Applies to:
Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version:
This problem can occur on any platform.
.

Symptoms

The following messages are reported in alert.log after 10g Release 2 is installed.

Memory Notification: Library Cache Object loaded into SGA

Heap size 2294K exceeds notification threshold (2048K)

Changes

Installed / Upgraded to 10g Release 2

Cause

These are warning messages that should not cause the program responsible for these
errors to fail. They appear as a result of new event messaging mechanism and memory
manager in 10g Release 2.

The meaning is that the process is just spending a lot of time in finding free memory
extents during an allocate as the memory may be heavily fragmented. Fragmentation in
memory is impossible to eliminate completely, however, continued messages of large
allocations in memory indicate there are tuning opportunities on the application.
The messages do not imply that an ORA-4031 is about to happen.

Solution

In 10g we have a new undocumented parameter that sets the KGL heap size warning
threshold. This parameter was not present in 10gR1. Warnings are written if heap size
exceeds this threshold.

Set _kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold to a reasonable high value or zero to prevent

these warning messages. Value needs to be set in bytes.

If you want to set this to 8192 (8192 * 1024) and are using an spfile:

(logged in as "/ as sysdba")

SQL> alter system set "_kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold"=8388608 scope=spfile ;

SQL> shutdown immediate SQL> startup

SQL> show parameter _kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold

NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
_kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold integer 8388608

If using an "old-style" init parameter,

Edit the init parameter file and add

_kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold=8388608

NOTE: The default threshold in 10.2.0.1 is 2M. So these messages could show up
frequently in some application environments.

In 10.2.0.2, the threshold was increased to 50MB after regression tests, so this should be
a reasonable and recommended value. If you continue to see the these warning messages
in the alert log after applying 10.2.0.2 or higher, an SR may be in order to investigate if
you are encountering a bug in the Shared Pool.

ORA-04020 on startup of database

I’m attempting to set up multi-master replication. I ran catalog.sql as sys as

suggested in Note:122039.1. The below error occurred when running
catalog.sql. I now cannot connect to the database using enterprise manager or
a web application. I can only connect via sqlplus. I have restarted the database
several times and each time I startup the below error occurs. I have tried
running utlrp.sql and receive the same error.

Try the following:

1. Set parameters in your updated initSID.ora (create from spfile):
AQ_TM_PROCESSES=0
_SYSTEM_TRIG_ENABLED=FALSE

2. Rename spfile, shutdown and STARTUP MIGRATE

3. Run catalog.sql again
4. Comment parameters added in step 1
5. Rename back your spfile
6. Shutdown and STARTUP normal

ORA-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection

Your server is probably running out of memory and need to swap memory to disk.
One cause can be an Oracle process consuming too much memory.

A possible workaround is to set following parameter in the listener.ora and restart the listener:
DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF

Should you be working with Multi threaded server connections, you might need to increase the
value of large_pool_size.

DROP THE DATABASE

The following shows the steps to drop a database in Unix enviroment. In order to delete a
database, there are few things need to be taken care of. First, all the database related files
eg *.dbf, *.ctl, *.rdo, *.arc need to be deleted. Then, the entry in listener.ora and
tnsnames.ora need to be removed. Third, all the database links need to be removed since
it will be invalid anyways.

It depends how you login to oracle account in Unix, you should have environment set for
the user oracle. To confirm that the environment variable is set, do a env|grep ORACLE
and you will notice that your ORACLE_SID=SOME_SID and
ORACLE_HOME=SOME_PATH. If you do not already have the ORACLE_SID and
ORACLE_HOME set, do it now.

Make sure also, that you set the ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME correct else you
will end up deleting other database. Next, you will have to query all the database related
files from dictionaries in order to identify which files to delete. Do the following:

01. Login as connect / as sysdba at svrmgrl

02. startup the database if it's not already started. The database must at least mounted.
03. spool /tmp/deletelist.lst
04. select name from v$datafile; (This will get all the datafiles; alternatively, you can
select file_name from dba_data_files)
05. select member from v$logfile;
06. select name from v$controlfile;
07. archive log list (archive_log_dest is where the archived destination is)
08. locating ifile by issuing show parameter ifile (alternatively, check the content of
init.ora)
09. spool off
10. Delete in O/S level the files listed in /tmp/deletelist.lst
11. remove all the entries which refer to the deleted database in tnsnames.ora and
listener.ora (located in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin)
12. remove all database links referring to the deleted database.
13. check "/var/opt/oracle/oratab" to make sure there is no entry of the database deleted.
If yes, remove it.

