these details on the audit where it gets recorded..?
it's in audit trail file in the same directory as background process trace files or some where else..?It depends on the setting. If it is set to DB then it will be sent to the SYS.AUD$ table. This table doesn't need to be accessed directly. You can use the DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL view to get a more friendly look at the audit information.
If it is set to OS it will go to the operating systems audit trail.
It may be worth it to look at the documentation :)

How to find the number of users connected to database from OS level(Linux)

Hi All,
Could anyone know , how to find the number of users connected to database without connecting with sql*plus
is there any command to find it?
example we have 10 databases in one server, how to find the number of users connected to particular database without connecting to database(v$session)?
oracle version:- 10g,11g
Operating System:- OEL4/OEL5/AIX/Solaris
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Excellent.
Tested, works as long as you set the ORACLE_SID first ( to change databases )
ps -ef | grep $ORACLE_SID | grep "LOCAL=NO" | awk '{print $2}' | wc -l
Thanks!
select OSUSER
from V$SESSION
where AUDSID = SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','sessionid')
and rownum=1;Best Regards

How to trace which user shutdown oracle database in unix OS?

our organization is having 10 DBA with sysdba priviladge. We are using UNIX operating system. At morning say for example if some one (SYSDBA user) shutdown the oracle database how other sysdba user trace the user who shutdown the database? the information i need is terminal from where oracle got shutdown and the username? Please help...

Hello,
You are right Sybrand, SYSDBA connections are always audited.
My answer was about enabling auditing to any connections, which may give informations about who access to the Database in general. And, this is true, it was not the scope of the OP question.
However, so as to enlarge audit of SYS/SYSDBA/SYSOPER operations, setting the parameter audit_sys_operations=TRUE may be interesting:

To the OP:
Where the audit tracefile get genareted for sys user?You may execute this:
show parameter audit_file_destThank again Sybrand for correcting me.

Chat App: how to store the user IP in database when they login.

hello,
i am working on chat application. first i made a login GUI form. after login when we run the Chat program, it ask the ip address of the server to whom it want to connect. and if u enter the ip address, it will connect to the server and chat will begin, thats working perfect.
but i want to show the list of users who r logged on and when i simply click on the user name, chat should begin.
i have the logic that when any user log in, then its IP address will be stored in the database. this ip address will shown to the online users.
but i dont know how to store the user information in database when they log in. can any body suggest me wht lines of code i should use.
thanks.

If it's used on the internet, then your users' IP addresses will almost always be either a) those of their routers, or b) private IP addresses, and in both cases, multiple users can have the same IP address.
this ip address will shown to the online users. Why would you want to do that? I want to chat with "Bill", not with "1.2.3.4".
but i dont know how to store the user information in database when they log in.Do the same thing that you're currently doing to store the IP address, but with the other information you want to store.
can any body suggest me wht lines of code i should use. This is not a code writing service.

SYS user connects at database level, is it correct?

My senior colleague has given me following information about the sys user. I want to know, is it correct?
Since SYS user connects at the database level, therefore, on killing the active session of the SYS user,only the current statement is cancelled. The database session does not disconnect. Instead it continues to run the remaining statements in the script file in case we are running a script file containing a lot of SQL statements.

