Oracle Database sizing spreadsheet

Hello Guys:
I am badly in need of the database sizing template for one of the projects. Can any one share a copy?
Regards,
BMP

Lets see what's missing:
1. A product name
2. A product edition and version
3. Any indication of how the database will be used ...for example the name of an application
4. Business rules related to the storage of archived redo logs, flashback logs, and backups
5. etc. etc. etc.
None of which is contained in any spreadsheet I have ever seen.
I suspect what you are referring to is the old Oracle Financials version 10 spreadsheet which I have not seen in a decade.

Applications Database Sizing Spreadsheet

Does anyone know where online I can get a copy of the database sizing spreadsheet sizr10.wk1? I need to develop a proposal for a client and need to size an applications/database installation.
Thanks

Resource estimation/Sizing (i.e CPU and Memory) for Oracle database servers

Hi,
I have came across one of the requirement of Oracle database server sizing in terms of CPU and Memory requirement. Has anybody metalink notes or white paper to have basic estimation or calculation for resources (i.e CPU and RAM) on based of database size, number of concurrent connections/sessions and/or number of transactions.
I have searched lot on metalink but failed to have such, will be great help if anybody has idea on this. I'm damn sure it has to be, because to start with implementation of IT infrastructure one has to do estimation of resources aligned with IT budget.
Thanks in advance.
Mehul.

You could start the other way around, if you already have a server is it sufficient for the database you want to run on it? Is there sufficient memory? Is it solely a database server (not shared)? How fast are the disks - SAN/RAID/local disk? Does it have the networking capacity (100mbps, gigabit)? How many CPUs, will there be intensive SQL? How does Oracle licensing fit into it? What type of application that will run on the database - OLTP or OLAP?
If you don't know if there is sufficient memory/CPU then profile the application based on what everyone expects, again, start with OLTP or OLAP and work your way down to the types of queries/jobs that will be run, number of concurrent users and what performance you expect/require. For an OLAP application you may want the fastest disks possible, multiple CPUs and a large SGA and PGA (2-4GB PGA?), pay a little extra for parallel server and partitioning in license fees.
This is just the start of an investigation, then you can work out what fits into your budget.

Server Sizing For Oracle Database

Hi All,
I need a server sizing for the below mentioned architecture:
This application is basically for logistics company which we are planing to host it centrally with two server's one server for application and one for oracle database along with DR site (Other Location). There are four locations and each location will have 20 users who are going to access this application (20 x 4= 80 Users). We are using MPLS network of 35 mbps bandwidth.
1. Application server: Windows server 2008 R2
2. Database Server: Windows server 2008 R2, Oracle 11g r2
I need a server sizing documents.
Thanks........

