Intermedia Indexing
Hi, We have an Oracle iFS installation and have enabled Intermedia. Some documents fail indexing with Status 1 or Status 2 errors. The documents are PDF (pdf 1.3), Excel, World and HTM documents.

RE: iFS - storing XML via Windows Explorer
No can do. Quoting the iFS 1.1.9 [ie the one with 8.1.7] Setup and Administration Guide, Chapter 6, Task 3: Load Files into Oracle iFS : The Four Ways to Load Files into Oracle iFS This section discusses the four possible ways of loading documents into Oracle iFS. Remember to set the default ACL on your user ID to ensure that loaded files have the correct security. Drag and Drop in the Windows and Web Interfaces In both theWindows Explorer and the Web interface, you can drag and drop files into Oracle iFS. When you load files using either SMB or drag and drop in the Web interface, the XML files are parsed by default. If you do not want the XML files to be parsed, you must use another protocol to load your files. Use FTP to Load Files While running the FTP server, you can use any FTP client to load files into Oracle iFS. Using the FTP protocol is the most efficient way to performbulk file loading. When you load files using FTP, XML files are parsed by default. You can turn off the parsing mode by using a quote command. Browse and Upload Using the Web Interface Using the Web, choose Upload by Browse and select the file to upload. You can select to parse the file and apply an ACL. This is an efficient tool because it can be used from any machine and does not require any client installation except for a browser. Use the Command Line Utilities You can use the Command Line Utilities to load files into Oracle iFS by using the ifsmv command or the ifsput command.When you load files into Oracle iFS using the Command Line Utilities, XML files are parsed by default. You can turn off the parsing mode by using the ifsmode parse off command.

That you're running diag.cmd and not diag.csh, I assume you are on NT.
What version of iAS and Portal are you using.
I have used diag.csh (on Solaris, iAS 1.0.2.2, Portal 3.0.9) when we had

In fact, it can't find the server name for the portal.
Meanwhile we can access the portal no problem from a Web browser. I logged

RE: Oracle Gold Support/ iTARs
On advantage with the iTAR is that you CAN precisely define your problem -- you write in the 15 line problem description yourself not some Analyst who writes a curt single line description. You can then keep following up with additonal details and questions which certainly get logged as you type them in. A disavantage is that you can't be sure which Analyst is handling your call. With telephonic support you would get to know the Analysts at your local support centre over a period of time -- now they are virtual analysts.

Re: Oracle Migration 7.3.4.5 to 8.1.6.3
Why 8.1.6.3 ? Go to 8.1.7.2 or 8.1.7.3. 8.1.6 has been desupported. What is the OS version ? Solaris 2.5.1 ? 32-bit 8.1.7 is certified on 2.6 and above. 64-bit 8.1.7 is on Solaris 8 (2.8) of course. That you have a Cluster -- is it OPS or single-instance database which fails over to the second node ? If you use the MIGrate utility, you should have very low downtime. 1. Install 8.1.7 + Patchset 2 or 3 : 1.5 hours max. Install into a seperate ORACLE_HOME. 2. MIG database 1 hour ?? (depends on the size of the SYSTEM Tablespace, not the full database) -- I suggest you use the command-line MIG utility, I've been more comfortable with it than ODMA. 3.

RE: Sun Cluster and VCS failover
I would think 12 to 15 minutes still too high. Damagement would generally specify a max of 5 minutes. Have you found out why it takes 12 to 15 minutes ? Do the File Systems take so long or does the Instance Recovery take so long ? Do you have to put a sleep in the startup scripts [when I setup a failover cluster for Oracle Apps with Oracle Web Application Server 3.0.2, I put in a sleep of 30seconds for the Web server -- WAS302 has to have the physical host-name hardcoded in the wrb.app file so I maintained two copies of the file and the startup script would copy in the correct one, depending on the hostname, as wrb.app but sometimes it wouldn't startup immediately ; I had to put a sleep after the file copy].

Hi, I want to host SSL and non-SSL requests on one physical server running one 9iAS. After installing 9iAS the httpd.conf file specifies by default that it is listening on port . Later on in httpd.conf it has an SSL directive that says it's listening on port 80 and 443. Does this mean that this one Apache server can service non-SSL requests on and SSL requests on 443 at the same time? There is a document on Metalink(135231.1) that describes how to run two Apache servers in one 9iAS home.

