Hang database

In which case database will goes to hang mode ?
can anyone tell me scenario of the database hang ???
Thanks and Regards

Most common database instance hang whatever Oracle version whatever platform is:
$ oerr ora 257
00257, 00000, "archiver error. Connect internal only, until freed."
// *Cause: The archiver process received an error while trying to archive
//       a redo log. If the problem is not resolved soon, the database
//       will stop executing transactions. The most likely cause of this
//       message is the destination device is out of space to store the
//       redo log file.
// *Action: Check archiver trace file for a detailed description
//        of the problem. Also verify that the
//       device specified in the initialization parameter
//       ARCHIVE_LOG_DEST is set up properly for archiving.

Designer hangs Database Middleware Selection Page on Linux Server.

Hi All,
I am facing an issues with Designer XI 3.1 when i try to connect to Red hat Linux 4.
Whenever i try to create new connection or edit an existing one from the designer, the Designer screen just hangs at the Database Middlewatre Selection Page for about more than 90 minutes, but it eventually comes up.
When i tried the same with a Windows Server, it works fine.
Tried to set the hostname and ip address in the CMC but it does not help.
The Environment is clustered and there are two linux servers and whenever the connection servers are stopped it runs fast, but when the connection servers are stopped it works fine.
It also works when we login to designer in the no cms mode.
Please help.

we are facing the same issue but in the Windows Server

If shutdown immediate hangs database waits one hour for shutdown abort

we have schedules cold backup for our 11g database on redhat 5.3.
there is a shell script written with shutdown immediate command.
If database hangs during shutdown immediate database waits one hour for auto shutdown abort.
but this happens once or twice in a month
can we do this auto shutdown abort earlier than one hour ??

Since you're shutting down the database for cold backup so ensure it should be shutdown properly by shutdown or shutdown immediate cmd not by abort cmd.
Consistent backup:-
A backup taken when the database is mounted (but not open) after a normal shutdown. The checkpoint SCNs in the datafile headers match the header information in the control file. None of the datafiles has changes beyond its checkpoint. Consistent backups can be restored without recovery.

Java Program Hangs

Hi,
I am running into a strange problem. We have scheduled a Java program to using BQPlus scheduler. The program hangs some time at a particular statement, while most of the time it works. If we run it directly from command line it always works.
The statement where program hangs some time uses the put method of Properties object. I do not see any thing there which should make the program hang (Database connection or file read write).
I am using java version "1.4.2_02" on AIX
Any help on how to further investigate would be great!

Message transfer from Oracle DB to SAP R/3

Hi All,
I have a scenario in which i want to transfer an HR record from a table of OracleDB to SAP R/3 via a standard IDOC.
Can anybody pls tell me the following:
1. Requirements for implementing this scenario.
2. Oracle 8.0 is being used, so is there any version compatibility issue that i need to keep in mind.
3. Can i use BPM in this scenario.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Neetu

Neetu,
Can i use BPM in this scenario.
I dont think you need a BPM for this scenario. All you will need is a JDBC-- IDOC scenario where your SENDER JDBC adapter willpick the data from the database, map the source to the target IDOC and push it out using IDOC adapter.
Requirements for implementing this scenario.
Oracle Driver to be installed on your XI server,
IDX1, IDX2 settings on XI , Partner profile on R3 for receive the IDOC from XI.
. Oracle 8.0 is being used, so is there any version compatibility issue that i need to keep in mind.
Q: I have deployed the Oracle classes12.zip / classes12.jar JDBC driver as per the instructions in the XI Configuration Guide.
Unfortunately, I frequently notice hanging database connections. A thread dump taken according to the instructions in note 710154 shows one or more blocking JDBC Sender/Reciver threads and optionally that the JVM has detected a deadlock.
A: The Oracle classes12.zip / classes12.jar driver is compatible with Java 1.2 and Java 1.3 only, but not with Java 1.4. Please upgrade to a current driver (ojdbc14.jar), which does support the Java 1.4 JVM you are using.
Please make sure that you remove classes12.zip / classes12.jar from aii_af_jmsproviderlib.sda prior to adding the new driver as per the instructions in the answer to question #1 above as you will get a class name collision otherwise (all JARs from aii_af_jmsproviderlib.sda are loaded into the same class loader and the driver class name of both driver versions is the same).
Before deploying the updated driver, ensure that the new version is still compatible with your Oracle database server release. For details, please refer to the release notes provided by Oracle.

