SECURITY PATCH ON STANDBY DATABASE AND PRIMARY DATABASE

I have a question on applying CPU on standby and primary database
I have a standby database on machine2 and primary on machine1
I applied a CPU patch on the Oracle Home of Standby database and
did not run the catcpu.sql as standbydatabase is in mount state.
Now i am going to apply the CPU patch on primary database.
What i need to confirm is that after i apply the patch on primary database oracle home
and run the cat cpu.sql on that do i have to do anything on the standby database
for instance rebuilding it or something or the change would be shipped to the standby
server automatically.
The purpose is to have the primary and standby database on the same patch level
in case of a failover
Please let me know asap

Any one has any idea on this. Any ideas would be appreciated

Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version to fix a vulnerability

Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version 11.2.0.2.0 (on windows server 2003 32 bits) to fix the following vulnerability:
Risk: High
Application: oracle_tnslsnr
Port: 1521
Protocol: tcp
Synopsis:
It is possible to register with a remote Oracle TNS listener.
Description:
The remote Oracle TNS listener allows service registration from a remote host. An attacker can exploit this issue to divert data from a
legitimate database server or client to an attacker-specified system.
Successful exploits will allow the attacker to manipulate database instances, potentially facilitating man-in-the-middle, sessionhijacking,
or denial of service attacks on a legitimate database server.
Solution:
Apply the work-around in Oracle's advisory.
Thank you for your help

that sounds like the "tns poison" vulnerability. CVE 2012-1675 - Oracle Security Alert CVE-2012-1675

How to shift Manual Standby Database to Primary Database

Hi all,
My Database edition is Oracle 10G standard Edition and runing 24X7 and configure Manual Stand by Database. if I were changing some iniliazation parameter and datafiles.
What can I do ?
i) How to swift the Manual Stand by Database to Primary Database.
ii) What is the procedure by step by step information need.
Regards.....

If you're using a Manual Standby Database I assume you are using a pfile to apply the archived logs transported from the primary database created while creating the Manual Standard. at that time you should have kept the spfile in place too.
If you have done this, then you can simply open an SQL*Plus session connect as sysdba and issue a simple STARTUP command.
This will use the SPFILE by default and your database will be opened normally.
But if you don't have an SPFILE you can always create one, just specify the necessary control files (not the standby control file) in your pfile, remove unwanted parameters and create the spfile, and use the same step as above and issue a STARTUP.
But once you open your standby database normally you will not be able to switch back to standby mode, you have to recreate it again from a cold backup and create a new standby control file.

Tony

Failover from standby database to primary database

Hi,
Can anyone suggest me, How to do " Standby DataGuard database to primary database (dataguard)".
Kindly Give me steps.
Thanks,
Shweta

Hi
Follow these steps
Oracle switchover operation:
1.     Check and verify the role parameter on the v$parameters both primary and standby
On Primary
Log_archive_dest_1=”this is the local archive destination”
+Log_archive_dest_2=”This is the Service [TNS ENTRY]”+
Log_archive_dest_state_1=Enable
Log_archive_dest_state_2=Enable
Fal_server=”this should have the tns entry for the standby
Fal_Client=”this should have the tns entry for the primary
Standby_archive_dest=”This should have the Location where the archive located”
Standby_File_Management=AUTO
On Standby
Log_archive_dest_1=”this is the local archive destination”
+Log_archive_dest_2=”This is the Service [TNS ENTRY]”+
Log_archive_dest_state_1=Enable
Log_archive_dest_state_2=DEfer
Fal_server=”this should have the tns entry for the primary
Fal_Client=”this should have the tns entry for the standby
Standby_archive_dest=”This should have the Location where the archive located”
Standby_File_Management=AUTO
2.     Down all the applications connects to the database
3.     Shutdown both primary and standby databases
4.     For RAC Keep Only one primary and One standby up and all other nodes should be down
5.     Check the Primary database on Open mode and the Standby database on mount stage
6.     On Primary
SQL>select switchover_status from v$database;Sessions Active or To standby will be appearing on the result
SQL> alter database commit to switchover to standby with session shutdown;
SQL> shutdown Immediate;
SQL>startup nomount;
SQL>alter database mount standby database;
SQL>Alter system set log_Archive_dest_state_2=defer;7.     On Standby
SQL>select switchover_status from v$database;it is acceptable to have Sessions Active or To Primary
SQL>alter database commit to switchover to primary with session shutdown;
SQL>shutdown immediate;
SQL>Startup;
SQL.>Alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2=enable;8.     On Primary
start the managed recovery
SQL>Alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;9.     Check the log shipment is working from New Primary to New Standby Using
SQL>Alter system switch logfile; ---- On New Primary.check the alert log on both Primary and Standby for the log shipment and Media recovery.
10.     If the switch over fail issue the following statement on standby (ORACLE 9i)
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database finish skip standby logfile ┘
SQL> alter database commit to switchover to primary┘
SQL> shutdown immediate;
SQL> Startup;11.     If this don’t work please issue the below statement
SQL> alter database activate standby database skip standby logfile;12.     If the switch over fail issue the following statement on standby (ORACLE 10g and above)
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database finish force;
SQL> alter database commit to switchover to primary;
SQL> alter database open;
SQL> shutdown Immediate;
SQL> startup;13. Added the temp file to your temp tablespace
If you follow the steps (10,11 & 12 ) you have to recreate the standby again. those steps are actually fail over steps. Hope this will be helpful
Cheers

Cluster database and payroll database

please let me know what is a cluster database and payroll database, and what are the structures involved in it.
please let me know as soon as possible as it is very URGENT.
ADV THANX
REGARDS,
VETRIVEL MURUGAN

You didn't say what platform you are using. I have done clustering with 11i (CRM and HR/Payroll) on Solaris 8 using Sun Cluster 3.
If you look at http://docs.sun.com/db?p=prod/cluster you will see a number of documents on the subject of clustering. The Data Services guide will tell you clustering an Oracle database and TNS listeners.
If you want to cluster other components to failover (Apache, Concurrent Manager, Forms Server) you will have to write start, stop and probe scripts for Sun Cluster 3 GDS to use.
Payroll is the 11i Application suite that delivers payroll functionality, though Oracle are not the only ones that provide this type of software.

Which difference parallel database and RAC database

Hi Experts,
I saw some document about parallel database and RAC database.
My boss confused these two product.
which difference between parallel database and RAC database?
does parallel database is a "old RAC"?
Thanks
Jim

RAC is the new name with many features for old depreciated Oracle Parallel Server (OPS).
It was avialable till 8i, since 9i it is called RAC.

Create Temporary databases and Permanent databases

Hi,
How to configure or setup Temporary databases and Permanent databases ?
Need separate steps to install or setup Temporary / Permanent databases
Windows 2003 & 32 bit OS and 8 GB RAM
In web site http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21901_01/doc/timesten.1122/e21633/comp.htm#CHDBEDHC
it is said as it is configured with DSN (Data Source Name)
but to how to setup Temporary databases and Permanent databases
Note:Oracle database has not been installed,only Oracle TimesTen has been installed.
Temporary databases are not stored to disk.
Permanent databases are stored to disk automatically through a procedure called checkpointing.
I need to keep the data in memory and need to pass the data to another server via replication or some other way.
Thanks!

Hi,
You dont need to install something. You need to configure your DSN only.
For creating Temporary database you should set up the Temporary DSN parameter (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21901_01/doc/timesten.1122/e21633/using.htm#BCGJAJDI).
If you want using Permanent database just uncheck Temporary DSN parameter.
Temporary databases are not stored to disk. Permanent databases are stored to disk automatically through a procedure called checkpointing. No. TimesTen databases (Permanent and Temporary) store data in memory. It is the main purpose. Permanent db saves a copy of data on disk only for recovery purpose. Temporary db doesnt do it.

Gennady

Difference between Transaction database and relational database

Whats the Difference between Transaction database and relational database ??

'Transaction' refers to the usage of a database. 'Relational' refers to the way in which a given database stores data.
A 'transaction database' (or operational database) could be relational, hierarchical, et al. A transaction database supports business process flows and is typically an online, real-time system. The way in which that data is stored is typically
based on the application(s). Companies often have multiple 'transaction databases'.
An 'operational data store' (ODS) is an integrated view or compilation of transaction data.
The you get into data warehouse databases, where the transaction data is optimized for querying, reporting, and analysis activities.

Should standby and primary database use the same release version?

Then If I do upgrade, I'll have to stop the two database
and then upgrade?

Hi,
Look at the requirements it is specified there. And as far as I can recollect they must match. Because standby feature differ beween the versions.
Best,

Change server time in Standby Database or primary database in Dataguard

Hi all,
I configuration dataguard for 2 site. But after finishing, I saw the time not synchronize. I want to change time setting in standby server but I don't sure Dataguard configuration will still running normally.
Please explain for me about synchronizing time in Dataguard. And if you know the way to change time setting server, please tell me that way.
THanks so much!

Hello;
It should be at the OS level. On Linux I use cron to sync time with a central server. Once the time changes at the OS level and the database stops and starts it will use that time.
Will post an example here in a moment
So I use "ntpdate" on Linux to do this. Some similar exists for Windows.
00 8,16,23 * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate nss.server > /tmp/nts.outWindows example :

ZENworks Database and Primary Servers / Scheduled Reboot

Hi all,
I hope I got the correct forum for my questions. If not could an admin be so good to move me to the correct one?
We've got a ZENworks 11.3.1 Zone with 4 Primary Severs (SLES 11SP3) and up to 25 Satellites (mixed OS). The Databases are on MS SQL.
Some times we get very strange behaviour of bundles, policies and ZCC is slow. After taking the Databases down and reboot the four primaries the zone is working fine again for a time.
My question is: Do you reboot your Zone daily/weekly? I did'nt find any recommendations in the documentation.
Thanks in advance for letting me know how you handle this.
Kind regards
Sebastian

Hey
Zpm in place? Thats a large DB, I see 9GB with 2700 devices on sql.
This from the docs:
Check database integrity
Shrink database
Reorganize index
Rebuild index
Update statistics
Back up database
Do you do any of the above? You could give it a try?
