As opposed to a production database server NOT in production? ;-)
There has been a lot of discussion on that MetaLink note. My oracle rep explained to me that they will support you, but if push comes to shove, you may have to prove to them that the issue being worked on a given SR can be reproduced outside of the VMware environment. Actually, I think that is pretty well stated as such in the note. They won't tell you to jump in a lake as soon as they hear "VMware", but there may come a point where you have to prove that the problem is NOT related to VMware.
I can state for a fact that some of Oracle's largest customers are running under VMware and currently moving more of their stuff in that direction.

All the processes are used whenever you are going to be having the database up and running. There is nothing like production database difference which is going to make any difference in the working. For the client's connection to get established, it would be the listener process.

Tempdb getting full but nothing is running on database server.

Hi Experts,
I observe stange behaviour last from couple of days tempdb log getting full periodically but looking at the running transaction nothing is running specfically on server whihc cal fill tempdb log.
can anyone suggest in this.
Shivraj Patil.

To what size is the tempdb tlog growing? Make sure you don't have auto-growth disabled on the tempdb tlog file. Also make sure there isn't a low max size specified for the tlog file. Only UNDO information is stored in the tempdb log (no REDO information),
so it should NOT bloat so much as other user DBs unless you have a runaway query consuming too much tlog space.

Production database server fails to boot

I Have a sparc 64 Solaris 10 Sun server T5220, which I had to reboot today due to power outage and ever since it has failed to start up. It gets as far as the banner and that's it. There is no ok prompt for the light out management thingy or shell prompt. I'm using a Linux terminal connected to the serial port to access the server.
APart from a flashing green power light on the server front nothing else is happening. I believe it may be a San issue but have no way of knowing as I can' t access the Hitachi storage array web front end. I'm desperate for some advice and will be most gratefull for any pointers.

As Yingkuan stated, this is not an Oracle related issue, but an OS issue. I suggest you to contact your OS administrator or your OS support services to solve this issue.
If the memory bank got corrupted, then most probably this was due to a shortcut or a voltage peak that may have affected not only memory but also other hardware areas, which would most probably lead you to an unstable hardware. It is difficult to diagnose, it could be also that the memory banks were deffective from origin.

How to make Forms 9i User Exits run on DB server.

We have a memory resident C programs developed in Oracle EE 7.3.4 and Dev2K (charecter based) on HP OpenVMS. Since the application is character based forms/reports - all the components are configured in one single server. There was no problem for us to write user exits and run C programs on the DB server.
Now we want to migrate to Oracle 9i and 9iAS.
My big question is How can we call memory resident C programs running in database server from 9iAS node. 9iAS node is separate Windows 2003 server in the 9i implementation.
Any suggestions on how we can implement this. We understand that WebUtil runs userexits on the client PC. We need similar functionality to run on the DB server. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Whoops, meant to include this:
OS: All clients on WinXPPro. Forms are hosted in an simple open-access folder on a server running SqlServer 05 (no SharePoint yet). I'm designing the new form in Adobe Acrobat 9.2 Pro based on a Word 2007 document.
Thanks again!

Htmldb 1.6 and 10.2 database server

Hi,
I've been trying to find out is it supported to upgrade database which hosts htmldb 1.6 to 10.2. In htmldb 1.6 install document it says htmldb 1.6 should be installed to 9i or 10.1 database. I was not able to find anything from certify for HTMLDB. Can you please let me know is htmldb 1.6 certified against 10.2 database server.
Thanks,
Nina

Nina - 1.6 and 10.2 will work. The install guide for 1.6 doesn't mention 10.2 because it was published 2 years ago.

ARCHITECTURE OF SAP R/3 AND APPLICATION SERVER AND DATABASE SERVER IN ABAP

ARCHITECTURE OF SAP R/3 AND APPLICATION SERVER AND DATABASE SERVER IN ABAP?
PLEASE EXPLAIN

hi
Presentation Server
It is actually a program named sapgui.exe.
It usually installed in users workstation.
The interface accepts the input from the user in the form of keystrokes, mouse-clicks, and function keys, and sends these requests to the application server.
It receives and displays the result from the application server.
Application Server
An application server is a set of executables that collectively interpret the the ABAP/4 programs.
Each application server has a profile called application server profile, that specifies its characteristics when it starts up and while it is running. It specifies:
1. Number of processes and its types.
2.Amount of memory each process may use.
3. Length of time a user is inactive before being automatically logged off.
If your ABAP/4 program requests information from the database, the application server will format the request and send it to the database server
Database Server
The database server is a set of executables that accepts database requests from the application server.
These requests are passed on to the RDBMS (Relation Database Management System).
The RDBMS sends the data back to the application server.
The RDBMS may run on database servers computer or may be installed on its own computer.
The components of application server are dispatcher, dispatcher queue, work process.
All requests that come in from presentation servers are directed first to the dispatcher.
The dispatcher writes them to the dispatcher queue.
The dispatcher pulls the requests from the queue on a first-in, first-out basis.
Each request is then allocated to the first available work process.
A work process handles one request at a time.
The work process needs two memory areas, the user context and the roll area.
The user context is a memory area that contains the information about the user.
The roll area is a memory area that contains about the program execution.
User Context
User context is a memory area that contains the characteristics of a user that is logged on the R/3 system.
1)It holds, users current settings.
2. The users authorizations.
3. The names of the programs the user is currently running.
When a user logs on, the user context is allocated for that logon. When logs off, it is freed.
Roll Area 
A roll area is a memory that is allocated by a work process for an instance of a program.
It holds the information needed by R/3 about the program execution, such as: 1. The values of the variables
2. The dynamic memory allocations
3. The current program pointer.
Each time a user starts a program, a roll area is created for that instance of the program.
If two users are using the same program at the same time, two roll areas will exist-one for each user.
The roll area is freed when the program ends.
Both roll area and the user context play an important roll in dialog processing
pls reward points dor useful ans
regards

Database refresh from production to test database

Dear All,
i want to refresh data on test database using production database.Test and production database has same backend structure.
i am using following steps.Please correct if i am wrong any where.
1)Take Full export from producion database
2)DROP SCHEMA ON test database.SKIP schema like sys,system and other oracle schemas.
3)do full import on test database.
is this correct way to refresh the data on other enviornmet.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can do one correction here :
Instead of taking full export backup , take export of only those schemas which you want to refresh.
You can use datapump to make it faster.

