Oracle 11g R2 Architecture Diagram

Hi,
I trust this is the right way to go about the following
Few years ago I created an architecture diagram for 10g. I have now updated that diagram to include new features of Oracle 11g. Obviously there is so much one can detail in one page PDF Architecture diagram. It is in draft stage so I will appreciate any feedback on the diagram before I release it to the community. I have not released it on any website yet as I am keen on direct feedbacks. Anyone who is interested please send me an email to [email protected] and I will forward the diagram for their comments.
Regards,
Mich

Have you seen Oracle's interactive diagram?
Oracle's URLs are subject to sudden change without any user-friendly redirection, but current URL is:

  • 1Z1-478-Oracle Service-Oriented Architecture 11g Essentials

    Hi All,
    I would like to do the 1Z1-478-Oracle Service-Oriented Architecture 11g Essentials certification.And also it is closed on 30Mar13 after that will go into the production, If I do Beta Exam certification on or before 30Mar13,it is sufficient or I have to do the Beta Production certification also.

    Hi Eric,
    When you log back in to your account at ilearining.oracle.com, there should be a support link. Please post your question to the iLearning support team. You could also contact Oracle University at http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=225. This is an Oracle University product rather than an Oracle Certification product, so they would be the best team to assist. I hope this helps.

  • How Oracle 11g leverages the features of Multi-core Architectures

    Hi,
    I am investigating on the oracle 11g features which leverages the features of Multi-core architectures. Can you please give me some articals/papers/web-links which at least gives an introoductory aspects of this.
    Do you have some ideas about oracle features which oracle has provided for DB performance on multicore architectures.

    Hi,
    here is a link describing the various operations that can benefit from parallel execution. The article is about things that can be done in parallel on a rac cluster but of course you can also run them in parallel on a single SMP server. Most of them are Enterprise Edition features and I think the article does not mention the use of more than one channel for rman backups. Also, you can use datapump with a degree of parallelism (data loads are also mentioned in the article)

  • Oracle 11g R2 Client Silent Installation Issue (PATH) Windows 7 x86

    Hi All,
    I'm hoping somebody can shed some light on this issue.
    I created a Response file using the 'Save Response File' method during an interactive installation on a Windows 7 Enterprise x86 client. (file enclosed)
    I have installed it multiple times now with multiple permutations of the command line (got caught out by the old lower case F in responseFile) but now I'm getting the same error each time (a critical error with the PATH according to the installation log). There is nothing wrong with the path length as the installation works fine in GUI mode and passes the Prereq check.
    I launch the command line to install (with Run As Administrator) - "[location of setup.exe]\setup.exe" -nowait -silent -responseFile "[location of response file]\Oracle11gv2.rsp"

  • Oracle 11g Linguistic NLS SORT Throws Exception

    I have one table 'Test' in that column TestDesc varchar2(4000). Now if i retrieve the records by
    select sts, it is successfully executed. The same if i do after exec of the below sts, it is
    throwing ORA-00910:specified length too long for its datatype.
    1. ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT=GENERIC_m;
    2. Select * From Test order by TestDesc; (It is throwing ORA-00910 exception)
    But the same query/setup is executed successfully in oracle 10g.
    My question:
    Why it is throwing this exception especially in 11g?
    Do i need to excute any alter sts like changing of charactor set..
    Kindly help me to sove this issue.

    Does that mean that 11.2.0.1 (without pse), NLSSORT does not work as intended (documented)?
    Correct. At least, if the related information in bug reports is correct.
    Is there in 11.2.0.2 still silent truncation instead of "... calculates the collation key for a maximum prefix", if there's a difference?
    There is no difference. The term "silent truncation" is not really precise, so the documentation describes the process in a more elaborate way.
    Shouldn't docs mention that a "calculated result" could mean that sorts may sometimes be out of sequence (in-exact collation)?
    Yes, it should. It is sometimes too easy to assume that things obvious to oneself are also obvious to anybody else ;-) I have asked for the following explanation to be added after the relevant doc paragraph:
    "The above behavior implies that two character values whose collation keys (NLSSORT results) are compared to find the linguistic ordering are considered equal if they do not differ in the prefix described above even though they may differ at some further character position. As the NLSSORT function is used implicitly to find linguistic ordering for comparison conditions, BETWEEN condition, IN condition, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, and COUNT(DISTINCT), those operations may return results that are only approximate for long character values. This is a restriction of the current comparison architecture. Currently, the only way to guarantee precise linguistic comparison results is to not compare character values that are longer than 499 characters for monolingual collations and 124 characters for multilingual collations."
    -- Sergiusz
    Edited by: S. Wolicki, Oracle on May 5, 2011 1:17 PM
    Lowered the pessimistic length for multilingual sorts from 249=floor((2000-3)/8) to 124=floor((2000-3)/16)

    Make sure you have ssh configured properly on both nodes.
    Do you have the Oracle Clusterware Installation 11g Release (whatever your platform is)?
    Read this section 2.12.3 Enabling SSH User Equivalency on Cluster Member Nodes
    Try this on rac1.
    ssh rac2 date
    Try this on rac2.
    ssh rac1 date
    If these don't return the date of the other host you haven't configured SSH properly.

