Oracle 9i dataguard time lag monitoring script
In 10g we can run below script on Standby to find out time lag between Primary and standby .
select name, 'ALL', substr(value,1,12) from v$dataguard_stats where name = 'apply lag' ;
select name, 'Seconds', to_number(substr(value,11,2)) from v$dataguard_stats where name = 'apply lag' ;
select name, 'Minutes', to_number(substr(value,8,2)) from v$dataguard_stats where name = 'apply lag' ;
select name, 'Hours', to_number(substr(value,5,2)) from v$dataguard_stats where name = 'apply lag' ;
select name, 'Days', to_number(substr(value,2,2)) from v$dataguard_stats where name = 'apply lag' ;
But while running same script in oracle 9i stanby database i am getting below error;
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
Can i know which command i should use to monitor time lag between priamry and standby in oracle 9i?

Hi Friends,
I am asked by my boss to submit weekly reports about the database status.
She wanted something in excel format.
Can you suggest me what reports do I submit?
I found the following monitoring scripts from google:
Are these scripts still relevant ,or applicable, or obsolete?

;I just feel the above reports not really meaningful :(
Can you give me some other scripts that u have?
Thanks a lot,
MsKThanks all :-*
@sybrand
Oracle 9i comes with Oracle Enterprise Manager. This includes a reporting website with monitoring scripts.
Why write them yourself?My boss want a cumulative report over time, for example : what happened @ 1am,2am,3am on tuesday last week, why is the server so slow that the batch job did not complete as expected? Why was an error occured about a table that can not extend? Ora 1635. I mean you can see in the report that at this certain hour a certain tablespace was full.
oops maybe tablespace sample is not logical :D
say every day I can have excel reports of tablespace space status like:
tablespace_name used free date
TS_DATA 1000K 5000k 1-Oct-2010
TS_DATA 2000K 4000k 2-Oct-2010
TS_DATA 3000K 3000k 3-Oct-2010
TS_DATA 4000K 2000k 4-Oct-2010
TS_DATA 5000K 1000k 5-Oct-2010
TS_DATA 5000K 0k 6-Oct-2010Does Statspack can hold historical data for analysis? say for the last 24 hrs?
Thanks a lot -
Oracle 9i monitoring scripts in HACMP 5.4
Hi,
I have installed Oracle 9.2.0.8 on AIX 5.3 (HACMP 5.4) in active passive cluster.
I have made startup and shutdown scripts for Oracle.
Can anyone please guide me or point me to some link for the monitoring scripts for Oracle in HACMP so that failover can happen automaticaly.
Regards,
Amit EHave you tried changing the /etc/redhat-release file? Change the "release 5" to "release 4" and see what happens. Make sure you change it back after the install.

Hi experts...Version is 10.2.0...OS is AIX....Our AIX admins they want to upgrade their version from 5.3 to 6.1 wanted our DBA team to shutdown the Physical standby database...we did that and after all the maintanance was done we mounted the standby database...initially we had the Time lag of 30 minutes between the primary and standby....my question is how to know the time lag after the standby is up and mounted..and will the archives be applied as usually??? and what about the archives when the standby is down.....
It will be worth checking your alert logs to ensure that the logs are being shipped to the destination and then perhaps run a query such as something like this in order to check the time stamp on the latest archive log log applied.
On the Standby:
SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG
ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
(Check in line with the primary)
If the configuration was already there, then expect the log shipping to commence again once restarted. Note: While the standby is down the archive logs will remain in storage and will catch up once the database has been mounted again.

My company need to set database real time backup for Oracle 10g release 2 (Standard Edition).
I see in Oracle Database 10g Product Family [Oracle Database 10g Product Family|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/oracle10g/pdf/twp_general_10gdb_product_family.pdf] not support the Data Guard.
Can I do it in Oracle 10g SE ?
Thanks in advancehi,
trouble is the cost of EE can be quite expensive
another way of creating a psuedo (hope I spelt that correctly) dataguard would be to script a method of shipping archive files to a DR server.

