Online Documentation Updated (e.g. 11gR2 Database) ?

Apparently, the online documentation has been updated again. Since yesterday, I notice that when I go to a documentation page it keeps "shaking up and down". Scrolling through the page isn't smooth as it moves in jerks (probably between tags).

Hi Thomas
Yes you can do this, you will need the 11gR2 standalone software, go to the OWB OTN page here and click on Downloads, the OWB standalone software is here.

I have a problem with my ipad. I can make online documentation before but when I updated my iOS, I can't longer make notes. How can I fix this problem?

I have a problem with my ipad. Before I can make online documentation but when I updated my iOS, I can no longer make notes. How can I fix this?

What does "online documentation" mean exactly? Are you using the Notes app to try to create notes in iCloud, for example?
If so, that should still work in iOS 7.1.
If not, please tell us specific symptoms of what is (or is not) happening.

R0 Rollback Segment in Import of 10gR2 into 11gR2 Database

I have a new install of Oracle Database Server Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.3.6 on AIX 7.1.
I used the DBCA to create two databases and used export datapump and import datapump to upgrade two 10gR2 database to 11gR2.
One of the import logs includes the following messages:
Processing object type DATABASE_EXPORT/ROLLBACK_SEGMENT
ORA-39083: Object type ROLLBACK_SEGMENT failed to create with error:
ORA-02221: invalid MAXEXTENTS storage option value
Failing sql is:
CREATE ROLLBACK SEGMENT "R0" TABLESPACE "SYSTEM" STORAGE(INITIAL 131072 NEXT 131072 MINEXTENTS 2 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645)
I verified that the source database has R0 with maxextents of 2147483645.
I can copy and modify the CREATE ROLLBACK statement and lower the value assigned to MAXEXTENTS, or use MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED, then run the command in the target database.
In light of the fact that the DBCA did not create R0 in my two 11gR2 databases, I want to know if I still need to create R0 in the one that showed the error in the import log. Has anyone else noticed the disappearance of R0?
Here are the rollback segments that exist in the 11gR2 database at this time:

Where is the online documentation of SQL keywords?

Hi. I'm trying to use an Oracle database and am suffering from a severe lack of documentation on Oracle's version of SQL. Is there any online documentation that would tell me, for example, how to properly use SQL functions like:
DECODE
GREATEST
PERCENT_RANK
NULLFN
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Jason

I found some documentation at:
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/lite/sqlref/html/sqfun.htm
However, the documentation is for 8i and I am using 9i. Does anyone know if there is more up-to-date documentation? (Maybe nothing has changed significantly betweent the two versions in terms of SQL functionality....)
Thanks.

Updating policies and Policy Database or Policy Updates without server restart

Hi again,
I have implemented the flash access reference implementation server including setting up all example database tables (so we have a central database server). I have started updating policies for the application "whitelist" features and have run into some questions below.
The Protecting Content documentation states:
          "If your license server has access to a database for storing policies, you can retrieve the updated policy from the database and call LicenseRequestMessage.setSelectedPolicy()"
This leads to two questions:
1) The reference implementation doesn't store any Policies in the database (it stores them on the filesystem in the Resources Directory).     I can not find any documentation or examples of how to "retrieve the updated policy from the database".     Can somebody please point me to an example or documentation on how to store policies in the database so I can simply LicenseRequestMessage.setSelectedPolicy()?
2) As the reference implementation stores policies on the disk I had to use policy update lists when I whitelisted an AIR app.     However, the reference server did not honor the policy update list till I restarted the flash access reference server.      How can I notify the flash access server of the change to the update policy list without restarting the server?
Thank you,
-R

