEXTVAL FROM dual;
BEGIN
OPEN v_licensee_id;
FETCH v_licensee_id INTO :id_rev_licensees.licensee_id;
CLOSE v_licensee_id;
IF :id_rev_licensees.licensee_id IS NULL THEN
Message('Error Generating Next v_licensee_id');
RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
END IF;
:ID_REV_LICENSEES.created_by := :GLOBAL.g_login_name;
:ID_REV_LICENSEES.last_updated_by := :GLOBAL.g_login_name;
:ID_REV_LICENSEES.create_date := SYSDATE;
:ID_REV_LICENSEES.last_update_date := SYSDATE;
EXCEPTION
WHEN form_trigger_failure
THEN
RAISE form_trigger_failure;
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
v_alert_button :=
msgbox ('ERROR in Pre-Insert - ' || SQLERRM, 'STOP', 'Contact IST');
RAISE form_trigger_failure;
END;
Every thing is compiling fine but at the run time when I am trying to insert a new record I am receiving the following error:
FRM-40508:ORACLE error:unable to insert record
I also think the pre-insert record is not firing at the time of inserting a new record and saving it. So I request you to please delve into this problem and suggest me how to overcome this problem. Code snippets would do more help for me. If you need any other things from me please let me know. I will see if I could be of any help in that concern because I may not be able to send the entire form as it is.
Thanks and regards,
Vamsi K Gummadi.

first of all
pre-insert fires after the implicit/explicit commit/commit_form is issued and before the real insert is submitted to the db.
i would suggest to remove the error handling part for the moment
because i believe you might be getting "ora-xxxx cannot insert null"
and also make visible the primary column to check if the pre-insert is executed.
it would be better to make visible for a while the not null columns of the table/block
i suppose that the block is insert allowed and you are using table as the source of the block and not any procedures or something...

Upgrade mac pro or buy new imac

Really need some help here. My base machine is a quad-core Nehalem Mac Pro running at 3.33 with 8Gb of RAM and using a ATI Radeon HD 5870 video card. My choices are:
Buy a new iMac 3.4 Ghz quad core i7, 16 Gb RAM, nVidia GTX 680MX, 750 Gb SSD drive (about $3500)
OR
Buy 16 Gb RAM, nVidia GTX 680 (about 900 dollars)
Is there much of a performance differece between the 2 to justify the difference in cost?

The Mac Pro you own has way more headroom to upgrade for short money.
The 2009 and later can upgrade RAM DIMM modules by the each -- don't buy new memory modules for these Macs smaller than 8GB per module (cheaper than two 4GB). These are as cheap as US$70 + shipping from Mac-Centric vendors such as Data Memory Systems:
