Backup script giving error when run by cron

2001-07-18 Thread manivannan_m

Hi gurus,
Our database is running on Dynix in a Sequent machine.
I tried to put the startup/shutdown script we use in crontab and 
schedule it. 
I call a script shut.sh which in turn will call the shutdown.sh 
script. But it gives me an error saying svrmgrl- not found.  I've 
given here those scripts.. 
What am I missing??

This shut.sh is called by the cron

shut.sh

/data23/tbms/.profile
/data21/app/oracle/admin/TBMS/dba/shutdown.sh  
>/data21/app/oracle/admin/TBMS/db

Re: RE: New Listener Question

2001-07-18 Thread Jon Walthour

List, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that you can define
local listeners for the dynamic registration process to register with using
the init.ora parameter LOCAL_LISTENER. This parameter identifies "local"
listeners for the instance via a tnsnames.ora style format. It can contain
multiple listener address to register with. For example:

LOCAL_LISTENER = "(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=db01.acme.com)(PORT=1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=db02.acme.com)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TC
P)(HOST=db03.acme.com)(PORT=1521)))"

RE: Command History in SQL*PLUS

2001-07-18 Thread Orr, Steve

Try CPAN. There's some free wrappers out there:

"MyOracle" emulates MySQL but it's a bit clunky and has bad error handling
on exit.

"fsql" is written in C and is fast but has very limited login capability. It
does not mimic MySQL's show tables command.

"YASQL" (Yet another SQL) is also a Perl wrapper but it's not bad. Show
tables works and the up arrow is OK. Has good login capability for SQL*Net
but it echos passwords to the screen. 

The best approach is to just get over MySQL addiction and learn to love
SQL*Plus with all it's shortcomings. :-)

On HP-UX use 'ied' command to launch sql*plus or svrmgrl session (% ied

Check out a script #10 at http://www.orafaq.com/faqscrpt.htm#UNIX. It is
wrapper for sqlplus and svrmgrl to do similar things.

On NT, I guess use your arrow keys... (Not sure of that, though)..

Re: Oracle Apps customization help working with consultants

2001-07-18 Thread Ron Thomas


The attribute1 - 10 columns are standard Oracle Applications infrastructure.  They are 
used to hold
context sensitive information about the record.  I also would worry about the use of 
serrogate keys
(sequences) as a primary key.  This is standard fare in most ER designs.

What I would be concerned about is there lack of trying to keep you involved in the 
project as it is
you who will have to support it in the future.  Be kind, understanding, but very 
demanding about
this one put.

BTW, what shop is doing the implementation?

Please 

respond to 

ORACLE-L   

   

   





First some background

We are running on Unix 8.1.6 with 11i Apps.  I know very little about Oracle Apps and 
I am the first
DBA hired in house who has walked into several projects mid streams that consultants 
are working on
and they continue to exclude me from design meeting and I get little or no information 
about the
project.

A consulting group is customizing 11i Apps.  Part of this involves an EDI application 
that will take
in files load them into staging tables that then will be loaded into the appropriate 
11i App table.
There are various Oracle and Crystal Reports that will be extracting information from 
these tables
as well.  Why use both... go figure... they are using Crystal for some reports and 
Oracle Reports
for others.  Just like some of the screens are being done in Forms and some done in 
ASP.

These custom EDI app tables have 10 attribute columns defined as varchar2(100) in the 
middle of the
table.  These are extra columns to that may be used in the future for what ever 
reason.  I have
asked these be removed and real column names and data types be added as needed.  They 
refuse saying
they will have to redesign the forms they have created to use with these tables.  
Isn't is
reasonable that the Forms should also reflect real column names not Attribute 1...10?  
Isn't it
better to add columns to tables as I need them with an appropriate name and data type? 
 At the very
least I asked that they put these columns at the end of the table.  They have agreed 
to this.

They are also using a lot of sequences for Primary Keys instead of using columns from 
the table that
would make an intelligent primary key and would be unique.

