Problems While Performing Switchover Oracle 11g

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 version.
I have a Primary-Physical Standby setup(Test Environment). I am performing a switchover between them.
I have followed the below steps:-
ON Primary:-
SQL> select switchover_status from v$database;
SWITCHOVER_STATUS
TO STANDBY
SQL> alter database commit to switchover to physical standby;
Database altered.
SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01507: database not mounted
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 2054373376 bytes
Fixed Size 2214856 bytes
Variable Size 1174406200 bytes
Database Buffers 872415232 bytes
Redo Buffers 5337088 bytes
Database mounted.
SQL> select switchover_status from v$database;
SWITCHOVER_STATUS
TO PRIMARY
SQL> select database_role from v$database;
DATABASE_ROLE
PHYSICAL STANDBY
On the other side I am trying to bring up the phyical standby database to primary:-
First I checked the switchover_status on standby database.
SQL> select switchover_status from v$database;
SWITCHOVER_STATUS
SWITCHOVER PENDING
SQL> alter database commit to switchover to primary;
alter database commit to switchover to primary
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-16139: media recovery required
Now I am in a situation where I have converted my primary to physical standby but physical standby-Primary is not happening..
Please advice me on this. I have checked the archive log status for both the boxes before switchover and they were in sync....
Your suggestions are required here.
Regards,
Arijit

Hi ,
With above approch there could be minor transaction loss & Need to rebuild stby , but you can make standby DB up as primary.
With current senario , check if suggested sequence is generated at primary & try to register it on stby
Also check if FAL_* is getting resolved
It looks sync issue you should have rebooted both DB's before starting switchover as a best practise along with 2/3 switches

OFT- Problem while Playback in Oracle Apps 11i

hi,
As earlier Oracle E-biz Application are not working in OFT8.5 but now in the latest version OFT9.0 as per the information it will work fine.
But i'm facing the problem while playback the Oracle E-biz Application.
I have recorded Order Management Process in Oracle Apps11i. At the time of recording its work fine.
Steps which i had done
1) Login into the application
2) Click on the Responsibility Order Management--> Sales Order
3) It opens the external Applet window
4) Open the Sales Order Form where i enter the Customer Name and add the line item for the customer and then book the order
Stop the Recording and then playback the script
It works perfectly fine till step3 but on Step4 what ever the action user had done on Sales Order Form it is not playing back that action and just close the form and generate the Pass Result.
So i want to know why it is not playback the action which user had done on the form.
I really appreciate if any one can give the solution to the problem

Thiru,
Which concurrent manager consumes the CPU usage? Are you able to identify it?
Any errors in the CM log file? Did you try to start the CM with diag=y and see if any errors are reported in the log files?
What happen to the CPU usage when you stop the CM?
I assume that you are running Purge Concurrent Manager/Requests on regular basis, so this should not be an issue here.
Please review the following notes, and see if it helps.

Facing a major problem while performing restoration of my mssql DB

Dear Experts,
I am facing a major problem while performing restoration of my mssql DB. The situation is like
1. I have successfully take full and transactional log backup in a external device using MSSQL Server Managemnt Studio.
Backup was successfully completed as per MSSQL Server Managemnt Studio message.
2. Try to restore the same using MSSQL Server Managemnt Studio. It is showing the following error
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: RESTORE cannot process database <DB_SID> because
it is in use by this session. It is recommended that the master database be used when
performing this operation.
I have followed the guidelines specified in the link
[SAP Help Link for Restoring the <SAPSID> Backup from a Device |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/f2/31ad56810c11d288ec0000e8200722/frameset.htm]
But everytime I am getting the same error message. I have checked with all options but there

Problem in sql developer while connecting to oracle 11g

when am creating a database connection with oracle 11g in sql developer editor it s throwing network adapter could not establish the connection
connection name test
user name system
password system
Role default
Host name localhost
Port 1521
SID orcl
Can any one help me to resolve the problem?
Thanks in advance

Those parameters probably aren't correct.
Is that 11g on your machine? Try to specify the real IP instead. And sure the listener is up?
Also sure about the SID and port?
Hope that helps,

Errors while copying File Oracle 11G installation on AIX 5L

Hi,
I just try to install oralce 11g on my AIX 5l machine. All requirements has been checked and are done.
While installation I get many Errors like "File not find:"
/oracle/SID/..../applications/WFMLRSVCApp.ear , wfjvlsnr.csh, wfmgrstop.csh ..etc.
I am Installing fresh Oracle 11G.What could be the problem?
Could you please give me some hints.
Many Thanks

Make sure you unzip both zipfiles into the SAME directory, e.g.:
cd /<whatever>
$ unzip aix.ppc64_11gR1_database_1of2.zip
$ unzip aix.ppc64_11gR1_database_2of2.zip
$ cd database
$ ./runInstaller

Unpredictable problem using XMLTYPE in Oracle 11g?

