Is producation database must??

I just completed the installation of OEBS with Vision Demo Database. I am installing EBS to learn EBS. I didn't installed Production database is it necessary for me? what is the use of production database? Do i get any situation or case in my learning process where i have to use the production database?
Another problem--
I got a big list of folders in my All Programs menu after installing the vision database. In those folders when i click an icon, Its asking me to browse the file.......there are many short cuts in those folders and every shortcut is asking me to find the file. what does this mean? Does my installation successful? How to check this?
Thanks,
Pratap

Hi,
I just completed the installation of OEBS with Vision Demo Database. I am installing EBS to learn EBS. I didn't installed Production database is it necessary for me? what is the use of production database? Do i get any situation or case in my learning process where i have to use the production database?Production and Vision Demo installation are alike except for the data. Production database is a clean database and requires functional setup to let you access the modules successfully while vision demo database comes with seeded data, and ready for use.
Another problem--
I got a big list of folders in my All Programs menu after installing the vision database. In those folders when i click an icon, Its asking me to browse the file.......there are many short cuts in those folders and every shortcut is asking me to find the file. what does this mean? Does my installation successful? How to check this?Did you have any previous failed installation and you forgot to clean those shortcuts? If the shortcuts point to directories which do not exist, it should be safe to delete it. Please note that each time you run AutoConfig those shortcuts under "All Programs" will be created for you.
To ensure that your installation was successful, you need to check the main functionality of the system (login to the application, query/save data, submit a concurrent request, ..etc).
You may also refer to this document for a health check list you can follow.

ORA-10827: database must be opened with MIGRATE option

Hi,
We are trying to migrate an Oracle 8.1.7 database to an Oracle 9i(9.2) database. I moved all the database files to the appr folder and I created a new instance using:
oradim -new -sid PROD -intpwd Oracle -startmode a -pfile C:\oracle\OraDb\Neuropace\initPROD.ORA.
I checked the alter log file and I get the following error:
ORA-10827: database must be opened with MIGRATE option.
How should one go about migrating a database(different versions). I went ahead with the migration. I opened the database using
alter database open resetlogs migrate.
But when i log into the database, I get an internal code error.
Any pointers?.

You must not open normally your database after an upgrade, in short the method is
1) startup migrate
2) run the upgrade script (which one depends on your old database version)
For step-by-step instructions see
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96530/upgrade.htm#1009200
'alter database open resetlogs migrate' is only applicable to upgrades from version 7 to 9.2, hopefully your database is not corrupted now.

I am new to Data Guard and am trying to set up Data Guard Broker. I had created a configuration file with both my primary and standby databases and at one time I could show both databases. But now I can no longer show the standby database nor can I enable, disable or reinstate it. Here is what I have:

How can I get Data Guard to see the standby database correctly again?

Thank you for the constructive feedback. I have been able to make progress on this issue.
I did check the Data Guard Log files as you suggested. I did not find anything when I checked them before but this time I found the following:

I also checked the listener log file and did see and error associated with a known bug:

So I added the following to the listener.ora file and bounced the listener:

That seems to have taken care of the error.
The following is my listener.ora file:

I tried again to see the database in Data Guard Broker:
DGMGRL> show database 10gSB
Object "10gsb" was not found
however, I then was able to add the database in Data Guard Broker:
DGMGRL> add database 10gSB
as connect identifier is 10gSB
maintained as physical;Database "10gsb" added <== this is progress!!!
However the configuration shows the following:
DGMGRL> show database 10gSB
Database
Name: 10gsb
Role: PHYSICAL STANDBY
Enabled: NO
Intended State: OFFLINE
Instance(s):
10gSB
Current status for "10gsb":
DISABLED <=====
So I tried to enable the database:
DGMGRL> enable database 10gSB
Error: ORA-16626: failed to enable specified object
Failed.
and I tried to reinstate the database:
DGMGRL> reinstate database 10gSB
Reinstating database "10gsb", please wait...
Error: ORA-16653: failed to reinstate database
Failed.
Reinstatement of database "10gsb" failed
So I checked the configuration and now see two entries for the standby database but with case differences:
DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration
Name: orcl10g
Enabled: YES
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Databases:
orcl10g - Primary database
10gSB - Physical standby database
10gsb - Physical standby database (disabled)
Current status for "orcl10g":
SUCCESS
Question: How do I get rid of 10gSB and enable 10gsb?