They also have many columns as NUMBER that could be defined as NUMBER(3) or NUMBER(4). 
 Is there any
pros or cons to using NUMBER without defining a data length?   That is besides the 
obvious that
NUMBER you don't have to worry about losing precision data precision.

Also they use a lot of char(1) in defining what they think will only be one character 
fields.  I was
under the impression that it was better to use varchar2(1)?  Any comments...  This is 
probably a
trivial issue but I would like to know people's opinions.

I am just a bit brain dead from arguing with them anyway about using a consistence 
naming
convention, including me on the database design, etc.  Even with renaming a column I 
get "We are on
a tight schedule and this would put us behind".   Or this is how Oracle Apps works.  
My point is
that Oracle Apps as a generic product and this EDI application shouldn't be made 
generic but
specific to our company needs.  That is not putting in this Attribute fields into all

Bill,

I'm on NT and the up and down arrows work peachy! That's
one of the few things I don't miss about Unix. I didn't think
there was anything additional running on my pc to allow the
arrows to work, but they do for me. Hmm...

Unless you're referring to the windows client. (I just thought
of this right before clicking 'send.') I use the DOS client in
a cmd window just for this reason. The Windows client doesn't
use the arrow keys, the DOS version does.

Is that what you meant?

Dump V$ to Excel and Upload to Web for Analysis...or not.

2001-07-18 Thread Post, Ethan

MS haters please ignore this

I wrote a little app in Access 97 that will allow you to dump any table to
Excel via ODBC.  It also generates an index page in HTML format so you can
FTP all the files to a web server for others to see.  I think this will be
useful for people that ask questions like "my database is slow please help".
They can put a bunch of V$ and DBA table info in oneplace so we can actually
get an idea of where the problem might be, of course we could just ignore
them too but that wouldn't be nice.  I'm sure there are many other
applications for this. Enjoy.

A consulting group is customizing 11i Apps.  Part of this involves an EDI application 
that will take in files load them into staging tables that then will be loaded into 
the appropriate 11i App table.  There are various Oracle and Crystal Reports that will 
be extracting information from these tables as well.  Why use both... go figure... 
they are using Crystal for some reports and Oracle Reports for others.  Just like some 
of the screens are being done in Forms and some done in ASP.

These custom EDI app tables have 10 attribute columns defined as varchar2(100) in the 
middle of the table.  These are extra columns to that may be used in the future for 
what ever reason.  I have asked these be removed and real column names and data types 
be added as needed.  They refuse saying they will have to redesign the forms they have 
created to use with these tables.  Isn't is reasonable that the Forms should also 
reflect real column names not Attribute 1...10?  Isn't it better to add columns to 
tables as I need them with an appropriate name and data type?  At the very least I 
asked that they put these columns at the end of the table.  They have agreed to this.  
 

They are also using a lot of sequences for Primary Keys instead of using columns from 
the table that would make an intelligent primary key and would be unique.  

They also have many columns as NUMBER that could be defined as NUMBER(3) or NUMBER(4). 
 Is there any pros or cons to using NUMBER without defining a data length?   That is 
besides the obvious that NUMBER you don't have to worry about losing precision data 
precision.

Also they use a lot of char(1) in defining what they think will only be one character 
fields.  I was under the impression that it was better to use varchar2(1)?  Any 
comments...  This is probably a trivial issue but I would like to know people's 
opinions.

I am just a bit brain dead from arguing with them anyway about using a consistence 
naming convention, including me on the database design, etc.  Even with renaming a 
column I get "We are on a tight schedule and this would put us behind".   Or this is 
how Oracle Apps works.  My point is that Oracle Apps as a generic product and this EDI 
application shouldn't be made generic but specific to our company needs.  That is not 
putting in this Attribute fields into all the EDI tables, using intelligent keys not 
sequence numbers, defining the data length of the NUMBER Fields.  

I am really worried about performance since I will have to maintain this in January 
after they are long gone.   

