Getting ORA-17629 and ORA-17627 during setting up of data guard

Hi All,
I am working on data guard setup, and getting ORA-17629 and ORA-17627. The orapwd file was copied to DR server, but still getting the same error when doing a duplicate database command.

What do you mean he chose his and your number during setup. Chose them for what? Is you number showing up in the Settings>Messages>"You can be reached by imessage at" section? If it is he needs to remove it.

Logical goes down for some reason and it can't be recovered.(data guard)

This is not an issue, just wanted to know how this can be done.
Logical goes down and it can't be recovered. How can one recreate the logical standby?
Is this a fresh restore of primary? what are the steps to follow?
Thanks in advance.

For Physical standby, since it's block to block identical with primary. You could use backup of primary to recover physical standby. There's usually no need to backup physical standby.
For logical standby, since you could have other schema hosted on it in addition to the one that protected by data guard. It's good idea to have separate backup from primary.
Otherwise, rebuild from primary is always an option.

Getting ora-01756 during IMPORT of (packaged) application

Hi experts,
I am trying to install one of the packaged apps from otn into my APEX 3.1 on XE under WinXP and get the following error.
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of statement was unsuccessful. ORA-01756: ...
Error installing application.
Same thing happens when IMPORING an app into the same Workspace from which I have EXPORTED it.
It installs properly on apex.oracle.com!!
Possibly it has to do with NLS SETTINGS for Switzerland?
Grand separator in numerical characters could be '
Any ideas, anyone with the same problems?
Thanks in front,
Lutz

I have found a workaround:
instead of using a Swiss OS I installed a German version of WIN XP
now everything works fine.
I guess it has to do with a ' which is missing somewhere in the code.
With Swiss locale ' is used as a grand separator which might cause the ORA-01756 thrown by the installer.

I am getting ORA-02063 error while copying bulk data from DBLINK

Hi all ,
I am trying to copy data from DBlink ,whenever i am trying to pull more data ,The db link break down ,
I have try to put /*+ APPEND */ (Hint) in insert statement.Below is the insert code from my procedure
from where i am getting below error
"Error in copy_data_pkg-3113 ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
ORA-02063: preceding line from TESTDBLINK"
Insert code:
INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO target_tab

col1,
col2,

col5,
o_time
FROM padmin.V_tab1@testdblink
    where
trunc (sysmodtime) = trunc(sysdate)-1
and O_time >= al_time
and (CLEAR_TIME is null or CLEAR_TIME >= occur_time)
    and (res_code is null or (UPPER(res_code) not LIKE '%TEST TT%' and UPPER(res_code) not LIKE '%TEST SITE%'))
    and ((UPPER(BRIEF_DESC) not like '%TEST TT%' and UPPER(BRIEF_DESC) not LIKE '%TEST SITE%'))

    and catvar IN('POS')
and UPPER(action_var) not like '%SC_NET%' and UPPER(action) not like '%ROAM_NET%' and UPPER(action) not like '%PUP_NET%';
COMMIT ;
Please suggest me ,why i am getting this error.

Can you elaborate the thing... I don't think /*+ APPEND */ this is working for me ,still I am getting same error.
If you have any other suggestion,I would like to hear.
Should i not put commit after some 500 records inserted ? As i am putting commit once after whole data gets inserted.

Getting the context and host name during initialization

I am trying to find a way to get the Context path and the host name during the ContextInitialized event, but without any luck. I think it is very strange that you can not even find the context path or the host name of the application you are running yourself.
Does anybody have an idea?

What I mean are the configuration elements which are put in the server.xml
The BIG problem with the getServletContextName is that this returns the name which is put in the web.xml. But I have a web application which is generic and only some config parameters should be altered. Thats why I need to now in which context I am.
I think the deployment of web applications is wrong by design. I have to specify deployment information inside the application package which in fact should be presented to the servlet container separately. It's like installing new applications on a computer. It should be possible to create 1 installation file (read a web archive) and then specify the location where you want to install it while deploying it (read specify the host name, context location etc.) Now these two are mixed together which I think is wrong.
Besides the above problem, I think it is also not correct to let users specify properties while configuring a context (either in the server.xml or the web.xml) and then not having an equivelant in the object model (Read the ServletContext object).

ORA-04031 during export on CTX-index

Hi !
I get ORA-04031 during export when an interMedia CTX-Index should get exported. The exact error message is:
unable to allocate 4072 bytes of shared memory ("shared pool", "DBMS_SYS_SQL", "PL/SQL MPCODE", "BAMIMA: BAM Buffer")
followed by

Any hints for me what I could do?

Interesting. You should open a thread with a more relevant title about views with pk / fk constraints.
I don't have a way to solve your problem --- to identify such views.

Problem during the setting the query data source name in forms 6i

We are now doing assignments in forms 6i actually there is a problem during setting the query data source name in run time.
The problem is
declare
v_query varchar2(200),
begin
v_query :='(select empno,ename,deptno from emp where hiredate =' || control .value1 ||')';
go_block('emp');
set_block_property('emp',query_data_source_name,v_query);
end;
that bolded area is the problem that ia varchar value the single qoutes embedded with that value.how can i embedded single qoutes in that concatenation.
That is now query will run like select empno,ename,deptno from emp where hiredate =control.value
But we need like select empno,ename,deptno from emp where hiredate ='control.value'

Thanks for your response
We fixed the error
and the answer is
declare
v_query varchar2(200),
begin
v_query :='(select empno,ename,deptno from emp where hiredate = ' ' ' || control .value1 ||' ' ' ) ' ;
go_block('emp');

OS and DB upgrades to databases under data guard

Hello,
Here is the scenario. I have an OPS db and a physical standby of OPS. Platform is solaris 9 with both a 9i instance and a 10g instance. I want to be able to do a switchover of the ops to the standby and then upgrade the standby. I believe that I can upgrade the OS to solaris 10 with no problems. However, I also want to be able to upgrade the 9i instance to 10gR2. Is it possible to do an upgrade of this degree to a standby under data guard? At the point that the db upgrade has completed data guard will no longer have the same configuration. This scenario is starting to send off alarms to me. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hi,
Is it possible to do an upgrade of this degree to a standby under data guard? Yes. Steve Karam does it all the time, and he has these notes:
"Dataguard's physical backups are a GREAT DR situation for a failed upgrade. You will have an exact physical copy of your database ready to switchover to if anything goes wrong with the upgrade. Basically you switch your final archive log and shut down your primary, then begin the standard upgrade.
If something goes wrong, you can perform a failover on your standby server and you're back up with no possibility of inconsistencies since it's a physical backup. In my opinion, the only method better than DataGuard for a backup for upgrade scenario would be to use SAN tools like NetApp's snapMirror or Sun's
Availability Suite in order to back it up; these tools can snapshot a DB in a matter of seconds and are good for this sort of situation: if the upgrade goes wrong, simply restore the snapshot.
If you do it right, you can set up dataguard with only 5 minutes of downtime, then perform your database upgrade with only 5 minutes of downtime. I have done this method for clients in the past and they have been very happy with the results."
Bipul Kumar has a book devoted to using Data Guard, that you may find helpful, and he notes the steps for a Data Guard-based upgrade:
http://www.rampant-books.com/book_2004_2_dataguard.htm
"Upgrading to Oracle10g database software in a Data Guard environment involves the following activities:
If the Data Guard configuration is managed by Data Guard broker, the broker configuration needs to be removed using the existing version of database software. In other words, remove the Oracle9i configuration before upgrading to Oracle10g. Execute the following command after connecting to any site in the configuration using DGMGRL to remove the configuration:
REMOVE CONFIGURATION;
Install Oracle10g database software. The Data Guard feature is not available with the Standard edition, so the Enterprise edition must be installed. Additionally, install Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) 10.1 in order to manage the configuration using Data Guard Manager GUI interface, which is tightly integrated with OEM.
The primary and standby databases should be upgraded to Oracle10g. The log management services should be stopped during the primary database upgrade. All of the redo logs generated during the database upgrade should be applied manually on each standby database. For more information on upgrading to Oracle10g, refer to the documentation, “Oracle Database Upgrade Guide 10g Release 1(10.1)”.
Update the initialization parameter files or server parameter files on the primary database and all the standby databases to include the parameter db_unique_name. The database unique name must be identical on all the databases in a configuration.
Once all the databases in the Data Guard configuration are upgraded to Oracle10g, the broker configuration file will have to be created in order to manage it using Data Guard broker. Execute the following command, connecting to the primary database using DGMGRL, to recreate the broker configuration file and to add standby databases"
Also, see the docs, with their instructions:

Data Guard and XMLDB

Has anyone set up or can provide advise on using Data Guard and XMLDB?
Right off the top of my head I have a couple of questions:
Can we use Active Data Guard and XMLDB?
Can we use Logical Data Guard and XMLDB?

Yes and yes !
On a primary database we have a schema dedicated for xml.
We use xml in structured and unstrucutred mode (I mean the xmldb with the xml table that make you be able to load the xml in the database and modify it, and the other that is just putting xml in lob).
You just do your data guard for your database like another one. Working for us withtou any special things to do.

Ora-1555 during exports and imports. possible causes. ?

From my understanding : I know that this error will occur due to a undo retention being smaller sizer. or rather I should put it that increasing this parameter should help fix the issue.
Whats not clear is below :
Qn. Is it possible that ORA-1555 errors can occur during 'import' even if no other sessions are connected and performing any transaction/dmls ?
Qn. Also why does a ORA-1555 occur during a 'export' ? Is the same reasons ie. there could be possible DMLs occuring ?

Hello,
About your first question:
Qn. Is it possible that ORA-1555 errors can occur during 'import' even if no other sessions are connected and performing any transaction/dmls ?I've never got this error during import but, I always care to get enough place on the UNDO Tablespace.
With classical import you have a commit after each Table's import (by default) and a commit after each row's import if COMMIT=Y so as to use less space in the Rollback Segment.
With Datapump, I often decrease the undo_retention parameter before importing so as to use less space on the UNDO Tablespace.
About the second question:
Qn. Also why does a ORA-1555 occur during a 'export' ? Is the same reasons ie. there could be possible DMLs occuring ?To get a consistent image of the exported data with the classical export you may use the parameter CONSISTENT=Y. While you may use the FLASHBACK_TIME parameter with Datapump (so it means that the undo_retention should be large enough when exporting).
Both use the Undo entries, so I imagine that's possible to get some error (may be ORA-01555) if you don't have enough place on your UNDO Tablespace.
It's possible (thank to the Rollback Segments) to have concurrent DML on the database while exporting.
Anyway, from my point of view, while exporting or importing if you have enough space on your UNDO tablespace and a correct undo_retention setting (not too large when importing not too small when exporting) it should be fine.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin
