Help on Oracle streams 11g configuration

Hi Streams experts
Can you please validate the following creation process steps ?
What is need to have streams doing is a one way replication of the AR
schema from a database to another database. Both DML and DDL shall do
the replication of the data.
Help on Oracle streams 11g configuration. I would also need your help
on the maintenance steps, controls and procedures
2 databases
1 src as source database
1 dst as destination database
replication type 1 way of the entire schema FaeterBR
Step 1. Set all databases in archivelog mode.
Step 2. Change initialization parameters for Streams. The Streams pool
size and NLS_DATE_FORMAT require a restart of the instance.
SQL> alter system set global_names=true scope=both;
SQL> alter system set undo_retention=3600 scope=both;
SQL> alter system set job_queue_processes=4 scope=both;
SQL> alter system set streams_pool_size= 20m scope=spfile;
SQL> alter system set NLS_DATE_FORMAT=
'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS' scope=spfile;
SQL> shutdown immediate;
SQL> startup
Step 3. Create Streams administrators on the src and dst databases,
and grant required roles and privileges. Create default tablespaces so
that they are not using SYSTEM.
---at the src
SQL> create tablespace streamsdm datafile
'/u01/product/oracle/oradata/orcl/strepadm01.dbf' size 100m;
---at the replica:
SQL> create tablespace streamsdm datafile
---at both sites:
'/u02/oracle/oradata/str10/strepadm01.dbf' size 100m;
SQL> create user streams_adm
identified by streams_adm
default tablespace strepadm01
temporary tablespace temp;
SQL> grant connect, resource, dba, aq_administrator_role to
streams_adm;
SQL> BEGIN
DBMS_STREAMS_AUTH.GRANT_ADMIN_PRIVILEGE (
grantee => 'streams_adm',
grant_privileges => true);
END;
Step 4. Configure the tnsnames.ora at each site so that a connection
can be made to the other database.
Step 5. With the tnsnames.ora squared away, create a database link for
the streams_adm user at both SRC and DST. With the init parameter
global_name set to True, the db_link name must be the same as the
global_name of the database you are connecting to. Use a SELECT from
the table global_name at each site to determine the global name.
SQL> select * from global_name;
SQL> connect streams_adm/streams_adm@SRC
SQL> create database link DST
connect to streams_adm identified by streams_adm
using 'DST';
SQL> select sysdate from dual@DST;
SLQ> connect streams_adm/streams_adm@DST
SQL> create database link SRC
connect to stream_admin identified by streams_adm
using 'SRC';
SQL> select sysdate from dual@SRC;
Step 6. Control what schema shall be replicated
FaeterBR is the schema to be replicated
Step 7. Add supplemental logging to the FaeterBR schema on all the
tables?
SQL> Alter table FaeterBR.tb1 add supplemental log data
(ALL) columns;
SQL> alter table FaeterBR.tb2 add supplemental log data
(ALL) columns;
etc...
Step 8. Create Streams queues at the primary and replica database.
---at SRC (primary):
SQL> connect stream_admin/stream_admin@ORCL
SQL> BEGIN
DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.SET_UP_QUEUE(
queue_table => 'streams_adm.FaeterBR_src_queue_table',
queue_name => 'streams_adm.FaeterBR_src__queue');
END;
---At DST (replica):
SQL> connect stream_admin/stream_admin@STR10
SQL> BEGIN
DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.SET_UP_QUEUE(
