Manage Database option

I am using the DBA module in SQL Developer (3.0.04) and when I right-click on the database connection and select "Manage Database", I am prompted for a Password for the user I am successfully connected as in the main SQL Developer window. However, I am never able to connect successfully via the "Manage Database" option. After I enter my password and click Apply, the window that appears in the right pane shows "*Database Overall State: Invalid Username/Password*". I am trying to connect as a user that has DBA privilege and I also tried as the SYSTEM user.
I know for a fact the password is correct, however no matter what account I use, I keep receiving this error.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
Check the properties of the database connection. Perhaps you are specifying the default role rather than the SYSDBA role. That goes into the credential, of course. Unfortunately the first half of the error message is somewhat misleading, but ultimately does ask you to check the credential.
You can run this query on a connection with proper privileges to see which users are permitted SYSDBA.

New query for 'Manage Database' option in SQL Developer

Dear all,
I want to suggest a changed query for the 'Manage Database' option in SQL Developer (right-click on the connection), see the query below.
This query has the following changes;
- extra column with the Maximum disk space based on the datafiles (considering autoextend of datafiles); MAX_DATAFILES
- the PERCENT_USED and PCT_USED are based on the MAX_DATAFILES, as this is really important (and not the difference between ALLOCATED and USED)
- the results are shown in GB, as that is in my opinion more relevant in this time of data explosion
- rename of the column FREE to UNUSED_ALLOCATED, as this column identifies how much of the Allocated space is not used
I hope the query can replace the current one, to improve SQL Developer even more.
Thanks for the nice tool SQL Developer!
Kind regards,
Siebe

Very little technical information provided about the error.
"+IO error.+" - this likely refers to the client attempting to use a socket handle and the call to the handle failing.
+"The network adapter could not establish the connection.+" - this likely means that the IP address to connect to, could not be reached, or that the connection was not accepted on that port on the remote IP address. (typically hostname resolution errors would give a different error)
The easiest way to test connectivity is using the ping command to bounce an ICMP echo off the remote IP.
If that works, test access to remote port on that remote IP using the telnet command - this will check whether there is a service accepting connections on that port, and whether access to that port is allowed in case of firewalls en-route.

Manage Database in planning

HI,
I am work in planning application 11.1.1.3, today we lose the data for production application. we try to find out the root cuase for that, one of my team member, has used the manage database option with the Create/Refresh, at the time of we lose the data, one more reason is at the time of refresh most of the users are using the application and trying to export the data in to the application.
Please respond us is there any posibilities to lose the data while we are using the manage database options.
Thanks
Suresh

They may have run a create instead of a refresh, this would of recreated the essbase databases (plan types) so this means the data would have been lost.
Cheers

How to manage a data file using Business Contact Manager database tool

I set up BCM on my desktop and now want to share with the rest of the office. I downloaded BCM database tool on the C drive
of the server and all was well until I tried to move through the wizard. The only option that gets me to a data file is creating a database. However, I receive the error message "Cannot create a new database. The operation has been rolled back. Please
make sure the database service is running". How can I make this work? Truthfully, I don't want to create a new database - I have already set one up; Restore only gives me the database server instance but no choices for the database name list. I have installed
BCM on another co-workers desktop and allowed the database to be shared with her. What more am I missing? Why can't I get the server to see the data file?

Hi,
If the Database has not been shared, you can't connect to it.
Please also confirm you have been granted permission to access the shared Business Contact Manager database.
You can refer to this article below and there are some factors that you should consider:
Business Contact Manager cannot connect to the shared database
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/business-contact-manager-cannot-connect-to-the-shared-database-HA010262548.aspx
I hope it can be helpful.