Hello,
Please see my answers below.
Answer 1>
If you want to store the binary representation of the policy in the database, you can invoke Policy.getBytes() and store the returned byte[] as a blob in the database. For details on how to store such binary data in a database, you should consult the documentation for you database. Then, to rebuild a policy that had been stored in a database, you can obtain the byte[] stored in the database, and invoke new Policy(byte[]) with it to reconstruct that policy instance.
See the following javadocs:
      * Retrieves an encoded byte array representation of the policy.
      * <p>If this <code>Policy</code> was created from an empty constructor, the revision number
      * will be <code>1</code>. If this was an existing policy and changes were made to the policy,
       * the revision number will be incremented by one. Otherwise, the revision number will not change.</p>
      * <p>The validity of the policy is first checked before encoding into a byte array. Encoding will fail
      * if {@link #checkValidity()} throws an exception.</p>
       * @return A serialized representation of the policy.
      * @throws PolicyModificationException The <code>Policy</code> cannot be serialized because it was created with a newer version and was modified.
      * @throws PolicyException The <code>Policy</code> is missing required fields or contains conflicting entries.
      * @throws EncodingException Unable to encode the <code>Policy</code> to a byte array.
      public byte[] getBytes() throws PolicyException, EncodingException;
      * This constructor parses an existing policy from the given byte array.
       * @param policy The policy from which to construct this <code>Policy</code>.
      * @throws EncodingException Unable to parse the byte array into a <code>Policy</code>.
      * @throws PolicyException The <code>Policy</code> is missing required fields or contains conflicting entries.
      public Policy( byte[] policy ) throws PolicyException, EncodingException;
Answer 2>
In order to implement automatic configuration updates of policy update lists on the flash access server, you will need to tweak the Reference Implementation code, to monitor the file update state and re-load the PolicyUpdateList if it changes. The code snippet below, taken from the com.adobe.flashaccess.refimpl.util.ParamsReader.buildHandlerConfiguration() method, should serve as an example of how the PolicyUpdateList is loaded and then set on the HandlerConfiguration instance for it to take effect for a particular license acquisition request. In the case of the reference implementation, this code (below) is only invoked once, during server initialization. That is why a server restart is necessary for subsequent changes to take effect. However, nothing prevents this code form being invoked elsewhere, and that implementation is entirely upto the customer, to achieve the desired outcome.
      PolicyUpdateList pul = PolicyUpdateListFactory.loadPolicyUpdateList(pulInputStream);
      if (pul != null)
            X509Certificate issuerCert = null;
            if (hsmEnabled)
                  issuerCert = getHSMCertificate(props, hsmUtils, "RevocationList.verifySignature.X509Certificate");
            else
                  String pulSignatureCertFile = props.getProperty("RevocationList.verifySignature.X509Certificate");
                  if (pulSignatureCertFile != null)
                        InputStream pulSignerInputStream = new FileInputStream(resourcesDir + pulSignatureCertFile);
                        issuerCert = CertificateFactory.loadCert(pulSignerInputStream);
            if (issuerCert != null)
                  pul.verifySignature(issuerCert);
                  context.setPolicyUpdateList(pul);

Trying to load SAP online documentation to SAP GUI

Hi -
I'm trying to load the SAP online documentation to the front end. I've put the "htmlhelp\helpdata\en" directory and sub-directories on our server. I've then go in and execute SR13 and have entered the following for the HTMLHELPFILE tab:

Language: EN
Default: <checked>
But, when I go to the help dropdown and choose SAP Library I get the following:

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

Update your Flash from Adobe's website. If that doesn't work, tell the webmaster they aren't using a portable version of Flash that is as compatible with as many browsers as possible.

Running Windows updates on a mirrored database

I have two SQL 2008 servers running server 2008 r2 that have two different databases mirrored. I need to install the windows updates on both servers. What is the best way to install updates and keep the databases mirrored?? I assume I need
to break the mirror, install the updates on the secondary mirror server then reboot. Then reconnect the mirror, fail over to secondary mirror server, then update the primary db server. Then reboot primary, then fail back over to the primary db
server. I'm just confused as to the exact steps for completing this. What commands need to be run when breaking or reconnecting the mirroring? Can someone point me to any specific instructions for this? Everything I find seems to leave
out specifics.
Thanks,
brockstar
-Brockstar

As Prashanth has suggested your steps going to be to:
1. Disable witness
ALTER
DATABASE
[your database] SET
WITNESS OFF
2. Patch current mirror
3. Reboot current mirror if necessary
4. Failover from principal to newly patching mirror
--RUN on THE COMMAND ON THE CURRENT PRINCIPAL TO MOVE TO OTHER SERVER
ALTER
DATABASE
[your database] SET
PARTNER FAILOVER
5. Short outage whilst the new principal comes online
6. Start patching the current mirror (original principal)
7. reboot current mirror 8. failback to original principal server
9. add back the witness
ALTER
DATABASE
[your database] SET
WITNESS = 'TCP://[your FQDN]:[your port]'
10. Good to go

11gR2 database installation

Hi,
How can we get all the packages directly from internet for 11gR2 database installation.
Any Ftp sites or any other way to download directly?
Appreciate help
Thanks.

It would highly depend on the distro that you are using. You would get the packages either from the media of the software or from the online repository provided by the vendor. For example, for Red Hat, it's Red Hat Network(RHN) which is a paid site. You didn't tell us the distro that you are using but if you are using Oracle's Enterprise Linux , you can get the packages using their Public YUM .

RAC for 11gR2 Database

Hi Friends,
11gR2 Db
OEL 5.4
We are planning to install RAC for 11gR2 database, for a 2-Node configuration.
Is 11gR2 certified for RAC? Can you give me links on how to install it?
Another question is....Is it possible to install two(2) database RAC instance sharing on the 2-node configuration?
I want to install DEV and PROD RAC instance on the target 2-node config.
Thanks a lot,
Ms K

Hi Ms K,
RTFM: The installation section is really good:
Grid Infrastructure (Clusterware): http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/to_pdf?pathname=install.112/e10812.pdf
RAC Installation: http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/to_pdf?pathname=install.112/e10813.pdf
Also the installer checks a lot of things, so a lot easier than 10g.
If that is not enough, have a search in support.oracle.com for RAC Starter Kits.
Even if you do not have access to ULN (Unbreakable Linux network) you can install the oracle-validated package (this is referred to in the installation section).
As a update server use public-yum.oracle.com and the oracle-validated can be found under oss.oracle.com
To your second question: Yes it is possible to have 2 RAC database instances on the same cluster (sharing the 2-node configuration).

How to update a table in database

Hi.
i am working on HR system. I have developed a form of report engine. Report Engine form contains no any database table but text items, buttons and options.
I have placed a button and in its when button press triger i wrote a procedure to update a table record as:
Update Empbiodata
Set Status = 'Retired'
Where Status = 'On Duty'
but that button is not updating the database record. when i add a line of Commit_form, after that i faced the error message there is no change to save.
I have run this code on SQL prompt and saw working well.
please solve the problem that why this code is not working in button press trigger in the form.
thnx

Hi Zaheerms,
You can do this kind of updates in the Forms.
I will help u in this scenario.
1st tell me the update column is a database item or not ?
Sample code :
begin
Update Empbiodata
Set Status = :block.column_name --'Retired'
Where Status =:block.column_name -- 'On Duty'
commit;
-- For checking message
fnd_messahe.set_string('Testing'||:block.column_name);
fnd_message.show;
end;
and give some condition as per ur requirement.
I think so this will help you.
If not post again and i will try to clarify you.
thanks,

Difference in select for update of - in Oracle Database 10g and 11g

Hi, I found out that Oracle Database 10g and 11g treat the following PL/SQL block differently (I am using scott schema for convenience):
DECLARE
  v_ename bonus.ename%TYPE;
BEGIN
  SELECT b.ename
    INTO v_ename
    FROM bonus b
    JOIN emp e ON b.ename = e.ename
    JOIN dept d ON d.deptno = e.deptno
   WHERE b.ename = 'Scott'
     FOR UPDATE OF b.ename;
END;
/While in 10g (10.2) this code ends successfully (well NO_DATA_FOUND exception is raised but that is expected), in 11g (11.2) it raises exception "column ambiguously defined". And that is definitely not expected. It seems like it does not take into account table alias because I found out that when I change the column in FOR UPDATE OF e.empno (also does not work) to e.mgr (which is unique) it starts working. So is this some error in 11g? Any thoughts?
Edited by: Libor Nenadál on 29.4.2010 21:46
It seems that my question was answered here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2736426/difference-in-select-for-update-of-in-oracle-database-10g-and-11g