queue_table => 'stream_admin.FaeterBR_dst_queue_table',
queue_name => 'stream_admin.FaeterBR_dst_queue');
END;
Step 9. Create the capture process on the source database (SRC).
SQL> BEGIN
DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.ADD_SCHEMA_RULES(
schema_name =>'FaeterBR',
streams_type =>'capture',
streams_name =>'FaeterBR_src_capture',
queue_name =>'FaeterBR_src_queue',
include_dml =>true,
include_ddl =>true,
include_tagged_lcr =>false,
source_database => NULL,
inclusion_rule => true);
END;
Step 10. Instantiate the FaeterBR schema at DST. by doing export
import : Can I use now datapump to do that ?
---AT SRC:
exp system/superman file=FaeterBR.dmp log=FaeterBR.log
object_consistent=y owner=FaeterBR
---AT DST:
---Create FaeterBR tablespaces and user:
create tablespace FaeterBR_datafile
'/u02/oracle/oradata/str10/FaeterBR_01.dbf' size 100G;
create tablespace ws_app_idx datafile
'/u02/oracle/oradata/str10/FaeterBR_01.dbf' size 100G;
create user FaeterBR identified by FaeterBR_
default tablespace FaeterBR_
temporary tablespace temp;
grant connect, resource to FaeterBR;
imp system/123db file=FaeterBR_.dmp log=FaeterBR.log fromuser=FaeterBR
touser=FaeterBR streams_instantiation=y
Step 11. Create a propagation job at the source database (SRC).
SQL> BEGIN
DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.ADD_SCHEMA_PROPAGATION_RULES(
schema_name =>'FaeterBR',
streams_name =>'FaeterBR_src_propagation',
source_queue_name =>'stream_admin.FaeterBR_src_queue',
destination_queue_name=>'stream_admin.FaeterBR_dst_queue@dst',
include_dml =>true,
include_ddl =>true,
include_tagged_lcr =>false,
source_database =>'SRC',
inclusion_rule =>true);
END;
Step 12. Create an apply process at the destination database (DST).
SQL> BEGIN
DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.ADD_SCHEMA_RULES(
schema_name =>'FaeterBR',
streams_type =>'apply',
streams_name =>'FaeterBR_Dst_apply',
queue_name =>'FaeterBR_dst_queue',
include_dml =>true,
include_ddl =>true,
include_tagged_lcr =>false,
source_database =>'SRC',
inclusion_rule =>true);
END;
Step 13. Create substitution key columns for äll the tables that
haven't a primary key of the FaeterBR schema on DST
The column combination must provide a unique value for Streams.
SQL> BEGIN
DBMS_APPLY_ADM.SET_KEY_COLUMNS(
object_name =>'FaeterBR.tb2',
column_list =>'id1,names,toys,vendor');
END;
Step 14. Configure conflict resolution at the replication db (DST).
Any easier method applicable the schema?
DECLARE
cols DBMS_UTILITY.NAME_ARRAY;
BEGIN
cols(1) := 'id';
cols(2) := 'names';
cols(3) := 'toys';
cols(4) := 'vendor';
DBMS_APPLY_ADM.SET_UPDATE_CONFLICT_HANDLER(
object_name =>'FaeterBR.tb2',
method_name =>'OVERWRITE',
resolution_column=>'FaeterBR',
column_list =>cols);
END;
Step 15. Enable the capture process on the source database (SRC).
BEGIN
DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.START_CAPTURE(
capture_name => 'FaeterBR_src_capture');
END;
Step 16. Enable the apply process on the replication database (DST).
BEGIN
DBMS_APPLY_ADM.START_APPLY(
apply_name => 'FaeterBR_DST_apply');
END;
Step 17. Test streams propagation of rows from source (src) to
replication (DST).
AT ORCL:
insert into FaeterBR.tb2 values (
31000, 'BAMSE', 'DR', 'DR Lejetoej');
AT STR10:
connect FaeterBR/FaeterBR
select * from FaeterBR.tb2 where vendor= 'DR Lejetoej';
Any other test that can be made?

Incorrect version showing after Oracle version upgrade

Dear All
As we have upgraded our oracle version from 10.2.0.4.0 to 11.2.0.2.0. As we go in the sqlplus / as sysdba " . it is showing the
correct version. ever after i checked through 'select version from
V$instance' showing the correct result also. 11.2.0.2.0. When we go ourenterprise portal & check the oracle version in the system info of enterprise portal showing "Oracle Database 11g Release 11.1.0.0.0 -Production"
we are not able to understand why it is showing the wrong version in the portal.
Can anybody help to trace it out.
Thanks

Oracle Versions Communication

Hi Guys,
this is my first post, so apologies in advance if I've selected the wrong part of the forum. . .
We are currently undergoing a project to move the database for one of our systems from 8i on unix over to 10g on windows 2k3 (we no longer have any unix support since ms is the company standard - a decision far above our heads that we cannot question). We have had a few problems with past attempts, but these may be explainable by outside factors (i.e. we discovered that some ports were blocked around the same time we made one attempt, and there was a virus outbreak on another go - like I say, the company standard is ms), so people are questioning whether the 'new technology' is compatible, or if we should try using older versions of OSes & oracle.
As I understand the theory, the operating system & oracle version should not cause any issues to our system if only the server side is changed, and the only change made to clients is to point them to the new server using their tns names file. Since all communication is via tcp/ip, and the database before and after is oracle, I would expect that if the same messages are being sent, the messages received should be the same, though the black-box server processing side of things may be different - i.e. aside from knowing about a change of server name and faster response, our clients should not be able to tell that there has been an upgrade, even when doing a binary level comparison of the responses. Does anyone know of any difference that could exist in the replies (i.e. would the later version of oracle maybe try to use a different data structure, or does the reply include some sort of tag to indicate what version of oracle was run on the server)?
Hope that all makes sense. . .
Many thanks in advance for your help,
JB
(Hope the bold helps to separate the question from the background padding ;) )

Hi Arulselvaraj,
That's kind of what I'm asking, but at a more technical level. I am not worried about the actual user's, but the client software (in this case a very old and heavily customised version of JDE OneWorld). I am wondering if the binary data returned to a client by a server running 8i on Unix would look exactly the same as the binary data returned by a server running 10g on windows 2k3 when both servers have the same data and are sent the same query by the same client? In other words, would a migration from one to the other be transparent to the client application?
Hopefully that makes a bit more sense; not the easiest of issues to explain.
Thanks again,
JB

ORACLE VERSION 11g

Hi All,
when i am running SELECT * FROM TABLE1 that time its returns order by each records in oracle 9i oracle version.when i am trying in same query in oracle 11g its not comming in order all the the records.
please help me any one.

if you want the output of a connect by in a certain order, you better use ORDER siblings BY - the order by for a connect by
otherwise, the rows come out in a hierarchy, but not necessarily in any sort order.
You might get a plan against one set of data that uses an index to retrieve the data - and see it sorted, but as the result set grows - it might start scanning instead and all of a sudden - no more sort.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/statements_10002.htm#i2066102
<quote>
If you specify this clause, then do not specify either ORDER BY or GROUP BY, because they will destroy the hierarchical order of the CONNECT BY results. If you want to order rows of siblings of the same parent, then use the ORDER SIBLINGS BY clause.
</quote>
so, the hierarchy is assured, but the order of rows within - not at all - not without order siblings by

Do you have a

If you are using sqlplus command in the sql file, then just suppress the ouput with -SILENT option or -s.

How to find out the Oracle Version in Windows platform (OS level)

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 8.1.7, 9.2.0.1 and 10.2.0.1on my Windows machine for testing purpose.
I want to list in my code as what are all the Oracle software version installed on my machine at OS level (before connecting into oracle).
Is there any way to get this.
Please help.
Thanks,

Steps to upgrade my Oracle version from 11.1.0.6 to 11.2.0.1 in windows.

Can anyone help me with the steps to upgrade my Oracle version from 11.1.0.6 to 11.2.0.1 in windows.
Thanks in advance.

If you are going to upgrade, you should upgrade to the latest 11gR2 patchset (currently 11.2.0.4). At a high level -
1. Install 11.2.0.4 into a new separate ORACLE_HOME - see MOS Doc 1562139.1 and Contents
2. Apply the latest 11.2.0.4 PSU bundle available for Windows - see MOS Doc 1454618.1
3. Use DBUA to perform the upgrade - MOS Doc 870814.1 and Contents
Also see
MOS Doc 1645862.1

Selection screen versions in LdB

The following questions are related to SAP delivered LdBs that are not for HR.
a) Do you know where the selection screen versions for a delivered LdB are stored?
b) Can additional selection versions be created /delivered selection screen versions modified? Or the authorization for doing the changes is generally not provided.
Thank you much,

How to find out what Oracle version?