Database options under UCM

With regard to this thread: Few interesting facts about database under UCM 10g what Oracle database options can be effectively used under UCM? The comprehensive overview of the options can be obtained here: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/options/index.html
Real Application Clusters* - this option can be used to increase the database performance and availability. It is fully transparent to applications.
Partitioning* - this option can affect performance, enable hierarchical storage management (using cheaper hardware to store large amount of data) and help with disaster recovery (backup/restore). I believe, if documents are stored in the database, this option is a must. Even if a project does not use HSM, partitioning of large tables such as FILESTORAGE will enable: a) faster backups - once a partition is "closed", it will not change - therefore, future backups can work only with "open" partitions and unpartitioned data; b) faster restores - large tables can only be partially restored - e.g. few "last months" and the system can be running whilst restoring the remaining data. Watch out for partitioning of metadata tables, though (DOCMETA, REVISIONS, DOCUMENTS)! At least, there are no clear criteria how these tables should be partitioned - and various checks and validations may actually require to have those tables restored fully before you may perform such basic operations like check-in.
Advance Security* and Database Vault* - these options may increase security, when content is stored in the database (no one, not even administrators might be able to reach the content unless authorized). The only drawback to that is that even if content is stored in the database, in initial phases it is anyway stored in the filesystem (vault), too, and the minimum retention period is 1 day
I will also mention two options that might look appetizing, but UCM probably does not benefit from them too much:
Advanced Compression* - compresses data in the database. This, and Hybric Columnar Compression used in Exadata, can do the real magic when working with structured data (just read a report from Turkcell, who compressed 600 TB to 50 TB, which means by 12). For unstructured data, such as PDF or JPEG, the effect might be very small, though. Still, if you have a chance, give it a try.
Active Data Guard* - Data Guard is a technology for disaster recovery. Advantage of Active Data Guard is that it allows using of the secondary location for read only operations, rather than leaving it idle (stand-by); this means, you might decrease sizing of both locations. With UCM, also do not forget about CONTENT TRACKER (which might require a "write" operation even for otherwise read only ones, such as DOC_INFO, GET_SEARCH_RESULTS, or retrieving a content item), but db gurus know how to handle even that. Unfortunately, Active Data Guard cannot be used with UCM at the moment, because not all the data is stored in the database and the secondary location might not be fully synchronized.
In my opinion, other options are not so relevant for a UCM solution.

Compression and Deduplication of SecureFiles LOBs, which is part of the Advanced Compression Option, can potentially deliver huge space savings, and performance benefits. If the content is primarily Office documents, or XML documents, or character-based (email?), then it will likely compress very well. Also, if the same file is stored multiple times, deduplication will cause the Oracle database to store only one copy, rather than storing the same document multiple times. There's more info on Advanced Compression here: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/options/advanced-compression/index.html

How to configure Enterprise Manager Database Control (EMDC) to make it work on 2 servers working (primary and standby) under DG rules

Hello everybody i use Oracle Database EE 11.2.0.4 with DG.
In those cases i need to get Enterprise Manager Database Control running against DB with no RAC and no DG i perform the following steps:
I Logon SQLPLUS as user SYS or SYSTEM, and drop the sysman account and management objects:
DECLARE
CURSOR c1 IS
SELECT owner, synonym_name name
FROM dba_synonyms
WHERE table_owner = 'SYSMAN';
BEGIN
FOR r1 IN c1 LOOP
IF r1.owner = 'PUBLIC' THEN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM '||r1.name;
ELSE
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP SYNONYM '||r1.owner||'.'||r1.name;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
DROP USER mgmt_view CASCADE;
DROP ROLE mgmt_user;
DROP USER sysman CASCADE;
After that i run
emca -config dbcontrol db -repos recreate
But what should i do in cases i have 2 servers working (primary and standby) under DG rules?