Interview questions for oracle dba

Hi I am trying to find teh interview questions for oracle dba .
What will be your answer to the following questions. Can somebody shed some light...
. What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
·     Did you use online or off-line backups?
·     What version of Oracle were you running?
·     Haw many databases and what sizes?
·     If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
·     If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
·     Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
Thx
KK

. What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
I have got a checklist, designed for my daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly tasks. For example, in the daily checklist tasks, I check for the alert log file, competion and correction of my exports and operating system backups. DB space situation, Antivirus status, standby database status, space on disks, any rogue queries etc.
· Did you use online or off-line backups?
Both.
· What version of Oracle were you running?
8i(not any more), 9i, 10g
· Haw many databases and what sizes?
8 databases, ranging from 1 TB to 10 GB. I have segregated them into OLTP production, testing, cm, and development and a Datawarehouse.
· If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
How much they could afford to lose data or they want zero data loss and also I will get their requirements about down time and up time of database.
· If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
First I will identify it, then see to it what exactly it is doing, capture that situation and then either try to release the locks(if its a blocking or blocked session), or kill the session, if its hanging on a runaway query.
· Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
Oracle passes the ACID rule with distinction as compared to the other databases. Moreover, the multiversion read consistency, recovery, flexibility and challenges of Oracle are matchless.

Oracle CEP and JDBC Adapter

I am using Oracle CEP 10g on WIndows.
I wrote the following code on CEP:
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:scott/[email protected]:1521/orcl");
Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
// Check for the existence of a previous customerID
String selectStmt = "SELECT * from STEPS " +
 "WHERE (streamID='" +
 this.customerId +
 "') and (assetid='" +
 this.eventName +
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
//System.out.println("-- calling SELECT");
//System.out.println(selectStmt);
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(selectStmt);This works great, except it is exceedingling slow. I am sending about 20,000 messages to this code.
I think the problem is that I open the connection everytime I perform a select (and later an insert statement).
The server instance goes away after the message has been processed, and I can not save the connection.
Would using an adapter in config.xml prevent this openig a new connection every time a message invokes this code ?
If so, I have never done JDBC with an adapter and I dont understand how to use an adapter to use a WHERE clause to select on variables, since in the example I have seen so far, it places "SELECT 1 from DUAL" into the config.xml and does not explain how to get mix have the SELECT statement interact with code variables or better yet how to get your code to get a connection handle.
Could someone please post an exaqmple of how to use an adapter with JDBC, and possibly how to get your code to access a connection handle from the config.xml ?
Thanks

Error while sending query result

Hi all,
I am working on a JDBC-XI-IDoc scenario. In my sending JDBC adapter configuration, i have given the Query SQL statement as SELECT * FROM SAP_PROMOTION and Update SQL statement as: <TEST>
But when i go to adapter monitor, i am seeing an error as follws:
Error: Sending query result failed with com.sap.aii.af.service.cpa.impl.exception.CPALookupException: Couldn't retrieve binding for the given channelId: Binding:CID=875514bc047b3557a5b53dfb5ef4babe; - retry

Can anybody help me how to solve this problem.

Divija,
Am not sure if this is the exact cause for your problem, but would anyways suggest that you take a look at it,
classes12.zip is not compatible with JDK 1.4.

Shared Pool utilisation

Hello Team:
I ran a metalink script to report the shared pool utilization recently. I took this output when the database was on peak load.
SQL> /
Obj mem: 66435759 bytes (63.36MB)
Shared sql: 324219036 bytes (309.2MB)
Cursors: 341207073 bytes (325.4MB)
Free memory: 67228508 bytes (64.11MB)
Shared pool utilization (total): 468785754 bytes (447.07MB)
Shared pool allocation (actual): 754974720bytes (720MB)
Percentage Utilized: 91%
does this mean I have to add more space to shared pool. If so what is the threshold value?
Regards,
Bala

