Data Masking Pack in Oracle 11g

Hello,
I'm trying to evaluate the data masking functionality of Oracle on either 10g or 11g database.
Can anyone tell me what should be installed to reach this funcionality?
Thank you in advance,
Luka

I guess you meant this one,

Thsi pack is a part of EM suite. So you need to download the EM to use it.

Data Masking Pack

I have installed the Oracle Enterprise Manger Control Grid 11g R1 with Oracle Database 10g R2 (10.2.0.4). Now I am asked to install the data masking pack. How can i install the data masking pack?
Thank you,

Data Masking Pack functionality is shipped with the Enterprise Manager Grid Control product starting with EM GridControl 10.2.0.4. Click on the Database tab; the links Masking Definitions and Mask Formats are related to Data Masking.

How to make data base link from oracle 11g r2 to microsoft sql 2008 express

I need to make data base link from oracle 11g r2 to microsoft sql 2008 express to make replication between then
please help me !
I didn't know what is the user and password in the command which create database link

To replicate data you can ude Database Gateway for ODBC or Database Gatewy for MS SQl Server. Please use the search engine of this forum if you ant to get more details about each product.
Some SQl Servers are set up to use Windows authentication only. In this case you won't be able to connect to the SQL Server as Windows authentication isn't supported with the gateways. You have to make sure your SQL server is supporting username and password authentication - a common user is the "sa" user. Regarding the username/password, please get in touch with your SQL Server Admin.

Problems with date in procedure on Oracle 11g

Hi gurus,
I have some problems with the date format on Oracle 11g.
Let me explain the situation:
When I am starting a request like
select to_number(to_char(to_date('01.04.2009','dd.mm.yyyy'), 'yyyy'))
from sys.dual
I got as result 2009 as number.
When I do the same in a procedure of a package like this
my_year := to_number(to_char(to_date('01.04.2009','dd.mm.yyyy'), 'yyyy'));
the variable my_year contains the value 9 instead of 2009.
Can someone explain me what's going wrong?
I have just tested with changing the environment variable nls_date_format for the session and for the complete database with no success.
Regards,
Björn

Thank you all for your replies so far:
@Alex: You are right, using your short script in sqlplus gives me also 2009 as result
So, I am now posting the essential excerpts of the procedure because the whole one is to large:
function insert_szrl (my_fremd_name varchar, my_elementadresse varchar,
my_zeitstempel varchar, my_wert float,
my_status varchar, my_zyklus varchar,
my_offset integer,
my_quelle varchar, my_nzm_daten integer) return integer is
begin
my_date := to_date (substr (my_zeitstempel, 1, 10), 'dd.mm.yyyy') + my_tageswechsel +1/24;
if my_zyklus = 'mm' then
my_zeitstempeldate := add_months(to_date(last_day(to_date(my_date, 'dd.mm.yyyy')), 'dd.mm.yyyy'),-1) +1 + (my_tageswechsel+1/24);
my_days := to_date(last_day(to_date(my_date, 'dd.mm.yyyy')), 'dd.mm.yyyy') - add_months(to_date(last_day(to_date(my_date, 'dd.mm.yyyy')), 'dd.mm.yyyy'),-1);
my_year := to_number(to_char(to_date(my_date,'dd.mm.yyyy'), 'yyyy'));
ptime.umschalttage_tuned (my_year, my_ws, my_sw);
end if;
While debugging the complete procedure I see since the start only a date which looks like '01.04.2009 07:00:00'

