Reconfigure of Oracle Setup

Hi,
We are running Oracle 7.3 on NT and running a third party application, and our system hangs up sometimes while we are doing some AP vouchers on this third applications.
Hence we are planning for reconfiguring the Oracle setups so that we split up the datafiles and executibles to avoid I/O contentions. In order to do this we are planning to
1. Keep the Oracle Program files on a drive separate from our datafiles
2. Keep redo logs on a drive separate from datafiles with a drive controller
3. Keep the rollback segments and temp tablespace files on a separate drive from the main tablespaces.
Essentially we want to distribute the I/O work to serval drives.
Now my question is " Is it the right way of doing things", and next what Oracle Program files should we move?
Can anybody through some lite on this.
I do not know where to post this question hence I am posting on this forum.

Please verify your advice before giving it.
A quick look at the 10gR2 docs at tahiti show the following:
"Prior to Oracle Database 10g Oracle Streams AQ time manager processes were controlled by init.ora parameter AQ_TM_PROCESSES"
AQ_TM_PROCESSES is ignored in 10g.

There is a java utility that can take an XML file that you have generated from an fmb file previously and compile it back to an fmb file.
Its called frmxml2f.bat. You'll find it in $Oracle_home/bin

Seeking recommendations on server/Oracle setup

I am seeking recommendations on server/Oracle setup for our environment.
We currently are running 4 seperate servers for Oracle and are looking to streamline our setup to reduce overhead as well as furture growth.
Our current setup consists of Oracle 10gR2 Standard Edition running on the following platforms as the backend db for 3rd party apps. OEM is also colocated with the db.
RP5470, HPUX 11i (64bit OS and Oracle) - servers IBM Clearquest user dbs, @ 120 users
DL580 - Win 2003R2 (64bit OS and Oracle) - production db for BMC Remedy. @ 500 users
DL320 - Win 2003R2 (64bit OS and 32bit Oracle) - dev db for BMC Remedy. @ 5 users
DL320 - Win 2003 (32bit OS and Oracle) - test db for BMC Remedy. @ 3 users
We are also planning to support additonal dbs for applications such as IBM DOORS in the near future.
Any and all feedback welcome.

I was surprised to see the answer to this post. How could you come out with this architectural proposal?, Two UNIX servers … development and production … ? First of all there are four servers listed here with different workloads.
By itself Unix is not magical, I could setup a “UNIX” box on my laptop and that doesn't mean any thing at all. I could setup a development and a production environment and that does not mean any thing …
As you can see the OP already has a “UNIX” box here, HPUX 11i, so ? Lots of growth potential?
Sorry, I don't want to be rude, it's just that I don't know what surprises me the most, the question itself or the answer given.
By the way, out of the so huge list of "UNIX" flavors are you talking about?

Reconfigure the Oracle streams incase of Server move from 192 to 191

Hi All,
We have bi directioanl oracle streams setup between two databases.
Recently, We have moved our server from cin192 to cin191. After server moved we checked the all the streams process.
Capture process shows Wating for Dictionary Redo First SCN XXXXXXXXX on both the database.
When i checked these SCN ,i got cin192 archive log.
Can you please help how can i resolve these issue..
Do we need to reconfigure the streams or we can assign new SCN to capture process without dropping anything with cin191 server archive log file...
Means , How to point new server archive log file to capture process..
Any help would be appreciated...
It's urgent...Plzzzzzzzzzz Help.
Thanks,
Singh

Hi Singh,
If I would know what cin191 and cin192 are, I would probably be able to redirect you to the right forum.
If you are looking for Oracle streams, I suggest you to try the Database - General forum: General Database Discussions
If is Oracle replication what you are looking for, please check here: Replication
This is the Berkeley DB High Availability forum ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/rep/intro.html )

Ideal Oracle setup for education

Hi All,
I am new to Oracle and would like to know if anyone has set up an evironment at home to learn Oracle database basics on. I am interested in learning how to set up and administer a database and eventually develop on it.
I have a couple computers that I can use for this and a copy of Windows 2000 Server and Windows XP Pro. I can also install Red Hat Linux 9 if it is recommended.
Please forgive me if this has been posted a million times.
Doug

Any of the operating systems should be sufficient-- I would tend to suggest that you use whatever you're most comfortable with. If you're a Windows guy, use Windows, if you're a Linux guy, use Linux.
I would suggest that you probably want to start learning with Oracle 9.2. Oracle 10g is available for Linux, but there are a lot more people, and a lot more papers, that deal with 9i at the moment.

Retrieve data from a synonym in oracle database through db connect

Hi Everyone,
I have created certain synonym for some tables in oracle. I want to retrieve data from it through db connect but where through source system and then selecting database tables, only tables and views are available.
Synonyms are not available to create data sources and retrieve the data from it. Why is it so. Is this a limitation of db connect.
Can anyone please let me know about it.
Thanks,
Joshua.

Hi,
You want to import data from an external Oracle database into your BW 3.X. To do this, you can connect the external database to the BW 3.X release as a source system using the external database connect. BW 3.X here represents BW 3.0, BW 3.1 and BW 3.5 because in other (DB relevant) parts, all 3 versions are based on the same source code.
General information
The above function allows you to load data from an external Oracle database (not a BW database) into your BW 3.0 system.
There may also be constellations which cannot be used directly through the DB Connect access. However, it should be possible to find an adequate, customer-specific solution for most of these scenarios.
In such situations, the resulting work falls into the area of Consulting and cannot be handled via Support.
Successful implementation of a connection requires corresponding expertise and experience in the use of the source database in the areas:
                - Tools
                - SQL syntax
                - DB-specific functions
Corresponding knowledge of the source application is also required to ensure that semantically relevant data arrives in the BW system.
Procedure
You should execute the following steps to connect the source system (Q) to the BW system (BW):
Installing the client software on an BW application server
                     Of course, you only need to install the client software if you are using BW with a non-Oracle database.
                     Use the Oracle setup program on the database CD (runInstaller on Unix) to start the OracleInstaller. Follow the program instructions and the DB installation instructions to install the Oracle Client software on BW.
Testing connection setup from BW to Q
                     After you install the client software on BW, try to set up a connection from BW to the server on Q. You may need to adjust the tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora files for this, to introduce the Oracle systems (to which contact should be made) to BW. You can test the connection by executing the command "tnsping QDB" on BW to check whether the client has established contact to the QDB database on the Q system.
Creating a separate U user in Q
                     We recommend that you create a separate U user in Q for connection to BW. This means that authorization and administration questions can be solved centrally.
Displaying data sources in Q for the U user
                     To provide U data for users other than U, you can create views on other user tables as user U:
                     CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW viewname AS
                       SELECT * FROM QDB.tablename
                     You may have to grant SELECT privileges to user U in the QDB schema:
                        GRANT select ON QDB.tablename TO U
                     Of course, you can also restrict or reformat data in the view arrangement (for example, change from internal date format into the SAP date format). JOIN operations using several tables are also available.
                     !!! Synonyms do not yet work!!!
                     Synonyms that you can create as described below are another option for providing a complete table for the user U:
                       CREATE SYNONYM synoname FOR QDB.tablename
                     !!! Synonyms do not (yet) work!!!
                     After you have displayed the require data for user U, you can simply use
                       SELECT * FROM <view or table>
                     on the Q system to check which data is returned.
                     You can now open a link to Q as user U in the BW system with SQLPLUS and check, using the same SELECT, whether this data is also seen in the Oracle client. If this is not the case, there is probably a connection problem.
Creating a connection from BW to Q in BW
Including data sources of user U user in Q in BW.
Solution
Supported BW, Basis and BW 3.0B database versions, Basis 6.20 Support Package 2 (or higher)
      Oracle 8.1 (or higher, see below)
Possible problems
- Synonyms do not (yet) work!
Up to now, only tables and views have been used as data sources for the DB Connect from the R3 Basis. As soon as synonyms are also used in the Basis, you will be able to convert created views (or even replicated tables) to synonyms as a workaround.
With Basis 6.40 at the earliest, therefore as of BW 3.5, you will also be able to use synonyms. Until then, the following will help:
CREATE VIEW <view_on_synonym> AS SELECT * FROM <synonym>
- The source DB must have at least the release version of the BW DB.
Oracle only ensures the support of client-server links if the version of the client is not higher than that of the server. So if BW has Oracle version 8.1 and, as in the case of Dbconnect, is run as a client against the server of the source database, the source database must have at least release Oracle 8.1 or higher.
Of course, you have the option to install the Oracle client software of a lower version and then use this for the DB connect. This is also the procedure used to work with a DB connect on external databases of other vendors.
Furthermore, the implementation of the DBconnect function in BW uses SAP Basis functions. Specifications of Oracle 8.1 database catalogs are used here. The source database must therefore have at least Version 8.1.
- Oracle Client Software Version
If you want to connect from an Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, for the DB connect you naturally use the client software that you already installed on each application server.
If you want to connect from a non-Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, check item 3 of note 521230 to see which Oracle client software version is released with your BW R3 kernel and use this version.
- Date and time fields in Oracle and their conversion into SAP-compatible column formats
Example with a DATE field:
Since a SAP table does not have a DATE field (date values are NUMC(8) and time specifications are NUMC(6)), we will use the Oracle DBA_TABLES system table as an example.
    SQL> desc dba_tables;
The Oracle DBA_TABLES system table has a LAST_ANALYZED field. This is a DATE type field and is recognized as a date field of 7 characters by DBA_CONNECT. However, the import does not work because the DATE is a 7-byte conglomerate of "...century, year, month, date, hour, minute and second." (extract from the Oracle documentation).
To make this DATE field legible for DB connect, you must use the TO_CHAR function in a VIEW. This should display the following examples:
SQL> select LAST_ANALYZED from dba_tables
      where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The formatting used here is the default used implicitly by SQLPLUS.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'YYYYMMDD') as dat from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format YYYYMMDD and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a date.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'HH24MISS') as tim from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format HHMMSS and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a time.
You can use the following example for more detailed experiments:
SQL> select to_char(
       TO_DATE('03-FEB-2001 04:05:06','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
       'YY-MM-DD HH24-MI-SS') as datim from dual;
with the result:
DATIM
01-02-03 04-05-06
When you create a VIEW and use the TO_CHAR function (or other functions), you should easily be able to avoid problems with the interpretation of date/time specifications (and other reformatting).
Details about the functions and the formats are contained in the Oracle documentation.
- Special characters
A words that contain special characters can only be imported correctly if the code pages in BW and in the source system are identical. If the code pages are not the same, DB Connect can be used if the characters to be imported appear under the first 127 characters of the character set.
The use of multibyte code pages in the source system for saving data using character sets with more than 256 characters (Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, Korean, Chinese, Tagalog, Khmer, Arabic, Cherokee, and so on) can cause the characters to become corrupt.
For questions concerning the code pages, also refer to the FAQ note 606359 and question/answer 19 that appears there.

Error while installing oracle 10.2.0.3 in the laptop, which has already 9i

Hi all,
i have an error while installing 10g in laptop which has already have 9i on it.

Oracle Installation or Uninstallation Solutions For Windows 95/98/2000/ME/NT/XP

You must read carefully the following steps here. If you previously installed any Oracle's products on your machine, I strongly recommend you to clean up thoroughly before install the new products.
================================================================
Uninstallation
The easiest way to remove ALL traces of Oracle software, for an 8i installation, is:
(1) Using regedit, remove the key \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
(2) Remove all the Oracle services (usually called Ora-something) from \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.
(3) Go to the ORACLE_HOME directory (usually C:\Oracle\Ora81). Go to the BIN directory beneath this. Rename the file OCIW32.DLL to something like OCIW32.OLD.
(4) Reboot your box.
(5) Once you have logged on again, delete the directories C:\Program Files\Oracle and C:\Oracle.
(6) Right-click on My Computer, select Properties->Environment. Edit the environmental variable PATH to remove all refernces to files in the two directories you have just deleted.
(7) Remove the Oracle folders from your Start menu.
*** Obviously, using regedit on your machine always entails risks, and I won't be held responsible if you end up trashing your system. However, the above procedure is one I have used many times with complete success. You have been warned! ;) ***
As to logging on, the "standard" Oracle accounts are:
SYS/change_on_install (SYSDBA - database owner)
SYSTEM/manager (Owns various VIEWs and utility PACKAGEs)
and (optionally):
SCOTT/tiger (Training account containing some sample tables)
If you're using PO8i on the local machine, you shouldn't need to worry about setting up NET*8 (Oracle's networking protocols)
=================================================================
Windows 95 and 98
This will remove all Oracle products, Oracle services, and Oracle registry entries from your computer.
Complete the following steps to create a Clean Machine. Backup any relevant databases before proceeding!
On Windows 95 and Windows 98:
1. Ensure you shutdown your Oracle. Right click on the Oracle Icon in the toolbar and click on the shutdown option.
2. Un-install all your Oracle products if possible. Use universal installer to do that. Ignore this step if you dont have universal installer on your machine.
3. In regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
4. Delete the ORACLE key.
5. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and remove your %ORACLE_HOME%\bin and JRE paths from the path setting.
6. From the Windows Explorer (or from the command prompt), delete the Oracle directory (Oracle Base).
7. Delete <system_drive>:\Program Files\Oracle (from the Windows NT Explorer or from the command prompt).
8. Delete Icons from <system_drive>: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle - <HOME> and <system_drive>:\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\Oracle Installation Products. Where <HOME> is the previous HOME name.
9. Reboot your computer.
On Windows NT:
1. Ensure you are logged in as a user with Administrator privileges.
2. Stop all Oracle Services through Control Panel Services. Use universal installer to un-install your Oracle products. Ignore un-install if you dont have universal installer on your machine.
3. Using regedit (at the command prompt, type regedit), go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE and delete the ORACLE key.
4. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services, and remove all keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services that begin with ORACLE.
5. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application, and remove all keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application that begin with ORACLE.
6. Close regedit.
7. From the Control Panel, open System.
8. If JRE was installed by Oracle, remove the %ORACLE_HOME%\BIN path and the JRE path. For example, you may see a path similar to this one: C:\ORACLE\ORAxx\BIN;G: \Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\bin. Go to Start > Control Panel > System > Environment tab. Click on the system variable path and modify the path.
9. Delete Icons from <system_drive>:\Winnt\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle - <HOME> and <system_drive>:\Winnt\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle Installation Products. Where <HOME> is the previous HOME name.
10. Delete <system_drive>:\Program Files\Oracle (from the Windows NT Explorer or from the command prompt).
11. Reboot your computer.
12. Delete all ORACLE_BASE directories (You can find the Oracle homes listed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ORACLE_HOMES).

affected.
Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The failure typically is that the affected application simply
terminates.
Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~
Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the
post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these
tools with "-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify
"-nojit" for
some of the products.
The following workaround works for the Windows operating
system:
a. Copy only the install directory from the CD to the hard
disk ,say, e:\temp.
b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following modifications
(Assuming CD
drive is f:)
* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to the CD
instead of a
relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:\stage\products.jar)
* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
JRE_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles
\Expanded)
* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
OUI_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataF
iles\Expanded
* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit" as the
first argument.
(i.e., JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^^^^^
* Other entries should remain the same
c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on your hard
drive (i.e.
e:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe). This will use the
modified
oraparam.ini and pick up the information from the CD since
the absolute
locations are specified.
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database
during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will
not be launched
during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and
there is no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration
Assistant if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been
successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8
Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for
the most recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually.
NOTE: the OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one
with the most
recent date, which should be the jre process being used for
Net8CA, not the
one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing through
the installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify the
configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the
Start Menu.
Once installation is complete, each of the following files in
the ORACLE_HOME
needs to be modified:
assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
bin\elogin.cl
bin\owm.cl
ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
network\tools\netasst.cl
network\tools\netca.cl
owm\install\instelogin.cl
owm\install\instowm.cl
Edit the contents of the above files to add "-nojit" as shown
below:
Command=("C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\BIN\JREW" -nojit
-classpath ....
this is the only thing you need to add --> ^^^^^^
Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA from
the Start Menu.
Patches
~~~~~~~
Currently there is not a patched installer available to deal
with this
problem, the workaround listed above must be used.

The solution of making a local copy of the installation CD on

Windows ME
Solution to the installation of Oraclei8.1.7 PE in Windows Millennium
Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.7 PE into
Windows Millennium.
As an unsupported workaround, you may add the following line
to the [compatibility95] section of win.ini prior to
installation:
Jrew=0x00080000
After setup is complete, Oracle will recommend a reboot.
There is one additional step necessary prior to reboot;
Oracle may add a non-standard path statement to the
autoexec.bat file. Please modify this SET PATH
statement to use short-filenames if you find a quoted
LFN string represented as part of the path. You can
confirm that the path was merged successfully into the
registry after reboot by examining the PATH variable
in the registry at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment
Symptoms of a missing Oracle path statement in the registry are that Net8 Easy Config will not launch.
Please note that Oracle does not support the use of this
product in Windows ME, but have authorized these workarounds
for testing purposes only.

Windows XP Home Edition
Oracle 8i is not certified on windows XP. Even if yes, it must be Windows XP Professional.
You can install Oracle8i on windows XP Home Edition, try like this:
1 - Copy your Oracle CD into hard disk in your
machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into C:\Oracle\ ...
2 - Search the two files named Symcjit.dll on the D drive (where you have copied Oracle8i. You can found them in (example):
C:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll (make sure to find two files and rename them)
4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from C:\Oracle\setup.exe
===============================================================
When Oracle 8i dies on the install or the installer hangs, here is the fix for this, make sure that you have Service Pack 2 installed.
1. \JRE\1.3.1\ From Sun. (You can download java program at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/download-jre-windows.html)
2. Install the java file.
There is also a problem in the installation disk.
3. Make a copy of the Oracle 8i disk on the local hard disk.
4. Do a search for the two files called symcjit.dll and rename them for example: symcjit.old.
5. Install Oracle from the win32 directory.

Hi,Beau Leo, I am having problem installing Oracle9i Database Rel.2 on my pc.
I read the suggestion and solution you posted for fixing Oracle 8.1.x installation
probblem, and since my pc also hung at 48% while installing Oracle 9i software,
I wonder if the same problem in the Oracle8 Vs.Pentium4 also exists for Oracle9i.
I have Windows2000,256RAM, Pentium3 1Ghz, and 13.8 free diskspace. But the installation always
hangs at 48%, my computer will just shut down and restart automatically without
even showing an error message. I have tried installing the Enterprise edition for 3
times already but everytime encountered the same problem. I've also tried custom installation
by selecting not to create database, but it also hung.
Before I started each installation, I always made sure that my registry and environment
path are cleared and that all the partially-installed Oracle files are deleted.
I hope that you or anyone who has a solution for this problem could be so kindly to help me out.
Thank you in advance.

Problems installing Oracle Developer Suite 10g in windows 7

Hi Experts;
I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g in windows XP, but now I change to windows 7, 64 bits, I was trying to install this product and I'm having a lot of problems, apparently this product is not compatible with windows 7.
My question is, is there any product, like Oracle Developer Suite 10g for windows 7? I was looking for in the Oracle page, and I couldn't see anything, may be the name is diferent.
Thanks for your help.
Al

First off, Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g is no longer supported so Oracle has discontinued improving the product. While ODS is not certified by Oracle for use on Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit), you can install and use on Windows 7 (32/64 bit). This is a commonly asked question so a search of the forum would have given you several solutions.
The limitations of the Oracle installer are:
1. You must have Administrator rights to install.
2. Windows 7 is not a supported version (it's version 6 and it is looking for version 5), so the installer exits.
3. It's unable to recognize Windows Managed virtual memory.
To get around these limitations you must do the following:
1. Modify your Virtual Memory settings and define a specific Min and Max amount. Look at this MS article if you need help making this change: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/change-the-size-of-virtual-memory
2. You must run the Oracle installer in compatibility mode for Windows XP. To do this,
- Right-click on the setup.exe and select the Compatibility tab and click "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP SP2"
3. While still in the properties and the compatibility tab, select the option, "Run as Administrator" and click OK.
Now run the Oracle setup.exe and your installation should succeed.

SAP in a Oracle server

Is it possible to apply and use a SAP as a layer on a Oracle Database. Should the DBA have the knowledge on SAP to perform this... ?

Aman.... wrote:
I believe SAP is an application which has to use either Oracle or some other database for sure.
About knowing SAP, I believe, its going to be a tough task because it is not a small application.
If one is a DBA, he may try to know about it but it would be a big learning curve. Yes, SAP is a VERY large/elaborate suite of software, using a 3-tier architecture that can be spread
across dozens of servers. It requires a back-end database (often Oracle) to store business data
and to store much of the software code itself. There is a significant learning curve.
SAP controls the majority of the Oracle setup/install/physical layout. (Non-OFA-file-placement)
As a DBA, don't expect to learn over 25% of the application layer. (just the basic architecture)
SAP app details take SAP-experts years to learn fully, with as much internal expertise as the
Oracle database itself. (if not more)
Aman.... wrote:
And to manage the database, I think SAP offers its own console. SAP software supplies two different interfaces into an Oracle database. (that I know of)
(1) BR-TOOLS: This is a text-based tool with many sub-menus, that will run on the DB server,
which provides a wrapper to perform several DBA operations. It allows adding files to tablespaces,
table-reorgs, index rebuilds, running analyze/stats on all tables, backup+restore of database,
and several other functions. BRTools is a collection of several executables. You don't HAVE to
use brtools for everything, but if you are not an experienced DBA, it will take care of many things
without needing to know the SQl to care for an Oracle database. If you DO know you SQL well,
then BRTools may take more time to find the right menu, than to do things yourself, or script them.
After learning the sub-tools, you can use command line args + scripts to call exactly what you need.
There is also a GUI layer to run with BRtools, but I haven't bothered to put that in place.
BRtools also includes BR-Backup/BR-Archive/BR-Restore. These are only good for FULL Oracle
backups and archlog backups. Docs say that they will user RMAN and do Incrementals, but
we tried to get this capability to work, and it's not ready for real production.
(2) SAP Transaction/T-Code DB02 (app screen) or "DBAcockpt"
Within the overall SAP application, there are many screens with specific "T-Code" names for
specific user roles. (ie:sales, manufacturing, shipping, payroll, etc) There are also some to support
maint + administration, including some for DBA status of Oracle. Some good screens to look for
in SAP are called DB02, DB03, DB12, DB24, DB50, SE16, SE11, DBACockpit. Most of these are
read-only, to show status, history, reports, config, schedules, parameters, alert.log, etc.
They won't perform the DBA work, but are a good place to find SAP perspective of the Oracle
behavior & status, instead of writing all of your monitoring SQL from scratch.
Aman.... wrote:
I am not sure but I have been told that there is a language called SAP Basis as well for the
administrative tasks related to SAP. NO... the term "Basis" is not a language, but refers to the SAP environment itself, and the config
install, upkeep, maint, architecture, layout of SAP. The main "language" used to code SAP
screens is called "ABAP" and is specific/proprietary to SAP... just like PL/SQL is specific to Oracle.
Almost all of the ABAP code is parsed+stored in the database, to support server-side processing
within SAP, and to define the screen behavior for SAP end users. ABAP is very detailed, and very few
DBAs ever need to know ABAP. There are also more recent portions of SAP that use Java coding
to define screens + behavior... but much like Oracle, this is more of a recent addition, rather than
the 'core' of the software architecture.
Extras: There is an SAP add-on called "CCMS" which performs monitoring and alerts from SAP serves.
CCMS can monitor certain parts of the Oracle database as well, such as Tablespace%free, or filesystems.
Also: SAP will generate an "EarlyWatch" report, which tells you performance+tuning problems to look for.
Note: I have been doing Oracle DBA work in SAP/Unix environment for years,
and still don't know 'everything' that a DBA may want about SAP...

Fedora Core 6 and ORACLE 10g Express Edition Problem

Hello
I have to following problwm
I have installed Oracle XE in a machine that has FC 6
I found that:
1. Oracle is well installed on server
2. Listener of Oracle is started (LSNRCTL) and doing status
3. The host is configured setting my IP so ther is no problem of Host name (Also the same i did on Mandriva I had previously installed.
4. The swap of the system is 1.7 GB so i think it is OK
The problem is that when doing SQLPLUS kai login to "an idle instance" and doing
"startup nomount" send an 00600 error keltnfy-lmdInit error.
another problem is that the http access is disabled.
Oracle setup was done by disabling SELinux.
Any help?

Searches on the net and Metalink for the keltnfy-lmdInit suggest there is a problem in the name resolution.

it's working.
I'm using Slackware 8.0 + kernel 2.4.9 + RH binutils + JDK 1.1.8v3
My hardware: K7 1100 512MB Ram SCSI HD IBM DDYS 18GB 10k rpm AHA 39160 MGA G450
I have followed the howto from http://free-zg.hinet.hr/denisk/index_en.html
Tricky thing. Last night I made a "wrong" Slackware setup: I forgot to add a swap partition, so, when Oracle setup started hasn't any swap partition. Setup was FASTER without swap partition, than with one (????) ;-O
However I hadn't created the db (dbca) because my hd was full ;-(
I have downloaded Oracle 9i from technet.oracle.com, then I have burned 3 cd (a big pain). The first CD is buggy: Rock Ridge extension allow max 37 ch as file name. There are a couple of file (documention) that are longer.
