Leaf Block Dump / Output varies

Hello guys,
i have faced the following issues on a leaf block dump:
First)

When does one occur? Has anyone any idea?

Hi,
File is truncated by trace file limit. Yeah but the file is not big enough.. i only dumped one block.. and the limit is up to 10MB
But as far as I'm aware, a memory dump is normally not included in block dump. Did you check what's at the top? Really interesting... i have done the same on our test system on the same index.. and there the section leaf block dump includes the information. The same command on the same index (i have cloned the database 3 days ago to our test system).
Leaf block dump

----- end of leaf block dump -----Can this leaf block cleaned out (by deletes) and not include any pointers anymore?
I have compared the leaf block attributes:
-> kdxcoavs 3298 (with row#n entries)
-> kdxcoavs 6988 (without row#n entries)
So the dump were are no row#n entries has much more available space - this would be confirm my guess.

Interpreting an index data block dump

I have seen a few postings about reading index data blocks, mine doesnt quite look like those.

Some time ago, I wrote a python script to print decimal form integer values from an index block dump. I don't know if it will help you, but it may be a start. It only prints the integer equivalent of the first column in the index, as that is what I needed at the time.
It is called as...

Hi user646745
You didn't say why you need to do index block dump ?
Also take are that block structures and dumps some time are different from a ver to ver it 9i and 10g. Unless you now what exectaly you are looking for
Thanks

Index Range Scan / Deleted Leaf Blocks

Hello guys,
i have such a scenario on a big index / table which i can not reproduce on my test database, so i need to know how oracle handles the index range scan.
For example:
TABLE TAB with the following columns NR (number), I_DATE (date), TEXT (VARCHAR2(50))
INDEX I_TAB on the column I_DATE.
Now the index has blevel 2 and many leaf blocks. And now my question.
Query: SQL> SELECT * from TAB WHERE I_DATE < 10.10.2004
The index had stored some values which are a less than 2003 but these ones are already deleted (so the leaf blocks are gone to the freelist), but it was not reorganized.
The execution plan is a INDEX RANGE SCAN on the INDEX I_TAB. Does the branch block still have pointers to the deleted leaf blocks which contained only 2003 values before (and so the INDEX RANGE SCAN scans all these blocks too) or are the pointers to these leaf blocks deleted in the branch block?
Thanks and Regards
Stefan

You can verify it by yourself. See following:
SELECT count(*) FROM index_test;
==> 1569408
SELECT count(*) FROM index_test WHERE id <= 2;
==> 12
-- Delete all except first 12 rows
DELETE FROM index_test WHERE id > 2;
-- Query and SQL Trace
BEGIN
FOR C IN (SELECT /*+index(index_test index_test_idx) deleted */ * FROM INDEX_TEST WHERE ID < 1000000) LOOP
NULL;
END LOOP;
END;
SELECT /*+index(index_test index_test_idx) deleted */ *
FROM
INDEX_TEST WHERE ID < 1000000

==> leaf:3488, branch: 7
This means that almost all the branch and leaf nodes are read only for 12 keys.
You can cross check this with the result of "10200" event which traces cr reads. You would find out that the blocks that are read by the query are exactly same as all the index blocks.
This is what you mean? that the deleted leaf blocks(which contain no actual data) are read by range scan? Through the simple test, the anwer is "yes".

Block the output in R/3 if order is not compliant

Hello All
We are currently implementing SAP GTS compliance module. To integrated SAP GTS with the rest of the solution, we want to block the output for purchase orders and sales orders and the creation of the subsequent document.
For the creation of the subsequent document, there are some SAP notes related to it and it doesn't really create an issue for us
For the output, we are currently struggling to find a correct solution
So far, we had found the oss note 900555 to block the printed output for the Purchase order but how can we do it for the others ?
In addition, I didn't find any solution for the sales orders output ( expecially we hae some EDI messages that we want to block)
Currently we were investigating an other way to do it:
- Send back a user status that we will use as condition to determine the output. We have still some concerns about this solution because it means that by default we should put this user status as "non-compliant" for all the orders and only when the status is sent back from GTS we can execute the output
An issue that raise to me also the developper is that in R/3 the output determination is executed before the first call to GTS.
I hope that some members of the community have better solution which ideally can cover PO and SO with real time call
Thank you in advance
Nicolas

Hello Bastian,
We had the same issue and didn't find something useful to block the outputs completely.
Instead, for EDI Outputs probably you can have an extra text segment added in the idoc structure. And put the document compliant status as Yes/No in that segment. The document status will be available.
But however as we expect, the Outputs cannot be blocked. But atleast notification about the status can be sent to Third party. You can liaise with third party to have a logic implemented to check the status of this field and pass the information to destination.