1. Memory
a. Shared Pool
1. Introduction
Shared pool is used to cache different types of data such as textual and executable forms of PL/SQL blocks and SQL statements, dictionary cache data, and other data in SGA. Additional shared memory needed in the SHARED POOL if using ASM storage. Gathering schema/database stats (table/index stats) makes database query performance better and it reduce utilization of shared pool. Hence, practice to schedule job to gather stats regularly which suites your database performance. If you use shared pool effectively you can reduce resource consumption in at least four ways
1. Parse overhead is avoided if the SQL statement is already in the shared pool. This saves CPU resources on the host and elapsed time for the end user.
2. Latching resource usage is significantly reduced, which results in greater scalability.
3. Shared pool memory requirements are reduced, because all applications use the same pool of SQL statements and dictionary resources.
4. I/O resources are saved, because dictionary elements that are in the shared pool do not require disk access.
This sharable area of memory is managed as a sophisticated cache and heap manager rolled into one. It has 3 fundamental problems to overcome:
1. The unit of memory allocation is not a constant - memory allocations from the pool can be anything from a few bytes to many kilobytes
2. Not all memory can be 'freed' when a user finishes with it (as is the case in a traditional heap manager) as the aim of the shared pool is to maximize share of information. The information in the memory may be useful to another session - Oracle cannot know in advance if the items will be of any use to anyone else or not.
3. There is no disk area to page out to so this is not like a traditional cache where there is a file backing store. Only "rewriteable" information can be discarded from the cache and it has to be re-created when it is next needed.
Oracle 10g architecture of Shared pool:
Library Cache Shared SQL Area (Hash Value, SQL source, Execution plan)
Data Dictionary Cache
Enqueues Fixed Area Other
Latches
Oracle 11g architecture of Shared pool:
Library Cache Shared SQL Area (Hash Value, SQL source, Execution plan)
Data Dictionary Cache
Result Cache
Enqueues Fixed Area Other
Latches
1. Library Cache
Shared Sql Area: contains Parsed SQL and execution Plans for statements already run against the database. This area allows SQL execution plans to be reused by many users.
Private SQL Area: Private SQL areas are non-shared memory areas assigned to unique user sessions.
Pl/sql Area: contains the recently executed Procedures, Functions and Packages.
Control Structures: Common control structure information example Memory for Latches and locks, sequence cache.
2. Dictionary cache known as the row cache.
Dictionary cache stores all the metadata info of tables and views in the database, Names and data types of the columns in the database, Object and system privileges of all the Users. Oracle maintains the stats of all the objects in the shared pool, if any of the memory objects are not used from the last 3 seconds, these memory objects will be aged out and will be removed from the cache. All the Shared Pool Structures are maintained by a LRU (least recently Used) algorithm, by which Oracle removes the objects from the shared Pool, until there is enough free space in the shared Pool to keep new Object.

Watch for trends using these guidelines:
a) if ‘free’ memory is low (less than 5mb or so) you may need to increase the shared_pool_size and shared_pool_reserved_size. You should expect ‘free’ memory to increase and decrease over time. Seeing trends where ‘free’ memory decreases consistently is not necessarily a problem, but seeing consistent spikes up and down could be a problem.
b) if ‘freeable’ or ‘perm’ memory continually grows then it is possible you are seeing a memory bug.
c) if ‘freeabl’ and ‘recr’ memory classes are always huge, this indicates that you have a lot of cursor info stored that is not releasing.
d) if ‘free’ memory is huge but you are still getting 4031 errors, the problem is likely reloads and invalids in the library cache causing fragmentation.

You should also use hidden and unsupported parameter “_shared_pool_reserved_pct” to control reserved pool. This parameter controls the allocated percentage of shared pool for reserved pool. By default it is %5 of the shared pool and if you use ASMM for memory management you can set this value higher like 10 to allocate reserved pool dynamically. When you set the parameter you will see the shared_pool_reserved_size parameter will be adjusted to the new setting. The parameter can not be modified when instance is started. You can use the query below to see the current value
select a.ksppinm “Parameter”, b.ksppstvl “Session Value”, c.ksppstvl “Instance Value” from sys.x$ksppi a, sys.x$ksppcv b, sys.x$ksppsv c where a.indx = b.indx and a.indx = c.indx and a.ksppinm = ‘_shared_pool_reserved_pct’;

Conecting oracle to jdbc

hello friends!
i would ike to askhear a qustion?
my question is how can i map my data source name to the oracle database using native jdbc:oracle driver or jabc:odbc bridge driver
if you know the answer please send me on
[email protected] as early as possible

From the JDBC adapter FAQ, on service market place:
10. Oracle JDBC Driver (classes12.zip / classes12.jar) Deadlocks
    * Q: I have deployed the Oracle classes12.zip / classes12.jar JDBC driver as per the instructions in the XI Configuration Guide.
      Unfortunately, I frequently notice hanging database connections. A thread dump taken according to the instructions in note 710154 shows one or more blocking JDBC Sender/Reciver threads and optionally that the JVM has detected a deadlock.
    * A: The Oracle classes12.zip / classes12.jar driver is compatible with JDK 1.2 and 1.3 only, but not with JDK 1.4. Upgrade to a current version of the driver (ojdbc14.jar). For details, refer to note 941317.
      Make sure that you remove classes12.zip / classes12.jar from aii_af_jmsproviderlib.sda (releases 3.0/7.0) or com.sap.aii.adapter.lib.sda (releases 7.1) prior to adding the new driver as per the instructions in the answer to question #1 above as you will get a class name collision otherwise (all JARs from aii_af_jmsproviderlib.sda (releases 3.0/7.0) or com.sap.aii.adapter.lib.sda (releases 7.1) are loaded into the same class loader and the driver class name of both driver versions is the same).
      Before deploying the updated driver, ensure that the new version is still compatible with your Oracle database server release. For details, refer to the release notes provided by Oracle.
I think you should be able to use OJDBC14.jar as to seems to be tied to the JDK version.
Also refer to note : 941317 for more info.

