using this I can connect and see the data from 10g TMAPP
I have created two views
create or replace view user_menu_privs as

where user_group in
(select user_group from user_dst

after that I set the global_names in 11g as TRUE
then I am getting another error as

That is because when global_names is TRUE, the database link name MUST be same as the global db name of the database to which the link connects to.
You need to drop the database link and recreate it using the global name of the database it connects to.
'link name MUST be same as the global db name of the database to which the link connects to.' - I didn't say 11g.
And I didn't say 'put 11g database global_name=true' because you had already done that! 'after that I set the global_names in 11g as TRUE.
1. 11g - global_names MUST be TRUE
2. 11g - database link name MUST be the same as the global db name of the database to which the link connects to - 10g global db name
3. 10g - gloibal_names setting is irrelevant

Global_names parameter. True or false?

Hello,
One of my projects has a live database and a test database, where both have been set up through the DBCA in exactly the same way. I have set up a remote database link for each one successfully.
Only question is one of them i have set the global_names parameter to true and it works fine, while the other database the remote database link would only work when the global_names parameter was set to false. This was after i attempted to create the database link with the same name as the target database.
Can anyone throw any light on why this is the case please?
Thanks in advance

GLOBAL_NAMES specifies whether a database link is required to have the same name as the database to which it connects. If the value of GLOBAL_NAMES is FALSE, then no check is performed. Oracle recommends setting this parameter to TRUE to ensure the use of consistent naming conventions for databases and links.

Location of Parameter File (pfile)

Hello,
I like to know, does Oracle stores the location of Parameter file (pfile) in any of the object?
Thanks

Yes if you use the Oracle Parallel server option.
By default an instance will start a database in exclusive mode and no other instance will be able to attach to the database.
To start multiple instances on the same db you need to start them in parallel:
startup pfile=$ORACLE_BASE/admin/sid1/initsid1.ora PARALLEL
then after changing your ORACLE_SID:
startup pfile=$ORACLE_BASE/admin/sid2/initsid2.ora PARALLEL
Note: There is actually alot more involved then this. See the Oracle Parallel Server documentation for your version at http://tahiti.oracle.com

Significance of Global_names parameter in Oracle CDC and Oracle Streams

Hi,
I am trying to implement a sample Oracle CDC example.
I read in some examples that we need to set a parameter *'global_names= TRUE'*. (which means that all dblink names should be same as their respective database names)
But my doubt is that what will happen if i use the default value 'FALSE' for this parameter without changing it to 'TRUE'.
Is it mandatory to make 'global_names= TRUE' ?
Could anyone please explain this.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Gowreesh.

Hi Sybrand,
Thanks for the reply.
Currently there are some dblinks in my database(with dblink names different from the database).
My concern is,
If i make global_names=TRUE, then all my earlier dblinks with that database will not work.
and if I DONOT make global_names= TRUE, then i will not be able to work with Oracle CDC/Streams with the database.
I am looking to find out any work around to overcome this deadlock type of situation.
I would be very thankful if you can give some idea to come out of this problem.
Regards,
Gowreesh

LINK to Database with different GLOBAL_NAME

Could anybody help me? We have two databases with different GLOBAL_NAME parameter. First database has GLOBAL_NAME=true, second - 'false'. I would like to make LINK from first database to second. If I make link name as a simple word ('DBST'- for example), ORACLE adds DOMAIN name and connects with error ORA-02085. Second database doesn't use DOMAIN name.
Thanks

Cluster_Database parameter in init file

Hi All,
I have received one cluster environment backup so when I start with restore operation, I have created pfile and provide list of required parameters. There is one parameter called cluster_database which I set to TRUE. When I want to start database in nomount mode with created pfile it failed with ORA-03113. If I removed cluster_database parameter from pfile then there is no error and DB started in nomout mode.
Does it mean that given backup is from non-cluster environment? Please guide..
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
During restore of database yes, I prefer to opt for working on single node instead of cluster. Coming to issue of startup (during the non-recovery operation), if you are facing then that could be different (needs to check across/verify the parameters)
- Thanks

