Oracle Standard Diagnostic and Tuning Pack

Can you purchase a license for Oracle Diagnostic and Tuning Pack to be used in an already licensed Oracle Standard database? If so, can you add it as a named user license for one or two people, or does the license have to match the database license (which is presently a processor license)?
It seems to me that to license the Diagnostic and Tuning Pack you need to be upgrade to Oracle Enterprise Edition. Is this correct?

According to the Licensing Guide/Information these packs are not available (see Manageability section):
- in Oracle 10.2 Standard Edition http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/editions.htm#BABJFHED
- in Oracle 11.1 Standard Edition http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/license.111/b28287/editions.htm#CIHBAEID
- in Oracle 11.2 Standard Edition http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/editions.htm#CJACGHEB

How to install 10g diagnostic and tuning pack

Hi,
am new to 10g. in 9i there was a seperate CDs for diagnostic and tuning packs. But in 10g we didn't got any CD for this. So is it installed by default with 10g?. if yes is there any configuration required for using these packs. If it is not installed by default where i can get this?.
Thanks in advance
M.SUdhakar

Hi
These are not separate anymore.
In Grid Control go to Setup -> Management Pack Access to set them up.
Also see Chapter 2 in http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/license.101/b13552/toc.htm
Unfortunately, Oracle don't appear to have migrated all of the functionality of Diagnostics Pack and Tuning Pack to Grid Control, especially for databases < 10g. eg. the very useful Response Time Per Transaction metric is only available for 10g databases. Also, the graph viewing functionality looks poor.

Oracle Standard Edition and OLAP

Hi all,
Am I correct in thinking that datawarehouse and OLAP style features are only available as an extra option when you have purchased Oracle Enterprise edition?
Are there any OLAP related features that come with Standard edition, or do you have to go the whole hog just to make a basic cube?
Many thanks
Simon

If you mean Multidimensional OLAP cube, then yes it is only available in the OLAP option that extends Enterprise Edition. But few people need that kind of power.
Or do you mean 'cube' or 'rollup' described http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10810/aggreg.htm#DWHSG8648 which os a completely different animal. A LOT of ROLAP capability, including cube and rollup, even exist in Express Edition.

Database link between Oracle Standard Edition and Oracle Enterprise Edition

Hi,
I am looking at setting up a data transfer process between an Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition database and an Oracle 11g Standard Edition database. Database links would be required each way.
I heard once that this is not permitted as connecting Standard to Enterprise via a DB Link means that the Standard Edition database would now need an Enterprise license.
I have searched around but can't find anything to confirm this. Am I being mislead by this information? Is it permitted to
connect Standard to Enterprise via a DB Link?

When a db-1 has a link pointing to db-2, as far as db-2 is concerned db-1 is just another client .. no different than sqlplus. If you have an Enterprise Edition database, of course it will need to be properly licensed. But that doesn't mean all of its clients (including a SE database) have to be EE licensed.
But even my reply is just something you read on the internet. Licensing questions can only be definitively answered by Oracle itself. Ultimately you will need to put your hands on an official Oracle document or a written statement from someone authorized to make such statements.

Oracle Standard Edition and GoldenGate for replication?

The Question:
Can GoldenGate run in a Standard Edition RAC ==> Enterprise Edition standalone environment and perform the required rule-based replication without requiring an upgrade of our RAC Standard Edition to RAC Enterprise Edition?
The environment:
Source System: 2-node RAC running Standard Edition 10.2.0.5 (RHEL5 x86-64)
Target System: 1-node running Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.1 (RHEL5 x86-64)
The requirement:
Lossless one-way replication in "real time" of selected schema while excluding selected DDL/DML based on multiple rules.
Present solution:
LogMiner, but there is a known LogMiner bug (p8977287) that causes data loss when one RAC node goes down or is evicted from the cluster. The bug is reportedly patched in 11.2.0.2 and is slated to be fixed in 12.x.
Thx.

Yes. Simple enough, it can extract from SE, even XE!

Studying for Oracle 11g Performance and Tuning exam - 1Z0-054

Hello all,
I want to attend to this exam and I'm looking for interesting and usefull studying path. Sure manuals on tahiti are needed.
Neither sefltestsoftware not Testking has released a proficiency test for this exam. I was only able to find a test from Braindumps here (http://www.exam4test.net/1Z1-054) but not sure this is a serious material.
Any hints about this material and / or any other suggestions?
Thanks
Stefano

Hi Stefano
Seems that our friends from Certguard aren't sure that this a legal provider, but the look and feel would say to avoid that site.
Try the http://www.certguard.com/braindump-quiz.asp it matches very well to the site or?
Besides that while looking on the domain i found that
Domains being linked from exam4test.com
* Traffic rank 252963. test-inside.com
* Traffic rank 940584. exam4test.net
and those sites aren't clean.