How to download the blocked ALV output to PDF file.

How to download the blocked ALV output to PDF file.
I am able to download the BLocked ALV output in PDF format,
but the each bolck in ALV is displaying different pages of PDF.
In my report I have 4 block in 1 page, I am able to see the output in PDF but in different page.
How to avoid the Page-break in PDF.
Thanks,
Ravi Yasoda.

hi,
I believe that your have 4 containers on the screen with individual ALV display. in this case, there is no way to get combined PDF output to my knowledge.
However you can use Smartform/Sapscript as output which would allow you to display ALV in blocks and also print it in one.

Could not read boot block (input/output errror) powerbook g4

Hello
My friend gave me a powerbook g4 and a copy of osx lion, I would like to install it but the internal hardive is not available within the "select Destination" area of the installation process. I tried to repair the disk which is labelled Disk0s1, but shortly after it is underway i recieve this message.
**/dev/disk0s1 could not read boot block (input/output error) Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit. 1 non HFS volume checked, 1 volume could not be repaired because of an error.
Within disk utilities the Disk01s is grey, I can try to repair it but the above error occurs. Do you know what the problem is and how I can fix it?

Since you are going to install system fresh, it sounds like, you should erase the drive. Boot from the installer disc, then select the language but do not start the installer. From the menu bar, you should have either an Applications or an Installer menu. From one of the menus, you can then start Disk Utility.
From the drives and volumes pane, select the internal drive hardware listing.
This will now allow you to partition or erase the disc. Now click the Erase tab and select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and then click the "Erase" button. You can name the volume that will actually be created, like for instance "MacintoshHD" or whatever you want.)
Once the erase has completed, you need to check the information for the hard drive at the bottom of the window. Be sure that the partition scheme is Apple Partition Map. If for some reason it is something else, like GUID, you won't be able to install MacOS on it. You will need to click the Partition tab, click the "Options..." button and select Apple Partition Map, then click the "Partition" button.
Once this is done, then you can quit Disk Utility and you should be able to install Tiger on that HD.