I just opened my database : startup upgrade and it started up.
But couldn't perform a backup.As you said you have started the DB in upgrade mode and trying to take the backup of database. I think you can't take the backup of DB in upgrade mode.Please shut it down first and start up it in normal mode and do the backup.
Which backup strategy you are following?
What you exactly want to do upgrade the database or trying to take a bcakup?

Database producer consumer architecture

Dear NI supporters,
I am trying to devolope Producer/Consumer program to communicate with MS SQL database.
The Producer loop select data from database1 and process them.The Consumer loop insert proccesed data to database2.
The problem is, fast Producer loop must wait for slow Consumer loop and I have no idea why.
I have attached really simplified VI. There are two parallel processes (while loops). First loop read large data and the execution time is high. The second loop read really small data, so execution time is low. So if I execute the VI, I would expect the fast while loop (FAST PROCESS) will get much more iterations then the slow one (SLOW PROCESS). But the reallity is, the FAST PROCESS will get the same number of iteration as SLOW PROCESS. It looks like the processes don´t run in parallel or did I just missed something?
Could you explain me, why this occur, and how can I improve my code?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Jim, it really helps me!
Do you also know any other library to communicate with database in labview which is reentrant?
I mean I am focused on speed my labview-databse communcation up.
Perhaps you should be considering why your consumer loop is so slow? Is your database running on a dedicated server? Is it getting bogged down?
Please share a little of your real code so we can try to improve the performance of your consumer loop.

Moving a 32 bit Oracle 9i database to 64 bit on a different server

Hello,
We have a 24 GB database with Oracle 9.2.0.7 (32 bit). As the hardware of this server is getting obsolete, it is planned to move this instance to another server, which has 64 bit Oracle software of same version (9.2.0.7). In this scenario what is the best way to move the instance?
Is it only the full export from 32 bit server and import into 64 bit server(after creating the instance there)?
Since this is a 24 GB database, and target server is 8 gb of ram, any pointers on how long the import process can take?
There is a documentation to change word size, I can run utlirp.sql as suggested here:
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/?t=rview&goto=258668#msg_258668
But I have some doubts as I mentioned in that post. Can you please share your suggestions?
Thanks,
Nirav

Hi
Is there some document or steps to follow when creating the instance on the new server The database move is easy, and here is one way to move the schema, fast:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_db_copy.htm
And then, you just run the script to change the wordsize for 64-bit:
Also, after your migration, watch out for common performance issues:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_bad_poor_performance_upgrade_migration_32_64_bit.htm
Also, note that Oracle has changed the optimizer costing model from "IO" to CPU" in 10g, and shops that combine an upgrade to 64-bit servers with a 10g migration may want to look at changing the new default for _optimizer_cost_model.
Going 64-bit means that you can now allocate very large RAM data buffers and increase your shared_pool_size above two gigabytes. However, it is important to remember that there are downsides to having a super-large db_cache_size. While direct access to data is done with hashing, there are times when the database must examine all of the blocks in the RAM cache. These types of database may not always benefit from an upgrade to a 64 bit server:
Systems with high Invalidations: Whenever a program issues a truncated table, uses temporary tables, or runs a large data purge, Oracle must sweep all of the blocks in the db_cache_size to remove dirty blocks. This can cause excessive overhead for system with a db_cache_size greater than 10 gigabytes.
High Update Systems: The database writer (DBWR) process must sweep all of the blocks in db_cache_size when performing an asynchronous write. Having a huge db_cache_size can cause excessive work for the database writer. Some shops dedicate a separate, smaller data buffer (of a different blocksize) for high-update objects.
RAC systems: Oracle RAC and Grid does not perform optimally with super-large data buffer RAM, as available in 64-bit systems. You may experience high cross-instance calls when using a large db_cache_size in multiple RAC instances. This inter-instance "pinging" can cause excessive overhead, and that is why RAC DBA's try to segregate RAC instances to access specific areas of the database. This is why Oracle 10g grid server blades generally contain only 4-gig RAM.
Hope this helps. . .

