That means that all the archives were in place. I do advise you to 
check whether
the file is in the backup mode. That is a frequent cause of alarm, 
usually caused
by a combination of a backup script and system reboot (either crash or 
negligence).
Trust me, I did recovery more then once. The company that I work for 
has so-called
DR tests at Comdisco in NJ once a year. There we fully recover our 
systems, just as if
a disaster has taken place. Our configuration is 4 HP 9000/N systems 
with EMC and
Hyperfabric, of course with OPS. The plan is to transition to RAC 
within a year.

I believe that if you set the next extent then all extents after that will
be set to that size (assuming pct_increase 0).  However if you do truncate
it removes all but the first extent and sets next extent to the size of the
last extent it removed.  You would either have to do truncate with the reuse
storage option (drop storage is the default) or set next extent when only
the initial extent exists i.e. after a truncate and before any growth.

Hi,

It isn't a local managed tablespace problem because I'm still
on 7.3.4 db Besides that I'm changing the table specs as far as I know
this overrules the tablespace specs. 

New is that I created in a new attempt the table on 256K next extent
then run the batch again and the storage remains on 256K.

Tia,

 Hi,
 
 I have a strange phenomena. Due to sizing problems with a specific table.
 I changed the next extent clause with 
  ALTER TABLE contingenten.BOEKINGEN_ADDITIONS storage ( next 256K );
 
 Mysteriously after running the batch, it was back on 8K. 
 
 Ofcourse I select before (also closing sqlplus and starting it again and
 selecting)
 and after the batch the next extent by
 SQL select next_extent from dba_tables where table_name =
 'BOEKINGEN_ADDITIONS';
 
 NEXT_EXTENT
 ---
8192
 
 After the batch it was back on 8K. I checked the scripts and there was no
 alter in the script.
 I turned on the audit on this table and did find only records with
 'session
 rec' in action_name
 What can cause the previous alter to be changed back?
 
 Tia,
 
 Jeroen

Financials Client question

2002-05-27 Thread Maria Aurora VT de la Vega

We have outsourced implementation and setup of a scaled down Oracle
Applications 11i (rel 11.5.5) for Suse Linux...
I have received a memo from the implementation team's application DBAs
and they
have informed me of a certain limitation for the specs of the client
PC's.
I was informed that the clients must either be Pentium 3s and below or
all Pentium 4s.
Mixed network of Pentium 3 and 4s will not work. I was told it was
because of the JInitiator being invoked from the server.

to quote:
Let us further clarify that, through our proven installation/setup
experience, the Shooman Application works on a network environment of
mixed Pentium 3s and earlier computers. As of this writing, we have
yet
to prove that Shooman works properly in a network of Pentium 3 (or
older)
workstations mixed with Pentium 4s. However, we have proven that the
application works if ALL workstations are Pentium 4s. It therefore
follows
that, should you purchase the latest Pentium 4 computers, you must issue

ALL your Shooman users with this model in order for the system to work
properly. (Shooman refers to the Oracle Application residing on a
server named Shooman)

I am completely ignorant of Oracle Applications as I have 0 experience
in managing it.
I'd really appreciate your opinion if we are being fooled or not.
I am very concerned about this because as we all know PCs become
obsolete in months...
time will come we will have to change PCs...maybe move on to Pentium
5/6...
This can pose a problem for us.

Thanks a lot!

could anyone suggest a logic to pick up the the
lastest file created in that
dir. ? 

TIA

The best solution I can think of is to make the filename predictable - if it contains 
some time of timestamp (eg YYMMDDHH24) the Oracle side can deduce in advance from 
SYSDATE which file it must open. Short of that, you can have a 'utility' file in which 
some procedure keeps track of the latest file - Read it first, then open the actual 
data file.

Re: novice learns a new thing

A quick look showed normal behaviour.

You granted as the object owner select to test1 and scott
than as test1 you tried describing a scott object that scott does not own
but only has select rights on thus the error.
after you created the synonym scott owned an object with that name
(pointing to hlldew object) so the describe worked.

Ther is Nothing Strange in this.

If you see the Object was owned By hlledw.

You granted the Rights to Both Scott and Test but there was not Object named
edw_% in these schemas.

Then u Tries to describe the Object thru hlledw and that worked but when u
tried to acces it thru scott it did not work because as mentioned above
there was no schema object so u got an error.

Now U wen into scott and created a Synonym for the hlledw object and hen
there was a Object named edw% in scott and hence when u again accesed it it
redirected the request to the hlledw schema and u got the result.

Hope u got it.

Now my $0.02 Cents I feel u should pick up a good book like Oracle 8i
Complete Reference and read it from back to back. Also complement that book
with the concepts manual and the books by thomas kyte -- Beginning Oracle

Set Timing on and DBMS_utility.get_time()

2002-05-27 Thread prem

Hi List,

I am really confused by the results from the DBMS_UTILITY.get_time() and set timing on in the SQL PLUS.

Can anybody please explain this with an example.

I gave the following in the SQL PLUS
SQL  Set timing on
SQL  Select * from emp;

Elapsed: 00:00:00.08

Does this mean the command took 80 milli second or it took 800 millisecond to execute.

Now I put the same select statement in a procedure and used the DBMS_utility.get_time() before executing and after executing the statement, the values I got were different. Could somebody explain this. Does these two show the result in milli second.

1. Run a Cron Job that every Hour Runs the Ls command with the necessary
switches to sort the file listing by the date and redirect the filename to a
Flat file.
2. Run a Job In Oracle that will open that particular file and read the
contents of that file and open the file mentioned therein.


There are always other ways to achieve this by means of a Java Stored Proc
running inside Oracle without a Cron Job. You can search for Executing
external Commands inside a Procedure in http://asktom.oracle.com [Which I
blv is down today]

Post Migration to 8.1.7.2 from Oracle 7.3.4 on Tru64 Unix - Best Practices ??

2002-05-27 Thread VIVEK_SHARMA


Batch Jobs seem to be performing Slightly Slower than Before .

Are there any Best practices / parameters on Digital Tru64 Unix OR 8.1.7.2 for Better 
Performance ?

This is a Hybrid Application (Banking) doing about 3 Million OLTP Transaction Daily in 
a 5 Hours Window 

Thanks

P.S. Oracle Corp Suggested setting the O.S. Parameter fifo_do_adaptive = 0 (Default = 
1) in /etc/sysconfigtab 
on DB Server which they believe Gives Performance .

Lee,

   file or directory ? I guess that the .cfg file must reference a list of files which 
are expected to be there.
If gflib.h actually is in the precomp/admin directory (not searched by the compiler), 
just copy it to any of those which are (specified by the -I flag).

RE: Media Recovery needed

2002-05-27 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS

Mladen - I am curious about your disaster recovery test. I am in the process
of implementing RMAN here, but management says I must continue to do cold
backups until I can successfully perform a disaster recovery test using
RMAN. I can't argue the point. In a realistic sense, in a real disaster, our
hardware vendors have promised to make a somewhat similar system available
to us. I've been trying to decide what a reasonable disaster recovery test
would involve. Any insights would be appreciated.

That means that all the archives were in place. I do advise you to 
check whether
the file is in the backup mode. That is a frequent cause of alarm, 
usually caused
by a combination of a backup script and system reboot (either crash or

Trust me, I did recovery more then once. The company that I work for

It sounds like on Tru64 5.0 this is yes by default, so you would only be

And sure I always try out new settings on the production server.

Re: how to pick the lastes file using UTL_FILE package ?

2002-05-27 Thread Chaim . Katz


Rahul,

This isn't exactly what you're asking but,

If OEM is set up:
You can use the intelligent agent on   win2k.
Write a script  that identifies the file and then calls the PL/SQL
procedure.
Schedule the job in OEM.

Dear list !
There is something strange going on in my production DB.
There is a program that reads fom 2 huge tables (A and B - select only)
and
writes a fraction of records into some third table (let's call it C -
inserts only).
Now , NO ONE carries a DML agains A or B .
But occasionally i get the Ora-1555 - snapshot too old error during
the
run of the aforementioned program.
Any ideas , please ?

It sounds like on Tru64 5.0 this is yes by default, so you would only be
setting it no.
And sure I always try out new settings on the production server.

Re: so when did you switch from NT to unix for oracle

2002-05-27 Thread Mogens Nørgaard



Maybe it's time to provoke a bit :-). 

Situation: I'm sitting here in Steve Adams' house (about 7 meters away from
the IxOra server, which is SO small - just like the LITTLE mermaid in Copenhagen
- very disappointing), and Anjo, Cary, Jonathan and the rest have gone to
bed. 

Whiskies available on the oak table: Bowmore and Ardbeg. 

Provocative Thoughts (aimed at generating discussion, please): Basically
a P4 processor can run circles round a Unix processor today (in other words:
Unix processors are loosing the battle). A customer today would get most
bang for the buck by bying Intel instead of Unix processors. The problem,
of course, is that you can only choose between Windows and Linux on the Intel
platform. If - this is no longer a choice - you could choose Solaris on Intel,
you would get so much bang for the buck that nothing could compete with it.
If Intel could handle many processors that would be interesting, too.

I think Unix processors are dying. I didn't like it when VMS died (because
it's the best operating system that was ever built). But it died. Now what?

Re: Financials Client question

2002-05-27 Thread Tim Gorman

Maria,

The Jinitiator is an applet required by Oracle Developer's Forms Server,
mainly for authentication purposes.  As an applet, it is extremely sensitive
to the version of the browser and Windows, but not so much the hardware.

However, for someone to assert that the applet is sensitive to the version
of the hardware seems suspect.  Despite the proven experience claimed by
these folks, I would suggest that they have less-than-perfect powers of
observation, reasoning, and deduction.  Confusing the importance of hardware
components as opposed to software components should not build confidence.
They are apparently equating Pentium 3s with one version of Windows and
browser and Pentium 4s with another version of Windows and browser, when
in fact there is a good deal of overlap that is possible.  It would have
been more helpful if they had taken the time to examine the software
versions rather than the hardware, as the software versions surely matter
more.

...they would not happen to be PC resellers, would they?  It would explain
both their orientation as well as their motivation...  :-)

You can find a great deal of more relevant information on MetaLink.  From
the front-page of MetaLink, click on the left-hand navigation button for
Product Lifecycle and on that page, click the button for Certification.
Then, choose from the drop-down lists to find E-Business Suite and
Jinitiator, and finally choose the version of Windows you are using on the
client to find the certified, supported versions of the software.  The
navigation in this section of MetaLink is pretty confusing, but the
supported configurations and versions of Jinitiator can be found here...

Please note that the type of CPU hardware is never prompted for;  it is
simply not a criteria.

At the very least, these experts (to which your company is outsourcing a
critical business function) are sufficiently vague about important technical
details that you are quite correct to hesitate before believing any
statements they make without some form of corroboration.

Hope this helps...

-Tim

 We have outsourced implementation and setup of a scaled down Oracle
 Applications 11i (rel 11.5.5) for Suse Linux...
 I have received a memo from the implementation team's application DBAs
 and they
 have informed me of a certain limitation for the specs of the client
 PC's.
 I was informed that the clients must either be Pentium 3s and below or
 all Pentium 4s.
 Mixed network of Pentium 3 and 4s will not work. I was told it was
 because of the JInitiator being invoked from the server.

 to quote:
 Let us further clarify that, through our proven installation/setup
 experience, the Shooman Application works on a network environment of
 mixed Pentium 3s and earlier computers. As of this writing, we have
 yet
 to prove that Shooman works properly in a network of Pentium 3 (or
 older)
 workstations mixed with Pentium 4s. However, we have proven that the
 application works if ALL workstations are Pentium 4s. It therefore
 follows
 that, should you purchase the latest Pentium 4 computers, you must issue

 ALL your Shooman users with this model in order for the system to work
 properly. (Shooman refers to the Oracle Application residing on a
 server named Shooman)

 I am completely ignorant of Oracle Applications as I have 0 experience
 in managing it.
 I'd really appreciate your opinion if we are being fooled or not.
 I am very concerned about this because as we all know PCs become
 obsolete in months...
 time will come we will have to change PCs...maybe move on to Pentium
 5/6...
 This can pose a problem for us.

 Thanks a lot!

Re: ProC problem

2002-05-27 Thread Tim Gorman

The -I directives to the cc command tell the C compiler where to find
the .h (include) files.

The directory in which that specified file resides is not mentioned in any
of the -I directives.

Either modify the pcscfg.cfg file mentioned as containing the default
options to add -I${ORACLE_HOME}/precomp/admin or specify the directives
some other way...

Re: Media Recovery needed

2002-05-27 Thread Mladen Gogala

Well, Oxford Health Plans (the company that I work for) has a 4-way OPS 
cluster
(HP-9000/N) which gets restored to a single class N machine. I perform 
database
recovery using backup controlfile until cancel and then somebody from 
the business
side verifies the number of members, providers and claims and we're 
done. To restore
the database, we are using the tapes from our external tape storage 
facility. This
proves that we're able to restore the service within 24 hours of 
alleged disaster.
We're not using RMAN but a product called DB Breeze from IBM.

