Database Sizing Question for 11i

I am looking to see if there is a spreadsheet or tool that would tell me the optimal database size, for 11i.
I understand there was one for 11 that would tell you the best size after you told it the number of suppliers you have, the number of inventory items available, number of accounts, etc...
Thanks
Sanjay

Stefan,
I guess both of us were writing at the same time and hence I missed your post edited part. Let me explain the user part. You can think about them in 3 different roles:
Named users - Number of users in the system which may or may not have "Guest" users. Not much useful for hardware sizing.
Logged On Users - Users currently logged on to the system not yet logged off and user logged on to the system but killed the browser. But they are still in the J2EE system holding memory with session info. They are useful for Memory sizing.
"Active Users" - They are doing sometime with some "think-time". They could be "high/medium/low" users based on the "think-time". They contribute to both CPU and Memory sizing.
Based on the above definitions (which may vary with different models) sizing will vary. Once you know your user profile (how many of them and how they use), you can use quicksizer to have some initial estimate. In case you have access to SAP fields and/or support, you can contact for some additional information. Those are useful for initial stage. If you have your system available, run some load tests to verify your initial estimate and refine them.
Thanks,
Swapan

Sizing hardware for 11i on linux

Does anybody have any experience/insight sizing hardware for a new 11i install on linux? We've estimated that we'll have about 300 named users, using finance, manufacturing and hr modules. How big/many servers do we start with?

Based on the document provided by Oracle corp. for sizing stated that
70 users per CPU and 8mb memory is required for each user to access Oracle Apps 11i.
So, you can think of 8 processors of 900 MHZ and 16 Gb of memory.
Swap space could be created and single time of physical memory because the physical memory is huge.
Upgradeable option has to be take care in near future requirement.
If you running Production and Demo and Test on the same server in sense that again configuration require to increased up.
The hard ware sizing is only for Apps 11i.
Based on the other requirement to access to the legacy systems and all let me know version of the Oracle enterprise database and no of users could access that and then I can give the requirement.
You can reach me through email: [email protected] so that I could be able to fill your expectation.
Thanks and Regards

Catalog database sizing questions

Hi There,
We need to create an RMAN catalog that would be able to support 8 databases 5 of which are around 50gb(40GB db files+10gb arcglogs) and the remaing 3 are about 120gb (100 db files and 20 archlogs).
Does anyone have any sizing recommendations regarding memory structures (sga, pga, large pool)? disk space? We are using Oracle 11.1.0.7 on windows 2008 server. The server itself is an intel box, dual core E5440 - with 16gb RAM.
Thanks

Hi rsar001,
The size of the catalog schema and database in your setup will not grow to more than 1GB (as long as you maintain a retention policy).
Just set sga_target to 1G.
As an example I have around 100 databases with sizes bewteen 10 GB and 2T and run a daily backup on all of them retention policy 1 month.
The catalog is and stays around 700M for more than 2 years.

Database recoverability question for cloning

Hi Folks
We run a hot backup everynight on our production database.
today in the morning when the database backup was not completed
a datafile was added to a tablespace which was low on space.
this is what i want to confirm
the datafile was added around 8.30 am
the backup finished at 11.00 am
but i need to recover backup until 9.00 am
Can you tell me if i could do that.
thanks

Hi,
the datafile was added around 8.30 am
the backup finished at 11.00 amDid you verify if this new datafile is included in the backup or not?
but i need to recover backup until 9.00 am What instance you want to recover? And, why you want to recover the database if it is working properly?

Hussein

Oracle Database sizing spreadsheet

Hello Guys:
I am badly in need of the database sizing template for one of the projects. Can any one share a copy?
Regards,
BMP

Lets see what's missing:
1. A product name
2. A product edition and version
3. Any indication of how the database will be used ...for example the name of an application
4. Business rules related to the storage of archived redo logs, flashback logs, and backups
5. etc. etc. etc.
None of which is contained in any spreadsheet I have ever seen.
I suspect what you are referring to is the old Oracle Financials version 10 spreadsheet which I have not seen in a decade.

