Re: Upgrade gotchas - 8.1.7.4->9.2.0.3 on Windows
Title: Upgrade gotchas - 8.1.7.4->9.2.0.3 on Windows Lisa, Just a follow-up question. I've set the ORA_SID_PFILE parameter in the registry, but do not use a password file. When I start up the database it looks for the PFILE in the default directory instead of the path specified in the registry. So, I'm required to provide the "pfile= " in my startup command, or place the "pfile" in the default directory. From what I understand, the value of ORA_SID_PFILE in the registry will be used at database startup automatically, so the "pfile = " parameter is not required. Is this correct ? I've checked metalink, but have been unsuccessful in finding a solution. thanks. ed - Original Message - From: Koivu, Lisa To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 12:40 PM Subject: Upgrade gotchas - 8.1.7.4->9.2.0.3 on Windows Thought I'd let you know since a couple of people are planning upgrades to 9.2 on Windows (that I've heard from) - here's the gotchas I ran into with my upgrade. The databases were fine but other stuff broke, of course. After upgrading, there's crap left in the registry that refers to the older version of Oracle. Backup Exec doesn't like that. I had to delete the old oracle_home out of the registry and reboot. Suddenly all my backups were working. Of course I only run one oracle_home so I was able to remove this entry without consequence. Also, the install doesn't set the right path for SQLPATH: it sets it to a unix directory, \dbs. Once I changed it to OH\bin, my perl scripts were able to connect to sqlplus. They were failing before... It also doesn't set ORA_sid_PWFILE at all. This value needs to be there and be correct if you want to run startup without specifying the pfile on the command line. I'm not getting any emails from the list for some reason so I don't know if this will be well received... but I hope this helps at least one person.

"union all" problems
Hi, We have a query which uses a "union all". After upgrading to a patch release of Oracle this query no longer works.

It worked with Oracle 8.1.7.2, but after upgrading to 8.1.7.4 we get this error. Has anyone experienced this ? thanks. ed

Have you encountered any problems with it? The databases I inherited have this set false all over the place, hence my tuning efforts are really limited. However I don't want to change it without checking around first. And a tuning question: This environment (peoplesoft) is very very low on memory. When the app servers and databases are up there's less than 50MB of memory free. Adding hardware is not a choice here. The databases have 100MB set for the SGA. It really looks like not much thought went into some of the parm settings. What I've read about tuning says that you must have a goal in mind. Well, afaik nothing is "broken", nothing is suffering - then again, no one really paid much attention to Oracle. It was up, fine, move on. Am I on the wrong path if my goal for tuning is to figure out if I can reduce the size of the SGA and redo logs without adversely affecting performance? Any comments are appreciated.

export with "first rows"
Hello, We have the optimizer mode set to "first rows" on our (25gb) database to meet a vendor requirement. When I do an "direct" export, it runs for 6-7 hours. When I change the optimizer mode to "choose" it runs in around an hour. It also runs in an hour when I set the the optimizer mode to "first rows", and run stats on the "sys" schema. I'm curious why this occurs. Has anyone experienced this ? Any ideas why this happens ? Is this normal behavior ? I could not find anything on metalink. thanks. Oracle 8.1.7.2, aix 4.3.3. ed
controlling CPU usage through Oracle
Hi, I'm looking for a way to control CPU usage of particular queries on a database. After exploring, and implementing ways of optimizing the code, these queries can run anywhere from 45 seconds to 2 minutes. This database is 1 of 5 on this box. So, although it's important to build effective queries, it's also important in this environment that these queries do not impact the other 4 databases. What I want to do is place a limit on CPU usage without terminating the query. I've looked at profiles with the "cpu_per_call" and "cpu_per_session" settings. I have never used profiles, but from what I understand, these will kill the session once they reach a threshold. I'm also looking at database resource management. This may be more appropriate for this situation. Has anyone used this, and if so what are you experiences ? Would you recommend it ? Would the only way to control CPU usage on this box, be through the operating system ? I welcome any suggestions. I appreciate your time. The environment is Oracle 8.1.7.2, AIX 4.3.3.

Re: Re[2]: controlling CPU usage through Oracle
Kevin, Thanks for your input. Just to clarify; I only want to control this one database. I want to limit its resources so it does not impact the other 4 databases on the box. So, in that case would resource manager be beneficial ? Also, besides profiles, and resource manager, does anyone know of any other tools provided by Oracle which would limit resources ? Or, any 3rd party tools that my be beneficial ?

Resource Manager would work great for a single database but Ed is trying to divvy up resources between 5 databases. I don't have any good solution. I suppose if everything running on this one database was less important than anything on the other 4 databases, you could renice the one database.

Does your OS have any domain partitioning features that you can use to create separate "servers"? You could carve out a portion of the CPU resources into a small domain and dedicate it to your problem child. The net effect would be to throttle the problem database by denying it the resources used by the others. How about using processor sets do achieve the same thing. I'm thinking along the lines of two sets, one with a very low number of CPU's. You would then bind your problem child to the small set and the rest to the other. HTH Tony Aponte
visual workbench problem
Hello, I'm installing "Oracle's Visual Workbench for Oracle Procedural gateways for IBM Mqseries" version 8.0.4.1.0 on W2k. (that's a mouthful) When I run the program I get the following error : "error while connecting to the repository, protocol violation" I searched metalink for a solution, and one recommendation was to replace the "class111.zip" from the install, with the 8.1.7 version of the same file. After doing that, I ran the program and got the following : "the database has no (compatible) repository installed. Do you want to install/upgrade a repository ? " At this point I was not allowed to respond; the response was "greyed-out". The repository though is created and is running on AIX, Oracle 8.1.7.2. I was also able to connect to the repository from my client using sqlplus. Any help is appreciated. thanks. ed

backup of large databases
Hello, I'm curious how people handle the backups for large/very large databases; 200gb or greater. My questions are not targeted towards any specific hardware platform, but we are using Oracle 8.1.7. I'm assuming that archiving is enabled. Are backups done nightly, or because of time constraints are they done weekly ? If weekly, do you feel comfortable having to possibly apply a week of archives, in the case of a recovery ? Do you use disk or tape ? Do you use RMAN or other backup tools ? What are the customer's expections for recovery and how do they effect your backup strategy ? I appreciate your input. ed