Hi ,
It is not possible to monitor/administer a Logical or Physical Standby database, i.e Data Guard, using Enterprise Manager Database Control. This is primarily due to the fact that Database Control is designed to monitor 1 database and a Data Guard environment, by definition, includes more than 1 database.
If you attempt to run emca against a standby Database, you will get an error like (i.e. ORA-01219: database not open).
Database Control, can, of course, be used to monitor the current Primary database (with no ability to administer or monitor Data Guard related functionality). In such a case, when failover occurs Database Control must be reconfigured to run on the new Primary database using the commands detailed in Note 278100.1 How To Drop, Create And Recreate DB Control In A 10g Database, section C. Recreate/ReConfig DB Control, Option 2. Recreate the DB Control Configuration Files and Repository.
Enterprise Manager Grid Control or Cloud Control provides the functionality for viewing, monitoring, and administering primary and standby databases in a Data Guard configuration.
Reference: Is it Possible to Configure Database Control for a Logical or Physical Standby Database? (Doc ID 315116.1)
You can use EM 12c cloud control to monitor and manager Standby DB effectively

Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control

Please help me.
Here's oracle installing step:
1. Install Oracle 11g software with "Advance" option. I just install software without creating a Data base at this time.
2. Create a Data base with DBCA
I couldn't see the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control at "Services " window while
"Chapter 3: Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Manager" says that:
This chapter introduces you to Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control. The Oracle Universal Installer installs Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control when you install the Oracle software. Enterprise Manager Database Control provides a Web-based interface that you can use to manage your Oracle instance and database.
Thank in advance!

Hi,
You didn’t create a Database that’s why you don’t have Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control.
Create Database with DBCA and you will get an option “Configure database with Enterprise manager” (step 5).
At the end of DB creation you will get a link for Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control.
Browse the link to open EM Database control.
If you choose to create DB with Oracle installation then you will get Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control.

Oracle 10g database options

We have Oracle 10.2. I used dba_registry to get database options. How to find these options' dependencies?
dba_dependencies has dependencies for all packages, funtions, procedures and triggers. But options are Oracle components.
My purpose is that we don't need some options and need to get rid of them. Before I do it, I need to see options' dependencies.
Please advise.
Thanks

What "things" are they asking you to remove?
Most likely this person or persons has no idea the danger and consequences of what they are asking.
The security of an Oracle database is not enhanced by removing anything that shows up in DBA_REGISTRY.
Here's the list:
SQL> select comp_name from dba_registry;
COMP_NAME
OWB
Oracle Application Express
Oracle Enterprise Manager
Oracle Ultra Search
OLAP Catalog
Spatial
Oracle Multimedia
Oracle XML Database
Oracle Text
Oracle Expression Filter
Oracle Rules Manager
Oracle Workspace Manager
Oracle Database Catalog Views
Oracle Database Packages and Types
JServer JAVA Virtual Machine
Oracle XDK
Oracle Database Java Packages
OLAP Analytic Workspace
Oracle OLAP APIWhat here compromises security?
I understand it is dangerous as an employee to tell an employer to back off. So feel free to point your employer to me and I would be happy to tell them what you may not be able to say.

Inventor Database vs Server Management Database

Greetings All,
I'm relatively new to the server management process and I'm spinning in circles trying to discern the differences of the aforementioned databases. Does the Inventory Database contain the pertinent information for the servers?
Can a Windows Server connect to a sybase database running on NW 6.5 OES?
What is required to query the inventory on a workstation connecting to the NW server?
The documentation is extreme, helpful yet complex at the same time.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Bill

I installed and configured the ODBC driver per the instructions but I still cannot see the Windows Server from the reporting feature. Do I need eDirectory installed on the Win box?
Some of the documentation references stopping the Novell Sybase service via Admin Tools but I have no such option? I have looked thru as much documentation as I can handle for one day and I am curious if there is single document/section I should focus on.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated <again>
Thx

Yes I believe the inventory contains information about workstations and
servers. While the server management database contains information about
TED and MMS such type of stuff. Sorry I have wondered that myself, but
haven't taken the time to completely dig it out.
>Can a Windows Server connect to a sybase database running on NW 6.5 OES?
To do what? report inventory?, Yes it can report inventory to a NW
inventory server.
>What is required to query the inventory on a workstation connecting to the
>NW server?
The odbc drivers. IIRC, they are stored on companion cd 1.
When you extract the ODBC zip containing the sybase drivers, look for a
text document explaining how to install the ODBC drivers.
Feel free to ask for more details.