How to rename global_name to NEW_DBSID after System Copy

Hello,
I changed SID D22 to S11 during system copy.The System Copy guide recommends to rename global_name on Oracle.
I have some questions.
1) Is the following procedure correct?
SQL>alter database rename global_name to S11;
2) If I do not rename global_name, what happens?
I refer to the guide "Homogeneous and Heterogeneous
System Copy for SAP Systems Based
on SAP Web Application Server
ABAP 6.40 SR1".
6.2 Performing Follow-On Actions in the
Target System
Oracle: If you changed the <DBSID> during the system copy, it is recommended to adapt the global_name parameter with the following SQL command:
alter database rename global_name to <NEW_DBSID>;
If the parameter is not existing on your system, ignore this step.
thanks,
Keishi

Hello Keishi,
just for information.. the official oracle documentation about that topic:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/ds_admin.htm
> 1) Is the following procedure correct?
Here is a test in my MDD test database:
SQL> SELECT * FROM GLOBAL_NAME;
GLOBAL_NAME
MDD.WORLD
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RENAME GLOBAL_NAME TO MDD2.WORLD;
Database altered.
SQL> SELECT * FROM GLOBAL_NAME;
GLOBAL_NAME
MDD2.WORLD
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RENAME GLOBAL_NAME TO MDD.WORLD;
Database altered.
SQL> SELECT * FROM GLOBAL_NAME;
GLOBAL_NAME
MDD.WORLD
> 2) If I do not rename global_name, what happens?
If you use a distributed database system, you need to identify each database by a unique identifier (the global name).
For more information, take a look at the oracle documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/ds_concepts.htm#i1007500

GLOBAL_NAME

Hi,
If we set the GLOBAL_NAMES parameter to TRUE, then we have to give the dblinks the same name as the remote database. That is the fact. But a dblink is a connection to only a schema for the remote db. If I have to create multiple dblinks to multiple schemas of the remote db, how to do it?
Thanks,

CREATE DATABASE LINK TEST2 CONNECT TO USER2 IDENTIFIED BY PASS2 USING 'LINK2';

How to startup the database from pfile?

Hi guys.
hope all of you fine.
how to startup the database from pfile?
Thanks.

You can create pfile from spfile
SQL>create pfile='/tmp/pfile.ora' from spfile;
then
SQL>startup pfile='/tmp/pfile.ora';
You can edit pfile.ora file and startup your database with this newly changed database parameter using pfile
And you can define you're using pfile or spfile by issuing:
SQL> show parameter spfile;

InitSID.ora file parameter

Hi ,
We using ECC 6.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.2 , we need to change the parameter db_cache_sie from 294 mb to 1 gb , So i edit the file and change the parameter . Then i restart the system . After restart the system i checked the parameter it will changed to 1gb . But today i just checked the parameter , it will show the old parameter 294 mb .
So kindly tell me what is happening and tell me the solution to change the parameter .
Regards
Selvan

Hi ,
Oracle 10g always use spfile for the purpose of maintaining database parameters .So you want to make any changes then first you need to create pfile from spfile because you cannot make changes directly in spfile as its not recommended by oracle.
So first change pfile from spfile by givind command create pfile from spfile via sql prompt .Then modify the parameter in pfile & again give command create spfile from pfile & restart your databse to make the changes effective.
Or the best solution to change the database parameter is to change via sql prompt prompt eg::
alter system set <parameter>=<value> scope=spfile
Thanks..

Hidden parameters appears after Oracle 11gR2 upgrade

Platform: HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64
Upgrading from: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
Upgrading to : Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
Issue : There are around 130 hidden parameter appear after Oracle 11gR2 upgrade.
Before upgrade I have commented the hidden parameters on the PFILE. PFILE only to start the database for the Oracle 11gR2 upgrade.
Before upgrade, checking the hidden parameter:
SQL> SELECT name,description from SYS.V$PARAMETER WHERE name LIKE '\_%' ESCAPE '\';
optimizerextended_cursor_sharing_rel
optimizer extended cursor sharing for relational operators
allowlevel_without_connect_by
allow level without connect by
I am using client parameter file ( PFILE ) commented the hidden parameters highlighted above.
However after successful upgrade to 11gR2, creating SPFILE from the PFILE ( commented the hidden parameters) now i am getting 132 hidden parameters.
SQL> select count(1) from sys.V$PARAMETER where name like '\_%' escape '\';

