Oracle Data Protection

Can someone please point me in the right direction. Is there a difference between Tivoli Data Protection, Tivoli Storage Manager, and Oracle Data Protection. What I need to figure out what I need to get RMAN working with TDP. The environment is AIX R2 and Oracle 10g

In short you need Data Protection for Oracle and Tivoli Storage Manager.
Long explanation can be found in http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/SG244877.html section "19.5.3 Using RMAN and Data Protection for Oracle "
>
Data Protection for Oracle does not provide a command line or GUI interface to manage backups and recovery of an Oracle database - instead, Data Protection acts as an interface between the RMAN API and the Tivoli Storage Manager API. In other words, it sends the data between these components, as shown in Figure 19-10. The RMAN command line or GUI interface is used to perform backup or database recovery.
When Data Protection for Oracle is configured, all administrative commands (such as backup and recovery) take place entirely under RMAN control, so the Oracle DBA does not need to know Tivoli Storage Manager commands. RMAN settings or commands are also used to remove expired backups from Tivoli Storage Manager storage. This is because expiration of Oracle backups are not governed by Tivoli Storage Manager policy domain settings of the client. The Oracle objects are always stored in a backup copy group using a unique name, which eliminates the retention and versioning values in your backup copy group, as the Oracle objects are always considered as active from the Tivoli Storage Manager perspective.
Data Protection for Oracle cannot be used to back up or restore non-database data, such as history files or other system configuration files. You should use the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client to back up these files.

RE: Oracle DATE data format conversion..

<C.M> Motta's question about dates and oracle>
Dealing with dates and Oracle is somewhat of a nuisance. Oracle is very
particular about how date strings are formatted, and if you get it wrong,
you get the (unhelpful) message that C.M. Motta showed us. However, if
you pass a DateTimeData to Oracle, Forte' does the right formatting for you.
If you do need to format the date prior to interacting with Oracle, use the
following format:
dd-mmm-yy <time component>
You can change the default format, but it is not easy.
If you customise Express generated code that interacts with an Oracle
database, again, make sure that you pass a DateTimeData, and not the
.TextValue.
Good luck!

Cheers:
Most likely what is happening is that you are using the default date
format of Oracle, and you are sending a four-character year. As follows:
SQL> insert into jimbo values ('01-dec-1997')
2 /
insert into jimbo values ('01-dec-1997')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire inputstring
>
Oracle defaults to a format of 'dd-MON-yy'
You can either truncate the year, or manipulate the date to match the standard
database as follows:
insert into jimbo values (to_Date('01-jan-1997', 'DD-MON-YYYY'))
\jimbo

Schema export via Oracle data pump with Database Vault enabled question

Hi,
I have installed and configured Database Vault on an Oracle 11g-r2-11.2.0.3 to protect a specific schema (SCHEMA_NAME) via a realm. I have followed the following doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/security/twp-databasevault-dba-bestpractices-199882.pdf
to ensure that the sys and the system user has sufficient rights to complete a schedule Oracle data pump export operation.
I.e. I have granted to sys and system the following:
execute dvsys.dbms_macadm.authorize_scheduler_user('sys','SCHEMA_NAME');
execute dvsys.dbms_macadm.authorize_scheduler_user('system','SCHEMA_NAME');
execute dvsys.dbms_macadm.authorize_datapump_user('sys','SCHEMA_NAME');
execute dvsys.dbms_macadm.authorize_datapump_user('system','SCHEMA_NAME');
I have also create a second realm on the same schema (SCHEMA_NAME) to allow sys and system to maintain indexes for real-protected tables, To allow a sys and system to maintain indexes for realm-protected tables. This separate realm was created for all their index types: Index, Index Partition, and Indextype, sys and system have been authorized as OWNER to this realm.
However, when I try and complete an Oracle Data Pump export operation on the schema, I get two errors directly after the following line displayed in the export log:
Processing object type SCHEMA_EXPORT/TABLE/INDEX/DOMAIN_INDEX/INDEX:
ORA-39127: unexpected error from call to export_string :=SYS.DBMS_TRANSFORM_EXIMP.INSTANCE_INFO_EXP('AQ$_MGMT_NOTIFY_QTABLE_S','SYSMAN',1,1,'11.02.00.00.00',newblock)

The export is completed but with this errors.
Any help, suggestions, pointers, etc actually anything will be very welcome at this stage.
Thank you

Hi Srini,
Thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately after having followed the instructions of the DOC I am still getting the same errors ?
none the less thank you for your input.
I was also wondering if someone could tell me how to move this thread to the Database Security area of the forum, as I feel I may have posted the thread in the wrong place as it appears to be a Database Vault issue and not an imp/exp problem. ?