 Trust me, I did recovery more then once. The company that I work for

PREVIOUS SQL statement

2002-05-27 Thread david hill











Hi Guys, I was wondering if someone could
help me



I'm trying to create an AFTER
SERVERERROR trigger that will log all errors and the SQL that caused the error.



Here's what I have so far



CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER server_error_trig

 AFTER SERVERERROR ON DATABASE

 DECLARE text varchar2(1000);

 BEGIN

 select sql_text into text

 from v$session
a , v$sql b

 where a.audsid
= sys_context('USERENV','SESSIONID')

 and a.prev_sql_addr
= b.address;

 INSERT INTO server_error_log
VALUES(ora_sysevent, ora_login_user, SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','OS_USER'), SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CLIENT_INFO'),
sysdate, ora_server_error(1), dbms_utility.format_error_stack, text);

 END;



my problem seems to be if I select * from v$session
I can see my prev_sql_addr.

BUT

If I do this

select prev_sql_addr from v$session where
AUDSID = sys_context('USERENV','SESSIONID');

it returns 00



could someone try the sql above and tell
me if works for you.

I'm running 8.1.7.3












Re: Financials Client question

2002-05-27 Thread James J. Morrow

Actually, there have been (in the past) several issues where Java-ish things
have problems with the Pentium 4 processor.

Most notably:

Note: 178050.1 Jinitiator will not install on Pentium 4 (IV) systems
Note: 145839.1 Oracle Apps 11i not supported on MS Windows NT/2000 with
Pentium 4
Note: 136038.1 ALERT: Win NT/2000 - 9iAS v.1.0.2.2.1 Unsupported on Pentium 4
Note: 132884.1 Unable to run Jinitiator 1.1.8.3 on Pentium 4 machines

I believe that most of these issues may have been addressed, however, if you are
going to have Pentium 4 clients in your environment, I recommend that you make
yourself familiar with these issues and test on a few machines before you order
the bulk of them.

It is my understanding that there may still exist issues with the Pentium 4 chip
as it relates to *SERVER* side deployments.  (i.e. 9iAS on Win NT/2K and 11i on
Win NT/2K servers).  So, as always, proceed with caution.  If you have
doubts/concerns, it is always best to log a TAR and get support to help resolve
your fears...

 Maria,
 
 The Jinitiator is an applet required by Oracle Developer's Forms Server,
 mainly for authentication purposes.  As an applet, it is extremely sensitive
 to the version of the browser and Windows, but not so much the hardware.
 
 However, for someone to assert that the applet is sensitive to the version
 of the hardware seems suspect.  Despite the proven experience claimed by
 these folks, I would suggest that they have less-than-perfect powers of
 observation, reasoning, and deduction.  Confusing the importance of hardware
 components as opposed to software components should not build confidence.
 They are apparently equating Pentium 3s with one version of Windows and
 browser and Pentium 4s with another version of Windows and browser, when
 in fact there is a good deal of overlap that is possible.  It would have
 been more helpful if they had taken the time to examine the software
 versions rather than the hardware, as the software versions surely matter
 more.
 
 ...they would not happen to be PC resellers, would they?  It would explain
 both their orientation as well as their motivation...  :-)
 
 You can find a great deal of more relevant information on MetaLink.  From
 the front-page of MetaLink, click on the left-hand navigation button for
 Product Lifecycle and on that page, click the button for Certification.
 Then, choose from the drop-down lists to find E-Business Suite and
 Jinitiator, and finally choose the version of Windows you are using on the
 client to find the certified, supported versions of the software.  The
 navigation in this section of MetaLink is pretty confusing, but the
 supported configurations and versions of Jinitiator can be found here...
 
 Please note that the type of CPU hardware is never prompted for;  it is
 simply not a criteria.
 
 At the very least, these experts (to which your company is outsourcing a
 critical business function) are sufficiently vague about important technical
 details that you are quite correct to hesitate before believing any
 statements they make without some form of corroboration.
 
 Hope this helps...