The behaviour seems like it really is a bug and can be avoided using non-ANSI syntax. (It makes me wonder why Oracle maintains two query languages while dumb me thinks that this is just a preprocessor matter and query engine could be the same).

Updating more than one database...

I am looking at a scenario were we, each time a change is made to several different caches, needs to update both a legacy database (main frame, non-relational = actually hierarchical) that are used by several large batch applications (that will be converted one by one over time to use the application built on top of the cache) as well as a new database (modern hardware & OS, relational, organized in a quite different way than the legacy database!).
     The sync requirements are:
     * It is REALLY bad if only one database get updated but not the other!
     * The legacy database can be about 5 minutes behind the cache
     * The new database is only used for making the cache persistent (it is fully loaded to cache at system startup) and has really no requirement at all on how much behind the cache it can be as long as data is never lost (we will use backup count = 1).
     Updating the legacy database is NOT straight-forward and will require some data transformations to be performed. They can either be done in the legacy system (if we send the change info using some safe messaging for instance) or in the new environment if we want to update the old database directly.
     A factor complicating things further is that the legacy system have some consistency requirements on the data (in particular when creating new objects that has relationships to each other, you may think about order / order row even if this is not the kind of application we have in mind).
     For performance reasons (and since it seem from another thread that partial writes is a bigger problem with write through) we would probably like to use write behind to update the new database.
     Anybody who have some experience of similar situations and can give some suggestions on how to best go about it?
     Best Regards
     Magnus

I may also add that our current thinking is to use a "write beside" pattern for the legacy system and a write-behind pattern for the cache to update the new database. An XA transaction will then be used to make sure that both or neither the old system and the cache gets updated. Does this sound like a reasonable solution?
     Best Regards
     Magnus

IF Auto Update Statistics ENABLED in Database Design, Why we need to Update Statistics as a maintenance plan

Hi Experts,
IF Auto Update Statistics ENABLED in Database Design, Why we need to Update Statistics as a maintenance plan for Daily/weekly??
Vinai Kumar Gandla

Hi Vikki,
Many systems rely solely on SQL Server to update statistics automatically(AUTO UPDATE STATISTICS enabled), however, based on my research, large tables, tables with uneven data distributions, tables with ever-increasing keys and tables that have significant
changes in distribution often require manual statistics updates as the following explanation.
1.If a table is very big, then waiting for 20% of rows to change before SQL Server automatically updates the statistics could mean that millions of rows are modified, added or removed before it happens. Depending on the workload patterns and the data,
this could mean the optimizer is choosing a substandard execution plans long before SQL Server reaches the threshold where it invalidates statistics for a table and starts to update them automatically. In such cases, you might consider updating statistics
manually for those tables on a defined schedule (while leaving AUTO UPDATE STATISTICS enabled so that SQL Server continues to maintain statistics for other tables).
2.In cases where you know data distribution in a column is "skewed", it may be necessary to update statistics manually with a full sample, or create a set of filtered statistics in order to generate query plans of good quality. Remember,
however, that sampling with FULLSCAN can be costly for larger tables, and must be done so as not to affect production performance.
3.It is quite common to see an ascending key, such as an IDENTITY or date/time data types, used as the leading column in an index. In such cases, the statistic for the key rarely matches the actual data, unless we update the Statistic manually after
every insert.
So in the case above, we could perform manual statistics updates by
creating a maintenance plan that will run the UPDATE STATISTICS command, and update statistics on a regular schedule. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/performance/managing-sql-server-statistics/

Michelle Li