Unable to open 11g R2 database now after trying an RMAN restore

Hi my database is not opening now.
What I was trying was to restore the database on my new server from latest database taken from my old live server and applying it on my new 11g DB (new server-database already created)
old server-11.1.0.7.0-windows 2003 server 32 bit
new server-11.2.0.3.0-windows 2008 64 bit server
The steps i have done which caused this , (After everything was working fine, i did these foll.steps and now all messed up):
The oracle database on this new server was already 11.2.3.0 -it was not upgrade, i directly installed 11.2.0.3.0 on it + applied latest patches etc.
I took RMAN backup from old server 11.1.0.7.0 oracle database.
Copied this backup to to the new server flash recovery area &every step of the restore was working fine -
in nomount mode, restored the control file from autobackup-fine
in mount mode, catalogued the files-fine (Backup from old live,copied to new live)
I restored&Recovered the database until the latest archivelogs.
Until the above steps-all worked fine like a normal recovery steps.
Then I gave "alter database open resetlogs" in RMAN prompt, it gave out error and from that point onwards I am unable to open the database now.
Unfortunately, couldnt grab full screenshot of the error in RMAN but the error basically said that bootstrap failed and i have to open the database with the upgrade option?
Please see in alert log as well

This is why you do backups both before and after doing other things.
So one way to do something like this:
Backup old db.
expdp old db.
Install new 11gR2, create database.
Back it up.
Turn off archivelog.
impdp
Turn on archivelog.
Back it up.
The general thought here is you would start over with the first new db backup if the imp didn't work, you turn off archiving to avoid generating lots of redo that would be for a recovery you would never do.
There is more than one way to do it (TIMTOWTDI), best way depends on details, including volume of data and platform changes. expdp/impdp has an over the network option if disk space is limited and network is fast.
I usually allow for several tries when going to a new box, since the new box will require testing anyways.

PL/SQL :ORA-04052 with Database link

i have created a database link in my producation database as following
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK <NAME>
CONNECT TO <USER>
IDENTIFIED BY <P/W>
USING <CONNECT STRING OF TARGET DATABASE
oracle version 9.0.2.8
OS : Windows 2003 EE R2 SP2
Using oracle failsafe 3.3.4 with windows cluster
Problem Description :
whenever i run my pl/sql procecdure to pull the data from the target database i get the following error
ERROR at line 3
ORA-06550:line 3 column 2

I have tested the same way in the test environment the same oracle version as well the OS but without oracle failsafe and windows cluster
the script goes smoothly with out any errors.
i have google and checked the OTN for all available solutions but still nothing its not getting throw
i will be very thankful for your replys and solutions
any farther clarification i am ready
thanks in advance

Hi,
This forum is for issues connecting to non-Oracle databases. As the problem is using PL/SQL to connect to another Oracle database then it would be better to post a thread in the PL/SQL forum -

Can not open database after restore...

Hi,
I am doing a system copy from a online backup of our production system to our qas system. It is AIX and Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 on both systems.
I have done the restore using the backup log file from the production system. I have run the control.sql script, applied 4 archive log files using "recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;". Last I run "alter database open resetlogs;", but here my problems start....
Here is what happends...
I apply the archive logs:

How Performance can be improved at Oracle Database level

Hi Everyone,
Need a suggestion ......
I m managing SAP Landscape of Retail Sector Client.
where SAP ERP PRD database size is : 2 TB.
at SAP Application Layer .... we have setup five application system to distribute load because around 1200 users work concurrently.
Out of these 1200 Users around 300 Users keeps on fetching
reports from database which worsen database performance.
We have changed parameters of Database to improve performance.
What we have thought to setup replica of PRD system .
On which Only Report Users will execute reports.
& that System will work as Disaster Recovery Site of PRD System.
In process of that We have restored the PRD Backup on another System. But How can we replicate daily changes of PRD System on Restored System.
One which we have thought by applying offline archive files.
    daily . But somebody has told us that we can not apply
    offline archive files of PRD System to restored system
    because that Restored database is in Open stage & being
   used.
(ii) Secondly, Incremental Backup which is very time-consuming action.
Please suggest , If you have an idea & I want to know How
offline archive log file application on DR Site .
Thanks in advance !!!
Points will be rewarded !!!
Thanks
Deepak !!!

Hmm.. might happen.

Oh - which ones? Why? Who told you to?

This setup does not work for SAP environments. To get reports out of a system with SAP the database must be open to writes.
> In process of that We have restored the PRD Backup on another System. But How can we replicate daily changes of PRD System on Restored System.
Such thing would be done via a Standby-DB.

That person told you the truth.
> (ii) Secondly, Incremental Backup which is very time-consuming action.
Depends on your reference. Compared to what is it very time-consuming?
Compared with a full DB-Backup this is likely to be the less time-consuming option.

> offline archive log file application on DR Site .
For a how-to in Standby-Setup you may want to have a look into the Oracle documentation like here [Introduction to Oracle Data Guard |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/concepts.htm#SBYDB00010]
> Thanks in advance !!!
You're welcome !!!
> Points will be rewarded !!!
Oh - nice !!!!!!!!!!
Now get a bit earnest as well:
From what you described it sounds like you're setup is a bit undersized.
If your report users use BI for their reports, than it may pay off to setup a seperate BI system that gets it's data from the ERP system automatically and not whenever a user starts a report.
Another option may be to consider using a RAC cluster - but this would be a very expensive option.
In any case the important first step has to be to find out, what the real cause for the performance degration is.
Perhabs the I/O Subsystem is the problem, perhabs the network. Perhabs another CPU would do wonder.
You'll never know - before you analyse this in depth.

How can I do a FULL Backup to Oracle 8i Database?

Hi,
We are using a product that uses Oracle 8i and we are trying to perform a FULL Backup to the database. I am not an oracle person and not sure how to do this.
Please also inform me on how to perform a FULL Restor for the backed up database. I would really appreaciate it.
null

Before I can amply reply to your post, I need to know what tools you have.
What is your O.S.?
What do you want to backup to? (Tape Drive/Hard Disk)
What time frame requirements do you have?
Are you running in Archive Log Mode? <-- (in case you do not know, log in with svrmgrl, connect internal, run ARCHIVE LOG LIST; and tell me what is reported on the top line of output.)
Do you have requirements that the database must be Online at all times?
Are you using 3rd party Backup Software, if so, which one(s)?
I know these are a lot of questions, but it helps me help you. :)
Rgds,

Retrieve data from a synonym in oracle database through db connect

Hi Everyone,
I have created certain synonym for some tables in oracle. I want to retrieve data from it through db connect but where through source system and then selecting database tables, only tables and views are available.
Synonyms are not available to create data sources and retrieve the data from it. Why is it so. Is this a limitation of db connect.
Can anyone please let me know about it.
Thanks,
Joshua.

