Script or tool to collect/discover/explore informations about a database

Hi there!
We have a new customer who already has Oracle databases running. In this project we have to take over the servers and databases. So in future we are responsible for the databases. To operate these foreign databases we have to know and document them an their configuration in a first inventory-step.
My question now is are there any scripts or tools that do this discovery of fundamental information, for example like tablespaces, users, datafiles, usage statistics, performance parameters.
I know there's a tool called "remote diagnostic agent" (rda) but I don't know if this fits my needs.
Thanks for helping,
Markus

Hi @all
Thanks for all the quick responses.
OK, maybe it's the best to use RDA for that matter. I already thought about it but that solution dosn't have that charme as a nice small script which gives me the information i need to get a quick overview.
@ ji li
Well, it's not a problem to write a script which collects all these data by getting them out of the database repository. But I think you would agree with me that it's verry senseless to put some effort in developing something if someone has already done that. And as I'm not shure if I have all information I need it's a good help to orientate at a work of experienced dbas.
Would it be to cheeky to ask you if you want to share your script solution?

Script to collect basic information about a database

Hi,
I recently started working at a new place, with lots of Oracle Databases.
I have need for a nice script for collecting basic information about this databases. A few years ago I found some scripts at Metalink for this, but now I can´t find any....
Anyone who could point out where to find this?
Best Regards //Björn

You can use Statspack. You have the most important information and you have an overview of how the database performes.
Bye, Aron

I need information about a database

Hi
I am making an application and the data base that I am using is a dbf. I have found two jdbcs to connect me. One is DBF_JDBC20.jar but it is trial. I began the application with this. After I found tinySQL.jar I try to change but some functions do not work.
I need to know if Does anybody know a database seemed to dbf?. For example. I can use the mdb(MSAccess) but my program has got to run in Linux and it does not exist any free jdbc.
I dont know if it exists any another database without server if it exists tell me. please
thanks in advanced.

yes, but it is a server. ?
I need something I do not install a server. By that i use u dbf.You can install MySQL on any PC. Is that what you mean?

In brief, they are databases designed or configured for different purposes.
What is the use of synchronising 2 databases?So they don't go out of step.
what is a cluster in a database?It's when things group together to keep warm next to the heat of the processor.I'm still laughing here!! :-)
Well done BluShadow.

Collect snmp traffic information realtime

Hi
I want to collect the snmp information about the traffic rate from the interface. I found in the show interface result that it only shows the 5 mins traffic rate. And I was wondering if we could do it in real time manner or approximately 1 - 10 sec. Could you suggest what way we can do this? Does it have a specific mib I can use?
Basically what I am trying to achieve is to find the maximun traffic rate in the 5 minutes period. I want to collect the rate in every 10 sec. And compare them to find the maximun during the 5mins period. Then the snmp poller will poll this information later on. This may require creating the custom mib to store this maximum value and wait for the poller to poll. I am not sure if we can do that in IOS. If we can, what IOS version should be able to do it.
Thanks a lot for your help.
S

There're a couple of IOS commands you can use, as described at http://kb.pert.geant.net/PERTKB/SnmpUpdateLag. They have the desired effects under normal circumstances. However, according to various user reports, IOS may defer on updating SNMP counter values when it gets busy dealing with its "day job" of moving packets.

Collecting Oracle Rac information

Is there any script/commands availble to collect all the informaion about oracle dababase and oracle RAC 10g.
Edited by: user3234 on Jan 12, 2009 6:43 PM

Hello,
RAC cloning, you can use OUI to clone RAC nodes and clusterware. The R2 Oracle Universal Installer comes with a perl script, *$ORACLE_HOME/clone/bin/clone.pl*, which automates the cloning process. A companion script, prepare_clone.pl, prepares the source ORACLE_HOME for cloning by archiving and compressing it; you copy the files over yourself, unarchive, and run clone.pl. See if this helps you.

[CS3 JS] Getting information about Photoshop images in InDesign

Hello,
Through an InDesign script I can get many pieces of information about an image such as the file name, resolution in PPI, dimension in inches, color mode, etc.
What I am wondering is if it is possible to find out how many layers a Photoshop image may have. I would like a quick way to know if an image has been flattened (one layer) without having to open up the image in Photoshop.
Tom

You can do this via BridgeTalk, here is an example. Select a TIF or PSD image and run the script.
const gScriptName = "Get number of layers";
const gScriptVersion = "1.0";
var gLayersNumber;
Main();
//===================================== FUNCTIONS ======================================
function Main() {
    var image, pixelDimensionsArr, folderPath, copyResult;
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    try {
        if (app.selection[0].constructor.name == "Image") {
            image = app.selection[0];
        else if (app.selection[0].images.length > 0) {
            image = app.selection[0].images[0];
        else {
            ErrorExit("The selection contains no image.");
    catch(err) {
        ErrorExit("The selection contains no image.");
    var link = image.itemLink;
    if (!link.isValid) ErrorExit("Can't get the link.");
    if (link.linkType == "Photoshop" || link.linkType == "TIFF") {
        if (link.status == LinkStatus.NORMAL) {
            linkFile = new File(link.filePath);
            if (linkFile.exists) {
                CreateBridgeTalkMessage(link.filePath);
                alert("Number of layers: " + gLayersNumber);
function CreateBridgeTalkMessage(imagePath) {
    var bt = new BridgeTalk();
    bt.target = "photoshop";
    var script = "GetLayersNumber = " + GetLayersNumber.toSource() + "\r";
    script += "GetLayersNumber(\"" + imagePath + "\");";
    bt.body = script;
    bt.onResult = function(resObj) {
        gLayersNumber = resObj.body;
    bt.onError = function(msg) {
        alert("Error: " + msg.body);
    bt.send(100);
function GetLayersNumber(imagePath) {
    var f = new File(imagePath);
    app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
    var doc = app.open(f);
    var layersNumber = doc.artLayers.length;
    doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.ALL;
    return layersNumber;
function ErrorExit(error, icon) {
    alert(error, gScriptName + " - " + gScriptVersion, icon);

No information about site collection

Hi All,
I came across a strange issue where I can not browse the root site collection, I am also not able to see the information about the site collection, though I can see the browse the other site collection in the same DB.
Any clue??

Use PowerShell (Get-SPSite "http://webUrl/"). Does that bring any information? If not, try creating one.

I need collect some system information like free disk size how can i do ?

I wrote a backup applications on client/server style. But i can collect some information about system like free disk size , running application or running services( especially on windows).
i know i can do with using system commands like dir, ls etc..
But i want to collect this sysem informations with native java api and codes.
Dou you know any java api ?
Please i need help urgent ...

There is nothing in Java to do that. The Java language is independent of the os, and doesn't support (many) os-specific attributes.

Need information about script libraries

I need information about script libraries, any websites or documentation will be appreciated

Can you clarify what you are asking for? What sort of scripts do you want? There are plenty of scripts posted in these forums. Tom Kyte generates numerous scripts a day (http://asktom.oracle.com).

Scripting Languages Tool Preview

Ok, this new thread is for posting about the Scripting Languages Tool Preview. Any comments, thoughts, ideas, contributions?
Greetings,
Blag.

John: as Frank said, we'd love to see generators for other languages - like JavaScript - in future. But we don't want to create them all alone. So here's the deal: we create the framework and some generators for the most widely-used languages and you cool guys on SDN build on that and create other generators, other viewers, anything you think is useful. And for all questions or problems we (SAP Scripting Team) will offer all the help we can. I'm very looking forward to see what will evolve from this
This works two-way. It's you who have year-long experience in all kind of scripting languages - combined it's much more knowledge than we can have. So when I face a scripting problem during generator-creation I'll just ask for your help here
Piers: no, it did not arrive. Please send again. I checked my profile and the mail-address was just not set to 'visible'. Your's isn't, too
About the 'integration': it is a clear goal to let it work inside other frameworks (Eclipse-based). As we do not have or use all of these I can just assume that it'll work just fine using the standard Eclipse mechanisms. Scripting in a Box is definitely a good candidate for this, and I myself use it for testing both tool integration and generated scripts.
Bundling - we thought about this, but there might be legal issues, so we have to wait for an official approval. Meanwhile it's not that complicated just getting SiaB and installing the tool afterwards

Does anyone recommend a good free tool for collecting ip accounting info?

I would like to find a good tool for collecting ip accounting info remotely. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks.

Not a recommendation by any means, but here's one:

Where can I find information about using the measurement tool and log?

Am try to use the measurement tool to measure perspective plain; any ideas?

No one can remotely have "any ideas" to help you when you don't even mention what your problem is nor what your system and workflow are like.
Of course, when you post here,one assumes you have done your due diligence, read the documentation, the user guide, the Help files in the Photoshop Help menu, as well as done Google and forum searches, etc, and we would expect some sensible, detailed information from you.
Teaching someone Photoshop from scratch, step by step, exceeds the scope of this forum—or any other forum.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
