Oracle Database Change Notification Logs

We use Oracle's database change notification feature to implement a local cache in our application server. Oracle version - Standard edition 11.2.0.3.
There are some use cases where the cache is not updated. Probably this could be because the registration of the application server is somehow deleted. To investigate these issues, I would like to know on how can I enable oracle logs for the below events
1. Registration and un-registration for DCN.
2. Notification sent from the oracle side.
Kindly let me know how to enable oracle logs.
Thanks!

Troubleshooting
If you have created a registration and seem to not receive notifications when the underlying tables are changed, please check the following.
•Is the job_queue_processes parameter set to a non-zero value? This parameter needs to be configured to a non-zero value in order to receive PL/SQL notifications via the handler.
•Are the registrations being created as a non-SYS user?
•If you are attempting DML changes on the registered object, are you COMMITing the transaction? Please note that the notifications are transactional and will be generated when the transaction COMMITs.
•It maybe possible that there are run-time errors during the execution of the PL/SQL callback due to implementation errors. If so, they would be logged to the trace file of the JOBQ process that attempts to execute the procedure. The trace file would be usually named <ORACLE_SID>j*<PID>.trc. '
For example, if the ORACLE_SID is 'dbs1' and the process is 12483, the trace file might be named 'dbs1_j000_12483.trc.
Suppose a registration is created with 'chnf_callback as the notification handler and with registration_id 100. Let us suppose the user forgets to define the chnf_callback procedure. Then the JOBQ trace file might contain a message of the following form.
Runtime error during execution of PL/SQL cbk chnf_callback for reg CHNF100
Error in PLSQL notification of msgid:
Queue :
Consumer Name :
PLSQL function :chnf_callback
Exception Occured, Error msg:

ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00201: identifier 'CHNF_CALLBACK' must be declared

Issue in Oracle 11g Database Change Notification for Java application

Hi,
I am trying to use Oracle's Database Change Notification in Java application.
I followed the sample application (+DBChangeNotification.java+ , Example 29-2), provided in the following link:
+[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/java.111/b31224/dbmgmnt.htm#CHDEJECF]+
I am able to see that the Registration of the SQL query is successful.
But, when I do changes to the table registered, notifications are not received in the Listener class (+DCNDemoListener.java+).
Ideally, the method DCNDemoListener.onDatabaseChangeNotification() should be invoked on any insert/update to the registered table. But this method is not getting invoked.
The execution has stopped in the following line of DBChangeNotification.java Class.
this.wait();
+==> The application was WAITing indefinitely in this line, as the NOTIFY() from DCNDemoListener.java was not executed.+
I am using VPN to connect to Oracel server. Remote Oracle Server is protected my firewall. Is this the reason for not sending the notifications from Oracle server?
The version of software used are given below:
Oracle Client - Oracle 11.1.0
JDK - 1.6
Oracle JDBC Driver - ojdbc6.jar
Can someone help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Sam

Hi,
I am having similar issue. Where you able to resolve it.
I am also using the same example you were using.
I am using the following version.

Step 3 :Query “select from DBA_CHANGE_NOTIFICATION_REGS”*
I manage to get the notification for insert record appear.
Step 4: Run update query:
update employees set salary = salary + 10 where employee_id = 149;
commit;
Step 5: Re-run the “select from DBA_CHANGE_NOTIFICATION_REGS”*
There is no rows returned.
Can anyone help me on this ? how to trace why the updates notification is not trigger ?

Database Change Notification and TopLink Cache Invalidation

Has someone succeeed in implementing the How-to Database Change Notification and TopLink Cache Invalidation.
I have corrected some document errata about the pl/sql content and I manage to have messages in the 'notify_queue'.
I obtain the Topic in Java from this queue.
But the TopicSuscriber instances do not receive any message. Is there something to have in mind to make it work ?