We recently upgraded from Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g, which caused some of our stored procedures to start acting funny.
Our database stores BLOBs containing XML data in a table. We then asynchronously convert these BLOBs into XMLTYPE objects, and use them to perform operations in our database. This logic started failing when we moved to 11g.
Our original code looked like this:
PROCEDURE submitTpfdd(shipmentDataId IN VARCHAR2) AS
     shipmentData XMLTYPE;
csid INTEGER;
shipmentName VARCHAR(128);
gk_namespaces VARCHAR(1024) := 'xmlns:a="http://my.app/1.0.0.0"';
BEGIN
SELECT NLS_CHARSET_ID('UTF8') INTO csid FROM dual;
SELECT XMLTYPE(tf.shipmentData, csid)
    INTO shipmentData
    FROM SHIPQ.SHIPMENT_FILE tf
    WHERE tf.shipment_id = shipmentDataId;
shipmentName := shipmentData.extract('/a:Shipment/shipmentName/text()', gk_namespaces).getStringVal();
... (more logic)
END submitTpfdd;When we switched to 11g, this code started frequently failing with an "unsupported character set" error. It happens about half the time, and it's unpredictable. It will sometimes pass and sometimes fail, even if the same BLOB is being read both times. I haven't been able to reproduce the error with any of XMLTYPE's other constructors.
Has anybody encountered similar behavior with the XMLTYPE in 11g? Should I submit a tracker?

I have created a SQL program which can be run independently to reproduce the problem.
DECLARE namespaces constant VARCHAR2(1024) := 'xmlns:a="http://morton.com/"';
CURSOR cursor0(reeves XMLTYPE) IS
SELECT EXTRACT(VALUE(t), 'text()').getstringval() AS

Failover not working while connecting to Oracle 11g database

Hi,
We have a J2EE application that connects to Oracle 11g database.
The connection URL we are using is as below
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION =(SDU=32768)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=abc.hostname.com)(PORT=1525))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST= xyz.hostname.com)(PORT=1525))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=PQR)))
The issue that we are facing is, the database failover is not working.The application only connects to the first host in the TNS entry.Evertime there is a failure in the connection to the first host,manual steps are required to swap the hosts.
This started happening after we upgraded Oracle DB from 9i to 11g.
We are using the client jar of 9i to connect to 11g. Could this be causing the problem?
Thanks In Advance.

Yes, you are right. Nothing else was updated.
The application still works as expected except the failover.If you are correct then I seriously doubt it has anything to do with java. It would be something to do with Oracle and/or network infrastructure.
If not then it is some small problem with the driver. You can try updating the driver but I wouldn't expect a fix.

My problem is vhen we try to load the database with data it takes forever so we tested this stuff
iops script run
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
lat INTEGER;
iops INTEGER;
mbps INTEGER;
BEGIN
-- DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CALIBRATE_IO (<DISKS>, <MAX_LATENCY>, iops, mbps, lat);

dbms_output.put_line('max_mbps = ' || mbps);
end;
Results
Warehouse database about 600GB data in it
max_iops = 82
latency = 11

LOW!!!
I installed a new database with just the exaple schemas on same disk /data and got theese results
max_iops = 25665
latency = 8
max_mbps = 517
Any one have some ideas what i should test or change?
/Jens Bäckström (Noob)Dba

The second database IOTEST is a small test db.
This is how i did the test
i stopped the DWRPD01 wich is the dw database.
i start the IOTEST DATABSE and run the iops script.
after the run i stoped IOTEST and started DWPRD02 and run the same script.
i am sure the database files was on the same san disk group . but ofc i can not besure that the data be on the same physical disk in the SAN cabinett.
Ill check ur other questions as soon as i have some ansvers
and thanks for helping me out.

2. if I don't remove UNION ALL, but remove the following line.

Any Idea what am I missing ?
My main task is to pass multiple strings to use 'IN' Operator in query.
Please help me out.

..is the "THE" operator still supported?
I know this was the case in Oracle 8i, but later?... you can try using the "TABLE" operator instead.

Well, the obviously solution is to use separate Apple ID's for iCloud.