I just came across a similar case: 1 (just one) of our (RAC-) databases has 130-something underscore-parameters set to non-default values.
version is still 11.1.0.7 (e.g. not 11gR2).
All of those hidden parameters seem to be CBO related (list on request).
Weird is: Only one of our (very similar, supposedly same-config) databases have these hidden parameters set.
Colleagues justly wonder: Who, When, What has caused these parameters to be expliclty set for this one system?
Note: we do not have the complete history of this system documented (systems have been managed by 3 different parties already).
It is quite possible they came in with some patch or upgrade (catupgr?) somewhere between 11.1.0.1 and 11.1.0.7, but a confirmation would be nice.
Information welcome.

The above INSERT has been reduced down to bare minimum with the following error occurring :
HES_Common.f_string_field('X', 1),
ERROR at line 18:
ORA-02069: global_names parameter must be set to TRUE for this operation
SQL>
The abc_hesids table exists in database A and this insert is running in database B. A database link exists such that abc_hesids is a synonym for the table of the same name in database A.
I want Oracle to insert into the table in database A but use the package HES_Common in database B. I think this is possible but have not done this sort of thing for a while. Note : the package HES_Common exists in both databases A and B
Any ideas on how to get Oracle to use the local version of the package - do I have to get the DBA to change global_names to TRUE ??

ORA-02069 global_names parameter must be set to TRUE for this operation
Cause: A remote mapping of the statement is required but cannot be achieved because GLOBAL_NAMES should be set to TRUE for it to be achieved.
Action: Issue ALTER SESSION SET GLOBAL_NAMES = TRUE if possible.

How to Execute a Remote Procedure in Portal using Database Link

Hi,
I followed the instructions to create a Portal form for a remote procedure. But I am encountering the following error. Can someone advise what may be the cause?
Failed to execute - Missing string(create_package_body) language(us) domain (wwv) sub_domain (wwv_builder) (WWV-04300)
ORA-04020: deadlock detected while trying to lock object PUBLIC.PORTLET_SCHEMA (WWV-11230)
Failed to parse as PORTAL - (WWV-08300)
PURPOSE
How to execute a remote procedure in Portal using Database Link.
DESCRIPTION
This procedure assumes that you have two databases, one of which is remote, and Portal is configured in the other.
Remote Database A:
==================
1) Create a procedure as follows: Create or Replace PROCEDURE SCOTT.ADD_TWO_VALUES ( v_one IN NUMBER, v_two IN NUMBER, v_result OUT NUMBER) as begin v_result :=v_one+v_two; end; 2) Grant execute privileges to PUBLIC on the procedure.
Database B (where Portal is configured): ========================================
1) Create a public database link and choose to connect as a specific user (say SYSTEM). By default, in an Oracle 8i database, the "global_names" parameter in initSID.ora (or init.ora) file is set to "true". This Global Naming parameter enforces that a dblink has the same name as the database it connects to. Therefore, if the remote global database (A) name is "ora8.acme.com" then the database link should also be named as "ora8.acme.com".
2) Create a synonym for the procedure in Database A. Make sure you fully qualify the procedure name in the remote database (like SCOTT.ADD_TWO_VALUES).
3) Create a dynamic page to execute the procedure. The ORACLE tags in the dynamic page will look similar to the following: <ORACLE> DECLARE v_total NUMBER; BEGIN ADD_TWO_VALUES(:v_one,:v_two, v_total); htp.p('The total is => '); htp.p('<input type="TEXT" VALUE='||v_total||'>'); htp.para; htp.anchor('http://<machine.domain:port#>/pls/portal30/SCOTT.DYN_ADD_TWO_VALUES.show_parms', 'Re-Execute Procedure'); END; </ORACLE>
4) Portal does not have an option to create a form based on a synonym. Therefore, if you want to create a form instead of a dynamic page, create a wrapper procedure and then create a form based on this procedure. For example: Create or Replace PROCEDURE PORTAL30.ADD_TWO_VALUES_PR ( v_one IN NUMBER, v_two IN NUMBER, v_total OUT NUMBER) as begin add_two_values(v_one, v_two, v_total); end;
5) Grant execute privileges to PUBLIC on the procedure.