Reviving this thread again...
I am using DCN feature to build a middle-tier cache. I know oracle has problem sending physical rowid in case of 'Index Organized Table', however, in normal table also its not able to send proper rowid.
e.g, I have 2 records in Table A with rowid AAARIUAAGAAAV/uABw and AAARIUAAGAAAV/pAAX.
I have updated both the records. Strangely for the first record, oracle is sending INVALID rowid, although for the second record its sending the valid one.
Following is the output:
Row 1: (Wrong rowid being sent, AAARIUAAGAAAV/uABw is replaced with AAARIUAAGAAAXDCAAr)
Connection information : local=localhost.localdomain/127.0.0.1:47633, remote=localhost.localdomain/127.0.0.1:2278
Registration ID         : 2102
Notification version    : 1
Event type              : OBJCHANGE
Database name           : <sid>
Table Change Description (length=1)
    operation=[UPDATE], tableName=<table_name>, objectNumber=70164
    Row Change Description (length=1):
      ROW: operation=UPDATE, ROWID=AAARIUAAGAAAXDCAAr
Row 2: (Right rowid being sent, AAARIUAAGAAAV/pAAX)
Connection information : local=localhost.localdomain/127.0.0.1:47633, remote=localhost.localdomain/127.0.0.1:2278

    operation=[UPDATE], tableName=<table_name>, objectNumber=70164

Any idea ?

Using Database Change Notification instead of After Insert Trigger

Hello guys! I have an after insert trigger that calls a procedure, which in turn is doing an update or insert on another table. Due to mutating table errors I declared the trigger and procedure as autonomously transactional. The problem is, that old values of my main tables are inserted into the subtable since the after insert/update trigger is fired before the commit.
My question is how can I solve that and how could I use the change notification package to call my procedure? I now that this notification is only started after a DML/DDL action has been commited on a table.
If you could show me how to carry out the following code with a Database Change Notification I'd be delighted. Furthermore I need to know if it suffices to set up this notification only once or for each client seperately?
Many thanks for your help and expertise!

Sebastian

How to use the database change notification event with an AppModule Child ?

hi,
I try to do the same stuff that this "How To" : [http://niallcblogs.blogspot.com/2009/06/auto-refreshing-adf-chart-objects-in.html].
This example works fine, but I want an Application Module Root which contains the Application Module which contains the VO where there is the method processDatabaseChangeNotification.
I have trying all the configuration possible of AppModuleRoot and AppModuleChild: Shared/Local, Local/Shared and even Local/Local ... but nothing works ...
Can you tell me if possible, and if so ... how?
thanks !
(I use jdev11g)

I don't find my reponse in the documentation....
I have an AM Child in an AM Root like that :
<AppModuleUsage
Name="AppModuleChild"
FullName="model.AppModuleChild"
ConfigurationName="model.AppModuleChildShared"
SharedScope="2" />
My AM Root is Shared in the file "DataBinding.cpx" :
<BC4JDataControl id="AppModuleRootDataControl" Package="model"
FactoryClass="oracle.adf.model.bc4j.DataControlFactoryImpl"
SupportsTransactions="true" SupportsFindMode="true"
SupportsRangesize="true" SupportsResetState="true"
SupportsSortCollection="true"

Exception thrown while regestring for database change notification

hi all,
i have taken sample code from docs for DCN
but im not able to register DCN,its throwing
ORA-29973: Unsupported query or operation during change notification registration
can any one please help me out in this.

I'm not a DBA. So, I don't know all the tools that are available to monitor structural DB changes such as this one. Change Notification's purpose is to monitor user schema data changes, not Oracle system data changes.
I'm guessing that there are DBA tools to monitor trigger code changes, perhaps in OEM. You may want to pose this question on a DB server or OEM discussion forum to see if someone knowledgeable on DB management can answer. It's unlikely there are too many DBA-types monitoring the ODP.NET discussion forum.

Implementing SQL Plan Management on Oracle Database 11.2.0.2

Oracle Linux 5 update 10 (UEK)

Database servicing Siebel CRM 8.1.1.1 Application that uses bind peeking.
Siebel CRM soon to be version 8.1.1.11
There are a few bugs for SQL Plan Management (SPM) on 11.2.0.2 (see below). The slowness and non-peeked binds issues seem very problematic. I've seen a few bloggers recommend to not use SPM unless your at Oracle Database 12c. Several of the bugs seemed to be fixed in 11.2.0.3 but we don't have any plans to move to 11.2.0.3 since we'll most likely be at 12.1.0.x in 7 months. Any recommendation from the community on whether I should capture and use SQL Plan Management with 11.2.0.2? Why, why not? If there's other relevant information needed, let me know.

Does BAM works with only Oracle database at the backend.

Hi, I was wondering if Oracle Bussiness Activity Monitor(BAM) implemented within ADF application works with Oracle database as Oracle database is one of the very few databases supporting Database Change Notification? Or can it be implemented using MySQL database etc.
Thanks!

