Oracle Spatial on RAC

Hi,
We have an application where we use Oracle Spatial (SDO_GEOMETRY) and we use Eclipselink as the JPA provider. When using this on RAC with MutliDatasource with algorithm as "LoadBalancing" we are seeing the following exception when storing entities
An error has occured flushing the user transaction.
Caused by: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Exception EclipseLink-4002 (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.3.1.v20111018-r10243):
**org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Internal Error: Cannot construct STRUCT instance,invalid connection

The same works in standalone DB or if the MultiDataSource algorithm is failover. Similarly when a RAC node goes down, the same problem exists even with Failover
I searched in Oracle forums and found the following link which could be related
https://community.oracle.com/message/1147983#1147983
By looking at the above pattern, I think if the JGeometry class is passed different connections (one of each node) it fails. Is there a way to clear the descriptors in Eclipselink safely?
Is Spatial designed to work with RAC ?
Any pointers on how to solve this is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rama

Hello
You should try to split the upgrade into two tasks - upgrade and migration. Upgrade to 11.2.0.3 on the Windows server first and then migrate to the Linux RAC.
Spatial will be upgraded as part of the database upgrade, you may need to reindex as per
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11830/sdo_migrat.htm
There are many ways to migrate from Windows to Linux, you could use RMAN as it is possible to restore Windows backups on Linux and vice versa.

Can not deploy Oracle Spatial Routing Engine on Oracle Weblogic

I posted my question with Oracle Support, however they directed me to the oracle forums. I am hoping this problem can be resolved here. In any event I am getting the following stack trace (shown below). I am using Spatial Version 11.2.0.1.0, Map Viewer 11.1.1.5.1, and WebLogic 10.3.5.0, and data-set provided by Pro Oracle Spatial for Oracle Database 11g - Apress boos. I have successful in deploying Map Viewer, Geocoder Server, but not the Routing Server.
Below is the stack trace:

Loading shapefiles into Oracle Spatial

Fellow Oracle Spatiallers!
Currently we edit Oracle Spatial data by checking data out into a shapefile,
making our changes off-line, and reloading the shapefile back into Oracle.
Instead of using the Oracle Spatial supplied tool, we decided to purchase
a utility called the "Spatial Loader" from a company called Geometry Pty Ltd
(http://www.geometryit.com). There are a number of reasons why we decided to
go that way which might become evident from the command line parameters of
this utility:
Usage: Shp2Spt [Arguments] [Options]
OR
Usage: Java com.geometryit.spatialloader.oracle.AdvancedJavaSpatialTranslator [Arguments] [Options]
[Arguments] must specify these values:
-o create
type of operation to perform
create creates a new table, must not exist already
recreate creates a new table, may exist already
init drops existing table, creates a new one
append appends data onto existing table
-f <shape_file>
the shape file or project to translate
-l <table,column>
target table and column for the geometry data
-D <database>
target database name
-u <username>
username for RDBMS
-p <password>
password for RDBMS
[Options] values are not necessarily required:
-s <server_name>
name of server with database
-port <port_number>
the port to connect to on the server
-ufi <column_name>
specify the name of the UFI field (unique ID)
-seq <sequence_name>
specify the sequence to use for the spatial data unique IDs
-a none
attributes mode
none no attributes will be transferred
all all attribtues will be transfered as found
file= file containing lines of the form:
<shape_attribute><space/tab><rdbms_column>
where
<shape_attribute> selects the column to be output
<rdbms_column> name of the column in RDBMS
-srid <id>
specify the Spatial Reference ID for the spatial data
(this must be set to use Spatial Reference Transformations)
-i [<level>] or -i rtree
create an index for the generated table
the <level> parameter is an optional integer
representing the depth of the quadtree created
if rtree is specified, the index created will be
an rtree
-c <commit_interval>
number of rows to commit after
-t <tolerance>
tolerance value for metadata
-r none
used to determine number of decimal places to round vertices to
if you use the tolerance-parameter option, specify the -t parameter before -r
-igc
ignore geometry collections
-sgc
split geometry collections
-sgd f
split geometry direction [forward | reverse]
-update-metadata <true/false>
update the Oracle Spatial Metadata table after loading data
-validate <true/false>
perform Oracle Spatial validation after loading data
-v
verbose mode on
-h or -?
display this help message
The main things I like about this tool are:
1. One step (no conversion to sqlloader form followed by a call to the sqlloader).
2. The ability to round the coordinates of the shapes in the shapefile by applying
the XY tolerance values held in the SDO_GEOM_METADATA table.
This is quite important because our editing package - due to double/single precision
issues - can actually move coordinates but those movements are sub the precision of
the actual data. By rounding to the nominate precision we can detect situations where
no actual change to the shape (and its attributes) was made and thus not create superfluous
revisions within the database.
3. It will correctly re-wind the coordinates of the outer/inner shells of polygons. This is
important as ESRI shapefiles are agnostic on the winding order: an outer shell coordinates
can be listed in either clockwise or anti-clockwise order.
4. You can specify the primary key (UFI) column (numeric) and an Oracle Sequence number such
that each new shape loaded can have its UFI assigned from that sequence.
Because of this flexibility, and the excellent support (it is a purchasable product) from the
developers, I can heartily recommend this loader to fellow Spatiallers. It is worth every
penny I spent on it. Try the free version on their website and if, like me, you like it,
purchase it!
regards
Simon

