Discovering oracle databases in the network

I was wondering if there is a possibility, to discover with occi all available servers in the neighbourhood.
I noticed this feature already in the sqldeveloper tool from oracle , so there must be a way. I stumbled so far on nothing in the documentation on my search nor in any forum.

Migrate sql server dump file to Oracle database on a network

I have a sql server dump file provided to me by DBA's. I have to migrate this dump file to Oracle database on a network. Please suggest me the steps to do this.

regardless of the tool/technique you use, those bits have to get from machine running sqlserver to the machine running Oracle. Either over the network (through the firewall) or via 'sneakernet.' What, exactly, are the firewall constraints?
If the export is a simple text file (character delimited fields? fixed length fields?) and only 100 records ... Migration Workbench may be overkill, perhaps a simple sqlldr job. But you still have to get the bits from 'there' to 'here'.

BTW, it would be really helpful if you would go to your profile and give yourself a recognizable name. It doesn't have to be your real name, just something that looks like a real name. Who says my name is really Ed Stevens? But at least when people see that on a message they have a recognizable identity. Unlike the system generated name of 'ed0f625b-6857-4956-9b66-da280b7cf3a2', which is like going to the pub with a bag over your head.

Protect Oracle Database Data from Network Administrators

first: is there any kind of solution to protect the access to the database from Domain Network admins?
we know ( ora_dba ) users can login to the database with a blank password,
second: is there any way to encrypt all the database data on all tables using any kind of products ?
thanks in advance

Using Coherence and Oracle Database as the CacheStore

We are working on implementing a solution using Coherence and Oracle Database as the CacheStore. We initially implemented the Cache as a distributed-scheme which in turn uses the backing-map-scheme. We are trying to introduce transaction management and I used a scheme-ref in a transactional-scheme to point to an already existing distributed-scheme. However when I bring up the server, my custom coherence-cache-config.xml file is not recognized and Coherence comes up with the default setting. Given below is the snippet of my configuration file.
1) I would like to understand why the below configuration doesn’t work and am I doing it the right way? If not, what is the correct way of doing it?
2) There are a multiple transaction management options given in the documentation. Which are the ones that will work with a distributed-scheme and read-write-backing-map-scheme?
3) If transactional-schemes cannot work with distributed-scheme, what is the best way to have a distributed cache with a oracle database as a cache store?
<caching-scheme-mapping>
<cache-mapping>
<cache-name>id<cache-name>
<scheme-name>example-transactional<scheme-name>
</cache-mapping>

</read-write-backing-map-scheme>
</backing-map-scheme>
<autostart>true</autostart>
</distributed-scheme>

Hi,
If you look at the documentation for transactional-scheme here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24290_01/coh.371/e22837/appendix_cacheconfig.htm#BHCIABHA
you will see that it says The transactional-scheme element defines a transactional cache, which is a specialized distributed cache. That means that a transactional-scheme is already a distributed-scheme.
You will see from the same documentation above that there is no way in a transactional-scheme to configure things like cache-stores or listeners or even the backing-map-scheme as these are not supported on a transactional-scheme - so you cannot use a cache store.
Personally I would not use transactional-scheme unless you have some really big reason to do so - the restrictions far outweigh any perceived advantage of having a transaction. There are better ways to build applications so they do not require transactions, that is what we have been doing for years with Coherence so far, and there is no real reason to change that.

Runinstaller (oracle database) hangs the zone and global zone

We have recently installed a Solaris 10 (Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10s_u10wos_17b SPARC) on the SPARC T4 and create two zones out of it.
We tried to install oracle database on the zone by running the installer (tried xclock and it works very well so display is not a problem).
Not only the zone was hang the entire Global zone SPARC server was hang and the only way to bring the system back is to power on and off it.

Where should one install Oracle Database and the Grid Infrastructure in order to adhere to OFA?

I've downloaded the two zipped install folders for Oracle Database, and the two zipped install folders for the Grid Infrastructure. The book I'm following for installation says to use one directory for the database, and one directory for the Grid Infrastructure, but it doesn't explain where they should be located in OFA. Presumably they should both end up somewhere in the same Oracle Base (since everything Oracle related on a single file system should go in the same base, according to my understanding), but it isn't clear where they should be installed in relation to each other. For example, is the Grid Infrastructure a separate product that gets its own Oracle Home? Can anyone shed light on this process?
Also, does it matter to which location the zipped files are unzipped? For example, are any of these files used after the installation process, or does OFA only care about post-installation location?

