Database Unix/Win32

Hey folks.
I'm wondering what will be the best implementation for database platform independency under Unix/Win32 using Java. The JDBC is a good solution but I want something which will be portable and have ease of development. Not something like Oracle. The DB will be small not bigger than 10000 entries.

Not something like Oracle. The DB will be small not
bigger than 10000 entries.Well, American Coders, Ltd. has a dBaseIII - dBaseIV engine
API, written in pure Java. That will be portable for sure.
It costs USD 100, but you can give it a free try first.

Connecting to an alternate Database UNIX Platform

We were having a single node installation.
All our servers were on a single machine(old machine) but now we have separated
the database on to a new machine.
In short we can say we have two machine Apps server and Database server.
We have transferred the Db from old machine(now apps server) to new machine (now db server) and we have made relevant changes to TNSNAMES.ora and Listener.ora files.
Now we are running two listeners one db listener on db server and other apps
listener on apps server machine.
We are able to connect to the database through application as well as through
sql plus
Also we are able to start our concurrent managers.
Everything is fine But
PROBLEM IS :
1)APPS SIGN ON SCREEN WHERE WE HAVE TO SPECIFY USER NAME AND PASSWORD GOES INTO A HANG .IT HANGS FOR A MINUTE AND HALF ENDING UP WITH THE FOLLOWING ERRORS:
ERROR1 :APP-01564 : ORACLE ERROR 3123 IN AFPODBLOAD
CAUSE: AFPODBLOAD FAILED DUE TO ORA-3123:OPERATION WOULD BLOCK
ERROR2:FRM-40735 SPECIALTRIGGER RAISED UNHANDELED EXCETION ORA-03127
ORA-03127:NO NEW OPERATIONS ALLOWEDUNTIL THE ACTIVE OPERATIONS ENDS.
2) Many a times we are able to log in into the apps and while switching
responsiblitiy the screen goes into hangs and all the above messages repeats.
Many time this problem does not come and everything works fine
What we did ??
1)We have installed the Oracle Server on the new machine(db)machine.
2)Copied the database from old(now Apps Server) to new machine(now db server).
3)Changed the tnsnames.ora to point to new machine(now db server)
4)stared the listener on new machine(mow db server)
5) started forms server,web server listeners .
6) connected to db via the application
Did i miss any of the steps ??
I hope above information gives u clear picture of our Problem.
We then tried exactly the viceversa, ie the apps server was made as a DB server and the DB server as the apps server. But still the problem persists.
What we did ?
We did a fresh single node installation in our New DB Server machine. We installed the VISION instance. We started the database, db listeners, Apps listeners, forms server and concurrent manager. We were able to connect to Oracle Applications successfully.
Then we pointed our database to the old Apps Server by changing the right hand side of tnsnames.ora. But unfortunately, we are experiencing the same hang problem.
Both the machines are on Compaq tru unix 4.0f.
Is there some parameters to be set (other than tnsnames and listeners) ????

got it working, here's some sample code. <% try{ ReportClientDocument clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument(); clientDoc.open(reportName, 0); ConnectionInfos connInfos = new ConnectionInfos(); IConnectionInfo iConnInfo = new ConnectionInfo(); PropertyBag bag = new PropertyBag(); bag.put("Database Class Name",driverName); // "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" bag.put("Connection URL",connectStr); // "jdbc:oracle:thin:@dbName:1521:sid" PropertyBag pb = new PropertyBag(); pb.put(PropertyBagHelper.CONNINFO_CRQE_LOGONPROPERTIES ,bag); pb.put(PropertyBagHelper.CONNINFO_DATABASE_DLL ,"crdb_jdbc.dll"); iConnInfo.setAttributes(bag); iConnInfo.setUserName(userName); iConnInfo.setPassword(password); iConnInfo.setAttributes(pb); connInfos.add(iConnInfo); session.setAttribute(reportName, clientDoc); session.setAttribute("reportSource", clientDoc.getReportSource()); //Setup viewer. Only going to include the relevant line, the rest can be found //elsewhere. CrystalReportViewer oCrystalReportViewer = new CrystalReportViewer(); oCrystalReportViewer.setDatabaseLogonInfos(connInfos); } catch(ReportSDKExceptionBase exc)%>

