CPO Oracle database settings

Hi,
The CPO install guide mention to modify the Oracle database settings as follow:
"For the Oracle DB instance dedicated to TEO, use the following script to change the case-sensitive settings in the Oracle database. The user must have database administrative rights to execute this script.
After changing the settings, the user must reset the database server.
Script
ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_COMP=LINGUISTIC scope=spfile;
ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_SORT=BINARY_CI scope=spfile; "
We are deploying TEO in an existing database containing other applications. Modifying the Database properties has indicated above may (still investigating) create issues with the other existing applications.
What is the impact of not applying the above changes to the database ?
Thank you,
JB

Julio suggested checking out these two bugs:
CSCtr89012 Oracle database is case sensitive
CSCts03785 Operations -> search is case sensitive in Oracle
He said it was close to the end of regression and was safer for them to ask for case insensitive settings.
The drawback to not having this would be some select type statements would not work or some things in tasks might not work...
ie. "task" would not match up with "Task"
I would suggest contacting Don Freeman and/or Julio Silveria for more information.

  • Query in timesten taking more time than query in oracle database

    Hi,
    Can anyone please explain me why query in timesten taking more time
    than query in oracle database.
    I am mentioning in detail what are my settings and what have I done
    step by step.........
    1.This is the table I created in Oracle datababase
    (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0)...
    CREATE TABLE student (
    id NUMBER(9) primary keY ,
    first_name VARCHAR2(10),
    last_name VARCHAR2(10)
    2.THIS IS THE ANONYMOUS BLOCK I USE TO
    POPULATE THE STUDENT TABLE(TOTAL 2599999 ROWS)...
    declare
    firstname varchar2(12);
    lastname varchar2(12);
    catt number(9);
    begin
    for cntr in 1..2599999 loop
    firstname:=(cntr+8)||'f';
    lastname:=(cntr+2)||'l';
    if cntr like '%9999' then
    dbms_output.put_line(cntr);
    end if;
    insert into student values(cntr,firstname, lastname);
    end loop;
    end;
    3. MY DSN IS SET THE FOLLWING WAY..

    load cache group rc_student commit every 100 rows;
    6.NOW I CAN ACCESS THE TABLES FROM TIMESTEN AND PERFORM THE QUERY
    I SET THE TIMING..
    command>TIMING 1;
    consider this query now..
    Command> select * from student where first_name='2155666f';

    1 row found.
    Execution time (SQLExecute + Fetch Loop) = 0.668822 seconds.
    another query-
    Command> SELECT * FROM STUDENTS WHERE FIRST_NAME='2340009f';
    2206: Table SCOTT.STUDENTS not found
    Execution time (SQLPrepare) = 0.074964 seconds.
    The command failed.
    Command> SELECT * FROM STUDENT where first_name='2093434f';
    < 2093426, 2093434f, 2093428l >
    1 row found.
    Execution time (SQLExecute + Fetch Loop) = 0.585897 seconds.
    Command>
    7.NOW I PERFORM THE SIMILAR QUERIES FROM SQLPLUS...
    SQL> SELECT * FROM STUDENT WHERE FIRST_NAME='1498671f';
    ID FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME
    1498663 1498671f 1498665l
    Elapsed: 00:00:00.15
    Can anyone please explain me why query in timesten taking more time
    that query in oracle database.

  • Date format issue in oracle database

    Hi,
    Back end : Oracle 11.2.0.2.0
    Front end : Forms 11g
    In our application we are facing issue with TO_DATE('DD/MM/YYY') Date format conversion.
    Example: TO_DATE(P_date,'DD/MM/YYYY') giving the result as 20-Dec-0009
    In the above eg the Parameter P_date is coming as '20-dec-09' from the front end (forms 11g)
    The Nls_date_format parameter at database level is set as 'DD-MON-RR'
    Its working fine after changing the conversion as TO_DATE(P_date,'DD/MM/RRRR') .- If we do like this , we need to change in many places , so instead of doing this, is there other solution wrt database settings/Application settings where we can change and fix this issue
    pls help us to solve the issue.
    Regards.

    sathish kWell the solution is right in front of you. As you say, your database environment is set to DD-MON-RR so your database is set to use 2 digit years (something most people moved away from with the millenium bug more than 10 years ago now). You can either change all your code to use RRRR as you've found, or change your database NLS setting to DD-MON-RRRR and change your front end application to pass you a date with 4 digit years so you get e.g. '20-dec-2009'.
    So many people worked hard to resolve the millenium bug issues all those years ago, but still we have people, all these years later, who want to reintroduce the problem. So sad.