Create Table Trigger to replicate data from MSSQL2K5 to Oracle 11G on Linux

I am trying to create a trigger on my MSSQL 2k5 server so that when a record is inserted, a replicated record is created in a table on an Oracle 11g database on a Linux server (Oracle Linux 6).
Creating the trigger is easy, but when I test it I am getting an error stating the following:
.NetSqlClient Data Provider The operation could not be performed because OLE DB Provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' for linked server "<myserver>" was unable to begin the distributed transaction.
OLEDB Provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "<myserver>" returned: "New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator"
Here is the trigger (MSSQL):
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE insert_aban8_state
    @an8 int,
    @st nvarchar(3)
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON;
    declare @c numeric
    select @c = count(*) from [e9db]..[CRPDTA].[ABAN8_STATE$] where alan8=@an8 and aladds=@st
    if(@c =0)
     begin
        insert into [e9db]..[CRPDTA].[ABAN8_STATE$]
        values(@an8, @st)
     end
    END
GO
After reviewing the MS Transaction Coordinator, I am now totally confused. I checked the services and have the MS DTC enabled and running, but am not sure what to do on the Linux side.
Does the Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server (OraMTS) work on Linux? I could only find references for this for Oracle 11g on Windows.
What do I need to do to enable this replication via mssql table trigger to Oracle11g on Linux?

nsidev wrote:
While I would agree in part, it appears from the message that the trigger is requiring the Transaction Service to be enabled on both the host and target. The point of this post is to determine what, if anything, I need to do on my Oracle DB to allow the trigger to complete successfully.
There are many posts found with Google concerning the OraMTS service on the Oracle system, but they all appear to be for Windows based systems. My question is, is this service part of the Linux based Oracle DB and if so, how do I initialize it?
If I am mistaken and this is truly an issue with the MSSQL server, I will replicate the post in those forums. I am just looking for direction and help.
1) I have NEVER heard that Oracle has, knows about, or supports any "Transaction Service".
2) Consider what I previously posted regarding the flavor of client source.
If your assertion about this mythical service were correct, then the Oracle DB would have to be able to "know" that this client connection was originated by SQL Server.
I don't understand how or why Oracle should behave differently depending upon whether INSERT is done inside or outside a MS SQL Server trigger.
Please explain & elaborate why Oracle should behave different depending upon the source of any INSERT statement.
3) From Oracle DB standpoint an INSERT is an INSERT; regardless of the client.

How to get data from PostgresSQL to Oracle 11g

I have a general idea on the topic but need more information on the procedure to get data from Postgres (version 8.2 on Linux) database to Oracle 11g (on AIX Unix). Thanks very much in advance!

You need to configure DG4ODBC (=Database Gateway for ODBC). When you install it on a 64bit OS (for example on the same machine as your Oracle database), then it requires a 64bit Postgres ODBC driver. If you install it on a 32bit machine (for example on a 32bit Linux), then you need a 32bit Postgres ODBC driver. Commonly on Unix you also need to install a matching ODBC Dreiver Manager (for example you can get it from www.unixodbc.org) when Postgres doesn't ship one with their driver.
A note describing the DG4ODBC configuration can be found on My Oracle Support:
How to Setup DG4ODBC on Linux x86 32bit (Doc ID 466228.1)
and
How to Setup DG4ODBC on 64bit Unix OS (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX) (Doc ID 561033.1)

Getting errors for date related queries in oracle 11G

Hi,
We are having oracle 10.2.0 version and all the date queries are running , but one database has been upgraded to oracle 11g.
Those queries are giving errors :
SELECT * FROM USERLOGMST WHERE TO_DATE(LOGINDATE,'YYYYMMDD')>=SYSDATE-60
Ora-01841: (full) yearmust bee between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0.
But the same query is giving output in 10.2.0
Can any one suggest me in rectifying this problem.
thankyou
satya

But the same query is giving output in 10.2.0First step - find a few values that are causing the error:
e.g.
select max(logindate), min(logindate) from userlogmst;This may return perfectly reasonable dates, in which case you could use a pl/sql function to scan and report bad dates.

Find Datas from Select Satement - Oracle 11g After changing the Connection?

Iam very very new to Oracle. Yesterday only I have Installed Oracle 11G & created DataBase - JafferDB
And from Oracle SQL Developer, I have created a connection called - JafferCon and SID also given..and the role is - SYSDBA
And I excute the below statement
insert into MyTable1 Values ('AAA1', 'BBB1', 'CCC1')
insert into MyTable1 Values ('AAA2', 'BBB2', 'CCC2')
Then I checked by Select statement, it has shown the values....No Problem....
But, as a test, I deleted the connection and created a new connection tio the same DataBase with different name
and when I checked by Select Statement....., it has not shown the values....????
Does any mistakes....?
Thanks for the directions...

after you insert, update or delete any data in the database you must use "commit" or "rollback" statement. Commit if you want "save" the changes or rollback if you don't.
Other users can't see this new changes until you do the "commit".

Does Oracle Data Masking pack work with MS SQL Server?

And if so, are other OEM packs required (i.e. MS SQL Server system monitoring plug-in)?
TIA

Hi Martin.
I try to resolve this problem ( sqlserver masking) but I can't found the OBE mentioned.
You or anyone have examples about masking MS SQLServer, because in the Oracle documentation suggest that is possible but not "how do it", except the use of heterogeneous services.
Thanks in advance.

How to backup flashback data archive enabled tables -oracle 11g?

1) Whether the flashback data archive can be backed up using the following options in oracle? Any pointer from the documentation would be much appreciated.
RMAN
Data pump
2) How to move the flashback data archive table from one database to another? The reason why I am asking this question is that the history data for flashback data archive table is managed by undo tablespace. In this case, if I simply export the flashback data archive enabled tables to another database, will I able to view the history information?
Regards,
Richard

Hi Morgan,
Thanks for your response. Our intention is that to configure the total recall feature in the reporting instance for historical data view. Let's say , we are mining the changed data from the OLTP instance to reporting instance via logical standby. In this case, the history data will be maintained in the reporting instance?
Regards,
Richard

Do data modeler support ORACLE Secure Data Masking and Subsetting ?

How to use the security(Contains PII, Masking Type, ...) in conjunction with ORACLE Secure Data Masking and Subsetting. Is it possible to generate masking definitions for ORACLE Data Masking ?

Hi Philip,
it's a XML-format an looks like:

<ADV_OPTION_REFRESH_STATS>Y</ADV_OPTION_REFRESH_STATS>
<ADV_OPTION_DROP_TEMP_TABLES>Y</ADV_OPTION_DROP_TEMP_TABLES>

</MASKING_COLUMN>
</MASKING_DEFINITION>
This is a example from my local 11 g database control on our OEM 12 c it starts with:
MASKING_DEFINITION PROD_VER="12.1.0.4.0" META_VER="1.0">
Perfect would be if we can choose the type of masking "Redaction/Data Masking" in the preferences and the properties of "Masking Type" and "Mask Template" properties would match the choosed type of masking.(i assume they can be found somewhere in the SYSTEM data dictionary)
Besides the present properties there exists many others for "Data Masking Pack" like Start/End, ...
Complete support of Data Masking Pack over Data Modeler would be great, OEM is more a dba tool and on our site definition of security is a product-owner/designer responsibility.

Cannot load any data from Oracle 11G data base

Hi Gurus!
We using SAP BI 7.0.
We have a source system, which is an Oracle Data warehouse based on Oracle 11G data bases.
We created the source system in the BI without any problem.
The connection is open to the Oracle databases.
We created data source in the BI (trn. RSA1), and when we would like to Read Preview Data (Display data source, Preview tab) we can't see anything.
The system is working, in trn. SM50 we see the process is runing, but we can't see any data (we wait more than 5000 sec.)
When we tried data load from the source system, we got a short dump with time-out (after 50000 sec.)
Summarize:
- the connection to the source system is OK,
- the process is running
- we can't see any Preview data
Can somebody help us?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Gergely Gombos

We really need to know what errors or warnings the Cache Agent is reporting in the TimesTen ttmesg.log files, when an autorefresh fails, to be able to give advice. If the size of the datastore segment is 512MB (though you don't say how that is divided between Perm, Temp and Log Buffer) but you're only using 30MB of Perm, then on the face of it, it's not a problem in running out of memory. You say autorefresh doesn't complete when "there are a lot of updates on cached tables" - do you mean updates being done directly on the rows in the TimesTen cachegroups, by users? If so, it sounds to me like you have locking contention between the user updates, and the autorefresh mechanism trying to bring new rows in from Oracle. Again, the ttmesg.log should spell this out.

