Oracle 8.0.6 to Oracle 8.1.7 communications issue

We are trying to move data from objects in an Oracle 8.0.6 database running on HP-UNIX to a 8.1.7 database running on a Sun Solaris. Most of the time we have no issues, however we have seen our processes that utilize both databases to appear hung. We have a development and production version of both databases and have been able to duplicate the problem both with Pro C and SQLPLUS. It seems like the listener is timing out however a restart of the listener has no effect. We can duplicate the problem by not accessing the 8.1.7 side (Sun) from the 8.0.6 side (HP) for a few days. In order to correct we have to bounce the 8.1.7 DB. When our DBA issues a shutdown command on the 8.1.7 side while our processes are in this state it does not work. You'll have to forgive my lack of detail, our DBA as been handling all of the research. She has been working with Oracle support and they keep passing her around to different groups. One interesting note: we have a workaround that so far seems to work. By running cron jobs that analyze stats on the 8.1.7 database we have so far been able to prevent this from happening. On the production side (not in use yet) we have not implemented the cron jobs and we can duplicate the problem every other day. When our processes stall there are no errors reported and Oracle support has already reviewed our trace files and found nothing. Access to the 8.1.7 DB is performed by public synonym from the 8.0.6 database. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this or know of some different things we can check. We have ruled out coding because we can duplicate with various SQL and Pro C code. Any help or responses are greatly appreciated.

Chris,
This forum focuses on connectivity to non-Oracle systems. Your questions would be best on the General database forum.

Oracle Apps Database severe Performance Issue

Hi Gurus,
This is regarding a severe performance issue running in our Production E-Business Suite Instance.
its an R12.1.3 setup installed with 11.2.0.1 Database. All the servers are Solaris Sparc 64 (Solaris 10)
Let me brief you about the instance first:
2 Node Application
- Main Application Server hosting web/forms/concurrent/admin servers
- iSupplier server hosting web services (placed in DMZ, used by external suppliers via Internet)
1 Node Database Server
Database Server Specs
Memory: 144G phys mem 20G total swap
- CPUs (8Px4cores, 2Px2cores)
- I/O - fiber channel hard disk (hitachi SAN Storage) - 7 DATA_TOPs (7 drives with RAID 5) - current DB size 1.6 TB
- at peak load, around 1000 concurrent forms session and 2000 web sessions.
We have been facing some serious performance issues and we raised an SR with Oracle Support.
The Support analyzed a bunch of AWR Reports we provided them and they asked us to increase the DB_CACHE from its current usage of 27G to 40G
So, we changed SGA_TARGET from 35G to 50G and PGA was increased from 35G to 40G as v$pgastat was also suggesting some lack of memory.
We made these changes last night.
Today morning we observed the following:
1. after start of office hours, we checked in the home page of EM DB Console that ADDM was showing reduced impact due to lack of SGA memory which seemed to be a good sign. Earlier it was around 25% which was now at 12%.
However, negative aspects were:
1. lot of swapping was reported by the System Administrators on the DB Server
2. High CPU Usage
3. EM DB Console showed a lot of "Concurrency Wait Class" events ...throughout the day lot of blocking sessions were reported which were making other sessions to wait.
in the AWR Report, following foreground reports were listed:

This is showing "library cache lock" events as the main culprit apart from the usual suspect, the CPU.
I am attaching the AWR Report. Please let me know if i should revert back the memory changes or is there anything else i could do.
Please help us resolving it because the performance is going worst.

Muneer.

