What are all the duies that have to be performed by an oracle dba

hi
i am new to oracle and i want to know the duties that have to be performed by an oracle apps dba?
how many years of exp is required to become an dba?
is it compulsory that i should know plsql to become an oracle dba?
Thank you

There duties of a DBA will vary depending on the job role and to some degree the organization in which you work. There are some core duties that you should be to handle no matter the role. Some of those duties would be:
Backup and Recovery
Backup and Recovery
Backup and Recovery
Database creation
User/schema Management
Database and application (sql) tuning
Knowledgeable of the Oracle process and memory structures
Knowledgeable of the OS being used
Good people skills.
and Backup and Recovery
The above is by no means an exhaustive list, but areas that I look when I am interviewing a DBA. Being an Apps DBA, you will also no doubt need have duties that are centered around the support of the Apps.
The multiple listings of backup and recovery are subtle hint that you should be very familiar with the concept as it applies to Oracle no matter your role.

  • What LDB is and what are all the events we have in that..?

    Hi,
    Kindly let me know what LDB is and what are all the events we have in that..?
    Akshitha.

    Hi akshitha,
    1. A logical database is in fact
    a program only.
    2. This LDB provides two main things :
    a) a pre-defined selection screen
    which handles all user inputs and validations
    b) pre defined set of data
    based upon the user selection.
    3. So we dont have to worry about from
    which tables to fetch data.
    4. Moreover, this LDB Program,
    handles all user-authorisations
    and is efficient in all respects.
    5. tcode is SLDB.
    1. To get a taste of it.
    2. create a new z program.
    3. while creating type PNP
    in logical database field.
    4. paste this code and execute.
    REPORT ABC.
    infotypes : 0001.
    TABLES : PERNR.
    GET PERNR.
    WRITE :/ PERNR-PERNR.
    5. The selection screen which u see
    is coming from logical database PNP program.
    6. Execute
    7. U will get a list of pernr.
    SAPDBPNP
    this is the main program of LDB PNP
    which does the main work.
    SAPDB + ldb name.

  • What are all the subjobs that get called for when a load is scheduled.

    Can any one please tell me - "when I schedule a load to my Infocube or ODS or other data target, what are all the sub jobs/requests that get called for? Like if I go and see in Tcode SM37, I see several jobs running. Any input is greatly rewarded. Thankyou!!!!

    Hi,
    Adding to what is mentioned above, if its scheduled if its a BW datamart load scheduled in background you can see that in  SM37 job log (give BIrequest name) (In source system if load is from R/3) and it should give you the details about the request.
    SM66 > Get the job details (server name PID etc from SM37) and see in SM66 if the job is running or not. (In source system if load is from R/3 or in BW if its a datamart load). See if its accessing/updating some tables or is not doing anything at all.
    Also try SM50/SM51 to find that job.
    Try RSMO from the Infopackage monitor.
    Thanks,

  • What are all the ways that can add fields in the output list of FBL3N transaction?

    Hello dear experts,
    There is this transaction FBL3N, which you might be aware of. Now, the requirement is to add 4 new fields in the output list of the standard program.
    The fields are:
    NAME1   KNA1
    LOKKT    BSEG
    USNAM   BKPF
    TXT50      SKA1 -> SKAT
    Please tell me how to do this apart from implementing the note 310886. What are the other ways?

    I agree, start reading 984305 - Line item: Definition of special fields (T021S)
    Then for non BSEG/BKPF fields, better use BAdI FI_ITEMS_CH_DATA (1323512) and not the good old BTE 1650, the BAdI will be called once with the full internal table with special fields already filled, when the BTE will be executed for each and every record without special fields, so harder to optimize, and may require access to BKPF/BSEG for missing fields.

    Raymond
    PS: Did you use search tool, there are already many discussions/threads on this subject.

  • CUBE - If it is not mandatory, what are all the things to compromise?

    If having CUBE in Unified Communications infrastructure is not mandatory, what are all the things that needs to be compromised? I understrand CUBE provides security, interoperability and all.
    If we don't have CUBE update installed in VoIP gateway, the coexistence of SIP and TDM trunking will not work? Please help me understanding this. 

    Thanks Aaron. 
    So, you saying the calls from VoIP Phone -> CUCM->VoIP Gateway->SP via PSTN->Destination VoIP Gateway->Destination UCM->Phone doesn't require CUBE. In this case, the destination need not to be a SIP enabled device (need not to be a VoIP phone?)?
    And for the calls from VoIP Phone->CUCM->VoIP Gateway->SP via SIP->Destination VoIP gateway->CUCM->VoIP Phone (Here destination phone is a SIP enabled device?). Let me know your comments please.

  • How to identify what are all the errors appears in process chain,

    Hi all,
    i have a process chain running, but i want to find out what are all the errors that the process chain has thrown
    thanks
    pooja

    Hi Pooja,
    Errors in monitoring:
    SID error
    Reason: If the corresponding master data is missing for the particular transaction data.
             1. Check for the load timing for the respective master data, if it less than an hour  then make the request red and repeat the ip.
             2. If the data is loaded to PSA then you have to delete the request from target and manually push the data to from PSA.
             3. If we are required for selective update then note down the info source from header and find it in RSA1,select the one with ‘Single as postfix’.
             4. Goto ‘data selection’ tab and change the range.
    Tip: change the last 4 digits for from to ‘0000’and the last 4 digit for to     ‘9999’.
            5. Repeat the ip.
             6. In case only of failure in one target goto RSA1 find the PSA, put he request no. and reschedule it.
    Note: IF PSA is present never make the request red rather delete it.
    Replication error
    Reason: Data source replication Failed.
             1. In order to handle this error you should be known to IP, info source and source system.
             2. Goto RSA1, find the data source in the source sys tab.
             3. Right click on the data source and replicate it.
             4. Since all the transformation rules pertaining to this data source need to be reactivated so go to SE38 and execute rs_transtru_activat_all, data source and sys name.
             5. Delete the ‘red’ request from the target.
    Update R not supported
    Reason: The corresponding initialization flag for the ip is lost.
             1. Goto header click on the ip and goto schedule tab and click initialize in the source system, whatever screen appears delete the only request present(the initialization flag).
             2. Goto RSA1, find the ip in the info source (one with the Adhoc initialize flag).
             3. Goto update tab and select ‘Initialize delta process’ try going for ‘with data transfer’.
             4. Reschedule the IP.
    Duplicate Record Error
    Reason: Duplicate error records for the loaded master data.
             1. Goto info package via header or via RSA1.
             2. Goto ‘processing tab’ and change the ip setting, selecting only PSA and ignore duplicate records and re run the ip.
             3. Do remember to change the ip settings back to the original once after the second step.
    ODS activation failure
    Reason: Prerequisites for ODs activation not satisfied i.e. unique key.
             1. Goto ‘maintain variant’.
             2. Check for the ‘QM’ status of the requests in the target they should be green.
             3. Then click the ODS activation tab.
             4. In the screen which appears put the requests for which ODS activation failed.
             5. Activate these and keep on refreshing them until status reverts from green,
    Remember to refresh these requests one at a time.
             6. If requests are red then delete them from target.
             7. Reschedule the IP.
    Note: Never Try activating ODS manually if it is Y1.
    Aggregate Rollup error
    Reason: No aggregate found for the respective rollup.
             1. Click on the variant in which the error occurred.
             2. Goto chain tab and copy the variant and instance.
             3. Run the nestle provided program YBW05.
             4. Put in info in there and put the status as g – ‘green’.
             5. Execute and refresh the status.
    Lock issue
    Reason: The same ip is been locked by other user or may be used by other process chain.
             1. We can see the locked entries and in the transaction SM12.
             2. Wait for the other process to get complete once the ip loads to target in that process then there is no need for running it for the process.
             3. In other case make the request red, when PSA is present then goto environment tab ->schedule->initiate update.
             4. In the box appears select update in the background.
             5. And the manually update the failed IP’s by selecting manual update in the context menu.
    Alfa confirming value error, Time conversion error, Chain didn’t start, Delay due to long running job, Poor system performance,Heirarchy node exist in duplicate.
    Reasons:
      Alfa confirming error: Data format mismatch.
      Time conversion error: Date, time format mismatch.
      Chain didn’t start: A scheduled chain didn’t triggered at the prescribed timing.
    -For all the above error we have to raise a ticket.
    Idoc or TRFC error
    Reason: An Idoc is been stuck somewhere.
             1. Reload the Master Data manually again from Info-package at RSA1.
             2. Release the Idoc.
             3. In the source system level got environment->transaction->Transaction RFC or Data ware housing level.
             4. In the Screen if the status is ‘Transaction Recorded’ it means its stuck goto edit and click Execute LUW or press F6.
             5. If status is ‘Transaction executing’ then it means its fine wait.
             6. Or raise ticket.
    Error Due to short Dump
    Reason: Error due to Short dump could be due to many reasons i.e. memory, table space, lock, error record, page allocation, failed change run.
    Process terminated in the Source system.
               Reason: Sometimes we face that a load has failed due to job Termination at Source System.             
          This happens due to unavailability of the source system or some connectivity problem between source and target systems.
    1.      Make the request red.
    2.      Delete the request from the data target.
    3.      Reschedule the ip.
    4.      If still the job fails raise the ticket.