  • Need Best way to start learning Oracle 11g  DBA

    Hi.This is Tejaswi.
    I want to learn Oracle 11g DBA.I've downloaded all software's and Documentation for Orcl 11g R2. Now. i want to start Learning DBA. Can any one suggest me the best way to Start learning DBA?
    Please suggest me the good books For Oracle Architecture and SQL.......

    Hello Tejaswi,
    The advice you got about reading the Oracle Concepts and 2 Day DBA documentation is very good advice.
    I found that knowing some SQL*Plus and SQL Developer was also very helpful as, they both provide a way to interface with the database and try the things you read about. For SQL Plus, I used the book:
    Oracle SQL*Plus: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition
    By Jonathan Gennick
    Publisher : O'Reilly
    ISBN : 0-596-00746-9 I openly recommend it. It is easy to read, the book is very well thought out, it covers what you really need to know (and more too). The author explains the subjects very well. I would definitely learn some SQL Plus and SQL developer before getting into the 2 Day DBA document (make those 2 days about 7 days each if not more).
    To learn SQL, I "sort of" used (I say "sort of" because I only read some parts of it available online and at the local bookstore):
    Oracle SQL by Example
    By Alice Rischert
    Publisher: Prentice Hallit probably has more SQL than you'd need as a DBA but, it is an excellent book you may want to consider.
    If you are starting from scratch, as I did, you'll find that you need to learn multiple things at the same time. I believe SQL Plus is the best place to start, along with possibly the Concepts document. That will give you a base to build upon.
    HTH,
    John.

  • Benefits of context in Oracle 11g

    I spent a lot of time doing R&D on benefits of context but was somehow was not able to really understand the benefit of context in Oracle 11g. I would try to explain with an example, I have seen an example of database session-based application context where an ‘after logon database’ was using a context to raise_application_error if the user logged in was not in the employees table. I was wondering that the same thing can be implemented without the context to raise_application_error if the user logged in was not authorized.
    I hope I have been able to explain my question properly about the exact benefits of contexts,
    Please revert with the reply to my query.
    Regards

    I have seen an example of database session-based application context where an ‘after logon database’ was using a context to raise_application_error if the user logged in was not in the employees table.
    Great! Post a link to what you 'saw' so we can see it to and get the FULL CONTEXT of what it ws doing and how it was doing it.
    I was wondering that the same thing can be implemented without the context to raise_application_error if the user logged in was not authorized.
    We have no way of knowing until we know WHAT the code you 'have seen' was doing and HOW it was doing it.
    Maybe the same thing can be done without using contexts. But most examples are just that: examples. They try to show you the MINIMUM that must be done to illustrate what the functionality can do.
    They often do NOT illustrate or discuss in detail WHEN to use contexts or WHAT problems contexts are most suited for.
    First - we need to know WHAT contexts are. For that the Oracle docs can be used:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28531/app_context.htm
    What Is an Application Context?
    An application context is a set of name-value pairs that Oracle Database stores in memory. The application context has a label called a namespace, for example, empno_ctx for an application context that retrieves employee IDs. Inside the context are the name-value pairs (an associative array): the name points to a location in memory that holds the value. An application can use the application context to access session information about a user, such as the user ID or other user-specific information, or a client ID, and then securely pass this data to the database. You can then use this information to either permit or prevent the user from accessing data through the application. You can use application contexts to authenticate both database and nondatabase users.
    Note that the ONLY possible uses mentioned are authentication related - so more info is needed that just that intro.
    Think of an application context as a global variable that holds information that is accessed during a database session
    More info - global variables - available ANYTIME during a session. Note in particular it says NOTHING about any packages/functions/procedures being needed. Hmm - maybe we can use those 'global variables' in SQL queries?
    But you ask about benefits - the doc has a section for that:
    Benefits of Using Application Contexts
    Most applications contain the kind of information that can be used for application contexts. For example, in an order entry application that uses a table containing the columns ORDER_NUMBER and CUSTOMER_NUMBER, you can use the values in these columns as security attributes to restrict access by a customer to his or her own orders, based on the ID of that customer.
    Application contexts are useful for the following purposes:
      Enforcing fine-grained access control, for example, in Oracle Virtual Private Database polices
      Preserving user identity across multitier environments
      Enforcing stronger security for your applications, because the application context is controlled by a trusted procedure, not the user
      Increasing performance by serving as a secure data cache for attributes needed by an application for fine-grained auditing or for use in PL/SQL conditional statements or loops
    This cache saves the repeated overhead of querying the database each time these attributes are needed. Because the application context stores session data in cache rather than forcing your applications to retrieve this data repeatedly from a table, it greatly improves the performance of your applications.
      Serving as a holding area for name-value pairs that an application can define, modify, and access
    There are some benefits like you ask about
      Global application contexts.This type retrieves data that is stored in the System Global Area (SGA) so that it can be used for applications that use a sessionless model, such as middle-tier applications in a three-tiered architecture. A global application context is useful if the session context must be shared across sessions, for example, through connection pool implementations.
    "Using Global Application Contexts" describes this type.
    Interesting! This means you can truly have GLOBAL variables that are accesible by ALL USERS ACROSS SESSIONS.
    How would you do that using other functionality?
    The doc goes on to give other examples of 'benefits:
    This section contains:
      About the Package That Manages the Database Session-Based Application Context
      Using SYS_CONTEXT to Retrieve Session Information
      Using Dynamic SQL with SYS_CONTEXT
      Using SYS_CONTEXT in a Parallel Query
      Using SYS_CONTEXT with Database Links
      Using DBMS_SESSION.SET_CONTEXT to Set Session Information
    What about that SYS_CONTEXT function? That is in the Sql Language Doc
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e41084/functions184.htm
    Purpose
    SYS_CONTEXT returns the value of parameter associated with the context namespace at the current instant. You can use this function in both SQL and PL/SQL statements. SYS_CONTEXT must be executed locally.
    For namespace and parameter, you can specify either a string or an expression that resolves to a string designating a namespace or an attribute. If you specify literal arguments for namespace and parameter, and you are using SYS_CONTEXT explicitly in a SQL statement—rather than in a PL/SQL function that in turn is in mentioned in a SQL statement—then Oracle Database evaluates SYS_CONTEXT only once per SQL statement execution for each call site that invokes the SYS_CONTEXT function.
    More benefits - contexts and the function can be used in 'both SQL and PL/SQL statements'. And because a SQL statement in PL/SQL that uses SYS_CONTEXT can be parsed at compile time that means that contexts are essentially treated as BIND variables and can dramatically improve performance in PL/SQL code of both standard SQL statements and DYNAMIC sql statements.

