Question to Oracle Team

I would like to know which linux distribution may I use to have Oracle products running? Which linux distribution/version is used by the Oracle team? I don't want to get the problems I'm having now always when I try to upgrade the Oracle. This not happens with other comercial OS's like Solaris and WindowsNT.
I have the same problem

Use Red Hat 6.2.
I've been using RH 6.2 for a while now, and never had any problem related to oracle.

Oracle Team, SCHEMA DEMOS NEEDED

Hello Oracle Team,
I've been trying to use the schema parser for the last month. I've read multiple messages on this news group where people like me whine that they can't get anything to work. There are only like 3 examples that are downloaded with your parser. Obviously, with no other learning resources (besides blindly testing it to see how it reacts) more examples are needed.
Obviously there was some sort of Q.A. that the parser had to go through where it was tested before you posted it. Are those tests laying around somewhere on someone's hard drive. Could you please post some of those examples to this news group? A lot of people like me would really appreciate it.
You have responded to a couple of my previous questions by writing,
"The new beta was released today (October 26). It should fix the problem."
Well I tried to use the new beta for about 6 hours this morning and it didn't fix any of these same problems...
unique, key, keyref, extension, required(for attributes).
I know that the new parser has to work or you wouldn't keep responding to my messages saying it would. Please give some examples of how to use it.
Please post the java files, xsd files and xml files as examples of how to use these features. Please post examples that will run correctly through the parser. Also please post modified xml files that will crash the parser.

I've gone to the internet site... http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/
and went down the list of functionality that should be in a schema parser. Is this what oracle is basing their parser on? If not where is the standard oracle is going off of?
I've gone through this schema primer and I've tested the oracle schema parser. I've found that about 70% of it is not implemented or I just couldn't figure out how to get the parser to work. Also I've found there a couple of things that did work in the parser, just that the syntax was different. I've found these things (I realize that there are typos here but you'll get the basic idea).....

use="required" Partially Working...
required actually work now for attributes, you can even type check with it now!-BUT
ONLY AT THE TOP DEFINITIONS LEVEL. I think it's supposed to work inside nested definitions.
I found some really really weird activity with nested definitions though. If I define an
element having 2 attributes and the element is nested... if I say that both elements are
required, then if in the xml file I don't use either I will get the same buggy activity.
The parser doesn't care. BUT if I only declare 1 of the attributes and NOT the other then
the parser gets mad! So, the parser will only check nested level elements attributes if
there are more than one attributes declared and in the xml file I only specify one. HOW NICE!

Questions on Oracle Logical DB Structure

Hi friends
I just started to read oracle architecure, I have the following questions on Oracle Logical DB Stucture
Can any help me to find out the answers for it.
1. What Table Directory portion in Oracle Data Block store?
I read some where "Table Directory portion in data block contains information about the table having rows in this block"
Is Data Dictionary also contain the information about the Tables and where it stored? If so why Data block also need to contain the same information.
2. Does Table Directory portion in Oracle Data Block contains details about each Column and Row description or only the general details about the table
3. How many blocks will form a Extent. Is it configurable ?, Where we need to configure whether we need specify it in Storage Parameters or in some configuration files?
4. How are Bitmap used to track used and Free space in Locally managed Tablespaces
5. Do Extent also span files(ORA files)
i.e. 'Table can span across ORA files' whether it means part of a Extent may present in one Data file and other part in another data file.

5. Do Extent also span files(ORA files) i.e. 'Table can span across ORA files' whether it means part of a Extent may present in one Data file and other part in another data file.
A table Extents can span into multiple datafiles. But, a single extent can't span into multiple datafiles.
4. How are Bitmap used to track used and Free space in Locally managed TablespacesA Locally Managed Tablespace is a tablespace that manages its own extents maintaining a bitmap in each datafile to keep track of the free or used status of blocks in that datafile. Each bit in the bitmap corresponds to a block or a group of blocks. When the extents are allocated or freed for reuse, Oracle changes the bitmap values to show the new status of the blocks. These changes do not generate rollback information because they do not update tables in the data dictionary (except for tablespace quota information), unlike the default method of Dictionary - Managed Tablespaces.
** Reduced recursive space management
** Reduced contention on data dictionary tables
** No rollback generated
** No coalescing required
3. How many blocks will form a Extent. Is it configurable ?, Where we need to configure whether we need specify it in Storage Parameters or in some configuration files?

