Oracle 10gR2 Dataguard quick question

Hi -
Just a quick question about Oracle 10gR2 Dataguard. I'm in the process of creating dataguard standby, which is running for few hours and could take few more hours because of the size and the standby's network latency, and i'm using OMS to create the DG. I'm in a situation now to create new tablespace(A) and also one more datafile to the existing tablespace(B).
Question is: How would this new tablespace and the new datafile in the existing tablespace affect the DG standby which is about to finish in couple hours? Will the DG pickup the new changes from the primary? Or, will it be done with error from the mismatch of the number of files? The issue is that i can't wait for the standby creation to be done as the additional tablespace and datafile requirement is production critical, and should be added right away.
note: standby_file_management is set to auto.
Thanks for your response.
regards.

Your post is a bit vague, as OMS is an acronym for Oracle Management Server, which is a service only.
If you would have stated you are using Database Control, or RMAN duplicate database, the picture would have been much clearer.
Database Control uses rman duplicate database.
Recovery is the mandatory implicit last step of this procedure to pick up all changes since you started the duplicate.
One word of warning: Network latency is one thing to avoid like hell in a standby configuration.
It might even slow down your production database.

Oracle 10gR2 RAC - ASM question

Hi
I have a question regarding the ASM storage. Let says I have a system here running Oracle 10gR2 RAC and would like to add a new/extend the current DATA disk group with more disk space. How do I do that? will it affect the existing data stored inside there?

So to add a little more to the discussion. Let's say your storage administrator presents you a LUN and is nice enough to add a partition of say 7G. (/dev/sdo1).
Now you need to take /dev/sdo1 stamp it and alter your storage group.
For illustration purposes I shall use rac1 and rac2 as my dual instance RAC and add to the asm group ARCH.
As root on rac1
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ARCH2 /dev/sdo1
then run
/etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
to make sure ARCH2 shows up.
On rac2 you run
/etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
You don't see ARCH2 so then run
/etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks
then
/etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
Now you should see ARCH2
Ok the asm stamps are in sync now.
Back to rac1
su - oracle
set ORACLE_SID to asm instance and use sqlplus
sqlplus / as sysasm
If you query V$ASM_DISK you will see your disk with a header_status of PROVISIONED
that's good ...
NOw while still in sqlplus
Let's bump up the asm_power_limit so rebalancing runs faster
alter system set asm_power_limit=5 scope=both ;
If your asm instance are sharing the same spfile you only need do this on one instance; otherwise run the command both on all asm instances.
Lastly
ALTER DISKGROUP ARCH ADD DISK 'ORCL:ARCH2' ;
Now you can query V$ASM_OPERATION and watch ASM do it's magic of rebalancing.
That's it. All done while the DB is up and running.
How does that work for you?

Dataguard quick question

Hi:
I have dataguard implemented for version Oracle 10gR3. During migration, we had to import from old server to new server. While import, we had to turn off Archive Log for about 2hrs to speed up the import process. Once the import was done, we enabled the Archive log. During this switch, DG Physical standby failed. When i try to reinitialize, the standby is not applying any more logs from teh time the Archivelog was disabled.
My question is - Shoul i recreate the DG standby by dropping the current one which is lagging more than 50 logs or can i repair the standby to start applying the logs and move forward?
Please advise.
Thanks
Here are few commands i used to sync Standby with Primary:
--On standby in MOUNT state: "alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;"
--Verify new archived redo log file applied- few from the list
1 SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG
2* ORDER BY SEQUENCE#
SEQUENCE# APPLIED
2397 YES
2398 YES
2399 YES
2400 YES
2442 NO
2443 NO
2444 NO
2445 NO
2446 NO

Yes. When you say 're-initiate'--recreate from scratch by dropping the current one? When i drop the current one and start the recreation - should this have any impact on the primary? I believe it will not bounce or take anything offline on the primary right? Just want to confirm....thanks.

Oracle 9i Dataguard some questions.

Hi,
I have some doubts regarding the Data guard redo log transfers from Primary to Stand by.
1. In Oracle9i is it really the archived redo logs that are transferred to the standby database or the online redo logs?
2. Is automatic fail over to standby database possible with Oracle 9i ? I understand it is possible with 10g.
As I reviewed the document, I understood that the
1. Primary LGWR is set to transfer the redo log information to Standby.
2. Standby is tuned to receive online redo from Primary.
3. Standby DB instantly applies the received redo from Primary in the Media recovery mode.
4. Standby also archives the applied redo.
Please let me know if this anyway wrong ? This is in the context of 9i.

in 9i standby MRP apply archived redolog. Only if you activate standby using somtething like ... COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER it reads and apply standby redo. If you activate standby using ... ACTIVATE STANDBY DATABASE it will not apply standby redo. So, it is a good idea manually apply standby redo (and online from primary if they are) in case of failover RECOVER STANDBY DATABASE - you will not loose.
1) information from redo buffer can be transferred, not online redologs.
2) it is not possible. You can use your own scripts to do it. I think, such scripts can be more safe than such feature in 10g.
3) standby (MRP process) repeatedly apply archived redo, not standby redo log files. ARCn or RFS create archive logs on the standby.

