Can we schedule Loader Jobs (SQL Loader) using Grid Control ?

Can we schedule SQL Loaders jobs/process using Grid Control for 11g database ?
Or
Is it good to schedule it as external jobs using DBMS_SCHEDULER ?
OS is LINUX. Database is 11g R1 Grid Control will be the latest, I believe 10gR3.
Any other suggestions... (I know it can be done using OS utilities like cron and others but that is not an option for now.)
Thanks in advance.

Try this
-> Create a shell script to execute sqlldr
-> On Grid, create an "OS COMMAND" job and pass this script as parameters. You'll have options to schedule this job.
Let us know how it works.

Track flat files that failed loading in sql loader

Hi,
Can anyone please suggest me any way to track the flat files which failed while loading in sql loader. And pass this failed flat file name to any column of a database table
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: 806821 on Nov 2, 2010 10:22 AM

Hi Morgan thnannks for ur reply.
Define failed. 1 row not loaded ... no rows not loaded ... what operating system ... what version of the Oracle database ... track in a table, send an email?
Your inquiry is long on generalities and short on specifics: Fill in all the blanks ... not just the ones I've listed above.
even if 1 row is not loaded even then it should be considered failed to load and the name of the that particular flat file should be fetched.
Operating system is unix
Oracle database we are using is R12
track in a table , yeah we want to send an email notificaiton whenever the flat files fails to load.
Thanks once again...!!

SQL Loader error: SQL*Loader-926. Please help

The root cause is in the error ora-1426, which you can look up in the online error documentation at http://tahiti.oracle.com . No one knows every error message by heart. This means it is expected you look up the error prior to posting, and you don't expect any volunteer in this forum to look up the error on your behalf.
Also this is a typical candidate for being a known problem, and known problems can be found on My Oracle Support.

Can we schedule DI jobs in crontab?

Hi All,
I have one dought ,Can we schedule DI jobs in Crontab.if 'yes' then how?
pls give me some suggestion.
Thanks-Rajeev khokhar

if your job server is on Unix then you can use Managment Console to schedule you jobs in cron, DS uses cron to schedule jobs
or you can export the job execution command to a script and schedule that script in cron manually

Why no exclusive lock for conventional path loading for SQL*Loader?

why no exclusive lock for conventional path loading for SQL*Loader?
it use insert statement so it should use exclusive lock right?
thanks

ok, so only update statement would put a lock but not for insert statement?
because I have seen a situation where a user update rows in a sesssion (without commit) prevent another user update the rows.
thanks

Check data before loading through SQL *Loader

Hi all,
I have a temp table which is loaded through SQL*Loader.This table is used by a procedure for inserting data into another table.
I get error of 0RA-01722 frequently during procdures execution.
I have decided to check for the error data through the control file itself.
I have few doubts about SQL Loader.
Will a record containing character data for column declared as INTEGER EXTERNAL in ctrl file get discarded?
Does declaring column as INTERGER EXTERNAL take care of NULL values?
Does a whole record gets discarded if one of the column data is misplaced in the record in input file?
Control File is of following format:
LOAD DATA
APPEND INTO TABLE Temp
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|" optionally enclosed by "'"
trailing nullcols
FILEDATE DATE 'DD/MM/YYYY',
ACC_NUM INTEGER EXTERNAL,
REC_TYPE ,
LOGO , (Data:Numeric Declared:VARCHAR)
CARD_NUM INTEGER EXTERNAL,
ACTION_DATE DATE 'DD/MM/YYYY',
EFFECTIVE_DATE DATE 'DD/MM/YYYY',
ACTION_AMOUNT , (Data:Numeric Declared:NUMBER)
ACTION_STORE , (Data:Numeric Declared:VARCHAR)
ACTION_AUTH_NUM ,
ACTION_SKU_NUM ,
ACTION_CASE_NUM )
What changes do I need to make in this file regarding above questions?

Is there any online document for this?<br>

Has anyone used Grid Control to implement DataGuard?

Has anyone used Grid Control to implement DataGuard?

Hi,
You are right, without the B&K software there is not much I can load. However this is usefull information. The VIs that you have are a wraper for the calls to the ActiveX pulse control. If those VIs do not provide the functionality for the Intensity Module there are 2 options:
+The developer did not develop VIs for the module
+The Pulse ActiveX control does not exposes the functionality of the Intensity Module.
To find this out, you can create a new VI that opens a reference to the Pulse ActiveX object and start looking for some property that gives you a reference to the Sound Intensity Module, or a a function that allows you to run any methods from the module. There are a bunch of examples that ship with LabVIEW on calling Ac
tiveX modules.
You can also try to get the documentation for the ActiveX interface for Pulse to find out whether the Module is exported or not.
There is also the option to use Native LabVIEW functions for the Sound Intensuty measurements; the Sound and Vibration Toolset can take sound intensity measurements that are compliant with industry standards.
Let me know how this goes.

Juan Carlos

Performance reports using Grid Control

Hello!
Can we create and schedule database performance reports using oracle 10g grid control?
Thanks.

Hi
Yeah its possible to generate the performance reports using Grid Control.
Ex:
Oracle Enterprise Manager GRID Server contains built in reports to support Database Administrators to generate sightly reports.
First Thing is to click to "Reports" tab on the top, right hand side of the GRID Management Console (figure_grid_management_console). This page is where all the predefined and custom reports can be find. Now click on the "Create" Button on top of the page to create a new custom report. "Create Report Definition" page comes to the screen. There are four tabs for the definition of the report.

