Restroring Encrypted Production database to Encrypted Dev database

I have a production instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 running Master Data Services encrypted using using a certificate named "MDSCertP" by password "CertP1234". I have a development instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 running Master Data
Services encrypted using using a certificate named "MDSCertD" by password "CertD1234". I've been asked by the the developer to restore a production copy of the MDS database to dev.
I understand that to restore successfully, I l need to physically copy the certificate (.cer) and private key (.pvk) to the dev server.
Am I going to kill the dev instance by copying the prod certs? Is there a better practice to refresh the data on dev?
Thanks,
:g

Hi,
To restore a encrypted database on another instance, besides the certificate and private key, you also need backup the master key and restore it on the second instance.
RESTORE MASTER KEY FROM FILE = 'path_to_file'
DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password'
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password'
[ FORCE ]
You can refer to the below article for details:

Create dev database from standby database

Hi folks,
I need to create a dev database by using RMAN's method of cloning. But, since it is business hours and the production database is being used at a very high rate, I cannot carryout the cloning by connecting the primary database as it may cause performance slowness.
The time allotted for the activity is also very short. We have a standby database created for the primary database. So, my question is it possible for me to create the dev database using the standby database ?
Database version is 11.1.0.6 and I can go ahead with the active database feature.

Yes, you can clone from the standby database. Follow the below steps.
1. Check if your standby database is in sync with the primary database.
2. Cancel the MRP on the standby database.
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;3. connect to standby as target database and dev database as auxiliary
rman target sys/<pwd>@<standby-alias> auxiliary sys/pwd@<dev-alias>4. Your standby database would be in mount stage and dev in nomount stage.
5. Run the duplicate command
rman>duplicate target database to 'dev' nofilenamecheck;6. Once done, start the MRP on the standby database
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;

Refresh a dev database

Hi
I'm trying to refresh dev database from prod through rman,
Dev was already refreshed 3 months ago , we are planning it again.So, the structure and datafile name are same on both.Prod is about 100GB.
If I use rman, can rman update the existing files as the file structure is similar to prod. or I've to drop the database and follow regular duplication process(If i do this I will have to keep developers idle for long time)
I'm trying have very less down time.
Below is the script I'm using , Could any one advice me
run{

Or if you haven't got GRID
1. Create A Backup Control File Script.
First you need to obtain a script that will create a copy of the existing control file. This is usually carried out with the SVRMGRL utility using the following commands:
     CONNECT INTERNAL
     ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE RESETLOGS;
This creates a file in the trace file directory. The file usually has the extension '.trc' and will be located either in the directory defined by the parameter 'user_dump_dest', or if this parameter is undefined it will be in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log. Edit this file with your favourite editor and remove the crud. Then rename it as "ctrl<NEW_SID>.sql," where <NEW_SID> will be the ORACLE_SID of the copied database.
2. Modify The Script Created In The Previous Step.
The CREATE CONTROLFILE command in the script ctrl<NEW_SID>.sql contains SQL, which might look something like this:
     CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "OLD_SID" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
     MAXLOGFILES 32
     MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
     MAXDATAFILES 32
     MAXINSTANCES 16
     MAXLOGHISTORY 1815
     LOGFILE
     GROUP 1 'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OLD_SID\REDO03.LOG' SIZE 1M,
     GROUP 2 'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OLD_SID\REDO02.LOG' SIZE 1M,
     GROUP 3 'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OLD_SID\REDO01.LOG' SIZE 1M
     DATAFILE
     'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OLD_SID\SYSTEM01.DBF',
     'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OLD_SID\RBS01.DBF',
     'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OLD_SID\TEMP01.DBF',
     'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OLD_SID\TOOLS01.DBF',
     'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OLD_SID\INDX01.DBF',
     'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OLD_SID\DR01.DBF',
     'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OLD_SID\WORK01.DBF',
     'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OLD_SID\TEMP02.DBF'
     CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1
Where the string <OLD_SID> is the Oracle SID of the original database. This should be changed to <NEW_SID>. Normallly this will be contained somewhere in the full filespec (path + filename) of all redo logs, data logs and control files. If it isn't then it should have been. This entire document assumes that you have the SID somewhere in the full filespec of these crucial files and furthermore that there are no embedded spaces or other weird characters in these filespecs. If you failed to observe these universal conventions when you setup your database, you should not try to use any of the procedures outlined in this document.
3. Copy The Existing Database To The New Location.
This will be a "cold" copy. So obviously you should make sure that the database is shutdown and all services are stopped before attempting to "cold" copy the database.
If the copy is on the same host, you can use the DOS copy command (once the instance is shutdown). If you are lack the manual dexterity required for a keyboard you can copy the files with a mouse. If the target is a remote host then you will have to copy to a mass storage device or copy across the network.
On the target host you need to copy all parameter files and all files mentioned above to their new location. Make sure you preserve ownership and permissions. The copied init<OLD_SID>.ora should be renamed to init<NEW_SID>.ora, and any parameter files pointed to by an ifile parameter (e.g. parameter files such as config<OLD_SID>.ora) should be renamed to contain <NEW_SID> (e.g. config<NEW_SID>.ora).
The datafiles and redo log files from the pervious step also need to be renamed to contain the <NEW_SID> in the full filespec.
4. Set Up Parameter Files For The New Database
There may be several parameters that need to be edited in init<NEW_SID>.ora. In particular you will need to edit the control_files parameter so that it points to the name and location that you want to use for the new control files. You will also have to change the DB_NAME parameter in init<NEW_SID>.ora. Change it to the newname for your database. Usually this corresponds the <NEW_SID>. Any 'ifile' parameters will need to be edited to point to the new name of the include file in the new location.
5. Create The Control File For The New Database.
Now edit the file ctrl<NEW_SID>.sql and strip out everything up to and including the STARTUP NOMOUNT command. Remove the ALTER DATABASE OPEN command and everything after it. This leaves a command which just creates the controlfile.
Now change all the appropriate instances of <OLD_SID> to <NEW_SID>. Unless you have a very good reason for doing so, you should make the database name the same as <NEW_SID>. Save this script in an area where you will find it again.
Make sure that your ORACLE_SID is set to <NEW_SID>. Then use the SVRMGRL utility to run the following commands:
     STARTUP NOMOUNT
     @ctrl<NEW_SID>
6. Create The Services For NEW_SID
Create the services "OracleService<Sid>" and the "OracleStart<Sid>" for "NEW_SID" with the following command:
oradim -new -sid <NEW_SID> -intpwd <password> -startmode auto -pfile <path_name>
7. Run 'CREATE CONTROLFILE' For <NEW_SID>
Make sure that your current directory is the one that contains ctrl<NEW_SID>.sql
Set your ORACLE_SID to <NEW_SID>
Startup SVRMGRL and enter the following:
     CONNECT INTERNAL
     STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE=<full path>\init<NEW_SID>.ora
     @ctrl<NEW_SID>
     ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
Automating This Process.
Creating a clone of an Oracle Database is the type of thing that you might wish to carry out regularly. you might do this on a regular basis because:
* You wish to create a test instance of your production system.
* You wish to create another working copy of your production system for reporting purposes or for some form of off-line processing.
Obviously if you had to do this regularly you would write a script. If you are proficient at writing CMD scripts you could write a .cmd or .bat file to carry out these steps.
You would have to clobber the <NEW_SID> instance before you created the clone. But that could be easily accomplished in a CMD script. However some of the things that would be cumbersome in a CMD script would be:
* Changing the CREATE CONTROLFILE script when your database is altered (e.g. when you add a datafile to a tablespace).
* Creating a third copy (e.g. NEW_SID1).
* Creating a copy from an entirely different database.
Obviously these contingincies can be handled ... but usually it means re-writing or re-creating the CMD script.
Perl is so versatile that it does not have these problems.
coldarch.pl
The coldarch perl script creates a cold archive of an Oracle database on Windows NT/2000. The archive is a separate directory. It could be on the same machine as the host. However, in the interest of data integrity, it would make more sense to place it on a remote host (via the network).
The script relies on site specific variables that are set in the common.pl file.
The coldarch command is intended for incorporation into a script file. Ideally it should be incorporated into a routine backup schedule. However, if it is being invoked from a command line, the syntax would be as follows:
     coldarch intrnl_passwd db_name
Where:
intrnl_passwd is the Internal password of the database.
db_name is the database_name (should also be the SID).
The logic of the script is as follows:
1. Validate the command line parameters and the common.pl variables.
2. Create a lock file, to prevent a second copy of the program from running.
3. Initialise strings for a logfile and a Header File (for the archive directory)
4. Use SQL queries to gather information about control_files, datafiles, redo logs and locations of important files.
5. Create a script that will can CREATE CONTROL file
6. Shutdown the database.
7. Add the datafiles to the zip archive.
8. Copy the parameter files and included files (ifiles) to the archive directory.
9. Add the control file and redo logs to the zip archive.
10. Depending on the value of the variable $OPEN_TYPE, open the database. Some sites may choose not to open the database, because the coldarch procedure is integrated into the backup schedule. The variable $OPEN_TYPE is hard-coded in the coldarch script.
coldclone.pl
The coldclone perl script restores a cold archive of an Oracle database to a Windows NT/2000 host. The Target SID must differ from the source SID.
The script relies on the same site specific variables that the coldarch script relies on. These are set in the common.pl file.
The coldclone command is intended for incorporation into a script file. If it is being invoked from the command line, the syntax would be as follows:
     coldclone src_dir intrnl_passwd db_name
Where:
src_dir is the directory where the cold arhive resides.
intrnl_passwd is the Internal password of the database.
db_name is the database_name (should also be the SID).
The logic of the script is as follows:
1. Validate the command line parameters and the common.pl variables.
2. Verify that the database is shutdown.
3. Create a lock file, to prevent a second copy of the program from running.
4. Initialise strings for a logfile.
5. Parse the archive header, to determine the location of various files.
6. Verify that the database is a clone -- This script has been expressly written to create a clone. You would need a diffent script to do a restore.
7. Completely clobber the existing database (use the oradim utility to blow it away). You have passed the point of no return.
8. Unpack the datafiles from the zip archive.
9. Copy the parameter files and included files (ifiles) to the archive directory.
10. Construct an SQL query from the trace file (created by coldarch), which contains the CREATE CONTROLFILE.
11. Create the database anew with oradim. Start it up (NOMOUNT) and run the CREATE CONTROLFILE script. Open the database. (ALTER DATABASE OPEN).

Migrate SQL 2008 Analysis database to 2012 AS database along with data level security defined in current production cube

I want to migrate Analysis Services 2008 database to 2012 AS database along with data level security defined in current production cube
Note: Only Production environment have security, while no security is defined in development environment
Potential Approach:
1 - Using Synchronization Wizard: Gives me error : "The OLAP element at line1 can not appear under envelope......" and this is because Synchrinzation works only for same version
and in my case, there are different versions of SQL (SQL 2008 and 2012)
2 - Using Visual studio conversion wizard - Convert SQL 2008 AS project to 2012 and then process cube, so I can get the cube working but then how can I get data level security since 100's of data level security is defined in production Cube, so how can I
migrate that across
3 - Script out XMLA and deploy cube - But then again having issues with how can i script SSAS security
4 - Would taking backup of SSAS 2008 database and restore to SSAS 2012 will help ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks,
Mihir

Hi Mihir,
According to your description, you want to migrate the SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) 2008 database which have some security setting with it to SSAS 2012, right? We can migrate existing Analysis Services databases either during Setup, by upgrading an
existing instance of Analysis Services, or after Setup, by running the Migration Wizard. Generally, when migrating a database to another server, all the setting will be migrated. So in your scenario, you can refer to the steps on the links below to migrate
your SSAS database.

Export controls - Encryption Products Concern

Hi,
There is some concern on shipping of encryption product families to certain countries.
How do we achieve this, do we have std functionality in GTS or we need a flag such products products in ECC to meet the regulatory obligations.
Can somebody throw somelight on this as to how to achieve on SAP GTS?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
If you have preference processing service activated in Risk management. you can define base rules and additional conditions for preference processing. If the product fulfills the additional condition, you set the Condition OK indicator. You only set this indicator for products that meet the assigned additional condition. The system evaluates the indicator when determining the preference.
This specifically helps when you trade in loops of regional trade agreements and have to determine whether the product fits in the preference eligibility criterion of varied regional trade agreements.
Otherwise: A license is triggered with the combination of Control Class (ECCNs), Country of destination and departure, Partner etc.
So, Even if the preference processing is not activated. We can Control the shipments of a specific ECCN to certain countries through license.

How to clone my SAP (production) to my SAP (dev) ?

I need to clone my SAP (production) to my SAP (dev).
What are the proper procedures of it ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Ming,
Based on requirement you can decide upon the approach.
1) In case you need to have all the data from PRD to DEV you can go with homogenous system copy method using backup/restore or Export / import.
2) In case you need to have only master data copied from PRD to DEV, you need to use SAP TDMS to perform the data transfer from PRD to DEV. Additional license will be required for SAP TDMS.
3) In case your database size not high ( say less than 500 GB) and you need all the data from PRD to DEV, you can perform client copy from PRD to DEV using profile SAP_ALL.
Hope this information is useful.

Deepak Kori

DRM-79819: Encryption error: Config file encryption is not valid for this m

Hi ALL,
Suddenly we got this error while running an export via batch utility. any ideas?
Error: DRM-79819: Encryption error: Config file encryption is not valid for this machine.

This could be an issue with your drm-config.xml file, the file that stores the DRM configuration information defined in the DRM Console. If a drm-config.xml was restored from an old backup or copied from another machine, this could well be the issue.
In this case, you can run the DRM Console to update the file and correct it. You may see a one-time error reported when the DRM Console starts up, but the Console app should correct the file automatically after reporting the error to the user.
If this does not resolve your issue, review the Windows App Event Log, to determine which DRM Server process(es) are also reporting this error (to narrow down any other potential issues with a config file for one of the DRM Server executables). I am guessing this error was observed in just the DRM Batch client, but related Event Log should also be present in the App Event Log.
HTH.
*** An additional note, if your issue proves to be the one above, you may need re-enter passwords on your defined Database Connections for defined DRM Apps. Try just re-running the DRM Console and re-saving the config initially, but be aware this may be a required additional step, re-entering the DB passwords after the updated encryption has been applied to the stored drm-config.xml file.

Logical Database design and physical database implementation

Hi
I am an ORACLE DBA basically and we started a proactive server dashboard portal ,which basically reports all aspects of our infrastructure (Dev,QA and Prod,performance,capacity,number of servers,No of CPU,decomissioned date,OS level,Database patch level) etc..
This has to be done entirely by our DBA team as this is not externally funded project.Now i was asked to do " Logical Database design and physical Database
implementation"
Even though i know roughly what's that mean(like designing whole set of tables in star schema format) ,i have never done this before.
In my mind i have a rough set of tables that can be used but again i think there is lot of engineering involved in this area to make sure that we do it properly.
I am wondering you guys might be having some recommendations for me in the sense where to start?are there any documents online , are there any book on this topic?Are there any documents which explain this phenomena with examples ?
Also exactly what is the difference between logical database design vs physical database implementation
Thanks and Regards

Logical database design is the process of taking a business or conceptual data model (often described in the form of an Entity-Relationship Diagram) and transforming that into a logical representation of that model using the specific semantics of the database management system. In the case of an RDBMS such as Oracle, this representation would be in the form of definitions of relational tables, primary, unique and foreign key constraints and the appropriate column data types supported by the RDBMS.
Physical database implementation is the process of taking the logical database design and translating that into the actual DDL statements supported by the target RDBMS that will create the database objects in a target RDBMS database. This will generally include specific physical implementation details such as the specification of tablespaces, use of specialised indexing (bitmap, clustered etc), partitioning, compression and anything else that relates to how data will actually be physically stored inside the database.
It sounds like you already have a physical implementation? If so, you can reverse engineer this implementation into a design tool such as SQL Developer Data Modeller. This will create a logical design by examining the contents of the Oracle data dictionary. Even if you don't have an existing database, Data Modeller is a good tool to use as a starting point for logical and even conceptual/business models.
If you want to read anything about logical design, "An Introduction to Database Systems" by Date is always a good starting point. "Database Systems - A Practical Approach to Design, Implementation and Management" by Connolly & Begg is also an excellent reference.

How to copy a database to a new database on Windows 32bit?

Hi Gurus,
I have a production database 10g on Windows 32bit and I want to make a copy of this database as Test in same server ?
Please help....
Thanks,

How big is your database?
1)If database size is small, create a blank test db . Export from Production using expdp and impdp onto Test.
2)If database size is hundreds of gb's use rman duplicate command. As you are restoring on to same host
configure db_file_name_convert/log_file_name_convert in your pfile properly
And also control_files parameter to new location in your new pfile.

Database not found/Error: ORA-16621: database name for ADD DATABASE must be

I am new to Data Guard and am trying to set up Data Guard Broker. I had created a configuration file with both my primary and standby databases and at one time I could show both databases. But now I can no longer show the standby database nor can I enable, disable or reinstate it. Here is what I have:

How can I get Data Guard to see the standby database correctly again?

Thank you for the constructive feedback. I have been able to make progress on this issue.
I did check the Data Guard Log files as you suggested. I did not find anything when I checked them before but this time I found the following:

I also checked the listener log file and did see and error associated with a known bug:

So I added the following to the listener.ora file and bounced the listener:

That seems to have taken care of the error.
The following is my listener.ora file:

I tried again to see the database in Data Guard Broker:
DGMGRL> show database 10gSB
Object "10gsb" was not found
however, I then was able to add the database in Data Guard Broker:
DGMGRL> add database 10gSB
as connect identifier is 10gSB
maintained as physical;Database "10gsb" added <== this is progress!!!
However the configuration shows the following:
DGMGRL> show database 10gSB
Database
Name: 10gsb
Role: PHYSICAL STANDBY
Enabled: NO
Intended State: OFFLINE
Instance(s):
10gSB
Current status for "10gsb":
DISABLED <=====
So I tried to enable the database:
DGMGRL> enable database 10gSB
Error: ORA-16626: failed to enable specified object
Failed.
and I tried to reinstate the database:
DGMGRL> reinstate database 10gSB
Reinstating database "10gsb", please wait...
Error: ORA-16653: failed to reinstate database
Failed.
Reinstatement of database "10gsb" failed
So I checked the configuration and now see two entries for the standby database but with case differences:
DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration
Name: orcl10g
Enabled: YES
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Databases:
orcl10g - Primary database
10gSB - Physical standby database
10gsb - Physical standby database (disabled)
Current status for "orcl10g":
SUCCESS
Question: How do I get rid of 10gSB and enable 10gsb?

Moving the 80 Million records from Conversion database to System Test database (Just for one transaction table) taking too long.

Hello Friends,
The background is I am working as conversion manager and we move the data from oracle to SQL Server using SSMA and then we will apply the conversion logic and then move the data to system test ,UAT and Production.
Scenario:
Moving the 80 Million records from Conversion database to System Test database (Just for one transaction table) taking too long. Both the databases are in the same server.
Questions are…
What is best option?
IF we use the SSIS it’s very slow and taking 17 hours (some time it use to stuck and won’t allow us to do any process).
I am using my own script (Stored procedure) and it’s taking only 1 hour 40 Min. I would like know is there any better process to speed up and why the SSIS is taking too long.
When we move the data using SSIS do they commit inside after particular count? (or) is the Microsoft is committing all the records together after writing into Transaction Log
Thanks
Karthikeyan Jothi

Error when importing into 11.1 database from 10.2 database

Hi everyone !
I'm trying to import full database(10.2) into database 11g
Before running Data Pump ,I had checked compability between 10.2 and 11.1 and Oracle says that they're supported .
So I've used 10.2 expdp to export data from 10g database . Then I've used 11d impdp to import data into 11g database .
but it's not working well .
