System Hardening procedure

Has anyone written a system hardneing procedure for ArchLinx, say similar to
http://members.cox.net/laitcg/new/ss.html
or know one that can be used, or steps that are applicable?
chhers,
John :?:

It would be really cool though if some expert in security could write a similar wiki entry specific to Arch. I'm sure there are plenty of users here who know manu useful tricks. Hell.. we can even throw some tips together in this thread.

Creation of System Stored Procedure in SQL Server 2012 & SQL Server 2012 R2.

Hi all,
I am stuck at a point I am looking for a system stored procedure named 'sp_dboption' in SQL Server 2012 & R2 but could not find.
Searched for it on the net and found that, this stored procedure 'sp_dboption' is now obsolete. So I tried to copy the content of 'sp_dboption' stored procedure from SQL Server 2008 R2 and create new system stored procedure with this name 'sp_dboption' in
SQL Server 2012 but was unable to create the system stored procedure.
Can you guys please tell me how to create system stored procedure in SQL Server 2012 & SQL Server 2012 R2. The reason of why I want to achieve this is because I have used 'sp_dboption' system stored procedure in my application to create a database.
As 'sp_dbotion' stored procedure is present in SQL Server 2008 R2 I am able to create the database in SQL server 2008 R2 but not in SQL server 2012.
Can you please guide me how to create system stored procedure. I am out of luck.
Please assist me, thanks & looking for help at the earliest. Hope someone will come to the fore and help me.

Hi Vishwajeet,
If you tried to create any object in the sys schema, you will get the error below.
The specified schema name "sys" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.
So I am afraid creating any object in sys schema is not supported by SQL Server. Here is a similar link for your reference.
How to create table in SYS schema in SQL Server?
Though sp_dboption is not in SQL Server 2012, does creating a user-defined one with the same content in 2008 make any difference in your business? You just need to specify the fully qualified name dbname.dbo.sp_dboption.
If you are still interested in creating a system sp_dboption, you can register it with the
sp_ms_marksystemobject.

MS SQL Server system stored procedures can't be migrated into Oracle 11g

During database migration from MS SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g R2, if the application stored procedure invokes the MS SQL Server system stored procedures (for example: sp_getapplock, sp_releaseapplock ....), these SQL server system stored procedures can't be transferred. See following migrated Oracle application stored procedure for example:
create or replace
PROCEDURE spPwSysID_GetNextID
v_ID OUT NUMBER,
iv_SysType IN NVARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ,
iv_Cnt IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL
AS
v_SysType NVARCHAR2(50) := iv_SysType;
v_Cnt NUMBER(10,0) := iv_Cnt;
v_result NUMBER(10,0);
BEGIN
--SQL Server BEGIN TRANSACTION;
utils.incrementTrancount;
v_Systype := UPPER(v_Systype) ;
IF v_Cnt < 1 THEN
v_Cnt := 1 ;
END IF;
v_result :=sp_getapplock(v_Resource => v_Systype,
v_LockMode => 'Exclusive') ;
IF v_result >= 0 THEN
BEGIN
SELECT ID
INTO v_ID
FROM PWSYSID
WHERE SysType = v_SysType;
IF SQL%ROWCOUNT = 1 THEN
UPDATE PwSysID
SET ID = ID + v_cnt
WHERE SysType = v_SysType;
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO PwSysID
( ID, SysType )
VALUES ( v_cnt + 1, v_SysType );
v_ID := 1 ;
END;
END IF;
v_result :=sp_releaseapplock(v_Resource => v_Systype) ;
END;
ELSE
BEGIN
raise_application_error( -20002, 'Lock failed to acquire to generate Cityworks Id.' );
END;
END IF;
utils.commit_transaction;
END;