ORACLE7/ORACLE8/OS에서 DATAFILE의 BLOCK DUMP를 얻는 방법

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 1999-05-24
Oracle7 / Oracle8 / OS에서 datafile의 block dump를 얻는 방법
'block dump'는 database 내의 block의 내용을 dump받도록 해준다.
이렇게 얻어진 dump에는 block 내에 포함된 모든 내용을 포함하는데 단, 이것은
OS level의 image dump는 아니며, oracle에서 user가 이해하는 데 도움이 되도록
정해진 SYMBOL로 표현되므로 이렇게 얻어진 내용을 해석하기 위해서는
Oracle에 dependent하며, 별도의 자료를 참조하여야 한다.
여기에서는 해석 방법은 포함하지 않으며 dump를 얻는 방법에 대해서만 기술하였다.
1. Oracle7에서 block dump 사용하는 방법
oracle7에서 block dump를 얻기 위해서는 항상 database가 OPEN 상태에서만 가
능하며, datafile도 ONLINE 상태여야 한다.
(1) dump하고자 하는 block의 DBA를 십진수 값으로 얻는다.
file 번호와 block 번호를 이용해 DBA를 얻는 방법은 <Bulletin:11508>을
이용한다.
(2) 다음 문장을 실행하여 dump 내용을 포함하는 trace file을 생성한다.
sqlplus system/manager
SQL>alter session set events 'immediate trace name BLOCKDUMP level <DBA>';
(3) 다음과 같이 trace file이 생성된 위치를 확인한다.
os>svrmgrl
SVRMGR>connect internal
SVRMGR>show parameter user_dump_dest
2. Oracle8 에서 BLOCK DUMP
Oracle7에서는 block dump를 얻기 위해서는 DBA를 얻어야하고 DBA를 이용하여
dump를 생성하는 sql 문의 syntax도 친숙하지 않은 것이었다. Oracle8에서는
보다 간단하고 사용자에게 익숙한 형태로 block dump가 가능하도록 하였다.
sqlplus로 접속한 상태에서 아래에 나열된 것과 같이 file 이름이나 번호,
block 번호나 범위를 지정하여 dump를 얻을 수 있다.
- ALTER SYSTEM DUMP DATAFILE {'filename'}|{filenumber};
- ALTER SYSTEM DUMP DATAFILE {'filename'}|{filenumber} BLOCK {blockno};
- ALTER SYSTEM DUMP DATAFILE {'filename'}|{filenumber} BLOCK MIN {blockno}
BLOCK MAX {blockno};
여기에서 blockno는 dump하고자 하는 block의 십진수 값이다.
예를 들어 다음과 같이 하면 된다.
- ALTER SYSTEM DUMP DATAFILE 1 BLOCK 5586;
- ALTER SYSTEM DUMP DATAFILE 1 BLOCK MIN 5585 BLOCK MAX 5586;
- ALTER SYSTEM DUMP DATAFILE '/u01/oradata/MYDB/system01.dbf' BLOCK 98;
주의: 그런데 이 때 잘못된 block file number를 입력하는 등의 잘못된 명령에도
불구하고 'Statement processed'라는 정상 처리 형태의 메시지가 나타난다.
이러한 경우 trace file에는 dump 내용 대신 다음과 같은 오류 메시지가
적혀 있다.
Error: alter system dump datafile: input file # 100 is too big
BLOCK 절을 생략하면 datafile의 모든 block에 대해서 dump가 생성된다.
이 때 trace file의 크기는 MAX_DUMP_FILE_SIZE에 의해 제한을 받으므로 전체
block을 모두 포함하지 않는 dump가 생성될 수 있다.
{filenumber} 를 사용할 때에는 database는 항상 OPEN된 상태이고 file은 ONLINE
이어야 한다. 그리고 이 때의 {filenumber}는 tablespace 내의 상대적인 값이 아닌,
절대적인 값이어야 한다.
'filename' 을 사용하면 같은 block size를 가지고 있는 다른 데이타베이스의
데이타화일도 dump를 할 수 있다. 이러한 경우에 dump를 수행하는 instance는

Leaf blocks,blevel,clustering factor

Hi,
I am trying to understand what is the meaning of
leaf_blocks,clustering_factor,blevel
Regards
MMU

For a non-technical but still pretty useful explanation of the CLUSTERING_FACTOR (and how not to use it!), see: http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/22
Leaf blocks are the index equivalent of table blocks: blocks of disk space in which your index entries are actually stored. Indexes also have branch blocks and a root block which act as 'signposts' to the leaf nodes: "If you're looking for the entries beginning with E, those are in that leaf block over there. Entries beginning with F start in that other leaf block there, though".
Depending on how many 'signposts' you have to read before you get to the actual leaf block entry you're interested in, the index can have a smaller or bigger "blevel". Sometimes, we talk about the index having a "height": if you have to visit a root node, which points you off to one of the branch nodes, which then points you to the leaf entry you want, that's a height of 3. It also happens to be a blevel of 2. The difference is probably not worth worrying about for now. Suffice it to say: an index with a blevel of (say) 2 is going to be a lot quicker and more efficient to use than one with a blevel of (say) 5.
The optimiser uses those statistics to decide whether or not it's worth its while using the index to satisfy a query or not.

Index leaf blocks???

Can anybody explain me the details of index leaf blocks?
What are the possible usage of those?

Hi DKar,
index leaf block is the smallest unit of a btree index, they are used to store the rowid of the indexed rows.
Their usage is transparent to you.
I suggest to take a look here:

Why Block Video Output?

I have just purchase a brand new shiny Yamaha AV amp and Yamaha iPod dock (which was supposed to be video compatible) with the hope of using the on-screen facility to select music tracks. But oh no, thanks to someone in Apples ludicrous decision to block video output unless you're using Apple's own dock and cables I can’t!
Apple - please unblock this ridiculous restriction!

Hi,
I'm not condoning it, but in my estimation this will not change. Apple implemented this to secure the video so that they could reach the agreements they have with the film companies regarding online purchasing and rentals. If the limit is ever officially removed I'm sure Apple would lose the iTunes Store content overnight. It's for this reason that the first video iPod (the fifth generation) can accept rental films.