Re: Error when configuring Data Masking with workload masking in 12c

Hello,
Even I am facing a similar issue - error message displayed when trying for data-masking along with R.A.T. capabilities
Can anybody help resolve this.
Objective - Use Real Application Testing in combination with Test Data Masking Pack
Current Setup
I have a VM Box with Windows 2008 R2 Server OS Image
Enterprise Manager 12c and Oracle 11g Database Instance Installed and configured on the same host.
Have added one more Oracle Database Instance 11g Database instance into the Target Databases.
while doing data masking, when i select the checkbox Ensure Workload Masking Compatibility i always get the error:
"Workload masking is not supported by the target database chosen. You may need to apply a patch or move to a newer version of the database for workload masking."
Can you please guide as to which patches / configurations need to added. I believe the Patches and Provisioning Wizard within EM will help on installing the requiredd patches.
But I am not aware of which patch it is referring to.
highly appreciate your help n guidance in this regards.

Gosh! at last i found the solution!!
I appreciate those who tried to help and i''m sharing the solution as i believe this is the purpose of SDN Forum and help others Netweaver Chap who facing the same problem:
Problem faced:
Extractor failed intermittently for WORKLOAD ANALYSIS (Introscope Data) due to error message "Error when opening an RFC connection"
Due to the above error, performance data is not available in RCA workload analysis for J2EE engine.
Possible Solution:
1) Ensure both webadmin & SOLMANDIAG RFC working fine -> SM59 -> TCP/IP
2) go to SE16 -> E2E_RESOURCES and change the resourcecap to 10 for SOLMANDIAG
3) go to /smd/services -> Diagnostic System -> Advanced Setup -> Abap connectivity -> Connection Configuration and change server count to 10
4) Restart webadmin (step 3 & 4 can perform in VA too)
5) set gw/keepalive & gw/reg_keepalive to value 0 in RZ11 (without reboot of instance)
5) again go to SM59 -> TCP/IP -> SOLMANDIAG and put in the gateway host and gateway service correctly, don't leave this empty!!!! -
> This is the main solution to solve intermittent failed RFC for extractor.
Now, go back and monitor the extractor log and you should see no RFC error anymore and wait for 1 hour for the data to populate.
Thanks!

How To Determine Oracle 11g Issues

Is there a script or way I can run a health check or data integrity on a Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.3) database server I don't own or have any experience with? I'm being handed a 11.2 11g Enterprise Edition & would like to see what the state of the database is and the included data. Is there somewhere I can start or some kind of script I can run to determine if this machine is doing well or needs specific attention?

CarlosinFL wrote:
I'm not sure how else to state this but if you were given a database server you didn't configure or use, you would like to know if there are invalid schema entries, What is an invalid schema entry?
critical database operational errors, Presumably, those would be logged in the alert log
performance problems, It's impossible, in general, to script that. You'd need to know what the performance requirements of the system are. You can run an AWR/ Statspack report and see that, for example, the server has been under heavy load. But it's impossible for a script to differentiate between "everything is operating as expected, the system is well tuned so that we can use as much of the hardware as possible" and "oh crud, response times just went through the roof and users are lighting up the phones with complaints"
loads of junk in the recycle bin, etc etc etc...Why do you care what's in the recycle bin? That's just space that Oracle is free to use when it needs to use it, there is no harm in having tons of objects and data in the recycle bin.
I have no experience with this server so I would like to analyze it and find out what / where attention is needed.That generally requires conversations with the users that depend on the system and the documentation around the system as much, if not more so, than running scripts against the database. You'll want to see what the written backup and recovery plan is, for example, and you'll probably want to verify that you can follow the plan and recover the last set of backups. No script is going to be able to tell you whether the last set of backups are recoverable, how they were taken, whether the documentation is up to date, whether the plan itself is reasonable, etc. You'll want to talk with users to understand how they use the system, what the performance requirements are, what problems, if any, they have, etc. Depending on the organization, that may involve looking at the bug tracking/ issue tracking/ ticket tracking application(s), it may involve conversations with humans, etc.