Solaris 10 + Oracle 10gR2 RAC question

Hello everyone
Has anyone come across the case where the CRS services of Oracle cause
the public interface to get turned off and then restored at random
time intervals? To elaborate, we have a 2 node cluster database.
Solaris 10, Oracle 10gR2 RAC with patch 10.2.0.3 applied. No SUN
clustering is involved. When the cluster software is down (nodeapps,
asm, database instances all down) /var/adm/messages show nothing. When
we start nodeapps on the 2 nodes(thus initiating some form of
communication between the nodes), at random time intervals we get
"interface ce0 turned off and interface ce0 restored" in /var/adm/
messages. When we check the status of the RAC, we see that one node's
vip has been assigned to the other. This on/off behaviour of the NIC
can be eliminated only if we continuously PING it from a another
client in the network.
As a matter of fact, the RAC and the RDBMS work perfectly when we keep
pinging the 2 nodes from an other client on the network. We even
managed to run a long batch job, distributed on cluster managed
services on the 2 instances, and it completed after 9 hours without
any problems.
Does anyone have a hint on this behaviour? Is there some sort of
timeout for the network cards? Some power saving features? Googling
around I came across the new Containers feature available on Solaris
10. Is there a way that I can verify that either RAC or the RDBMS is
running in "container" mode ( since the solaris and Oracle
installation was not performed by me)? Any other ideas?
Thank you for reading

Im an Oracle guy - not the SA type -
But on ours - the SA configured this cluster incorrectly. We use veritas. instead of making ipmp groups for the interfaces - he built the cluster according to veritas docs. That is - he has two publics - on difference interfaces and different privates on different interfaces. oracle can only two interfaces - no matter if its a ipmp group or a device name. one is used for private- the other is used for public - So sure the veritas cluster filesystems will survive - but the Oracle Cluster will not - nodes will reboot -
Is your system set up incorrectly as i described above? if it is - a quick test would be - turn down the other interfaces - and only leave the two interfaces you mention above up that you configured for Oracle CRS
This other sharp sa was able to go through the arp table and see duplicate IPs - and the routing was attempted via an interface that oracle doesnt see. You can not define two different interfaces public - and two different interfaces for private -

Creating Standby database with Oracle 10gR2 SE (no dataguard). Procedure

Hello,
I have problems in creating a standby database without Dataguard (Oracle Standard Edition)
-Oracle 10gR2 SE (No DataGuard !!!!)
- SUSE Enterprise 10.
Both primary and standby databases are running in Virtual machines (lab).
I will describe the exact steps I followed :
1.---------------------------------------------------
Both primary and standby databases have exactly the same file / folder structure
2.---------------------------------------------------
I enabled archive log mode with a new destination : /opt/oracle/oradata/orcl/archive_logs.
Also : SQL> alter database force logging;
3.---------------------------------------------------
I shut down the primary database (shutdown immediate)
4.---------------------------------------------------
I created a standby controlfile on the primary database:
SQL> startup mount
SQL> alter database create standby controlfile as '/tmp/standby.ctl'
SQL> shutdown immediate
5.---------------------------------------------------
I did a cold backup from the primary db to the standby db
(I copied all the db files, control files, redo log)
6.---------------------------------------------------
I copied from the primary db to the standby db the standby control file
(from primary /tmp/standby.ctl)
7.---------------------------------------------------
I copied from the primary db to the standby db the standby control file
(from primary /tmp/standby.ctl)
8.---------------------------------------------------
I created on the standby database a pfile from the spfile :
SQL> create pfile from spfile;
9.---------------------------------------------------
I edited the pfile and changed the controlfile location (with the standby controlfile created in step 4)
>>>>> *.control_files='/opt/oracle/oradata/orcl/standby.ctl'
10.--------------------------------------------------
I started the standby db
SQL> startup mount pfile='/opt/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/dbs/initorcl.ora'
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
SQL> quit
11.--------------------------------------------------
I made some changes on the primary db on user scott
SQL> update table set .......
12.--------------------------------------------------
I switched logfile on the primary db
SQL> alter system switch logfile;
13.--------------------------------------------------
I manually copied the new archivelog to the standby db
And then nothing !!!
The db changes are not applied.
Please help me fix the procedure !!!
Thanks

Hi
Ref to your Oracle SE Standby issue, we were in similar situation couple of years ago to build an Automated Standby for our disaster recovery on Oracle SE. We finally got a solution provider Anbul Technologies , they have a one of their solutions based on Oracle SE which provided fully automated Standby in Oracle SE.
We are successfully running that solution in our prod env for many years. You can visit their site www.anbultechnologies.co.uk or contact them for further details. They are Uk based but provides support and services all over Europe.

