Oracle background process dying

Hi
I was wondering if anyone else had seem this problem and had any
solutions on it?
We have Oracle 8.0.5 install on Redhat, the install process went
through smoothly and everything runs okay to the best of our
knowledge and we have three instances running on the machine more
for testing than any production work, yet! Also one of the
instances has webdb installed on it.
Okay the problem we are seeing is as follows, we startup the
databases and leave them up but when we come back to the system
and check the system with the 'ps ax' command a number of the
background processes have disappeared, initially smon & dbwr but
this is not always the case and I have come back to the system to
see only two of the original six processes running sometimes we
are still able to connect to the database and do selects and
updates, etc but normally we have to shutdown and restart the
instances. There are no error logs generated and I've checked all
the relevant directories i.e. bdump, udump, etc and right now we
are at a loss to discover the problem.
My concern at the moment is not wanting to put a production
system on this without being able to firstly identifiy the
problem or to solve it.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks I'll give that a try

Restarting oracle background process

Hi all,
How can I restart an oracle background process "database writer" (ora_dbw0) without
restarting the oracle database?
Can I use "kill -HUP PID"?
Thanks alot.
George

if database statrts up without any intervention, no recovery is needed.
but to be on the safe side, check SM21, ST22 and SM37 for cancelled jobs.

Measure optimal values of background processes (RMON,PMON,RECO)?

Hi buddy's,
I am facing issue to determin optimal values of oracle EBS R12 background processes like (RMON,PMON,SMON,RECO)?
I want to determine and find it's maximum optimal values of each process with step by step guide because i am new in oracle.
My purpose is that if i found the optimal values of all background process then while during tuning it is clear for me to what i want to achieve.
Kindly help me and clarify this scenario how is it possible ?
Best Regards,
Waqar Arif

Hi,
You should learn some concepts first because you seem very very very new. RMON,PMON,SMON,RECO are background processes of Oracle database and there isn't anything called "value" associated with them. you can't control them or set any value for them. These are background processed which will rung when your instance will start.
See bellow for some concepts

Actully ,there is no BpelGroup in Weblogic. Does anybody know how to solve it ?

MAke sure you have not set ANY environment variable related to Oracle / BEA / Java / LD_library path. Use the following script to unset / set the initial settings:
#!/bin/sh
unset ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID ORACLE_TERM
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64
unset CLASSPATH JAVA_HOME
export PATH=.:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/VRTS/bin
export BEA_HOME=/appl/oracle/products/9.2/weblogic

How to run a background process in a J2EE App ?

Hi guys,
Here is the requirement which totally stumped me.
" The web app should have a feature like a background process or something like cron jobs.. which keeps on running in the background and at a particular time each day calls a method". User intervention is not an option.
Now had this been a stand alone app .. I could have done this using Threads.. but i cant possibly use threads in a J2EE app. Any pointers.. how I can go about realizing this
Thanks for your replies.
Cheers!

You could take the approach that SoulTech mentioned and spawn a new thread from the Servlet's init method. To have the servlet invoke this method with no intervention, you would need to set the following parameter in your servlet definition in your web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyStartupServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.my.company.MyStartupServlet</servlet-class>
*<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>*
</servlet>When you deploy your application, the servlet will be loaded, and its init method will be called.
If your application is running in a servlet container, I believe you are allowed (by the specification) to spawn your own threads, but you should do so carefully. Since you're writing a scheduler and not some kind of worker threads that are messing with your database, I think you should be okay. Still, just to keep it clean you should add any clean-up logic you may need to your servlet's destroy method. I know that in an EJB container, spawning your own threads can definitely be a problem and the container makes no guarantees that they will function correctly. The J2SE Timer class could be used if you're not using EJB, but the Timer class doesn't have support for J2EE - that's at least part of what led to the introduction of the timer beans in J2EE 1.4. If you're already using EJB, especially EJB 3.0, then the timer service provides a convenient built-in mechanism to do exactly what you want.
There are always multiple ways to solve any problem...

How to Instantiate Oracle BPM Process Webservice from the OSB

Hi,
In our project we have one requirement i.e Instantiate Oracle BPM Process Webservice from the OSB.After register BPM service in to OSB I am creating one Message flow to instantiate BPM Process.
first call to startSession Operation, then use response of startSession operation is used as reqest for BPM process operation.
Can u tell me how do we use response of startSession operation to the request of BPM process.
Thanks in Advance.

An easier way of instantiating a BPM process via a WS call is to set the authentication type to 'Username Token Profile' on your web service operation in BPM studio and then redeploy it. If you use this type of security on your bpm process operations you can start the process in one call instead of having to get a session first and then starting the process.
Once you've updating the process, re-register the new process WSDL and business service with OSB (or import it manually) and you can just call the start process operation in one request (passing a username and password using the WS-UsernameToken method) without having to get a session first.
Hope this all make sense,
Mike.