  • Looking for BPM Enterprise Edition architecture Diagram

    I am looking for a BPM Enterprise Edition architecture Diagram showing how all the pieces (e.g. BPM, Oracle DB, LDAP directory, WebLogic server, Application server etc.) fit together . If it is available on the internet, can you please let me know the URL ?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have several diagrams you could use but can't paste it in. The product docs on oracle.com have some but if you need something else maybe I can help. I do not publish my email on this site so we would have to find another channel to communicate.
    Cheers,

  • JDEV 11G TP3 [BUG]: Diagramming / Use Case & Activity  / open save

    I'm not able to open existing use diagram and couldn't save activity diagram after i created them. So UML is not functional in this preview release.
    Is this knowns bugs ?
    Is some workarounds knows ?
    I need these diagrams very soon and would know if i have to create them in a another tools or it is a way to use JDeveloper for them.
    Thank you

    JDEV 11G TP3 [BUG]: Diagramming / Use Case & Activity  / open save
    I already sent my project files to Shay. I may sent them to you too if needed.
    I suspect the problem may be due by the fact i'm using two workspaces simultanously, both managed with subversion. I already detected in the same configuration that "Select in Navigator" from pl/sql editor doesn't find an edited file (loaded from the offline database navigator) in the offline database navigator because it was searching the same project but in the wrong workspace.

  • Oracle 11g benefits

    Hello Guys
    Oracle 11g new features notes as found on web very generic
    if i want to convince my client to switch from oracle 10g to oracle 11g,this information will not be useful
    if you had migrated to 11g and worked on it,please reply practical reasons from dba point of view
    how customer will be benefited from migrating from oracle 10 g to 11g
    like if i mentioned to him ADR feature it doesnt makes sense to him
    Active dataguard may be one of feature but will be have any benefit where dataguard is implemented
    still to application guys also it will give any advantage
    say for example i am discussing this with Application team head ,how will he benefit from migrating to 11g
    what feature will be benefitted to him and how
    will this feature will be appealing enough to efforts in migration
    thanks
    cheers

