How to trace which user shutdown oracle database in unix OS?

our organization is having 10 DBA with sysdba priviladge. We are using UNIX operating system. At morning say for example if some one (SYSDBA user) shutdown the oracle database how other sysdba user trace the user who shutdown the database? the information i need is terminal from where oracle got shutdown and the username? Please help...

Hello,
You are right Sybrand, SYSDBA connections are always audited.
My answer was about enabling auditing to any connections, which may give informations about who access to the Database in general. And, this is true, it was not the scope of the OP question.
However, so as to enlarge audit of SYS/SYSDBA/SYSOPER operations, setting the parameter audit_sys_operations=TRUE may be interesting:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e16543/auditing.htm#DBSEG0611
To the OP:
Where the audit tracefile get genareted for sys user?You may execute this:
show parameter audit_file_destThank again Sybrand for correcting me.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

How to know which user shutdown the server

Hi,
Is there a way to check which user has shutdown the server in windows server 2012.
I know Event Id : 1076,1074,6008 gives information about system shutdown.but want to know which user did that ?
thanks

Steps to see which user shutdown the system:
1. Go to event Viewer
2. Right click on system and -> Filter Current Log
3. For User Shutdowns, click downward arrow of Event Sources -> Check User32.
4. In <All Event IDs> type 1074 -> OK
This will give the list of Power off and restart events. It will have the date and time as well as Username.

How to trace a USER in oracle?

Hi Sir,
I have a rquirement that I need to Trace a session created through the Application. The only data I have is that I know the application will connect to a Database schema and nothing else. How is it possilbe that I can create a trace file for it.
Also is it possilble, that i can trace complete user. how to find all the trace as it create number of process inturn number of trace, how do I find it and combine. I read the documentation but can't understand it clearly?
Any help will be great.

Aman, thanks for replying. This is the problem, they have not implemented dbms_application_info.
That is the reason I want to know how to trace user(all session of a schema) and combine all the session generated trace(something like trcsess) and then generate tkprof. I am on Oracle 10g.Well, first off, users connect to databases, they don't connect to schemas. And as a follow on, users have sessions, schemas don't.
That said, you might investigate a logon trigger that initiates a 1046 trace. Something like this:
-- create a logon trigger for capturing extended trace data
-- NOTE: must be run as SYS
-- NOTE: Be sure to change both occurances of the target username
-- ('user = xxx' and 'TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER=') to the
-- correct value for the session you want to trace.
create or replace trigger logon_trigger
after logon on database
begin
if (user = 'SCOTT' ) then
execute immediate 'ALTER SESSION SET TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER=''SCOTT_APP''';
execute immediate 'alter session set timed_statistics=true';
execute immediate 'ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS ''10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 12''';
end if;
exception
when others then
null;
end;
end;
Of course, you can play around with the 'if' condition, and delete or disable the trigger when it is no longer needed. The resulting trace file can be run through tkprof.

Impact Analysis: How to trace which objects and tables used in a report?

Impact Analysis: How to trace which Webi objects and tables used in a report?
Currently, our company have been using BO Webi as our ad-hoc and reporting tool for over a year now. Past several months, we've been pushing our power users to develop their own report, and started to notice that we loss track off which data (tables, columns, ... , BO objects) being used where and by whom. The BI team now spend more time tracing through reports manually, instead of designing Universe.
After consulted with our local SAP technical sale, they said the only solution is to buy BO's ETL (Data Integration) and
Metadata Management tool, which price starting from $300K per CPU. I suppose that is NOT the right solution; however, we have not found one yet. Some executives believe Cognos (now by IBM) would provide a better BI solution as we scale.
If anyone know, please provide (1) Impact Analysis method: How to trace which Webi objects and tables used in a report? and (2) Does Cognos provide better impact analysis method without a heavy spending?
Thank you very much,
Ed

EdPC-SCB,
have you tried enabling auditing?
- Yes, audit log only shows user's activities which isn't useful for us. Please let us know any audit log that might be helpful .
For most of the servers listed in the CMC there is an "Audit" tab. I'd say if you have the disk space in your database for Auditor available, then if in doubt turn it on (at least for a while) to see if it exposes what you are seeking to find out --that'd be the quickest way. The documentation (xir2_bip_auditor_en.pdf) doesn't offer much in helping you to see a correlation between ticking on an Audit option in a Server and how it will populate in the Auditor DB -- most of us just hunt and peck until we get what we want. Once you have the good stuff in each of the Servers ticked on you'll be able to track down which report recieves which object. To help youself out initially, you should run every report that you can find so Auditor will get seeded.
thanks,
John

Hi Amit,

You should be looking into com.sap.security.api.IUserFactory, methods newUser(String) which gives you and IUserMaint and commitUser(IUserMaint, IUserAccount) -- IUserAccount can be obtained using com.sap.security.api.IUserAccountFactory, method newUserAccount(String)

What happen during shutdown oracle database

Dear All,
i have a questions and i enclosed some suggestions for the answer because I'm confused about the answers :
What happens during shutdown oracle database :
and the suggested answer :
1- When shutdown the database with NORMAL or IMMEDIATE option : the database system writes check point before shutting down the database .
2- when you shutdown the database with the IMMEDIATE , option , open transaction are rolled back before the database is shutdown .
3- shutting down the database with abort always requires an instance recovery at the next startup .
please suggest the right answer .
Regards

Hi Anwar,
When you close a database, Oracle writes all database data and recovery data in the SGA to the datafiles and redo log files, respectively. Next, Oracle closes all online datafiles and redo log files.
When you terminate the instance of an open database/use abort command to close and completely shut down the database the writing of all data in the buffers of the SGA to the datafiles and redo log files is skipped. The subsequent reopening of the database requires recovery, which Oracle performs automatically.
I hope this will help you out to understand the process.

How to trace a user System or I.P address

Hi Experts,
Had to ask how to trace a User's System or I.p address whom has performed changes over a BEX Query.
I have a situation where a user has done some changes in report it displays in last changed by user name:-****and last change date but i would like to trace the system from which these changes have been applied over a the bex Query.
Thanks in advance
Aman

Hi Aman,
Please have a quick look at the note 368048 which explains why the terminal ids are blank in some cases and gives the solutions where applicable.
If you want to see the current workstation with IP Addresses you can have a look at table USR41 which contains this information but this is not contained within the security audit log.
539404     FAQ: Answers to questions about the Security Audit
39418      Logging user actions
As for your query, about viewing user's IP, you might need to get user's Terminal ID from STAT/AL08 and manually use tracert in MS-DOS command to see particular user's IP. EG:tracert myl5005500.
Tracing route to <hostname>[10.10.10.10]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms <FQDN> [10.10.10.10]
Trace complete.
Note : I personally tested from logging in via query designer but my connections were not displayed in USR41. Once I connect to backend system my terminal IP could be traced.

Naveen.