How to install Oracle BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier

hi,
i need to install BPEL process manager, so i download the following file from otn
1.soa_windows_x86_101310_disk1
2.soa_windows_x86_bpel_101310
here i read the document named b28980.pdf from bpel\doc\pc.1012 to install BPEL PM
so i start to complete the pre-installation task
1.installed Oracle database 10g
2.Run the Integration Repository Creation Assistant on the Database
3.Install Oracle Application Server 10g Release3 (10.1.3.1.0) and select either the J2EE Server installation type or the J2EE and Web Server installation type. selected J2EE and Web Server installation type
and installed according to the Oracle application server installation guide.
installed OracleAS in the path : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1
4.Install the current release of Oracle BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier
here they mention to select the J2EE and Web Server installation type because that type is selected in Oracle AS installed in Oracle Application Server
so i start to install the BPEL PM by selecting the setup.exe-->and shows the location source and destination
default destination is : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OraBPEL_1 selected next on the screen
the next screen is select installation type here there are two types named
1.BPEL process Manager for Developer (371MB)
2.BPEL process manager for Oracle AS Middle tier (107MB)
i selected 2.BPEL process manager for Oracle AS Middle tier (107MB) and click next
pop up window opens with title dependencies
error:
BPEL Process manager for oracle AS Middle tier will run on top of a supported Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1.0 J2EE server and Web Server Or J2EE server instance. this location does not contain this instance. Please select new Oracle home that contains a supported instance.
so i changed the destination path to : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\BIN then also i got the same error.
please any one mention the path for J2EE and Web Server instance for installing the BPEL PM for Oracle AS Middle Tier.
Thanks in Advance
Aswath Thaniga

If you choose the developer version you will be fine.
If you have installed J2EE and Web Server installation into D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1 then this is the location you install your BPEL PM into, not D:\product\10.1.3.1\OraBPEL_1 or D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\BIN.
D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1 is what we call the ORACLE_HOME, generally we create a new home for each install, but in this case there is a dependency on 10.1.3.1 OC4J container. So it needs to be installed into 10.1.3.1 oracle home.
The bin directory is just the executables for that home, its not the actual. home.

How to install Oracle imaging & process management in windows xp prof

Hi All
I am trying to install oracle Imaging & Process management in windows XP. Please let me know whether it is possible in windows XP or not... which I couldn't able to install in XP. when I saw the Install doc, it mentioned it is possible in windows server 2003. Installation guide mentioned that we have to setup 6 or 7 different server setups.
or
If any one have I/PM installation steps for windows server 2003 Please provide the steps.
Any input would be greatly appreciable.
regards
Vijay

Vijay,
IPM is not certified to be installed on Windows XP (as for IPM services).
It is possible to install IPM on one server machine (or two, if you need Web). First, you have to decide, which services you have to install.

How to making oracle bpm process instance asynchronous?

I want to create a bpm process which start as asynchronous. Can anyone tell me how to do it and test it?
Do I need to define the data structure/xsd first? Thank you

This is quite easy.
Double Click on the Message Start event of your BPM Process and then go to the Implementation Tab. Expand the "Advanced" pane by clicking on the "+" icon. Here you will see a Radio button that allows you to make your process "Synchronous" or "Asynchronous". Choose the mode that you want.

How to connect oracle 10g XE client to XEserver on win XP

Hi ,
i am using oracle 10g express edition. i installed oracle 10 xe server it is working fine but how can i connect oracle 10g xe client to this server becouse there is no net configuaration nad Migration tools and also net configuation Assistant . can you explain
Regards,
Dharmendra

The computer running XE server does not need a client installed.
If you are trying to connect from another computer, install the XE client and create file C:\XEClient\NETWORK\ADMIN\TNSNAMES.ORA with the following contents (replace ip_address as appropriate):
XE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
       (ADDRESS_LIST =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ip_address)(PORT = 1521))
       (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
{code}Test with
{code:java}
sqlplus SYSTEM/password@XE

Oracle 9i background process

Hi,
Currently I am doing ORACLE 9i Data Guard on HP-UX, I find there are some strange background process, such as "nsv1", "lns0" and "rsm0". I am familiar with smon, pmon, etc, but those new processes are new to me. I researched Oracle doc and Metalink, there is no place talking about those processes.
Do you know any place I can get explanation of all the Oracle background process?
Thanks

Here is a quick description directly from the database:
TEST> select name, description from v$bgprocess where name in ('NSV1','LNS0','RSM0');
NAME DESCRIPTION
LNS0 Network Server 0
RSM0 Data Guard Broker Resource Guard Process 0
NSV1 Data Guard Broker NetSlave Process 1Yoann.

Regarding the Mandatory BackGround Processes

Hi,
I wanna to know the information abt the BackGround processes like(PMON,SMON,CKPT,LGWR,DBWR).Can u pls explain abt all these processes and can i able to visualise these processes practically?
Regards,
sudhir

To fully outline these processes and what they do, would take a book. In fact, books have been written on the subject.
Go to http://tahiti.oracle.com/ and start with the Concepts manual.