Hi,
Could anyone tell me how to find out what Oracle version is on your AIX/Unix machine? It looks like Oracle Installer doesn't use the native OS installation(installp,pkgadd) process, so I can't use lslpp/pkginfo to find out what filesets are installed.
Thanks
HQ.

Hi!
As far ar Oracle version is concerned, you can find it at the database level after connecting to the database
select * from v$version;
i am not sure if there is someway to find at the o/s level.

Help with oracle 11g pivot operator

i need some help with oracle 11g pivot operator. is it possible to use multiple columns in the FOR clause and then compare it against multiple set of values.
here is the sql to create some sample data
create table pivot_data ( country_code number , dept number, job varchar2(20), sal number );
insert into pivot_data values (1,30 , 'SALESMAN', 5000);
insert into pivot_data values (1,301, 'SALESMAN', 5500);
insert into pivot_data values (1,30 , 'MANAGER', 10000);
insert into pivot_data values (1,301, 'MANAGER', 10500);
insert into pivot_data values (1,30 , 'CLERK', 4000);
insert into pivot_data values (1,302, 'CLERK',4500);
insert into pivot_data values (2,30 , 'SALESMAN', 6000);
insert into pivot_data values (2,301, 'SALESMAN', 6500);
insert into pivot_data values (2,30 , 'MANAGER', 11000);
insert into pivot_data values (2,301, 'MANAGER', 11500);
insert into pivot_data values (2,30 , 'CLERK', 3000);
insert into pivot_data values (2,302, 'CLERK',3500);
using case when I can write something like this and get the output i want
select country_code
,avg(case when (( dept = 30 and job = 'SALESMAN' ) or ( dept = 301 and job = 'SALESMAN' ) ) then sal end ) as d30_sls
,avg(case when (( dept = 30 and job = 'MANAGER' ) or ( dept = 301 and job = 'MANAGER' ) ) then sal end ) as d30_mgr
,avg(case when (( dept = 30 and job = 'CLERK' ) or ( dept = 302 and job = 'CLERK' ) ) then sal end ) as d30_clrk
from pivot_data group by country_code;
output
country_code          D30_SLS               D30_MGR               D30_CLRK
1      5250      10250      4250
2      6250      11250      3250
what I tried with pivot is like this I get what I want if I have only one ( dept,job) for one alias name. I want to call (30 , 'SALESMAN') or (301 , 'SALESMAN') AS d30_sls. any help how can I do this
SELECT *
FROM pivot_data
PIVOT (SUM(sal) AS sum
FOR (dept,job) IN ( (30 , 'SALESMAN') AS d30_sls,
          (30 , 'MANAGER') AS d30_mgr,
(30 , 'CLERK') AS d30_clk
this is a simple example .... my real life scenario is compliated with more fields and more combinations .... So something like using substr(dept,1,2) won't work in my real case .
any suggestions get the result similar to what i get in the case when example is really appreciated.

Hi,
Sorry, I don't think there's any way to get exactly what you requested. The values you give in the PIVOT ... IN clause are exact values, not alternatives.
You could do something like this to map all alternatives to a common value:
WITH     got_dept_grp     AS
     SELECT     country_code, job, sal
     ,     CASE
              WHEN job IN ('SALESMAN', 'MANAGER') AND dept = 301 THEN 30
              WHEN job IN ('CLERK')               AND dept = 302 THEN 30
                                                                 ELSE dept
          END     AS dept_grp
     FROM     pivot_data
SELECT     *
FROM     got_dept_grp
PIVOT     (     AVG (sal)
     FOR     (job, dept_grp)
     IN     ( ('SALESMAN', 30)
          , ('MANAGER' , 30)
          , ('CLERK'   , 30)
;In your sample data (and perhaps in your real data), it's about as easy to explicitly define the pivoted groups individually, like this:
WITH     got_pivot_key     AS
     SELECT     country_code, sal
     ,     CASE
              WHEN job = 'SALESMAN' AND dept IN (30, 301) THEN 'd30_sls'
              WHEN job = 'MANAGER' AND dept IN (30, 301) THEN 'd30_mgr'
              WHEN job = 'CLERK'    AND dept IN (30, 302) THEN 'd30_clrk'
          END     AS pivot_key
     FROM    pivot_data
SELECT     *
FROM     got_pivot_key
PIVOT     (     AVG (sal)
     FOR     pivot_key
     IN     ( 'd30_sls'
          , 'd30_mgr'
          , 'd30_clrk'
;Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; that really helps!