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  Any good books to get me quickly up to 
speed on how to tune Oracle Apps?

Thanks very much.

Re: Oracle high availability

2001-07-18 Thread Mustafa

I would check out the Veritas suite of products.  We have several 24x7 high
availability OLTP databases and are using Veritas Database Edition HA (High
Availability), which includes several Veritas products bundled together that
are well integrated with Oracle to provide continuous services and database
failover and restoral in the event of hardware or software failure.

You may also want to look into Oracle Parallel Server (8i, 8 and 7), or 9i
Real Application Clusters if you're deploying with 9i.

Re: OEM help ???

2001-07-18 Thread Mustafa

You don't want to remove the entire Oracle home from the registry UNLESS you
are willing to remove all remnants of Oracle, files and registry entries for
8.1.5 and anything else you may have installed and then reinstall the
components you need.

OEM 816 (release 2.1?) will work with other versions of databases for
administrative purposes, but you must have an 8.1.6 database for the OEM
repository.

How to run agent ???

Hi, 

Thank you for all those answering my question.  I got
OEM installed and it seems to work fine.

I run lsnrctl dbsnmp_start on one box, it got started;
but on some other box, I got  "Tcl_RegisterChannel:
duplicate channel names", and when I do lsnrctl
dbsnmp_status, it shows The db subagent is not
started.

What does that error mean, and how to debug it? OS:
Sun 5.6, database 815, OEM 204.

Thanks.

RE: RE: New Listener Question

2001-07-18 Thread Deshpande, Kirti

Alex, you are correct. And that's how it worked in 8.1.6. 
But due to some unknown 'feature' one has to explicitly set the
service_names and instance_name in the init .ora file as a workaround to be
able to use auto-register feature in 8.1.7. Again, only if using the default
listener name with default listener port#..  I have not yet tested this
stuff in 9.0.1 but will do in the very near future.

According to the doc, the default value for service_names is db_name.db_domain.

Shouldn't the default value be sufficient?

MTS on Linux

2001-07-18 Thread Libal, Ivo

Dears
First I would like to thank you all for replies about tracing  - it helped
me very much
Now I have a different problem - 
I have Linux (suse 7.0) with oracle 8.1.7EE and with 2 IP addresses and I
want to have MTS server running.
The server allways connects to the listener as a dedicated server and not as
dispatcher (lsnrctl services). I have opened TAR but they are not able to
help me (TAR opened since 18.6). I have tried a lot of things in
init.ora and listener.ora files but it didnt help. Is there somebody
who has the same configuration and whith MTS running? If yes, would you be
so kind and send me your configuration files (or part with MTS config),
please?
Thank you in advance
Ivo

this is my MTS part of init.ora file

#mts_max_dispatchers=10
#mts_max_servers=10
#mts_servers=3
#mts_listener_address="(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.17.150.5)(PORT=1521))
"
#large_pool_size = 1000
#MTS_DISPATCHERS="(ADDRESS=(PARTIAL=TRUE)(PROTOCOL=TCP)\
#(HOST=10.17.150.5)(PORT=12345))(DISPATCHERS=2)"
mts_servers=3
mts_dispatchers="(PRO=TCP)(DISP=3)(LIS=awms)"

Re: connecting to sqlplus within a shell script

You could add logic to .profile to execute stty only if the session is
attached to a terminal.

# set env based on terminal or non-terminal
if [ -t 0 ]
   then
   # if executing from terminal process
  stty istrip
  stty erase "^h" kill "^u" intr "^c"
  PATH=${PATH}:/${HOME}/tools/bin ; export PATH
  . ${HOME}/bin/sid   # set Oracle env
  THISHOST=`uname -n` ; export THISHOST
  PS1='${THISHOST}-${LOGNAME}:${ORACLE_SID}:${PWD}> '
  SQLPATH=${HOME}/tools/sql ; export SQLPATH
  EDITOR=vi ; export EDITOR

Re: connecting to sqlplus within a shell script

2001-07-18 Thread Stephane Faroult

Everytime I have seen this message it was because there was a 

. $HOME/.profile

to ensure that the environment was correct and because the script was
run from a cron.
By the way, there was
 stty erase ^H
in .profile.

. $HOME/.profile 2>/dev/null

fudged the problem.

RE: RE: New Listener Question

2001-07-18 Thread Hillman, Alex

instance_name has default value ORACLE_SID and service_name has default
value db_name.db_domain - so you do not need to define these parameters for
dynamic service registration.

Alex Hillman

Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 2:25 PM

Actually, it's called dynamic service registration and you need
both the INSTANCE_NAME parameter and the SERVICE_NAMES parameter
defined in the init.ora. Then, when the instance starts up, it
will register the services it supports with the listener(s).

Re: OEM help ???

2001-07-18 Thread Rocky Welch

Hi Andrea,
Look for the oraInventory file. The installer reads this file for
information on installed products. Find the file then delete the OEM

If you code the stty command like the following -

[ -t 1 ] && stty erase 

It works both interactively & via cron jobs.

Actually, the parameter that controls instance registration with
listeners for dedicated server is LOCAL_LISTENER.  The default value
for this parameter is "(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=)(PORT=1521))."
That means that even if you don't set LOCAL_LISTENER, any instance
will try to register with any listener running on port 1521 on the
localhost.

SERVICE_NAMES allows you to specify multiple differently named
databases as a single 'service' for clients, but does not change which
listeners the instance registers with.

This information can be found in TFM, at the following URLs:

Check on the object navigator and expand the node with the 'Stack' and you should see

this will show the object navigator in the center of the PL/SQL Interpreter.

RE: RE: New Listener Question

2001-07-18 Thread Jon Walthour



Actually, it's called dynamic service registration and you need
both the INSTANCE_NAME parameter and the SERVICE_NAMES parameter
defined in the init.ora. Then, when the instance starts up, it
will register the services it supports with the listener(s).

OEM help ???

2001-07-18 Thread Andrea Oracle

Hi all,

I installed OEM816 on NT40, database server is 815 on
Sun 5.6. The OEM doesn't run since OMS NT service
cannot be started for some reason.  I tried to
deinstalled OEM using installer, the deinstalling only
runs for 2% and jumpped out.  So I manually removed
all the OEM files, and tried to install again.  Now
the installer told me that "you cannot install this
since it's already in oem home directory."  and the
Installed Products still shows all the OEM products,
even though I already got rid off the whole oem home. 

Are there anything log in the registry or some other
places that I should clean out?  And does OEM816 works
well with 815 database??  Thanks. 

Andrea

I was trying to run STTY to change my erase key in the .profile. Just a

RE: connecting to sqlplus within a shell script

2001-07-18 Thread Steve Sapovits


SQL*Plus is probably performing terminal specific ioctl settings;
e.g., setting it in something other than line mode so it can update
the screen more efficiently, etc.

For scripting SQL, I'd recommend making a move to Perl/DBI.  It rocks!

RE: New Listener Question

Actually, the parameter that controls instance registration with
listeners for dedicated server is LOCAL_LISTENER.  The default value
for this parameter is "(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=)(PORT=1521))."
That means that even if you don't set LOCAL_LISTENER, any instance
will try to register with any listener running on port 1521 on the
localhost.

SERVICE_NAMES allows you to specify multiple differently named
databases as a single 'service' for clients, but does not change which
listeners the instance registers with.

This information can be found in TFM, at the following URLs:

http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/server.817/a76961/ch176.htm

http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/network.817/a76933/concepts.htm#1036732

>From the "Net8 Administrator's Guide, Release 8.1.6:"

"By default, PMON registers with the local listener on server at the

Re: I still can't install Oracle on Linux - help

2001-07-18 Thread Jared . Still



The Java that comes with Oracle is broke.  Sorry.

Here's how you can make it work, at least it did for me using
SuSE 7.1 and Oracle 8.1.7.

