ZFS and ZFD 6.5 Databases

Hi
I am having issues with the databases in ZenWorks 6.5. I have one server
that has ZFD and ZFS installed. I am having the darndest time getting the
Server Management Database and Desktop Management Databases to start or
collect anything. The ZFS SM DB object was created during the ZFS
install, but all the DB usernames and passwords were blank and the JDBC
driver info was blank. So I filled these in, but not sure what port
(2638?) or what the flags (?ServiceName=zfslog&JCONNECT_VERSION=4) should
be set to for the JDBC driver tab on ZFS SM database object. The ZFS SM
DB tells me it isn't running, and the ZFD NAL DB says "this db is not an
inventory db or you are trying to access an older version of the inventory
db". There is only Zen 65 installed in this tree.
I got the ZFD inventory of 2 workstations, but not sure how to get
inventory of a ZFS server at this point.
Help??
Thanks. 8)

Inventory Configuration of a zfs server via a distributed server package
(TED). Make a distributed server package and configure inventory and send
this to the server you would like to have a inventory from

ZFS and fragmentation

I do not see Oracle on ZFS often, in fact, i was called in too meet the first. The database was experiencing heavy IO problems, both by undersized IOPS capability, but also a lack of performance on the backups - the reading part of it. The IOPS capability was easily extended by adding more LUNS, so i was left with the very poor bandwidth experienced by RMAN reading the datafiles. iostat showed that during a simple datafile copy (both cp and dd with 1MiB blocksize), the average IO blocksize was very small, and varying wildly. i feared fragmentation, so i set off to test.
i wrote a small C program that initializes a 10 GiB datafile on ZFS, and repeatedly does
1 - 1000 random 8KiB writes with random data (contents) at 8KiB boundaries (mimicking a 8KiB database block size)
2 - a full read of the datafile from start to finish in 128*8KiB=1MiB IO's. (mimicking datafile copies, rman backups, full table scans, index fast full scans)
3 - goto 1
so it's a datafile that gets random writes and is full scanned to see the impact of the random writes on the multiblock read performance. note that the datafile is not grown, all writes are over existing data.
even though i expected fragmentation (it must have come from somewhere), is was appalled by the results. ZFS truly sucks big time in this scenario. Where EXT3, on which i ran the same tests (on the exact same storage), the read timings were stable (around 10ms for a 1MiB IO), ZFS started of with 10ms and went up to 35ms for 1 128*8Kib IO after 100.000 random writes into the file. it has not reached the end of the test yet - the service times are still increasing, so the test is taking very long. i do expect it to stop somewhere - as the file would eventually be completely fragmented and cannot be fragmented more.
I started noticing statements that seem to acknowledge this behavior in some Oracle whitepapers, such as the otherwise unexplained advice to copy datafiles regularly. Indeed, copying the file back and forth defragments it. I don't have to tell you all this means downtime.
On the production server this issue has gotten so bad that migrating to a new different filesystem by copying the files will take much longer than restoring from disk backup - the disk backups are written once and are not fragmented. They are lucky the application does not require full table scans or index fast full scans, or perhaps unlucky, because this issue would have been become impossible to ignore earlier.
I observed the fragmentation with all settings for logbias and recordsize that are recommended by Oracle for ZFS. The ZFS caches were allowed to use 14GiB RAM (and moslty did), bigger than the file itself.
The question is, of course, am i missing something here? Who else has seen this behavior?