Hi Shuan,
As part of the zip file created for the next training course to be posted for Oracle Spatial on OTN (within the next few weeks) there is a free (unsupported, undocumented) version of a shape to sdo converter. This should work, but it is unsupported. It will create a layer that then needs to be migrated into 8.1.6 format.
If you need it quite soon send email to [email protected] and I can get it to you.
Hope this helps,
dan

Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
My configuration is:
Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
Formsbuilder 6
If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
With regards,
Gerjan Walrecht

Hello Priya,
Look into the following.
1. Book - Pro Oracle Spatial for Oracle Database 11g by r. Kothuri, A. Godfrind, E. Beinat. This book provides a nice introduction on Oracle Spatial concepts and have examples.
2. Look at the Oracle Spatial & Graph User Guide
2. Book - Applying and Extending Oracle Spatial by S. Greener and S. Ravada. This book provides hands on information for advanced oracle spatial application developers. Practical guide on hands-on examples, Data models and develop cross-vendor database solutions.
3. This oracle spatial forum, once you understand these concepts.
In the future consider Certification on Oracle Spatial 11g Certified Implementation Specialist.

Help define the requirements for an Oracle Spatial management tool

Hi,
We are developing a tool that, we hope, will be indispensable for all Oracle Spatial and Locator dbas/users. We've released version 1.0, but we need your help to define the requirements for the next version.
What features would you like to have in a management tool for your spatial databases?
The features we've got so far:
1. Viewing of vector data in a map + attributes
2. Loading from shapefiles
3. Exporting to shapefiles
4. Validating metadata, indexes and spatial data.
We are adding editing of vectors in the next version - basic stuff for add, update and delete.
But there must be a lot more. What do you find difficult to do in Oracle Spatial/Locator? What would you like in a tool such as this?
Any feedback either to myself or the forum is much appreciated.
cheers,
Andrew
[email protected]
PS If you like to have a look at what we have done so far, go to http://www.geometryit.com/products/spatialConsole.php

Andrew knows what I have asked for but for others to think about and to start
the ball rolling, here's what they are:
1. Ability to enter own SQL commands but with PARAMETERS for attributes
and shapes as in the following examples:
SELECT ...
FROM my_spatial_table a
WHERE a.ATTRIBUTE = :attr
AND MDSYS.SDO_RELATE(a.shape,:polygon,'mask=anyinteract') = 'TRUE'
When executed the attribute value is asked for via a input box (data type?)
and the user is asked to define the SDO_GEOMETRY for the :polgygon parameter via mouse clicks on the screen.
Similarly, this would work for INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE...
INSERT INTO my_spatial_table (shape) values(:polygon)
The data type of an attribute parameter could be determined in two ways:
a) By querying the Oracle catalog;
b) By using a "PARAMETERS" command before the query as follows
PARAMETERS name type [(size)] [, name type [(size)] ...]
The PARAMETERS declaration has these parts:
name     The name of the parameter.
type     The type of the parameter.
size     The size of the parameter in characters or bytes.
2. When executing an SQL SELECT statement I would like the tool
to suggest the HINTS that are needed to improve performance.
3. Following on from 2, I would like to Tick an option that would return the
EXPLAIN PLAN that the query optimizer used when executing my query.
4. The tool has to support ALL Oracle's spatial vector data types.
5. It would be nice to be able to work with GeoRasters. Since Spatial Console
imports/exports shapefiles why not the same for rasters. However, the problem
with supporting foreign data formats is WHERE DO YOU STOP!!!!!
6. You could allow for the styling of the Spatial Console to be stored in the MapViewer catalogs or use the MapViewer catalogs when styling an Sdo_Geometry if it exists (I note that your tool extracts the SDO_METADATA
why not the MapViewer metadata as well)?
regards
S.

To meet information demand concerning income and job generation programs implemented by Brazil’s Federal District Economic Development Office (SDE), the Federal District Planning Company developed the Urban Areas Management System (SIGAU). Local areas are evaluated through performance indexes that take into account urban features, land plot, block and district, and analysis/simulation of a large volume of data from many governmental offices and systems. Thematic maps enable follow up and decision making on current programs. Oracle Spatial, GeoRaster and MapViewer provide a safe, high performance implementation platform. A demo will be shown.
Creation, Publication & Update of Maps out of Databases
Sebastien Lanoe, Product Marketing Manager, Lorienne SA
The production of maps out of GIS databases is often a challenging process. Lorienne innovates with a new map production environment for map creation, map publication and map updates from Oracle Spatial, with a focus on high quality, production cost, data integrity and diversification of map products across media. The case study with Tele Atlas data stored in Oracle Spatial will address the benefits, the level of quality, the efficiency of the production process and its dedicated user-friendly environment.
Reengineering Desktop Thick Workgroups into Web
Rich Enterprise Clients
Bryan Hall, Spatial Architect, L-3 Communications
Jeff Walawender, Senior Software Engineer, L-3 Communications
Cost cutting requires reengineering spatial solutions to directly address business requirements. But enterprise computing for spatial data has, with even "Web 2.0", required the user to lose the responsiveness and feedback that traditional desktop thick client GIS software has provided. We took a different approach in the re-engineering effort and concentrated on making it work as much like a traditional desktop thick client - while simplifying use, making editing more reliable, and actually speeding up rendering. All this, while only supporting one versioned Oracle Spatial database, and application tier for all users.
Complete eGovernment solution at City of Bolzano
Stefan Putzer, CreaForm
Giulio Lavoriero, Director of Engineering, CreaForm
The City of Bolzano, Italy has a unique, complete editing and publishing environment for geographical data. The Oracle Spatial-based enterprise editing environment supports import and export into geospatial tools from Bentley and ESRI, and network modeling from Oracle Spatial. Data is shared with GeoJAX, an easy-to-use geographical web browser that uses the Oracle MapViewer framework in combination with J2EE and AJAX for browsing Oracle Spatial data. This provides a flexible viewer supports spatial queries, and can be fully customized (style and functionality). Users can easily import any kind of geographical data from an ESRI file, edit it with a CAD precision functionality and make those data visible to anyone via the web in a very short time.

How do I know if a function is included in Oracle Spatial or in Locator ?

Hi,
Is there a document that lists which spatial packages are licensed as Locator and which are licence as spatial?
Tamas

Its all listed in Appendix B of the Oracle Spatial Developer's Guide. It varies a little from release to release so you'll need to check the guide for the database release you're on.

Issues while installing ORACLE 10g R2 RAC on RHEL 5.3

i am installing oracle 10g R2 RAC on RHEL 5.3 in a test environment. my aim was to install using ASM.
i went through the pre-requisites ok before beginning with the installation.
since RHEL 5.3 doesnt support raw devices i used

did you check this

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b28263/storage.htm#CDEBFDEH
also before you do what is suggested on the url posted by Mufalani,
it seems that you should do the following:
Check existence of udev raw mapping rule file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
On RH/EL5, udev raw mapping rule file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules should exist by default as part of the util-linux package, for example:
# ls /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rulesCreate a custom udev raw mapping rule file, /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules say, for example:
# touch /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules3b. Add udev raw binding rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules file
Add the udev raw binding rules to the /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules file, for example:
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules
# Raw bind to Oracle Clusterware devices
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd*", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id", RESULT=="360a98000686f6959684a453333524174", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd*", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id", RESULT=="360a98000686f6959684a453333524179", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw2 %N"If migrating to RHEL5/OEL5 from an earlier Linux version that relied on /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices file for persistent raw device bindings, the following script can be used as a basis for generating your RHEL5/OEL5 udev rules. Note, the script does not factor device name persistency.
#!/bin/bash
grep -v "^ *#" /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices | grep -v "^$" | while read dev major minor ; do
if [ -z "$minor" ]; then
echo "ACTION==\"add\", KERNEL==\"${major##/dev/}\", RUN+=\"/bin/raw $dev %N\""
else
echo "ACTION==\"add\", ENV{MAJOR}==\"$major\", ENV{MINOR}==\"$minor\", RUN+=\"/bin/raw $dev %M %m\""

During the installation of grid infra(cluster) for Oracle 11.2 RAC one.

Good Day All, and thanks in advance…
During the installation of grid infrastructure(cluster) for Oracle 11.2 RAC One Node on AIX6.1 ( PROD) , ASM used. I am getting below errors when executing ./root.sh
Upon investigation ,I managed to get note: 1068212.1 from the support oracle site ( see below for details) . I might be hitting Unpublished bug 8670579. I also logged Severity 2 SR with Oracle support to get the bug/patch fix and no one has attended the call.
This might be configuration issue or otherwise , if you have experienced the same issue please assist ? ( if you need more logfiles please feel free to request)….
I ran the Cluster Verify Check – all passed.
Many Thanks
Ezekiel Filane

Hi,
We are also trying to install 11.2.0.2 Grid infrastructure for Oracle RAC One Node on AIX 6.1. We did a POC in our lab environment and after much struggle got that working. Now we are building 4 clusters in the production environment and the first cluster installation failed while running root.sh on node2. We already have a Sev1 ticket open with Oracle Support but have not heard anything.
Here is root.sh output from node2. The two node names are p01dou416 and p01dou417.
CRS-4402: The CSS daemon was started in exclusive mode but found an active CSS daemon on node p01dou416, number 1, and is terminating
An active cluster was found during exclusive startup, restarting to join the cluster

Oracle Spatial functionality with WFS

Hi all
My first post here so be gentle on me ;-)
This may be an obvious question but here goes ...
When using a WFS client can you access the full SDO_... SQL functions within Oracle Spatial? I've had a read of the WFS spec and it is all a bit vague on how the queries get passed through to the data store.
Also with the WFS locking, is this done at the web server level? If so how would that impact on any direct access to the database? A bit dangerous??
Appreciate any advice on WFS implemtations with a 9i back end. I want to retain the full native Oracle functionality and still deploy via WFS ... a pipe dream??
Thanks
Richard

Thanks for your response Andreas
Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear, I realise the WFS client will never directly access the data source, that it is the WFS server that makes the request to the data store, not the client, but can the call be passed through to Oracle as native SQL?
I think I found the answer in the OGC Filter Encoding Imp Spec where it desribes in great detail the optional filter component of a WFS request. It desribes the CQL filter operators that include some spatial operators. These could, I understand, be translated from CGL and Feature based schema to SQL (in GML?) and relational based schema.
While I don't think at first glance that the spatial operators in CQL match all the Oracle SDO_ functions they probably go far enough for most normal users.
Am I on the right track?
Does anyone know of any work that has been done in this filter translation to SQL and if it has been implemented successfully anywhere.
I think the locks would still pose a problem, but that's for another day :-)
Thanks
Richard