Re: Error in relinking executables after Upgrade Unix OS from 2.6 TO
The relink expects to use the linker from /usr/ccs/bin. /usr/ucb and /usr/ccs/bin are different. /usr/ccs* contains the SVR4 distribution. /usr/ucb* contain the BSD distribution. In fact, /usr/ucb/ld [on my machine] is a shell-script which sets the LD_RUN_PATH and defines /usr/ucblib first, ie it changes the order of the libraries. If you have copied /usr/ucb/ld over to /usr/ccs/bin/ld you will see that the program is calling itself --- it would be forking multiple processes till it runs out of swap space. You should be using /usr/ccs/bin/ld. Oracle requires the SVR4 linker. Ask your Solaris vendor to install it.

Re: password question
Sameer, The obvious answer you can't decrypt the password. Else a number of people would think harder about buying Oracle. It's a one-way hash -- you can't get the original value back. It is possible to temporarily reset a user's password to something else, become the user with your own password and reset the password back to the original value, without knowing what the original password was. e.g. suppose a user's encrypted password string is 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP', read this string from DBA_USERS, store it someplace (a variable, a table ;), execute ALTER USER username identified by mypassword, login as the user CONNECT username/mypassword, do your SQLs as that user, reset the user's password ALTER USER username identified by values 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP' Hemant K Chitale Principal DBA Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd Ghadge,Sameer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 22/02/2002 11:38 AM Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please respond to ORACLE-L To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: CHITALE Hemant Krishnarao/IT/CHRT/ST Group) Subject: password question Hi, Oracle stores password in encrypted format, is it possible (suppose i have access to dba_users table) to retrieve and descrypt the password. thx Sameer -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Ghadge,Sameer INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

RE: password question
But where do you get the known or captured hash ? Only a DBA can query DBA_USERS for PASSWORD. A regular user cannot query DBA_USERS and cannot see PASSWORD in ALL_USERS. If you are already a DBA on the target database you really don't need to find out the password for another user. Supposing you grab a site's FULL Export dump. I guess you can then do a FULL Import and get the captured hash. But why do you need it now that you have the FULL Database with you anyway ?

Hash is consistent which is why you can pick up the password string and drop it to another database (same username) and have the password work on the new machine. A non Oracle example would be to perform the following at the unix prompt: echo 'some test string' | md5 With the hash, you could create several variations and test against the known or 'captured' hash.

Database ON LOGON Trigger 2. Lock Database Account 3. Change Database Account Password 4. Startup Database in Restricted mode would work. The users connect to the Database in the APPS schema -- this is the universal schema that Oracle Apps uses. The Patch requires APPS so Restricted doesn't help (unless you grant Restricted to APPS in which case all the users can logon). Ditto about locking, changing password or writing a trigger on the APPS schema. What you can do are : 1. Shutdown the Apache server for the Self-Service Modules 2. Shutdown the Forms server for the Forms Module 3. Shutdown the Concurrent Managers. All of the above would affect ALL users. Alternatively, login to the Application as the System Administrator user and change the Application User Passwords for the users whom you want disabled. Change the passwords back to a default (WELCOME) later. However, what you SHOULD do, per Oracle Support, is 1. Shutdown 2. Shutdown 3. Shutdown as I have listed above. If you are familiar with Oracle Applications Patching and are comfortable with reading the Patch drivers, you can figure out what database objects are being modified/updated/created and what Forms/Reports/HTML etc files are being modified/created by the patch.

Catherine, Why don't you migrate from WebDB to Apache ?. There is excellent documentation on migrating from WebDB to Apache for 11i. Your WebDB listener could be hung if it is running in the wrong shell -- eg if you logout of the telnet session where the WebDB listener was started, you will see subsequents requests to the listener failing. This is because the parent shell has died. If you are starting it from the Bourne shell, try switching to Korn shell before starting it (or vice versa).

RE: Web DB 2.5 listener always hung for Oracle HRMS applications V11.
Catherine, You have the wrong note. Look up Note 119873.1 titled Apache Single Listener Configuration for Applications 11.5.1 I don't know how you are using the at command to startup the servers. I didn't suggest that the forms server and reports server die. I was talking of the WebDB listener specifically ! WebDB2.2 handles forms sign-ons while 2.5 handles online help and personal home page and self-service modules. Note 113254.1 refers to the Forms Server/Reports Server/ WebDB 2.2 dying because of the wrong shell. You need to check the shell your WebDB 2.5 runs from. Note 144400.1 covers WebDB 2.5 as well. Do a ps -ef to see if the process is running. Remember that WebDB 2.2 and 2.5 have different startup scripts and process names. I do remember seeing WebDB 2.5 die by itself occassionally. We had a cron job running the webdb startup script periodically.

