I have checked the required entries in integrationGateway.properties files for proxy server.
Also have checked the userid:pwd entered in Proxy-Authorization property for HTTPTARGET connector ID.
I have restarted the servers and machines as well but still the same error.
Kindly help me ?

RCC wrote:
I agree with Hakan, sounds like your problem is getting to the proxy.
Is the SES server on the same network as PS? Or is it really somewhere else? Is this some kind of home setup since you are running PS on Win 7? If SES is on the same network as PS, I would drop the proxy config and test that way first. Get it working without the extra complexity, then add in Proxy. You can test connectivity from PS to SES with telnet or just browsing to SES.
Thanks for the response RCC.
The PS is a Demo Instance being used for study purpose. Both the machines are on the same network.
I tried the ping after removing the entries in integrationGateway.properties files for proxy server and it worked.
Ping, Test Login and Validate are successful.
I get the following error when I check Proxy Login.
Proxy login failed : Invalid credentials for the federation entity (262,1317) (262,1318)
I have created Federation Trusted Entity key by the name HCM92 on Oracle SES side and am using the same ID and password in the Query Service Credentials on the Search Instance Properties Page.
I was not getting any error in any log file related to this.

How to synchronize with Oracle 11 g

Hi @ all,
since a longer time I try to synchronize a Oracle Database Lite with Oracle 11 g over Mobile Server. But I still hadn't any success. I wanna use C# 3.5 and ADO.NET. Oracle Lite documentation is very bad, did not helped me. I cannot understand how to design a mobile sync application. Is it neccessary to use Mobile Database Workbench and Packaging Wizzard and to publish my mobile application to Mobile Server? Is too complex, I don't need/want this. All I wanna do is to use offline Oracle Lite Database on my PDA and synchronize the data during ActiveSync-connection with a Oracle 11 g data base. I tried also OracleSync classe and OracleEngine.Synchronize() and BGSyncControl, but nothing worked. I talked to our oracle support but they only send me links to tuorials sites I already read. I'm very unhappy about synchronization in Oracle Lite.
Has anyone successfully done synchronization with Oracle Lite and Oracle 11 g on a mobile device and can give me some hints or sample code? Or is there any mobile database which is better for synchronization?
Thank you very much for your answers or your code examples.
Aness

When attempting to synchronize Oracle Lite with the Windows Mobile emulator, ActiveSync is not able to establish a connection with the emulator device after the emulator device is set to emulate being cradled with the Device Emulator Manager.
Cause
The SERDMAAsPlugin.dll is not registered on the host system.
Solution
1. Open a Command Prompt.
Start, Run, cmd
2. Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Device Emulator\1.0\ directory.
3. Register the SERDMAAsPlugin.dll.
regsvr32 SERDMAAsPlugin.dll
4. Reset the emulator device.
5. Open Microsoft ActiveSync.
6. Select File, Connection Settings.
7. Ensure that "Allow connections to one of the following" is checked and that the DMA connection type is listed within the drop down box.

SAP ECC6.0 installation with Oracle RAC

Hi Expert,
Current we working on SAP ECC6.0 installation with Oracle 10G RAC on AIX 5.3. The RAC are running on two nodes (servers). And we are using GPFS filesystem (not running on HACMP).
Overall we had completed the Oracle RAC installation (CRS+RDBMS) and tested the oracle failover and it work find. Now we want to start with the SAP installation (with HA). In the SAP installation documentation, it did request to create a virtual hostname on the node and execute the sapinst scripts with below command line.
#./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=ascs00
But if we are running on Oracle RAC + GPFS do we need to specify the virtual hostname? If not, which hostname i should use to install the HA for SAP? Please advice.
Regards.

And then I'd continue with the documentation at:
SAP on Oracle => SAP on Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC)
There you can find several installation guides for windows/UNIX/Linux

Registering the ACFS filesystem with CRS

Grid version:11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10
I want to register the ACFS filesystem with the CRS. Which option should I use ; Option A or Option B ?
Option A.
From
http://www.unbreakablecloud.com/wordpress/2011/02/01/acfs-file-system-setup/
You can add the file system using the following srvctl command:
#srvctl add filesystem -d /dev/asm/fs1-334 -v FS1 -g ACFSDG -m /fs1 -u oracle
Start the file systems
#srvctl start filesystem -d /dev/asm/fs1-334 -n node1 (please sure to change node1 to whatever your nodename)
When the system gets rebooted the file systems will be automatically mounted by Oracle Clusterware.or
Option B.
Example borrowed from oracle-base
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/acfs-11gr2.php
After , creating the Disk group, Creating the volume and enabling it. The following commands are run
-- creating the ACFS
/sbin/mkfs -t acfs -b 4k /dev/asm/acfsvol3-301 -n "ASMVOL3"
--- mounting the ACFS
$ /sbin/acfsutil registry -f -a /dev/asm/acfsvol3-301 /u01/app/oracle/acfsmounts/data_acfsvol3
Do these commands (option 2) register ACFS filesystem with CRS ?In option A, I am curious why he is running srvctl from root (I can see # sign ) ?
Another related question:
Is there any advantage in having ACFS registered with CRS ?

Omega3 -
Both options result in a mount point that is managed by CRS. I refer to this as a managed mount point.
The difference really comes down to what you want to do with it.
If you want a mount point that you can use on all nodes of the cluster and that you can create dependencies on, then use srvctl.
If you want a mount point that is node-local, then you can use acfsutil registry.
If you don't have either of those situations, then you can use either.
Generally, I recommend using 'srvctl'.
As pointed out, you can easily create the resource using ASMCA.
The advantage of this method is that you can create other resources, such as for user defined programs, and create STOP and START dependencies on the ACFS resource. This will ensure that the ACFS file system is mounted before those programs stop and start.
Also, keep in mind that if you are planning on putting large numbers of ACFS file systems in the registry, you may run into some timing issues. The ACFS registry resource has a finite TIMEOUT value, and may run out of time to look at all the file systems\volumes and ensure that they are operating as expected. This is another case where the single file system resource has an advantage.
In either case, add it and forget about it - it should just work. :)

LDAP syncronization with Oracle DB. Related questions.

Hello everybody,
The problem / objective: I have an Oracle DB with information for clients (ie). And I want to store that information in an LDAP server and have that information syncronized with the Oracle DB.
I alredy read A LOT about this but no luck. I have tried ApacheDS and Microsoft AD for the LDAP servers. I was able to install both of them and I was able to create a trigger in my OracleDB in order to trigger actions and add/delete/update records on the LDAP server. But, I need that the trigger works both ways. So I need a trigger in ApacheDS or AD. And here is the problem. This is not supported.
While reading about this, I found information about Oracle Internet Directory. So, here is my first questions:
1- Is OID an Ldap Server? I believe it is, but, is like Apache DS or AD? (In other words, is like a service which I can connect and implement CRUD operations?)
2- OID is just supported/deplyed with Oracle 11g?
3- Can I synchronize my Oracle DB with OID? I mean, if a change is made in the Oracle DB then this change is implemented on the OID, and backwards. (like triggers, in both ways)
4- If OID is like AD, then, is this the best LDAP server to use?
And talking about Microsoft Active Directory (AD), how can I achieve this?. I read about third party tools to do this (Quest Quick Connect, Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager), but I want to find another solution like triggers. (If is possible, if not.. then is not a solution :) ).
Probably the questions are not very clear (the problem is clear), but I have a mess in my head now.. and I want some council about this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Firstly I would suggest you to upgrade your database from Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 to Oracle Release 11.2.0.2 . This is the recommended Oracle 11g database version for SAP solutions. Many of your problem will get resolved with it.
Question 1:
So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
For immediate resolution the approach you have followed is correct viz limiting number of dialog processes for RFC. Secondly you need to analyze why RFC processing takes so much time. You need check which programs are getting executed by those RFC.
Generate EarlyWatch report for more detailed view
Question 2:
My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before.
The libttsh11.so library cannot be found in the related directory.
Cause
The file system is mounted using CIO option, but per Note 257338.1 Direct I/O (DIO) and Concurrent I/O (CIO) on AIX 5L, an ORACLE_HOME on a filesystem mounted with "cio" option is not supported.
Such a configuration will cause, installation, relinking and other unexpected problems.
Solution
Disable the CIO option on the filesystem.

Hope this helps.

BW30B install with Oracle 9.2 - Install error

I am trying to install BW30B with Oracle 9.2 on a Sun Solaris 64bit machine. I am using Exceed to display the installation GUI.
I keep getting the error message:
Unable to access file <Path>/SAPENV.SH Permission Denied.
I am running the install with root permissions. The above path does exist and I have given all the files 777 rights. I have in turn given the <SID>adm and ora<SID> directories 777 access. It looks like its trying to copy the scripts from the /UNIX/COMMON/INSTALL directory into the <SID>adm & ora<SID> directories when it fails.
By Default none of us have root permissions. To work around this we start the installation as sapadm and add the install path to the sudo list so that the install runs with root permissions.
Eg: sapadm> sudo /sapcd/BWINSTALL/INSTALL
The destination filesystem is remotely mounted, though i think that's not the problem as we have successfully installed SAP from that path before. The error message from the sapinst log file is below. Also the userid's have already been created and I have set their home directories to 777 permissions.

