  Giving back Perl
  Hello everyone - 
  I've been trying to write more Perl lately and 
  after showing my Perl mentor some of the stuff I had written over the last 
  couple of weeks the first thing he said was "why don't you give back to the 
  community".  
  So I figure if I offer up my latest creation I 
  could 1. give back and maybe help a person or two and 2. receive comments on 
  my coding.  My coding style is rather simplistic and I would appreciate 
  any comments about what I'm doing wrong/how something could be done 
  differently (TMTOWTDI), etc.  My environment is W2K sp2/8.1.7.2.  
  
  I slapped together a script that fires backup 
  controlfile to trace (including the stored proc) and ftp's it off to another 
  server.  If anyone is interested in seeing it please email me 
  directly.

Sorry to get on this thread so late...

To answer Emre's question, we can do it if you have a extproc listener
configured and have a external procedure to do the same.

RE: stopiing write to listener.log

2002-02-07 Thread Prakriteswar Santikary



Peter,
 
How do 
you set the 'Log Rotation' ? From command line utility 'lsnrctl' or is there any 
parameter for listener.ora ? Another thing: How do I track the exact SQLs being 
sent to the Oracle server ? I remember somebody on this list gave some hints in 
this direction. I just don't remember now the parameter name that I have to set 
in the listener.ora (some levl=16 or something like that ?)

  Shibu,
  OK 
  so I now understand a little better your need.
  Of 
  course there is listener OFF (logging_listener=off)
  As I 
  said this really does defeat the point.
   
  Their are two approaches that spring to mind.
  Log 
  Rotation or writing to a pipe.
  Log 
  Rotation:
  Every x hours stop the listener, rename the file, start the 
  listener
  You 
  can then do stats on normal connections and save just the error and startups 
  et al ...
  Writing to a pipe:
  Would mean that you create a pipe alert_SID.ora and have a process that 
  would read from the pipe everything but normal 
connections.
  The 
  disadvantages are 
  - 
  that you may not be able to do this on your NT box.
  - 
  you lose all your stats of cnxs

  What do you really want?
  Log messages written to 
  /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/network/log/listener.log
  You could redivert this to /dev/null however this 
  defeats the point.
  You can rename it every day and archive off after

we run a batch job every hour that takes all the unzipped archived redo
logs and zips them, so that we keep compressing space. The other thing
I used to do was on a daily basis, move the prior day's logs to another
drive so that I was only storing one day's worth of archived logs at
the archive log dest drive

  Sonja,
   
  Here 
  are my rough instructions for how to duplicate a database (by copying files) 
  and then how to alter the database name (typically referred to as "cloning" a 
  database).  
   
  At 
  the end, you will find how to alter the dbid so that RMAN will see it as a new 
  database.
   
  Be 
  sure to bounce the instance as instructed.

RE: Duplicating a Database and Changig SID
Hi!
 
Before I 
tell you procedure, be aware that when you make a clone of your database 
DBID remains the same, which is a problem if you use RMAN for you 
backups.
 
Steps 
are:
0. On 
your database issue: 
 alter 
database backup controlfile to trace 
resetlogs;
1. Backup 
your database.
2. Shutdown database (shutdown 
immediate)
3. Copy 
all your datafile, logfiles, controlfiles to the new 
location
4. Edit 
your new init.ora file and change DB_NAME, DB_BLOCK_SIZE must be the 
same, 
  
  change path for controlfiles, user_dump_dest, 
background_dump_dest, core_dump_dest
5. 
Edit  your new controlfile (which you get in step 0) and change it 
in:
    
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE 'NEWSID' RESETLOGS 

    and change the path of 
datafiles and logs
6. 
Recreate you control file.
7. Change 
your tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files.
 
This 
should do. 
I had no 
problems in doing that
 
HTH,
    Sonja

I thought I had another one but I can't find it.  It was done by Michael
Abbey of Pythian Consulting of Ottawa, Canada.  His presentaion was entitle
something like 'If you don't use rman now you will'  and explained how rman
uses oracle internals to avoid problems.

I have used rman exclusively for all backups since I started with Oracle.
It was very buggy before 8.0.6 but after that it is very stable.  It is well
worth learning,  I can send you some articles about is if you would like.
You can't send attachments on the list.

RE: enable the partitioning option in database?.

what do you do for NT ?

Assuming you have installed the Oracle Partitioning option, there may be an
extra step required to "enable" it, and that is to make sure you relink with
the correct option.  See the following excerpt taken from MetaLink:

To enable the Partitioning Option you must relink the rdbms executable. 

Ensure that the database is shut down and relink as follows: 

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib

For 8.0.x: 

make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_off (to disable)

make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_on (to enable)

make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle 

For 8.1.x:

make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_off ioracle (to disable)

make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_on ioracle (to enable)