Replicating System Stored Procedures in MSA Setup

I started replicating system stored procedures in my MSA environment due to the fact that commands such as sp_rename was not making it to my MSA server. This caused some issues downstream resulting in the DSI goign down and having to manually apply these statements on the target server.
My question is, are there any cons/drawback to enabling such option
In reading the manual one of the requirements was that
Make sure that both the primary and replicate data servers are the same version of Adaptive Server.
I am Replication from Sybase Cluster Edition 15.7 SP131 to Sybase SMP 15.7 SP131. So far I have not encountered any issues but I don't like surprises.
Other requirements are met
When replicating DDL – the primary and replicate databases must have the same login names and passwords; the DSI uses the original server login name and password to log in to the replicate database.
For me the logins are identical on both servers so this is not an issue
To replicate DDL and system procedures:
Mark the primary database using sp_reptostandby.
Set the RepAgent parameter send warm standby xacts to true—even if there is no standby database
I also have a warm standby setup and I am using the logical connection as the primary dataserver so these conditions are also met
Thanks

System stored procedure

I am newbee in Oracle.
Are there any system stored procedures in Oracle to create a file on file system, as in SQL Server such as xsp_UpdateSignalFile, sp_makewebtask.
Pls advise.
Thanks

Thanks for the information.
I want to create a file on windows file system. Is that feasible? I tried with below code but got errors.....
PROCEDURE p_testproc
IS
v_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
v_filename varchar2(40):='dep.log';
v_locat varchar2(200):='c:\tmp\';
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line('proc begin.....');
if UTL_FILE.is_open(v_file) then
dbms_output.put_line('file opened');
else
dbms_output.put_line('file closed');
end if;
v_file:=SYS.UTL_FILE.FOPEN(v_locat,v_filename,'w');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(v_file);
dbms_output.put_line('File has been created');
END p_testproc;
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

System Copy Procedure

Hi Experts,
Here my client wants to move their system PRD to a new server that they acquired. The environment is Windows on Oracle 8.1.7 with 4.6 C.
So i would like to know that best way of moving the system to the new server.
The Homogeneous System Copy is there, but in 4.6C Version i am confusing to chose the Export option from the Kernel CD.
Previously i had done the System Copy with ECC 5.0. But in this version i am confusing.
pliz do advise me on this.
I would also be grateful if anyone can provide me with documentation on how to execute this procedure.
Waiting for your kind reply.
Regards,
Praveen Merugu

Hi Praveen,
If you only need to move a system into from one server to another with the same OS platform and DB Platform, then you can use System Copy.
if you are confused how to do this, then:
1. Install SAP instance and DB Instance in the new server, make sure the SID is the same with the old server.
2. Do offline backup of the old SAP Instance
3. restore the backup to your new server, make sure you delete all data files in the new server before you do this
4. generate the control file script in the old server
5. copy the script to your new server
6. execute the script to generate all the control file
7. Startup the database

Anggana

Homogeneus system copy procedure

Hi Gurus,
I have the following scenario:
ERP Netweaver 7.0 SR2(SAP_BASIS 709) Java + ABAP stack with Oracle 11.2.0.2 recently upgraded. I have to make a copy to the test system QAS.
The question is if i can use new sapinst versions, (obtaining the newers installation master and Java CDs like SR3 or EHP 2) and its procedures to make the copy.
Thanks in advance.

Your question is quite confusing. You are saying ERP Netweaver 7.0 but basis version is 709. There is no 709 version.
If your release is ERP 6.0/Netweaver 7.0 then you have to use installation master DVD of this version only. You cannot use EHP2 version DVD. And procedure of system copy is more or less same for 7.0 release or 7.02 release. You can check system copy guide on http://service.sap.com/instguides.

Calling System Stored Procedures (Eg: sp_help)

Hi,
Can you help me on how to call the System SPs like sp_help using JDBC?
I'm using com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver. I know that this will produce multiple ResultSet. Hope I can use the cstmt.getResultSet() to handle multiple ResultSets.
Code Snippet:
   try {
         cstmt = con.prepareCall("{call " + env + "..sp_help (" + table + ")}");
         cstmt.setString(1, table);
         if (cstmt.execute()) {
            rs =cstmt.getResultSet();The stmt.execute() is returning false. Can you help me on this!!

Bhavin:
You can call any stored procedures or functions which belong to any schema as long as you have thr proper privileges.
As long as you are granted as the following by SYS or DBA:
grant execute on ABS to SHAH;
You should be able to execute ABS regardless what's your client software (VB, JAVA, JSP, or SQLPLUS).
