Weblogic 5.1, Distributed Transaction and Oracle Database Link

We are planning to add a new functionality to run in Weblogic server and it
needs to update tables in two different Oracle databases. Since we are using
Weblogic 5.1 and it is unrealistic to upgrade to 6.1 in short term, we have
to deal with the fact that distributed transaction is not supported by JTS
on 5.1.
One workaround we can think of is to utilize Oracle database link. Instead
of having two connection pools, the application talks to only one database
and access the tables on the other ones through Oracle database link.
Therefore, when a session bean tries to update two tables on database 1 in
one transaction, one of the tables is just a link to the other database. We
hope that even though distributed transaction is not supported by JTS in
Weblogic 5.1, but since it is supported by Orable, it would work.
Do you think the above workaround would work? Does anyone have experience on
something like that?
Thanks in advance,
David Chen

Hi. You should be able to use any JDBC driver with WebLogic 5.1.
It may be the JVM that complains, if you use too old a JVM...

How to configure distributed transaction in Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC? (ORA-02047)

I am connecting from Oracle to another database server (MS SQL Server, DB2 the error message is the same) through an ODBC connection using Oracle SQL Developer. (This is how I set up)
I want to query the schema of a non-Oracle database using the data dictionary mapping of the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC.
This works well:
select * from all_tables@katimssql;
But this doesn't:
create table alltables_mssql as
select * from all_tables@katimssql;
Output:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress
ORA-06512: at "SYS.HS$_DDTF_SQLTABLES", line 58
ORA-06512: at line 1
Does anyone know the solution of this?
Thanks in advance,
Kata
Details:
Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP2) - 10.0.4000.0 (X64)
ODBC Driver: SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (32 bit)
initkatimssql.ora:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=katimssql
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY_AUTOCOMMIT
I tried these, none of them worked, the error message is the same.
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = off
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = SINGLE_SITE
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY_AUTOCOMMIT
HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL = READ_ONLY

Hi Kata,
this won't work as the ALL_TABLES is not a table that exists in your SQl Server - instead it is a "mimicked" table. This means the gateway will check if you have on your SQL Server a table called all_tables and when there's no table it will start an internal mechanism to check out what sort of tables exist in your SQL Server database. So the gateway is starting internally another transaction to get details from the foreign database and DG4ODBC can't participate in distributed transactions at all. Instead of using all_tables you have to use a real SQL Server table like SQ Server sys.objects or sys.tables.

Using Coherence and Oracle Database as the CacheStore

We are working on implementing a solution using Coherence and Oracle Database as the CacheStore. We initially implemented the Cache as a distributed-scheme which in turn uses the backing-map-scheme. We are trying to introduce transaction management and I used a scheme-ref in a transactional-scheme to point to an already existing distributed-scheme. However when I bring up the server, my custom coherence-cache-config.xml file is not recognized and Coherence comes up with the default setting. Given below is the snippet of my configuration file.
1)     I would like to understand why the below configuration doesn’t work and am I doing it the right way? If not, what is the correct way of doing it?
2)     There are a multiple transaction management options given in the documentation. Which are the ones that will work with a distributed-scheme and read-write-backing-map-scheme?
3)     If transactional-schemes cannot work with distributed-scheme, what is the best way to have a distributed cache with a oracle database as a cache store?

</class-scheme>
</cachestore-scheme>

</read-write-backing-map-scheme>
</backing-map-scheme>
<autostart>true</autostart>
</distributed-scheme>

Hi,
If you look at the documentation for transactional-scheme here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24290_01/coh.371/e22837/appendix_cacheconfig.htm#BHCIABHA
you will see that it says The transactional-scheme element defines a transactional cache, which is a specialized distributed cache. That means that a transactional-scheme is already a distributed-scheme.
You will see from the same documentation above that there is no way in a transactional-scheme to configure things like cache-stores or listeners or even the backing-map-scheme as these are not supported on a transactional-scheme - so you cannot use a cache store.
Personally I would not use transactional-scheme unless you have some really big reason to do so - the restrictions far outweigh any perceived advantage of having a transaction. There are better ways to build applications so they do not require transactions, that is what we have been doing for years with Coherence so far, and there is no real reason to change that.

Distributed transactions and 2-phase commit in a SAP Netweaver environment

Hello,
I am a Java architect., I don't know very much the SAP technologies. I tried to found on forums or technical papers if SAP does support distributed transactions and two-phase commit, it's not clear. I found something on SAP WAS but my project is using a SAP PI 7.0 and I cannot find anything on the subject.
My goal is to include a SAP server (via PI 7.0) in a distributed transaction handled by a J2EE ESB (Oracle, ex-BEA Aqualogic) based on XA capabilities.
Does anyone have experience or feedback on this topic ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Do you know this white paper ?