Interview questions for oracle dba

Hi I am trying to find teh interview questions for oracle dba .
What will be your answer to the following questions. Can somebody shed some light...
. What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
·     Did you use online or off-line backups?
·     What version of Oracle were you running?
·     Haw many databases and what sizes?
·     If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
·     If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
·     Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
Thx
KK

. What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
I have got a checklist, designed for my daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly tasks. For example, in the daily checklist tasks, I check for the alert log file, competion and correction of my exports and operating system backups. DB space situation, Antivirus status, standby database status, space on disks, any rogue queries etc.
· Did you use online or off-line backups?
Both.
· What version of Oracle were you running?
8i(not any more), 9i, 10g
· Haw many databases and what sizes?
8 databases, ranging from 1 TB to 10 GB. I have segregated them into OLTP production, testing, cm, and development and a Datawarehouse.
· If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
How much they could afford to lose data or they want zero data loss and also I will get their requirements about down time and up time of database.
· If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
First I will identify it, then see to it what exactly it is doing, capture that situation and then either try to release the locks(if its a blocking or blocked session), or kill the session, if its hanging on a runaway query.
· Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
Oracle passes the ACID rule with distinction as compared to the other databases. Moreover, the multiversion read consistency, recovery, flexibility and challenges of Oracle are matchless.

URGENT : Challenge questions query: Oracle Access Manager 10g

Hi all,
This is a query regarding password challenge questions in Oracle Access Manager 10g. We have created password policies for a specific container in OID (say cn=xxx,cn=users,dc=oracle,dc=com) and it is working fine.
In order to exclude certain set of users (say user ABC ) for password policies, we have set the obpasswordchangeflag to false for those users which are in same container for which password policy is created.
When we try to login to the application with the user say ABC, I am not seeing any reset password page - I am happy till this point. However it is showing Configure Challenge questions page. Is there any way to bypass this page? Or is this the expected behavior?
This is very urgent and prompt reply is very much appreciated.
-Mahendra

Hi Mahendra,
This is expected behaviour. In order to exclude the password policy management for some certains user for particular domain/container. please add the below configuration parameter to your OAM10g password policy.
Password Policy Filter Field (!(|(cn=xxx)(cn=abc)))

Questions on Oracle E-Business Suite JAAS impl with ADF (Patch 8571001)

I am working at a customer site, where we are developing extensions to EBS R12 using ADF 11g. I have some questions around Oracle E-Business Suite JAAS implementation (Patch 8571001). The answers to these would help us choose the right path for the overall project.
1. How much integration is possible between ADF JAAS roles and the EBS User management roles? If we implement Oracle E-Business Suite JAAS implementation using this patch, how would the component/field level security work in ADF? Will ADF pages refer to roles in EBS UMX tables for field level security?
2. Is there any detailed documentation as to how to Oracle E-Business Suite JAAS implementation works. I have read the metalink note # 974949.1; however it does not provide enough details on UMX/EBS integration. Any pointers would be really helpful.
Thanks a lot.

A few question regarding oracle Vm (and virtualizing Db 11g)

Hi,
I've just started evaluating Oracle vm for our next deployment.
One of the systems I'll need to virtualize is Oracle db 11g. As far as I understand the oracle DB template only comes with ASM? I would prefer to use LVM. What is the best way to install db into virtual machine without asm? Should I start with EL 5.2 and configure it, or could I somehow use the EL that comes with the template?
Regarding LVM: I'm planning to create different volume groups, each with just one logical volume. These volumes would be mounted to guest as /u01, /u02 ... and so on. All volumes will be created on mirrored disks/partitions. Later, I could just move, expand, strip volumes as db usage will require. Does that sound ok?
And another question regardin oracle vm: in the manual, chapter 4.6.2 says: "Install an operating system. This may be done a number of ways.
■ Install an Oracle VM Server-enabled operating system from CD-ROMs...."
Is there a list of server-enabled operating systems anywhere? And maybe more detailed explanation of this step?
Thanks
Jernej

The Database template is designed to automatically configure and provision the database with ASM and would probably take longer to dismantle.

All volumes will be created on mirrored disks/partitions. Later, I could just move, expand, strip volumes as db usage will require. Does that sound ok?It sounds OK, but ASM does all of that and more. It is also faster (particularly on Oracle VM, as it uses direct access to the disks). ASM also does automatic data levelling and striping. With 11g, I would strongly recommand ASM over LVM for your storage.
Is there a list of server-enabled operating systems anywhere? And maybe more detailed explanation of this step?There isn't a list -- that's possibly badly worded as well. If you don't want to use one of the paravirtualized Oracle Enterprise Linux templates available on eDelivery, you can use any operating system installation CD in ISO format. Note that installations from an ISO are done as fully virtualized guests (i.e. hardware virtualized) and require Intel VT-x or AMD-s extensions to be present and enabled. Hardware virtualized guests are also not as fast as paravirtualized Linux guests.
Oracle only certifies Database 11g running on Enterprise Linux in paravirtualized mode. The simplest way to deploy this is to use the provided templates.

Few questions regarding Oracle Scorecard and strategy management.

Hi,
I have following questions regarding Oracle Scorecard and strategy management:
1. What are the ways in which i can show status of a KPI, like we have colors and symbols, what are others?
2. can we keep log of KPIs, store them, keep report of feedback/action taken on that?
3. Does Scorecard and strategy management have ability to retain history on feedback and log of
entries i.e. date/time, user name?
4. Does Scorecard and strategy management have ability to use common mathematical formulas e.g. median, average, percentiles. Describe.?
Thanks in advance for your help.

@oracle team; forms server help desparately needed

hi
my company is trying to migrate client machines to linux. our setup should be the following:
database <-> forms server <-> linux client with applet viewer
v9.2.....................v9i.................debian 3.0, j2sdk1.3
i am working on this setup for some months(!) now but i cannot get the clients to communicate stable with the rest of the setup.
problem: quite frequently the appletviewer will just hang and cause the forms server to create a
f90webm_dump_`$PID` file
in its working directory containing the following information:
[Mon Jan 20 21:58:29 2003 CET]::Client Status [ConnId=0, PID=10033]
>> Network connection to client failed: timeout on connection
the people working on the client machines are quite quickly inputting data into our databases. the appletviewer will hang more often on machines < 500 MHz but it also hangs on machines with more than 1.5 GHz and 512 MB DDR
i have literally tried everything:
i tried these java versions:
1.1, 1.3_x, 1.4.1 from sun, blackdown, ibm and even the one that came with the forms server on the clients
i tried to tune every setting on the forms server and in the jvm.cfg. i even tried to install the forms server on the clients so that i would have one tcp connection less to definitely exclude network failure as a possible reason.
i tried to use the PREEMPT_CLOSE setting, i even patched the kernels (low latency patch), analysed megabytes of debug logging, tried to strace the appletviewer to find WHY it keeps hanging!!!!
i tried to use different linux versions for best compatibility on the clients as well as on the forms server:
debian potato, woody, sarge, sid
suse 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
redhat 7.2, 7.3
i have read almost ALL documentation you could possibly read to find the reason of this problem.
dear oracle team
PLEASE just tell me that you have even tested this product and that you know how to make it work in a stable way. we can even pay you money to give us the solution. we have been using oracle forms for 7 years now and we want to stick with it. but our clients HAVE to be able to run the linux OS.
i have posted this problem 2 or 3 times already but somehow either noone seems to read this or noone has ever tried to use a three tier setup with linux on the middle and the client tier.
as i said i have wasted MONTHS already trying to get this to work and i am out of ideas what could cause this.
thanks for ANY reaction
armin walland

sorry for not responding a few days, i didnt have the possibility to do so.
if you access and run the application from a Windows
client using JInitiator, what happens.i have tried that of course and it seemed to be stable. (no hang in about 2 and a half days). i dont think it is a problem on the forms server itself...maybe just some setting that doesnt cooperate well with the appletviewer.
Since we don't
certify Forms9i with appletviewer, we didn't test it
there.thats what i thought to be honest....since you say "we"; do you work for oracle?
So first thing to do is to check if the
problem is a client issue or a server side problem.seems more like a client proble to me though....somehow it looks like some deadlock or race condition, but im not a programmer so this could be a completely wrong impression.
If youi can, can you try a test on a Windows client?as i said b4, we tried that and it seemed to work finely but it was to test the server and ensure it isnt a complete misconfiguration issue :)
rgds, armin

Challange For Oracle Team

To,
Oracle Team,
I have a Problem in Reports while running Report on web using
web.show_document. It shows all the parameters I have passed to
report which are must not be visible to the user (like userid ,
password). How to override this problem If possible give
example.
Thanks,
With Warm Regards,
Virag Patel.

hello,
there are different approaches for that :
a) use run_report_object
b) use a frameset
c) use CGICMD.DAT cgi-keys
without knowing your environment it's hard to tell, which
approach is fitting your requirements.

A question about Oracle 1g R2 Enterprise Edition license

Dear all,
I have a question about Oracle license and I would appreciate if you could kindly help me.
I have installed an Oracle server (11g R2 Enterprise edition) on a linux virtual machine. The pc used for this purpose
is my enterprise laptop (therefore a professional and not a personal Computer). However, I use the this Oracle Server
only for learning purpose, that is, only for running the examples in my Oracle Press books (SQL, PL/SQL and some
administration tasks) just for learning the stuff.
There is absolutely no data related to my enterprise, stored or used on this server. Whenever I want to work with my
enterprise data, I use the Oracle server of the enterprise which has of course the appropriate license. So as I said, I
use this Enterprise server on the virtual machine only for running queries/programs in my Oracle Press books just for
learning and I'm the sole person who uses this server (no remote connection for other users).
The reason for which I needed to install this server on my PC was that our DBA couldn't provide a training environment
for me with all required privileges and functionalities.
Am I supposed to buy a license for this installed Enterprise server on my virtual machine?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh
