DUMP files on UNIX

i have my Developer Suite 9i application running under UNIX. In the path where the exceutable files are there, some files like dump ones are getting created with the format:
f90webm_dump_<pid> where pid is the process identifier
Can i remove these files because these are occupying space on the UNIX server. Please help in solving my doubt as i need it resolved urgently.

1. which user i should use to search and destroy?! root-user or SYSID-User?!
Always use the user with the least permissions to do the job, don't use root if your sidadm can do it. If you want to find / delete SAP files use sidadm.
2. I found no core files and the harddisk is still 100% full, what files might also cause this problem
In your first post you wrote that /usr/sap/SID/INST/work dir is full, it is most likely that some trace files got to large. Check for files like dev_*, dew_w0 for example is the trace file of work process 0, dev_disp is the trace of the dispatcher and so on. You either have to increase the size of the filesystem, or find the cause for the growing file. It can be due to an increased trace level.
3. What on database-side could cause this problems?! can i search for sth here.
This does not look like a database issue so far.
4. i was unable to use the given scripts (noob!), what can i do else?!
Which one, please post what you typed and the error you got.
Best regards, Michael

Is there anyway we can check the validity of dump file in Unix system

Hi,
I have taken export of 2 tables which are huge in volume. one of the table seems to be successfully exported yet another one failed due to space scarcity. Since both the tables share a single dumpfile.
I wanted to know.
1. Can we use the same dumpfile to import the table which is successfull or it can not be used because the second table got error while exporting?
2. Is there any way we can check the validity of dumpfile in unix plateform.
Your reply is highly appreciated.

Please check the export log backup. If it says that export terminated successfully, then the dump may be fine.

Reading XML file from UNIX

Output chinese character to CSV file in UNIX

Hi
I encountered ABAP dump whenever output chinese character to CSV file in UNIX in ECC6. Error show as
"At the conversion of a text from codepage '4102' to codepage '1100':
- a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
codepages;
- or it was detected that this conversion is not supported"
The program with coding of statement OPEN DATASET xxxxx FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE. Reason to output to OPEN statement to non-unicode as users would like to open the csv file thru Excel directly. They do not wish to open the text file in Excel. Can Experts please share with me how to overcome the problem?
Thanks
Kang Ring

May be you could give a try with the following code and check
OPEN DATASET xxxxx FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE CODEPAGE '4103'.

Size of export dump file

I read an article on EXPORT of dump file cannot over the limit of 2Gig. This is because prior to 8.1.3 there is no large file support for Oracle Import, Export, or SQL*Loader utilties.
How bout the current version? 9i or 10g? Can the exp dump file be larger than 2G?

Under AIX Unix, there is a fsize parameter for every user in /etc/security/limits file. if fsize = -1 then user will have authority to create any file size. But to do this change, you should have root access under Unix enviroment.

Dbms_datapupm, dump file permissions

Oracle 11.2.0.2
Using dbms_datapipe APIs I can successfully create the dump file. However, that file does not have read or write permissions, so the UNIX user can not zip and ftp the file as required, not can it chmod the permissions. Please, advise. Thanks.

Use ACLs. For example:
hpux > # whoami
hpux > whoami
oradba
hpux > # Create directory /tmp/acl_test for datapump files
hpux > mkdir /tmp/acl_test

How can a non dba user manipulate the dump file outside of oracle ?

I have a business request to allow a none DBA database user to dump his tables and he can move his dump file on the Unix box from a file system to another file system. This user has a none oracle unix account. When using traditional exp, this is not a problem. But in expdp, all dump files are owned by oracle. Does anybody know how to change the ownership without a DBA involved?

How to write a file into UNIX!

Hi Group!
I am trying to write an error file into UNIX directory using 'OPEN DATASET ERRFILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT'. But unfortunately i am getting a dump as it is giving the subrc 8 and dumping with CX_SY_FILE_OPEN_MODE.
The path looks like /sap/DE1/batch/data/SCM_YM/partfiles/HGMEH011.20071001150344
Is there any special command or way to write the file into UNIX?
Quick response would be of great help.
Suresh

The detailed error is
The file '&FILENAME&' was not opened, or was opened in the wrong mode.
Can you please try to create a new file that does not exist.
then we can check whether you have authorization or not.
OPEN DATASET to a file already opened - in the same internal mode - triggers the exception.
THtas why you just create a file with some rough name ( may be ur name) intially and then check.
bye sasi

Export larger dump file in small drive

Hello Everybody,
I want to take the export of 100GB database (Dump file will come approx 50 to 60 GB) to the drive having 40GB space .Is it possible.
Thanks in Advance

No version, no platform... Why? Too difficult? Strain on your fingers?
The answer is platform and version dependent!
Anyway: on 9i and before : Winblows: Set the compression attribute of the directory or drive you plan to compress to, make sure this attribute is inherited.
Unix: export to a pipe, compress the input of this pipe.
Scripts are floating on this forum and on the Internet everywhere (also on Metalink) everyone should be able to find them with little effort.
On 10g: expdp can generate compressed exports.

Redirect core dump file

This seems like a fairly simple problem, but I cannot seem to find it in any searches...
How can I set the core (or heap) dump directory to "/usr/scratch" instead of the current directory. I running 1.4.2 for now.
Thanks for any help!

Hi, Im not familiar with heap dumps so i apologize if this isnt helpful...
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/alanb?entry=heap_dumps_are_back_with
If you don't want big dump files in the application working directory then the HeapDumpPath option can be used to specify an alternative location - for example -XX:HeapDumpPath=/disk2/dumps will cause the heap dump to be generated in the /disk2/dumps directory.
https://hat.dev.java.net/doc/README.html
For example, to run the program Main and generate a binary heap profile in the file dump.hprof, use the following command:
java -Xrunhprof:file=dump.hprof,format=b Main
also:
http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/infolibrary/prog_guide/hotspot.html
-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemory
The HeapDumpOnOutOfMemory command line option causes the JVM to dump a snapshot of the Java heap when an Out Of Memory error condition has been reached. The heap dump format generated by HeapDumpOnOutOfMemory is in hprof binary format, and is written to filename java_pid<pid>_<.hprof in the current working directory. The option -XX:HeapDumpPath=<file>_< can be used to specify the dump filename or the directory where the dump file is created. Running with application with -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError does not impact performance. Please note the following known issue: The HeapDumpOnOutOfMemory option does not work with the low-pause collector (-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC). This option is available starting with the 1.4.2.11 and 1.5.0.04 releases.

Compressed dump file while export on Windows!

Hi All
Could someone suggest how do we take and compressed dump file while exporting on Windows environment with oracle 9.2.0.6.Please specify the exact syntax how to proceed on this.
Thanks
Bala.

I don't think that exp tool can compress the export file it is creating (the compress parameter has nothing to do with the export file but with the way the database objects are going to be created in the target database).
If you run export under Unix, there is a possibility to use Unix pipes to compress the export file during the export using Unix commands (compress or gzip for example). I don't know how to do something similar under Windows I have some doubts about this possibility.

Error while importing a dump file in Oracle 10g R1

Hi all,
While trying to import a schema using Data Dump, I am facing the following issue -
UDI-00018 - Import utility version can not be more recent than the Data Dump server.
Following is the version information of the source and target DB and the utilities :
Source DB server : 10.1.0.2.0
Export utility : 10.1.0.2.0
Import utility : 10.1.0.2.0
Target DB server : 10.1.0.2.0
Export utility : 10.2.0.1.0
Import utility : 10.2.0.1.0
I can figure out the cause for the problem, but don't know how to resolve it.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Srinath,
When i observed the create table syntax of external table from import dump log file, it show few lines as below. I could not understand these special characters. And create table definationis failing with special character viz ORA-00911: invalid character

I even observed the create table DDL from TOAD. It is same as i mentioned earlier