Re: Disable certain users from login to database while applying Human
As you are talking of Oracle Apps, NONE of the suggested solutions : 1. Database ON LOGON Trigger 2. Lock Database Account 3. Change Database Account Password 4. Startup Database in Restricted mode would work. The users connect to the Database in the APPS schema -- this is the universal schema that Oracle Apps uses. The Patch requires APPS so Restricted doesn't help (unless you grant Restricted to APPS in which case all the users can logon). Ditto about locking, changing password or writing a trigger on the APPS schema. What you can do are : 1. Shutdown the Apache server for the Self-Service Modules 2. Shutdown the Forms server for the Forms Module 3. Shutdown the Concurrent Managers. All of the above would affect ALL users. Alternatively, login to the Application as the System Administrator user and change the Application User Passwords for the users whom you want disabled. Change the passwords back to a default (WELCOME) later. However, what you SHOULD do, per Oracle Support, is 1. Shutdown 2. Shutdown 3. Shutdown as I have listed above. If you are familiar with Oracle Applications Patching and are comfortable with reading the Patch drivers, you can figure out what database objects are being modified/updated/created and what Forms/Reports/HTML etc files are being modified/created by the patch. Then you can take an intelligent decision should you allow users to logon when applying the patch ?

When you define the database connection in the ADI setup screens, you can't find the information saved anwhere in the files the ADI Home on the PC.

We have enabled Database Session Audit and I have found that when a user used ADI and Excel to do a Journal Import from Excel to Oracle GL for 48 Journal Lines, the client made 21 connections to the database as APPLYSPUB and 26 connections as APPS between 14:46:00 and 14:50:18 (in the space of 4 minutes).

Re: About Temporary tablespaces and temporary segments allocation
Imma, A database when created, by default, has all tablespaces as of type PERMANENT. A sort which exceeds the sort_area_size allocated in memory goes to the user's TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE which, btw, CAN be a PERMANENT tablespace. Thus, sorts would allocate Temporary Segments in the tablespace named TEMP. The issue with having a PERMANENT TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE is that you would have frequent segments being created and dropped and extents being allocated and dropped within each segment whenever users do large sorts. This could be a performance hit and can fragment the Tablespace. If there are no segments in the tablespace, you could just do an ALTER TABLESPACE temp TEMPORARY and a single sort segment would be created on the first sort/usage of the tablespace. Note that once the tablespace is TEMPORARY, you cannot create any other objects (Tables/Indexes) in it. You can segments and extents in PERMANENT tablespaces in DBA_SEGMENTS and DBA_EXTENTS. For TEMPORARY tablespaces, query V$SORT_SEGMENT and V$SORT_USAGE. If you do have other segments already present in the tablespace, you would have to move them out (Export-Drop-Create_in_new_TBS-Import OR Copy-Drop-Rename) OR create another tablespace of type TEMPORARY and set that as the user's temporary tablespace CREATE TABLESPACE temp2 datafile 'adfa' TEMPORARY; ALTER USER username TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp2; Hemant K Chitale Principal DBA Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd Imma C.

I would like to know what happens in case the SORT_AREA_SIZE in not large enough to manage with sort opererations - are temporary segments still allocated on the TEMP tablespace (despite the fact that it is not TEMPORARY but PERMANET) or a temporary segment could be allocated only on a temporary tablespace?

Re: Rename a datafile
A tablespace is a logical concept. Tablespace names are available only from the Data Dictionary --- when the Database is OPEN. DataFiles are physical. DataFile names are in the ControlFile. If you want to move a datafile when the database is OPEN, you must take the Tablespace Offline and move and then rename the file. If you can afford to MOUNT but not OPEN the database, you can do an ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE old TO new. Note that in both cases you must actually move or copy the file to the new location yourself, using the OS's move or copy command before you execute the Rename in Oracle. Oracle will NOT move the file for you.

I'm in the middle of an 11.5.5 upgrade. Now, if you've done that type of thing before, you know those suckers just run forever, and if you leave it running overnight, you generally come in the next day to find that things failed overnight. Well, that's where I was. I left this sucker to run overnight, and, when I came in, sure enough, worker 4 had crapped out with a java error. I checked metalink, and it said skip it, and when you're done with 1808429 (the 11.5.5 upgrade patch), just run asfakreg.jlt manually. Fine. No big deal. I went into adctrl and everything was in a wait state except for ol number 4 which crapped out. I chose hidden option 8 (skip this thing) and the status changed to Skip restart. Great. Except it didn't. Evidently, having no response for X amount of time, all my workers stopped. Again, no big deal, just re-run adpatch and let it start where it crapped out. Well, now we run into a big deal, because it can't change the status from Skip restart to anything that will allow adpatch to start again (like, maybe, failed where it was before I fixed it). I'm thinking of going under the sheets, finding the $%^* table and updating the status myself. Anyone have any reason why that's not such a great idea? Anyone have any other sneaky ways to change the status? Anyone have a list of the hidden options that Oracle doesn't tell you about (like ol number 8 there?)? aTdHvAaNnKcSe!

