merant drivers on citrix

2004-01-07 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



Found this note on Citrix web site:
 
DataDirect does support the use of Connect for ODBC on Citrix Metaframe and Windows Terminal Server 
environments.  Note that due to known problems with the Microsoft MSI 
Engine, the installation of Connect for ODBC is currently not 
supported through the Citrix Metaframe or 
Windows Terminal Server environments.
 
Therefore, if can use the driver on citrix but can't install it, how do you 
use it???

user reside in a location that has somesort of file server? By each office 
location havingits own oracle client installation on a local fileserver, 
the .dll traffic would be minimized. You might still decide to keep the 
Oracle Clientconfiguration files centralized at the main office(via the 
use of the TNS_ADMIN environment variable).We took the route of 
providing all the developerdesktops with a full fat client, but used a 
responsefile (for OUI) to specify only the minimum filesrequired for our 
environment. I'd be happy to passalong the response file.We do use 
centralized [tnsnames,sqlnet].ora files, butalso use ONAMES as a backup 
names resolution method.Haven't tackled that OID thingy 
yet.hth.Paul__Do

The application is a third-party application using Merant's ODBC

How do people normally install the client.  Do you do an install to

reason that Oracle doesn't support configurations like this.  There is 
a fair amount of "chatter" between an application and the Oracle client 
DLL's.  When this chatter starts flying over the network rather than 
merely going to a local DLL, you start to get performance problems.How 
are your application(s) designed?  It's probably possible to tweak an 
OCI application to make fewer OCI calls.  If you're using ODBC, and 
have the budget, you could purchase one of the wire-protocol ODBC 
drivers.Justin CaveDistributed Database Consulting--

oracle client on PC's

2004-01-06 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



Rather than installing the Oracle client on every client PC, we have 
been:- installing client on 1 PC
- copying directory to a network server
- extract the registry for "oracle" key
- fix registry that was extracted to reference the network drive
- load registry on client PCs
- add the network pc as a search drive to the client pc.
 
We are now experiencing problems over the WAN and looking at ways to 
eliminate the Oracle dll overhead.  Short of installing Oracle on every

RE: pga_aggregate_target

2003-12-29 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom
Will look at what you suggest.  The Oracle docs suggest you using a formula based on 
amount of system memory.  However, this is not the only database on the server.

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/26/03 3:29:26 PM >>>
Jeffrey,

If you are simply looking at a conversion from 8i to 9iR2, and you're not
going to be implementing a bunch of new 9i features (that could affect PGA
usage), then it's probably reasonably straightforward.  You can look at 
'session pga memory' and 'session pga memory max' statistics in V$SESSTAT to
get an idea of current PGA memory consumption in 8i.  The 'max' statistic
is probably more interesting in terms of total aggregate memory consumption

pga_aggregate_target

Starting an upgrade project for 8i to 9i R2.  How can I come up with a 
reasonable starting value for the pga_aggregate_target

"extra" thread with SQL*Net DCD turned on

2003-09-29 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



For the past 1.5 years, starting at Oracle 8.1.7.3.2 and now 8.1.7.4.10 on 
windows; we have encountered a problem wherein we encounter a runaway thread 
during patching of Oracle Applications 11i.  This thread is not know to 
v$session and orakill will not terminate it.  The only solution has been 
stop the database and service.  
 
Recently, following implementation of HRMS F and its prerequisites 
(including FND G), the runaway thread problem mutated to a major thread 
leakage.  In our dev/test instances, with the above patches installed, we 
would hit 1000 threads assigned to oracle.exe per task manager  
 
After a long ODC session with support and continuously monitoring of the 
threads, it appeared that the "extra" thread created for each connection 
was not always being terminated.  You get two threads per connect of which 
one appears to be for DCD.  Friday, we turned off ODC in test and appear 
stable.  We are now trying in dev to confirm this may be a solution.  
If so, we will turn it off in production and implement the patches.
 
Does anyone have similar problems with DCD.  We had seen some bugs on 
this but they were with 8.1.7.2.x.  During our ODC session, we asked about 
known bugs and there were none.

Well, have you tried it?
 
In my understanding orakill is actually an OS thread 
killer written by Oracle, it just searches the appropriate oracle.exe based 
on SID and kills the thread with OS thread id in it. It does 
not log on to Oracle to check whether Oracle knows anything about this 
thread or not, it just simply kills the thread with id you provide and that's 
it.

  Hi!
   
  Orakill is able to kill threads based on thread id. But 
  since you can't find out the "runaway" thread id-s from v$process, you could 
  find all thread id-s in oracle.exe, minus those spids which exist in 
  v$process and kill those. But I definitely recommend to turn to support first, 
  because killing threads that way isn't a nice thing to do in production system

set correct "next" time after fixing broken job

2003-09-16 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



If I mark a job as broken to prevent its being run and later mark it as 
being unbroken,  it appears that by default the "next run date" is set as 
the current date.  If I want to have the job rescheduled back to its 
original date/time, is there a way to do that.  Let's say the job runs 
daily at 10:00 p.m.  If I mark the job as broken and later as unbroken 
without specifying a date, it runs immediately.  However, I know that I can 
code a date when I unbreak the job, but how can I do this in sql without 
hardcoding a date.  We have several jobs we would sometimes like halted 
during maintenance and would like to avoid having to hardcode a date when 
unbreak them.

Both 11.5.8 and 11.5.9 are 22 CDs, totalling about 12Gb.  
If you start with 11.5.8 or below, you'd also want to 
download the 11.5.9 patch anyway, which is a further 
2.5Gb or so...

Nearly all of our Oracle installs on Win2k are by
a domain user that may also be a domain admin.

Never caused any problems, no one has ever asked.

Just installed Perl 5.8.  Ran ppm3 to install the DBD package 
and PPM couldn't find it.  I looked at activeperl site, it stated 
dbd for Oracle failed.  I have now installed perl 5.6 and can find dbd/dbi

With Perl 5.8, are you supposed to use something other than dbd/dbi to 
access an Oracle database?

Re: Service startup on Windows 2000 fails

what happens if try starting the listener from the command line.

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2/19/03 9:08:53 AM >>>
Service startup on Windows 2000 fails
Good morning everyone, 
Windows 2000 sp3, ver 8.1.7.2
I have NO IDEA what is going on here.  I can't start any of the services associated 
with Oracle, not with my logon, not with local admin, not with a local account with 
appropriate permissions, nothing. 
Here's what I've tried:Followed note on metalink stating to add local security 
policies:  Act as part of operating system, increase quotas, log on as batch job, 
replace a process level token, and rebooted.  
All logons are part of the administrator and the ORA_DBA group.  
I am able to log in as each of these local accounts, the accounts are not locked or 
messed up.  I have double-checked the password in the properties tab. 
Local system account also fails with same error. 

Here's the error I receive when I try to manually start the listener service:
Could not start the OracleOraHome81TNSListener service on Local Computer.  The service 
did not return an error  This could be an internal Windows error or an internal 
service error.  If the problem persists, contact your system administrator.
I am clueless and so is the sysadmin.  I am just thankful this is a test system 
instead of production... I know next to nothing about windows. 
Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks

ago. 
The bug described is quite significant. 
Last weekend I had upgraded an 8.1.7.2 database to 9.2.0.2 using 
export-import [as we were upgrading the OS and 
rebuilding the RAID-5 arrays and re-organising the file 
systems at the same time] and I can't just go back and verify each 
of the multi-million-row 
tables.  Look up bug 2598387 -- it's scary.

discoverer 3i to 4i upgrade

2003-01-30 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



when we rolled out discoverer last year, we used the 3i version and not the 
3.1 client/server version.
 
Now planning upgrade to 4i. 
 
One step is to save the 3i workbooks prior to dropping the current 
EUL.
 
Since 3i does not have a "save to file system" option, short of having to 
now roll-out the client server version, how can I save the current 
workbooks.  Even if I wanted to save them myself I can't since would need 
to login as the workbooks owner.

Oracle Portal w/Single-signon

2002-11-18 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



Saw demos of Oracle Portal and really liked it.  Have decided to 
implement it.  We are also running Oracle Apps 11i (11.5.3 patched to 
11.5.6+).  
 
From what I have seen it appears that portal must be installed in the 11i 
database.  This just does not seem to make sense.  Why would my 
intranet site have to be controlled by 11i availablilty.  What happens if 
11i is down for patching, etc.
 
Can someone shed some light on this.

Re: [Q] how to check ORACLE thread and kill it on NT????

2002-10-30 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



wonderfull:))
 
For me at least.  I have been waiting ages for somebody to hit our 
problem.  Oracle has been looking at it for months.  In our case, it 
only happens during patching of the Oracle Apps 11i software.
 
does this match:


  
  CPU goes to 100% (in some cases may not be that high - usually is but had 
  a case of only at 20 %). 
  no users logged into the database - check v$session 
  if use pslist utility from sysinternals.com to list threads in the oracle 
  process, you find the thread consuming cpu does not exist in the v$session 
  view. 
  Using orakill on the thread consuming CPU has no impact. 
  Shutting down the database does not resolve. 
  must stop the service to get the cpu back to normal. 
  restart database and resume patching and all is fine.
If this matches your problem would really be interested since Oracle says 
we are the only one with the problem.

Could you have a "lost" thread.  We have experienced, on multiple 
servers, running 8.1.7.3.2.  We put a patch on Oracle Applications 11i and 
only during the very large patches, CPU goes to 100% and stays there.  If 
look at the threads, the one using cpu is not known to Oracle.  Have had a 
tar open for a while on this.  Oracle believes it is a logon request 
getting stuck.  weird part is that the Oracle Apps patching program does 
not see an error and continues on.  
 
If we stop the database, cpu stays at 100% until we stop the service.

On NTs that are not a Primary or Backup Domain controller, OEM install

However, we have just implemented a policy wherein all NT account passwords

I notice that only indexed columns are getting column stats - as

values for the column.

RE: runaway oracle.exe thread on NT / W2K

2002-06-07 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



Problem is that can not reproduce on demand.  Yesterday, we were doing 
the wrap up for PO G patches, i.e. generate messagess, flexfields, etc.  
Experienced the problem, tried redoing the same tasks and worked.  
 
Then after bringin up concurrent manager, lots of compile flexfield 
requests started (we had upped number of standard managers from 6 to 30).  
Since CPU at 100%, kept lowering number of standard managers from 30 to 20 and 
eventually back to 6.  When requests done noticed cpu at 50%.  Stopped 
everything and still at 50% due to a thread.  
 
Have been running 8.1.7.3.2 on another dev database for about a month with 
no problems, but there also had the problem but don't recall when since at the 
time thought it was a fluke.  Did not get concerned until happened again 
(couple times) on another server and that's when openned the TAR.  
 
Therefore, don't know how to reproduce but getting leary of moving it to 
production.

then it is likely a problem with a background thread. 
 
If you are using sqlnet expire time it 
creates 2 threads for each connection, the timer thread will not show up in 
v$process. There are also a few other threads that will not show up related to 
process management. 
 
One approach:
Once you have a database instance with this 
problem that you are willing to crash you can attach to it with a debugger to 
get a look at what is up. The simple way to do this with little expertise is to 
use:
drwtsn32 -p 

This will generate a dump file (given that 
you haven't reconfigured dr watson) that support can review (well, the BDE group 
can) for content. They'll need to know the EXACT version of the database you 
have as well as the OS version (including service packs and hot fixes) to get 
the right dbg symbols in place.

Runaway threads in 8.1.7.3.2 on NT/W2K

2002-05-23 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



We are running Oracle 8.1.7.3.2 on W2K/NT.  
 
We have experienced a problem while applying Oracle Apps patches that CPU 
shot to 100% for 4 threads.  The weird part is that the patch had aborted 
so nothing was running in the database.  Bouncing database cleared the 
problem.  
 
Continued with more patches and noticed CPU running at 25% with nothing 
running.  Again bounced database and back to normal.
 
Latest item we noticed today is that CPU is normal (less than 5%) with no 
users but we have 40 threads showing in task manager.  Did shutdown 
immediate and count only went down to 30.
 
Bounced database and now have 12 threads.  If connect / disconnect, I 
see the count go up and then down again.
 
Looks like Oracle is missing some threads - possibly why during our 
patching of the Oracle Apps we see CPU out of control.
 
We have a TAR on this but so far Oracle is lost regarding the high 
CPU.  Especially given that don't have it right now.  Hoping the extra 
threads will point to something.

recovery keeps wanting logs

2002-05-07 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



Recently installed a W2k server on a SAN.  Using backupexec for 
W2K.  Initial test worked great.  
 
This week one final test before moving a production database to it.  
Backed up the database.  Restored the database.  Launched recovery, it 
requested the log from during the backup and then wanted more! - there is no 
more.
 
