Linking Oracle Process id with windows process id

hi,
i am using oracle database 11g(11.1.0.6.0) in windows 2003 server. i have an oracle session established through an application server. i have found the process id of that session by comparing the v$session and v$process tables. Now i want to compare this process id with windows os process id. i have checked the process id in the windows task manager of the application server from where the oracle session is established,but the process id is not present. Even i checked in the windows task manager of the database server where the database is installed, even there i am not able to find this session process id. Can anyone help me out in this????
Regards,

Sybrand has pointed you in the right direction - each session is a thread in the database instance's process. That makes it a little difficult to see the performance characteristics of a single session from the operating system. However, with WMI calls (WQL) from the operating system, you can associate the threads in the database instance's process with the actual resource usage of that thread, and then using regular SQL statements drive back into V$SESSION for additional information.

  • Pointers for optimizing system performance (run time) while running DP process chain with parallel processing

    Hi Experts,
    We are running APO DP process chain with parallel processing in our company, we are experiencing some issues regarding run time of process chain, need your help on below points;
    - What are the ways we can optimize process chain run time.
    - Special points we need to take care of in case of parallel processing profiles used in process chain.
    - Any specific sequence to be followed for different processes in process chain - if there is some best practice followed.
    - Any notes suggesting ways to improve system performance for APO version 7 with different enhancement packs 1 and 2.
    Any help will be really appreciated.
    Regards

    HI Neelesh,
    There are many ways to optimize performance of the process chains (background jobs) in APO system.
    Firstly I would recommend you to identify the pain areas (steps) which are completing with more runtimes. Then each one of the step has got different approaches to decrease the runtime.
    Like you may end up with steps like infopackage executions, DTPs, DP mass processing jobs etc which might be running with more runtimes. So now target each one of them differently and find out the ways to optimize. At the same time the approach you follow should be technically possible with basis perspective (system load and utilization) as well.
    And coming to parallel processing, you can use parallel processing for different for different jobs. You can further r explore on the same using parallel processing. Like loading an infocube, mass processing, infopackage execution, DTP, TSCOPY etc.
    Check the below link for more info

    Let me know if you require further info.

  • Compliance of Oracle 10g R2 with Windows XP SP2

    Hello everybody
    I am representing my company for making a decision of deploying appropriate versions for Oracle and Windows.
    The vendor suggested Oracle 9 on Windows Server 2003, whereas we opted for deploying Oracle 10g R2 with Windows XP SP2.
    According to the vendor
    XP is not a true 'server' product and therefore does not provide many server functions and may have restrictions on numbers of users that can connect.
    If the vendor's notion is correct, would anyone explain the limitations/restrictions of our solution.

    One of the first problems that you will encounter, inbound connections limit in Windows XP:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314882
    Memory allocations are handled differently between Windows 2003 and XP (paged pool, non-paged pool, file system caching, etc.):
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778.aspx
    In some cases the memory allocation differences can cause XP to display errors indicating "unable to allocate memory from the paged pool" or the non-paged pool, when Windows 2003 would otherwise continue functioning without problem. Windows 2003 offers a registry change to work around this problem:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312362
    Microsoft will stop making Windows XP available for resale in June 2008, except on extremely light-weight computers, and update support will end before update support ends for Windows 2003.
    There are typically differences in the hardware that ships with a computer loaded with Windows XP and one that ships with Windows 2003. You will have a hard time finding a computer with Windows XP that ships with redundant power supplies, dual backplanes, SCSI RAID 10 support, dual network interfaces, built-in system/diagnostics, etc.
    While Windows 2003 is the server equivalent of Windows XP, there are many features in Windows 2003 that are not available in Windows XP. XP is designed to be rebooted frequently (shut down every night, or reboot once a week or once a month) and is geared toward foreground application performance. Windows Server 2003 is designed to be rebooted infrequently (apply security updates, recover from rare system fatal bugs) and is geared toward providing good background application performance (the Oracle database instance would be a background application).
    If you are unfamilar with Windows Server 2003, take a look at the books "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Administrator's Companion" by Microsoft Press and "Mastering Windows Server 2003" by Sybex. Compare what you find in those books with what you might find in Microsoft's Windows XP Resource Kit book.

