Sql net

I have at times orphan threads running at the db level. To eliminate this, I want to have a sqlnet.ora file with parameter sqlnet.expire_time with 30.
Currently I don't see sqlnet.ora file under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
1. Does this mean db server side doesn't use sqlnet.ora at all?
2. Should I need to create a simple file sqlnet.ora with the required param?
3. Having this would pose any known performance issues?
Much appreciated.

Yes, that means your current configuration doesn't use sqlnet.ora file now.
You should consult Oracle® Database Net Services Reference to have a better understanding of the file and the parameters.

  • How to decipher SQL*Net protocols/packets?

    hi,
    we have a customer that sells compliance solutions that basically track and audit information at the packet level. in order to expand their customer base they would like to offer their solutions to customer that have business systems built on Oracle Forms 6.x and Pro*C. to do this they need to understand how our network communication works. is this something that is generally available? here are some details for what the partner wants from us ...
    Their product intercepts the communication between a typical Db client and Db server at packet level, performs analysis on the packets and extracts the information required for SOX compliance. It's been successfully installed and working for various versions of Oracle servers and Clients, however it does not handle Oracle Forms and pro*C clients.
    It also wrks for pro*c client except for bind variables and arrays.
    We need information on packet formats during communication between Oracle database and Forms and pro*c clients. This will help our product to work for SOX compliance for the customers who have FORMS and pro*c clients without replacing them
    I know that form Forms to DB its SQL*Net, not sure what the protocol is for PRO*C to DB communication but do we have documentation on both?

    Assuming you are on Windows, you can download the client installable from
    http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/oracle10g/10201/10201_client_win32.zip -- for Oracle 10g client

    If you are looking for any other version, please mention the same.

  • How to find out the size of files transferred over the SQL * Net?

    I am trying to test the Advanced Compress (AC) for 11g Data Guard. When the AC is turned on, the archived log files are supposed to be compressed on the primary database server and sent over SQL*Net, then decompressed on the standby db server. We will see the file sizes are the same on both primary and standby servers. I want to verify that the AC works by monitoring how much data are sent over SQL*Net. Per Oracle, AC uses 35% less of the bandwith. That means the size of the files transferred should be at least 65% of the original size.
    Is there a way to find out the size through Oracle utilities? If not, how to find out by OS utilities? OS is Solaris 5.10.
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure this can be done via SQL*Net, but a network packet sniffer between the two servers should be able to help - you might want to contact your network team.

  • TRACING IN SQL*NET V2

    제품 : SQL*NET
    작성날짜 : 1997-10-10
    Introduction
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    For most problems you need to identify the relevant parts of a
    connection to trace. To do this consider which scenario you are
    having problems with and where tracing needs to be enabled.
    Note that tracing produces a lot of output , especially at higher
    trace levels.
    There are 3 main areas of SQL*Net that can produce trace output:
    1 = the SQL*Net 'client'
    2 = the 'listener' process
    3 = the SQL*Net 'server'.
    a) Establishing a connection:
    Client ----> Listener ----> Server
    1 2 3
    b) An established connection:
    Client --------> Server
    1 3
    c) Opening a database link:
    Client ----> Server ----> Listener -----> Server2
    1 3 1 2 3
    Note here that the Oracle server process is also a SQL*Net
    client when it makes an outgoing call to a listener to
    open a database link. Database links are OPENED when first
    used. They should then remain open until closed.
    d) An established database link:
    Client ----> Server -----> Server2
    1 3 1 3
    In each case here there are several potential sampling points. You
    should be able to identify quickly which of these scenarios matches
    your setup. As these scenarios are likely to involve connections
    between different machines you should remember that tracing for any
    process is controlled by the configuration details that the process
    reads WHEN IT IS STARTED. This is especially important when looking
    at MTS connections as the SQL*Net server is the 'dispatcher' process.
    Some dispatchers are started when the database instance is started
    and others may start at a later time (on demand). Each dispatcher will
    read their SQL*Net configuration WHEN THEY START.
    7.2 Client Tracing
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    For client TOOLS edit or create the file $HOME/.sqlnet.ora and add
    the lines:
    trace_level_client=16
    trace_file_client=cli
    trace_directory_client=/tmp # Or a known directory
    trace_unique_client=true # Add '_pid' to trace filename
    This will turn on FULL tracing for your user account only producing
    output in a file called /tmp/cli_<PID>.trc .
    (For some SQL*Net versions the file will be just /tmp/cli.trc)
    For client 'ORACLE' process (as in the case of database links) put this
    same information into $TNS_ADMIN/sqlnet.ora file.
    On versions up to and including Oracle 7.0.16 client trace may not
    add a process ID to the name of the trace file. This means two
    processes may end up writing to the same trace file unless you
    take care to control which processes write trace output to each file.
    7.3 Listener Tracing
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Listener tracing can ONLY be configured in the listener.ora file.
    Add the lines below to the listener.ora file:
    trace_level_listener=16
    trace_file_listener=listener
    trace_directory_listener=/tmp # Or a known directory
    This will define FULL listener tracing to the file /tmp/listener.trc.
    You can enable this tracing by either:
    lsnrctl reload
    OR
    lsnrctl stop;
    lsnrctl start;
    TCP/IP
    ~~~~~~
    It is often useful to confirm that a listener is listening on a
    specified address. Most Unix machines include a command called
    'netstat' (Often in /etc or in /usr/etc). The command netstat -a
    should list all TCP/IP end points on which a listener is listening.
    Eg:
    For a listener listening on HOST=... PORT=1580 there should be a
    netstat entry of the form:
    RecvQ SendQ Local Address Foreign Address TCP state
    0 0 *.1580 *.* LISTEN
    Note: Some versions of netstat will only list established connections
    and not listen end points. See the man page on your machine.
    7.4 Server Tracing
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Server side trace is not required as often as the other two traces
    mainly because most problems are related to establishing a connection.
    Once a connection has been established the client and server processes
    are communicating. It is sometimes useful to see exactly what SQL
    commands have been received by the server, and what data it has sent
    back out.
    The file $TNS_ADMIN/sqlnet.ora controls the server side tracing. Add
    the lines below to this file:
    trace_level_server=16
    trace_file_server=server
    trace_directory_server=/tmp # Or a known directory
    Output should be sent to the file /tmp/server_<PID>.trc
    Note: Server side tracing acts on the SQL*Net server side.
    For dedicated connections this is the Oracle process on the
    server machine.
    For MTS connections this is the DISPATCHER and NOT the shared
    server. Data is passed between the dispatcher and the shared
    servers via the SGA and this does NOT involve SQL*Net.
    It is also important to note that as a dispatcher handles
    several client processes the dispatcher trace output can be a
    mix of trace from many client processes making it VERY difficult
    to follow. The general advice for such problems is:
    a) See if the problem reproduces WITHOUT using MTS - if
    so the trace is much cleaner
    b) If a problem ONLY reproduces under MTS ensure the machine
    is in a controlled environment so you can be sure that only
    YOUR process is using the dispatcher.
    7.5 Trace Summary
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    1) Identify where you need to trace.
    2) Identify which files on which machines control tracing at these
    points. Tracing is controlled in the following files:
    Client Server Listener
    ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
    Files: $HOME/.sqlnet.ora sqlnet.ora listener.ora
    sqlnet.ora
    3) Add in the relevant trace parameters (See Below)
    4) Restart any processes that need to read the new trace values.
    Reload the listener as required.
    5) Reproduce your problem
    6) Save all your trace output immediately
    7) Disable the tracing
    7.6 Main Trace Parameters
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    trace_level_listener = off
    trace_file_listener = Filename *1
    trace_directory_listener = Directory *2
    *1 Unquoted (") filenames will be translated into lower case.
    *2 You CANNOT use environment variables in the Filename or Directory
    name.
    7.7 Diagnosing Trace output
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Trace output can be very difficult to follow. Before looking at a
    trace file make sure:
    a) You are familiar with the sequence of events in setting up
    a connection. SQL*Net connections follow a sequence of
    events - you will need to determin where in the sequence
    the problem occurs.
    b) Do not be misled by error reports in the trace files. You
    must follow the context of the errors - an error may be
    quite valid at that point in a sequence. Eg: For client
    connections a list of addresses to call is built - if the
    first address yeilds no response the next address is tried.
    This next address may yeild a response and the 'true' error
    occurs at this point in the sequence.
    c) Do not be misled by unusual 'Bequeath' connections in the
    trace. If an error is received over SQL*Net the client
    may use a "Bequeath" operation to spawn an oracle process
    which it then uses to get the TEXT of the error. A very short
    exchange of packets occurs and the bequethed process exits.
    The 'TRUE' problem is likely to be before this bequeath
    operation.
    Useful trace 'tags':
    The following are useful items to follow in trace files - these
    are not guaranteed to be valid across all SQL*Net releases and
    are for guidance only. Entries are assumed to be taken at trace
    level 16 to allow data packets to be seen. This will produce a
    LOT of trace output.
    -<ERROR>-
    Error information follows. Remember the error may be acceptable
    osntns: Calling address
    Shows address list constructed for a call OUT to a listener
    nricall: Making call with following address information: ...
    Shows the ACTUAL address being called from the above list
    nsopen: entry
    We are about to try and open a connection.
    nsopen: transport is open
    nsopen: error exit
    A connection to the called address has been made / failed.
    nsclose: ...
    An established connection is being closed - check nearby
    for errors.
    nscall: redirected
    The client has been redirected to a differenct address.
    The next step should be to call the new address. The address
    should appear in an earlier data packet.
    nspsend / nsprecv
    Outgoung / Incoming data

    Here are some pointers that may be useful, but you may need to get more information elsewhere, for example Oracle Customer Support.
    a Oracle 7.1 client (including your example) will connect to an Oracle 8.1.5 server.
    Is the server correctly configured (can a client connect from another machine)?
    Tracing can be turned on in the client, server and/or listener to get further information.

  • Oracle12c SQL*NET blocked by Windows 2008 firewall - what is the correct solution?

    Hello,
    I have a question with regards to the SQL*NET traffic being blocked by the Windows 2008 firewall. This document shows that disabling the firewall can resolve the problem:
    https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=166773506396122&id=1472931.1&displayIndex=13&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=o4dq0hlih_112
    Is this really the solution?
    From what I understand from other documents is that just enabling port 1521 will not resolve any issues, as SQL*NET can use redirection to other random ports. That is probably the reason why the Oracle installation does not alter any firewall settings.
    What other methods do people use to connect a client to a DB server?
    This document shows what other methods to use, but who uses them?
    https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=166043735580557&id=68652.1&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=o4dq0hlih_78
    Does anyone use the Oracle Connection Manager for example?
    Thanks

  • How to connect to DB in repository assistant using SQL*net

    Hi all,
    We are in RAC enviroment. When I try to connecting to oracle DB in repository assistant (the page that asks for SYS account), I check the SQL*net, and enter the net service name (absolutly also enter the SYS and SYS psw field), but the 'next' button is grey out.
    according to installation guide, in a RAC environment, do not type the host name, port number and oracle service name. But in my case, I have to enter all these fields to enable the 'next' button.
    any idea of how to fix it?
    thanks

    I forget to say that I can connect to the repository browser using SQL*net. So I suppose that net service name is correct.
    thanks for any suggestion.

  • How to drill down the cause of "SQL*Net message from/to client"

    Pretty frustrated with my tune up using suggestions from many papers for Oracle 10g R2 on AIX 5.3 L system. My users told me that the system (including Baan 5c) still responds slowly in some processes, some even worsen.
    Using both queries such as
    SELECT sid, schemaname, status FROM gv$session ORDER BY 2;
    SELECT inst_id, seq#, event, p1, p2, p3, wait_time FROM v$session_wait_history WHERE sid=<sid from above>
    INST_ID SEQ# EVENT P1 P2 P3 WAIT_TIME
    1 1 SQL*Net message from client 1413697536 1 0 6419
    1 2 SQL*Net message to client 1413697536 1 0 0
    and others similar, I found very large numbers (almost 97%) of the sessions have events as “SQL*Net message to client” and “SQL*Net message from client” on their wait_time even the sids are in inactive status. After checking the meaning of those messages in Oracle Performance and Tuning document, the document states that mainly they are probably network problems. So How can I drill down to what status of network from my client (the users) to server by Oracle or AIX? In Baan, it has its own parameter sets in its db_resource file controlling the connectivity. In average, there are 4000 “opened cursor current”, but most of them inactives.
    So my colleague asked me rollback all th changes I did on OS level such as minperm%=5
    maxperm%=90
    maxclient%=90,
    lgpg_regions lgpg_size,
    sys0 maxuproc=512,
    aio0 maxservers='260'
    and many ioo parameters to system defaults.
    I even removed the mulitplex copy of the redo log.
    I tried to proof them that there maybe the problem of the Baan/Oracle connectivity, ie due to message above,

    http://docs.oracle.com ... read them for configuration information.

    People that change things, on production boxes, without first determining that metrics indicate they are a good idea, and then determining their impact on a test box, should be sold to zoos as leopard food.

    이러한 방법은 SQL*NET 과는 직접적인 관련이 없으며, SQL*NET 은
    Serial Line 을 통해 바로 접속이 됩니다.
    따라서 Serial line (Modem)과 Ethernet (Lan card) 을 통한 접속은
    TCP/IP 설정만 올바르게 되어있다면 SQL*NET 이상없이 접속할수
    있으며 이상유무를 SQL*NET 에서 볼수는 없읍니다

    When someone answers you, please forward the answer to my email. I am trying to connect to an Oracle db from Visual Basic, and need the component. I have downloaded software from this site, but it did not have the SQL Net.

  • Using blobs with SQL*Net 8

    Hello,
    Can someone please help me get oriented in the following:
    Clients have Oracle Forms Developer 6i installed on 100 machines. This is from 1996 I think. It comes with SQL*Net 8.
    They want a simple utility that uploads a file into a blob field on the remote database.
    I already developed the utility thinking that they have Oracle 9i2 installed - so I used OCCI. This is not a possibility with the old technology they are actually using..
    So what is the place to start?
    Thank you!!
    david

    You can try with PRO-C

  • Oracle SQL*Net and TNS Protocol

    I need to get technical documents on Oracle SQL*Net and TNS Proticol, down to the bit-level definition. I have talked to serveral people in Oracle Documentation, Sales and Tech Support, but no one could give me any clue so far. Any one can help me on this?

    SQL*Net is installed by default with SQL*Plus and any of the clients (OEM uses the JDBC OCI driver and some native connectivity).
    It is likely that the version of the client you have installed is not one that TOAD can work with or it can't find the client (is the Oracle home/bin directory in the path?)