Oracle Spatial 8.1.7 r-tree indexes

I don't think this problem is specific to r-tree indexes vs. quad-tree.
Even though I specify a tablespace other than the SYSTEM tablespace in Oracle Spatial Index Advisor when creating r-tree indexes, the index is still created in the SYSTEM tablespace. I don't want my spatial indexes in the SYSTEM tablespace!
select tablespace_name from user_indexes where index_name = 'GPS_IDX';
TABLESPACE_NAME
SYSTEM
Here is the sql statement that Spatial Index Advisor constructed:
create index gis.gps_idx on gis.gps (geometry) indextype is mdsys.spatial_index parameters ('sdo_indx_dims=2');
I was not able to issue this sql from worksheet with the tablespace option added. Is there a way to do that?
In Spatial Index Advisor, if I don't select the geometry column, then the sql is constructed with the tablespace option added, but when I select the geometry column, it removes it from the sql.
Can anybody shed some light on how to do this?
thanks
Dave

Spatial creates an index entry in the system tablespace but realy creates the spatial index in the tablespace you gave it. To verify it execute the select:
select table_name,tablespace_name
from user_tables
where table_name like 'spatial_table%';
It will return your table_name plus the spatial index table created for it.
The table_name will look something like this:
spatial_table_SX_FL10$.
spatial_tables beeing your spatial table.
You can query the same for the indexes built on that previous table.
select index_name,tablespace_name
from user_indexes
where table_name = 'SPATIAL_TABLE_SX_FL10$';
The two index names would look like:
spatial_table_sx_fl10$B1
spatial_table_sx_fl10$B2
They should be created in the tablespace mentionned in your tablespace clause when creating the spatial index.
Hope this helps

Oracle Spatial 10g R2 Java API

Hi All,
I have a JAVA tool said to be written for Oracle Spatial 10g R2 Java API which uses for example the class oracle.spatial.georaster.JGeoRaster. I have to port it to 11g R2. The tool is definitely written for an earlier version, because compilation fails on for example JGeoRaster.getProperties() method which is not present in the new API. For this new API I have a fine Javadoc documentation here:
http://download-llnw.oracle.com/docs/html/E11829_01/
I have searched for a similar one for 10g R2 but found only like
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14373/toc.htm
which misses the oracle.spatial.georaster package. Is there such a package and if so, where can I find docs for it?
thank you in advance, best regards: Balázs Bámer

Hi Balázs,
the GeoRaster Java API was first released with 11gR2. Your first link points to that, or this link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11829/toc.htm
your second link points to 10g Oracle Spatial Java API, which doesn't include any GeoRaster related API. your tool might have been developed based on the old INTERNAL georaster jar file, which is not supposed to be used by your java program. But if you do want the api doc, you can run javadoc or jdeveloper to find out the api from the old sdogr.jar file.

Oracle Spatial system requirements

Hi Experts,
I have a 32bit window 2003 server with 8G memory (PAE added to *g from 2G) with 4 CPU.
we use oracle 10GR4 suppour in stream.
Based on application, I need to install Oracle Spatial ( Actually, I can saw Oracle Spatial object in sysaux tablespace).
I could not find how many system resource requirement to support Oracle Spatial future.
ALso How to check Oracle Spatial is installed into system?
Thanks for HELP!!
JIM

You can see what kind of options you have with:
select * from dba_registry;
Do you really need Oracle Spatial or just the free subset Oracle Locator?

Oracle spatial datasets

Are there any sites from where i can get spatial data that can be downloaded to Oracle Spatial. I am doing project on spatial datawarehousing, so need some real data on climatic conditions for some span of time. I have searched a lot on google but can not find a good one. May be you can help me
thanks

All you can do is find sites that have shapefiles or GML for download
and then use the appropriate loader to put into Oracle.
There are NO sites that I know of that make data available in Oracle exporter format.