ORACLE SERVER AND UNIX TP MONITOR-2
제품 : ORACLE SERVER

Subject: Oracle Server and UNIX Transaction Processing Monitors-2
Page(3/4)
This file contains commonly asked questions about Oracle7 Server and UNIX
Transaction Processing Monitors (TPMs). The topics covered in this article are
o Oracle Parallel Server and TP Monitors
o Oracle and DCE-based TP Monitors
o Other commonly asked questions
The questions answered in part 3 provide additional detail to the information
provided in part 1.
Oracle Parallel Server and TP Monitors
======================================
How does Oracle Parallel Server (OPS) work with TP Monitors?
If you are using Oracle-managed transactions, there are no special
considerations. But if you are using TPM-managed transactions, and
thus need to use the XA interface, then Oracle requires release 7.1.3
or later and a special version of the Distributed Lock Manager, called
the session-based lock manager. This version of the DLM is not yet
available for all platforms. To understand this restriction, let's take
a look at one of the technical details of XA.
The XA specification requires that the Resource Manager be able to
move a transaction from one process to another, and even to be
able to commit in a separate process. In Oracle, transactions are
attached to sessions, so that means that we also have to be able to
move sessions. Therefore, the session/transaction can't have any state
which is tied to a particular process. The first generation distributed
lock managers were all built to use the process id as the lock owner,
which doesn't work for locks which need to move with the transaction.
Oracle and DCE-based TP Monitors
================================
How does Oracle interface to the Encina TP monitor? To CICS/6000? I've
heard that they require OSF DCE facilities in order to run?
Oracle interfaces to Encina and CICS/6000 just as it does to any other
TP Monitor. The TP Monitor issues XA commands to control transactions, and
Oracle executes the commands. Encina and CICS/6000 do use DCE features for
their own operation. However, this use is transparent to the Oracle Server.
What DCE facilities can Oracle products take advantage of when working with
a DCE-based TP Monitor?
The two most commonly mentioned DCE features which might be useful
to Oracle users are multi-threading and security. We look at these in
the subsequent questions in this section.
Encina documentation suggests that a Resource Manager such as Oracle can
be either single-threaded or multi-threaded? Which way is Oracle XA
implemented?
The Oracle XA implementation is single-threaded, as is any Oracle client.
Within a single process, at most one thread can access Oracle at a time.
Does that mean that only a single Encina application can access an instance
of Oracle transactionally at any given moment?
No. Oracle XA is only single-threaded within a single application server
process. Multiple applications can access Oracle simultaneously using XA
by using different application processes. Encina allows
(1) serial reuse of a single server by different clients. There are
two options for this. The server can use long term reservation
but be defined to be in shared or concurrent access mode, which
allows the server to be used by another client as soon as an RPC
completes. Alternatively, the server can use default reservation
and exclusive mode, which allows the server to be used by another
client as soon as the current transaction ends.
(2) concurrent execution by multiple servers, even if they are accessing
the same Oracle database. These may be executing the same or different
procedures.
These two features should let you get as much concurrency as you need.
Why isn't the Oracle XA library multi-threaded?
The XA specification specifically states that its use of the phrase
"thread of control" means a process. If an RM were to multi-thread its
XA, it would be in violation of the specification. This restriction
was put place in because at the time the specification was written,
there were numerous thread packages: if the TM used one, the application
another, and perhaps the RM yet a third, there's no way it could work.
As threads standards settle down, the later versions of XA will probably
relax this restriction.
Will Oracle change if the XA specification changes?
Very likely. The exact time frame will of course depend on the priority of
all work items at that time.
Does Oracle use DCE security via the TP Monitors?
The integrity of the connection between a DCE TP Monitor client and DCE
TP Monitor server is protected by the DCE security functionality.
Theoretically, the TP Monitor could make the DCE-protected client security
information available to Oracle. Unfortunately, there's no standard way
for a TP Monitor to pass security information information to a Resource
Manager such as Oracle. Oracle is leading an effort to extend the X/Open
model to allow use of the security information provided by the Monitor.
In the meantime, the basic DCE security features such as encryption are
useful within TP Monitors.
Effective use of DCE security would normally also mean that the security of
the TP Monitor client be passed through the TP Monitor, through the Oracle
client (application server), to the Oracle Server, and possibly on
to other Oracle Servers through database links. The ability to transfer
security information to other processes, called delegation, is missing
in DCE version 1.0. DCE version 1.1, expected to emerge in late 1994,
has some delegation features. Oracle is examining these features to see
how they might be used.
Are there any special considerations for CICS/6000?
There are two:
(1) It is inefficient to run without XA. CICS/6000 is designed to
use XA. It uses XA so that the CICS server can log on to Oracle
when it starts, after which it makes that Oracle connection available
to any transaction it executes. If you don't use XA, the CICS server
does not itself log on to Oracle so each transaction has to log on
and log off - a very expensive mode of operation. Also, it is very
un-cics-like in that the application does the log{on,off} and also
commits - in a mainframe CICS database program CICS would implicitly
do these operations. Oracle does not recommend this mode because of the
performance penalty.
(2) CICS servers are generic and dynamically load application modules.
In order for these modules to access the Oracle connection made by
CICS, the applications must be built with a shared object version of
the Oracle libraries. This is an installation option on platforms which
support CICS/6000 and other products using its architecture such as
CICS 9000.
Other commonly asked questions
==============================
What other Resource Managers can be included in an Oracle XA transaction?
Several other relational database vendors have an XA implementation
available or in progress. There is an XA C-ISAM product from
Gresham Telecomputing. There are also Resource Managers contained
within some of the TP Monitors which can be coordinated in the same
transaction. For example, CICS/6000 has VSAM files and other data
stores, Encina has its RQS queuing system, and Tuxedo has its /Q queuing
system.
What is Recoverable Queuing Service (RQS) and how does it interoperate with
Oracle7 and Encina? What about /Q?
Recoverable Queuing Service is a feature provided by Encina which allows
transactional, distributed queuing (enqueue/dequeue). Tuxedo has a similar
product called /Q. Because these products are themselves coordinated by the
TM component of the TP Monitor, their queue operations are atomically
coordinated with with operations on XA Resource Managers such as Oracle7
Server. That is, they can atomically put something on one of their queues
and commit an Oracle transaction, then at some later time dequeue an
entry atomically with doing some other Oracle transaction. The queue
system guarantees that the message will not be lost or transmitted twice.
Can I mix TP Monitor applications with standard Oracle7 Server applications?
Yes, you can have existing Oracle applications connected to the database
with alongside TPM applications against the same database. The TPM does
not manage the whole database, just those transactions which are started
by the TPM. The Oracle Server will properly handle concurrency control
between the transactions managed by itself and those managed by the TPM.
Is Oracle planning to change its tools to be more suitable for TP Monitors?
With Oracle Procedure Builder 1.5, to be available with CDE2,
Oracle will provide a foreign function interface that allows you to
dynamically set up PL/SQL calls that access C functions. In other
words, you can access C routines in Windows DLLs from within your
PL/SQL procedures. This will allow PL/SQL under Windows easy access to
TP Monitor APIs.
Does Oracle7 Server itself use XA-compliant TPMs as the interface to
foreign RMs?
No, for this purpose Oracle Server uses the SQL*Connect products or the new
Transparent and Procedural Gateway products.
Does Oracle7 Server use XA to coordinate Oracle7-only distributed
transactions?
No, it uses an internal mechanism.
Can database links be used with XA?
If an Oracle7 database is running under XA, it can access other Oracle7
databases through database links, with some restrictions. First, the
access to the other database must use SQL*Net V2 and be running MTS.
Second, it must currently be to another Oracle7 database. Assuming those
restrictions, the Oracle 7 database can do distributed update to another
Oracle 7 database by using a database link, whether it is started by an
Oracle application or a TP Monitor application. The TPM will see Oracle
as only a single RM, but Oracle7 will propagate all the transaction
commands to the other database, including the two-phase commit. If
the transaction is started by a TP Monitor application and is using XA,
it can also update non-Oracle resources managed by the TPM. If it
is started from an Oracle application, it can only include resources
managed by Oracle.
Here's a sample configuration:
| TPM | | TPM |
| client | | client |
| |
| |
| TPM |
| |
| |
| Oracle | Forms, Forms, | Oracle | | non-XA | | XA |
| client | Plus, Plus, | client | | TPM | | TPM |

| Financials, Financials, | |(note 1)| ----------
| etc. etc. | ---------- |
| | | |

| | | |
| Database 1 | | Database 2 |
| | | |
| A | A
| | dblink to database 1 | |
| ------------------------------------ |
| |
dblink to database 2
Note 1: Oracle will work having both XA and non-XA servers but some TPMs
may have restrictions on this.
Are multiple direct connections possible from a Pro* program?
Using XA, you can not only specify multiple direct connections to Oracle7
databases, you can also update them both in the SAME transaction. The
way to do this is to use a precompiler feature called a named database.
When you use a named database, you qualify the SQL statement with the
database name. For example, you write EXEC SQL AT dbname UPDATE emp ....
We have a complementary feature in the xa open string to let the user
associate the name with a particular RM instance, called the DB clause.
You will also want to use the SqlNet clause in the open string so you
can give the two different SIDs. This clause does not require the use of
the SQL*Net product, it is just a naming convention. For more information,
see Oracle7 Server for UNIX Administrator's Reference Guide.
Some TP Monitors may not support having multiple Resource Mangers in the
same server; check with the TPM vendor.
Is there any collateral available for XA or TP Monitors?

This file contains commonly asked questions about Oracle Server and UNIX
Transaction Processing Monitors (TPMs). The topics covered in this article are
o Performance with Oracle Server and TP monitors
o Performance using Oracle's XA Library
The questions answered in part 4 provide additional detail to the information
provided in part 1.
Performance with Oracle Server and TP Monitors
==============================================
I have heard that Transaction Processing Monitors (TPMs) will increase
Oracle Server performance. Is this true?
Several hardware and TPM vendors have made the claim that TPMs
will increase RDBMS performance. This claim is based on TPC-A
benchmarks. The key point to understand about TPC-A is that it
requires, for every transaction-per-second, ten times that many
users to be connected. For example, to get 600 TPS, you need 6000
users. The next question will answer in more detail how the the
three-tier architecture addresses this requirement, but first let's
look more generally at what TP Monitors can and can't do to improve
performance.
TP Monitors can provide better performance:
(1) When there are more than several hundred users connected.
This is because of the TP Monitor's role in the three-tier
architecture, described in the next question. In this
architecture, terminal handling is offloaded to one or more
separate machines, freeing up those cycles to do database work.
Note that this does NOT mean that Oracle itself runs faster,
just that we've given it more CPU cycles to use.
(2) When, because of the high potential concurrency of requests,
significant resource contention exists. Use of a TP Monitor can
limit the degree of concurrency and thus reduce contention.
TP Monitors can not provide better performance:
(1) For existing applications. The applications must be designed
to fit the TP Monitor architecture.
(2) For applications which are highly interactive in their use of
the database. These applications put many messages
through the transport system, and the TP Monitor is not as
efficient as SQL*Net for point-to-point communication.
(3) For CPU intensive single-query decision support. When executing
a single large command, Oracle query facilities work efficiently,
especially with the use of Oracle Parallel Query, available in 7.1.
How does the three-tier solution help TPC-A, or other situations with
thousands of on-line users?
The TPC-A test calls for a large number of users to produce a given
result. In the high-end results we produced in June, 1992, for example,
6150 terminals were simulated to produce 618 TPC-A transactions.
Thus, terminal concentration accounts for a large portion of the total
processing time used.
First, let's look at how the Multi Threaded Server would work for
this benchmark. In this case, there are many client processes,
but only a few server processes, which handle client requests on a
first-come first serve basis. When they are done with a request,
they take another client's request.

Client processes = N Dispatcher processes >= 1
Shared server processes >= 1
If there are 500 clients in this environment, there will be one or more
dispatcher processes, dynamically tunable, and one or more shared
server processes, dynamically tunable, on the server. The reduction
in the total number of processes handled by the server system
results in more processing time available for RDBMS activity. Thus
higher RDBMS transaction throughput can be obtained on the
server system.
But the problem for the TPC-A, and for certain large customer
configurations, is not the only ability of the Oracle Server to
process transactions, but also the ability of the operating
system to handle huge numbers of incoming connections.
There is one incoming connection for each client. Most UNIX
operating systems have a limit on how many such connections they can
handle. Even if a particular operating system allows a large number of
connections, each takes some amount of overhead to manage.
In order to service all 6150 terminals, we selected a 3-tier hardware
environment where the middle tier, using a TPM, acted as a terminal
concentrator. The high-end TPC-A architecture looked like the following.
The Application Servers, which contain the Pro*C statements used to
perform the transaction also run on the terminal concentrator machine
in order to offload as much work from the database serve as possible.
They send the compiled SQL over SQL*Net to the Oracle7 Server processes.

it offloads terminal handling from the the machine running Oracle Server.
Since more than one terminal concentrator can be configured, whereas the
database in this case had to run on a single machine, concentrator machines
can be added until the performance of the back-end machine was optimized.
This three-tier solution resulted in the outstanding transaction throughput
announced with Oracle7 Server. Even with Oracle Parallel Server, it may pay
to offload the terminal handling so that the cluster can be exclusively used
for database operations.
Can you summarize the performance discussion for me?
Depending on the number of users required, different architectures may be
used in a client/server environment to maximize performance:
1) For a small number of users, the traditional Oracle two-task
architecture can be used. In this case, there is a one-to-one
correspondence between client processes and server processes. It's
simple, straightforward, and efficient.
2) For a large number of users, Multi Threaded Server might be a better
approach. Although some tuning may be required, Multi Threaded Server
can handle a relatively large number of users for each machine size
compared to the traditional Oracle approach. Using this approach,
customers will be able to handle many hundreds of users on many
platforms. Furthermore, current Oracle applications can move to this
environment without change.
3) For a very large number of users, where transactions are simple and
terminal input concentration is the overriding performance issue, a
3-tier architecture incorporating a TPM may be useful. In this case,
terminal concentration is handled by the TPM in the middle tier. As
you might expect, it is a more complex environment requiring more
system management. For existing Oracle customers, significant Oracle
application modifications will be required.
Oracle provides all of these choices.
Performance using Oracle's XA Library
=====================================
Are there any performance implications to using the XA library (in other
words, to using TPM-managed transactions)?
(1) The XA library imposes some performance penalty. You should use
TPM-managed transactions only if you actually need them. Even if you
are getting the one-phase commit optimization, the code path is
longer because we need to map back and forth between external
formats and internal ones. Also, prior to 7.1, XA requires you
to release all cursors at the end of a transaction, which results
in extra parsing. Even with shared cursors, there is time spent
looking up the one you need and re-validating it. This has been
improved for 7.1.
(2) If you need to use two-phase commit, this will incur additional cost
since extra I/Os are required. If you do need 2PC, you need to account
for that when sizing the application.
(3) Although some TPMs allow parallel execution of services (such as Tuxedo's
"tpacall"), this will not normally enhance performance unless different
resource managers are being used. In fact, Oracle Server must serialize
accesses to the same transaction by the same Oracle instance, and the
block/resume code will in fact degrade performance in that case compared
to running the services sequentially.hello,
the role is the same on all plattforms. the reports server takes requests for running reports, spawns an engine that executes the request. in addition to that, the server also provides scheduling services and security features for the reports environment.

Explanation & Example
What is a Transaction Processing Monitor?
=========================================
Under UNIX, a Transaction Processing Monitor (TPM) is a tool that coordinates
the flow of transaction requests between front-end client processes that issue
requests and back-end servers that process them. A TPM is used as
the "glue" to coordinate transactions that require the services of several
different types of back-end processes, such as application servers and
resource managers, possibly distributed over a network.
In a typical TPM environment, front-end client processes perform screen
handling and ask for services from back-end server processes via calls to the
TPM. The TPM then routes the requests to the appropriate back-end server
process or server processes, wherever they are located on the network. Through
configuration information, the TPM knows what services are available and where
they are located. Generally, the back-end server processes are specialized so
that each one handles one type of requested service. The TPM provides
location transparency as well and can send messages through the network
utilizing lower-level transport services such as TCP/IP or OSF DCE.
The back-end servers process the requests as necessary and
return the results back to the TP monitor. The TP monitor then routes
these results back to the original front-end client process.
A TPM is instrumental in the implementation of truly distributed processing.
Front-end clients and back-end processes have no knowledge of each
other. They operate as separate entities, and it is this concept that provides
flexibility in application development. Front-end and back-end processes are
developed in the UNIX client-server style, with each side optimized for its
particular task. Server functionality can be deployed in stages, which makes
it easy to add functionality as needed later in the product cycle. It also
makes it easy to distribute both the front-end and back-end processes
throughout the network on the most appropriate hardware for the job. In
addition, multiple back-end server processes of the same type might be
activated to handle increasing numbers of users.
What is the X/Open Distributed Transaction Processing Model?
============================================================
The X/Open Transaction Processing working group has been working
for several years to establish a standard architecture to implement
distributed transaction processing on open systems. In late 1991,
X/Open published the initial Distributed Transaction Processing (DTP)
model specification and defined the first of several interfaces that
exist between the components of the model. Subsequently, other publications
and a revised model specification have been published.
An important function of the TPM in the X/Open DTP model is the
synchronization of any commits and rollbacks that are required to complete
a distributed transaction request. The Transaction Manager (TM) portion
of the TPM is the entity responsible for ordering when distributed commits
and rollbacks will take place. Thus, if a distributed application program
is written to take advantage of the TM portion of the TPM, then it,
and not the DBMS, becomes responsible for enabling the two-phase commit
process. Article 2 has more detail on this model.
How does the Oracle Server work with TPMs?
==========================================
When a TPM is used without invoking an X/Open TM component to manage the
transactions, Oracle Server needs no special functionality. The transaction
will be managed by Oracle itself. However, when the TPM X/Open TM component
is used to manage the transaction, the Oracle Server, that is the Oracle DBMS,
acts as a Resource Manager--a type of back-end process. In the case of
TPM-managed transactions, the TM needs a way to tell the RMs about the stages
of the transaction. This is done by a standard, X/Open defined interface
called XA. Article 2 of of this document gives more information about both
the X/Open model and Oracle7's use of XA.
Because the XA interface provides a standard interface between the TM and the
resource manager, it follows that the TM can communicate with any XA-compliant
resource manager (e.g., RDBMS), and, conversely, that a resource manager can
communicate with any XA-compliant TM. Thus, the Oracle Server, beginning with
Oracle7, works with any XA-compliant TM.
How should I position TPMs with my customer?
============================================
There's been a great deal of confusion about the need for TPM technology. Some
software suppliers, most notably IBM, will assert that a TPM like CICS is a
necessary requirement for high volume OLTP. Other vendors will assert that
there is seldom a need for such technology. And yet others promote TPMs as
providers of higher transaction throughput.
From Oracle's standpoint, customers might choose TPM technology under any of
the following conditions:
1. For heterogeneous database access, especially for 2PC capability
This means that a TPM can be used to coordinate 2PC between Oracle
DBMS and any other XA-compliant database, such as Informix. This
does NOT provide SQL heterogeneity - SQL calls to Oracle DBMS may be
different than SQL calls to Informix. The TPM handles the routing,
communication, and two-phase commit portion of the transaction, but
does not translate one type of SQL call into another.
2. For transaction monitoring and workload control
The leading TPMs supply tools to actively manage the flow of
transactions between clients and servers and to load balance the work
load across all available processors on a network, not just on a
single multi-processor system. Some TPMs also have the ability to
dynamically bring up additional back-end services during peak work
hours.
3. For more flexible application development and installation
One of the key features of the DTP model is application modularity.
Modularity, that is, the decomposition of a large program into small,
easily defined, coded and maintained "mini-programs" makes it easy to
add new functionality as needed. Modularity also makes it much easier
to distribute the front-end and back-end processes and the resource
managers across hardware throughout a network.
4. For isolating the client from details of the data model
By using the service oriented programming model, the client program
is unaware of the data model. The service can be recoded to use a
different one with no change to the client. To get this advantage,
the application developer must explicitly code the server and client
to fit the service model.
5. For connection of thousands of users
TP Monitors, because of their three-tier architecture, can be used
to connect users to an intermediate machine or machines, removing
the overhead of handling terminal connections from the machine
actually running the database. See Article 4 for more information.
There are also several cases where TPM technology is not the right answer.
These include:
1. If the customer is simply looking for a performance improvement
The customer may have heard a theory that "higher performance
is possible for large scale applications only if they use a
TP monitor". First, no performance gain can be achieved for
existing applications; in fact, they won't even run under a TP
Monitor without recoding. Second, performance improvements have
only been documented for large numbers of users, and "large"
means many hundreds or thousands. Without a TP Monitor,
Oracle Server can handle several hundred users with its normal
two-task architecture and several times that using the Multi
Threaded Server. For more on performance, see Article 4.
2. If the customer has made large investment in his existing Oracle
applications
TP monitor applications must be designed from the ground up to take
advantage of TP monitor technology. Current Oracle customers will find
it difficult to "retrofit" a TP monitor to their existing applications.
The Multi Threaded Server, on the other hand, allows the use of
existing Oracle applications without change.
3. If the customer is committed to the Oracle tool set
Currently, none of Oracle's front-end tools (Oracle Forms, etc.) is
designed to work with TP monitors. It is possible to invoke a
TP Monitor by using user exits. However, the fact that the TP
Monitor model hides the data model from the client means that only
the screen display parts of Forms can be used, not the automatic
mapping from screen blocks to tables.
4. If the customer does not have a staff of experienced software engineers
This is still very young technology for UNIX. There is not a lot of
knowledge in the industry on how to build TP monitor applications or
what techniques are most useful and which are not. Furthermore,
integrating products from different vendors, even with the support
of standard interfaces, is more complex than deploying an integrated
all-Oracle solution. Because TP monitor technology is fairly
complex, we recommend that you let the TP monitor supplier promote
the virtues of their technology and differentiate themselves from
their competitors.
What Oracle products must a customer purchase?
==============================================
If your customer is only interested in building Oracle-managed TP Monitor
transactions, the only Oracle products required are the Oracle Server
and the appropriate Oracle precompiler for whatever language the
application is being written in--most likely C or Cobol. If TPM-managed
transactions are required, the Oracle7 Server with the distributed option
is also required. SQL*Net is optional because the TPM takes care of the
network services. Article 2 describes when you would choose to have the TP
Monitor manage the transactions.
Where can my customer purchase a TPM?
=====================================
There are many vendors offering the UNIX TPM products. (Oracle does not
relicense TPMs.) Information on the most well known products is provided
below:

vendors are planning to redesign their proprietary TPMs to be XA-compliant and
suitable for use on UNIX systems.
Availability and Packaging
==========================
On what platforms is the XA Library available?
Oracle provides the XA interface with Oracle7 Server on all platforms that
support an XA-compliant TPM. Support for XA is included as part of the
Oracle7 Server distributed option and has no extra charge in and of itself.
Which version of XA does Oracle Server support?
Oracle7 Server supports the Common Application Environment (CAE) version of
XA, based on the specification published by X/Open in late 1991. It will
require that the TM also be at that level. This means Tuxedo /T version 4.2,
for example.
Oracle Server supports all required XA functions. There are some optional
features Oracle Server does not support, such as asynchronous operation.
None of those options affect application programming.

Transaction Processing Monitors (TPMs). The topics covered in this article are

The questions answered in part 2 provide additional detail to the information
provided in part 1.
Oracle Server Working with UNIX TP Monitors
===========================================
Do I need XA to use Oracle Server with TPMs? If I don't use it, what are
the consequences?
There are a number of real applications running today with Oracle Server and
TPMs but not using XA. To use a TPM with Oracle without using XA, the user
would write an "application server" program which could handle one or more
"services". For example, a server program might handle a service called
"debit_credit". The key requirement is that the entire transaction,
including the "commit work", must be executed within a single service. This
is the restriction which XA will remove, as we'll see later. Each
server process can serially handle requests on behalf of different clients.
Because a server process can handle many client processes, this can
reduce the total number of active processes on the server system,
thereby reducing resource requirements and possibly increasing overall
throughput.
When Oracle is used with a TPM in this mode, we call it an Oracle-managed
transaction since the transaction commit or rollback is done with a SQL
statement.
What is XA? How does XA help Oracle7 work with UNIX TPMs?
XA is an industry standard interface between a Transaction Manager and a
Resource Manager. A Resource Manager (RM) is an agent which
controls a shared, recoverable resource; such a resource can be
returned to a consistent state after a failure. For example, Oracle7 Server
is an RM and uses its redo log and undo segments to be able to do this.
A Transaction Manager (TM) manages a transaction including the
commitment protocol and, when necessary, the recovery after a failure.
Normally, Oracle Server acts as its own TM and manages its own commitment
and recovery. However, using a standards-based TM allows Oracle7 to
cooperate with other heterogeneous RMs in a single transaction.
The commonly used TPMs include a TM component for this purpose. In order to
use the TM capability of the TPM rather than Oracle7's own transaction
management, the application uses a transaction demarcation API (called TX)
provided by the TPM rather than the SQL transaction control statements (e.g.
"commit work"). For each TX call, the TM then instructs all RMs, by the
appropriate XA commands, to follow the two-phase commit protocol. We
call this a TPM-managed transaction.
The following picture shows these interfaces within a monolithic application
program model. This is the model most commonly described in the
DTP literature. We'll see later what the picture looks like when we add
Oracle7 and when we switch to a modularized client-server application
program model.

| (RMs) | |<-------->| (TM) |
| |--- | |
| |<----------->| |
---------------------- XA --------------------
Interface
The XA interface is an interface between two system components, not
an application program interface; the application program does
not write XA calls nor need to know the details of this interface.
The TM cannot do transaction coordination without the assistance of
the RM; the XA interface is used to get that assistance.
How does the DTP Model support client-server?
The above picture was actually simplified to make it easier to explain
the role of XA. In a true distributed transaction architecture, there
are multiple applications, each with an Application Program, a Resource
Manager, and a Transaction Manager. The applications communicate by
using a Communication Resource Manager. The CRM is generally provided
as a component of the TPM. It includes the transaction information when
it sends messages between applications, so that both applications can
act of behalf of the same transaction. The following picture
illustrates this:
Client Application
| AP |
||| | |
SQL ||| | TX | CRM
||V V | API
-||-- ----- |
| |V | | | V
--|-- |<---| | -----

| ----- ----- |
| |
| |

/ |
/ |
/ |
Most TP Monitor products include both a TM and a CRM, and also provide
additional functions such as task scheduling and workload monitoring.
What is XA+? What does Oracle need to do to comply with it?
XA+ is an interface that lets the X/Open model actually be distributed
because it allows a communication resource manager to tell a TM on the
server that a message from a client just came in for a particular
transaction. Oracle is not currently planning to provide an X/Open
communication resource manager, so we don't have any plans right now
to do XA+. Version 2 of the DTP model paper from X/Open describes it.
The status of the current XA+ specification is "snapshot".
When would I choose an Oracle-managed transaction vs a TPM-managed
transaction?
Oracle Server is very efficient at managing its own transactions. If
the TPM manages the transaction, in general some additional overhead
will be incurred.
The two main reasons a customer might prefer to use a TPM-managed
transaction are as follows:
(1) He may need to update RMs from different vendors. Experience so far
has been that the most common case is wanting to update both Oracle and
a TP Monitor managed resource such as a transactional queuing service
in the same transaction (see Article 3).
(2) He may want to use the model of having several different services in
a transaction, even to the same database. For example, the
"debit_credit" service could be split into a "debit" service and a
"credit" service. This is a very attractive model, but this type of
modularity does exact a performance penalty (see Article 4).
Can I get a version of XA to run on Oracle Server version 6?
No, the XA functionality uses two underlying mechanisms in the Oracle
Server which are not available in version 6: two-phase commit and
session switching. The upi calls for these functions do not not exist
in version 6.
When would I use XA vs Oracle7 to coordinate all-Oracle distributed
transactions?
Generally speaking, Oracle Server should be used to coordinate all-Oracle
distributed transactions. The main reason for using XA to coordinate
transactions would be that you want to use the TP Monitor service-oriented
architecture. That is, you would like to construct an application built of
services and service requests in order to benefit from the modularity and
workload control such an environment provides.
TP Monitor Application Architecture
===================================
What might a TP Monitor application look like?
Most TPM applications will consist of two more more programs, where
there are front-end client programs which request services and back-end
server programs which provide services. In this case, the TPM supplies an
additional capability which is transactional communication. The client
describes the boundaries of the transaction, through the use of the TX API,
and the TPM relays that transaction information to each requested service.
The overall application structure generally looks like the following in the
client-server model. The "TP Monitor Services" box is not necessarily a
process. It could be one or more processes, or just libraries coordinating
through shared memory. Each client process and server process could be on
a different machine. Normally, the application server processes would be
connected to their Oracle Server processes using the IPC driver; the TPM
would be used to deliver messages between application client processes on
one machine and application server processes on another. However, the
application server processes could also be connected with the standard
Oracle SQL*Net to shadow processes on different machines. This might be
useful if one of the databases was on a machine which did not support TPMs.

Application client programs might be written in C and be linked with
TPM libraries. Alternatively, they could use a screen painter product.
Application server programs would be written in Pro*C or Pro*COBOL and
be linked with TPM libraries, the normal Oracle7 user-side libraries
and libxa.a. The Oracle7 Server process is the regular Oracle7 executable.
More complicated application architectures can also be constructed. Most of
the TPMs allow a server to become a client of another service, so you can
involve additional servers.
Could I use Oracle7's Multi Threaded Server as the SQL*Net connection in the
previous picture?
Yes, but that will not be needed in many cases. For example, both
application server processes in the previous picture could talk to a
single Oracle7 Server process through the Multi Threaded Server in the
previous picture. However, since the TPM architecture typically reduces
the number of server processes, the reduction in processes using Multi
Threaded Server may be less significant than in an architecture without
TPMs. If the application will use database links, however, then MTS will
be required.
How do I write an Oracle TP Monitor application?
The actual API used to talk to the TPM varies between vendors, so you need
to get the documentation from the vendor. However, all have a way to
indicate where a transaction begins and ends and a way to send a request
and receive a response from a client to a server. Some use an RPC model,
some use a pseudo-RPC model, and some use a send/receive model. The TX API
described earlier is a subset of the TPM API as defined by each of
the TPM providers.
The client program and server program might look something like the
following examples. We h (such as Tuxedo's

We've been getting the following error for some time now.
An error occurred on line 105 while executing script 'MOM Backward Compatibility Service State Monitoring Script'
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
Description: The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable: 'GetObject'
One or more workflows were affected by this.
Workflow name: System.Mom.BackwardCompatibility.ServiceStateMonitoring
Instance name: server.domain.local
Instance ID: {INSTANCE}
Management group: GROUP
Unfortunately the instance in question has since been decommissioned and simply does not exist any more.
We're currently on a repeat count of over 350,000 and I would REALLY like to get it stopped. I've had a look at adding an override but that points to the management server rather than the instance itself.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks in advance!Hi Steven,
There are for option for us to override a monitor ot rule:
For all objects of class:
Class
When you select this option for your override, the override settings apply to all objects in the class at which the rule or monitor is targeted.
For a group
When you select this option for your override, the override settings apply only to members of the group. The rule or monitor without the override settings continues to apply to all objects in the targeted class except for those objects that are also members
of the group used for the override.
When you create a group, you save it to an unsealed management pack. However, an element in an unsealed management pack, such as an override, cannot reference an element in a different unsealed management pack, such as a group. If you are going to use a group
to limit the application of an override, you must either save the group to the same unsealed management pack as the override, or you must seal the management pack that contains the group.
For a specific object of class:
Class
When you select this option for your override, the override settings apply only to the specified object. The rule or monitor without the override settings continues to apply to all other objects in the targeted class.
For all objects of another class
When you select this option for your override, the override settings apply only to objects of a class other than the targeted class. The rule or monitor without the override settings continues to apply to all objects in the targeted class.
Did you try to override it for a specific object of class?

Hi Experts,
Is there a table which holds information about time lag of a info package run.
If yes which field of dat table gives this information ?
If there is no direct method, is there a indirect method to derive it from any table.
I badly need to get it from a table, coz I need to document this for lot of info packages, and if I do it manually it takes lot of efforts (going to "details" tab of every info package run and all dat stuff..)
Points would be awarded for sure.
Thanks,
MihirHi Mihir,
Check table: RSMONICTAB -- Monitor, Data Targets(Infocube/ODS) Table, request related info and
RSMONIPTAB -- InfoPackage for the monitor
and also you will get load details from statistics.