Hi Jeremiah, The problem arose in the catalog upgrade script. It would never return. My diary says we let one attempt run for 36 hours. The process showed CPU usage and I/O but nothing happened. Some of the Oracle guys figured the problem was with the $fet (or whatever tables hold the extent info, I never bother with the internals of the data dictionary) having problems while being restructured. Once the tables were changed from 40K to 500M extents the upgrade took less than 2 hours. One of the suggestions I did not use was to edit sql.bsq to provide much larger extents for the table holding the extent info. Even though I do this for the SOURCE$ table I am a big fan of the KISS principle and rebuilding the tables needed to be done anyways. HTH Dave Can you elaborate on exactly what happened? 8.1.5 to 8.1.6 is just a catalog script and a binary change. What error did you encounter, and at which step in the upgrade?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 3:46 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi there - I'm trying to convince a client that multiple extents for a table will not hurt their performance. It's a PeopleSoft app, and PeopleSoft is telling them that they need to reorg any object with greater than 10 extents (even indexes). This Oracle 8.1.6. I've referenced the How to Stop Defragmenting and Start Living: The Definitive Word on Fragmentation white paper by Bhaskar Himatsingka and Juan Loaiza of Oracle. That didn't convince them. I tried to explain that Oracle reads BUFFERS and not extents, etc., but that didn't work. I'm about to open a vein. Does anybody have any references that they can point me to? (Something from PeopleSoft would be ideal, though I would be suprised if it existed.) I read a rant on somebody's web site a while back that was really good, but alas I cannot remember his name or URL. (I blame my kids for my failing memory).

Re: Recovery scenario query
If you don't have enough disk space to backup all the datafiles in one run
.
create alternate backup sets.
On Mondays, Wednesdays,Fridays : Backup the Active tablespaces
On Tuesdays, Thursdays : Backup the Inactive tablespaces
[You could break this down further if you still don't have enough disk
space.. but I
guess you get the idea].
In case you lose the Inactive tablespace on Thursday evening, you need
Tuesday night's
backups + All the Archived Redo Logs from Tuesday night onwards ---
therefore you cannot
delete Archived Logs daily (ie, when you run your Wednesday backup you
cannot delete
all the archive logs -- you must keep those from Tuesday night onwards).
[note the keep those from Tuesday night onwards means keep at least those
generated from the
point-in-time when Tuesday night's backup *BEGAN* not when it _ended_].
Normally, I wouldn't keep only the last two days archive logs. I'd
probably keep at least
a week's archive logs on-disk.
[so ... if you backup the Inactive tablespaces only once a month, you
need the archive logs --
either on disk or from tape -- going back to one month].

RE: Why metastink {or fetidstink !} ??
I am currently satisfied with MetaLink 2.0 -- I use it generally to search
for information.
I hope the upgrade with Oracle's own CRM products would not be as
non-working
as the first few maintenance releases of 11i were supposed to be.
Wonder what feedback prompted Oracle to decide upgrade (or rewrite !!)

Well soon you'll have to make up a new term because Oracle is re-writing it
and renaming it to something like eSupport and TAR's will become SR's.
Supposedly Oracle is going to use their own CRM product for support. I
asked
if we the end users will be able to rate the answers and the analysts like
other CRM software does and was told that that feature wasn't planned until
the second release of the product. :-( Still it's comforting to know that

Why metastink {or fetidstink !} ??

RE: oracle not available ???
A Cold Backup is always a Full backup --- all datafiles (and, highly recommended, all control files and redo log files). Did you shutdown the database twice but only backup 6 files each time ? How many log switches occurred between the first backup and the second ? If the transactions are still in the online redo logs, you might try a recovery.