  I have received a memo from the implementation team's application DBAs

  have informed me of a certain limitation for the specs of the client

  I was informed that the clients must either be Pentium 3s and below or
  all Pentium 4s.
  Mixed network of Pentium 3 and 4s will not work. I was told it was
  because of the JInitiator being invoked from the server.
 
  to quote:
  Let us further clarify that, through our proven installation/setup
  experience, the Shooman Application works on a network environment of
  mixed Pentium 3s and earlier computers. As of this writing, we have
  yet
  to prove that Shooman works properly in a network of Pentium 3 (or
  older)
  workstations mixed with Pentium 4s. However, we have proven that the
  application works if ALL workstations are Pentium 4s. It therefore
  follows
  that, should you purchase the latest Pentium 4 computers, you must issue
 
  ALL your Shooman users with this model in order for the system to work
  properly. (Shooman refers to the Oracle Application residing on a
  server named Shooman)
 
  I am completely ignorant of Oracle Applications as I have 0 experience
  in managing it.
  I'd really appreciate your opinion if we are being fooled or not.
  I am very concerned about this because as we all know PCs become

  This can pose a problem for us.

Re: PREVIOUS SQL statement

2002-05-27 Thread Stephane Faroult

David,

  I have tried to get the previous SQL on a number of versions and I
have always found the address and hash value pretty buggy - usually the
same as the current SQL. Moreover, SQL statements which have failed are
usually pretty hard to catch (no mention in V$SQLAREA, for what I know).
I have not used everything which follows in the context of an
error-trapping handler, but I have obtained interesting results in
another context. Oracle9 has a new function similar to ora_sysevent and
the like which returns the statement which has fired a trigger;the
documentation seems to imply that it's only available with DDL/Event
triggers but in fact it works everywhere (Joe, take note). This is
unfortunately not available with 8.1.7 but by toying around you can
write yours. Look around V$SQL_CURSOR with the FLAG = 76 condition in
your trigger, then join in on V$SQL using the PARENT_HANDLE column
(which should match ADDRESS). Unfortunately you must make it an external
join because CREATE and DROP statements (at least - I have not made an
exhaustive check yet) do not appear at all as such in V$SQL (however,
TRUNCATE and ALTER statements do). However, you can circumvate this with
the functions which return operation/object type/object owner/object
name - if not the actual statement, it should help you find what has
gone wrong (once again, if it works with an AFTER SERVERERROR trigger -
I have done it with an ON DDL trigger). Also, beware that some DDL
statements such as ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT ... PRIMARY KEY ...
degenerate into TWO statements (alter + create unique index).

Hoping it doesn't sound like Greek to you ...

Re: so when did you switch from NT to unix for oracle

2002-05-27 Thread Tim Gorman



OK, I'll bite...

A P4 can run circles around an Alpha? I think 
not...

The Intel processors are not winning the technical 
battle, butIntel Corporation iswinning the battle with the 
bean-counters and the MBAs. In a world where CIOs seriously consider 
outsourcing the entire IT department of their company at every turn, what Intel 
is doing is using similar logic to convince its competitors that resistance is 
futile, and why not let us build your processors for you?

If technical prowess and long-term company 
viability were even a consideration at Compaq as opposed to showing near-term 
benefits to the financial bottom-line, would the Alpha product line have been 
sold to Intel? Since that company wasconsidering acquisitionby 
another that had already decided to scuttle it's own PA-RISC chip, what factors 
would you think influenced that decision? Is it a coincidence that the 
Alpha sale to Intel was announcedsome 60 daysbefore the Compaq sale 
to HP?

Are the Alpha, PA-RISC, and PowerPC chips being 
scuttled because Intel chips are better, orbecauseIntel 
chipsarejust nearlygoodenough?Have these 
manufacturers (Compaq, HP, and IBM)been convinced that the emphasis on 
differentiation between CPUs is "so 20th century", and why not focus on other 
things? Like finding other creative ways to squeeze worker productivity 
higher and make one's company more attractive to buyout...

Whoops! Better stop now...

Re: snapshot too old error - strange

  2 huge tables A and B
 
  Now , NO ONE carries a DML agains A or B.
 
 If no one ever does DML against those two tables, how did they end up having
 so many rows?
 
 Do you run large batch update or insert operations against these tables from
 time to time?
 

One additional thought : no trigger referring to A and/or B on the
updated table ?

Vivek - I don't know if you checked Google, but the following page has some
information. http://www.ixora.com.au/notes/direct_io.htm
It sounds like on Tru64 5.0 this is yes by default, so you would only be
setting it no.
And sure I always try out new settings on the production server.

Anjo , List

If you mean it is SAFE to set this parameter to Either Value , Thanks

Are there any Guidelines to Set this Value for Best Performance ?
OR Should we Simply Set it  See ?
The only Concern is that it is a Production Database .

Thanks