When to change COMPATIBLE parameter while upgrading to Oracle 11G

We are planning to upgrade from Oracle 10.2.0.4 on AIX to Oracle 11.2.0.2 soon.
While reading oracle upgrade documents and from oracle upgrade blog, it is mentioned that once we change compatible parameter,
we will not be able to catdwgrd.sql to downgrade.
However, if we don't change compatible parameter after an upgrade, all the testing efforts during upgrade process wont be complete
as we may need to do another round of testing after changing this value.
So what is the best time for changing this compatible parameter? 1 week or 2 weeks after upgrade?
We are considering catdwgrd.sql as our option to fallback if something goes wrong.
Thank You
Sarayu

Hi,
It's a difficult question. If your applications are validated with 11gR2, if your OS is certified to work with Oracle 11gR2, if you adjusted the requirements etc. it will work. Will it work 100% well ? Maybe not but downgrading is really an extreme solution. 11gR2 is a fully supported version and anyway you will obtain efficient support from Oracle if you encountered a bug etc.
If you have doubts change when you are sure every critical activity/charge you expect went well for example. We cannot know if it will be after 1 week or 2 weeks : it's up to you.
Be sure you check what Tom says about the COMPATIBLE parameter (it's interesting to know exactly what it covers, it does not cover the optimizer features etc.) : http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:485421569569

Thanks,

Given below steps in oracle doc for UMS configuration. you can try the same
Configuring UMS Provider for Sending Notifications (Optional)
To configure Unified Messaging Service (UMS) provider for sending notifications:
Edit the oim-config.xml file by using MBeans. To do so:
Log in to Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Navigate to Identity and Access, oim.
Right-click oim(11.1.1.x.x), and select System MBean Browser.
In the System MBean Browser, navigate to Application Defined MBeans, oracle.iam, Server: oim_server1, Application:oim, XMLConfig, Config, XMLConfig.NotificationConfig, EmailProvider.
Click the EmailProvider attribute, and replace the value oracle.iam.notification.provider.EmailServiceProvider with oracle.iam.notification.provider.UMSEmailServiceProvider.
Click Apply.
Configure the Email Provider Instance - UMS IT resource with the UMS Web service details. To do so:
Login to Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console, and navigate to Advanced Administration.
Click the Configuration tab, click Resource Management, and then click Manage IT Resource.
Click Search. The list of IT resources is displayed.
For the Email Provider Instance - UMS IT resource, click the Edit icon. The Edit IT Resource Details and Parameters page is displayed.
Specify values in the following fields:
Web service URL: The URL of the UMS web service to be invoked. For example, http://<SOA_host>:<SOA_Port>/ucs/messaging/webservice.
Policies: The OWSM policy attached to the given web service. Leave this field as blank.
Username: The username provided in the security header. If no policy is attached, then leave this field as blank.
Password: The password provided in the security header. If no policy is attached, then leave this field as blank.
Click Apply, and then close the popup window.
Configure UMS Server for using a mail server other than the local LINUX mail server, which is picked by default. For example, to setup the mail server to use stbeehive email server:
Stop the Linux Local sendmail email server running on the host, if this is a LINUX host, by running the following command:
/usr/local/redhat/packages/aime/ias/run_as_root "/sbin/service sendmail stop"
Configure Mail Server information in UMS Email Driver. To do so:
i. Login to Oracle Enterprise Manager.
ii. Expand User Messaging Service, and select usermessagingdriver-email (soa_server1).
iii. From the Driver-Specific Configuration list, select Email Driver Properties.
iv. Configure the following mandatory fields:
OutgoingMailServer: The name of the SMTP server, for example, mailserver.mycompany.com.
OutgoingMailServerPort: The port number of the SMTP server, for example, 465.
OutgoingMailServerSecurity: The security setting used by the SMTP server. Possible values can be None, TLS, or SSL.
OutgoingUsername: Any valid username similar to your mail client configuration, such as in the [email protected].
OutgoingPassword: The password used for SMTP authentication. This consists of the following fields:
Type of Password: Select Indirect Password, Create New User.
Indirect Username/Key: Enter a unique string, for example, OIMEmailConfig. This masks the password and does not expose it in clear text in the configuration file.
Password: Enter a valid password for this account.
v. Click Apply.
Right-click usermessagingdriver-email (soa_server1), and select Control, Shutdown.
Allow at least 2 minutes to pass, after which you can restart the email driver. To so so, right-click usermessagingdriver-email (soa_server1), and select Control, Restart.

Problem while connecting to oracle

Hello sir,
Me Jr Dba, ours is .net application .Today i have installed oracle on the system
in which application is running .After the installation when we r opening the .net
application we got the following error
Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.
Provider is unable to function until these components are installed.
could we pls suggest the above
Regards,
Vamsi

No version, no help.
However, this error message usually occurs using a Mickeysucks driver from the Stone Age. This driver expects the ORAWIN.. dll which has been replaced in later versions of Oracle.
Not an Oracle problem. Just the usual problem of not reading installation documentation, upgrading only one component instead of all, and not paying attention. Usually this ends up in a forum like this one, where others may resolve the problem for free, as the 'company' couldn't be bothered to buy support.

what els I have to do.Well, what have you tried?
You need the Oracle JDBC driver jar (ojdbc14.jar) which you can download from Oracle or somewhere I believe....I can't remember where I got it. Anyway, google for the Oracle JDBC driver and you should find it.
You will probably need to read up on JDBC as I can't believe you even did that before you realised you needed a driver to connect. Good luck.

Nope.....post to forum, reply to forum.