Get the 1.1.8 Java from www.blackdown.org

Here's where my ORACLE_HOME/JRE points:
lrwxrwxrwx1 oracle   dba34 Apr 18 17:52
/u02/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/JRE -> /u02/app/oracle/product/jre
/1.1.8/

So in my case, I would go to /u02/app/oracle/product/jre and perform the
following:

rename your oracle 1.1.8 directory to 1.1.8.oracle

install blackdown to 1.1.8.blackdown

create a virtual link from blackdown to 1.1.8

 ln -s 1.1.8.blackdown 1.1.8

now your $ORACLE_HOME/JRE points to /u02/app/oracle/product/jre
/1.1.8.blackdown/

Here's what my directory looks like:

9:44-sherlock:ts01:jkstill-6 > l
total 28
drwxr-xr-x5 oracle   dba  4096 May 26 11:32 ./
drwxrwxr-x6 oracle   dba  4096 Apr 18 23:29 ../
lrwxrwxrwx1 oracle   dba15 May 26 11:32 1.1.8 ->
1.1.8.blackdown/
drwxr-xr-x4 oracle   dba  4096 Apr 18 17:52 1.1.8.blackdown/
drwxr-xr-x4 oracle   dba  4096 Apr 18 17:51 1.1.8.oracle/
drwxr-xr-x6 oracle   dba  4096 Apr 18 17:51 3.0.02/
-rw-r--r--1 oracle   dba  7142 May 14 00:27 javacore16556.txt

You will also need the patch for SuSE 7.1.  It's available at
http://technet.oracle.com/software/products/oracle8i/software_index.htm

You need to click on the 8.1.7 for Linux  link, go through the license
page. You
will find the patch on the download page.

connecting to sqlplus within a shell script

2001-07-18 Thread Kempf, Reed

I use a lot of shell scripts (korn mainly) which use connections to sqlplus
and always seem to get this error message when the script logs into sqlplus:
stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Here is my connection procedure within the script: sqlplus -s
sitemon/sitemon << END

To my knowledge it does not appear to cause any problems with my shell
script or output but would really like to know why I am getting it and if
there is any recommendations for fixing the problem.

OS: Red Hat Linux 6.2
ORACLE: 8.1.7 standard edition
shell: korn

Any help would be appreciated

Re[2]: security problem with 8i

2001-07-18 Thread dgoulet

Brian,

Humm, let me guess, SYSTEM right???  Some old concepts die so hard.  Oracle
5 and earlier did not understand the idea of tablespaces, but had partitions
with the system partition being the original and prime one.  Now one could
create other partitions, but that was 'risky' at best whereas Oracle provided a
canned way to add a datafile to the system partition!!!

Ah, War stories...

Reminds me (somewhat) of a company that I consulted, that had been suddently
abandoned by its DBA in November, 1999 - anyone remember the Y2K panic??

They couldn't explan the CPU slowdown and lack of IO throughput.  So I went on
site, and their DBA with 5 years of experience had exactly 3 tablespaces in the
system:  TEMP, RBS, and SYSTEM.  System was > 2GB and was composed of about 25
datafiles.  Anyone care to guess where all of the db objects lived???

It was a production system, BTW.  It's nice to feel like a miracle-worker
sometimes.  : )

Oh yeah!  I've got one even better!  When I joined a previous company, their
*Web-accessible* application's administration username/password was
admin/admin!  Their production Oracle DB - accessed via the admin/admin
"protected" app - had system/manager and mps/mps (mps stands for Main
Production Schema), plus all the usual default schemas like ctxsys/ctxsys...

Needless to say, I closed those holes pretty quickly!