  • Dead-code elimination--what are all the rules?

    This article http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-jtp12214/ has an entire section on dead-code elimination (DCE).
    Does anyone know what all the criteria are by which the hotspot JIT compiler can determine that code is "dead"?
    One obvious criteria is if the code will never get executed. I think that the canonical example is code like this:
           static final boolean debug = false;
           static void someMethod() {
                   if (debug) {
           }Here, the compiler (javac as well as hotspot's JIT) can determine that someMethod has nothing inside it that could ever get executed, so it can be turned into an empty method.
    If you look at that developerworks link above, he gives an even more interesting example for how hotspot's JIT can make sophisticated DCE based on inlining.
    What I want to know is what are all the criteria that hotspot can use to decide that code is dead. Code that is never executed is always correct. But can it make more liberal decisions as to what counts as dead code?
    Consider this code:
         int[] foo = new int[1000];
         int bar = foo.length;
         // don't use foo again, but do use barA smart compiler could recognize that the array declaration and allocation is actually useless, and simply do
         int bar = 1000;(Thank you Brian for this example.)

    What are the rules? Naturally, the only definitive answer can be given can be given by the HotSpot JIT.
    That's not a very satifying answer, but it's true. The server JIT, like most compilers, has been taught hundreds and hundreds simplifying transformations that, in part, enable dead code elimination. Enumerating the criteria is a nearly impossible task.
    But, your specific example is an interesting case.
    int[] foo = new int[1000];
    int bar = foo.length;For simplicity, I assume foo and bar are locals to a method, and in this case, the 6.0 HotSpot Server JIT will recognize that foo is unchanged before the initialization of bar, and effectively change it to:
    int[] foo = new int[1000];
    int bar = 1000;The JIT can't get rid of the allocation of the new array without a more advanced optimization called Escape Analysis, which attempts to determine the dynamic scope of objects. Of course, if these two lines comprise the whole method, then the analysis is fairly trivial.
    Any intervening code will make the analysis more complex:
    int[] foo = new int[1000];
    baz(foo);
    int bar = foo.length;
    qux(foo);The calls sites will preclude your desired optimization, unless the called methods baz and qux can be inlined and analyzed. The code in baz can neither modify foo nor allow it to escape, and qux can not allow it to escape.
    HotSpot's implementation of escape analysis is not quite yet complete, but should be available relatively soon.

  • Shutting down my iPhone 4S no longer removes all the apps that have accumulated on the multitasking bar. What happened?

    Maybe I imagined it, but I could have sworn that holding down the home button and sleep button at the same time until the slider icon appears at the top of the screen, and then engaging the slider icon,  completely shuts down your iPhone and also removes all the apps that have accumulated in the multitasking bar.  But, that does not work anymore on my iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1 (9A405).  The iPhone shuts down, but the apps in the multitasking bar remain after you turn the phone back on.  Did I imagine this feature in the past, or has something happened that no longer enables this functionality?  Closing all those open apps in the multitasking bar one at a time is a PIA.

    Regards,

    Hi, V.Rangarajan!
    When the field in the matrix is filled with some value and the user moves to another field, the et_LOST_FOCUS event occurs. So, i think you can try to handle ItemEvents and use such code (for example):
    if (pVal.EventType == SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_LOST_FOCUS && pVal.ItemUID == "38" && pVal.BeforeAction == false && pVal.FormType == 139)
    string ChangedColumnID = pVal.ColUID;
    int ChangedRowNumber = pVal.Row;
    and write the values to your log.
    "38" - is the matrix ID in the Orders form
    "139" - is the Orders form
    Also you can access to the value, that user had put into the field.
    Hope this helps!

    The lack of this feature is an inexcusable oversight for an enterprise management product.  They have some serious lightweights making design decisions on the SCOM team. 5 thumbs down.

  • How to identify what are all the events are created in background jobs?

    Hi all,
    how to identify what are all the events are created for  background jobs. And what events gets triggered for a particular job.
    thanxs
    haritha

    Hi Haritha,
    JOB is a program which starts to a determined point of time and executes some standard programs in the system. JOBs can be planed to a determined point of time on the regular basis (every night, for example) or to some discret time moments. So, the JOB can be planed and then will be started automatically without the manual start.
    Realtime programs are understood in the most cases as actual program execution which is started by somebody to the actual moment of time.
    Typically per JOBs some special processes will be started that should be executed automatically and regularly: for example, IDOC application, some correction reports, statistic updates etc.
    Standard jobs are those background jobs that should be run regularly in a production SAP System These jobs are usually jobs that clean up parts of the system, such as by deleting old spool requests.
    Use
    As of Release 4.6C, the Job Definition transaction ( sm36 ) provides a list of important standard jobs, which you can schedule, monitor, and edit.
    Standard jobs are those background jobs that should be run regularly in a production SAP System. These jobs are usually jobs that clean up parts of the system, such as by deleting old spool requests.
    for more information you can go thru the following thread:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/24/b884388b81ea55e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
    About Events:
    Events have meaning only in the background processing system. You can use events only to start background jobs.
    Triggering an event notifies the background processing system that a named condition has been reached. The background processing system reacts by starting any jobs that were waiting for the event.
    Types of Events:
    There are two types of events:
    1.)System events are defined by SAP. These events are triggered automatically when such system changes as the activation of a new operation mode take place.
    2.)User events are events that you define yourself. You must trigger these events yourself from ABAP or from external programs. You could, for example, signal the arrival of external data to be read into the SAP system by using an external program to trigger a background processing event.The event scheduler processes an event if the event is defined in the system.
    For example, if a system (System 1) receives an event from another system (System 2), the event scheduler of System 1 processes the event only if it is defined in System 1. That event does not need to be defined in System 2 (the sending system).
    You define an event by assigning a name (EVENTID) to it. When defining an event, you do not define the event arguments.
    for more information you can go thru the following thread:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fa/096e2a543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm
    When you schedule the process chain or infopackages the jobs associated with it run in the background mode. In case you want to create a job for a specific activity you can do so in SM36. You would be creating jobs that would get executed in any one of the options:
    1. Immediate
    2. Date & Time
    3. After event.
    4. After job.
    5. At Operation mode.
    In case you want to view the job logs go to sm37.
    Also Pls check DB02 for database performance and ST03 for workload .
    Analyse u will have an idea ,
    *pls assign points,if info is useful**