AFAIK only Oracle db supports Database Change Notification.

Change notifications

hey,
I'm using Oracle database express edition 10.2. Will i be able to receive database change notifications Using this database?
I've shared the application module and set the VO auto refresh true so that I will be able to identify changes in the database
thanx

Hi,
yes you can. You need to grant database change notification privilege to the schema that the AM connects to.
e.g. as Sys to grant this t teh HR schema
grant change notification to HR;

Change Notification issue - Deletе and Update - there is no difference

Hi guys. I have an issue with change notification in ODP. There is not difference between Update and Delete, for these two actions in ODP. ODP says 'Update' in OracleNotificationEventArgs.Info for both Update event and Delete event.
I'm using ODP.NET 11g (11.1.0.6.20) with Oracle Database 10g (10.2.0.1.0), and example that provide Oracle http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-winsupp/win06odp.html
When I register same query for Database Change Notification on server side by using pl/sql, I receive correct change status in registered pl/sql callback, i.e. for delete - delete, for update - update.
Why ODP does not differ Update and Delete events?

Hello,
I've used ODP.NET (11.1.0.6.20) and Oracle Database 10g XE (10.2.0.1.0) and have been unable to reproduce the behavior you are seeing.
Are you able to post a small testcase that reproduces for you?

Truncated ROWID received from change notification.

I am having a problem with getting change notification from a Index Organized Table(IOT).
The length of ROWID is 18 character bytes in case of regular heap tables. But, in case of IOTs, the length of ROWIDs depend on the size of primary key and therefore is larger than 18 bytes.
The ROWID that I getting from database change notification OracleNotificationEventArgs.Details is only 18 bytes from a IOT. It is missing the additional bytes at the end. As a result, the ROWID is useless in querying the table.
Is this a limitation on the ODP? Is ODP for change notification not supported for IOT. Any help in solving this would be appreciated.
Thanks,

What commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR*Tools

Can somebody please help me urgently to know what are the commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR TOOLS.Also specifythe commands in detail which can be used for taking backups of oracle database ,Online Redo log files in databse using BRBACK tool,Archiving of offline, redo log files using BRARCHIVE, and Restoring a Database using BRRESTORE tool Commands(Plese specify the commands with their Syntax used).Also specify the commands with their Syntax which are used for taking backup of oracle database(online,Offline redo log files) into Tapedrives using BRTOOLS commands.
Thanking You for helping (in advance).

Dear Ashish,
BRBACKUP / BRARCHIVE calls the operating system command to copy the files.
Simple approach to get the commands is as follows.
1. Set the BR_TRACE (as given in the SAP note 29321) and run the command for which you need to know the OS / SQL commands.
2. This will generate the log file with the trace information. This trace has the information of the commands used by the job you have run.
Hope this helps.

Madhukar

Change Notification not working on Oracle 11.2.0.2.0 but ok with 11.2.0.1.0

Hello together,
we have an .Net application which implements the Change Notification using ODP.NET.
On the customer site all worked well on the development and test environment connected to an Oracle database version 11.2.0.1.0. After setup of the production environment (Oracle 11.2.0.2.0 on another server) the change notification didn't work anymore.
The notifications are registered properly, but the event handles don't receive the change events.
It was checked, if all ports are open, firewall etc. and no hint from this side was found, why it should not work.
Then we recompiled the .Net application with references set to the new version of ODP.NET (11.2.0.2.1) - also without success.
After all, a second database was installed in the production environment, but now version 11.2.0.1.0 (same version as in development and test environment), and if connected to this database the change notification worked as expected.
Can anybody give me a hint, what might be the reason for not receiving change notification events on Oracle 11.2.0.2.0 ?
Thanks a lot and best regards
hattl

This is a DB bug, not an ODP.NET bug. If it were documented anywhere, it would be in the DB README. This problem affects anyone using change notification on a DB on any platform. This is not a problem specific to ODP.NET.
I suspect this issue is not documented since it was diagnosed after 11.2.0.2 became available. If you wish to track a bug, you can log into My Oracle Support and view the bug log. I viewed the bug log myself and the problem has been resolved. It's just waiting for the 11.2.0.3 patchset to be released.
If your organization needs this fix sooner than the second half of this year, let me know. I'll ask Oracle Support if they can include this fix in a bundled patch or one-off.