Oracle 10gR2 on Solaris 10-Disk space question

I am going to install Oracle 10gR2 on Solaris 10 (x86). I need some advice on Disk space allocations. Altogether i've 10GB allocated for both Solaris and Oracle in VMware. My current allocation is this:
/ ----------->6177mb
swap---------->1024mb
/tmp ----------> 400mb
/export/home------->2570mb
Is this enough to install a Basic Oracle Database? I am going to use it only for learning purposes.

It is Ok to start, but I suggest you to read the:
Oracle® Database Installation Guide
10g Release 2 (10.2) for Solaris Operating System (x86)

Slow work Oracle 10gR2 on Windows server 2003 Standart SP2

Hi!
I have a problem when i migrating from my old server to new one..
Old server:
Windows 2003 SP2 + Oracle 10gR2
CPU Pentium 4 2.4
RAM 2 GB
DISK 2 x RAID 1 (one for systen and instance another for data files)
On this system i have disk I/O about 35 - 45 mb per sec.
New server:
Windows 2003 SP2 x86 + Oracle 10gR2 x86
CPU 2 x Xeon Dual Core 1.6
RAM 4 GB
DISK 1 x RAID 1(system and instance) 1 x RAID 10 (4 disks SATA) (data files).
When i create tablespace i have disk I/O (EM) about 35 mb/sec and when i try to load data in my new databae (i am using Data Pump import) i have I/O 1 mb/sec. How can i solve this problem?
When i runing Sisoft Sandra i get a result ~100mb/sec. But the ORION get me a very small result aproximetly the same as in old server.

I don't think that this is the place to ask about downloads external to OTN. See forum description. Questions about the patches from Metalink (after searching/reading existing Notes and still not coming up with a definitive answer) should in general be directed to Metalink (e.g. open a SR).
With that said.. If you are asking on how to retrieve the patch set via Metalink interface, then you should turn to Patches & Updates (one of the main tabs). Use e.g. Simple Search or Quick Links to the Latest... to drill down.
When you have found a patch set, the Patch Set readme documents system requirements and other vital information.
If you are looking for other information regarding patches and patching, the first place to look is again Metalink. Certification and supportability information can be found via Certify tab. There are several "tactical" Notes such as 161549.1 and 316900.1 useful for supporting your own procedures and for finding further information.

How to Reorganize CSM200 Shared Storage in Solaris 10 x86 Oracle 10gR2

I could use some guidance from those who are more experienced in RAC administration in a Solaris environment with ASM. I have a three-node RAC with Oracle 10gR2 instances on top of Solaris 10 x86 where the shared storage is a Sun CSM200 disk array which looks like a single disk to the rest of the world. I'm not very familiar with the CSM200 Common Array Manager but I do have access to use it.
During initial setup, I followed the Oracle cookbook and defined a storage slice for each of the following: OCR, OCR mirror, three voting disks, and +DATA, for a total of six slices. I brought up the RAC and we've used it for a couple of weeks.
This is a Dev and QA environment, so it changes pretty fast. The new requirement is to add a +FRA and to add a mount point for a file system on the shared storage, so that all three Oracle instances can refer to the same external table(s).
However, I've already used all the available slices in the VTOC on the shared logical drive. I'm not sure how to proceed.
1) Is it necessary to use the CAM to create two logical disks out of the single existing logical disk?
2) If so, how destructive is that? I don't need to keep the contents of the database, but I do not want to reinstall CRS or ASM or the DB instances.
3) Is it possible to combine the OCR and its mirror on the same slice, thus freeing a slice for reuse?
4) Is it possible to combine all three voting disks on the same slice, thus freeing two slices for reuse?
Edited by: user12006221 on Mar 29, 2011 3:30 PM
Another question: Under 10.2.0.4, is it possible for the OCR and voting disks to be managed by ASM? I know it would be possible under 11g, but that's not an option as I am trying to match a customer's environment and they aren't going to 11g any time real soon.

What you see is what happens when the Java runtime running on Solaris 10 x86 tries to load a library which is compiled for SPARC.
Because of the native parts in SAP GUI for Java, compilations and installers are required for each OS - HW combination.
The supported platforms can be seen in SAP note 954572. For Solaris only SPARC is currently supported.
Because of the effort needed for compiling, testing, support etc. it is required to focus on OS - HW combinations widely used on desktop machines and Solaris 10 on x86 currently does not seem to be one of those.