Need explanation meaning from output "/var/crash/`hostname'/*"

Dear IT Experts,
Oncetime, I run command "ls -al /var/crash/`hostname`/* ".
This command give me output:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2 May 8 2007 /var/crash/drserv1/bounds
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 784890 Jan 5 2005 /var/crash/drserv1/unix.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 776755 May 8 2007 /var/crash/drserv1/unix.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 419938304 Jan 5 2005 /var/crash/drserv1/vmcore.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 276365312 May 8 2007 /var/crash/drserv1/vmcore.3
Do anyone can help me what this output mean? What can I do to prevent this "crash" file
appear anymore? because when I try to access one of those files, I got the strange characters.
No character can be undestood by people.
Please help
Thanks for any response.
Regards,
Ferianto

1. You said that I can delete unix.* and vmcore.* files. How about "bounds" file?
Can I delete it and What is this file used for?The bounds file is just a counter. On the first crash, "bounds" is 0 so the files are named unix.0 and vmcore.0. The next crash, bounds is incremented to 1 so the files are named unix.1 and vmcore.1. It's best not to touch this file.
2. You are right that I have no ability or tools to analyze it. Could you
tell me , is there any tools that we can use? (Maybe we can find the tools using "google" ?) or we must send them to SUN support?The way I understand it, back in the cowboy days the tools used to be available to everyone. Over the years, more and more 3rd party support vendors have popped up and started using the tools that was Sun's bread-and-butter.
As you can imagine, these tools were developed by Sun and was being used by their competitors to erode their market share so Sun has rightfully withdrawn them from the public arena and has reinforced agreements with customers, i.e. 3rd parties can no longer use explorer to provide support for Sun hosts.
So the answer to your question is yes, you can only send crash dumps to Sun for analysis. You can only obviously do this if you have a valid support contract.
3. Can you tell me what should I check if I want to now that my machine is in healty condition,please?I've answered this in your other post on "explorer".
Welcome to Solaris!

Wsdl problem - why do i need to name output vars?

I have a web service that is working (WSDL:
http://getanagram.com/wsdevel.wsdl).
I can access it from ColdFusion but not in the standard way. See
below for examples. The problem is that I don't want to specify the
output variables up front inside the call to the web service. I
want the two output variables to go into a single struct like all
the coldfusion documentation implies.
I'd like to be able to access it this way:
<cfinvoke
webservice="
http://getanagram.com/wsdevel.wsdl"
method="GetTypeScores"
returnvariable="foo">
<cfinvokeargument name="text" value="123 456 7890"/>
</cfinvoke>
Output: <cfoutput>#foo#</cfoutput>
But I get the error "Web service operation "GetTypeScores"
with parameters {text={123 456 7890}} could not be found."
Accessing it this way works PERFECTLY without errors but
requires I name the output variables in the call, which I do not
want:
<cfscript>
ws = CreateObject("webservice", "
http://getanagram.com/wsdevel.wsdl");
ws.GetTypeScores(text='123 456
7890',ContactScore="ContactScore",EventScore="EventScore");
</cfscript>
Contact Score: <cfdump var="#ContactScore#"
/><br>
Event Score: <cfdump var="#EventScore#" />
Exactly why is this happening?

The web service requires those parameters so you need to send
them
(nothing wrong with CF here):
<element name="TypeScores">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="ContactScore" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="1"/>
<element name="EventScore" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="1"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>

How to dump output to OC4J logging?

I wrote a webservice impl. class and tried to add some output to the log file. I assume the log file is log.xml. But I couldn't find any of my output. I was told that I could just use system.out.println for dumping the logging. It doesn't seem to work.
Please help.
Thanks,
Jason

It depends on the version of OAS I believe.
Now in my case, we were on OAS 10.1.2.x. OC4J is not standalone. It is a part of the OAS.
The system.outs and system errs go to
OASHOME/opmn/logs/OC4J~home~default~island~1ETC
This will be true if you do not redirect out and err to some other specific files. This will be mentioned in APP server OC4J instance JVM options (check opmn.xml).
Some more references

I am not sure about this is true for webservices implementation though.
Let us know what you find out.