JDBC external oracle invalid URL

Ok after deploying oracle jdbc now I am getting this error:
Error during database connection to the database URL 'jdbc:oracle:thin@torigai:1527:DSORACLE' using the JDBC driver 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver': 'com.sap.aii.adapter.jdbc.sql.DriverManagerException: Cannot establish connection to URL 'jdbc:oracle:thin@torigai:1527:DSORACLE': SQLException: Invalid Oracle URL specified'
Could this be becauase the external oracle DB is a 9.2 instance and the source is 10g? Should I deploy classes14.jar along with ojdbc.jar.....?
Thanks
Mikie

Hi,
The reason is that the URL is incorrect. You have missed a ":" after "thin".
This is what it should be,
jdbc:oracle:thin:@torigai:1527:DSORACLE
>Should I deploy classes14.jar along with ojdbc.jar.....?
Not needed at all. Infact you should use either ojdbc.jar or classes14.jar and not both.
From the SAP note : 831162

have deployed the Oracle classes12.zip / classes12.jar JDBC driver as per the instructions in the XI Configuration Guide.
Unfortunately, I frequently notice hanging database connections. A thread dump taken according to the instructions in note 710154 shows one or more blocking JDBC Sender/Reciver threads and optionally that the JVM has detected a deadlock.

Trying to open old iPhoto library on osx 10.9.5 with iPhoto 9.5.1. iPhoto says I must upgrade but upgrade eventually hangs. Tried to rebuild/repair database but it always says you have to upgrade database first and eventually hangs

What version was the old library made with?
What is the exact message? when it hangs does it crash or do you have to force quit?

TOAD hangs, for the new Database

Hi,
My database version is:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.3.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
My TOAD version is:
Version 10.1.1.8
We created a new database A and created a user schema.
When I login to the schema in TOAD and leave the session idle (even if I dont run any query) for a while and come back to it, TOAD gets hanged.
I get no error message or anything, it just hangs and I have to do alt+ctrl+del and end task everytime.
This does not happen with another database B.
So I assume this is not a TOAD problem.
Please advice where the problem lies.
Thanks!!

10.2.0.2 Database Install Hangs on AIX 5.3

We have four new, recently-configured, AIX servers with same configuration with respect to IBM patches, kernel settings, etc. The install on our second server hangs while the other three installs successfully completed. It's not a connectivity issue with x-windows software or Putty as the OUI screen displays correctly and we enter all our install details.
We get as far as the Summary screen, at which point we review the parameters to be used, then select "Install" and the 10g screen comes up (where you would normally see progress status) and nothing else happens. Eventually the screen washes out and nothing happens. We have downloaded new copies of the software from OTN, as well as transferred copies of the files from one of the successful servers, but with the same results.
I have attached the contents of the install log file below and hope that someone may have a moment to review and point out something that may be causing the install issue. I am available to provide any additional information as requested.
RDBMS Version: Oracle 10.2.0.2
OS Version: AIX 5.3
I can email the full install log if needed, but it contains more than 30,000 words and exceeds this forum's max length.

I think you have to install 10.2.0.1 and then apply a patch to go 10.2.0.2.0 --10.2.0.3.0--- etc
and can you also let us know what file system you using NFS or GPFS ?

Weird : Database Hangs without any message in Alert File

Hi
We have production database 10.2.0 , in the last 3 days database database has to be restarted as it hangs without any information in the Alert File.
No trace file is genrated at that time.
Only SYS user Can LOGIN to the database.
I had no other option but to restart
Database is in NO ARCHIVE MODE
There is Enough Space in Temporary Tablespace and all other tablespace.
NO patches were applied to the database
NO parameters has been modified
When i check the CPU usage its normal.
There is Enough Disk Space.
This is procution and i apreciate Help.
Thank You

What is the OS ? Windows --> Did you check virus scan or some other process running during that time ?
Unix / Linux --> Is sysadmin running a defrag on the disks or some other OS Utility ?
Do you login as SYS from the server ? Can you login as any other user from the server ?
Hang == Slow ?

Production database in NOARCHIVE log mode... is interesting by itself, but that is not a question here.