Different plsql for different Oracle versions

Hi everyone,
I am working on a plsql script which may be run on multiple databases. Unfortunately, I have a need to run one query type if the version is 10g, and another if it is 9i. The 10g query is preferable for the type & amount of information it returns, but 9i does not have the same level of support. I wrote the below (dumbed down for posting purposes) to do this:
spool sqlLog.txt append
set heading off;
SET NEWPAGE 0;
SET SPACE 0;
SET LINESIZE 32767;
SET PAGESIZE 0;

Hi,
Dynamic SQL, like John suggested, might be the most elegant solution, but here are some others to consider:
(1) Create dummy objects. Your code guarantees that you'll never get a run-time error trying to query v$sql in Oracle 9, but the problem is that you're getting a compile-time error just by referencing it. So create a v$sql: a dummy table in your own schema, a synonym to the Oracle 10 data dictionary via a database link, anything just so it compiles.
(2) Create real objects. For example, in your Oracle 9 database, create a view called v$sql, based on v$sqlarea and v$session, that has all the same columns you use in Oracle 10. If you can do this, you won't even need an IF statement in your PL/SQL; the same code that runs against the data dictionary v$sql in Oracle 10 will run against your own schema's v$sql in Oracle 9.
(3) Isolate the problems. Write two different versions of a package, one for each version, and put all version-dependent code in the package. In most of your code, call the procedure to do the version-dependent stuff. For example, don't open a cursor in your program: instead, call the package to open a cursor.
(4) Comment Out. Klugy but cute. Write your PL/SQL without IF statements, like this:
BEGIN
&v10     for csr_10g in (SELECT sql_fulltext, a.parsing_schema_name, b.name, b.value_string
&v10                         FROM V$SQL a left outer
&v9     for csr_9i in (SELECT a.sql_Text, b.Schemaname
&v9                         FROM v$sqlarea a left outer join v$session b ON a.parsing_schema_id=b.schema#
&v9                                                                                  join v$sql_bind_capture b ON a.SQL_ID = b.SQL_ID)
          loop
&v10            dbms_output.put_line(csr_10g.sql_fulltext||';'|| csr_10g.parsing_schema_name||';'|| csr_10g.name||';'|| csr_10g.value_string);
&v9            dbms_output.put_line(csr_9i.sql_text||';'|| csr_9i.schemaname||';');
         end loop;
END;Compile your PL/SQL in SQL*Plus.
Define two substitution variables: v10 and v9.
In Oracle 10, v10 make " " and make v9 "--".
In Oracle 9, v10 make "--" and make v9 " ".
You can do the assignments on the fly with the SQL*Plus "COLUMN ... NEW_VALUE" command.
In either database, code that only works in the other version will be commented out. Your code will look like hell (good spacing and comments will make it less hard to read), but it will compile and work.
None of these ideas are mutually exclusive. You might want to do dynamic SQL in some places, and use on dummy objects in others, for example.

Control file version 10.2.0.1.0 incompatible with ORACLE version 10.2.0.0.

hi;
I'm totally new to the oracle databases field...am trying to startup the database using the parameter file init.ora by using the command
startup pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/init.ora'
But its giving me the following error:
ORA-00201: control file version 10.2.0.1.0 incompatible with ORACLE version
10.2.0.0.0
ORA-00202: control file:
'/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/control01.ctl'
Can anyone help me with this error?
Thanks!

startup pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/init.ora'You are most likely using the wrong init.ora file. Get a list of files at /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/
For the database ORACLE_SID that you are attempting to startup, there would be an initSID.ora or spfileSID.ora
e.g. if the ORACLE_SID is PROD, the file would be initPROD.ora or spfilePROD.ora
The spfileSID.ora is a binary file and should not be accessed by a text-editor.
