MANUAL ORACE 10G DATABASE FAILOVER PROCESS

Gurus,
We have 3 unix boxes/hosts (SAN) - each box has few 10g databases. we would like to have a manual failover process of the oracle databases at a high level - how can we make all LUNS visible to all 3 hosts without destroying consistency of how ASM has those mapped.
The concern for us - the LUNs that are relevant to the primary database on each host are only visible on that host, meaning that if we present all LUNs to all hosts, we might 1). get a naming mismatch between the devices that ASM is aware of and consequently 2). currupt data
anybody woked on these type of failovers, please advise,
Thanks,

Oracle 10G Database Control and Scheduling OWB Process Flow

Does anyone know how to go about scheduling an OWB Process Flow from
Oracle 10G Data Base Control. I knew how to do this with Oracle Enterprise Manager 9.2 but we recently upgraded to Oracle Db 10G and the interface has changed significantly.
Now the interface seems to require a PL/SQL stored procedure to be executed.
Is there a template procedure that is installed with 10G Data Base Control as there was for 9.2 i.e. oem_exec_template.sql?
Thanks! Deadline approaching fast...
Marion

I've used the oem_exec_template.sql successfully with OWB 10.1 and Oracle 10G Database Control, with a little trial and error at first.
I'm assuming that your job execution environment is set up correctly, ie. that you can properly execute jobs via the host agent.
1. Log on to Database Control as SYSTEM, select Jobs from the links at the bottom of the page
2. In the Results section, Create Job, select "SQL Script" and press Go
3. In the General section, enter Job Name, and as SQL Script enter e.g.:
@/u01/app/oracle/owb_oracle_home/owb/rtp/sql/oem_exec_template.sql owb_runtime WF_LOC PROCESS MY_PROCESS , ,
4. In the Databases section, add your target database
5. In the Credentials section, I select "Override Preferred Credentials" and use the agent account (oracle on my Linux system) and db user owb_access (OWB Runtime Access user)
6. Review Schedule tab and submit
Comments on step 3:
- the oem_exec_template.sql script must be installed according to the path specified in step 3, on the database host where the OWB Runtime Repository is located
- owb_runtime is the owner of my OWB Runtime Repository
- WF_LOC is the name of my Workflow Location as seen in OWB Deployment Manager
- MY_PROCESS is the name of a deployed Workflow Process
- the commas indicate that I don't supply any system or custom parameters.
- step 3 is actually a shell command line that is interpreted by eg. /bin/sh on Unix or cmd on Windows, and must obey proper quoting rules. On windows, I had to specify the empty commas as "\," (including dblquotes)

Connect Non SAP Oracle DB and MSSQL DB to SAP BW 7.0 Orace 10g system

Hi All,
Well I have a scenario, where I have to connect Non SAP Oracle 9i DB and MSSQL DB (2000, 2005) to SAP BW 7.0 Orace 10g system.
There are all together 4 Non SAP systems to be connected.
Up till now I have understood that in order to have to integrate Oracle 9i to BW system - TSNNames.ora has to be updated, then create new Logical system, then Create Source system in RSA1 with all the required information, Create user at Oracle 9i end.
As far as MSSQL Server is concerned - Client Software + DB Shared Library has to be installed in BW server.
Could anybody please guide me in the complete Basis Activities including above to complete the process.
I tried to create Source System, the initial screen has fields - Logical System, Source System & Type and Release.
I have created the Logical system through Tcode SALE
How to create Type and Release - for DB Oracle 9i & MSSQL 2000/2005.
Does OS version of DB & BW also matters ? Do we need to have that information as well.
Thanks & Regards

Do we need to manually update Listener.ora as well so as to function.
All this is not letting me create Source system.
Gives me following errors
TNS-12514 TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect
descriptor
Cause: The SERVICE_NAME in the CONNECT_DATA was not found in the
listener's tables.
Action: Check to make sure that the SERVICE_NAME specified is correct.
TNS-12541 TNS:no listener
Cause: The connection request could not be completed because the listener is
not running.
Action: Ensure that the supplied destination address matches one of the
addresses used by the listener. Compare the TNSNAMES.ORA entry with the
appropriate LISTENER.ORA file (or TNSNAV.ORA if the connection is to go by
way of an Interchange). Start the listener on the remote machine.

10g RAC startup process

Can sombody tell me how the RAC instance will start. I know like CSS is the first process to start and then what happens how everything comes up.