Oracle Data Guard 9i

This is a quote from an Oracle publication on Oracle Data Guard 9i.
"Oracle Data Guard's new SQL Apply feature creates a "logical standby" that enables continuous access to a working copy of your primary database. With SQL Apply, the standby database is continuously available for reporting and other operations, while always at-the-ready for unplanned failovers. Data Guard provides log shipping, remote mirroring, zero-data-loss disaster protection, and a single point of control and automation. "
My question is: Is the standby database open in read-write or read-only mode?
If, its only read, is there ANY other way read-write version of a database could be created at a remote site besides:
a) Complete copying - duplicate database at remote site open in read-write.
b) Distributed database - replication - remote users access their own version and the two keep themselves in sync.
c) Parallel server - one database - two instances.

Data Guard is available for Linux (within Oracle9i).
It's a tool to make it much more easier to create a standby
database, but I don't think it's required!
Regards,
Thomas.
Is Oracle 9i data guard for Linux available??
Well, my real question is, I need to setup 9i standby database
on Linux. Do I need data guard installed in order to setup
standby database??

Difference between oracle Data Guard and Replication

Hello Friends,
I would like to know the main difference between oracle replication and data guard. Theoretically both are same then where is the difference. Can replication or dataguard be configured in a single PC.
Thanks

Dataguard :
Oracle Data Guard is primarily for high availability, data protection, and disaster recovery. An Oracle Data Guard Standby instance provides transactionally consistent copies of the production database, in the event of an unplanned outage or instance maintenance the Data Guard Primary Role Standby Role can be switched so the Standby instance can provide Production services.
Replication :
Oracle Advanced Replication and Oracle Streams are Oracle's solution for replicating data and internal structures to remote databases. Advanced Replication is primarily trigger based where Streams is a rule/handler based replication process and considerably more efficient and less error prone than Advanced Replication

Well, I am a novice, but I think all of the posts have hit on something. The web fron end application was built with a combination of Visual basic and Visual Studio 2003. My one question now that the curiosity has been settled about why the table is there is now, when and how does it actually get created. I am trying to retrace the steps of the original developers. i.e, was the table automatically created, once the Development software attached to the database, and did the database realize, "hey a .net development program is trying to access me", let me create the MICROSOFTDTPROPERTIES Table.
because another utility table they seem to have is something called GTMBAVERSION. It also only has one row, and it has columns called
Major, Minor, Revision, and Versiondate
The data in those columns, respectivley are 3, 0, 1, 12/5/2003 3:26:49 PM
Now two of the "user accounts" within the tables are GTMBA, and GTMSM. In terms of owners, those are the two owners of those two tables.
Inside of the .net program, the gtmsm account is used to make the actual connection to the database.

Managed Provider: The data protection operation was unsuccessful.

We just attempted to deploy a new .net 4 web application with the beta managed provider. When attempting to open a new connection, we hit this exception:
The data protection operation was unsuccessful. This may have been caused by not having the user profile loaded for the current thread's user context, which may be the case when the thread is impersonating.
Is there an app pool setting in IIS that we need to change to get this to work? Locally it works fine, so I'm assuming it's some type of permissions issue.

I could provide you with a test case, but honestly it's as simple as it gets - just a blank web forms app that includes the managed provider! Here is the code I have to open the connection:
using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data;
using Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client;
public class CatalogDB : IDisposable
private readonly OracleConnection _conn;
private OracleCommand _oCmd;
private OracleDataAdapter _oDA;
private DataTable _dt;
public CatalogDB()
string connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["connCBSProd"].ConnectionString;
_conn = new OracleConnection(connString);
_conn.Open(); // EXCEPTION THROWN HERE
Could this be a medium trust issue? The server we're deploying to is also manged by plesk, so there is a virtual guarantee that there is some non-standard setting applied.