Best mirror the two internal disks and put the RDBMS and application code there. You could also consider putting your Redo Logs --- particularly if you have a RAID-5 array, it would definitely be better to put your Redo Logs on mirrored disks seperate from the database files. How naive and honest the engineer was Hemant K Chitale Principal DBA Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd Steve McClure [EMAIL PROTECTED] 19/12/2001 10:25 AM Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well we had our meeting with the Hitachi Sales critter, and engineer. I discovered that they were trying to push a 5 disk raid array and one hot spare at us, because my IT director was really trying to squeeze them on the price of my 10 18GB disk configuration. After the sales guy and engineer went on about how their 4 separate IO paths would make our raid 5 perform as well as any mirrored pair, I got to ask a few questions. Well it turns out that their RAID performs that well with extra large database block sizes. When I pointed out that we currently have a block size of 2k(I didn't build the db), and would be rebuilding the database on the new platform with 8k blocks, he said that with a small block size like 8k you will really get the best performance out of mirrors or a 1+0. I am sure the sales guy kicked him under the table ;-). The end result is this. We will probably go with the 6 36 GB DISKS. It flat out comes down to the cost of the whole system is just a little over budget, and the drives are where the adjustment gets made. I suspect that I will have much less trouble getting a few extra disks once the system is in the building. I may also mess with things a bit and configure a 1+0 and a mirrored pair. So after that discussion, and all your helpful input I still have two questions. First what use are the two internal drives that aren't in the disk array? Someone suggested to WRT them, and I am not familiar with that term. Again I am not sure I want to mirror them, and if they aren't redundant how useful can they really be? Second. If an 8k database block size is tiny, what is a large database block size? 8k is as large as I can go without raw file systems, isn't it? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Steve McClure INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Re: Serial# changes when rolling back
One explanation I had heard for the combination of Sid+Serial# goes something like this ... say you identify a particular session to monitor ... you then decide to kill it. However, it could so happen that that user logged out between the time you decided to kill the session and the time you actually killed the session (even if you have scripted the kill command). When a user logs out, the Sid is available to the next user who logs in. Since another user might be holding the same Sid at the time you come around to kill the Sid, you might actually kill the wrong user-session. To avoid this, the next user, getting the same Sid gets a different Serial# and your kill must be on Sid+Serial# together. That still does not explain why pmon increments the Serial#, though.

Action: Retry the command with a valid session ID. In v$session, you notice that the serial# for the session keeps changing. Also, pmon may be creating a trace file that keeps growing. Solution Description It is best to let pmon roll back the changes. If you shutdown at this point, this work will still have to be done at the next startup. pmon is rolling back changes and will let the session die when it is finished. To verify that work is being done, select used_urec from v$transaction. If the value for this column keeps going down, then work is being done. When used_urec reaches zero, then the rollback will be done, and the session will die. With Oracle8, you can list dead transactions by issuing the following query: select * from x$ktuxe where ktuxecfl='DEAD'; Explanation --- pmon has control of the session and is rolling back all of the work that has been done so far.

Re: Set Time Zone
Can't , not in 8i. 9i has introduced a TIMEZONE datatype where time can be reported offset by the UTC+/- offset. You'd have to build the logic in your application to increment/decrement the sysdate, depending on the user/client location (use a lookup table for location and timezone-offset) when fetching the sysdate.

Quoting from the Oracle Applications Installation Update Notes Release 11i for Sun SPARC Solaris : This release of Oracle Applications is compatible with both Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 2.8 operating system software.

Re: buffer busy wait latch free ( cache buffer chain )
I could find bug#1467575 which relates to Parallel DML hanging on executing an ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH SHARED_POOL. However, as per the README of the 8.1.7.2 PatchSet, this *is* fixed in 8.1.7.2 Did you log a TAR with Oracle Support for this situation where you could only fix it by restarting the database ?

Our production db hangs suddenly. We couldn't even login into the db. Before aborting oracle we found a process like svrmgrl @/tmp/sql. The body includes single command 'alter system flush shared_pool'. It seems it was generated by db agent according to our job timetable in the OEM. We recently patched db up to 8.1.7.2 (Linux) in order to get rid of memory leak in the shared pool... Regards, Ed One way I can say there are bunch of patches which has to be applied on 8.1.7.2,We had nightmares out when we migrated to 8.1.7.2,There are lot of work arounds which you will have to get from oracle for library cache,cache buffer chains,ora 7445 errors etc etc etc.. We had an issue like if I give the command alter system flush shared pool the system got hung and all you can see is library cache pin and latch free waits and only option was to bring the database was bring it down.

If you are running it on Unix, you must escape the $ in v$instance.
thus, you would do
echo select * from v\$instance; | sqlplus system/manager

you can probably do something like (only in Unix):

or
save your select * from emp; to a sql file and do :

Re: simple sql problem
You can't have the SQL statements on the command line. You must put them
in
a script file (eg myscript.sql) and execute it with the @ sign.
Thus,
sqlplus -s scott/tiger @myscript[note the SPACE between the tiger and
the @].

AFAIK, 9iDataGuard in the current release is only a Physical Standby database (not logical standby database). This is similar to 8i except for the fact that, if you ensure that you do a clean failover-and-failback (ie have the controlfiles and online redo log files available) you can actually switch to and from the standby.