Instead it continues to run the remaining statements in the script file in case we are running a script file containing a lot of SQL statements.Running a SQL script very likely means SQL*Plus is used. One of two types of Oracle sessions will be created via sqlplus. A dedicated session. Or a shared server session.
A dedicated session can also be local (sqlplus connects "directly" to the dedicated server process), or remote (sqlplus connects via tcp/ip to the dedicated server process).
A server session is usually "killed" using the alter system kill session command. Despite the differences between shared and dedicated server connections, the end result is the same. The session terminates abnormally (session UGA will be released, session will be cleaned up, rolled back, etc) - and the session ceases to exist.
So irrespective of how that sqlplus session runs that script - the session, when killed, will cause a sqlplus failure. And no subsequent script commands would be executed by that Oracle session.
What can happen is that sqlplus continues running, continues reading the script, and continues submitting commands to be executed. However, with the server session killed, there is no server process to service the commands submitted by the sqlplus client. In this case, sqlplus will throw the error "+SP2-0640: Not connected+" after each of the commands it tries to execute after the server session was killed.
The only time when sqlplus will be able to continue is when the session is not killed, but interrupted. The Oracle Call Interface (OCI) supports a OCIBreak() call - allowing the client to interrupt-and-abort the request that its server session is currently executing.
For example, sqlplus sends a OCIBreak() while it waits for a server response (e.g. waiting for the answer to a SQL select query), when the user presses Ctrl-Break to abort that request.
In this case, the session still exists - and the client can issue a new request that the session will service. But an OCIBreak() cannot be triggered (to my knowledge) externally from another Oracle session. You need to send the client process a "break request" (like a Ctrl-Break keystroke) in order to trigger that client process to make an OCIBreak() call to Oracle and interrupt its server process.

Edited by: BalaKrishna Reddy Avuthu on Apr 11, 2009 5:04 PMNow that you know about the v$session and gv$session views, you could do some further research on your own. Go to tahiti.oracle.com, drill down to your product and version, the take a look at the Reference Manual. It will detail the entire data dictionary. Just look down through the list of v$ (or gv$) views for stuff that looks likely to have what you are looking for, then read up on those views.

Need To Trace Reports Server Connection to Database

Hi,
A customer is getting intermittent "Unable to connect to database" errors when running Oracle Reports.
We have tried teaking the Reports server's configuration, but the errors are still occuring.
I know how to set up a trace on the Reports server, but wonder how best to trace the server's connection/attempted connection to the database.
Is it possible to trace attempted connections?
Database is 9i 9.2.0.6, Reports server is OracleAS 10g 9.0.4.2.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Jim

There is a parameter SQL_TRACE which you can turn on and it will start tracing all the sessions at database level which is not preferred way. You need to enable the trace for only report server sessions for troubleshooting and you can do this by enabling the trace in specific sessions. You can do something like this:
Connect to database using report server
On the server identify the sessions belongs to report server connection
Enable the tracing for those sessions by using:
SQL> exec dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(SID,SERIAL#,true);
You can find the SID and SERIAL# (if your report server session) in V$SESSION view in database.
Then find the trace files in path defined user_dump_dest parameter. After getting the trace file use TKPROF to parse it. Just type at command prompt:
tkprof abc.trc abc.txt
It will convert the trace file into readable format.
Best Of Luck.

I use function module WS_QUERY to do exactly this thing. If it sends back RETURN = 'ITS" then it is connected to ESS/MSS. This has worked in our 6.20 and ECC6 systems, though I guess it may not work in exactly the same way in your system. There also might be a more modern method of a class to do the same thing.

How to write select query for all the user tables in database

Can any one tell me how to select the columns from all the user tables in a database

1.phone no

I have to select call time,record,agn from all the tables in a database...all database tables have the same column names but some may have additional columns..
Eg: select call time, record,agn from ah_t_table where phone no= 6186759765,memberid=j34563298
Query has to execute not only for this table but for all user tables in the database..all tables will start with ah_t

Delete all the user connected to one transaction.

During some periods, we need to lock some transaction to avoid user modify data while we are processing some critical jobs.
If the users are yet in the transaction when we lock the transaction they are not removed from the transaction and we need to kill them manually from SM04 transaction in each application server.
I have been trying to adapt the RSM04000_ALV program to do this but i'm stuck with the use of the pooled session.
I guess that the system when you select the session and click on end session, it mark in anyplace something to indicate to the fuction module TH_DELETE_USER that when the option ONLY_POOLED_USER is enable, only that session need to be killed.
Anybody know how this works? someone have a similar fuctionality in you system?