Stephan,
"well i got a multi billion dollar enterprise client running his whole Oracle infrastructure on ZFS (Solaris x86) and it runs pretty good."
for random reads there is almost no penalty because randomness is not increased by fragmentation. the problem is in scan-reads (aka scattered reads). the SAN cache may reduce the impact, or in the case of tiered storage, SSD's abviously do not suffer as much from fragmentation as rotational devices.
"In fact ZFS introduces a "new level of complexity", but it is worth for some clients (especially the snapshot feature for example)."
certainly, ZFS has some very nice features.
"Maybe you hit a sync I/O issue. I have written a blog post about a ZFS issue and its sync I/O behavior with RMAN: [Oracle] RMAN (backup) performance with synchronous I/O dependent on OS limitations
Unfortunately you have not provided enough information to confirm this."
thanks for that article, in my case it is a simple fact that the datafiles are getting fragmented by random writes. this fact is easily established by doing large scanning read IO's and observing the average block size during the read. moreover, fragmentation MUST be happening because that's what ZFS is designed to do with random writes - it allocates a new block for each write, data is not overwritten in place. i can 'make' test files fragmented by simply doing random writes to it, and this reproduces on both Solaris and Linux. obviously this ruins scanning read performance on rotational devices (eg devices for which the seek time is a function of the 'distance between consecutive file offsets).
"How does the ZFS pool layout look like?"
separate pools for datafiles, redo+control, archives, disk backups and oracle_home+diag. there is no separate device for the ZIL (zfs intent log), but i tested with setups that do have a seprate ZIL device, fragmentation still occurs.
"Is the whole database in the same pool?"
as in all the datafiles: yes.
"At first you should separate the log and data files into different pools. ZFS works with "copy on write""
it's already configured like that.
"How does the ZFS free space look like? Depending on the free space of the ZFS pool you can delay the "ZFS ganging" or sometimes let (depending on the pool usage) it disappear completely."
yes, i have read that. we never surpassed 55% pool usage.
thanks!

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database
please give the comments

Well, the question is almost philosophic...<br>
In 9i, there is a Migration Guide whereas in 10g there is a Upgrade Guide.<br>
Furthermore, in 9i, there is the command line startup migrate whereas in 10g that's startup upgrade.
Somebody think upgrade when go to new release, and migration when go to new version.<br>
Others think upgrade when new version replace database in place, and migration when new version include a move of database.<br>
Another point of view is : upgrade is for technical, and migration for application/data.<br>
<br>
Well, after these explanations, your upgrade/migratation notion will not be more clear, but I think that is not very important, only a terminology game. The most important is to know what you need : new version or new release.<br>

Aperture wont open and says "repairing library database" even when 100% complete it still wont open

my aperture won't open and says "repairing library database" even when it gets up to 100% complete it just suts there frozen and won't open to the aperture screen

How many Images? How much storage space does the Library occupy? Do you have plenty of free space on your system drive?
Ignore the progress bar — it's often stuck, and therefore unreliable.
Ignore Activity Monitor reporting Aperture "Not Responding". This is, imho, a bug Apple should have squashed years ago.
Repairing (or doing any operations an entire Library) a large Library can take hours or days. You did not report what you did to get past 79% — I'm going to guess you Force-quit Aperture. Force-quitting any database is always a bad idea and should only be done as a last resort. Each time you force quit, you are likely adding to your problem.
Restart the rebuild, and let it run, unmolested, for at least 40 hours. IME, at some point the progress bar with jump to 99%, then 100%, and then stay there for perhaps a few more hours, and then it finishes.
I have _never_ had a repair or a rebuild (I have not had to do many rebuilds) _not_ finish. One took about 82 hours, but it finished.
If your Library is small — say, fewer than 100,000 Images _and_ smaller than 100 GB — and you're seeing these very long rebuild times, you likely have an actual problem — but the only way I know to find out is to let the rebuild continue. (I don't store any but small video in Aperture, and very few of them, so my numbers may not correspond to Libraries that store videos.)
Did you notice any other problems before Aperture itself recommended rebuilding?
In short: let it run unmolested.

Help on export sybase iq tables with data and import in another database ?

Help on export Sybase iq 16 tables with data and import into another database ?

Hi Nilesh,
If you have table/index create commands (DDLs), you can create them in Developper and import data using one of methods below
Extract/ Load table
Insert location method : require IQ servers to be entered in interfaces file
Backup/Restore : copy entire database content
If you have not the DDLs, you can generate them using IQ cockpit or SCC.

Is it possible to retreive data and store it in database from a AWM cube?

Hi all,
Table to cube is possible by maintaining..but Is it possible to retreive data as it stored in cube and store it in database from a AWM cube?
Regards,
Arjun Jkoshi

Hi there,
Yes, it is possible - and very easy. Remember an OLAP cube is fully integrated with the Oracle database and therefore treated very much as a native object.
With 11g OLAP, cube views are created automatically when you define a cube using AWM. These views provide SQL access to the data in the OLAP cube meaning that it is very easy to transfer data into a table using techniques such as 'create table as select * from cube_view' or 'insert into table select * from cube_view'. You can use WHERE clauses to filter specific values from the cube into the table, and in 11g, an optimisation has been added to ensure that NULL rows are eliminated from the result set automatically (OLAP cubes are typically very sparse and therefore contain many NULL values)
With 10g OLAP, cube views can be added on top of existing cubes that have been created using AWM. It is easiest to do this using the [view generator|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/viewGenerator_1_0_2.zip] utility from the [OTN OLAP home page|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/index.html]. With the views in place it is once again very easy to transfer data into a table using techniques such as 'create table as select * from cube_view' or 'insert into table select * from cube_view'.
I hope this is clear and makes sense. Which version of Oracle OLAP are you using?
Thanks
Stuart

Error in fetching the data from textfield and inserting to the database..

I'm using Java Swing as front end and MySQL as backend using the netbeans ide..I am trying to fetch the data from the textfiled in the form and insert to the database table.i've skipped the generated code..In the following code i get the erro cannot find symbol "stmt" in the actionPerformed method..
mport java.awt.event.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class BarcodeReader extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
public BarcodeReader() {
initComponents();
nb.addActionListener(this);
public void jdbcConnect(){
Connection con=null;
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
String db = "mynewdatabase";
String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String user = "usrname";
String pass = "pwd";
try{
String s=newtxt.getText();
con=DriverManager.getConnection(url + db, user, pass);
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
Class.forName(driver);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
try{
jdbcConnect();
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT into machine(mname) values '"+jTextField1.getText()+"'");
}}catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
public static void main(String args[]) {
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new BarcodeReader().setVisible(true);
}

There are far too many errors to try and clear.
For one, the exception references the actionPerformed method (according to your text), so why is that not shown here?
For another you are performing, possible time-consuming, actions, and even worse IO actions, on the event thread, which is a huge no-no.
You are not closeing your resources properly, if at all, which is another huge no-no.
You are completely mixing your "view" (the gui), and your "model" (the data related classes), which is another huge no-no.
etc, etc, etc.

I moved from an old macbook to a new one. I have installed Office for Mac 2011. I copied all my files from my old notebook onto a hard drive. On trying to setup my mail, i went into my hard drive and accessed microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it. Its almost as if the file is there but not accessable. I desperately need to access my old mail. How do I do this? I am fairly confident that I copied all files off my old notebook. Is there a way for me to search for the Database file? Maybe I copied it to a different location? Urgent help please.

Hi Joakins,
I think Lloyd has a point here in that all I see there which is really database related is a connection string.
Maybe your question is more general though and you're just asking how to work with a database as a general principle.
Personally, I like entity framework and would recommend that.
You can read a shed load of stuff about it.

Convert flat file to XML document and store into Oracle database

First:
I have a flatfile and created external table to read that file in Oracle
Now I want to create an XML document for each row and insert into Oracle database, I think that XMLtype.
Could you please provide me some information/steps.
Second:
Is there performance issues, because everyday I need to check that XML document stored in the database against the in coming file.
Thank You.

Oracle 11g R2 Sun Solaris
Flat file is | (pipe delimited), so I did create an EXTERNAL Table
row1     a|1|2|3|4
row2     b|2|3|4|5
row3     c|6|7|8|9
I want to store each record as XML document. So it will be easy to compare with next day's load and make insert or update.
The reason is:
     First day the file comes with 5 columns
     after some days, the file may carry on some additional columns more than 5
     In this case I do not want to alter table to capture those values, if I use XML than I can capture any number of columns, CORRECT!. Please make me correct If I am wrong.
     This is the only reason to try to use the XMLType (XML Document)
     On Everyday load we will be matching these XML documents and update it if there is any column's value changes
daily average load will be 10 millions and initial setup will be 60-80 millions
     Do I have anyother option to capture the new values without altering the table.
Please advise!.

How to use the mirrored and log shipped secondary database for update or insert operations

Hi,
I am doing a DR Test where I need to test the mirrored and log shipped secondary database but without stopping the mirroring or log shipping procedures. Is there a way to get the data out of mirrored and log shipped database to another database for update
or insert operations?
Database snapshot can be used only for mirrored database but updates cannot be done. Also the secondary database of log shipping cannot used for database snapshot. Any ideas of how this can be implemented?
Thanks,
Preetha

Hmm in this case I think you need Merge Replication otherwise it breaks down the purpose of DR...again in that case..