IMP UTILITY

connected to ORACLE

The errors occur on Oracle database installed in Windows machine too. Actually the
problem can occurs in any platform of Oracle database. It usually happens when try to
import into new database.

The problem occurs because imp utiliy encounters error out when trying to execute some
commands.

The solution to solve the problem is as following:

Login as sys in the SQLPLUS and run the following sqls

$OH/rdbms/admin/dbmsread.sql
$OH/rdbms/admin/prvtread.plb

After executing the above sql scripts, retry the import. The error should disappears.

Guidelines for Using Partition-Level Import

Partition-level Import can only be specified in table mode. It lets you selectively load
data from specified partitions or subpartitions in an export file. Keep the following
guidelines in mind when using partition-level import.

• Import always stores the rows according to the partitioning scheme of the target
table.
• Partition-level Import inserts only the row data from the specified source
partitions or subpartitions.
• If the target table is partitioned, partition-level Import rejects any rows that fall
above the highest partition of the target table.
• Partition-level Import cannot import a nonpartitioned exported table. However, a
partitioned table can be imported from a nonpartitioned exported table using
table-level Import.
• Partition-level Import is legal only if the source table (that is, the table called
tablename at export time) was partitioned and exists in the Export file.
• If the partition or subpartition name is not a valid partition in the export file,
Import generates a warning.
• The partition or subpartition name in the parameter refers to only the partition or
subpartition in the Export file, which may not contain all of the data of the table
on the export source system.
• If ROWS=y (default), and the table does not exist in the Import target system, the
table is created and all rows from the source partition or subpartition are inserted
into the partition or subpartition of the target table.
• If ROWS=y (default) and IGNORE=y, but the table already existed before Import, all
rows for the specified partition or subpartition in the table are inserted into the
table. The rows are stored according to the existing partitioning scheme of the
target table.
• If ROWS=n, Import does not insert data into the target table and continues to
process other objects associated with the specified table and partition or
subpartition in the file.
 • If the target table is nonpartitioned, the partitions and subpartitions are imported
into the entire table. Import requires IGNORE=y to import one or more partitions or
subpartitions from the Export file into a nonpartitioned table on the import target
system.

If default temporary tablespace is wrong the alter it with the following command:

SQL> alter database default temporary tablespace temp;

To check default temporary tablespace for all users of the database:

SQL> select username, temporary_tablespace, account_status from dba_users;

will return the following result, check if all users TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE is set to
correct settings:

USERNAME TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE ACCOUNT_STATUS

—————————— —————————— ——————————–
SYS TEMPRY OPEN
SYSTEM TEMP OPEN
OUTLN TEMP OPEN
DBSNMP TEMP OPEN
DBMONITOR TEMP OPEN
TEST TEMP OPEN
WMSYS TEMP EXPIRED & LOCKED

If wrong temporary tablespace is found, alter it with the correct tablespace name (for
example, sys) with the following SQL:

SQL> alter user sys temporary tablespace temp;

Alternatively, recreate or add a datafile to your temporary tablespace and change the
default temporary tablespace for your database;

SQL> drop tablespace temp including contents and datafiles;

SQL> create temporary tablespace temp tempfile ‘/db/temp01.dbf’ size 100m autoextend
off extent management local uniform size 1m;

SQL> alter database default temporary tablespace temp;

HOW TO DISABLE CONSTAINT

alter table PPM_PROD.PPM_SAMPLE_HH_CHRSTCS disable constraint SHC_S_FK;

Hi,
Files that have a .DJF extension contain the predefined redo logs and datafiles for seed
templates in DBCA.If you delete them you wont be able to use those db creation
templates in future.

This is most likely a bug. I would recommend to apply patchset 9.2.0.7.

As oracle recommends at least 9.2.0.3 versiyon. Anyway you can try
below fix.

Change the listener and database services Log On user to domain user
who is a member of the groups domain admin and ORA_DBA group.
The default setting is Local System Account.