Hi,
You want to import data from an external Oracle database into your BW 3.X. To do this, you can connect the external database to the BW 3.X release as a source system using the external database connect. BW 3.X here represents BW 3.0, BW 3.1 and BW 3.5 because in other (DB relevant) parts, all 3 versions are based on the same source code.
General information
The above function allows you to load data from an external Oracle database (not a BW database) into your BW 3.0 system.
There may also be constellations which cannot be used directly through the DB Connect access. However, it should be possible to find an adequate, customer-specific solution for most of these scenarios.
In such situations, the resulting work falls into the area of Consulting and cannot be handled via Support.
Successful implementation of a connection requires corresponding expertise and experience in the use of the source database in the areas:
                - Tools
                - SQL syntax
                - DB-specific functions
Corresponding knowledge of the source application is also required to ensure that semantically relevant data arrives in the BW system.
Procedure
You should execute the following steps to connect the source system (Q) to the BW system (BW):
Installing the client software on an BW application server
                     Of course, you only need to install the client software if you are using BW with a non-Oracle database.
                     Use the Oracle setup program on the database CD (runInstaller on Unix) to start the OracleInstaller. Follow the program instructions and the DB installation instructions to install the Oracle Client software on BW.
Testing connection setup from BW to Q
                     After you install the client software on BW, try to set up a connection from BW to the server on Q. You may need to adjust the tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora files for this, to introduce the Oracle systems (to which contact should be made) to BW. You can test the connection by executing the command "tnsping QDB" on BW to check whether the client has established contact to the QDB database on the Q system.
Creating a separate U user in Q
                     We recommend that you create a separate U user in Q for connection to BW. This means that authorization and administration questions can be solved centrally.
Displaying data sources in Q for the U user
                     To provide U data for users other than U, you can create views on other user tables as user U:
                     CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW viewname AS
                       SELECT * FROM QDB.tablename
                     You may have to grant SELECT privileges to user U in the QDB schema:
                        GRANT select ON QDB.tablename TO U
                     Of course, you can also restrict or reformat data in the view arrangement (for example, change from internal date format into the SAP date format). JOIN operations using several tables are also available.
                     !!! Synonyms do not yet work!!!
                     Synonyms that you can create as described below are another option for providing a complete table for the user U:
                       CREATE SYNONYM synoname FOR QDB.tablename
                     !!! Synonyms do not (yet) work!!!
                     After you have displayed the require data for user U, you can simply use
                       SELECT * FROM <view or table>
                     on the Q system to check which data is returned.
                     You can now open a link to Q as user U in the BW system with SQLPLUS and check, using the same SELECT, whether this data is also seen in the Oracle client. If this is not the case, there is probably a connection problem.
Creating a connection from BW to Q in BW
Including data sources of user U user in Q in BW.
Solution
Supported BW, Basis and BW 3.0B database versions, Basis 6.20 Support Package 2 (or higher)
      Oracle 8.1 (or higher, see below)
Possible problems
- Synonyms do not (yet) work!
Up to now, only tables and views have been used as data sources for the DB Connect from the R3 Basis. As soon as synonyms are also used in the Basis, you will be able to convert created views (or even replicated tables) to synonyms as a workaround.
With Basis 6.40 at the earliest, therefore as of BW 3.5, you will also be able to use synonyms. Until then, the following will help:
CREATE VIEW <view_on_synonym> AS SELECT * FROM <synonym>
- The source DB must have at least the release version of the BW DB.
Oracle only ensures the support of client-server links if the version of the client is not higher than that of the server. So if BW has Oracle version 8.1 and, as in the case of Dbconnect, is run as a client against the server of the source database, the source database must have at least release Oracle 8.1 or higher.
Of course, you have the option to install the Oracle client software of a lower version and then use this for the DB connect. This is also the procedure used to work with a DB connect on external databases of other vendors.
Furthermore, the implementation of the DBconnect function in BW uses SAP Basis functions. Specifications of Oracle 8.1 database catalogs are used here. The source database must therefore have at least Version 8.1.
- Oracle Client Software Version
If you want to connect from an Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, for the DB connect you naturally use the client software that you already installed on each application server.
If you want to connect from a non-Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, check item 3 of note 521230 to see which Oracle client software version is released with your BW R3 kernel and use this version.
- Date and time fields in Oracle and their conversion into SAP-compatible column formats
Example with a DATE field:
Since a SAP table does not have a DATE field (date values are NUMC(8) and time specifications are NUMC(6)), we will use the Oracle DBA_TABLES system table as an example.
    SQL> desc dba_tables;
The Oracle DBA_TABLES system table has a LAST_ANALYZED field. This is a DATE type field and is recognized as a date field of 7 characters by DBA_CONNECT. However, the import does not work because the DATE is a 7-byte conglomerate of "...century, year, month, date, hour, minute and second." (extract from the Oracle documentation).
To make this DATE field legible for DB connect, you must use the TO_CHAR function in a VIEW. This should display the following examples:
SQL> select LAST_ANALYZED from dba_tables
      where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The formatting used here is the default used implicitly by SQLPLUS.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'YYYYMMDD') as dat from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format YYYYMMDD and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a date.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'HH24MISS') as tim from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format HHMMSS and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a time.
You can use the following example for more detailed experiments:
SQL> select to_char(
       TO_DATE('03-FEB-2001 04:05:06','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
       'YY-MM-DD HH24-MI-SS') as datim from dual;
with the result:
DATIM
01-02-03 04-05-06
When you create a VIEW and use the TO_CHAR function (or other functions), you should easily be able to avoid problems with the interpretation of date/time specifications (and other reformatting).
Details about the functions and the formats are contained in the Oracle documentation.
- Special characters
A words that contain special characters can only be imported correctly if the code pages in BW and in the source system are identical. If the code pages are not the same, DB Connect can be used if the characters to be imported appear under the first 127 characters of the character set.
The use of multibyte code pages in the source system for saving data using character sets with more than 256 characters (Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, Korean, Chinese, Tagalog, Khmer, Arabic, Cherokee, and so on) can cause the characters to become corrupt.
For questions concerning the code pages, also refer to the FAQ note 606359 and question/answer 19 that appears there.