hi...i am facing a treamendous problem...
to shutdown the database(unix environmment), I have connected through putty and from there in the sysdba login, I have given the command "SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE"
but after that suddenly the power failure occurred and my local machine from which i was accessing the unix server, got shutdown..
after the restart, when I am again accessing the putty and connected to the oracle11g server and from sysdba login, given the "STARTUP OPEN" command, then it is showing the error...
SQL> startup open

hello,
In the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora file SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES is set to ALL and Secure Network Services has not been used.
Issuing the connection from another computer rather than host will not produce the error because in that case secure network services will be used.
To disable SQL*Net authentication services while still allowing normal SQL*Net connections you can set in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora the following line,
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES =(NONE)

My Oracle (Win32) Installation Experience

My Oracle Experence1
With 20yrs computer experience, degree in Math & CompSci and years using RDBMSs(Db2, SqlServer, Informix), MCSD cert , and a solid capable WinXp machine recently started trying to use Oracle… It isn’t doing well, and I’ll be happy to follow any suggested paths to a successful Oracle(Win32) installations... So here’s where I am… (all directly from Oracle Database Software Downloads)
Starting with Oracle Database 10g(win32) Release 2 (cause its used on a AIX box at work) all downloaded well. With more than adequately resourced computer( Dual core, 4G mem, +++) and after reading install prereqs, I tried a all vanilla default installation…
Successfully, till first startup of EM Database Control ->
Error: java.lang.Exception Exception in sending Request null ->
Hmm.. Spent 2 week there! Could do very minor sql plus stuff( barely past logon) but surely a crippled installation! Googled and searched here to never to find adequate or resolving resolution – so, well, since 10g isn’t the most current release( and one suggested resolution was to patch 10.2.0.4) – On to 11g and to get out of the bad
out-a-the box 10g experience… ( If anyone wants’ to suggest a how to complete a successful 10g - feel free…install)
So, on to 11g, - successful install – Em starts – “Certificate Error!” ->continuing,
Can login! Seam to be able to look around a bit – Status Up, instance, host, listener – ok!
On to Manage accounts
1.     Log in to Database Control.
2.     Click Schema.
3.     In the Users and Privileges section of the Schema page, click Users.
Oops - Scheme OK – Where’s Users and privileges section?
Hmm-> it sure doesn’t work like the Doc says!
Cant even get to Users and Privlages… and
I’m getting nowhere fast! Horrible OutOfThe Box experience with Oracle!
(and I’m not a novice computer or dbms user/installer)!
Stalled, stuck, not even close to doing what a dbms is supposed to do yet!
So, Help, Help here – How do I turn this horriable outabox around?
My simple goal – I have a perfect simple SQl2005 database and app running on SQL2005 datasource and want to put it on Oracle(Win32) datasource… (and yes I know and work with Oracle datasources from AIX boxes every day and am familiar with the Oracle SQL pecurlaritaries (ref cursors, sqlpluss, sql developer, crippled command line interfases… and such)
And actually, another purpose is to apply the best possible use of Oracle Tools for Visual isual Studio.
But first I have to get Oracle installed!
Directions Please?

