Shell scripting for oracle DBs

looking for good source for shell scripting for oracle DBs

Just buy 'Classic Shell Scripting' and 'the Unix Desktop Reference' both published by O'Reilly and you have it all.
But if you want a platform agnostic scripting language use Perl. Comes with Oracle.
However both bash and kornshell are a lot easier compared to Perl.

Can anybody provide AIX shell script for Oracle Apps R12 instance backup

Hi
Can anybody provide AIX shell script for Oracle Apps R12 instance backup? Manually, i am able to backup but i donot have shell script to schedule through crontab.
Help me please.
Thanks

Rman can be used for Database, not for Application tier. Again, I assumed you are looking for a script to backup the database. For the application tier, you can simply do a filesystem backup.
I still do not understand your concern? Is it about using crontab? If so, then check here --> man crontab <--

Shell script for oracle alert.log file

Hi Gurus,
I wanted to write shell script to know the last 10 shutdown timings of the database from alert log file. I'm working on oracle 9i.
Could anyone please advice on this.
Thanks in advance

Shaan

Use awk. I don't have a 9i to hand but here is a very simple version for 10g XE
My awk file (the line numbers are for the notes below - don't include them:
01:BEGIN { prevline = "";}
02:
03:/Completed: alter database close/ {print prevline,FS,$0;}
04:
05:{prevline = $0;}The command line and results (from my 300k alert log)
$ awk -f alert.awk.txt alert_xe.log
Fri Apr 11 18:08:40 2008   Completed: alter database close normal
Fri May 16 18:53:21 2008   Completed: alter database close normal
Tue May 20 17:28:23 2008   Completed: alter database close normal
Thu Jul 17 19:08:52 2008   Completed: alter database close normal
Fri Aug 15 15:12:48 2008   Completed: alter database close normal
Wed Nov 05 08:52:59 2008   Completed: alter database close normal
Fri Nov 14 16:36:03 2008   Completed: alter database close normal
Tue Dec 09 10:46:23 2008   Completed: alter database close normal
Mon Jan 05 11:12:22 2009   Completed: alter database close normalWhat it means:
1) the BEGIN section at line 01 defines the variable to hold the previous line
2) the /search string/ at line 03 finds the marker in the file for a shutdown, then does the required action (print the time which was in the previous line, and then this line; use FS (the awk field separator - normally space) as a separator
3) at line 05 is an instruction we do on every line - so we remember it in case it is the timestamp for the shutdown.
Now, you can include more of the corner cases for shutdowns by adding more search patterns etc. For more information, google for awk examples.
Awk is really good at this sort of thing!

Shell Scripts for Oracle monitoring????????????

Hi All
I am planning to monitor oracle through Unix scripts.Can anybody tell me where can i find such readymade scripts e.g. to check if Instance is up and running,listener is up and running,error in alert log,space in tablespace etc...
Thanx
Gagan

I think asm is in an early adoption phase, as there are few sites that reference to asm administration scripts, but a couple can be found, just to start:
http://halisway.hifichoice.com/oraasm
and a sample asm to list files:
##### list_all_files.sql
##### generate a list of all the asm files / directories / aliasses for a given database
column full_alias_path format a70
column file_type format a15
select concat('+'||gname, sys_connect_by_path(aname, '/')) full_alias_path,
       system_created, alias_directory, file_type
from ( select b.name gname, a.parent_index pindex, a.name aname,
              a.reference_index rindex , a.system_created, a.alias_directory,
              c.type file_type
       from v$asm_alias a, v$asm_diskgroup b, v$asm_file c
       where a.group_number = b.group_number
             and a.group_number = c.group_number(+)
             and a.file_number = c.file_number(+)
             and a.file_incarnation = c.incarnation(+)
start with (mod(pindex, power(2, 24))) = 0
            and rindex in
                ( select a.reference_index
                  from v$asm_alias a, v$asm_diskgroup b
                  where a.group_number = b.group_number
                        and (mod(a.parent_index, power(2, 24))) = 0
                        and a.name = '&DATABASENAME'
connect by prior rindex = pindex;~ Madrid.

Shell script for export backup in oracle 11g

Hi,
Oracle version 11.2.0..
O/S-AIX
How to write shell script for export full backup in oracle 11g and also need to remove 2 days of old backup.
Regards,
Raju

How to write shell script for export full backup in oracle 11g
Do you mean that export is your backup strategy ? is your database running in noarchivelog mode ? if so, then why ? if not so, then why not RMAN ?
need to remove 2 days of old backup.
If that mean remove files older than 2 days, you can use something like this :
$ find <absolute directory path> -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;

Need Help in creating Unix Shell Script for database

Would be appreciable if some one can help in creating unix shell script for the Oracle DB 10,11g.
Here is the condition which i want to implement.
1. Create shell script to create the database with 10GB TB SPACE and 3 groups of redo log file(Each 300MB).
2. Increase size of redolog file.
3. Load sample schema.
4. dump the schema.
5. Create empty db (Script should check if db already exists and drop it in this case).
6. Create backup using rman.
7. restore backup which you have backed up.

This isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site. Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code. But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours. There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

Shell script for archive log transfer

hi
I dont want to reinvent the wheel.
I am looking for shell script for log shipping to provide standby db.
What I want to do is, get the last applied archived log number from alert.log
Copy the files from archive destination according to this value.
Cheers

If you don't want to re-invent the wheel you use Dataguard, no scripts.
And your script should use the dictionary, instead of some bs method to read the alert.
v$archived_log has all information!
Also as far as I know, the documentation describes manual standby.
So apparently you not only don't want to reinvent the wheel, but you want the script on a silver plate on your doorstep!
Typical attitude of most DBAs here. Use OTN for a permanent vacation.

I woudn't suggest you to work with EM if you want to be a professional DBA. Start learning RMAN and use CLI instead of GUI

Hi,
/oracle/bin/exp pin@voipdbstg/pin file=voip.dmp owner=pin log=voip.log
should be
/oracle/bin/exp pin/pin@voipdbstg file=voip.dmp owner=pin log=voip.log
Also for running the script is background and you should be able to log out of shell scriptthen run the command in nohup mode.
$nohup export.sh&

Shell Script for Startup and Shutdown the database

Hi,
i want Shell Script for Startup and Shutdown the database in Solaries.

Thanks & Regards,

SHUTDOWN
SHUTDOWN ABORT]
Shuts down a currently running Oracle instance, optionally closing and dismounting a database.
Terms
Refer to the following list for a description of each term or clause:
ABORT
Proceeds with the fastest possible shutdown of the database without waiting for calls to complete or users to disconnect.
Uncommitted transactions are not rolled back. Client SQL statements currently being processed are terminated. All users currently connected to the database are implicitly disconnected and the next database startup will require instance recovery.
You must use this option if a background process terminates abnormally.
IMMEDIATE
Does not wait for current calls to complete or users to disconnect from the database.
Further connects are prohibited. The database is closed and dismounted. The instance is shutdown and no instance recovery is required on the next database startup.
NORMAL
NORMAL is the default option which waits for users to disconnect from the database.
Further connects are prohibited. The database is closed and dismounted. The instance is shutdown and no instance recovery is required on the next database startup.
TRANSACTIONAL [LOCAL]
Performs a planned shutdown of an instance while allowing active transactions to complete first. It prevents clients from losing work without requiring all users to log off.
No client can start a new transaction on this instance. Attempting to start a new transaction results in disconnection. After completion of all transactions, any client still connected to the instance is disconnected. Now the instance shuts down just as it would if a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE statement was submitted. The next startup of the database will not require any instance recovery procedures.
The LOCAL mode specifies a transactional shutdown on the local instance only, so that it only waits on local transactions to complete, not all transactions. This is useful, for example, for scheduled outage maintenance.
Usage
SHUTDOWN with no arguments is equivalent to SHUTDOWN NORMAL.
You must be connected to a database as SYSOPER, or SYSDBA. You cannot connect via a multi-threaded server. For more information about connecting to a database, see the CONNECT command earlier in this chapter.

I want to run a shell script from oracle PL/sql. I know dbms_scheduler can be used to create job , enable job and run it .
But I have a requirement where I need to know if my script ran successfully or not. Something like a return code back to oracle.
So that I can run appropriate code depending on return code of executed Script.
Kindly help !!

Can we call shell script from oracle 9i?

Hi experts,
I wanted to know can we call shell script from oracle 9i procedures? If yes,how
Thanks
Shaan

No. I can't think of a way to do this...
If you want you can use DBMS_SCHEDULER to call OS SHELL scripts within.
For e.g.
CREATE PROGRAM
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_program
program_name => 'CHECK_TIME',
program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
program_action => '/opt/oracle/chk_date.sh',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'Check the Time'
end;
CREATE A SHELL SCRIPT
opt/oracle> cat chk_date.sh
#!/usr/bin/ksh
echo "The date is :`date`"
CREATE SCHEDULE
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_schedule
schedule_name => 'EVERY_30_MINS',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MINUTELY; INTERVAL=30',
comments => 'Every 30-mins'
end;
CREATE JOB
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job
job_name => 'RUN_CHECK_TIME',
program_name => 'CHECK_TIME',
schedule_name => 'EVERY_30_MINS',
comments => 'Run the program CHECK_TIME every 30 minutes',
enabled => TRUE
end;
MANUALLY RUN A JOB
exec dbms_scheduler.run_job('RUN_CHECK_TIME');