  • CLIENT SIDE TRACING IN SQL*NET V2

    제품 : SQL*NET
    작성날짜 : 1997-10-10
    Client Tracing
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    1) Set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN to the directory where the
    tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files exist.
    The default location is $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin. Set $TNS_ADMIN
    to this if it is not set. This ENSURES you know which files you are
    using.
    2) Start the listener: lsnrctl
    > set password <password>
    > start
    Note any errors. If you do not have a password set then ignore the
    set password command.
    3) If the listener started, start the database.
    4) Create a file in $HOME called .sqlnet.ora and add the lines:
    trace_level_client= 16
    trace_file_client=client
    trace_directory_client= /tmp (or similar)
    trace_unique_client=true
    5) Try to connect from SQL*Plus thus:
    sqlplus username/password@alias
    or
    sqlplus username/password
    substituting a suitable alias.
    6) If you get an error we may need to see the client trace file
    /tmp/client_<PID>.trc where <PID> is the process ID of the
    client process (*1).
    This will be quite large so it is best to FAX or EMAIL it.
    *1 Note: On earlier versions of SQL*Net the filename may NOT have
    the process ID appended to it.
    Listener Tracing:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    1) Edit your $TNS_ADMIN/listener.ora file and add the lines:
    TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER = 16
    TRACE_DIRECTORY_LISTENER = /tmp
    TRACE_FILE_LISTENER = "listener"
    2) Stop and restart the listener:
    lsnrctl stop
    lsnrctl start
    Output should go to /tmp/listener.trc

    By default in 11g traces will go to the ADR which is a new feature.
    To disable that feature add the following line to your sqlnet.ora
    diag_adr_enabled =OFF
    [oops] saw that this is over a month old this post - sorry about that!
    hope that helps

  • Query started taking longer time with SQL*Net message from dblink

    Hi,

  • Getting SQL*Net more data from client waits when running a query through web based interface

    Hi, you all,
    We are having this weird behavior when running query through web based interface, we get a lot of "SQL*Net more data from client" waits, the OEM indicates that the current wait event is SQL*Net more data from client
    It's just a very simple query wich invokes a db link.
    When I execute the same query on any PL/SQL tool like toad or sql developer it works fine, but that query inside an application executed through a web based interface, it hangs for ever.
    Where can I start looking for the problem.
    We are working on a 3 Node RAC 11gr2, both databases are on the same RAC.
    Thanks.

    Hi ,
    we managed to reproduce the case in test environment, below are the steps:
    1)have 2 databases on different machines, will call the first one local, the other one remote.
    2)in the local database create:
    a - DBLink to remote database.
    b - read data from remote database(we simply used select count(*) from dummy_table )
    c - insert data into a table on the local database
    d - terminate the connection between the 2 databases (disconnect either machine from the network)
    e - commit on local database.
    what we noticed was the following:
    1)when the local database is disconnected from the network(the machine is not connected to any network at the moment): almost immediately throws an error, and issuing the following:
    select * from dba_2pc_pending;we found some data .
    2) when the remote database was disconnected(the local database is still connected to the network):
    after 7-8 seconds an error is thrown, and issuing the following:
    select * from dba_2pc_pending;did not return any data.
    since this is pretty similar to our case ,we concluded that it's a network issue.
    is this the correct behavior ?
    as a temporary solution till the network issue is fixed ,we did the following:
    1) changed the call of the remote procedure to calling a local procedure that calls the remote procedure.
    2) added pragma autonomous_transaction to the local procedure.
    3) at the end of the local procedure rollback the autonomous transaction.
    it seems that since the global transaction does not use the DBLink database does not issue a 2PC commit.
    this works in my cases since the DBLink is only issed to read data.

  • How to configure SQL*Net to survive minor dropouts?

    Hi,
    We have recently started developing over a VPN to our server. The VPN is not brilliant and we get minor dropouts for a second or so. This is causing SQL*Net to dropout and we need to re-connect and re-start all our Apps (SQL*Plus, Forms Builder, etc).
    Is there an SQL*Net setting which can keep the connection open, even if the network drops for 1-2 seconds?
    Cheers,
    Tim.

    Yes, a VPN is extremely important. Just as it's the job of DBAs to protect and maintain data, it is the job of a Network Administrator to keep the network functioning correctly. I'd say that having your NAs take care of the VPN problem is paramount to not only solving your issue, but also in keeping your company's infrastructure on-track and maintainable.
    P.S. I was an NA in one of my previous lives :(