Mimicking administrator services in policy managed database

HI All,
I have a policy manged rac with 5 nodes
on the first 4 nodes I would like to run service number 1 (eg srv_TDB)
on the remaining node I would like to run service number 2 (e.g. exp_TDB)
if node #5 failes, then exp_TDB should failover to node#4 while node#4 still active with srv_TDB service
this is easy achived with administrator managed database, however with policy managed , I dont have the preferred and avaailabe option .
ANy ideas on how to do that in a policy managed database?
10x,
sagsag

Hi,
The services will be in a serverpool, we cannot manage where and when theys will running in a policy managed. The serverpool determines that.
Even if you create two serverpool and create a service for each serverpool this won't work. Because the services from a database are exclusive from a serverpool and they cannot share between different serverpool.
I do this test and result was a service in each serverpool
eg. srvpool1 (node1,node2,node3) and srvpool2 (node2,node3) and two service srvdb1 and srvdb2. What's happens was : If the srvpool1 has srvdb1 running on node1 and node3, the srvdb2 will be runing only on node2, if you start srvdb2 on node2 and node3 the srvdb1 will be running only on node1. i.e theys don't share same node.
I also tried check using PARENT_POOLS, but this option is not valid to resources with prefix ora.* . Because resource with prefix ora.* must be managed only using srvctl and non ora.* resources can be managed by using crsctl.
Since srvctl does not have option to use PARENT_POOLS we cannot do that.
I really did not like not having control on services in the policy managed database. So, service to batch jobs we can create a singleton service (will run in one node) or create a Service uniform (all nodes) and using a Resource Manager to control it.
Riyaj said this in little words. I just complemented.

Levi Pereira

Discoverer Plus - Manage Link option is not working in Viewer

I am working on 10.1.2.3 Discoverer Plus. I have created one workbook with multiple worksheets (1 detail sheet and 4 Left Group Report.
I have created seperate links for 4 worksheets. Drill to Details is working fine in discoverer plus and parameter values passed as per the mapping in managed link option.
However, when I tried to access the report in Viewer, parameter values is not coming as per the mapping.
In detail sheet we have several optional parameters
from One summary Sheet, I am not passing all the values to the parameters in the detailed sheet.
Those column for which, I am not passing any value is coming as NULL (it should come blank as report is treating NULL as string), so no data found

Thanks Lloyd,
Drill Down is working fine in Viewer and Plus.
Parameter's passed from one sheet to another is also working fine in plus but in viewer I have some problems.
Here are the details of the problem I am facing.
I have 2 Summary Sheets and 1 Detail Sheet
Sheet 1: 3 Parameters (Summary)
Sheet 2: 4 Parameters (Summary)
Sheet 3: 7 Parameters (Details)
When I am clicking on Sheet1 to Drill down 3 parameters are having correct values but the 4 parameters which can't be passed to Sheet 3 is coming 'NULL' (NULL string value) so detail report is not showing any data. Similarly for Sheet 2 4 parameters are coming as expected but 3 are coming as NULL.
When I am defining Manage Link Option, I am doing the mapping for 3 Column for Sheet 1 rest 4 columns are BLANK (no info).
I hope now my problem will be clear.
Thanks & Regards

Manually Manage Music Option get error The iPod cannot be updated error(-50

I am following the instructions on how to move music to a new computer. When I get to the step "Switch the iPod to manual update and enable disk use" and try to apply the 'Manually manage music' option, I get the following error: 'The iPod (my iPod) cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50). I have tried moving my dock between the two USB ports on my Dell but nothing works..can someone help?

I tried some additional things and it seems to have fixed the problem.
First, I forced the iPod Service to close using the Windows task manager (control-alt-delete and then closing it). I then restored my iPod to its original factory settings using that option in iTunes.
I renamed the iPod and then set up what I wanted to sync with it. I have made a couple of changes and they have worked.

And where to get download this.
Thank u..!

The only way you can get 9iR1 release software is by asking it to your Oracle representative. The oldest 9i release available for public download is 9iR2.
You could try the administrative 9iR2 client, it can work with 9iR1 releases.