- Run regedit
- Drill down to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
- Locate and delete the OracleOraHome92TNSListener (or whatever the
listener
name is)
- Reboot the entire Windows box
- When started and logged on as the Oracle user, go to a DOS /
Command prompt
- Run 'lsnrctl start <listener_name>' without the single quotes and
replacing
<listener_name> with the name.
- An OS error of 1060 will be seen (normal) as the service is missing.
- The listener should start correctly, or the next logical error may
display.

By the way can you explain backward of the problem? Did you do any
upgrade? May you use double oracle_home?

My problem:
When I don't use tnsnames and want to use ipc protocol then I get the following
error.
SQL> connect myuserid/mypassword
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27121: unable to determine size of shared memory segment
SVR4 Error: 13: Permission denied

Answer to your problem:

=======================
Make sure file 'oracle' has the following permissions:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
6751

If not...
1. Login as oracle user
2. Shutdown (normal) the db
3. Go to $ORACLE_HOME/bin
4. Execute the following
chmod 6751 oracle
5. Check the file permissions on oracle using the following
ls -l oracle

they should be:

-rwsr-s--x

Startup the db and try connecting as dba or non-oracle user.

if this will not work:

- make sure permisions on oracle filesystems are set correctly ( set to 755)
- filesystem must be mounted with correct setuid

HP-UX Cron tab

NAME

crontab - user crontab file

SYNOPSIS
 crontab [file]

crontab -r

crontab -l

DESCRIPTION

crontab copies the specified file, or standard input if no file

is

specified, into a directory that holds all users' crontab files

(see

cron(1M)). The -r option removes a user's crontab from the

crontab

directory. crontab -l lists the crontab file for the invoking

user.

Users are permitted to use crontab if their names appear in the

file

/usr/lib/cron/cron.allow. If that file does not exist, the

file

/usr/lib/cron/cron.deny is checked to determine if the user

should be

denied access to crontab. If neither file exists, only root is

allowed to submit a job. If only cron.deny exists and is

empty,

global usage is permitted. The allow/deny files consist of one

user

name per line.

A crontab file consists of lines of six fields each. The

fields are

separated by spaces or tabs. The first five are integer

patterns that

specify the following:

minute (0-59),

hour (0-23),
 day of the month (1-31),

month of the year (1-12),

day of the week (0-6 with 0=Sunday).

select s.machine from v$process p,v$session s where s.paddr=p.addr and spid=17143;

The Oracle Management Agent (OMA) is part of the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid
Control software. OMA is an operating system process that, when deployed on each
monitored host, is responsible for monitoring all targets on the host and communicating
their status to the Oracle Management Server (OMS), which stores it in the Oracle
Management Repository (OMR).

Oracle Tips

Locating and deleting unused indexes in Oracle9i

One of the most serious causes of poor DML performance is the

existence of unused indexes. All SQL inserts, updates and delete will
run slower if they have to update a large number of indexes each time
a row in a table is changed.

Sadly, many Oracle professionals will allocate indexes whenever they

see a column that is referenced in the WHERE clause of an SQL query.
While this approach makes SQL run fast, function-based Oracle
indexes make it possible to over-allocate indexes on table columns.
This over-allocation of indexes can cripple the performance of loads on
critical Oracle tables.

Until Oracle9i, there was no way to identify those indexes that were
not being used by SQL queries. This tip describes the Oracle9i method
that allows the DBA to locate and delete un-used indexes.

The approach is quite simple. Oracle9i has a tool that allows you to
monitor index usage with an alter index command. You can then
query and find those indexes that are unused and drop them from the
database.

Here is a script that will turn on monitoring of usage for all indexes in
a system:
set pages 999;
set heading off;

spool run_monitor.sql

select
'alter index '||owner||'.'||index_name||' monitoring usage;'
from
dba_indexes
where
owner not in ('SYS','SYSTEM','PERFSTAT')
;

spool off;

@run_monitor

Next, we wait until a significant amount of SQL has executed on our

database, and then query the new v$object_usage view:

select
index_name,
table_name,
used
from
v$object_usage;

Here we see that v$object_usage has a single column called used,

which will be set to YES or NO. Sadly, this will not tell you how many
times the index has been used, but this tool is useful for investigating
unused indexes.

INDEX_NAME TABLE_NAME MON USED

ALTER DATABASE RECOVER (Complete recovery only. Any form of incomplete

Includes the RESTRICTED SESSION privilege.

Changing the Character Set After Database Creation

In some cases, you may wish to change the existing database character set. For instance,
you may find that the number of languages that need to be supported in your database
have increased. In most cases, you will need to do a full export/import to properly
convert all data to the new character set. However, if and only if, the new character set is
a strict superset of the current character set, it is possible to use the ALTER DATABASE
CHARACTER SET to expedite the change in the database character set.

The target character set is a strict superset if and only if each and every codepoint in the
source character set is available in the target character set, with the same corresponding
codepoint value. For instance the following migration scenarios can take advantage of the
ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET command since US7ASCII is a strict subset of
WE8ISO8859P1, AL24UTFFSS, and UTF8:

Current Character Set New Character Set

New Character Set is strict superset?
US7ASCII WE8ISO8859P1
yes US7ASCII
ALT24UTFFSS yes
US7ASCII
UTF8
yes

WARNING: Attempting to change the database character set to a character set that is not
a strict superset can result in data loss and data corruption. To ensure data integrity,
whenever migrating to a new character set that is not a strict superset, you must use
export/import. It is essential to do a full backup of the database before using the ALTER
DATABASE [NATIONAL] CHARACTER SET statement, since the command cannot be
rolled back. The syntax is:

ALTER DATABASE [] CHARACTER SET ;

ALTER DATABASE [] NATIONAL CHARACTER SET
;
The database name is optional. The character set name should be specified without
quotes, for example:

ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1;

To change the database character set, perform the following steps. Not all of them are
absolutely necessary, but they are highly recommended:

SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE; -- or NORMAL

SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICED SESSION;
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES=0;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET ;
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE; -- or NORMAL
SQL> STARTUP;

To change the national character set, replace the ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER
SET statement with ALTER DATABASE NATIONAL CHARACTER SET. You can
issue both commands together if desired
bash-3.00# zfs create datapool1/dbbackups
bash-3.00# zfs set mountpoint=/dbbackups datapool/dbbackups
bash-3.00# zfs set quota=10G datapool/dbbackups

Oracle Managed Files (OMF)

OMF simplifies the creation of databases as Oracle does all OS operations and file naming. It has
several advantages including:

• Automatic cleanup of the filesystem when database objects are dropped.

• Standardized naming of database files.
• Increased portability since file specifications are not needed.
• Simplified creation of test systems on differing operating systems.
• No unused files wasting disk space.

The location of database files is defined using the DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST parameter. If it is

defined on its own all files are placed in the same location. If the
DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n parameter is defined alternate locations and levels of
multiplexing can be defined for Logfiles. These parameters are dymanic and can be changed
using the ALTER SYSTEM statement:
ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST='C:\Oracle\Oradata\TSH1';

Files typically have a default size of 100M and are named using the following formats where u%
is a unique 8 digit code, g% is the logfile group number, and %t is the tablespace name:

File Type Format

Controlfiles ora_%u.ctl
Redo Log Files ora_%g_%u.log
Datafiles ora_%t_%u.dbf
Temporary Datafiles ora_%t_%u.tmp
 • Managing Controlfiles Using OMF
• Managing Redo Log Files Using OMF
• Managing Tablespaces Using OMF
• Default Temporary Tablespace

Managing Controlfiles Using OMF

During database creation the controlfile names are not specified. Instead, a controlfile is created
for each DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n specified in the init.ora file. Once the database
creation is complete the CONTROL_FILES parameter can be set in the init.ora file using the
generated names shown in the V$CONTROLFILE view.

Managing Redo Log Files Using OMF

When using OMF for redo logs the DB_CREAT_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n parameters in the init.ora
file decide on the locations and numbers of logfile members. For exmple:
DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_1 = c:\Oracle\Oradata\TSH1

DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_2 = d:\Oracle\Oradata\TSH1

The above parameters mean two members will be created for the logfile group in the specified
locations when the ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE; statement is issued. Oracle will name
the file and increment the group number if they are not specified.

The ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 3; statement will remove the group and it
members from the database and delete the files at operating system level.

Managing Tablespaces Using OMF

As shown previously the DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST parameter in the init.ora file specifies the
location of the datafiles for OMF tablespaces. Since the file location is specified and Oracle will
name the file, new tablespaces can be created using the following statement:
CREATE TABLESPACE tsh_data;

The resultant datafiles will have a default size of 100M and AUTOEXTEND UNLIMITED. For a
specific size file use:
CREATE TABLESPACE tsh_data DATAFILE SIZE 150M;

To add a datafile to a tablespace use:

ALTER TABLESPACE tsh_data ADD DATAFILE;

If a tablespace is dropped, Oracle will remove the OS files also. For tablespaces not using the
OMF feature this cleanup can be performed by issuing the statement:
DROP TABLESPACE tsh_data INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;

Default Temporary Tablespace

In previous releases, if you forgot to assign a temporary tablespace to a user the SYSTEM
tablespace was used. This can cause contention and is considered bad practice. To prevent this
9i gives you the ability to assign a default temporary tablespace. If a temporary tablespace is not
explicitly assigned the user is assigned to this tablespace.
A default temporary tablespace can be created during database creation or assigned afterwards:
CREATE DATABASE TSH1

....

DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE dts1

TEMPFILE 'c:\Oracle\Oradata\dts_1.f' SIZE 20M

EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 1M;

-- or

ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE dts2;

A default temporary tablespace cannot be taken offline until a new default temporary tablespace
is brought online.

Hope this helps. Regards Tim...

Oracle9i's Auto Segment Space Management Option

James F. Koopmann(Database Expert) Posted 1/12/2006
Comments (3) | Trackbacks (0)

Oracle has done it again. Venture with me down what seems like a small option but in fact has
major implications on what we, as DBAs no longer have to manage.

The world of database performance and tuning is changing very fast. Every time I look at new
features, it convinces me more and more that databases are becoming auto-tunable and self-
healing. We could argue for quite awhile that DBAs will or will not become obsolete in the
future, but I think our current nitch is the acceptance of new technology and our ability to
empower the companies we work for by using it. With Oracle9i, Oracle has given a peek into
the future of where it is going when tuning, not only the database but applications as well. The
little gem that Oracle has snuck in is Its' new automated segment space management option.
What Is It

If you haven't read the manuals yet, please do. You will quickly realize that Oracle is pushing us
to use locally managed tablespaces. Because all the information to manage segments and
blocks is kept in bitmaps in locally managed tablespaces, the access to the data dictionary is
relieved. Not only does this not generate redo, contention is reduce. Along with the push to
locally managed tablespaces, is the push to use automatic segment space management. This
option takes total control of the parameters FREELISTS, FREELIST GROUPS, and PCTUSED. That
means that Oracle will track and manage the used and free space in datablocks using bitmaps
for all objects defined in the tablespace for which it has been defined.
How It Use to Be

In the olden days, everything was dictionary-managed tablespaces. How objects were being
used within tablespaces made setting FREELIST, FREELIST GROUPS, and PCTUSED an ordeal.
Typically, you would sit down and look at the type of DML that was going to be executed, the
number of users executing the DML, the size of rows in tables, and how the data would grow
over time. You would then come up with an idea of how to set FREELIST, PCTUSED, and
PCTFREE in order to get the best usage of space when weighed against performance of DML. If
you didn't know what you were doing or even if you did, you constantly had to monitor
contention and space to verify and plan your next attempt. Let's spend a bit of time getting
accustomed to these parameters.
FREELIST

This is a list of blocks kept in the segment header that may be used for new rows being
inserted into a table. When an insert is being done, Oracle gets the next block on the freelist
and uses it for the insert. When multiple inserts are requested from multiple processes, there
is the potential for a high level of contention since the multiple processes will be getting the
same block from the freelist, until it is full, and inserting into it. Depending on how much
contention you can live with, you need to determine how many freelists you need so that the
multiple processes can access their own freelist.
PCTUSED

This is a storage parameter that states when a certain percentage of a block begin used falls
below PCTUSED, that block should be placed back on the freelist for available inserts. The
issue with using a value for PCTUSED was that you had to balance the need for performance, a
low PCTUSED to keep blocks off the freelist, against a high PCTUSED to keep space usage under
control.
FREELIST GROUPS

Basically used for multiple instances to access an object. This setting can also be used to move
the freelists to other blocks beside the segment header and thus give some relief to segment
header contention.
Why Is Auto Segment Space Management Good

I have come up with a short list of reasons why you might want to switch to auto segment
space management. I truly think you can find something that you will like.