CRM TPM Database Sizing for CRM and BW

All,
I am currently sizing for a TPM implementation and have a couple of questions concerning storage capacity for CRM and BW. I have reviewed and created an Excel spreadsheet based on the SAP Sizing Guide for CRM-TPM but I am coming up short in a couple areas.
Here is the document Link: [https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000711312004E]
1. Is there a storage sizing guide for BW or what has worked for the community to estimate?
2. Is the sizing guide for CRM/TPM correct (see below example)?
3. What has worked for CRM/TPM database sizing from the community?
I have a question about section 3.3.3 Disk Sizing in CRM. If the disk sizing is based on per promotion (for the condition generation process), why is there a multiplication factor for PARTNERS? I donu2019t believe we would have more than 1 or 2 partners per promotion.
I did some quick math with some example numbers and came up with about 2.9TB for the CRM database. See below for additional info based on the equation in section 3.3.3.
Part 1
20,000 Promotions
10 Products
1000 Partners
.87TB
Part 2
10,000 Promotions
47 Products
1000 Partners
2.04TB
Is this accurate for sizing the condition generation process for the CRM database? I am failing to understand why, for example, the 20,000 promotions would have 1,200 partners included in the base equation for each promotion.
I appreciate any time you could spend in responding to my question.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Estimation for database sizing

Hi,
I am looking for ways to arrive at estimate/calculate database size for our application. These are the details in brief.
All the tables are created under a user. The user is associated to a single tablespace.
Two kinds of data are stored. Config data and run time data.
Config data is stored in variants of varchar and clob. Run time data is stored in columns of datatype number(10).
Run time data is retained for specific period and then it is purged. Based on the deployment, the number of run time data points vary.
I am looking for something like this. Based on the number of data points collected, i want to arrive at the sizing requirements like require so much free space on the disk.
Can someone tell me where all the storage is taken up and how much. Some thing like
How much space is taken up by Number(10). How much additional storage is taken up by an index on a table, a primary key.
Does addtional storage need to be added for each table, view.
Which objects that are created and how much storage is allocated for it physically.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Krishna

Need to database sizing

Hi ,
Can any one help me to know, how to do database sizing for oracle database.
If database sizing is differed from version than i want to know for 9i,10g and 11.5.10.2 application.
I dont have basic knowledge for doing database sizing. please tell me know because i have assigned a project on this in my company?
Thanks a lot in advance

The version of the database is irrelevant. Sizing is solely a function of the application.
In your case, since you have one or more applications in the Oracle eBusiness Suite, there is almost certainly a sizing spreadsheet floating around. If you post this question over in the forum for the particular application(s) you are using, someone over there may be able to give you some pointers. I would also strongly suspect that a Metalink search that included the particular application(s) you're using would be beneficial.

DMZ Apache with OAS WebCache configuration for 11i

Hi,
We have the following configuration in place (using note DMZ Configuration with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i [ID 287176.1])
1. Browser (https) --> Internet --> |firewall| --> DMZ Apache reverse proxy server (https) --> |firewall| --> External 11i webtier (http) --> Internal 11i apptier --> Database
Now, we want to change it, so that the following configuration can work.
2. Browser (https) --> Internet --> |firewall| --> DMZ Apache reverse proxy server (https) --> |firewall| --> OAS WebCache (https) --> Internal 11i apptier --> Database
no cluster, no load balancer, no RAC in this configuration.
The user access are the same in #1 and #2: External users access 11i via "partners.external.com", while internal users use "employees.internal.com". Apache server in DMZ is the Entry Point.
Note "Installing and Configuring Web Cache 10.1.2 and Oracle E-Business Suite 11i [ID 306653.1]" is to set up WebCache as Entry Point for 11i. If we use it, external users are not able to access 11i system with "partners.external.com".
Question:
can #2 configuration be set up and work? which Oracle doucuments to follow?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
with following steps in 306653.1, profiles s_webentryhost and s_login_page are set with WebCache servername.
The access for internal users is working with URL https://webcachesername.internal.com/oa_servlets/AppsLogin
but external users cannot log in: at logon page, after typing username/password,
the logon page is refreshed back to the same logon page. If typing a wrong password, "Login failed" error shows as expected.
Thanks,