Thanks........I'd seriously reconsider hosting Oracle db on Windows. Obviously there are many, many shops that do. And obviously it is often a case of the fact that they do not have (and choose to not acquire) expertise in Linux. But I've been in IT for 30+ years and have worked on IBM S-370 and its variants and descendents, Windows since v3, DEC VMS, IBM OS/2, Solaris, AIX, HPUX, and Oracle Linux. The first Oracle database I ever created was on Windows 3.11 and at that point I had never seen *nix. Now I am in a position to state that Windows is the worst excuse of an operating system of any I have ever used. I am constantly amazed/amused by how often (at least once a month on schedule, plus unplanned times) that our Windows SA has to send out a notice that he is re-booting his servers. I can't remember the last time we had to reboot a Linux server ( I have 4 of them)
Yes, I'm biased away from Windows, but that bias comes from experience. Hardly a day goes by that I don't see something that causes me to say to whoever is in earshot "have I told you how much I hate Windows?"I was going to refrain from commenting on that, as I assumed they're a Windows shop and aren't open to any other OS (but my assumption could be incorrect).
I haven't been working in IT for as long as many of the folks around here, only about 10 years. I'm a former system admin that maintained both Linux and Windows servers, but my focus was on Windows. In the right hands, Windows can be rock solid. If a system admin has to reboot Windows servers often, he is most likely doing something wrong, or is rebooting for security updates. It's never as simple as "Windows Sucks," or "Linux Sucks;" it all depends on who's running the system (again, in my opinion).
I have seen some windows servers run uninterrupted for so long no one could remember the admin password. But more often memory leaks and the "weekly update" (replacing last weeks bugs with this weeks) is the culprit.
Yes, it really is sad how often you have to reboot for updates if you want to keep your system current. Mind you, it's better to have the fixes then to not have them (maybe). I rebooted my servers about once every month at my old place... which is not that bad.
With that said, in my experience, Oracle on Windows is a major pain. It takes me much longer to do anything. Once you get proficient with a CLI like the bash shell, the Windows GUI can't compare.Agreed. One of my many complaints about Windows is the poor excuse of a shell processor. I'm pretty proficient in command line scripting, but still cringe when I have to do it. Practically every line of code I write for a command script is accompanied by the remark "this is so lame compared to what I could do with a shell script". Same for vi vs. notepad. But my real problem is the memory leaks and the registry. I'm fairly comfortable hacking certain areas of the registry, but the need to and the arcane linkages between different areas of the registry and how they influence 'process environment' remains a mystery to all but a tiny minority of admins. Compare to *nix where everything is well documented and "knowable".
One (of many) anecdotal experiences, this with my personal Win7 laptop. One time it crashed and refused to reboot. A bit of a google search turned up some arcane keystroke sequence to put it into some sort of recovery mode on bootup .. similar to getting into the bios, but the keystroke sequence was much more complex .. it may have involved standing on one foot while entering the sequence. Anyway, it entered a recovery process I've never seen before or since and repaired everything. My first thought was "hey, that was pretty cool." Then my second thought was 'but only Windows would need such a facility.
Bottom line? To paraphrase a famous Tom Hanks character, "My momma always said Windows was like a box of chocolates. You never know just what you'll get."Haha... I like that one. Yes, the registry is definitely horrible. It's amazing to me that a single point of failure was Microsoft's answer to INI files.
I think Windows and nix have their places. Server work definitely seems more productive to me in a nix environment, but I think I'd jump off a cliff if I had to use it as my desktop environment day-in-day-out. The other problem is application lock-down; I can't blame the OS for that, but it's a reality... and using virtualization to run those applications seems to defeat the point to me.

APEX database sizing methods and spreadsheets

APEX database sizing methods and spreadsheets

Yes I asking how much space the APEX 3.2 framework requires as well as yes to how much space to allocate for your particular application that happens to be implemented in APEX. I have 1 word form that contains 10 fields that are filled in by users currenlty now. So far, I have 50 of these completed (same form) and would like to create an APEX application supported by a database that can initially contain this data in one table once migrated and be able to hold more of this data as the new online system is used. Therefore, are any sizing methods, for example, function points or excel macros, etc...that can be used to predict potential database sizes needed based on an increase in data volume.
I ask this because currently APEX 3.2 uses Oracle Database Express Edition (XE). Oracle Database XE can address only 1GB of RAM. This limitation mainly affects how many users can access the database concurrently and how well it perform but APEX can run against a full 10g or 11g install of Database as well as XE, and you can upgrade rather nicely from XE to full DB if your needs demand

Need to database sizing

Hi ,
Can any one help me to know, how to do database sizing for oracle database.
If database sizing is differed from version than i want to know for 9i,10g and 11.5.10.2 application.
I dont have basic knowledge for doing database sizing. please tell me know because i have assigned a project on this in my company?
Thanks a lot in advance

The version of the database is irrelevant. Sizing is solely a function of the application.
In your case, since you have one or more applications in the Oracle eBusiness Suite, there is almost certainly a sizing spreadsheet floating around. If you post this question over in the forum for the particular application(s) you are using, someone over there may be able to give you some pointers. I would also strongly suspect that a Metalink search that included the particular application(s) you're using would be beneficial.

Installation error message for Oracle Database software for version 10g

Would someone be able to advise why I keep getting the following error message whilst installing Oracle trial Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition? Link listed below : -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
Error message "Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp"
Below is the 12 steps that I go through, please advise what I'm doing wrong : -
1. (Operations) default is Create a database
2. (Database templetes) default is general purpose
3. (Database Identification) projemp.local for Global database name & projemp for SID
4. (Management options) default is "Configure the database with Enterprise manager, also the options button has been clicked for "Use database control for database management"
5. (Database Credentials) the options button has been clicked for "Use the same password for all accounts" so I've set up a new password, was that correct?
6. (Storage options) the options button is clicked for "File System - use the file system for database storage.
7. (Database file locations) the options button is clicked for "Use database file locations for template" Is this option correct? Other options are Use common location for all database files or use Oracle-managed files?
8. (Recovery configuration) the options button is clicked for "Specify flash recovery area
9. (Database content) nothing has been selected, the only option is "Sample schemas" should that be clicked?
10. (Initialization parameters) the options button is clicked for "Typical- allocate memory as a % of the total physical memory
11. (Database storage) no options available
12. (Creation options) the options button has been selected for "Create Database"
Click finish
I then get a screen stating General purpose, click OK then I get the following error message as stated at the start of this e-mail ""Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp".

Database Configuration Assistant does not remove software. It can remove a database. As I mentioned before, there is a difference between the software and the objects that software manages. Deleting an Excel spreadsheet is not the same as deleting Microsoft Office. Deleting an Oracle database with Database configuration assistant is not the same as removing the Oracle software.

Now that oracle is not on my task bar I've unzipped the link below, clicked on db, Disk1, setup, changed the Database password (is that correct?) install and I get the following error message "Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed<<<<<
Problem: The install has detected that the primary IP address of the system is DHCP-assigned.
Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned IP addresses;
However, before you can do this, you must configure the Microsoft LoopBack Adaptor to be the primary network adapter on the system. See the installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP."
So what did you do with the above error message? Did you follow up on what it said? Did you read the very fine Installation Guide that comes with the software? Did you read the section on networking considerations where it discussed DHCP assigned addresses and installing the loopback adapter?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
Ok, that link takes us to the download page, which does not shed any light at all on your problems
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit operating system, and my computer is saying I have 142 GB free space.
If you read the installation manual that came with the downloaded software, you'd have seen in the prerequisites that Home editions of Windows are NOT listed as supported platforms, whereas Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions specifically ARE listed as supportd.
Hope this is some help.And
I'm not to clever on computers so would you be able to advise how I get to the command window to issue the SET command please?
Also I've no idea what OS user I am, I'm taking an on-line Oracle course and been advised to install "Oracle Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition"
How do I find out if I'm part of an Administrator, ORA_DBA group ?
Can you walk me through how to create the directory from command line please?Ok, given the above statements from you, I'm not even sure where to begin. I don't want to be cruel, but this self-admitted lack of even the most rudimentary knowledge by someone attempting to learn about Oracle is truly astounding. What course are you taking? Why are you taking this course?

How to I convert data from oracle database into excel sheet

how to I convert data from oracle database into excel sheet.
I need to import columns and there datas from oracle database to microsoft excel sheet.
Please let me know the different ways for doing this.
Thanks.

asktom.oracle.com has an excellent article on writing a PL/SQL procedure that dumps data to an Excel spreadsheet-- search for 'Excel' and it'll come up.
You can also use your favorite connection protocol (ODBC, OLE DB, etc) to connect from Excel to Oracle and pull the data out that way.

Oracle Database: productivity increase

Hi all,
in our company we use the three-tier architecture base on Oracle products:
client(web browser) - application server (Oracle AS 10g) - database server (Oracle database 10g).
and we plan to appreciably increase number of clients. And it is necessary for me to define how much it will be necessary to increase hardware units productivity (CPU speed in MHz and RAM capacity in MB) to support new clients on Oracle AS 10g and Oracle Database 10g side.
I've found AS Discoverer Sizing Calculator on oracle.com, but I can't find similar calculator for Database 10g.
Could anybody please advise how to calculate hardware sizing for Oracle Database 10g server?
Thanks a lot

Again - as the question you asked about the bandwidth - this cannot be answered without knowing the application, number of users, amount of data, etc.
I suggest you build an environment for a POC/Benchmark.
In this environment you can install your application and tweak the settings (various initialization parameters, etc) to see the impact on your system. Be sure to include enough data as most systems work well with 1 MB of test data but not with 5 GB of test data.