Oracle EPM 11.1.2 issue with system-jazn-data.xml & HIT entries

Have been working on configuring Oracle EPM 11.1.2 and have one final issue from the diagnostic utility that I cannot figure out. Configuration sequence is as follows and each step is installed in its own database:
Step 1 - Foundation/Shared Services/Calc Mgr/EPMA/Essbase to a single relational DB. I am not configuring the web server until the final step.
Step 2 - Hyperion Performance Scorecard
Step 3 - Planning
Step 4 - Profitability
Step 5 - RA and configure web server.
I have used both SQL Server Express 2008 and Oracle DB 11g and get the same result.
When I complete the install, restart all of the services, and run the diagnostic utility, I get a failure with foundation services indicating that the file "system-jazn-data.xml" cannot be found. No real help is provided with the error message and have found no help in the docs or on the web. I have searched the disk and the file seems to be in the proper place per the docs. I have done partial configs and do not get the error. I have then compared the system-jazn-data.xml file from the successful config to the system-jazn-data.xml file from the failed config they are identical. Both files seem to be bloated with tens of thousands of lines, most of them blank.
I had reached a point where I thought the issue was related to Performance Scorecard and removed that step. I am now getting the error again.
Anyone seeing this issue? Is it just a bogus message in the diagnostic report and can be ignored? Any other thoughts?
Thanks
EPMCloud

Update - After going through the install many more times, I still do not know what the issue is, but I believe I have figured out how to resolve it. It appears that if you go back (after everything is installed and configured) and reconfigure the application server for Foundation services, the issue is corrected.
I am running some final test now and if I discover something different, I will update the post.

Quick Resolution tips
1) Use Bulk Processing feature BULK COLLECT with LIMIT and FOR ALL for DML instead of row by row processing
2) Use Data Caching Technique/Options to cache static data
3) Use Pipe Line Table Functions whenever possible
4) Use Global Temporary Table, Materialized view to process complex records
5) Try avoiding multiple network trips for every row between two database using dblink, Use Global temporary table or set operator to reduce network trip
6) Use EXTERNAL Table to build interface rather then creating custom table and program to Load and validate the data
7) Understand Oracle's Cost based Optimizer and Tune most expensive SQL queries with help of Explain plan
8) Follow Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices
9) Review tables and their indexes being used in the SQL queries and avoid unnecessary Table scanning
10) Avoid costly Full Table Scan on Big Transaction tables with Huge data volume,
11) Use appropriate filtration condition on index columns of seeded Oracle tables directly mapped to program parameters
12) Review Join condition on existing query explain plan
13) Use Oracle hint to guide Oracle Cost based optimizer to choose best plan for your custom queries
14) Avoid applying SQL functions on index columns
15) Use appropriate hint to guide Oracle CBO to choose best plan to reduce response time
Thanks
Praful

I understand you were trying to post something helpful to people, but sorry, this list is appalling.
1) Use Bulk Processing feature BULK COLLECT with LIMIT and FOR ALL for DML instead of row by row processing
No, use pure SQL.
2) Use Data Caching Technique/Options to cache static data
No, use pure SQL, and the database and operating system will handle caching.
3) Use Pipe Line Table Functions whenever possible
No, use pure SQL
4) Use Global Temporary Table, Materialized view to process complex records
No, use pure SQL
5) Try avoiding multiple network trips for every row between two database using dblink, Use Global temporary table or set operator to reduce network trip
No, use pure SQL
6) Use EXTERNAL Table to build interface rather then creating custom table and program to Load and validate the data
Makes no sense.
7) Understand Oracle's Cost based Optimizer and Tune most expensive SQL queries with help of Explain plan
What about using the execution trace?
8) Follow Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices
Which are?
9) Review tables and their indexes being used in the SQL queries and avoid unnecessary Table scanning
You mean design your database and queries properly? And table scanning is not always bad.
10) Avoid costly Full Table Scan on Big Transaction tables with Huge data volume,
It depends if that is necessary or not.
11) Use appropriate filtration condition on index columns of seeded Oracle tables directly mapped to program parameters
No, consider that too many indexes can have an impact on overall performance and can prevent the CBO from picking the best plan. There's far more to creating indexes than just picking every column that people are likely to search on; you have to consider the cardinality and selectivity of data, as well as the volumes of data being searched and the most common search requirements.
12) Review Join condition on existing query explain plan
Well, if you don't have your join conditions right then your query won't work, so that's obvious.
13) Use Oracle hint to guide Oracle Cost based optimizer to choose best plan for your custom queries
No. Oracle recommends you do not use hints for query optimization (it says so in the documentation). Only certain hints such as APPEND etc. which are more related to certain operations such as inserting data etc. are acceptable in general. Oracle recommends you use the query optimization tools to help optimize your queries rather than use hints.
14) Avoid applying SQL functions on index columns
Why? If there's a need for a function based index, then it should be used.
15) Use appropriate hint to guide Oracle CBO to choose best plan to reduce response time
See 13.
In short, there are no silver bullets for dealing with performance. Each situation is different and needs to be evaluated on its own merits.

Oracle 10g RAC+ASM - Storage Issue

I’ve an issue related to Oracle 10g RAC.
I’ve 2 node cluster each being Dell 2850 Server with RHEL 4.0
I’ve EMC CX300 SAN storage with following partitions
/orasoft     10 Gb          OCFS2 File system
/oracrs          2 Gb          OCFS2 File system
/orabackup      100 Gb          OCFS2 File system
The datafiles are on ASM which is not directly visible in OS.
I’ve common Oracle Home installed in /orasoft/db_1 which is shared by both nodes in cluster.
I’ve faced an issue recently related to EMC storage.
The /orasoft partition displays 1.4 Gb space available using df command.
With both nodes sharing the common Oracle Home (/orasoft/db_1), when ever I try to touch a file I get an error as No Space left on device. I’m unable to start any service with the same reason.
Is this setup correct ??
Can anyone help me with this storage issue ??

Hi,
If you create a new diskgroup you may be to add the same diskgroup to parameter file or spfile and which will be needing down time.
sugestion: Instead of creating new diskgroup you should to add disk to existing group.if you add asm disk to existing group your all problem will be solved and Oracle itself will be managing all.And than i am sure no need to add entry in the parameter or spfile like +db_create_file_dest=.....

Oracle Enterprise Manager Console Login issue

HI Guys,
I have installed Oracle 10g on my Windows 7 64 bit system and have trouble running Oracle Enterprise Manager Console.
When I open Oracle Enterprise Manager Console it prompts me for a Hostname and SID parameters. For which I have given my System name as the parameter and orcl as the SID.
Then I get an error saying that " Failed to parse tnsnames.ora file ServiceAliasException: 11 "
Please Help!!
Thank you!!

Oracle 8.1.6 Installation Issues

I've tried to install Oracle 8.1.6 many times with no success. Installing the "Typical" configuration works fine until it is 90% done with creating the starter database. Then, I will get an, "end of file on communication channel" error message. The database creation stops at that point. If I try to create the database manually using SVRMGRL, I get a, "TNS:protocol adapter error" message. Attempts at reconfiguring the tnsnames, listener, or password files have failed.
The install platform:
- Windows NT 4.0 (with service pack 5)
(it may have an option pack as well)
- Intel Celeron 500 mhz
- 13 gb hard drive
- 256 mb ram

TCP/IP seems to be functioning properly considering that Oracle 8.0.5 will install and run perfectly.
Oracle 8.1.6 doesn't seem to have a problem writing to the registry or creating the services.
It is possible that the issue has to do with the NT installation itself because a co-worker was able to get it running on the same platform after a clean image was loaded.

Oracle 9i database software upgrade issue with standby (Dataguard) database

All,
I have encountered a problem in upgrading the Oracle software on 2 of our databases in-house. The databases in question here are using Dataguard, so one is set to primary and one is set to standby. The version that they are/were starting at is 9.2.0.7.
I was able to install and complete the 9.2.0.8 and 9.2.0.8 OCT CPU patches on the primary database, however when I moved to working on the standby database, I am got an error when attempting to follow step 6 of the post installation tasks:
Enter the following SQL*Plus commands:
SQL> STARTUP MIGRATE
SQL> SPOOL patch.log
SQL> @ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\catpatch.sql
SQL> SPOOL OFF
(Please note that this is my first experience with working with Dataguard, so my methods in updating might have been a bit off-base.)
If I attempt to startup the standby database in MIGRADE mode, I get the following error (which is expected):
ORA-01666: controlfile is for a standby database
If I try to run the catpatch.sql script, even after mounting the database in standby mode, I receive the additional error:
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
My question here is, how do I get the standby database to allow me to finish the software upgrade process, so that both versions of Oracle match on the primary and standby databases? :)
(I did try some research on Metalink, but only found an article detailing how to upgrade your dataguard database from 9i to 10g, which did not look especially helpful in this case...)
Thank you!
-Sabrina

Depending on the kind of Dataguard you currently have, physical or logical, there are two useful metalinks notes:
Upgrading to 10g with a Physical Standby in Place
Doc ID: Note:278521.1
Upgrading to 10g with a Logical Standby in Place

Oracle 10G Express Edition backup issues

After a backup job is run on our Oralce 10g Express Edition Server our system users can't access their web login page -
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex - To access their databse.
What i need to know is this.
I do a daily backup of the Oracle DB manually, the one that comes with express edition, but when the backup is comple users can't access the afforementioned web address as i have stated
1 - Does anyone know what can be causing this?
2 - When i backup the database manually where does the database actually backup to?
3 - I was thinking of backing up the Oralce DB manually usning XE's own backup then running Symatec backup Software to backup this file.In the event of a system crash i could then simply restore the operating system (windows 2003), reinstall XE and import the file i had backedup with XE . Does this sound like a good solution

No idea why users cant access the login page, maybe trying to post on XE forum Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) may help for this.
But you may use Rman with XE, it is a best practice for Oracle B&R and it is easy to control the backup destination with Rman - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/admin.102/b25107/backrest.htm#sthref414
Also these demos may help - http://psoug.org/reference/rman_demos.html

I am using SOA 11g to call an API in EBS using Oracle Apps Adapter .I am passing User name,Responsibility Name and other parameteres in invoke properties. Now the API is called successfully with most of the user names while for few usenames it's not able able to resolve user id based on user name. Although if the API is called from Oracle Apps/PL SQL ,it is working for all the users.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance

Oracle 8i jdbc/Tomcat connection issues

Tomcat 4.1.8
Oracle 8i JDBC Driver
I have been able to create the DataSource as a global resource and as a local resource inside the context of the application.
The code hangs when it attempts to create a connection. I have been able to connect to the database and perform the necessary query in a standalone application to ensure that I actually can connect.
JSP Code:

Java Code (Class called by JSP):
package vtw;
import javax.naming.*;

import java.sql.*;
public class VTWApp {
String list = "EMPTY";
public void init() {
try{
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
if(ctx == null )
throw new Exception("Boom - No Context");
System.out.println("Context Created ...");
DataSource ds =
(DataSource)ctx.lookup(

}catch(Exception e) {

}

I figured out the issue ...
In the server.xml file the resource & resource params needed to be modified..
1. Set type to oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource
2. Set factory to oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceFactory
3. In the Java code cast the context lookup to an OracleDataSource instead of a java.sql.DataSource
Oracles DataSource does not subclass the jdbc DataSource for its OracleDataSource class everything works fine now.

Oracle upgrade 10.2.0 issue with sql

we have recently upgrade oracle 10.2.0.After upgrading we found that some query returns the order of rows.Just like we have query which returns data in ascending order and which displays on to the screen.But now it screwed up the order of dispalying the rows.How do i fix it?

Here's news for you. It was never documented that GROUP BY would order your data, that was just a side effect, and a side effect that has now been corrected. If you want ordered data you should include an ORDER BY in your query, as you always should have done anyway if you'd written the queries properly. ;)