ThanksStopping the Oracle RAC 10g Environment
The first step is to stop the Oracle instance. When the instance (and related services) is down, then bring down the ASM instance. Finally, shut down the node applications (Virtual IP, GSD, TNS Listener, and ONS).
$ export ORACLE_SID=orcl1
$ emctl stop dbconsole
$ srvctl stop instance -d orcl -i orcl1
$ srvctl stop asm -n linux1
$ srvctl stop nodeapps -n linux1

answered by ssolbach
Just a minor comment on the stop nodeapps.
While it is fine to stop the nodeapps on the server, the drawback to this is, that the VIP will not failover if you stop the nodeapps, but will be stopped.
Hence if you only shutdown one server, then you are causing clients to fail to connect to the VIP and having to wait for the TCP/Timeout.
So if you are not going to shut down all the server, but just want to shutdown one node, you should failover the VIP the the other node.
See: Note 749160.1 Vip Does Not Failover When Nodeapps Stopped
So it is sometimes better instead of stopping the nodeapps, to simply shutdown the cluster with crsctl stop crs (which will failover the VIP).

Regards1) As Dan says - 10.2.0.5 has not been released yet. There is a place holder, but ...
2) Each and every patch and patch set has an associated README. Ignore that at your own risk.
3) A person installing the software should be familiar with the Installation Guide, the Upgrade Guide, and the Universal Installer and OPatch reference manuals. For 10g, these are

Error executing a package on Oracle 10G database

Hi,
I've a package on Oracle 10G database which accepts xml string as input,loads it into XMLDOM and does some processing.
When I execute this package from .Net 2.0 client,I get the following error:
**Error**
err ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00216: invalid character 0 (0x0)

**Error**
But when I execute the same package from .Net client 2.0 on Oracle 9i database, it seems to work fine.The xml which I am sending is well-formed one.
Where am i going wrong?
Please help.
Thanks in advance...!
Regards,
Amit

Check the xml strings passed as input . One of the xmls may be malformed.

I go to the DOS console and type:
c:> sqlplus scott/tiger@ORCL
and I get:
ERROR: ORA-28000: the account is locked
I did this right after I restarted my computer.
When I use the Enterprise Manager at:
http://localhost:5500/em/
I get for ORCL:
Status: Status Pending
Status Pending Since: Unavailable
Seems that I can never get the database started properly?! When I press the Startup/Shutdown button I get:
Current Status: open
This is the correct current database status, although it doesnot match the current status in the sitemap page
What does this mean? Do you think this may contain the clue to the answer to this problem?
When I restart the Database I get the same status: unavailable.
I need your help to resolve this problem. The alternative is to revert back to Oracle 9i DB Server. Thank you in advance.
gkk

I can help you with the SCOTT account being locked. Try:
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
alter user scott identified by tiger account unlock;

Oracle 10g - Database does not respond to the application users

Hi all,
I am using ORACLE 10g database with 75 users connections 50 local and 20 remote users using ADSL and dial up modem. Operating system on server is
Windows 2003.
All of a sudden users making the entry get disconnected getting the error as
ORA-12516: TNS:listener could not find available handler with matching protocol stack
Other case users when using the appliaction get their PC hanged and connection
to oracle fails again. they cannot login to the application that time, the error is
ORA-04031: unable to allocate %s bytes of shared memory ("%s","%s","%s","%s")
Twice a day the users trying to login cannot access the database server.
Front end application is in VB using exe file. When the users cannot logon
to the database. I manually stop the ORACLE services(including DB console) and
then stop the listener.
This practice is going on since last two months.
Server Scenario
After Installing Oracle Standard Edition 10g.
System tablespace utilization is 98.5% which is 465 MB out of total 470 MB.
There is only one Rollback Segment named as SYSTEM.
when we install 9i 4 rollback segments as RO1, RO2, RO3, RO4 are created
by default.
Do I need to add the datafile to SYSTEM table space as its current usage is 99.15% and its auto extend is ticked on using auto extent as 10 MB. I tried adding another datafile during weekend downtime. when I resumed on saturday morning I found it did not add any datafile which I had put on thursday eveninig as system02.dbf.
Do I need to add a new datafile to the SYSTEM tablespace ?
Do I need to create new rollback segments apart from SYSTEM rollback segment ?
My current schema size 15360Mb with its usage as 9.32% (1432.25 Mb).
Please reply !!!

Does any one know what do I have to do to solve this problem ?
Thanks in advance,

Can you start a browser on the client machine?
(netscape/mozilla) and try to load

Make sure both the client and the OMS server can resolve aix09 hostname
Make sure the client can resolve the OMS server name.

Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

You didn't specify which Oracle10 Edition.
In the case of SE/SE one/EE, with a paid license Supported has a mean impact on production environments with paid licenses, since you wouldn't run on an unsupported platform facing the risk of being left without technical support from Oracle in case of an emerging issue.
For the XE Edition, this is not a certified combination, since the only certified editions are the Business, Enterprise, and the Ultimate editions, but you can try it, you don't have nothing to loose, supported, certified vs. unsupported in this case makes no difference since this XE is not supported either way (no patchsets, no bug fixes, no technical support from metalink), just an AS IS free software.
On the license agreement terms displayed when you download the XE software it states:
"No Technical Support
Our technical support organization will not provide technical support, phone support, or updates to you for the programs licensed under this agreement."
and
"THE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE."
In case someone would be able to win a trial against oracle due to damage from the use of this software, the amount paid at maximum is 1,000.00 USD, not enough to even pay the lawyer's lunches.
For the XE users the primary source of 'kind of support' is the oracle forums, either the installation forum, the general database or the specialized XE forum.
Of course if this is for your own personal use for learning and testing and there are no third parties you could damage by doing this and if you don't have a paid license for this installation you may try it, but don't expect the Enterprise Manager to behave as defined by the manual, most of it won't work since the Home Edition doesn't have the privileges required for EM to work.
If this is your personal computer and when you bought it the computer provider installed from factory Home Edition, and if you want something to work there, you can try to install a Virtual Machine and install Oracle 10g on a supported guest OS.

How to setup management server in oracle 10g database

guys,
i've installed oracle 10g database into my machine. but i don know how to setup the management server (for scheduling owb10g process flows). unlike 9idb, we have an option emca to setup the management server. if anyone of u knows abt it, please help me. do i need to install the grid control just to have the scheduling mechanism? please advice.

Well, it depends heavily on what operating system you're using, what mail server you're trying to install, your network topology, etc. Realistically, this is a question that is probably better asked in a forum for whatever mail server you're trying to install...

Asif,
IMO, the OP wanted to have steps given to him for the database creation , not the installation of the software.Not sure though since the wording chosen by him is not very clear.
@OP,
If you are looking for the database creation steps , the best would be to use DBCA! Other than that, you may want to look at the manual way of doing the same, given over here.

That said, if you were looking for the installation instructions, please look at the link given by Asif.

What is Connection in Oracle 10g Database?

Please let me know what is connection term in Oracle 10g Database in detail?
Thanks,
Waheed.

Network Connections
Oracle Net Services is Oracle’s mechanism for interfacing with the communication
protocols used by the networks that facilitate distributed processing and distributed
databases.
Connections and Sessions
Connection and session are closely related to user process but are very different in
meaning.
A connection is a communication pathway between a user process and an Oracle
instance. A communication pathway is established using available interprocess
communication mechanisms (on a computer that runs both the user process and
Oracle) or network software (when different computers run the database
application and Oracle, and communicate through a network).

BLOB insertion in Oracle 10g database using ojdbc14 (10g drivers)

Hello!
I have a situation where I am trying to insert a blob data into oracle 10g database using oracle thin
10g drivers, ojdbc14.jar in weblogic 8.1 sp2. I have the following error happening very intermittently.
java.sql.SQLException: OALL8 is in an inconsistent state.
And this is leading to the "No more data to read from socket" error when I am trying to
insert the BLOB into the database. I have gone through the bug list of SP2 and have realised there is the
following issue fixed in SP3.
CR124933
An Oracle BLOB sometimes used a pooled connection after the connection pool determined that
the connection was available for reassignment.
Code was added to ensure the BLOB is completely processed before closing the pool connection or
ending the transaction.
I believe the problem arises when we try to insert BLOB into database using a refreshed connection
from the pool.We have upgraded weblogic 8.1 from SP2 to SP4 service pack inorder to come over the above problem.
But this still continues to behave intermittently.
We put ojdbc14.jar in our classpath and Weblogic startup classpath looks like the following :-
WLS_CLASSPATH=${WLS_DOMAIN_DIR}/appslib/server.jar:$PRE_CLASSPATH:${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/lib/weblogic.jar:
${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/lib/ojdbc14.jar:${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/lib:${WLS_JAVA_HOME}/lib/tools.jar:
${WLS_JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/rt.jar:${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/lib/webservices.jar:${WLS_CONFIG_DIR}:
${WLS_CUSTLIB_DIR}:${WLS_BIN_DIR}:$POST_CLASSPATH
export WLS_CLASSPATH
CLASSPATH=${WLS_CLASSPATH}:${APP_CLASSPATH}
export CLASSPATH
After upgrade to SP4, there are new ojdbc14_g.jar(debug jar) and orai18n.jar jars in the ${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/ext/jdbc/oracle/10g directory added.
Please let me know if I need to update classpath with the new 10g jars in the ext/lib directory or any suggestions
to insert BLOB using the ojdbc14 10G drivers, Weblogic 8.1 environment would be appreciated.
Following is the stack trace of the errors that I recieve:
<Oct 6, 2005 1:29:36 PM EDT> <Error> <JDBC> <BEA-001112> <Test "select count(*) from DUAL" set up for pool

> Pradeep GHi. This is something we'd like to diagnose. How is your application
getting using and closing pool connections? The initial symptom
seems to be an internal oracle problem... Are you using standard
JDBC or oracle-specific calls?
