Moderator: let's create Oracle 8i Tuning forum

I've just made a bunch of posts that I felt were off-topic to Linux, but I had nowhere else to post them. Why don't you create a new Oracle 8i Tuning forum area, so that people with differnt platforms can share ideas?
null

well how do try to make your database?? with dbca or just manually with runing some scripts??
protocol adapter error means to me that you have to set your oracle_sid properly
before starting making your database to do that just type at the command prompt c:\ set oracle_sid=<your sid> if you chose kabul as database name just type set oracle_sid=kabul and then click on enter
when you finish creating your database run the NET8 configuration assistant to make a listener ,tnsnames.ora and a sqlnet.ora and then you can connect to your database !!
good luck !!

Can We Have a Perfomance Tuning Forum?

Justin,
There are forums for Upgrade, Installation, Backup/Recovery & RMAN.But there is none for performance tuning. All the questions about the reports ie Statspack/AWR, Sql queries, they are pushed in the Database General forum only. With heavy volume of generic questions coming there, these threads bury inside them. I have been asked couple of times by several people/friends that why there is not any dedicated OTN forum for Performance Tuning? So if community and you think its a good thing to do, can we have a dedicated DB Performance Tuning forum too?
Regards
Aman....

Aman,
SQL queries tunning is not same as database tunning. Furthermore, most of the SQL queries tunning question go into SQL & PL/SQL forums.
Moreover, more you have forums, more difficult is to find active knowledge people in every single forum. We cannot track many forums as well as few of them depending of your interest.
See, few months ago, the Upgrade forum has been created, and since, only 153 posts there, it is not very used. Why ?
It has been discuss many times over here, have a dedicated forum by features/interest, or have a big one.
I don't find really strange db tunning question in the database general forum. I think even the upgrade question there have their place in that forum.
If any new forum is created, the knowledge people have to follow to maintain that forum popular, which is not sure at all. Whether we are agreed to spend our time over the forums, that'll become very complicated to be active in more than 3 or 4 forums even if there is interest.
See, OTN has upgraded the forum software for a better service, I don't think it has been reach. So, let's keep it simple.

Problem with implicitly created Oracle pipes

Hi, I am having a problem with implicitly created Oracle pipes. I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this topic, but I could not see one which suited better..
I am using Oracle pipes as a commiunication mechanism between processes (some are written in PL/SQL and other in PRO*C).
The general problem I have is that if a timeout occurs during the communication process, I end up with 1 or perhaps 2 implicitly created pipes.
The biggest problem for me is that I am unable to determine if a create is implicitly created (via dbms_pipe.send_message or receive_message). This causes problems, since these implicitly created pipes are left behind and not deleted. I'll show you the basic flow of the processes and you shall see my problem.
server: create request pipe "req_pipe"
server: listen for request on requests pipe.
client: create two pipes for comms with server.
client: send request and the names of the newly created pipes to the server.
server: read request and pipename from request pipe (from this point all comms between the client and server are now done over the 2 pipes the client created).
server: send ack message to client to ensure they are still there (since requests can be queued in the request pipe and clients could have timed out before the request is received)
client: send "i'm still here" ack back to the server.
server: process request and send result back to client.
client: send ack back to server to let server know we have received the response.
server: send ack back to client to show that work is now committed.
OK thats the general event flow. I use the rule, that pipes created by a process are removed by a process. So the client always removes the pipes it created in all situations. But since this can happen at any point we can get in the situation:
client: timeout occurs, delete pipes.
server: send message to client (creates an implicit pipe) and therefor works (no errors raised)
server: do a read for response from previous message. (implicitly creates pipe) (will fail).
Now we have two implicitly created pipes! These pipes will exist until the database instance is shutdown, and in a poorly performing environment, we could get thousands of these pipes lying around... not a good situation.
How can I either stop pipes being implicilty created, or how do I detect if a pipe was implicitly created.
I have tried a couple of things, like using v$db_pipes to check if a pipe exists before doing send/reveive calls but this is FAR to slow to do a select on that view.
We have also looked at keeping a record of pipes created by the client then have some process (perhaps the server) clean up these pipes after some time frame. This is a workable solution but is not favourable since it adds extra overhead having to check these pipes often, and created an extra level of complexity which is not required..
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Feel free to email me with any suggestions on my email provided below, or just post a reply to this formum..
Many thanks,
Karl Bridger

Let's create a walkthrough for booting ppc's from usb2 drives!