[1Z0-054] Oracle 11g Performance and Tuning

Hi all,
does anyone has already taken this exam? I just want to know which study materials you've used and also if there's any online testing software.
I've downloaded ucertify test for this exam but I'm not sure that is a great and affordable testing tools...
Thanks
Steve

Some people have given more positive opinion on some more recent Ucertify practice tests than this on this forum.
I would not completely write off Ucertify practice tests .... but if you buy them:
They may not have same quality as SelfTestSoftware
They may not represent value for money.
They probably give full topic coverage.
They could even have incorrect answers for all I know.
However they may help you identify some weak areas.
If you buy expecting a 5*Hotel you may be disappointed, if you buy expecting a room with a hammock and cockroaches you may be happy about it.
(Please note I have not bought the tests .... it is only from feedback to this forum).

How to use Tuning Pack for SQL tuning

We're just getting started with 10g, and I'm more familiar with 9i. In OEM 9i, there was something called Oracle SQL Analyze. It allowed you to work on a problem SQL statement, adding hints, making other changes, etc., and then you could easily compare the plan for two versions of a query. You could also execute right from there and it'd let you click on a tab to view the statistics. You could compare the statistics for two versions of the same statement.
I don't see anything like this in 10.1 GC, and that's with both the Diagnostic and Tuning Packs activated. There are a number of ways you can identify an SQL for analysis, then get an explain plan, then get some recommendations. But I don't see anything that allows you to add hints, compare different versions of the explain plan, or compare the statistics for different versions of a statement.
Am I missing something?
Thanks.
Dave

Rodney,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I agree, the Java console which runs directly on Windows is quite limited. Change Manager is there, as you indicated. However, MetaLink note 277066.1 indicates that "Tuning Pack Functionality" is also available in the Java version, and I don't see any of it there.
What I'm looking for is a framework for testing different versions of an SQL statement. I want to be able to execute the current version of a statement and, for example, a modified version with a hint added. I want to be able to see at least the basic statisitics comparing the two exections (e.g., elapsed time, logical reads, physical reads). This was possible with SQL Analyze in 9i, but I can't find anything like it in 10g.
I have found both the 10g advisors you mentioned and they do seem to work, but they don't provide the same flexibility and power for working on statement tuning apart from what the advisors recommend.
Thanks for all the suggestions/ideas...
Dave

Disabling Diagnostics+Tuning packs in ASM

Am running ASM (11.1.0.6) on several Linux RHES 4.5 boxes and can't seem to disable the Diagnostics and Tuning options on the ASM instance, which I really should do as we're not licensed for it.
I did not explicitly accept use of the packs, for either the db instance, the host or the ASM instance (as you used to have to do on starting EM for the very first time after instance creation in 10g), however the performance options were available after instance creation and the 'Pack Access Agreed' column was ticked for the db instance, the host and the ASM instance.
I have been able to reset the options for the database and the host, and can also deselect those options for the ASM instance from the Management Pack Access page. This then greys out the displays asssociated with the packs in the ASM EM page.
However every time I log out, log back in and go back to the ASM section of Enterprise Manager, the diagnostic and tuning pack availability boxes are selected and the performance tab is no longer greyed out.
Connecting as sysasm via the command line shows the parameter control_management_pack_access as being set to DIAGNOSTICS+TUNING, however attempting to update that parameter directly via alter system set..... returns the error: ORA-15021 parameter not valid in ASM.
I can manually avoid using this functionality, but this isn't ideal and I'd hate to fall foul of Oracle licensing.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks,
Gavin

Hi Gavin ,
I am not sure if this parameter is applicable for ASM.
Please check if below helps :

11g Dignosting pack & tuning pack

Dear Support,
What is best practice to configure 11g dignosting and tuning pack . Thanks
Regard
William Voong

The parameter "control_management_pack_access" have to be set on "DIAGNOSTIC+TUNING".
In that case you activate functions of the Diagnostic and Tuning Pack. After, you can use it !

Diagnostic pack, Tuning pack are not in OEM 10g, Add partition to a table

Hi All,
I have 2 questions:
Q.1: In Oracle 9i Oracle Enterprise Manager java console, we had "Diagnostic Pack" and "Tuning Pack" which helped us seeing performance tuning info (session's statistics such as cpu time, pga memory, physical disk reads, etc.) and privded help for sql tuning and performance improvements. But in 10g, the same product (Oracle Enterprise Manager java console) does not include these 2 packs, due to which we are unable to monitor and control performance tuning information/statistics. Now my question is, do we need to install these 2 packs separately in 10g? if yes, where can we get them? (I am sure in 9i, these packages came with OEM console and we didnt need to get them separately)
Q.2: I have a partitioned table having 5 partitions based on range partitioning. Now our requirements have changed and we need to insert values beyong the 5th partition, so we need a 6th partition. Can someone tell me the command to add a new partition to the table? I tried "Alter table xxx add partition yyy ....", but it didn't work. If any one can me the correct syntax, it will be great.
Thanks in advance.

OP is talking about java-based EM, not web-based DBConsole. In fact he/she has to change to DBConsole, because 10g java EM doesn't longer support these tuning features.
Alter table ... partition syntax depends on the kind of partitioning, see the documentation:

Diagnostic & Tuning Pack

Hello Gurus,
Is there a way i can identify that diagnostic pack &/or tuning pack is installed for a particular database? I know we can list options and feature usage using v$option etc.. and that installed products list can be fetched using opatch lsinventory -detail, but this does not tell me anything about the diagnostic/tuning pack (or that I am unable to interpret if diag/tuning pack is installed).
Can you please help.
Rgds

Edited by: jugheadDBA on Apr 28, 2009 4:13 AM

Diagnostic and Tuning Packs are Management Packs (accessible via Enterprise Manager and some APIs),but no database options. They are always part of the Enterprise Edition, you can only control, whether access is allowed (means you have a licence) or not. Control is done by pfile/spfile parameter CONTROL_MANAGEMENT_PACK_ACCESS. This parameter can be set to one of three values:
DIAGNOSTIC+TUNING: Diagnostic Pack and Tuning Pack functionally is enabled in the database server.
DIAGNOSTIC: Only Diagnostic Pack functionality is enabled in the server.
NONE: Diagnostic Pack and Tuning pack functionally is disabled in the database server.

OEM ADDM & Tuning Pack

Hi Friends,
I'm evaluating the Oracle Diagnostic pack and tuning pack to compliment the already available standard SAP tool for tuning like st04/st03n,etc
Few questions
1. Anyone see the worth of the above 2 pack ?
2.sto4 can show you only so much why certain read/write in DB is slow, will this be the better tool in market for diagnostics
3. Anyone sees negative impact/ horror stories due to this?
4. Oracle has improvised OEM in 11g and 10g significantly, any inputs on this and usage on RAC
5. Any other great inputs are welcomed as well
Thanks & Best Regards,
Naren

Hi Naren,
From an Oracle DBA perspective, which is where am coming from, these tools are very helpful but because you are on SAP where you are really bound by SAP metrics, these are not going to be helpful to you because SAP recommendation supercedes Oracle's recommednation.
Note also that these packs require a separate license. If you are not licensed to use it, you should not be using them. From Oracle10g onward, Oracle had a record everytime that you use the diagnostic pack. You should have gotten this warning the first time that you try and use the diagnostic pack.
IMHO, most tuning are supposed to be coming from an application end and this is what most of the OEM reports will show you, the most expensive SQLs, you need to put index here and there, log switching, memory not enough etc. Most of these are already discussed in SAP notes. Additional indexes if ever one is identified, you will still have to get SAP Support to approve that, so what's the point?

About Standard Edition and Standard Edition one

Good day people.
I 'm not sure if this question has been asked, excuse me if I haven't noticed it.
Where I currently work are planning the implementation of an software running over Oracle DataBase, but they are unsure for which DB version to choose.
1. What are the main differences between Oracle Standard Edition and Oracle Standard Edition one? (besides that the second doesn't support RAC or clusters.)
2. I am still unsure if license for processors are counted as processors or cores, for instance 1 processor with 4 cores (means 1 processor? or 4 processors or a factor multiply)?
3. Is it true that EVERY license I buy MUST have 1 first year as support?
And 4. Is Windows Server 2008 supported? (64bits)
Gracias, a lot.

Firstly for license its better to contact wiht your local oracle sale representative which you can get exact answer.

How similar is the performance and tuning 1z1-064 (12c) to the 1z0-054 (11g)?

I had taken the Oracle 11g performance and Tuning class from Oracle.
I am just wondering how close the 1z1-064 will be to the 1z0-054.
I am also studying for the 1z1-064 exam.
Are there any books out yet, or just the otn material.
Thanks Roger

Hopefully John Watson will pipe in on this. I know he has taken both exams. He recently noted on the OraFAQ forum that he had taken both the 1Z0-063 and 1Z0-064 beta exams. His comments about them there were:
"I would say that looking at the exams as a whole, there is a huge improvement over the 10g and 11g equivalents. The new exams cover a lot more material in a lot greater detail, and are a lot harder. These 12c exams are a Good Thing for the profession. They should filter out a lot of exam-cram only DBAs"
It's not clear to me how much of that comment was directed at 063 and how much at 064. The topic list for 063 is much larger than that for 053. However, the topic list for 064 is actually a bit smaller than that of 054.