I would doubt he's joking. I've had simular experiences

transferred to another department within the same company. Get a call from
my old boss "our dba is out sick, we HAVE to have this done today, this is a
highly secured system you have to help and make the changes from this pc"

I go there, cannot log into the database with the username and password he
gives me. We call the dba (who was really sick), apologize and ask for the
username and password -- same as what I had. Still does not work. I stop,
think and say "let me try something"

and log in as system/manager

I do what they ask me to, then take my old boss aside and explain (gently)

SORT_SEGMENT_REQUEST Timeouts 100%

2001-07-18 Thread Post, Ethan

I logged a tar last night and have not gotten much help, here is the
problem:

AIX 4.3 Oracle 8.1.7


*
Any operation requiring use of a temp segment takes forever to complete.
Also attempting to drop TEMP tablespace is taking forever to complete.
V$LOCK shows very long times on a TT and IS lock. The tablespace being
dropped is only 500 MB and offline.  V$SESSION_EVENT shows a constant
enqueue wait. V$SYSTEM_EVENT has shown in past 100% timeouts on
sort_segment_request event.  This looks very much like bug# 1131535 but it
says that it is fixed in 8.1.7?

*

Furthur analysis showed that the sort segment never got used then all of a
sudden last night it started working and I have not been able to figure out
why.  I dropped the TEMP tablespace (eventually) and recreated a new LMT
temporary tablespace and the trouble still occurred.  Not occuring now so
having problems diagnosing it.  I did an event 10046 level 8 and the trace
file was pretty useless to me, I could not make heads or tails of it.  It
showed a call to DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO which I assume is normal and it did
not show the SQL I was running.  Would this imply perhaps a problem with lib
cache latch since it wasn't even in the trace file...?  Any thoughts would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ethan

RE: Re[2]: security problem with 8i

2001-07-18 Thread Farnsworth, Dave

This is the way my current employers shop was.  After I started here as a
SQL Server DBA I was told they want me to become the Oracle DBA for a new
third party app they were getting.  They already had two other apps using
Oracle.  These other apps were up and running for a couple of years.  Within
the first couple of months of learning Oracle I was able to access the other
Oracle databases with the standard SYS and SYSTEM logins.  These were
systems that at the time, I did not have access to.  Well the next day, I
told damagement and now I have three Oracle systems. :)

RE: 9i RAC's

2001-07-18 Thread MHately



Early publicity for RACs specifically said that it was an OPS upgrade and made
great play of cache fusion which was already available in 8.1.7.
I agree with the previous point that OPS was often thrown at applications that
were badly suited and so customers perceived it as a poor technology. RAC seeks
to improve over OPS by  giving it the capability to scale any application,
whether or not it's specifically designed to run in a parallel environment.
Whether they've succeeded yet is still to be discovered.

Mike Hately

You can get into all of my databases that way, including
the enterprise SAP database.

Wonderful huh?

Changing passwords around is on my todo list, but it's
often not as simple as just changing it.  There may be
other ramifications, like it's a FailSafe database for

Or a 3rd party duhveloper installed the software and

I still can't install Oracle on Linux - help

2001-07-18 Thread Csillag Zsolt


Hi,

I have the following environment:
Suse 7.1, Oracle 8.1.6, 256 Mb Ram, KDE, Java runtime (I hope I installed
it correctly).

When I run the Installer from Kde, it makes nothing, but if I run from
terminal window
I get a very long list ended by an OK.

I'm going to paste below the whole message, I hope somebody will help
:

Re: Re[2]: security problem with 8i

2001-07-18 Thread Rachel Carmichael

I would doubt he's joking. I've had simular experiences

transferred to another department within the same company. Get a call from 
my old boss "our dba is out sick, we HAVE to have this done today, this is a 
highly secured system you have to help and make the changes from this pc"

I go there, cannot log into the database with the username and password he 
gives me. We call the dba (who was really sick), apologize and ask for the 
username and password -- same as what I had. Still does not work. I stop, 
think and say "let me try something"

and log in as system/manager

I do what they ask me to, then take my old boss aside and explain (gently) 
that he has a security hole in his "highly secured" system that I could 
drive a truck through.