  • Tracking oracle database activities in security/system logs of windows server

    Hi Dhomya,
    I am not familiar with Oracle database, though you may try to enable file system auditing:
    Audit object access
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776774(v=ws.10).aspx
    Apply or modify auditing policy settings for an object using Group Policy

  • Windows 7 64 bit, Access 2010 32 bit, Oracle 10G client 32 bit, Oracle database 10.2.0.4 64 bit

    I am trying to connect to an Oracle 10.2.0.4 database from Windows 7 OS - 64 bit using
    Access 2010 32 bit and Oracle 32 bit client version 10.2.0.1 installed on PC.
    My user requires a 64 bit Windows 7 OS for other needs.
    Oracle ODBC driver is 32 bit from Oracle 32 bit client.
    In Windows 7 OS 64 bit, ODBC DSN setup software is located in:
    C:\Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe for 64 bit drivers - all DSN types setup and
    C:\Windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe for 32 bit drivers - USER DSN setup
    When I run the ODBC Data Source Administrator, I see the Version number is 6.1.7601.17632
    I setup a User DSN using the 32 bit odbcad32.exe with a 32 bit ODBC driver.
    Our Oracle TNSnames.ora file has our standard entries which have worked for years
    (Windows 7 OS 32 bit and everything 32 bit has connected for years too)
    So when I configure an ODBC User DSN and leave all the default settings and press the TEST Connection button, it says it works.
    But when I open the existng Access 2010 database (which does connect to Oracle in a Windows 7 32 bit PC environment),
    1. I go to Access External Data ribbon tab / Link to the Data Source by creating a linked table / press OK
    2. I select the Machine Data source = to the USER DSN name / press OK
    3. The Oracle ODBC Driver Connect Window opens with Service Name = USER DSN and User Name and it wants a Password
    4. I enter the correct password and I get the following error message:
    ODBC call failed
    [Oracle][ODBC]{Ora]ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    (#12154) [Microsoft][ODBC Driver manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed IM006 0
             [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed (#0)
    I have tried a quite a number of fixes:
    I have gone into the PC registry and cleaned out most or all off the Oracle client keys and
    reinstalled the Oracle 32 bit 10g client. It didn't fix the error.
    I read about the Oracle instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.4.zip with ODBC modules but I have Windows 7 64 bit.
    Anyone experienced a problem like this and have a fix?

    Thank you for your reply.
    I did not get to try it because after I entered my question, I did a lot more internet Googling.
    I found this small comment:
    “There's a known issue where you get a 12154 error message running 32 bit software on a 64 bit OS using client 10201, and
    It should be resolved by patching the client to 10204, which you do by applying the 10204 database patch to it.”
    I searched around for the 10.2.0.4 patch for 10.2.0.1 Oracle 32 bit client.
    When I contacted my Oracle DBA to ask if he had that patch, he said that I should try the 11g 32 bit client on the Win 7 64 bit PC.
    We have a 10.2.0.4 Oracle database but he said the 11g client should work fine.
    I tried it and it solved the problem!
    With so many settings, configurations and permissions involved in ODBC, I am inclined to think that I missed a setting but
    it was a bug in the 32 bit client 10.2.0.1.
    Solved.

  • Network security with Oracle Database Cloud Service

    Does the Oracle Database Cloud service support SSL? Or, any form of network encryption/authentication between a client and the service across the Internet?