What started as a personal project has now evolved into a call for a community collaboration. I think there's a new trick here that should be more available to the ppc using public. Let's create a walkthrough for the public that is complete, concise, and fool-proof.
I have been trying for days to figure out how I can create a bootable drive with what i've got;
PowerMac G5 quad, 500gig drive, 350gigs used, over 200 gigs of unimportant stuff.
Seagate external USB2 drive, 150 gigs, let's beta this puppy out til we get this
bondi blue, 80 gigs, no attachment, no remorse
History:
I have been trying to use my 150gig usb2 external drive to create a bootable drive. The general theory WAS, apparently, that ppc's cannot boot from usb, only firewire - but now intels can boot from either. I've read in many, many posts that USB drives CAN be booted from using a ppc, by either using SuperDuper to do a complete cloning, or booting from Open Firmware and using some scripts.
I can't get either of these to work, and it's probably because i did something wrong or there isn't a solid resource out there on this topic. I think it's because my internal hard drive is bigger than my external, so any cloning i do has to omit folders (movies, pictures, music only) and just isn't a 'complete backup'.
Posts have said that SuperDuper does something that has allowed USB2 drives to be bootable on a ppc without Open Firmware, even appear in the startup disk preference panel!
I just can't get it right, somehow, although plenty of others posted positive results with the same architecture. Is there a way of getting a good install on the usb drive? Can you give me a good walkthrough of the way to go about booting to it?
Next idea:
I have an old Bondi Blue, with 80gigs in it. Perhaps i can use this as a workaround to overcome the size issue (my internal drive being larger than my available external drive).
There's nothing important on the Bondi's hard drive, I just keep it around for OS 9, in case I need that (haven't since I was fourteen years old, though). So I thought, perhaps I can ethernet it to my powermac, reformat the drive and use it as an external drive. Then I bet I could use the install dvd to put 10.4 on it (though it won't run with anything past 10.3.1, just using it as a hard drive i could, right?). So I'd have to boot the bondi blue in some particular fashion; what would that be? As a 'slave drive' or something? Will I be able to boot from this over the ethernet cable?
If this is succesful (or first of all possible) then I could mount both the bondi (as an external/network/some kind of drive) and my usb2 hard drive to the PowerMac. With disk utility or SuperDuper, I could restore/clone the bondi to the USB2 drive, and Blam! the USB2 would have a clean install of os 10.4 that i could (maybe?) boot from with Open firmware. Then I could reinstall OS 9 on the bondi (i've been wanting to give it a fresh start anyway).
here's what i've been reading, and it's confusing, contradictory, and without solid answers:

and its very easy to verify it if its happening in your environment. Also I
have been talking to other user that are not using Oracle (Sybase instead)

in your test environment before moving to 3.5. To verify if its happening
in your Forte version just create a small application that connects to the

In your opinion, does this effect all databases? We are using DB2 and

How to create oracle services using grid control

Hi All,
I have oracle grid control account my grid control version is 10.2.0.4.0.Can any one please let me know the tab from which I can create Oracle services.
I know we can create oracle services using DBCA also.When I'm trying to do that way it is giving below error.
dbca
DISPLAY not set.
Set DISPLAY environment variable, then re-run.
How to set DISPLAY environment variable.
Thanks,
Rafi.

Normally, you set DISPLAY to an IP address with the suffix : and 0.0: the IP address must match a machine able to display X11 windows.
Example with Linux bash shell:
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.1:0.0What is your OS version ? What is your shell (bash, ksh, sh, csh) ? How do you connect to the UNIX host ?