Physical database creation using Grid Control fail

I have tried several times to create a physical standby using Grid Control. Everytime, the job failed at the step "DBClone -> Destination Preparation". The log file indicated the following error message:
PLS-00553: character set name is not recognized.
When I check the spfile, I find that an extra word "PuTTY" was inserted into the spfile as shown in the following spfile, therefore, the instance cannot be started. In addition, everytime when issuing the command "cat spfilermslag.ora", the word "PuTTY" will automatically appear in the command line after the "cat spfilermslag.ora" command.
$ cat spfilermslag.ora
gé ú&PuTTYrmslag.__db_cache_size=150994944
rmslag.__large_pool_size=4194304
rmslag.__shared_pool_size=71303168
*.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'
*.user_dump_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/rmslag/udump'
[oracle@wppnode2 dbs]$ PuTTY
What is going on here? How can I fix the problem?
Thanks!

You might just have to do it the old fashioned way. At least it will be a good learning experience.

Data Guard Summary problem using Grid Control.

I setup data guard using Grid Control and after completion, the console of the standby database shows: "Unable to determine Data Guard information." under the Data Guard Summary section. The primary database is not showing the standby. I'm using Red Hat Linux Server 5.7 (64bit) and Oracle 10.2.0.5. This is a standalone (no RAC or ASM involved). When I run show configuration, the following comes up:
DGMGRL> SHOW CONFIGURATION;
Configuration
Name: PRODDB_ghph@ora01
Enabled: YES
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Databases:
ghph - Primary database
gsbh - Physical standby database (disabled)
Current status for "PRODDB_ghph@ora01":
SUCCESS
I tried searching online and metalink but nothing. Any help in solving this problem would be appreciated. TIA

Can you confirm that only archive sequence * 58673* is missing or any more? If you have less number of archives are missing then see how the parameters you configured. like FAL_SERVER, LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG, LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n so on.
Check below command and see any errors with remote destinations

If the archives are missing so many and you do not have backup, then certainly you have to choose incremental roll forward to synchronize the primary database, then only you can see the configuration status of Broker as valid. You can refer this article to perform incremental roll forward http://www.oracle-ckpt.com/rman-incremental-backups-to-roll-forward-a-physical-standby-database-2/

I have never gotten Grid Control and database control working for a single database. I have tried. Oracle dbca gives you a choice for Grid Control or database control but not both.
Right, because intuitively it doesn't make much sense (but, as i mentioned, my situation is a bit out of the norm).
But, would there be some sort of error message returned if you did go in and manually start EM? Have you tried to go in and manually start up the dbconsole when GRID control was already running?
I checked the port.ini file and it showed this:
Enterprise Manager Console HTTP Port (SAIN) = 5500
Enterprise Manager Agent Port (SAIN) = 1831
So it's recognized in that file. It seems odd that DBCA would bother to include that if you select instead Grid Control.
Regarding the additional overhead of running both, would it be a big deal to simply turn EM on when I want to use it, then to turn it off so as to eliminate the additional overhead??

Unable to connect to Database using Grid Control

Hi,
I am attempting to connect to my Oracle Linux Machine which has 2 databases FROM my 10g Grid control which is on a Windows XP 32 bit.
Although I can login to the actual linux box with the host and database credentials ; I cant use the same to login to the database using Grid control.
I have tried testing the connection using Grid Control >> Preferences >> Preferred Credentials >> Host ; but its just not recognizing the credentials as correct.
When I attempt to startup the database using the host and DB credentials : ERROR MESSAGE : <servername> : <servername> comes up.
My agent on linux box is up. My Listener is running fine.
On my Grid control .. i have the DB, OMS, and Agent running as well.
Any inputs on this issue, I'd appreciate very much.

Thanks for your reply.
Under Hosts on the Main Grid Console Home Page >> "server3.sam" Status shows UP. This server houses my 2 databases. But when I click on Databases >> it shows Instance DOWN.
Status
Failed
Details Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach).
I have verified that my lsnrctl status is good on the linux box. My target agent is up and running on it as well.
So I try to start the STARTUP button >> I enter the HOST Credentials of the Linux box and the Database credentials which I use "SYS" (in upper case - just in case that mattered) and choose SYSDBA ;
Error Message
server3.sam: server3.sam
I created a new dba account and try to login ... dont seem to work ; I tried using SYSTEM account and even altering my sys and system passwords .. all turn out negative.
And the ANSWER to your question ---> Grid Control >> Preferences >> Preferred Credentials >> Database Instance >> corresponding to my database name ; I enter my sysdba username / password AND the host username / password of my Linux box >> TEST >> which also turns out negative.
This entry is auto filled in since I "checked" the box "Save as Preferred Credential"; initially when I tried to start the DB using the STARTUP button.
By the way, my Win XP doesnt really have a password set under User accounts.
Any suggestions please ?

Create data guard using grid control 10gR3?

Has anyone been able to create a data guard of 10g R2 (10.2.0.3 dbs) using Grid Control 10gR3?
My creation stopped on cloning the standby db step. And i had to finish it manually but i'm just wondering if it has worked for anyone else?

One step further. I enabled debug tracing for the agent and noticed that the creation of the windows service causes an error.

Can we give validations in sql loader

hi gems...
i want to populate a table through sql loader...but i have to give some conditions while inserting the records i.e. i have to give some checks and validations...

Probably you can use WHEN clause while loading the data. Please check the below documentation for more information.