  • Oracle 8i compatible with Windows Server 2008?

    Does anyone know whether Oracle 8i can be run on Windows Server 2008? My organization has only a license for Oracle 8i and we're buying new servers coming with Windows Server 2008.
    Thank you, Chaiyong

    There is no such thing as a licence for "Oracle 8i" there is only a licence for Oracle. Do you mean that you're out of support ?
    In any event 8i is desupported.
    Best bet is to install P2V a VMware Windows 2000 and leave it at that.

  • Oracle not working with windows server 2003

    After upgrading from windows 2000 with oracle 8i to windows 2003 server I have tried 8i, 9i and now 10g with no success. I can not connect to the oracle database. Using the oracle net configuration assistant and through my asp pages I get the following error:
    ORA-12170:TNS Connect timeout occurred
    I can TNSPING the database.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    The server is in the DMZ.
    Protected by a microsoft ISA Firewall.
    A Windows 2000 machine with the same Oracle version can see the database through the same Firewall.
    We can talk to the database using SQLplus but not using IIS or testing using the Oracle net Configuration tool.
    the only other factor that might be relevent is that it takes two attempts to connect with SQL plus. the first always gives a connection timeout.
    Despite this none of these problems are present on a Windows 200k server

  • Does Oracle 10g  work with Windows 7?

    Hi All,
    I am using windows 7 ultimate 32 bit edition. does oracle 10g and forms & Reports 10g work with that? plz tell me.

    Are you asking whether it is certified (i.e. whether Oracle has tested it and verified that it works)? Or are you asking whether it is an unsupported configuration that happens to work (more or less)?
    Oracle hasn't certified any available version of Oracle on Windows 7. It is projecting that 11.2 will be certified on Windows 7. So it's not a supported configuration. Now, it's entirely possible that it could be installed and might work reasonably well. But I'd expect that a few things wouldn't work-- whether those are features you happen to be using, though, is a different question.

  • Oracle v 9 with Windows Server 2008 and odbc

    Hi.
    I've got a customer that has a windows 2008 server and I need to connect to an oracle database from a .net application from this server.
    First I thought it was easy to configure an odbc connection on the computer and then just use it but it seems that I need to install "oracle client" first.
    Problem, it seems that it's not possible to find this "oracle client" for oracle version < 9 (it's running somehting like 8.1.6 ) for windows 2008
    I have also try to directly use .net assembly to avoid odbc but i've got the same error message "oracleconnection need oracle client installed"
    Is there a solution ?

    A 10.2 Oracle client was certified to connect to an 8.1.7 database (8.1.7 has been decertified, so all certifications are past tense). A 10.2 Oracle client is certified on a Windows 2008. So it should be possible to install a 10.2 client on a Windows 2008 server and connect to an 8.1.7 database.
    I can't guarantee that this will work, just that it appears that it should. I would be very hesitant to have this mix of very new technologies connecting to very old technologies because you're definitely pushing the envelope. It generally doesn't make a lot of sense to stay with a version of Oracle that hasn't been supported in years if you want to run the latest version of Windows on the client machine-- if this is a system that is going to continue into the future, you would generally want to keep everything relatively current; if this is a legacy system that is being phased out, you would generally want to leave everything on older versions.

    This should be a workaround for your problem. Let me know if it works or not.
    1. Create a temporary directory on your server.
    2. Copy the contents of the Oracle RDBMS Server CD to the temporary directory created in step 1.
    3. Search the directory structure created in step 1 for the existence of the filename symcjit.dll.
    4. Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.
    5. Run the setup.exe from the \install\win32 directory and install Oracle 8.1.x.

The risk to the user community in production is too great, especially in that 'it may appear to work, but may just as easily run into an obscure incompatibility'.
