What's new in Oracle Linux 6.4?

Any new additions to DTrace?

Ok, thanks, that's a useful reference. It seems to answer the DTrace question: nothing new in this release. The packages haven't been updated for months either: https://oss.oracle.com/git/.
I was excited by the InfoWorld article running today with the subtitle "Oracle has completed work on bringing to Linux a version of the widely coveted DTrace tool". Last update was partial, not complete, so this title is very misleading.
InfoWorld has a comments section: (http://www.infoworld.com/d/application-development/oracle-ports-dtrace-oracle-linux-213759?page=0,0). I suggest that someone with authority on the matter post a comment to clear up the confusion.

OpenWorld: Explore What's New in Oracle Fusion Middleware's Web Frontier

Hello All -
We have a dedicated Web Tier session at the upcoming OpenWorld in San Francisco, Moscone West.
Oracle Web Tier has comprised Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Web Cache. Now, with the Sun acquisition, the Oracle Web Tier product line includes Oracle iPlanet Web Server (formerly Sun Java System Web Server) and Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server (formerly Sun Java System Web Proxy Server). The new app_grid_plugin consolidates some past plug-ins to connect to the Oracle application grid. Oracle HTTP Server (based on the upcoming Apache 2.4) and Oracle iPlanet Web Server Release 7.1, part of Oracle Database 11g Release 2, will introduce new capabilities. This session showcases these new developments in scalability, security, and manageability best practices for deploying Oracle Web Tier in Oracle Fusion Middleware production environments.
Title: Oracle Web Tier: Explore What's New in Oracle Fusion Middleware's Web Frontier
OpenWorld Session ID: S317982
Schedule: Tuesday, September 21, 5:00PM | Moscone West L3, Rm 3024
[http://www.eventreg.com/cc250/sessionDetail.jsp?SID=317982|http://www.eventreg.com/cc250/sessionDetail.jsp?SID=317982]
Hope to see many of you at OpenWorld this year in San Francisco.

"What is BPEL y we require that."
Other people cited good "what is BPEL" technical information. In plain words, BPEL is an XML-based language to implement business processes, to integrate data from various applications so everyone can see it whether it is originally flat-file, XML, messages, legacy systems, whatever.
Why "we" require it:
Part 1 (Managers): Allows integrators to quickly build systems based on business process diagrams by non-technical business analysts. Makes data from many applications available to the business, particularly for "real time" monitoring of how the business is doing.
Part 2 (Engineers): Allows us to get process specifications from the business users and rapidly build applications. Once an XML and/or web-service interface is created for a legacy application, we can re-use it immediately to integrate with other systems.
I suspect others will clarify/add to this.
Regards,
Andy

Move DB to new server - Oracle Linux 4 old, Oracle Linux 5 on New

We are planning on moving our Datawarehouse db to a new server.
The old server has Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 and our server admin, using her infinite wisdom and after we agreed to keep the O/S the same - installed Oracle Linux 5.
I was planning on installing the oracle_home, etc. all with the exact same names, the mount points would be the same so in theory, just start the db on the new server.
Now that its a different version of the O/S - will it work?
Has anyone tried this before?
I will be trying with a small test DB but don't want to run into any gotchas when I try to "move" the 2.5t datawarehouse db.
Thanks.

Its certified, db version 10.2.0.4 but just about everything I've read via google etc. says if the db thinks the O/S is different, you have to use either exp/imp, datapump or tablespace move from one db to the other (really a copy and we don't have the disk space).
Thanks.