Creating Oracle 11g Database Manually on ASM on 11g R2 Grid

Hi:
Earlier added this issue alongwith Grid installation. Only Jorg replied to me but could not find a complete solution. So thought of starting a new thread.
Wanted to know if any one of you have successfully created Oracle Database Manually on ASM on Oracle 11g R2 Grid.
I have installed Oracle 11g R2 grid (grid user) and Oracle 11g R2 DB software succesfully (oracle user).
Now trying to create a database manually on ASM as Oracle user.
First I create an pfile in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
then I started by db on nomount stage. when I create a spfile on to my ASM diskgroup I get
I have created 2 diskgroups '+DGASMSPFILE' (ASM Spfile) and '+DGDBDATA' (for database)
Grid is up and running.
From Oracle user:
Have created a sample initDBRAC.ora
Now I want to create Oracle Database Global Spfile into '+DGASMSPFILE'
export ORACLE_SID=DBRAC
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> create spfile='+DGASMSPFILE/spfileDBRAC.ora' from pfile;
ORA-17502:ksfdcre:4 failed to create file +DGASMSPFILE/spfileDBRAC.ora
ORA-12547: TNS lost contact
"Oracle user" should have privileges to access ASM diskgroup right? What is the permission set for /dev/sdc* (earlier it was root:oinstall I changed it to grid:oinstall even then no difference.
Trace output:

Hi Sebastian:
When I installed grid software, oracle db software and created oracle db manually things worked fine.
When I restart the RAC environment I found the following issues:
1) all the resources does not come up automatically, once i issue crs_start -all all the services comes up. (most of the resources related to node1 comes up but cluster resources related to node2 does not come up) crsctl check crs shows that things are online.
2) wanted to recreate a database manually after restarting the RAC enviroment. To start of as usual tried to create a spfile in ASM disk "Create spfile='+DGDBSPFILE' from pfile'
I get ORA-17502:ksfdcre:4 failed to create file +DGDBSPFILE'
12547: TNS: lost contact
looks like permission problem.
The same command worked before restarting the RAC environment. Pls let me know if I am missing out anything.
Is it because i am unable to access ASM instance.
3) As you had mentioned tried to set the sbit by executing the following statement:
$ /opt/grid/bin/setasmgidwrap o=/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db/bin/oracle
should this be put into "rc" folder in linux so that it gets set everytime linux starts up. because once i restart the permission get changed.
I should execute it from grid user to change the permission of 'oracle' binary in 'oracle user' right?
Can you explain me why is this required (sbit).
Thanks.

Dinesh

New Look of Oracle JDBC & UCP Forum

Hi All,
We have enhanced existing Oracle JDBC & UCP forum with a new look.
You will now find all Oracle JDBC resources such as latest white papers, FAQ, Blogs, Tweets etc., in this forum.
Please post your JDBC & UCP questions specific to Oracle Database here at Oracle JDBC & UCP.
Note that this forum is only for Java related JDBC questions.
Thanks,
Nirmala