I created a monitoring script which would run from crontab....Would anyone tell me how I would export Oracle SID in crontab script instead of hard coded it. Thanks.
I do some simple checks for correct number of arguments using "if [[ $# -lt 1 ]]; then..."
This is very simple and doesn't confirm that the arguments are valid.
Example:
if [[ $# -lt 1 ]]; then
print "\n ERROR: You did not specify an Oracle SID."
print "\n Please enter which Oracle SID to import into. \n"
exit 1
else
echo "\n ORACLE_SID = $1 \n"
echo "Do you wish to continue? \n "

fiBut my point was to show a quick and easy solution to the OP for his purposes.
Using "echo $1 |. oraenv" passes the variable to oraenv and sets everything he needs for his purposes.
From the sounds of the OP's question, it didn't seem to have the skills to develop more complex scripts.
Personally, I like to use a special file that I keep updated on all servers.
I call the file 'localsids' and place it in the /var/opt/oracle directory.
I have a similar file called 'allsids', which contains a list of all sids on all servers for when I want to check all databases (e.g., such as for users having DBA role, or something like that).
Then, I check for validity (and can add and remove SIDs from the file at will, (depending on purposes such as blackouts).
I like using a loop for this purpose (SIDFILE='var/opt/oracle/localsids' cat $SIDFILE |while read SID... do....)
Example:
# ==================================================
# check input given against valid sids on this machine
# ==================================================
export SIDFILE='/var/opt/oracle/localsids'
SID=`grep $1 $SIDFILE`
if [ "$SID" = "$1" ]; then
print "\n \"$SID\" verified... \n"
else
print "\n ERROR... \"$1\" is not a valid SID for this machine. \n"
exit 1
fiI have a couple other variations as well.
I think it would be nice if OTN had a more appropriate forum for people like us who like scripting and/or what to share unix skills. -
Oracle JRockit Real Time 3.1.2 and weblogic?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jrockit/index.html". I go to the website, and find a software called: Oracle JRockit Real Time 3.1.2 for windows 64 bit. My question is: In order to let weblogic 9.2 works in windows 2003 R2 64 bit machine, SHOULD I MUST DOWNLOAD "Oracle JRockit Real Time 3.1.2 for windows 64 bit"? Or I don't need to download anything? Actually, I just download a file called jdk-6u18-windows-x64.exe. Please clear my question, thanks! One more thing, what is the functionality for Oracle JRockit Real Time 3.1.2? Is it a kind of JRE ?
Hi,
For more information on JRocket Real Time have a read of :- http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jrockit/jrrt/index.html
As far as I am aware you don't have to install the real time product you can installl the JRockit JVM and use that with Weblogic, I think newer version of JRocket come bundled with Real Time which is the JVM and monitoring and analysis tools. There are still standalone JRocket JVM installs available, you can get them from oracle edelivery.
JRocket is a JVM but optimized for use with Weblogic, so you should get better overall performance.
Cheers

Tablespace growth monitoring script
Hi,
I am done with tablespace growth monitoring script.
But I doesnot know how to configure it in WINDOWS to send alert MAIL.
Is there any utility for mail configuration in windows.
Please suggest any solution ASAP.
Regards,
ThiruIt is called OEM alerts. I think we can have configuration in oracle eneterprise manager grid control for automated warnings for tablespace growth. You just have to read below link :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b25159/monitor.htm#i1007180
Something near to :
Enterprise Manager Configuration--Management Services and Repository--Agent

Database uptime monitoring by either snmp or active monitor script anyone?
Hi,
Has anyone previously setup any type of active monitoring script through whats up gold or an snmp informant type of monitoring script to advise when a database is down or specific process is down?
An example would be like ORACLE_PKG1, and the process is named ora_smon_hrprd88.
This is what the HP-UX “ps” shows:
tpadb01:/# ps -ef | grep -i ora_smon
oracle 13207 1 0 Jan 1 ? 0:29 ora_smon_epprd88
oracle 13281 1 0 Jan 1 ? 1:31 ora_smon_hrprd88
oracle 13635 1 0 Jan 1 ? 1:03 ora_smon_fsprd84
oracle 3620 1 0 Jan 2 ? 0:18 ora_smon_mtprd04
oracle 14586 1 0 Jan 1 ? 0:23 ora_smon_mtprd05
oracle 15223 1 0 Jan 1 ? 0:26 ora_smon_inprd88
oracle 15879 1 0 Jan 1 ? 0:25 ora_smon_epsal88
oracle 16769 1 0 Jan 1 ? 0:52 ora_smon_hrsal88
root 17976 22609 0 10:46:39 ttyp2 0:00 grep -i ora_smon
tpadb01:/#
Not sure if the extra info helps, but you never know. We can set it up to send us database up alerts, but the problem I have is when the listener service is down I can't get my script to finish no matter how I change the values of my script around. I can provide my script if that would help as well. If someone has already done this and is willing to share great!
HarveyI would suggest you install OEM Grid Control to monitor your databases. For basic monitoring function it's free. OEM GC works great, it's a little overweight though. It's also use SNMP.
Or you can choose any third party tool like