 
Today did a test to see if it is Veritas.
- put back saved disk copy of the database- started the database- 
manually set system, psrbs and pstemp to backup mode- ran ocopy to do the 
backup- set tablespaces to end backup mode- switched logfile- 
shutdown database- renamed directory to save- renamed the directory 
containing the 3 copied tablespaces to "f:\htst"- started the service- 
recreated the controlfile containing only these 3 tablespaces- did recover 
until cancel- did the log switched to and then cancelled recovery- alter 
database open says system needs more logs!!!
 
 
Therefore, not Veritas problem.   
 
Any help appreciated.

backupexec from Veritas on NT

2002-04-23 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



Just installed latest backupexec w/agent on a new server.  Testing a 
recoveryby trying to restore to a different directory.  Files are 
getting a prefixadded to them.  For example, backed up database htst on 
drive f.  when restore,files are getting prefixed with 
fhtst.    Veritas is telling us "this is how it now 
works".  Can't believe there is no way around it.  Otherwise, how take 
backups for disaster recovery onto a different server or cloning a 24x7 
database.We routinely clone production to test/development and need to 
be able torestore a database backup to a different server and/or directory 
(in thecase where test is on a production server).Any 
ideas.

upgrade from 8.1.6 to 8..1.7.3

2002-04-17 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



On the same server running 8.1.6.1.5 and 8.1.7.3.2. 
Now ready to upgrade the 8.1.6 database to 8.1.7. 
Our 8.1.7 is 8.1.7.3.2, in the 8.1.7.3.0 readme it stated: Database 
Migration When migrating a database from an earlier release, for instance 
8.0 to 8.1, you must complete the database migration to the 8.1.7 release 
prior to applying this patch set. You cannot perform the 8.1.7 migration 
after a patch set has been installed 
Being NT I really can't install another home of 8.1.7. Does this mean I 
can't upgrade directly from 8.1.6 to 8.1.7.3.x I have never heard of 
this before and have done it for other releases. 
The following is from note 148903.1 talking about upgrading to the 
latest version of 8.1.7 with the oracle apps. While not applicable to my 
case, it even states when upgrading from 8.1.6 to 8.1.7, install 8.1.7 and 
patch to current release and then upgrade the database: 
You will be upgrading directly to the current 8.1.7 patch set level. 
You may disregard any admonition in the 8.1.7 patch set README that warns 
that you cannot upgrade directly to that patch set level. 
 
So can I upgrade directly or not.

move database to new server and higher version of same 8.1.7

2002-04-11 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



I don't think this should be a problem but just asking.
 
This is all on NT/W2K
 
On server A, I have a database running 8.1.7.1.5
 
On server B, I have other databases running 8.1.7.3.2.
 
To consolidate servers I plan to:1.  Take a hot backup (since it 
is production) of the database on Server A.2.  Restore the backup to 
server B.3.  Copy archive logs, online redo logs and control file from 
server A to B.4.  Start the database on server B and initiate recovery 
- required since was a hot backup and to get any logs generated from time of 
backup and until actual switch over.5.  Run the 8.1.7.3.2 patch 
scripts.  
 
I don't think this should be a problem since both databases are 8.1.7 just 
different versions.  Note, no upgrade scripts will be run other than 
catalog/catproc per the 8.1.7.3.2 instructions.

accessing reports processed by the reports server

2001-11-15 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom



We are a two node install of Oracle Apps 11i all on NT.  The question 
though is really with the reports server and the web server being on separate 
nodes.  We are an apps 11i two node install.
 
From the apps, we are able to submit a business intelligence report to the 
report server.  However, the browser never returns.  Continually tries 
to open a page forever.  Oracle's current thought is that since the web 
server and report server are on different nodes, the browser could not access 
it.  Therefore, changed the mapping for the apps "cache" to point to the 
database server and run apache as a user.  If enter the URL directly of 
where the report is in the database server's file system cache, can now view 
it.  However, the apps still hangs.  If try to access the report from 
the "showjobs" screen, it hangs as well.  Almost like web server asking the 
report server for the report but never gets a response??  
 
This has been going on for a few weeks now and getting no where.  Any 
help greatly appreciated.