I think this links may be helpful -- ORACLE-BASE - Oracle Database 11g Release 2 RAC On Oracle Linux 5.8 Using VirtualBox, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/hunter-rac11gr2-iscsi-088677.html.
OFA -- Optimal Flexible Architecture standard. The standard is a set of configuration guidelines created to ensure well organized Oracle installations that are easier to maintain (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/app_ofa.htm#LADBI440).
It relates to location of the grid and dbms files location. Actually you should specify base directory and follow installer. System will be installed in correct directories.
It does not matter where you will unzip your distributives. You may delete them after installation to free space.

How can i do a RMAN backup of my database from the network ?

i'm using oracle 8i.1.7.3 with win server 2003
i want to know how can i do a RMAN backup of my database (sever machine A) from the network.
i'd like to save the backup in another machine (the same LAN, the same OS ).
to do that i've mapped a logical device in my comptur (z):
when i run rman command i got this error:
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting piece 1 at .......

Hi,
ORA-19504: failed TO CREATE file "\\remote\save\"make sure you have created this directory and change it's ownership (chown command)to oracle.
also make sure that oracle user has permission to write to this direcotry (chmod command)
hope this helps

Does BAM works with only Oracle database at the backend.

Hi, I was wondering if Oracle Bussiness Activity Monitor(BAM) implemented within ADF application works with Oracle database as Oracle database is one of the very few databases supporting Database Change Notification? Or can it be implemented using MySQL database etc.
Thanks!
Edited by: 996574 on Jun 3, 2013 2:06 PM

AFAIK only Oracle db supports Database Change Notification.

Saving an Image to an Oracle Database over the Internet

I would like to know how to transfer an image over the Internet and save that image to an Oracle Database. That is I am trying to make it so that a user can connect to the Internet and select an image file form their PC in TIFF, JPEG, or some other format. Next, I would like to save this image to an Oracle 7.3.4 Database in a LongRaw data type. This image will need to be save into a certain record in a table that I created. In the next few months we will be upgrading to Oracle 8 that uses Blob data type. Any one who knows how this can be done, please let me know.

Yes, that's right. Here is the pertinent code:
In the flax app:
private function captureImg(imgEnc:IImageEncoder):void {
var ohSnap:ImageSnapshot;ohSnap = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(img, 0, imgEnc);
textArea.text = ImageSnapshot.encodeImageAsBase64(ohSnap);
InsertImage(textArea.text);
In the HTTP service AS module:
private
function InsertImage(sImageCoded:String):void { var sQry:String;sQry =
"INSERT INTO image (lImageId, blbBitMap, txtImage, lRecipeId) " sQry +=
"VALUES(0, '" +sImageCoded +"', 'text', 23)"
//Alert.show(sQry);mysqlQuery(sQry,
"InsertImage");}
As mentioned previously, an HTTPrequest error is generated although I can enter
the string into the blob manually in MySQL.

Find out all oracle databases on the system

hi
i want to list all the oracle databases existing on the system.Not all the table list but the database list for Oracle.
Can anyone help in this matter. I would be thankful.
trushant

Assuming you really mean databases (as distinguished by different SIDs or service names), I don't think there's any way to that with JDBC; you have to know the name of the database before you can connect to it.
If you mean the list of all schemas (which are called databases in other database products) then you can inspect the ALL_TABLES table:
SELECT DISTINCT OWNER
FROM ALL_TABLES;This won't list all schemas, but it will list all schemas that the connecting user has access to (if there's a table in the schema); users with DBA privileges see everything, of course. You could also look at the ALL_USERS table.
If neither of those answer the question you're asking, please clarify what you mean.

Discover Oracle 8i Database

Dear all,
I'm back with a new issue. I updated my Grid Control to 10.2.0.4. I installed a new agent 10.2.0.4 on a Sun Server.My host is discovered but impossible to discover Oracle Database 8i located on this server. No error message, just wait, wait, wait and nothing appears.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I found some errors in emagent_perl.trc, in fact, there's a bad database (old one) and the agent is lost.

How to automate the Oracle database start and shutdown process

How we can automate and oracle database start and stop procees with Linux start/shutdown process.
I want to automatically start the oracle database at the time linux server and shutdown the database on shutdown linux server.