Oracle Active Dataguard 11g - Passwords

Hi all
Environment description: Production database, 11.2.0.3 version, standalone running on Solaris and an Oracle Active Dataguard database in read only mode, same version and operating system.
Question: The users passwords and sys/system passwrod (orapw ) could be different in the ADG environment? I mean, could the orapwd file and user password be changed in the Dataguard database ?
Thanks a lot.

ThanksHi,
Active dataguard is option after configuring dataguard.
You can put standby database in Open(read only) mode also you can enable Recover(MRP) while open so this can be used for reporting purpose too.
Please refer below links for configuring them.

Oracle Forms 6i client/server against an Oracle 10gR2 database

Hello
We have the following situation:
Oracle Forms6i/Reports6i client server application against an Oracle 8i cost-based database. we want to migrate this application
step 1:
Migrate the database to 10gr2, but do not touch the client application
Go live
step 2:
Migrate the development environment to 6i webforms.
Production environment stays client server.
With this construction we can still create new patches/functionality.
step 3:
Migrate to Forms10gR2 (and reports)
I know Forms 6i is not supported anymore.
My question is on step 1.
When I read NOTE: 338513.1 entitled "Is Forms/Reports 6i Certified To Work Against Oracle Server 10g Rel 1, Rel 2 or 11g?" carefully
it says that Forms 6i is not certified against 10gR2.
On OTN I read several posts that this works ok (assuming you do not use the wrong character set).
I also read on OTN that patch 18 (which is only supported for EBS customers) is certified against 10gR2.
The questions:
- Is Oracle Forms patch 18 certified against an Oracle 10gR2 database? (or only for EBS)
- Is there anybody out there that can confirm that Oracle Forms 6i C/S works against Oracle 10gR2
Regards Erik

Thank you.
Now I found it.
But how do I read that page.
It says:
Client Certifications
OS      Product      Server Status
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      N/A      Desupported
Application Tier Certifications
OS      Product      Server      Status
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      9.2      Desupported
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      10g      Desupported
I read this as follows:
Patch 18 was certified agains a 10g database in a webforms environment.
No client server mentioned and Server 10g , so no 10gR2!
I'm I right?

Difference between 9iAS Release 1 version 1.0.2.2.1 and Oracle 10gR2

Everyone,
We are facing very critical issue while upgrading from Oracle form 6i to Oracle 10g. Earlier the forms were deployed on web using 9iAS Release 1 version 1.0.2.2.1 which now migrated to Oracle 10gR2 Suite (Forms - 9.0.4.0.19 and Application Server is 10.1.2.0.2 and database is moved to Rack). We were not having issue during testing but as soon as we migrated in Production we are having issues starting from Stale connections to Http 500 errors, FRM-92000 and droped or lost network connectivity errors. Still unable to pin point the root cause. We increased the Memeory, JVMs, heap size, connection etc as per Oracle Support recomendations. Recently by looking in one of the article refered by Oracle and found that there are some recomendation for form upgrade from 6i to 10g. All of the recomendations are mainly to avoid network traffic. Now I have been assigned the case study to address this issue in the light of our current application system, which is mainly front end oracle forms, Userexit (C and Perl C for business logic) and Oracle database. This Userexit is residing at the application Server and used mainly for lots of business functionalities.
My question here is what makes this new upgrade different than previous application server. Is there any documentation available that refers how the calls are being received, routed and transmitted from Oracle Application Servers to client, database. I would really appreciate the inputs from all of you. Please feel free to ask if there is any question. Thanks.

Can you show the apache logs, oc4j_bi_forms_defaultisland log form opmn/logs, and other logs with the exact string of error?
This could be related to a lot of things.
Regards.

Generic Connectivity -Oracle(10gR2) to MS SQL server - Creating DSN

Hi,
I am trying to connect Oracle 10gR2(10.2.0.4.0) on linux x86 to MS Sql Server on Windows XP
I am referring the Metalink Note 264567.1 and using DataDirect ODBC drivers for the same
I have a question here
Do I need to create the System DSN on windows XP or on Oracle (linux server)?
If it is on linux server, how to I create the System DSN on the Linux?
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Pk

Hi,
You need to create a DSN on the box where the HSODBC (the oracle db) is running, so in this case the Linux box.
I'd assume there's documentation that comes with the 3rd party odbc driver on how to create a DSN with it. It probably depends on which version of driver manager you're using (pardon my ignorance, I do strictly Windows) so you'd probably want to check the docs for the driver manager. For example, if using unixODBC, the docs are on [their web site|http://www.unixodbc.org/].
Hope it helps,
Greg