SQL*Net Connection limits

2001-07-18 Thread abugid

hi gurus,
 Does SQL*net has a limit on concurrent simulataneous access/connection to the the 
database. I simulated 600 web user accesing the oracle DB thru a PHP script which 
connects to the data base,fetches the data, and  disconnects. From the listener.log, 
connections is about 7/8 conncetions/sec.

How can I increase the connections#/sec. I noticed that a client program
takes longer to connect when the test is being run. A vmstat shows that CPU 
utilization : users % = 50%,sys 27#,idle 23%.
The platform is Compaq Digital AS 400 with 2 CPUs,512 MB Memory, Digital Unix ver4.0d, 
8.1.5 RDBMS.

Any pointers
Thanks

RE: 9i RAC's

2001-07-18 Thread MacGregor, Ian A.

I thought RAC was a major improvement of OPS, but it was still OPS by  another name.  
I don't believe you gang together machines of any ilk to make a cluster, but you need 
to use architectures expressedly designed to be loosely-coupled.  

CERN, the physics lab in Geneva, is presently considering Oracle to store event data 
from the Large Hadronic  Collider.   The last I heard, which was a few years ago,  the 
requirement was to have a petabyte of data available through online and nearline 
storage.  RAC's are one of the reasons Oracle is being considered.  One way to do this 
would be to build  one huge cluster, but that would wed you to a single vendor.  One 
could make several clusters, but then how does one determine which cluster the data is 
on.  There is also some doubt whether 64,000 partitions will be enough, though I 
haven't heard how the data is to be partitioned.

There is much skepticism, a healthy majority, about Oracle's ability to handle such a 
system.  I'm in the skeptic camp as well.  I have no influence nor input on Cern's 
decision.

I'm a little late to respond, but...

RAC is most certainly a significant upgrade to and renaming of OPS.  There
is absolutely no doubt about it.  At Oracle Open World 2000, all the Oracle
OPS people doing presentations found out about the name change only a few
weeks before the conference and scrambled madly to change all occurrences of
"Oracle Parallel Server" to "Real Application Clusters" in their 9i (nee
8.2) presentations.  The handouts still said OPS (and sometimes 8.2 ), but
the otherwise identical overheads (usually) said RAC and 9i.

The marketing denial of this is simply because OPS got such a bad
reputation - which was, in my opinion, largely undeserved.  The people who
actually write the code for OPS/RAC suffer no such delusions.  Granted
OPS/RAC is/was more complex, but the bad rep was mostly due to people trying
to use OPS inappropriately - for poorly-suited applications and systems
(i.e. the majority).

"RAC" is somewhat simpler to set up and administer than "OPS" and performs
much better, but it is still OPS with a new name.  While Oracle finally
admitted that OPS was a specialty product, they seem now to be saying that
RAC is for anything.  I wouldn't swallow all of that particular Kool-Aid
just yet!

Re: OT RE: Re[2]: security problem with 8i

2001-07-18 Thread Jared Still


Ross,

You can get into all of my databases that way, including
the enterprise SAP database.

Wonderful huh?

Changing passwords around is on my todo list, but it's
often not as simple as just changing it.  There may be
other ramifications, like it's a FailSafe database for
instance.

Or a 3rd party duhveloper installed the software and
set everyone up to run as SYSTEM.  Brilliant.

In Oracle 8i a database will self register with the default listener
even if you do not have it defined.  There are parameters that you
can put in your init.ora to prevent this.

First Off, I would like to thank everyone who replied yesterday, your
answers were most helpful!

Today, I am facing a new puzzle.  I am currently running 3 databases on a
server, but only two of them are listed in the listener.ora (bdw and rcvr).
If I do a 'lsnrctl status' it shows a listener for all three databases (bdw
rcvr and webprod).  How is this possible?  I have included my current
listener.ora and output from 'lsnrctl status' ...  Also, people who access
these databases go through VIRTUAL ip's, i.e. the box itself has IP address
xxx.xxx.xxx.11 the bdw ip is xxx.xxx.xxx.31 and the webprod ip is
xxx.xxx.xxx.30
The reason for the virt ip's is for the fail over we have in place, so
people do not have to reconfigure their machines when we move the databases
around.

So by all rights I do not see how anyone can connect, but they are?!?!?!?
WTH???

Thanks again guys ...

Although there has been so much publicity of security "holes" in Oracle,

default passwords for sys and system and/or using the username as a

Over the past 2 years I've been to a few sites, like 4, at a friends request

RE: Multiple Listeners

2001-07-18 Thread Glenn Travis

It is my understanding that you don't need the;

"SID_LIST_LISTENERDB2 =
  (SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
  (SID_NAME = DBAME2)
  (ORACLE_HOME = /path/to/oracle/home)
)
  )"

section if you define the "service_names" entry in your init.ora files.  You
should do one or the other.

Please correct if I'm wrong, but this is how it works on my 8.1.6 instances.

Edward,

Yes, you can setup multiple listeners. Here is an example:

LISTENERDB1 =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
  (ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname.com)(PORT = 1521))
  )
)
  )

LISTENERDB2 =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
  (ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname.com)(PORT = 1522))
  )
)
  )

SID_LIST_LISTENERDB1 =
  (SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
  (SID_NAME = DBAME1)
  (ORACLE_HOME = /path/to/oracle/home)
)
  )

SID_LIST_LISTENERDB2 =
  (SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
  (SID_NAME = DBAME2)
  (ORACLE_HOME = /path/to/oracle/home)
)
  )


After you have set this up, you can start the listeners
individually:

lsnrctl start listenerdb1
lsnrctl start listenerdb2



Hope that helps...

Hello All,

I am currently running Oracle 816 64bit on a Solaris 8 box.  I have
three
databases on the system with one LISTENER for all of them.  Is it
possible
to configure multiple listeners, one for each database?  We have tried
in
the past with no success... If there is a document on the web somebody
could
point me to, that would be great!  I have searched for one but must not
be
searching correctly.

Re[2]: security problem with 8i

2001-07-18 Thread dgoulet

Although there has been so much publicity of security "holes" in Oracle, in
particular the listener, the one hole that really causes me concern is the
default passwords for sys and system and/or using the username as a password. 
Over the past 2 years I've been to a few sites, like 4, at a friends request
and/or on an interview where the manager said "show me" and each time I've been
able to log onto the DB with any of the following:

sys/change_on_install
sys/sys
system/system
system/manager

Now come on, this was an old V6 thing that we were suppose to do, and we're
still not!!

Re: Further question: Oracle 32bit / 64bit

2001-07-18 Thread tday6

Last time that I installed Oracle 8.1.6 on a Sun 64 bit OS I installed the
64 bit version.  If you pressed me real hard as to why I did that, the best
that I could say is that it seemed like a good idea at the time.  Some
vague idea that the 64 bit version would work better (more optimally) with
the 64 bit OS.  I haven't seen anything to make me think that the 32 bit
version would have been a better choice.

On the other hand, it was a new installation, not a migration of an
existing database.  I don't know if there are any problems with migrating a
32 bit version database to 64 bit.

Finally, the Oracle installation manual seems to assume the 32 bit version.
As I remember we had to tweak the kernel parameters to get the database to
mount and open.  Don't remember which.  Fortunately, you don't have to
reboot to get the changes to take effect.

Re: security problem with 8i

Jon,
I would tend to agree with you.  As long as their data is not externally
available, the risk of this type of attack is very low.  Most employees 
are
not foolhardy enough to initiate DOS attacks from their internal LAN's.
However if they ever intend to move their system to the internet, VPN, 
etc.
then they need to keep this info and patch as part of their migration 
plan.

RE: Certification

2001-07-18 Thread Deshpande, Kirti

If you are attending the ILT courses from Oracle Education.. err University,
please stick to the material in the Student Guides and follow it (even it
may be wrong, at times). Also, some 'good' instructors may provide hints as
to which material is 'OCP test worthy'. So ask questions... ;) Now, isn't
that special ??? ;>)

Good Luck...