5.2 Logging in to Enterprise Manager Database Control
Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control provides a Web-based user interface that you can use to monitor, administer, and maintain an Oracle database, including Automatic Storage Management.
To log in to Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control:
Open your Web browser and enter the following URL
Log in to the database using the user name SYSTEM and connect as SYSDBA. Enterprise Manager displays the Database Home page.
Use the password that you specified for the SYSTEM account during the installation.
*** Well OK, Right here, this doesnt work!
Logon: system, as sysdba -> and get username and/or password are invalid!
Oops, Whats wrong! Tried some of the other users(sys,sysman,..) combinations and i can get in
with sys(as sysdba). Why isnt the doucmantated user (system as sysddba) wotking!
Sysman and a couple other combinations work too - but not like the doc says...
Do i have a problem here!
Anyway, logedin as sys(As sysdba) proceding to
Problem #2. (from the Doc)
5.7.2.2 Using Enterprise Manager Database Control to Unlock and Change Passwords
To unlock and reset user account passwords with Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control:
Log in to Database Control.
See Also: "Logging in to Enterprise Manager Database Control"
Click Schema.
In the Users and Privileges section of the Schema page, click Users.
Enterprise Manager displays a table containing all database accounts. The Account Status column indicates whether the account is locked and whether the password is expired.
Select the user account you want to modify, then click Edit.
Use the General page of the Users property sheet to change the password and lock or unlock the selected account. Click Help for additional information.
*** OK, Clicked Scheme! (Goes to scheme ok)
Looking everywhere - What section "Users and Privileges" - Where? Its not on the pag i get!
I see, Database Objects, Programs, Change Management, MAterialized Views, XML Database, Workspace Management,...
And i am om the Database Instance: orcl - Schema Page!
Oh boy!
Not loged in as the Doc says i'm supposed to be...
No Users and privileges like the doc indicates...
Where do i go from here?
Like the saying goes, When your up to you bottom in alligators its hard to remembe you just wanted to drain a little swamp...
(I just want to see the usuers, unloac/loac and change some passwords)
What am i doin wrong, where did i get off track?
Where's the Users and Privilages like i'm supposed to be seeing?

Browse and upload file - Forms(6i)

Hi Friends,
How to enable users to browse and select a file from their local machine in a D2K forms (6i) and upload to the database unix directory
Thanks
Ramya

Hi Friends,
my exact requirement -
I have a form with 2 buttons -
First Button -
I have to create a external table,the file that is associated with external table is browsed in the form through button,after the file is browsed ,the same file has to be placed in unix directory.
Second button -
This button is to execute a packaged procedure which will be using the data from the file associated with the external table that we placed in the unix directory ( which i explained under button1)
Thanks
Ramya

What is a resource in OIM - really?

I'm trying to understand what I can do with resources, and how they can be manipulated (especially through the API.)
From the documents, "A resource object is a virtual representation of the target system, and contains all entities related to the external resource." Well, the 2nd part of that sentence seems to be overstating the case - you can create a resource type and create instances of that type, where the type will have user-defined attributes (url, username, etc.)
But still, it seems that the purpose of a resource object is to represent a system, perhaps for the use of reconciliation, but also so that OIM can provision the resource object to users (or groups.)
However, some of my coworkers believe that a resource is more than that. In particular, a resource could represent an arbitrary external entity (let's say, a bit absurdly, a particular automobile), and that there should also be ways to associate operations/permissions with that entity (in this case, "own", "drive", "ride-in", "fix", "sell"), and each operation/permission can be assigned to a user (or group.)
I find no evidence of this type of fine-grained permission-oriented use of resources. Is there a way to handle this type of problem within OIM (9.0.3)? If so, how? Is there something more appropriate than resources?
If it is possible to have operations defined on resources, how would you grant a user a subset of the operations?
And a related question: the API provides what seems to be read-only access to Objects? Is it possible to create Objects through the API? And what is the relationship of Objects to ITResources?
Many thanks for your thoughts and responses!

An IT Resource Type Definition is a type of resource, whether its a database, unix server, Active Directory Domain, Exchange Server, and such.
An IT Resource is a specific instance of a Type, which contains all the connection specific parameters that are passed onto the API calls. If you look at any of the APIs for active directory, it maps the values from the IT Resource to the connection parameters so it can create the connection to Active Directory.
In your example of the automobile, lets say you find a java api, or create one to communicate with an automobile. You have a Type Definition called Automobile, and an IT Resource of specific automobile type, with all the connection parameters you will require when you run your APIs. You would also require a resource object of Automobile type, a process form for the main account, a child table for the permissions, or check boxes, whichever way you would want to select the access rights, and a provisioning process.
So when a request is made for the automobile, the request would specify which specific instance on an IT Resource Lookup field, and however you have defined the access rights, they would select them. When the request is finalized, and provisioning, your APIs would use the IT Resource parameters to establish a connection, and then values from the process form to create the account with the specific rights defined on the form. Then close the connection.
You could also create a generic resource object, that requires no it resource, and it would simply be a place holder for a physical object like a secure id token, or mobile phone. You could just have a provisioning task that requires manual interaction for someone to go in and actually mark the object as "Sent Out" or completed.
Currently you cannot create an object through an API. They are only available during the Import, or creating with the design console.