Hi johnny,
You should first check the hosts file to see if the correct hostname and the IP address are shown. You can also check if the "hostname" command returns the correct result. If everything looks good so far, then next check if command "nslookup" returns the correct IP address. If the nslookup <hostname> command returns error, you will need to talk to the Domain Name Server (DNS) administrator to correct this network configuration problem.

Does Linux filesystem undermine Oracle's recovery mechanism?

I've been an Oracle DBA for 10 years and have been using Oracle
on Linux for several months, but am not a Linux expert by any
means. A client told me something about the filesystem Linux uses
(x2?) that I find hard to believe. Can anyone shed some light on
this?
The claim is that the Linux filesystem does not implement
synchronous writes correctly. The implication is that when a user
commits a transaction and Oracle flushes the redo log to disk,
Oracle may think the redo information has been successfully
written when in fact its still sitting in a buffer somewhere
waiting to write. If a drive failure occurs, the redo might never
get written, but meanwhile the user has already been informed
their transaction has been committed.
Oracle does not flush data block buffers to disk when you commit
a transaction. Only the redo is flushed. If the instance were to
fail, Oracle reads the redo when you restart the instance and
performs instance recovery automatically.
If the Linux filesystem does not implement synchronous writes
legitimately, then the recovery mechanisms in Oracle are
compromised--indeed a successful commit is not a guarantee of
data permanence.
Its hard to believe that this could be true; I don't see how
Oracle Corporation could put so much effort into porting their
flagship products to Linux if data permanence cannot be
guaranteed.
Is my client mistaken in their understanding of the Linux
filesystem? Any insights from the Linux gurus out there would be
gratefully appreciated!

The problem doesn't lie with Linux - fsync() and O_SYNC are
supported and, AFAIK, behave correctly.
The problem is that Oracle doesn't appear to use them. The redo
logs arnt fsync'ed on commit, nor do they appear to be opened
with O_SYNC.
Data loss will result, as you point out, if the RDBMS doesn't
tell the operating system to save the data synchronously.
Play with strace()ing the RDBMS background processes and confirm
this for yourself.
I'm not in a position to progress this with Oracle. Someone,
obviously, should, otherwise the next article on ZDNet could be
"Linux causes massive Oracle dataloss"..

Capacity Plan with Oracle 10g

Good Day to all,
I've little time working in environments with Oracle databases, I have requested to carry out a capacity plan with Oracle Database 10g for a data warehouse project that is leading the company in which they work. I request to make a plan specifying, among other things: size and number of tablespace and datafiles, projection growth taking into account the initial charge and the charge per week (incremental). The truth is a bit complicated for my inexperience in this kind of sizing requirements we will ask for your valuable cooperation. There are mathematical formulas that allow me to take those projections into account the type of data and their lengths? , There is a standard for creating the tablespace and datafiles?.
In advance thank you for your contributions.

The first thing you need to get management to do is give you two things.
1. The cost to the organization for downtime, rated in dollars/hour.
2. The service level agreement for the system's customers.
3. The amount of data to be loaded into the system and the retention time.
4. What version of RAID or what ASM redundancy is planned.
With that you can start at the grossest level which is planning for database + archived redo logs + online back files.
I generally figure the database, itself, at about 25% of required storage because I like to have at least two full backups, a bunch of incremental backups, plus all of the archived redo logs that support them. And all on separate shelves.
The number of tablespaces and data files is really just a question of maintenance. Ease of transport. Ease of movement. Ease of backing up.
If you want to get down to the actual sizes of tables and indexes the best place to go is the DBMS_SPACE built-in package. Play with these two procedures:
CREATE_TABLE_COST and CREATE_INDEX_COST which do the job far more efficiently and accurately than any formulas you will receive. You can find demos
of this capability here: http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/dbms_space.html.

Huge Databases to be indexed with Oracle Text?

Is there anybody with experience with Oracle Databases with several TB and an fulltext index with Oracle Text? Are there any success stories by oracle?

Oracle Text, data load by partitation, async refresh index.
Hi Gurus,

PHP5 with Oracle

Hello !
I have IIS on winXP and PHP5 + oracle 9i2 installed.
When I try to use it with oracle, I get the error message:
Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\ext\php_oci8.dll' - The specified module could not be found
Thanks for any help

Best tool to track an "Unable to load dynamic library " problem is Filemon.
Use it to get a log of all filesystem actions.