Poor SSD disk IO speed in Oracle Linux 6.3 (Windows migration)

Hello,
I am trying to migrate from Windows to Oracle Linux, but I'm seeing very poor disk IO speeds. It's probably a tuning thing, but I'm relatively new to Oracle Linux and could use some detailed advice.
I took one physical server and migrated it from Windows 2008R2 to Oracle Linux 6.3 while maintaing the same Oracle version (11.2.0.3 Enterprise with ASM) and the same hardware (quad CPU 48 core HP DL585 G7 with 128GB RAM, 7 LSI 9200-8e HBAs, 28 Samsung SSD Drives). Disk IO performance, as measured using Oracle IO Calibration, was ~7,800MB/Second and 440K IOPS under windows but fell to ~2,400MB/Second and 250K IOPS under Linux.
Oracle Linux and the DB were installed using default values. The Oracle tools seem to have done a great job setting all of the obvious IO tuning parameters like the scheduler, but I figure that there are other important IO-related OS or DB parameters and that I have failed to configure the system properly.
My goal for the migration is sequential read IO speed and I would have bet money that Linux would provide better performance than Windows. I still think that it should. What basic IO tuning should I do for Oracle Linux using ASM and SSD drives?
Thank you!
Some details:
Oracle DB 11.2.0.3 enterprise installed via the GUI with the "Data Warehousing" template
ASM - single disk group, 28 SSD disks, AU=4MB
Oracle memory: Automatic memory management, 64GB allocated
Non-default Oracle params: filesystemio_options=setall, disk_asynch_io=true
Edited by: 975524 on Dec 7, 2012 8:56 AM

Thanks "dude" for the advice. Unfortunately, I am still seeing low IO speeds.
The default scheduler for OEL 6.3 with the DB pre-install package is deadline, which seemed like a far better choice than CFS. Based on your advice, I tried noop this morning and got the same results. I also tested with and without hugepages and saw only a small difference - at least in IO speed - I did not test overall DB performance. Lastly, I understand the /dev/shm issue, but even with the default configuration I'm getting 64MB allocated to Oracle, which is far more than is needed to test sequential IO - in fact I can get better results by using less RAM.
To answer your questions, I am testing using Oracle IO Calibration, which is an IO testing feature of the Oracle DB that is similar to the standalone Oracle Orion tool. I also performed a few tests using IOMeter, but found that the Linux version of that product was not giving me consistent data. The overall trend was the same however - IO on the Linux version far lower than the same hardware running Windows. The system is functioning very well, so I assume that everything has been installed correctly, but I do not think that it was installed optimally - thus my cry for help.
I am so surprised that Linux is showing slow IO!

Rpm for telnet utility on oracle linux 5.7

Hi,
I new to oracle linux , and i have two questions:
1) I have an oracle linux installed on one of our servers. I think its version 5.7 but i am not 100% sure.
I run cat/etc/issue but it doest report the oracle linux version. How can i found out which version installed on this server ?
2) I need to install rpm for telnet. From where i can download only the required telnet rpm for verion 5.7 ?
Thanks

1) The following should help:
http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/027626.pdf
2) Telnet has been replaced by SSH, similar to FTP, for serious security reasons.
The Telnet client is normally installed by default. To install the client and server, the following should work:
<pre>
yum install telnet telnet-server
</pre>
To setup access to Oracle Public yum, see this link: http://public-yum.oracle.com/

Thinking to use Oracle Linux

Hello friends,
I am used to work on MS Windows. Without a doubt we get a better performance if we use DB and OS from Oracle.
What are basics of Oracle Linux I have to know to be able to install Oracle DB 11g SEO on Oracle Linux ???
Is it possible to install it with Oracle DB 11g on Virtual Box in Production environment ??
** My environment is Oracle 11g R2 SEO. APEX 4.1 , Glassfish 3.1.2
Best Regards,
Fateh

Starting from scratch? I'm afraid that's too much to ask and expect from a forum thread. Where do you need to start? Installing Oracle 11g Database Edition One is the same as installing any other oracle Oracle 11g Database edition. You start by reading the documentation, which covers the installation on Linux.
In a nutshell:
- Download the Linux OS installation DVD from Oracle edelivery cloud.
- Boot the system from DVD or use the downloaded iso file in VirtualBox.
- Setup yum.
- Install "oracle-validated (OL5) or "oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall" (OL6).
- Install Oracle Database
Your question about VirtualBox depends on your production environment, but generally no. Oracle provides Oracle VM for x86, which installs on bare metal machines to provide virtualization (type 1) and supports production systems. For evaluation and testing, VB is great and does the job quite well, providing a lot of useful options.