Hi,
I can share my scripts:
1) /home/oracle/start_oracle.sh
#Script should be ran as Oracle user
cd /tmp
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/ora9i
lsnrctl start
sqlplus -S /nolog <<ENDSQL
connect / as sysdba
startup
exit
ENDSQL
emctl start dbconsole
isqlplusctl start
NOTE: emctl and isqlplus are optional
2) /home/oracle/stop_oracle.sh
#Script should be ran as Oracle user
cd /tmp
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/ora9i
isqlplusctl stop
emctl stop dbconsole
sqlplus -S /nolog <<ENDSQL
connect / as sysdba
shutdown immediate
exit
ENDSQL
lsnrctl stop
NOTE: emctl and isqlplus are optional
Then what you need:
1) K91oracle_stop (put it in the desired run level)
#!/bin/bash
# description: Stop Oracle before reboots
su - oracle -c "/home/oracle/stop_oracle.sh" >> /home/oracle/stoporacle.log
2) S91oracle_start (put it in the desired run level)
#!/bin/bash
# description: Start Oracle after reboots
su - oracle -c "/home/oracle/start_oracle.sh" >> /home/oracle/startoracle.log

Thanks, Kuassi

Hi Kuassi,
Thanks for letting us know that your book is available. I have been following one of your articles about "Virtualize Your Oracle Database with Web Services". More specifically "The Database as Web Services Consumer". I think that this is an area that has in the past been under estimated as to the potential benefits.
I am currently trying to develop a solution that consumes several interfaces with a couple of them being published web services, so an ideal solution. I have then spent the last three weeks having to read up about the architecture of Java in the database, Jpublisher and make sense of how it all works together.
I have got very close to getting one of the web services to work but failed due to using 10gR2 where all the java & libraries has moved to version 1.5. The solution is to load the jdk1.4.2 and configure jpublisher to use this. So far so good except this is not available on some platforms, Windows - 64 bit (not itanium).
The configuration is proving very challenging but will hopefully reap rewards.
(Thought I would give you some background to my experience).
Anyway my question to you is having looked at Jdeveloper it appears to do almost anything except consume services into the database, also with Java now being at version 1.5 outside the database for 10gR2 and supporting 1.4 inside, do you see some alignment of these in future database releases?
Finally off to buy your book now as no doubt there is a huge amount more to learn.
Kind Regards

How to create the oracle database for MDM

Hello Friends,
I am new to MDM technology. I have been asked to install MDM 5.5 on windows with oracle database.
i have gone through the installation guides and master guide of MDM. But in the installation the procedure is not given to create the data base after oracle installation. i want to know do i need to create the database manually if yes then what should be the DBSID of the database and schema name etc.
Please help.
Thanks,
Manoj

Well, let's rock.
Oracle database creation
Use Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (Start -> Programs -> ...) to create a new database.
The database naming (on Step 3) is up to you. I used MDM as for SID and MDM.<MYHOSTNAME>.<MYDOMAIN> as for the db name.
Be sure you select UTF8 for the character set (on Step 12) - this requirement is mentioned in the SAP MDM Installation Guide.
All other settings can go default.
Listener and TNS name configuration
The next step is to configure a listener and tns name for your database.
Run the Oracle Net Configuration Assistance and select the "Listener configuration". Default settings on the wizard pages should suite your configuration.
Click Finish.
Run the Oracle Net Configuration Assistance again and select the "Local Service Name configuration". Add one. Choose the name of the database for the service name. It was MDM.<MYHOSTNAME>.<MYDOMAIN> for me.
Ensure that you use name of the database that you've entered during the database creation.
Everything else should go as suggested by default.
Once you are at the Test stage of the wizard and get the "invalid login/password" message, clisk "Change login" and use SYSTEM user and the password you\ve entered during databae creation.
After the test passes, you can connect to your Oracle database through the MDM Console.
Please, let me know if you have any questions, I'll help.
Thanks!

How to configure portal server with the Backend Oracle database

Hi Portal Experts,
we are planning to install Netweaver 04s sp stack 9 full java edition with Oracle 8i on windows platform.
we have the installation docs of portal but we didn't have any idea about how to configure Portal server with the Backend Oracle database at the time of installation or after ost installation of portal.can anyone provide the documentation about this or guide me how to achieve this.
PLZ share ur views---your help would be highly appreciable.
Regds
Phani.

HI
if you r working in Sap enterprise portal use for connection url
jdbc:sap:sqlserver://ilsql01.tlv.sap.corp:1433;DatabaseName=Northwind
ilsql01.tlv.sap.corp:1433 this is your portal url with port number
Northwind is your database name.
for dirver you need to give
com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
in case if you r working on other than sap say windows along with oracle try to use
Connection URL as jdbc:oracle:<drivertype>:@<database>
Driver name as oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
ex jdbc:oracle:thick:@localhost:3036:mydb
Oracle implements two types of JDBC drivers:
Thick JDBC drivers built on top of the C-based Net8 client, as well as a Thin (Pure Java) JDBC driver to support downloadable applets. Oracle JDBC drivers are used to create JDBC applications to communicate with Oracle databases.
Oracle extensions to JDBC include the following features:
Data access and manipulation
LOB access and manipulation
Oracle object type mapping
Object reference access and manipulation
Array access and manipulation
Application performance enhancement