    In my opinion, the best way to convince them is to do an assessment for their particular environment, based on the specifics.
    For example, I've done such one for a database and here are some of the points:
    1. Almost 30%(as reported by Grid Control) of frequently executed queries are on tables like XX.XXXX and YY.YYYYY. These tables are relatively small and statements , and functions on them are good candidates for modification to use :
    Query Results Cache and PL/SQL Function Result Cache (Oracle 11G Enterprise Edition option, no extra cost needed).
    2. From time to time we experience sudden execution plan changes and get worse plans. This degrades applications' performance orders of magnitude. Oracle 11g has a new built-in feature called "SQL Plan Management". As described in the docs:
    "SQL plan management prevents performance regressions resulting from sudden changes to the execution plan of a SQL statement by providing components for capturing, selecting, and evolving SQL plan information. If you are performing a database upgrade that installs a new optimizer version, it can result in plan changes for a small percentage of SQL statements, with most of the plan changes resulting in either no performance change or improvement. However, certain plan changes may cause performance regressions.
    With SQL plan management, the optimizer automatically manages execution plans and ensures that only known or verified plans are used. When a new plan is found for a SQL statement, the plan is not used until it has been verified by the database to have comparable or better performance than the current plan. This means if you seed SQL plan management with your current (pre-11g) execution plan, which will become the SQL plan baseline for each statement, the optimizer uses these plans after the upgrade. If the 11g optimizer determines that a different plan should be used, the new plan is queued for verification and will not be used until it has been confirmed to have comparable or better performance than the current plan."
    I don't expect this to be perfect but at least it will decrease the number of such problematic periods.
    3. 10g Recovery Manager doesn't support parallelism per datafile. In our environment we have several 30+GB datafiles and since our storage system is not very fast for such type of operations, non-parallel restore of a single datafile will take much more time compared to the same activity on 11g. 11g supports RMAN datafile restore in parallel.
    4. Several optimizations in optimizer work. One of them is better handling of full scans:
    We've done some tests 10g/11g and were surprised because of this direct path read/db file scattered reads thing. Our tests are:
    Two databases - one 11g and one 10g with same sga_target,sga_max_size(500MB) and pga_aggregate_target(200MB), everything else is as it is set during install by DBCA. These two databases run on one host.
    The storage is a NAS(6 discs) managed by 11g ASM (one normal redundancy diskgroup ) which is used by the databases.
    I imported a 3GB table on every database and gathered stats. To not go in detail as of now, the results are:
    three consecutive runs on 11g.
    average execution time - 50 seconds
    three consecutive runs on 10g.
    average execution time - 125 seconds
    The statement is:
    select /*+ full(t) nocache(t) */ count(1) from zz.zzz t;
    and there is no other activity on the host and the storage.
    Same number of logical and physical reads during 11g and 10g runs.
    During the above runs while run on:
    11g, iostat reports ~14MB/s per disk
    10g, iostat reports ~5MB/s per disk
    After tracing these sessions we figured out that on 11g direct path read is used, while 10g uses db file scattered read.
    5. We can use AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS in conjunction with XML,EXTENDED for auditing purposes. 10.2.0.4 has a bug for this that is fix in 11.1.0.6 onwards.
    6. Database Resident Connection Pooling(Concepts guide 11g documentation)
    "Database Resident Connection Pooling (DRCP) provides a connection pool in the database server for typical Web application usage scenarios. DRCP pools dedicated servers, which comprise of a server foreground combined with a database session, to create pooled servers.
    A Web application typically acquires a database connection, uses the connection for a short period, and then releases the connection. DRCP enables multiple Web application threads and processes to share the pooled servers for their connection needs.
    DRCP complements middle-tier connection pools that share connections between threads in a middle-tier process. DRCP also enables you to share database connections across multiple middle-tier processes. These middle-tier processes may belong to the same or different middle-tier host.
    DRCP enables a significant reduction in key database resources that are required to support a large number of client connections. DRCP reduces the amount of memory required for the database server and boosts the scalability of both the database server and the middle-tier. The pool of readily available servers also reduces the cost of re-creating client connections.
    DRCP is especially useful for architectures with multi-process, single-threaded application servers, such as PHP and Apache servers, that cannot do middle-tier connection pooling. The database can scale to tens of thousands of simultaneous connections with DRCP."
    It will help us to improve dedicated server usage(currently we use shared server).
    7. A lot of bug fixes for bugs that don't have 10g patches , fixed in 11g only and affect us - examples XML,EXTENDED and AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS bug, FGA bugs, job system on logical standby database , "ORA-12569: TNS:packet checksum failure" during sqlplus login and so on.
    It's for sure that there are much more such convincing points, but a several days assessment will make it possible to identify the most important ones from performance/availability/security perspective for their environment. As it is often the case - the devil is in the details. It's all about the way they use the database.

  • DB Architectural Diagram

    I am new to ORACLE DB's (used to do SYBASE) so I know this will be an easy question. Where can I obtain a DB architectural diagram of all of the tables, views, relationships, etc for a ORACLE 10g system? They used to be on wall charts about 3' by4' in size.

I have had several. They are usually "marketing swag" from 3d Party vendors of Oracle management tools like Spotlight, DBArtisan, etc. I have one on my wall now from Computer Associates. .