Kill inactive sessions with no programs run it

hi all,
my database is 10gR2 with developer 6i
the database have huge number of sessions with no programs running it like oracle form, some of those sessions stack in v$session table due to power failure.
restart server solve the problem, but it is not efficient.
is there any method to fined witch of database sessions is actually connect to the database and have application running it ?

This script will give you the complete detail of Session , PID and Program which is running in dagtabase level.
You can include the "STATUS" coloumn from v$session to get user status.
Script is like this:
set echo off;
set termout on;
set linesize 80;
set pagesize 60;
set newpage 0;
select
rpad(c.name||':',11)||rpad(' current logons='||
(to_number(b.sessions_current)),20)||'cumulative logons='||
rpad(substr(a.value,1,10),10)||'highwater mark='||
b.sessions_highwater Information
from
v$sysstat a,
v$license b,
v$database c
where
a.name = 'logons cumulative'
ttitle "dbname Database|UNIX/Oracle Sessions";
set heading off;
select 'Sessions on database '||substr(name,1,8) from v$database;
set heading on;
select
substr(a.spid,1,9) pid,
substr(b.sid,1,5) sid,
substr(b.serial#,1,5) ser#,
substr(b.machine,1,6) box,
substr(b.username,1,10) username,
-- b.server,
substr(b.osuser,1,8) os_user,
substr(b.program,1,30) program
from v$session b, v$process a
where
b.paddr = a.addr
and type='USER'
order by spid;
ttitle off;
spool off;
Save this script with your desire name and run in Database.

Import: 8.1.6 to 8.1.5

Is it possible to import an export from a version 8.1.6 database (NT) into a version 8.1.5 database(UNIX)?
Below are the results of my attempts:
Connected to: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.5.0.0 - Production

It appears to fail because of the buffer size. I've tried several values with the same result. Documentation states buffer is operating system dependent and to check OS specific documentation for default size.

Local control center is not getting started

Hi all,
we have Linux server installed with OWB 10.2 which will act as CLIENT . And a database unix server (oracle 10g) which is doesnt have OWB installed on it which will act as SERVER.
Now we have created the OWB repository through CLIENT in the database server of the SERVER machine, and the server will be our OWB target database.
IN the scenerio we are able to open th design center. but when we are starting the OWB control services manually ( login as OWB repo Owner) through the client machine , it is not getting started. Failes with the error "run_service.sh not found"
And when we run the service doctor it shows the following message....
"There is a problem accessing the service startup script from the database server
Please verify that the disk containing the file is visible to the database server
Please verify that the database server account has access rights on the file " .
It seems to be the problem with acessing the OS file from client machine through the repo_owner(database owb repo user) which is a part of server database.
Please help me in this regard.

The good thing about the oracle db is that you get the owb installed with the database so you dont run into these kind of problems.
When you install the database and owb together and try to run the controlcenter, the controlcenter comes up on its self via a script at <owbhome>rtp\sql\start_service
Now that you dont have your owb installed on your database you need to run that script with some different paramaters
Host: servername
port:1521
service_name: [email protected]
schema_name: OWB_OWNER

CANNOT GRANT A USER ACCESS TO VIEW A SCHEMA USING PORTAL API'S

Hi, we are using portal 3.0.9.8.3(UNIX middle tier) on a 8.1.7.3 database (UNIX backend).
We would like to be able to grant a group of users the rights to view only a specific table or view using the functionality of the wwexp_api_engine package. However the only way to do this seems to be to give the users "view data" privilege to "all schemas" within the portal admin. This presents a large security hole since users can could potentionaly pass in different table names (to a url) and get access to undesired tables.
Granting executable privileges on the package(and sub packages) to the application database schema(whether public or explicit) still yields the above
message: Error: Insufficient privileges. (WWV-10600)
So does anyone know of a way to use the wwexp_api_engine package and restrict it to only a certain table or view of a schema? Or possibly what grants may be needed to allow the package to access the table without giving "view data" portal access to "all schemas".
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Try to grant "Create" global privilege to user and grant explicit privileges on the tables to the user. This way the user can create objects, but can view only those tables on which he has a privilege.
Thanks,
Sharmila