The generic Java Connectivity is inherited from SUN and destined for questions related to JDBC spec and every vendor while the Oracle JDBC forum is dedicated to our drivers. These two were joined for a moment, by mistake.
However, if the community strongly feels we should re-join, we can look into that.
Kuassi @kmensah)
Re-joining would be MY preference. I first posted a 'why two forum' question in the community feedback forum last year when I first discovered that 'other' forum:
Why are there two DIFFERENT JDBC forums?
That second forum only has three recent threads and, so far as I know, just became visible when some recent changes were made to the Jive software.
It is located at
All Places > Database > Database Developer Tools > JDBC
Can someone research and determine if that second forum should just be consolidated with the main JDBC forum? I contribute ALL of the time to the other forum as does one of the JDBC developers. I never knew this other one existed so I doubt if people will get much help there.
If you read the thread you will see that I never got a reply from anyone.
But the comments above that I made then still apply. Joe Weinstein (one of Oracle's JDBC experts) and I have been the top contributors on this current forum for some time. I don't believe either of us posted in that 'other' forum and I didn't even know it existed. The link in my thread above to the original 'other' forum still works but gives an 'unauthorized' message so I assume it is now an internal Oracle site.
My opinion is that people with a JDBC question and just going to post in the first one they find which is usually this forum I am in now. I don't think the general public will understand the 'fine' distinction you provided above for Oracle related versus non-Oracle related JDBC questions.
So the main issue for me is that there is no good way to respond to someone that posts their question in the WRONG jdbc forum. For other forums we just do NOT reply to the question but ask them to post in the correct forum and provide a link to it: I run across this most frequently in the Sql Developer forum and usually respond with:
Wrong forum!
This forum is ONLY for Sql Developer quesstions and your question is NOT related to Sql Developer. Please mark this thread ANSWERED and repost it in the Sql Developer forum
SQL Developer
The result is that by providing the link to the correct forum the Jive software creates a SECOND thread in that other forum.
The bulk of the JDBC questions posted in this current forum are, in fact, for the Oracle database. The few that aren't are easily answered by providing what help we can, suggesting additional info that needs to be provided and then suggesting that they post in an IBM, Sql Server or other vendor forum for the JDBC product for their database.
Havng just ONE forum for JDBC would make it easier to provide a higher level of support to users in my opinion.

My Oracle Support Community Forum

Survey:
Is anyone participating in the new "*My Oracle Support Community*" Forums? I'm a bit confused as to the purpose of the forum since they cover virtually the same topics that are discussed here. I did do some research and found the following answers....

Personally, I see the same type of topics/questions being discussed in both forums! ?:|

I believe the difference is that the Community Forum is moderated and you need a valid CSI number to access it. Overall this forum seems more active, but it looks as though Oracle Support Engineers may be more active in the Community one.

FCPX won't let me create a new project

On Final Cut Pro X, it won't let me create a new project. It says that an error occurs while saving. What do I do

Ha! You said so the first time. A'ight. Now... a series of questions to help folks in this discussion forum help YOU:
What are the full specs of your computer? (Your profile doesn't have those details.) Particulary... FCPX version, Mac type, RAM, CPU, GPU and number, types and size of HD's. (A memory problem might reveal itself if you're particularly low on RAM or you don't have enough headroom on your hard drives.)
More importantly, how are your media managed across the drives? Are your projects / events on a SEPARATE drive than your OS and the FCPX app? (This is advised to reduce strain on your CPU.)
What does the "Activity Monitor" show when you launch FCPX? (high RAM usage, etc.)
Are you trying to create a new project WITHIN the FCPX interface? (Either by: File > New Project or... mouse-clicking the "+" at the extreme lower left of the FCPX app window.)
You may have to "repair permissions" on your drives. (Easy thing to do.) Also, if you're using an external drive, is it Mac OS-journaled?
To be honest, this error has me stumped. But, if you provide this info, someone in this discussion group might be able to steer you through these waters. Just type out a quick laundry list and someone should be by to help.

I'm trying to make a purchase, but it tells me my Apple ID has been disabled, it will not let me create a new one-just a new password. Any suggestions????

This is asked and answerd many, many times every day - including several times this morning.
The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
If changing your password does not solve, then contact itunes support.

How do I create "Oracle Application Express Adminstrator" in APEX 3.2.1?

Hello,
Quite the newbie so I appreciate any assistance with this.
How do create "Oracle Application Express Adminstrator" in APEX 3.2.1? I am not talking about a workspace adminstrator but an Entire APEX instance administrator or "superuser"?
I log into APEX_ADMIN as ADMIN and understand how to create a new user. But how do I grant the new user DBA or "super user" privlidges? It was easy to do when I first installed XE, I would just "check" the "DBA" when I created the user. But when I upgraded to APEX 3.2.1 the function does not seem to be there?
Thank you for any help you can provide!

Hi,
I think you can not grant DBA role from Apex anymore.
You need connect to database e.g. with SYS user and grant that role.