Windows 7 Pro x64 does not detect HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor (accelerometer)

Hello there.
I installed win7pro x64 yesterday and already came across a serious problem that makes my way of using the notebook a bit dangerous for my precious data.
When I was working on HP-branded Vista 32bit (from recovery partition etc), there was a device called HP Mobile Data Protection Sensor together with HP ProtectSmart (or Protect Smart) software. In other words, the HDD accelerometer that parks HDD's heads when it "feels" it's falling or something, and software for it. It worked brilliantly.
Until I decided to install Win7... Then, surprisingly after a driver-install failure and taking a look at the Device Manager I noticed that there's no such device! I checked it three times, looked at every device's property, even reinstalled Vista 32bit back - it showed again - and installed Win7 - not detected again. There's nothing that has Device ID's HPQ004! I remember people saying that after fresh Windows install, there were 6 unknown devices or more. I had only 5. [Fingerprint device, 3x MemCard reader and IR receiver]. There was no accelerometer... Also, when I try to install the drivers/software, the windows pops up:
ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection: with text Property.AccelerometerNotPresent
and then another one saying something like Features were not installed because of installation error or unsupported feature.
So now I'm stuck with a notebook that is unsafe to travel with, because the disk is no longer protected
I already installed all the drivers available from HP page, even downloaded newest ones from Intel (chipset) etc.
Is there a solution to this? Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Windows 7 is officially out and available as RTM version, not beta, so I think HP should open support for it and release new drivers for win7! And most importantly, fix this issue ...
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well, thanks to myself, I fixed it. After some thinking I remembered that ACPI = BIOS-related. It appears that there is a problem with the newest (F16) BIOS.
F.16 changelog is below:
Version: F.16 A (26 May 2009) Fixes
Updates the Intel MRC Code to version 2.7.
Updates the Intel AHCI OP ROM to version iSrc 1.20_E.0012 11252008.
Updates the BIOS to support Microsoft Windows Vista Operating Systems with Service Pack 2 (SP2).
I went back to version F.14 and... boom! New (unknown) device found And guess what, it's ACPI/HPQ0004... So now my HDD is protected again ^^ yay!
I don't know which of these changes cause that, but it looks that that can be fixed.
I'll go back to F.16 again to see if the device will disappear and then contact HP support on that case.
EDIT: Well, F.16 breaks things again, so it's definetely a BIOS problem. Thanks for... umm... well... at least spread the word, guys I hope this helps if someone has the same problem.

I created a simple Excel 2013 PPIV workbook with an oracle data source and uploaded that to SharePoint 2013, but no change in the results - still getting the above error.
What is this error? We have installed Oracle client (64-bit, since we use 64-bit Excel and Sp is also 64-bit) on SSAS PPIV Server and SharePoint Content DB Server. Do we need
to install it anywhere else?
Thanks,
Sonal

Hi Sonal,
To use PowerPivot for SharePoint on SharePoint 2013, it is required to install PowerPivot for SharePoint with the Slipstream version of SQL Server 2012 SP1. If you install SQL Server 2012 and then use the upgrade version of SQL Server 2012 SP1 to upgrade,
the environment will not support SharePoint 2013.
I would suggest you refer to the following articles:
Install SQL Server BI Features with SharePoint 2013 (SQL Server 2012 SP1):

Performance issue with Oracle data source

Hi all,
I've a rather strange problem that I'm stuck on need some assistance on.
I have a rules file which drags data in via an SQL data source thats an Oracle server. If I cut/paste the 3 sections of "select" "from" and "where" into SQL-Developer and run the query, it takes less than 1 second to complete. When I run the "load data" with this rule file or even use the "Retrieve" with the rules file edit, it takes up to an hour to complete/retrieve the data.
The table in question being used has millions of rows and I'm using one of the indexed fields to retrieve the data. It's as if the Essbase/Rule file is ognoring the index, or I have a config issue with the ODBC settings on the server that is causing the problem.
ODBC.INI file entry for the Oracle server as follows (changed any sensitive info to xxx or 999).

One other thing that I've seen is that if your Oracle data source and Essbase server are in different geographic locations, you can get some delay when it retrieves data over the WAN. I guess there is some handshaking going on when passing the data from Oracle to Essbase (either by record or groups of records) that is slowed WAY down over the WAN.
Our solution to this was remove teh query out of the load rule, run it via SQL+ on a command line at the geographic location where the Oracle database is, then ftp the resulting file to where the Essbase server is.
With upwards of 6 million records being retrieved, it took around 4 hours in the load rule, but running the query via command line took 10 minutes, then the ftp took less than 5.