Re: Client install from hell

We have had the same problem for a long time.  Work-around was to do a 
custom install and pick a few products at a time.  Then one day decided to 
install Oracle workflow client and did not have a "custom" option. Oracle solved 
problem by granting full control to system/everyone on the drive installing 
to.

is to do as Simon said and install inmultiple passes.  1- 
Choose the custom install type. Select forinstallation only the problem 
component (e.g. OracleProvider for OLE DB).  The last itemName in 
theinstallactions.log is the "problem component." De-select all other 
components you're allowed to. Thiswill ensure that you only install the 
minimum numberof components possible to install the

first pass will not bereinstalled during the second pass.BTW, both

Running backupexec 7.3 on 5 database servers.  4 of 5 run at 40-50

the slow one is running on our fastest box (2 - 1000 MHz processors).  Any

development instance with all users currently locked out.

anyone know of a way to find the date a user's password was last changed.  I can
not set up a profile with an password life time since the user logs in via a
third party application which can not handle the message about grace logins. 
Therefore, I was going to email users when password is N days old.  If user does
not change then would lock user out.

oem 2.2 with Oracle Apps 11.5.3

Anyone know if can use OEM 2.2 with Oracle Apps 11.5.3.  OEM 2.2 is supposed to be 
able to co-exist with 8.1.6 as long as put in a separate home.  Would I have to put 
OEM last in the search path since it will also install sqlpluse?

11.5.3 on nt lost old oracle home

2001-03-15 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom

We had been running 7.3.4 server partitioned to 8.1.6 on NT.

Installed Financials 11.5.3 from staging area and tried to bring 10.7 backup.  Will 
upgrade once complete category 2 steps for the apps.  Eventually got it up.  The 
problem is that now can not get access to a 7.3.4 database we were using for other 
apps on the same development NT system.  Apparently, installer created a new home 
putting only 8.0.6 in it.  My old home of 7.3.4/8.0.6 exists on disk but not to the 
old installer (not the universal one).  I tried switching oracle homes but all that 
did was alter the path.  Right now I have products installed in the old default_home 
which can not uninstall or do anything with since the installer is not looking at them.

I deleted the sid and tried using oradim73 to recreate it but it gets a illegal read 
or some such error.  Probably because the registry says to use the home layed down by 
11.5.3 for 8.0 databases and not my old oracle home.

Any ideas on how to get 7.3 back??

c++ install failed on oraspawn

2001-02-12 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom

Currently running Oracle Financials 10.7 on NT with Oracle 7.3.4 server partitioned to 
8.1.6 on the same node.

In preparation for upgrading to 11i:

I successfully installed C++, MKS Toolkit and "make" on the web server. 

Now trying to install C++ on the database server and keep getting messages from 
vs60wiz.exe that ordinal 2 could not be located in oraspawn.  The install program then 
Dr. Watson's.


This box has Oracle 7 and 8.0.6 in one home and 8.1.6 in a separate home.


Suggestions???

Re: Re[2]: People Soft dba info

2001-02-01 Thread Jeffrey Beckstrom

I have been supporting Peoplesoft for 5 years now.  Like Dick says, it is NOT written 
for Oracle and does not use constraints, packages, etc.  

It has its own data dictionary which it uses when altering tables.  I wrote SQL to 
repopulate the Peoplesoft dictionary with sizing from the catalog.

Never had any classes just picked it up.  When needed some help, asked our developers 
who went to the classes.

>>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2/1/01 10:32:17 AM >>>
Mike,

Does PeopleSoft have database training, Yes.  Will it help you with Oracle,
NO WAY IN HELL!.  PeopleSoft uses Sql*Server in their development & training. 
They also don't do anything outside of the PeopleTools suite.  Therefore, for
database sizing, performance tuning, backup & recovery, etc...  Your on your
own.  To PeopleSoft a "database" is equal to a schema, although they don't
really like, but do accept, having more than one schema inside one database
instance.  I do recommend the following PeopleSoft classes though, PeopleTools I
& II (this is the basic stuff), Configuration & Administration (configuration
pertains to the Application server from BEA & the process scheduler), Upgrade &
Data Management workshop (really gets into the upgrade process which is very
involved).  If possible you should also take a PeopleCode class.

Hi Joan,

I'm starting a job soon supporting a database holding PeopleSoft data, so I
was looking for a heads up on what I should expect. 'PeopleSoft Training' --
See, I didn't know they had specific PeopleSoft database training, so that's
good to know.

I'll look at the places you suggested, Thanks