Oracle Database 11g Backup Deduplication using CommVault

Hi Everyone
We have recently implemented Commvault solution for a Backup and Recovery of Oracle database and other IT softwares / fileservers. Oracle E-business suite 12.1.1 is implemented in our organization with 11g database 11.2.0.3.6, for all the backups we have enabled deduplication and it is giving more then 90& dedup on all softwares except for Oracle database, for oracle it is giving just 40% or max 50% which is not acceptable to our organization
Production DB sizee = 257 GB
Used block = 157 GB
Backup Policy = Daily Full backup incremental 0 with commvault dedup enabled
Deduplication % = 40 to 50 %
requiement = should be over 90%
Our database is small and there are around 6 to 7 GB of archives daily so the data is not changing much, commvault support is saying that the block signatures are changing due to this we are not getting the full deduplication and they are asking us to check what changes are made during the day and oracle support says that once the rman backup is completed it has nothing to do with the third party dedup, and we are stuck so i thought to put it in the forum and may be oracle gurus can help find a solution here, my questions are:
1. Is there a non issue of not getting fully deduplication of Oracle database using third party deduplication solutions? Is there any one who have used oracle backups with Commvault and dedup enabled, any help would be great
2. I also need to know how to check what changes are made in database on a daily basis.
Please help
Thank you

CRM TPM Database Sizing for CRM and BW

All,
I am currently sizing for a TPM implementation and have a couple of questions concerning storage capacity for CRM and BW. I have reviewed and created an Excel spreadsheet based on the SAP Sizing Guide for CRM-TPM but I am coming up short in a couple areas.
Here is the document Link: [https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000711312004E]
1. Is there a storage sizing guide for BW or what has worked for the community to estimate?
2. Is the sizing guide for CRM/TPM correct (see below example)?
3. What has worked for CRM/TPM database sizing from the community?
I have a question about section 3.3.3 Disk Sizing in CRM. If the disk sizing is based on per promotion (for the condition generation process), why is there a multiplication factor for PARTNERS? I donu2019t believe we would have more than 1 or 2 partners per promotion.
I did some quick math with some example numbers and came up with about 2.9TB for the CRM database. See below for additional info based on the equation in section 3.3.3.
Part 1
20,000 Promotions
10 Products
1000 Partners
.87TB
Part 2
10,000 Promotions
47 Products
1000 Partners
2.04TB
Is this accurate for sizing the condition generation process for the CRM database? I am failing to understand why, for example, the 20,000 promotions would have 1,200 partners included in the base equation for each promotion.
I appreciate any time you could spend in responding to my question.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Setup automated login to Oracle database

Hi,
I am facing a problem while connecting to the Oracle database automatically.
I want to setup an SQL query on the database which is scheduled to run every midnight. The SQL query then populates an Excel spreadsheet with the results. I was able to schedule the SQL qeury, however, the problem is that it requests the user to type in the password every time it runs. I want to store the username and password in the connection string/driver settings to avoid uder interaction.
The following are ths current settings :
1. In Microsoft ODBC setup for Oracle settings,
DSN = DDTS
Description = (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=bee1.pcs.mot.com)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=WSDTOOL1)))
Username = myUserName
Server = DDTS
2. In MS Excel, I created the Data Source and set the driver to MS ODBC for Oracle.
I tried to save the UID=xxx and PWD=xxx in the (a) Connection String for the ODBC Setup (b) in the tnsnames.org, but none of the options work. It still needs the user to enter the password everytime it executes.
Can someone help ?
Thanks !

Hi Justin,
Thanks for your reply.
There's no particular reason as to why I chose MS ODBC driver rather than selecting the Oracle ODBC driver.
As you had suggested, I tried to use the setup the data source using the Oracle ODBC driver, but I am getting a connection error : 'ORA-12154: TNS : Could not resolve service name Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed'. I guess its something to do with my settings, but I am not sure what's wrong. Here are the settings for the data source with Oracle ODBC driver :
Data Source Name : myDDTS
Description : (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=bee1.xx.xx.com)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=WSDTOOL1)))
Data Source ( Service Name) : WSDTOOL1
Data Source ( UserID) : myUserID
Also, could you let me know which registry entries need to be modified to save the userID and password ? ( I am a newbie with Oracle).
Regarding your question, the ODBC connect string I was using with MS ODBC driver was : (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=bee1.xx.xx.com)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=WSDTOOL1))). The connection was successful and the query worked fine, the only problem I was facing ( and looking for a solution ) was that a dialog box used to pop up asking for the password every time the SQL query is executed which I want to avoid. I want to save the password so that the query runs without any user interaction.
Thanks for your help ! Waiting for your reply....