New Oracle Linux 6 installation - ASMLib and EMC Powerpath - is it possible

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask whether that latest version of Oracle Linux 6 can be used for a new installation (one that will replace Windows) to serve as that basis for Oracle RAC.
The storage is a high-end EMC Clariion.
I want to use the Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 2.
I would like to use EMC Powerpath, but it seems this is not yet available (or at list not present in the current EMC support matrix).
I want to use ASMLib, but if have to use redhat compatible kernel (so that I can use Powerpath), I will not be able to use ASMLib (AFAIK).
Does anybody has experience with this problem? What would you recommend?
I'm putting a list of possile options that I am aware of:
1. Use OEL5 with redhat compatible kernel (use Powerpath and ASMLib).
2. Use OEL6 with UEK2 kernel, but don't use Powerpath (use dm-multipath and ASMLib)
3. Use OEL6 with redhat compatible kernel (use Powerpath and don't use ASMLib, but use udev for persistent device permissions and naming)
4. Use SLES11 (with Powerpath and ASMLib)
do you have other suggestions? do you have comments on the pros and cons on this options.
Can someone from EMC or Oracle comment on the plans to make Powerpath available for OL6 with UEK2 ?
Regards,
Mihail

I could test "OEL6 with RHEL kernel + Powerpath" vs "OEL6 with UEK2 kernel + dm-mpio", but anyway this would not give the answer whether Powerpath is faster or slower than dm-mpio by itself, since the kernels would be different.I wonder how the answer whether EMC Powerpath or DM Multipath is faster can help you? Apparently you cannot use Powerpath with the UEK2 kernel and have a certified system at the same time, at least not at this time. However there is no reason to throw the towel yet. If the use of Powerpath instead of Multipath is so critical, why not using Oracle Linux 5.7, which is certified? If you check the EMC compatibility matrix (esm_by_os), it actually shows some systems including Clariion supported for Oracle Linux 6.2 with UEK kernel. You might want to take a closer look.
Anyway, it doesn't look like you will be able to solve the performance question without doing a real world test in your environment. You have no indication that Oracle Linux 6.3 with DM Mutlipath will give you less performance than RHEL 6.3 with Powerpath. Regarding the information you found, Linux is not Windows.
Powerpath is not free and you have to pay a license, but worse, it will tie your system to a very specific version of the kernel. In case of RHEL 6 or later, it will deny you the use of Oracle specific products and features such as ASMLib, etc. Multipath seems to be the more economic and better solution since you do not have to worry about kernel versions and have the freedom to use whatever Oracle Linux has to offer.
So, do you want to limit your kernel features and options and fix a problem that you don't know even know if it applies and pay money for it?

Oracle Coherence 3.7.1, It's always creating a new cluster in linux m/c.

Hi ,
I am facing an issue with Oracle Coherence 3.7.1 in linux m/c , where it’s always creating a new cluster, even if I start a new member provided with same cluster name as argument. -Dtangosol.coherence.cluster=name
It’s not joining the existing cluster , it’s always creating a new cluster with same name in Linux m/c.
But when I tried the same thing in windows m/c , it working fine , even If I start N number cache server’s it joining the same cluster as one more member.
Please someone help me, why it’s always creating a new cluster in linux m/c with same name ? why new VM’s are not joining the existing cluster? , Is there anything extra setup I need to do for Linux m/c.
Thanks in Advance.

New installation woes - SQLDeveloper on Oracle Linux x64 and Oracle 11g XE

Note that as an experienced Oracle developer in enterprise environments running MS Windows OS, I am familiar with SQLDeveloper for Windows. I don't have a lot of experience with Linux however. I don't find it intimidating, I just don't have a lot of accumulated knowledge.
I have recently been trying to set up a development environment on my Windows7 Professional x64 laptop.
1. Installed Oracle VBox
2. Installed Oracle Linux 5.2 inside the VBox (because Oracle 11g XE is not certified on 64 bit Windows, needed to go with a Linux OS)
3. Installed Oracle DB 11.2 XE
4. Installed JDK as instructed in the SQLDeveloper release notes for Linux x64
5. Installed SQLDeveloper 3.1.07.42-1
No apparent issues with any of the installations.
Problem : I can run SQL Plus from the command line, but when I click on the icon for SQLDeveloper, nothing happens. No error messages, nothing else.
Question #1 : Unsure how to debug/troubleshoot this. Will read through the installation and release notes for SQLDeveloper, but any suggestions would be welcome.
Question #2 : Could this be due to an issue with the JDK installation? It appeared to be successful (no obvious issues) but I can't see anything in the Oracle Linux menu system that tells me the JDK was installed successfully. How can I confirm that the JDK installation was successful?
Edited by: Peter Hartgerink on Jun 19, 2012 9:12 AM

>
The Linux x64 version of SQLDeveloper doesn't come bundled with JDK. There is a version of JDK recommended, with an advisory to install it before installing SQLDeveloper. This I did, with apparent success. I guess I'll have to install the JDK again and check my Java versions afterwards. Thanks.
>
I don't know what JDK you downloaded since you didn't say. What version was it? Post the link.
I find it hard to believe that the JDK version recommended was 1.4.2 since that is an ANCIENT version of Java, you have to hunt to even find it for download and most importantly the sql developer main download page clearly announces what version of Java is needed.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
>
JDK Support
Oracle SQL Developer 3.1 is shipped with JDK1.6.0_11. However, you can connect to and use any JDK 1.6.0_11 or above. To use an existing JDK, download the zip files listed below "with JDK already installed."
>
As you can see you need JDK 1.6.0_11 or above.
If the version you say was recommended was actually 1.4.2 then that is an error; post the details so the developers can get that error fixed.
I don't know what is on your system and can only go by the information you provide
>
4. Installed JDK as instructed in the SQLDeveloper release notes for Linux x64
java version "1.4.2"
>
You either downloaded version 1.4.2, which seems unlikely, or your Linux included 1.4.2 and it is being used when you try to launch sql developer.
Perhaps your system now has multiple versions of Java on it but the version being used by sql developer is the wrong one. If so that is the issue you need to resolve.

How to see new disk in oracle linux 5

Dear,
i am using oracle VM and created 2 guest OS (both Olx5) i also created a shared disk and assigned to both linux servers.
question: how can i see the disk in each server. using fdisk -l it just shown the one there before.
in HPUX we have ioscan to detect new devices. is there away to check for new disk in oracle linux.
Thanks in advance.
Tom

fdisk -l shows only existing partitions. So if your new disk has not partition created it will be not shown in the output.
AFAIK there is not such command which will list all devices but there are several ways how to find the devices. All informations you can find in /proc directory (fdisk -l reads /proc/partitions when device is not passed as argument).
You can find devices (local disks) for example using following commands (hope it helps):
cat /var/log/dmesg |egrep 'sd[a-z]: s|hd[a-z]: h'
cat /proc/diskstats |egrep -v 'ram|fd'|awk {'print $3'}

My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!

My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!

Hi,
You could use FND_FLEX_LOADER_APIS.UP_VALUE_SET_VALUE to upload them from staging table (I suppose you mean value set values...).
You can find a sample scripts if you google around.
What do you mean "how to map any API to our staging table" ?
You should do at least the following mapping (which column(s) in the staging table will provide these information):
- the 3 value sets name which you're going to update/upload (I suppose these are existing value sets or which have been already created)
- the value set values and description
Try to start with something and if there is any issues the community could then help... but for the time being with the description of the problem you have provided, that's the best I can do...