"In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition

Hi,
In one of our applications, we are using TimesTen 5.1.24 and Oracle 9i
databases (platform - Solaris 9i).
TimesTen holds application information which needs to be accessed quickly
and Oracle 9i is a master application database.
Now we are looking at an option of migrating from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g
database. While exploring about Oracle 10g features, came to know about
"In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle Enterprise Edition. This made
me to think about using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition with "In-Memory
Database Cache" option for our application.
Following are the advantages that I could visualize by adopting the
above-mentioned approach:
1. Data reconciliation between Oracle and TimesTen is not required (i.e.
data can be maintained only in Oracle tables and for caching "In-Memory
Database Cache" can be used)
2. Data maintenance is easy and gives one view access to data
I have following queries regarding the above-mentioned solution:
1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
"In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
cache feature)?
3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
in making this statement?
5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
Database Cache"?
In "Options and Packs" chapter in Oracle documentation
(http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/options.htm
#CIHJJBGA), I encountered the following statement:
"For the purposes of licensing Oracle In-Memory Database Cache, only the
processors on which the TimesTen In-Memory Database component of the
In-Memory Database Cache software is installed and/or running are counted
for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required."
We have servers with the following configuration. Is there a way to get the
count of processors on which the Cache software could be installed and/or
running? Please assist.
Production box with 12 core 2 duo processors (24 cores)
Pre-production box with 8 core 2 duo processors (16 cores)
Development and test box with 2 single chip processors
Development and test box with 4 single chip processors
Development and test box with 6 single chip processors
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
regarding your questions:
1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
"In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
==> Product has just been renamed and integrated better with the Oracle database - Times-Ten == In-Memory-Cache-Database
2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
cache feature)?
==> Seperate Installation
3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
==> Please have a look here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/timesten/quickstart/cc_qs_index.html
This explains the differences.
4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
in making this statement?
==> Please see above mentioned papers
5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
Database Cache"?
==> Again ... ;-)
Kind regards
Mike

SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS FOR ALL OF YOU

hi,
I have some questions for all of you.
1. Oracle uses cgi (even asp!!! I've seen an asp page somewhere on an Oracle's site but this moment I don't remember where perhaps it is asp->cgi). Why ?
Oracle doesn't support their techologies
(Pl/SQL, Jsevlets,XML) ?
2. Oracle says that has just released a
new product for mobiles called "Portal2Go".
I tried to install this product on NT with OAS 4.8.1.
I had many problems during the installation and after many tries finally I did it(thanks God). but the problems continue...
many Jsp errors (from the "tested" supplied apps). My question is:
a. This product is in an early stage (many installation errors.. just a baby) and I think is stable for Sun Solaris but not on NT.
b. You Oracle "experts" (i.e. oracle staff, NOT YOU guys) tell me ONE advantage to use you product (I'm an oracle developer for 6 years now):
You say that I can PORT my existing app in any device and Web (through XML). This is a joke. Mobiles,PalmPCs,Web etc. have different requirements (content,display etc).The scope is different.. so this is absolutely FALSE (to use a boolean).
This release is user unfrienlty. Why.. tell me WHY to pay for a product and for extra hardware (read the product technical reqs!!) to do the SAME THINK
I do NOW with existing sources.
I've developed an app for my company's employees using existing version of DB (8.0.5),pure pl/sql and a WAP GATEWAY.NOTHING LESS NOTHING MORE.
please answer. Any comment welcomed...
maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm not.
PS.WHERE THE WAP GATEWAY/SERVER IS. I searced the cd and..nothing :-) ?
thanks

Portal-to-Go is a wireless portal server, the first version was released November 1999.
The problems you describe that mobiles, Palm devices, etc all have different characteristics is one of the key reasons for Portal-to-Go. It allows any service to be displayed on any device by generating content in an appropriate format for specific devices. This way you can take into consideration the size of the screen, the display characteristics, etc.
It is 'stable' on Solaris and NT, though it is true that the installation procedure of the CD is for Solaris only. The product is not currently available on OTN, so the installer restrictions should have been explained to you when you obtained the CD.
Why Portal-to-Go? Here's three reasons:
1. Inherent problems of the User Interface for a wireless device, so we provide a way personalise the UI to improve navigation and allow commonly used parameters to be saved as stored preferences through the portal.
2. Differences in the characteristics between wireless devices make it hard to support all type without re-creating content and applications for each specific case. With Portal-to-Go, the same service can be accessed from any device.
3. Lack of content available for WAP and other wireless devices. We have tools to quickly create wireless services from existing Web sites as well as an application platform for creating new Java or database applications for wireless devices.
You are correct that the product does not have a WAP gateway.
I'm not sure where you are located, but feel free to contact me offline. I can answer any specific questions, or get you contact with a local Oracle representative.
At the moment, if anyone wants to obtain a copy of Portal-to-Go, you should contact your local Oracle representatives.

Oracle Database Migration Assistant for Unicode (DMU) is now available!