Populate archive logs from production (Solaris) to new production(Linux) db

I want to migrate my production database(Solaris) to different environment(Linux)
After production database migration my production database(Solaris) will be up and running for 2 days.
We are going to check applications for 2 days on temporary production(Linux) database.
For 2 days my primary database(Solaris) will be up and running and generating archive logs. After that i want to populate those 2 days archives to temporary database(Linux).
Question 1: How would i populate 2 days archive logs from primary database(Solaris) to new production environment(Linux)
Is there any way/utility do apply generated archives to different database?\
I would be thankful for any expert suggestion.
Thanks,

Is there any way/utility do apply generated archives to different database?\They have to be applied to the same database (identified by DBID).
As soon as you OPEN the Linux database (and do any transactions therein), it diverges from your Solaris database. You cannot apply archivelogs of the Solaris database to the Linux database.

Runnin oracle apex on a different server to the main production database

Hi,
I'm new to apex. I have a large prod db 20TB+. We want to have some sort of a simple frontend to our data warehouse. We would like to use apex.
However we do not want to install APEX schema's etc in our production database.
What we want to do is to install apex binaries and a dedicated database for APEX schema's on a seperate server. Then use this installation to run UI's for our main production database.
Is this sort of confirugation possible.
Thanks and regards,
Pritesh
Edited by: jainprit on Nov 7, 2010 10:29 PM

Well yes, you can use database links to access your DWH tables/views from your APEX Database.
Search the forum, there should be plenty of threads dealing with database links and APEX.

Peter

Need to know if Firefox 6 is compatible with Citrix XenApp Server 6 running on Windows Serve r2008 R2 virtualized on a VMWare environment. Thanks in advance!

We are setting up a new environment for a client based on Citrix XenApp Server 6 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 which is virtualized on a VMWare hypervisor. Client uses Firefox and we need to know if it is going to work or not. If not, what is the root cause (i.e. XenApp, Windows Server 2008 R2, virtualization).
Thanks again! :)

I only ask because, in the past we were able to install a related product, InDesign CS5 in Citrix. In fact, Adobe had published documentation for doing exactly that: here. I just haven't seen anything similar for Illustrator CS6 and wanted to check.

Recovering production database after a loss to Prod database server and SAN

So I was asked this morning... can we recover our database if we lose both the database server and the SAN.
A bit of information:
Database: 10gR2
Using ASM
Backing up to ASM
SAN is onsite
My initial response was of course we backup at least twice a day, and then once a week move those backups to an offsite location.
Then I started thinking about it some more. If we lose the SAN we have offsite backups of the entire SAN once a week so we could recover the SAN. If we were to lose the server we would lose the diskgroups where the backups are being stored.
So my question is… and don’t laugh for me never thinking about it before please lol, but do I need to backup the ASM instance in order to be able to restore ASM to be able to get to my backups which are stored inside ASM diskgroups? If so do I need to do this old school by shutting it down and backing it up since there isn’t any archiving going on? If not does anyone recommend a certain way of going about this type of thing?
Thanks in advance
Luke

Hi Luke,
I think the answers to your questions are fluid, and can be stated as "it depends". If your SAN backup was created as a "snap", for example, a BCV on EMC systems, then likely you can get all your database in your ASM diskgroups. As long as all the disks in the diskgroups were snapped at the same time. Really, though, your best bet is always an RMAN backup which can be done even if your database is not in archive log mode. You can use rman to stop the database, restart it to mount mode and then back up the entire database, though I would suggest that if this is a production system that you do run in archive log mode.
Cheers!

Running oracle database xe (express edition) on windows server 2008 r2

Is it supported to run Oracle Database XE on Windows Server 2008 R2?
Database XE is only supported as 32-bit. Current builds of Windows Server 2008 only come in x64 configurations.
Here are the Database XE system requirements for windows:
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm]
The docs say that 32-bit windows is required, yet they also say that windows server 2008 is supported.
Windows Server 2008 R2 came out in 2009, and in R2 they eliminated 32-bit OS (though there is the WOW64 subsystem to run 32-bit programs within the 64-bit OS).
See:
- [Wikipedia page about windows server 2008 with info on R2|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2008#Windows_Server_2008_R2]
- [Wikipedia page on "windows 32-bit on windows 64-bit"|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOW64]
Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,
Is it supported to run Oracle Database XE on Windows Server 2008 R2?No.
The docs say that 32-bit windows is required, yet they also say that windows server 2008 is supported.So this means that only 32bit versions of 2008 will be supported.
Windows Server 2008 R2 came out in 2009, and in R2 they eliminated 32-bit OS (though there is the WOW64 subsystem to run 32-bit programs within the 64-bit OS).Which is probably why 2008 R2 is not supported.
You can either take the VM approach and install a 32 bit Windows or 64 bit Linux host, or you can queue in the list of persons waiting for a 64 bit Windows release. See the following thread for details (and the queue) for the latter: {thread:id=2277728}