ORACLE 8i INSTALLER WITH P4 ISSUES AND TNS ERROR WITH 9i

I want to thank those that have been of help on this subject matter. Finally after 2 agonised weeks, I was able to get around the Oracle 8i installer not able to run on my Pentium 4 laptop. Also having problem logging in to 9i SQL*PLUS. I just want to reinstate that by renaming the file symcjit.dll to symcjit.old does not work automatically. I tried it on Oracle 8.1.6 and 8.1.7(Enterprise/Standard/Personal) many times. Although it did work with Oracle Personal 8.1.6 at one point in time after the system has already 9i installed. After uninstalling the 9i, the installer stopped working again. I WAS NOT SURE IF ORACLE HAS THIS ORACLE 9i DATABASE ENTERPRISE/STANDARD/PERSONAL FOR WINDOWS NT/2000/XP ON CD. THE ONE I BOUGHT IS THE 9IAS AND 9IDS (2 Boxes) WHICH WILL NOT CONFIGURE YOUR DATABASE FOR YOU.
When I was about to give up after doing some more research, then I saw the download for "Oracle9i Database Enterprise/Standard/Personal Edition for Windows NT/2000/XP". I followed the exact direction, but did everything in my directory and not DOS since I don't know the command for unzipping files in DOS. By unzipping all the files in their respective folders Disk1/Disk2/Disk3, and going to install/win32/setup.exe, the rest of the installation went smoothly, when the system prompt for the location of the next disk, just type 2 and then 3. The installation configured everything like tnsnmaes, instances, databases e.t.c. All I did was suppied the password for Sys and System.
By downloading this particular file, I was able to bypass any configuration which is a pain, but not for you DBA guys out there. THE DOCUMENTATION FOR THESE CD,s DID NOT GIVE EXACT STEP BY STEP FOR CONFIGURATION, ONLY INSTALLATION. I AM A DEVELOPER AND NOT A DBA. Orale 8i is more easy to confugure than 9i. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO INSTALL 6i, 9ids AND SQL NAVIGATOR ON TOP OF THIS 9i, AND ALL CONNECTIONS WORKED PERFECTLY BY USING SYS OR SYSTEM AND THE PASSWORD I SUPPLIED DURING INSTALLATION.
AGAIN THANKS TO EVERYBODY USING THIS FORUM. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT AND DOING A GOOD JOB HELPING OUT OTHERS. LET'S KEEP IT ROLLING!!!

O yea, I used WinZip 8.1 and it created correct directory stucture - that's the whole problem

Exporting Text data from PHP to Oracle CLOB data (Carriage return - issue)

This is my original text content in PHP - Data type - Longtext
SECTION - 1
This a test description.This a test description.
This a test description.This a test description.
This a test description. This a test description.I exported the above content from PHP as a SQL script file (insert into.. ) - export.sql [ insert into table_name (id, text_content) values (1, '') ]
while exporting data from PHP table into export file.. it replaced the "Carriage return" with "\r\n\r\n" in the insert statement for text_content column
When I run this INSERT statement in Oracle (for longtext, I have created a CLOB column in Oracle), the following text_content data is inserted into CLOB column in Oracle.
SECTION - 2
This a test description.This a test description.\r\n\r\nThis a test description.This a
test description.\r\n\r\nThis a test description.This a test description.Now I have created a item named P1_TEXT_CONTENT of type TEXTAREA and try to fetch the CLOB data into this page item.
BUT textarea displays the entire content including "\r\n\r\n" as mentioned in SECTION - 2
I want to display the content in textarea (item - P1_TEXT_CONTENT) without "\r\n\r\n" same as the original content with "Carriage return" as mentioned in SECTION - 1
What are the options we have?
Thanks,

update foo
set clob_column = replace(clob_column, '\r\n', chr(13) || chr(10));You might want to experiment to see which characters are actually necessary. As an OS X/Linux user I'd probably just use a single LF chr(10).

JDeveloper IDE Tool - Thank you Oracle/Sun and Java community

I am sure it has been done many times over within the JDeveloper community discussion but I felt compelled
to stop, think and acknowledge the efforts here.
To Oracle, Sun and others that have contributed to this software and resources a huge THANK YOU!
I started in this business as a COBOL programmer on the mainframe where the only option for you to learn
was to use a school or company mainframe to code. if you didn't have either your only
option was reviewing code in textbooks.
These tools are amazing for how much power they give those of us interested in furthering our skills but
limited in financial resources. The effort is staggering to me. Just lookng at the release notes and bug
fixes for the versions of this tool I am absolutely floored.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated. I hope that the open source concept continues. I applaud and urge
you to continue your efforts. You are all doing a wonderful thing really. In a time where the trend is to
charge charge charge for anything we do on our Droids and Iphones it is good to see a humane effort
flourish.

Always bear in mind that there is no such thing in life, called a free lunch.
I quote:
"Even if something appears to be free, there is always a cost to the person or to society as a whole even though that cost may be hidden or distributed.
For example, as Heinlein has one of his characters point out, a bar offering a free lunch will likely charge more for its drinks."