Oracle Database Migration Assistant for Unicode (DMU) is a next-generation GUI migration tool to help you migrate your databases to the Unicode character set. It is free for customers with database support contracts. The DMU is built on the same GUI platform as SQL Developer and JDeveloper. It uses dedicated RDBMS functionality to scan and convert a database to AL32UTF8 (or to the deprecated UTF8, if needed for some reasons). For existing AL32UTF8 and UTF8 databases, it provides a validation mode to check if data is really encoded in UTF-8. Learn more about the tool on its OTN pages.
There is a new Database Migration Assistant for Unicode. We encourage you to post all questions related to the tool and to the database character set migration process in general to that forum.
Thanks,
The DMU Development Team

HI there!
7.6.03 ? Why do you use outdated software for your migration.
At least use 7.6.06 or 7.7.07 !
About the performance topic - well, you've to figure out what the database is waiting for.
Activate time measurement, activate the DBanalyzer with a short snapshot interval (say 120 or 60 seconds) and check what warnings you get.
Also you should use the parameter check to make sure that you don't run into any setup-induced bottlenecks.
Apart from these very basic prerequisites for the analysis of this issue, you may want to check
SAP Note 1464560 FAQ: R3load on MaxDB
Maybe you can use some of the performance features available in the current R3load versions.
regards,
Lars
p.s.
open a support message if you're not able to do the performance analysis yourself.

Hardware sizing recommendations for B2B Server

My customer Welch Foods Inc. is on 11i Oracle eBusiness Suite and is planning to uptake the latest 1Sync integration features in the PIM product. For out-of-box AS2 connectivity with 1Sync - they are planning to use Oracle B2B Integration Server 10.1.2.3.
They have an average transaction volume of 30 transactions per month. One time - initial load of 20,000 transactions.
Based on the above estimates, they are looking for hardware sizing recommendations for the B2B server.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
Asmi Maharishi
SDM for Welch Foods.

Thanks for your reply!
Here are the responses to your queries:
1. Is B2B instance going to run alone in a box
Yes, B2B instance will run alone on a box.2. what will be the size of message
Messages can be anywhere from 5-20 KB3. how many messages will be part of a transaction.
It should be 2 - Registration and publication. But sometimes it depends on how successful the first “registration” goes. Typically we get one or two errors that the users go into PLM, correct and re-send.However, Looking at your current requirement, 30 transaction per month, we can easily address in a 4 GB machine itself.
Additionally, Oracle B2B supports 10+ messages per second in 32GB, 4 processor machine.
Memory suggested above is 4GB, does that take into account memory used by the 10G App server foot print or this is only to take care of messages? Also, how many Processors (Risk IBM) will be needed?

Okay. Question for all those IT wirzards (

Okay. Question for all those IT wirzards (& iTunes) experts out there. Anyone know why a playlist (Purchased) keeps dropping off my playlists in iTunes??l This has happened at least 15-20 times to me in the past couipe of years. Fofrtunately for me, I saved these songs to an external hard drive, so retrieval won't be so painful. Guess I just want to know how to avoid this going forward.

Just that one playlist goes missing and no other content? No idea. But it is clear you ought to have a backup so you can restore the database should it happen again.

Interview questions for oracle dba

Hi I am trying to find teh interview questions for oracle dba .
What will be your answer to the following questions. Can somebody shed some light...
. What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
·     Did you use online or off-line backups?
·     What version of Oracle were you running?
·     Haw many databases and what sizes?
·     If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
·     If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
·     Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
Thx
KK

. What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
I have got a checklist, designed for my daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly tasks. For example, in the daily checklist tasks, I check for the alert log file, competion and correction of my exports and operating system backups. DB space situation, Antivirus status, standby database status, space on disks, any rogue queries etc.
· Did you use online or off-line backups?
Both.
· What version of Oracle were you running?
8i(not any more), 9i, 10g
· Haw many databases and what sizes?
8 databases, ranging from 1 TB to 10 GB. I have segregated them into OLTP production, testing, cm, and development and a Datawarehouse.
· If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
How much they could afford to lose data or they want zero data loss and also I will get their requirements about down time and up time of database.
· If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
First I will identify it, then see to it what exactly it is doing, capture that situation and then either try to release the locks(if its a blocking or blocked session), or kill the session, if its hanging on a runaway query.
· Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
Oracle passes the ACID rule with distinction as compared to the other databases. Moreover, the multiversion read consistency, recovery, flexibility and challenges of Oracle are matchless.
Cheers