Distributed Transactions and Linked Servers

I'm somewhat of a novice with SQL Server but I'm learning rapidly from an application I'm developing that uses SQL Server very heavily. In conjunction with the development of this application, I have 3-4 systems set up running SQL Server and I am using those
systems to develop the database that will ultimately support the application. I decided to try to use linked servers because I am moving data back-and-forth among the different servers frequently and I ran into some consequences that I wasn't expecting.
I was doing a simple delete query on one of the servers (Delete from TableName Where ...) and I was expecting, of course, that it would only impact the server I was running it on; however, when the query finished after running for a long time, it was apparent
that SQL Server had automatically escalated that simple delete query into a distributed transaction and applied it to all four of the linked servers I had defined. I was totally surprised by that and it took some time to recover the data that was inadvertently
lost on the other servers.
I want to ensure that this doesn't happen again without me expecting it - I think the right way to prevent this from happening is to run the following stored procedure:
EXEC sp_serveroption 'servername', 'remote proc transaction promotion', 'false';
Can someone please verify that this assumption is correct and will prevent SQL Server from automatically creating distributed transactions impacting multiple servers?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hello,
Based on your description, it seems that when you connect to a SQL Server database and execute a DELETE statement to delete a recode on a table, and then the same recode were delete in the linked server which has the same table.
As pre my understand, the statement executed on one server will not apply to the linked servers unless you specify the logic yourself in the application. For example, you use dynamic query and exec the query synchronously on linked servers.
What's more, did you specify replication between this linked server?
If I have any misunderstanding, please let me know.

Database locking using JSP and Oracle database

Dear All
I am reading about how to do database locking in general and i want to implement these mechanisms using JSP pages and oracle database, but i have the following questions:-
1.If i write a “select for update” quesry in the JSP page will it locks the record ? or it will not lock the record because the connection between the JSP pages and the server will be stateless in most online systems?
2.If i write all my jave code in transaction , something like this:-
• Begin transaction
• Commit or
• Rollback
Then should i be worried about the locking issues or the database manger will handle the locking mechanisms to insure data integrity(and what the default mechanism (if any) that the oracle database manger use to do the locking)?
3. If the answer for question 2 is no, then how can i handle the optimistic and the pentemistic locking using JSP pages?
BR

One way to solve this issue is as follows:
* You add a new column to each database table called 'version' which is of int type.
* Each time you alter any field in a record, you increament the version number.
* When you read a record and display it, you store the version number in your code
* when you go to update the record, you write your sql something like this:
update person set firstName=? where personId=? and version=?
Where the version is whatever you stored locally. If someone altered the record in the database while your
end user was looking at it, the version numbers will not match and the sql statement will
return zero as the number of records it altered. If its zero, inform the end user someone altered the record
while he was looking at it and weather or not he wants to proceed.
The chances of two people altering the same record in a table while both are logged in and viewing the same set of data is small so such collisions will be few.
You only need transactions if you are updating more than one record at a time (in the same table or multiple tables).
You dont need it for reading records if you use a single sql statement to read (for example: to join multiple tables).
In general, you get a (pooled) connection, use it, and close it as quickly as possible in a try/catch/finally block. You dont hold onto it for the duration of the user's session. A book on JDBC should help clarify this.

Slow Problems with Oracle Forms 10g and Oracle Database 11g

Hi, I wonder if there is a compatibility problem between Version 10.1.2.0.2 32 Oracle Forms and Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production. This is because my application runs correctly on a version of Oracle Database 10g, and when we migrated the database to an Oracle Database 11g, slowness problems came out.
Thanks.

We have the same issue happening with our custom forms and with some of the standard forms in EBSO. So far we have found that the form invoking a view causes ridiculous slowness in opening the form (40 mins). Using a table access has shortened the open time significantly. At this time Oracle DBAs at OOD have no clear idea why it is happening.
we are on 11.1 database with 11.5 EBSO

32 Bit Installation or Oracle Linux and Oracle Database 10g

I have an old E-Machine that I wanted to put Oracle Linux and Oracle Database Express 11G on. I was just wanting to do some testing and development on the system. I'm pretty sure the machine is 32bit.
I just burned a copy of 32 bit Oracle Linux onto a CD. Is there a version of Oracle Database Express that will run on it?
It seems like there is only a 64 bit version of Oracle Express Database 11g. Is Oracle Database Express 10g installable on Oracle Linux 32 bit?
Let me know! Thanks in an advance.

One (or two) caveats with the 10g version, XE can not be patched and the 10.2.0.1 XEs were created before the current daylight savings time rules went into effect.
If you have access to My Oracle Support there is a method to get updated timezone files for the oracle binaries, you need at least version 4 of the DST files. I've got the MOS docIDs somewhere let us know if needed and I'll dig 'em up.

Thanks for the reply.
Actually I thought that the OCCI forum was for Object oriented OCI, so while I'm using C++, I'm not using the object oriented side of OCI, just using the normal OCI calls. Guess I should have been a little clearer in my original post.
But my main question really concerned the version of the client and the version of the database which you answered.
Thanks,