    Thank you Rick. I'm intending to use Oracle Database Cloud Service as a "Database-as-a-Service", however I have read that it is actually more of a "Platform-as-a-Service" offering.
    What I would like to do is to interact with the Oracle Database Cloud Service via a local JDBC client. However, from further reading, it looks like the only way to interact with the Oracle Database Cloud Service from a non-Oracle-cloud-based client is via its RESTful web services (which, as you said, support SSL).
    That is to say, I cannot simply connect to the Oracle Database Cloud Service from a local client just through JDBC alone. It looks like I would have to configure my client to make the relevant RESTful web service calls instead, and likewise configure my settings on the Oracle Database Cloud Service to make the necessary translations (from REST to SQL).
    Just to finally clarify, is my above understanding correct?

  • Performance Issues on Oracle Database Lite 10.3.0.3

    Hello,
    we have a big problem with one of our customers. He uses Oracle Database Lite in the standalone version. There are about 600 clients running a project with about 20 Publication Items. The customer works in the logistics field, so the Main time where nearly all clients want to sync and get their tours is from 02 AM to 05 AM, so that is the time with the most traffic.
    Everything went well before last week. Suddenly the compose cycle needs (at least between that hours) about ten times longer than before. Normally we had about 40 - 80 seconds, now we have about 300 - 500 average with max values from over 1200 seconds.
    Therefore we have a lot of conflicts and Disconnects on the clients. It is sometimes that bad, that nearly no client can sync successfully.
    We checked our Selects in the publication Items, all are very fast and look good in the explain plan, so that shouldnt be the problem.
    The installation is nearly in the Default state as oracle does when you install Oracle Lite. Are there any standard settings we can change? Does anyone had the same problem already?
    The Machine is a Windows Server 2003 with an Intel Xeon CPU E7-4820 and 4 GB of RAM.
    Of course our customer gets a lot of trouble because of that and we have to improve and fix that as fast as we can.
    Any recommendation or opinions are very welcome.
    If I have to give more Info about somewhat please feel free to ask, I will give it as fast as possible.
    Thanks in advance
    Holger

    Hey,
    many thanks for your proposals. The MGP runs every minute like the default settings are, because our application is a time sensitive. The data have to be very fast on the clients in the nights and thex are only a few minutes before available. I think the parameters are important in environemnts where the mgps runs only after a few minutes?
    Let me summarize the situation since my las post:
    We have days (nights) where everything goes quite well. Mainly that is thrusday and friday. But on the other hand, there are days where everything really is a mess.
    The mgp caycles increase and when you look to mobile manager you see 70 clients syncing very very slowly (about 300 - 600 seconds) for just a little bit of data. Then we get the disonnects and the messages in the err.log. 
    What do you think, is this somehow network related, or ist this a logical problem in the Mobile Server itself? 
    Like postes earlier, there are 500 clients syncing against a standalone mobile server.
    We just couldnt figure out, why the mgp times somehow and sometimes increase that much, that there are these problems.
    First we thought, that they sync newly over wireless (GPRS or Edge) and that syncing is that slowly, that everything goes down, but arent sure. Is this possible because of the architecture of the Mobile Server? That a very slow network can slow down the mgps and that does timeouts and all the other stuff?
    How many clients can a Standalone Mobile Server normally serve at same time without performance problems. What do you thin about the hardware I wrote? Is it powerful enough?

When the installation is finished I don't get any menu in my Applications menu named "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition" as specified in Getting Started Guide (I only get some items grouped into an category called "Other" (Backup Database, Get Started, Get Started With Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, Go To Online Forum, Read Documentation, Read Online Help, Register For Online Forum, Restore Database, Run SQL Command Line, Start Database and Stop Database). As a consequence I can't access the Oracle Database Home Page.
    In addition when I click on Start Database I get the following message: "Operation failed. josep is not member of 'dba' group".
    I've tried to re-download the packages and to configure it by editing /etc/init.d/oracle-xe but this doesn't solve my problem.
    can you give me some help?
    Thabk you in advance!

  • URGENT Problem with Greek Character from an Oracle database

    Hello, I am having a serious and urgent problem with the character settings of an oracle database (8.1.7). The database is sitting in a solaris unix server and when we run the env command we have the following in the NLS_LANG parameter: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 (I do not know if this is helpful). When I retrieve data from oracle database (through a VB.NET 2005 program)to a dataset I use a special font in order to see the greek characters (HELLASARIAL). But when I am trying to save these data to a TXT file the greek characters are like Chinese to us. I tried several encodings (System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(869)) but without success. Can someone tell me how to convert the oracle greek characters during the selection or during the saving to the TXT file?
    Please respond as fast as you can.
    Thanks in advance

    Here is the answer of the microsoft:
    I have the information that you have a VB.Net 2005 application connected to an Oracle database 8.1.7.4 hosted on a UNIX server.
    This database has the CharacterSet WE8ISO8859P1.
    When retrieving Greek characters from this database in the application, you cannot see them.
    Could you please send me a screenshot of these characters in the .Net application?
    Are they displayed as gibberish, or as inverted questions marks (?)?
    I already had similar cases with Hebrew characters hosted on an Oracle database.
    These characters were displayed as questions marks on the client side.
    This is due to the fact that System.Data.OracleClient is using the Server CharacterSet to display the characters.
    If your Greek characters are not stored in the WE8ISO8859P1 characterset, then they won’t display correctly on the client-side.
    This is different from OLEDB where you could interact on client side by modifying the NLS_LANG parameter in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0.
    The client NLS_LANG and the server CharacterSet had to match in order to correctly display the data, and avoid SQL*NET conversion.
    So there are two solutions to your case:
    - The first one is to create a new database using the P8 characterset. The Oracle .Net managed provider will so be able to use it and display the characters correctly.
    - The second one is to use the OLEDB.Net managed provider, and then use OLEDB for Oracle provider. OLEDB will take care of the client NLS_LANG registry parameter.
    Would it be possible to test your application against an Oracle database with WE8ISO8859P8 characterset?
    Would it be possible to test it with the OLEDB .Net managed provider, and after checking the NLS_LANG client registry parameter?

  • URGENT !!!!   Problem with Date format MM/DD/YYYY in oracle database to BW

    Hi
    I am wondering if somebody can help me urgently.
    I have oracle database where date is of the format MM/DD/YYYY and I am loading data into BW. DATE data type
    Date in oracle database: 3/30/2007
    First when I used InfoObject ZDATE (with 0DATE) reference (DATS data type) data load failed saying that
    'Value '30-MAR-0 ' of characteristic 0DATE is not a number with 000008 spaces'
    Then I created ZDATE InfoObject as CHAR Type (Length 10) with PDATE Conversion Routine.
    when I created datasource using DB Connect and checked the contents using 'Display Table Contents' after creating data source the data field distorted as
    AR/-0/30-M
    After data load. when I checked PSA
    The Date records look same as AR/-0/30-M
    In cube the field appeared as  30-MAR-0  (last digit of year disappearing)
    In BEx report also it looks like 'AR/-0/30-M'
    Can somebody help me as quickly as possible.
    What should I do if i want to still use DATS data type for ZDATE?
    should I change date format in database if so to what?
    If I should use CHAR type with PDATE or any other routine can somebody give me the routine to have the date in the report exactly as it appears in database?
    I also tried changing date format in user profile...settings. But still its the same.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Snrella,
    You can solve this by converting the date format from oracle to the SAP internal date format  using an ABAP routine in the transfer rules.
    Assuming the oracle data field name is ZODATE then here's the ABAP you can use in the transfer rules. Create an ABAP routine transfer rule from ZODATE to your ZDATE infoobject, and then put this ABAP code there. (this code assumes that the format of the date from oracle is MM/DD/YYYY).
    concatenate tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE+6(4) tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE(2) tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE+3(2) into result.
    Hope this helps.

  • Make oracle database case insensitive

    Hi All,
    I am using oracle 10g EE as my back end database and front end is in C# .NET. I want to make my oracle database to perform any comparison case insensitively. I searched on the net and found several ways to achieve that
    1. using upper function in procedures - can't afford
    2. function index - can't afford
    3. setting the session parameters
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_COMP=ANSI;
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT=BINARY_CI;
    The 3rd looks promising and can save lot of time. I have several question
    1. Is there any way I can set these parameters from .NET?
    2. Is there any way I can set once and will make only my database case insensitive?
    any link, reference is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your mail.
    I want to apply these settings to my oracle database only. It should not affect other oracle database that exist with my db.
    Thanks,It would make sense to issue "ALTER SESSION" statements during logon process from the .NET code instead of changing the entire database - which might affect other users. Judging by the way you have written this, I feel you are referring to a schema rather than database.
    .NET surely has the capability to run "ALTER SESSION" statements.

  • Handling Multi-byte/Unicode (Japanese) characters in Oracle Database

    Hello,
    How do I handle the Japanase characters with Oracle database?
    I have a Java application which retrieves some values from the database; makes some changes to these [ex: change value of status column, add comments to Varchar2 column, etc] and then performs an UPDATE back to the database.
    Everything works fine for the English. But NOT for Japanese language, which uses Multi-byte/Unicode characters. The Japanese characters are garbled after the performing the database UPDATE.
    I verified that Java by default uses UTF16 encoding. So there shouldn't be any problem with Java/JDBC.
    What do I need to change at #1- Oracle (Database) side or #2- at the OS (Linux) side?
    /* I tried changing the NLS_LANG value from OS and NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS settings in Database and tried 'test' insert from SQL*plus. But SQL*Plus converts all Japanese characters to a question mark (?). So could not test it via SQL*plus on my XP (English) edition.
    Any help will be really appreciated.
    Thanks

    The problem is that sometimes, the Japanese data in VARCHAR2 (abstract) column gets corrupted. What could be the problem here? Any clues?

  • Issue of inserting greek characters into Oracle database using ICAN505

    Hi All,
    We are currently facing an issue of inserting greek characters into Oracle database using ICAN505.
    We receive a file containing greek characters.The values from the file should be inserted into the database.We are reading the file using file OTD with default encoding.
    The file can contain english characters too other than greek characters.
    The database NLS_CHARACTERSET is AL32UTF8.
    When I insert using an insert statement directly ,the values get inserted properly into the DB table.
    Inserting the same values using code results in improper characters getting inserted into the table in the database.
    Please help....
    Thanks in advance !!

    Globalization forum?

    It works for SQL Developer, which does not depend on NLS_LANG, so I suspect a problem with your NLS settings.

  • How to backup all database settings and data for SOA suite to file(s) ?

    During the installation of the SOA Suite a couple of tables and schemas are created
    in Oracle database through the irca.bat script.
    Later the tables are filled with content by all the servers and services of the
    SOA Suite.
    How can I backup all these tables and SOA related stuff to one (or more)
    files (for a possible later restore)?
    This backup should contain only SOA Suite related tables and data.
    Possible other tables (for other applications) should not be considered.
    Is there a script (e.g. for sqlplus) or menu which does the
    SOA database backup job for me ?
    If there is no official backup script maybe someone in this forum
    wrote a personal script.
    Thank you
    Peter

    I am facing the same problem.
    I have spend a few days to configure and train my Sony tablet to configure for all my remotes such as aircon and lighting. I did a backup using the Sony companion to my PC. When my tablet was faulty and serviced. But the backup did not recover the IR remote settings and codes which I programmed previously. I also tried your backup restore app but it also does not save the configuration.
    It is VERY IMPORTANT for me to backup the settings.
    Please provide the folders and path of where the IR REMOTE settings and personal configuration and codes trained were kept so that I could back them up. Are these path protected area that required rooted access?
    Hope that Sony could update the app to include backup of new trained codes and settings and in the meantime to provide a procedure of how to backup the setting and trained IR codes with or without rooting the device.