About spfile creating in oracle 10g while creating a new database

hi everyone,
i had this problem while i was creating a new database in oracle 10g.when running the database script, it gives an error about invalid option for create temporary tablespace. is it necessary to have an spfile created in 10g. when the script was not working,we tried to create spfile which gives error tht it does not match the parameter db_name. its taking the default db_name=orcl itself..tis not taking our new db name.
im creating it manually through sql prompt not through DBCA.the problem is that its still accepting the default db name. please send me the solution with syntaxes.
thanx

first of all, thanx for giuding me as im a student doing a course in this
what abt the creation of spfile.. in a documentation for steps in creating database, they have mentioned it as recommended in creating spfile.here are some notes regarding this ....for oracle 10g
Step 5: Create a Server Parameter File (Recommended)
Oracle recommends that you create a server parameter file as a dynamic means of maintaining initialization parameters. The server parameter file is discussed in "Managing Initialization Parameters Using a Server Parameter File".
The following script creates a server parameter file from the text initialization parameter file and writes it to the default location. The script can be executed before or after instance startup, but after you connect as SYSDBA. The database must be restarted before the server parameter file takes effect.
-- create the server parameter file
CREATE SPFILE='/u01/oracle/dbs/spfilemynewdb.ora' FROM
PFILE='/u01/oracle/admin/initmynewdb/scripts/init.ora';
SHUTDOWN
-- the next startup will use the server parameter file
EXIT
the error : db_name does not match with the parameter.
its still taking the default orcl database name

Error When creating a database on a newly upgraded home to 11.1.0.7

Here are the variables:
OS: LInux RHEL 5.2 64bit
Storage: ASM

This is a fresh install. We first installed 11.1.0.6. Only the software, no databases.
We then applied the 11.1.0.7 patchset to the following homes in the following order
1-CRS Home
2-ASM Home
3-ORACLE_HOME
*Note at this time we only have the software and no actual databases installed.
Once everything is upgraded to 11.1.0.7 (Confirmed by Opatch) we proceeded with installing a database using dbca.
Specified the oracle home and path to the right ones.
Once the install starts we get the following error message:

Did you choose in DBCA a predefined (with seeded databases) or a customized (new database) installation? If it is a predefined installation there is something wrong with the delivered datafiles,although the patchset should include an already patched set of datafiles. The error messages say, you have patched software,but un-patched datafiles.