* No worries
* No wasted time searching for problems that don't exist.
* No planning needed for storage parameters
* Out of the box performance for created objects
* No need to monitor levels of insert/update/delete rates
* Improvement in space utilization
* Better performance than most can tune or plan for with concurrent access to objects
* Avoidance of data fragmentation
* Minimal data dictionary access
* Better indicator of the state of a data block
* Further more, the method that Oracle uses to keep track of the availability of free space in a
block is much more granular than the singular nature of the old, on the freelist or off the
freelist scenario.

Create a Tablespace for Auto Segment Space Management

Creating a tablespace for Auto Segment Space Management is quite simple. Include the
statement at the end of the CREATE TABLESPACE statement. Here is an example.

CREATE TABLESPACE no_space_worries_ts

DATAFILE '/oradata/mysid/datafiles/nospaceworries01.dbf' SIZE 100M
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;

The AUTO keyword tells Oracle to use bitmaps for managing space for segments.
Check What You Have Defined

To determine your current tablespace definition, query the data dictionary.

select tablespace_name,
contents,
extent_management,
allocation_type,
segment_space_management
from dba_tablespaces;

How Do You Switch To Auto Segment Space Management

Realize that you can't change the method of segment space management by an ALTER
statement. You must create a new permanent, locally managed tablespace and state auto
segment space management and then migrate the objects.
Optional Procedures

Oracle has a package called DBMS_REPAIR that contains a procedure called

SEGMENT_FIX_STATUS that will allow you to fix corruption of the bitmap states. This procedure
will recalculate the bitmap states based on either block contents or a specified value.

The package DBMS_SPACE contains a procedure called SPACE_USAGE that gives information
about how space is being used within blocks under the segment high water mark.
Let Oracle Take Over

Maybe it's my old age or years of doing the mundane tasks as a DBA that wants to embrace this
feature. If there is one thing I have learned from using Oracle databases, it's that Oracle has
gotten a ton better at making sure new features work and are geared at truly making database
performance better. Here is just one instance where I think we can embrace Oracles' attempt
to take over a mundane task that is has been prone to error in the wrong hands. After all, it
isn't rocket science when you get down to it and will probably be gone in the next release
anyway.

Auditing
The auditing mechanism for Oracle is extremely flexible so I'll only discuss performing full auditing
on a single user:

• Server Setup
 • Audit Options
• View Audit Trail
• Maintenence
• Security

Server Setup
To allow auditing on the server you must:

• Set "audit_trail = true" in the init.ora file.

• Run the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/cataudit.sql script while connected as SYS.

Audit Options
Assuming that the "fireid" user is to be audited:
CONNECT sys/password AS SYSDBA

AUDIT ALL BY fireid BY ACCESS;

AUDIT SELECT TABLE, UPDATE TABLE, INSERT TABLE, DELETE TABLE BY

fireid BY ACCESS;

AUDIT EXECUTE PROCEDURE BY fireid BY ACCESS;

These options audit all DDL & DML issued by "fireid", along with some system events.

• DDL (CREATE, ALTER & DROP of objects)

• DML (INSERT UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT, EXECUTE).
• SYSTEM EVENTS (LOGON, LOGOFF etc.)

View Audit Trail

The audit trail is stored in the SYS.AUD$ table. It's contents can be viewed directly or via the
following views:

• DBA_AUDIT_EXISTS
• DBA_AUDIT_OBJECT
• DBA_AUDIT_SESSION
• DBA_AUDIT_STATEMENT
• DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL
• DBA_OBJ_AUDIT_OPTS
• DBA_PRIV_AUDIT_OPTS
• DBA_STMT_AUDIT_OPTS

The audit trail contains alot of data, but the following are most likely to be of interest:

• Username : Oracle Username.

• Terminal : Machine that the user performed the action from.
• Timestamp : When the action occured.
• Object Owner : The owner of the object that was interacted with.
 • Object Name : The name of the object that was interacted with.
• Action Name : The action that occured against the object. (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE,
SELECT, EXECUTE)

Maintenance
The audit trail must be deleted/archived on a regular basis to prevent the SYS.AUD$ table
growing to an unnacceptable size.

Security
Only DBAs should have maintenance access to the audit trail. If SELECT access is required by
any applications this can be granted to any users, or alternatively a specific user may be created
for this.

Auditing modifications of the data in the audit trail itself can be achieved as follows:
AUDIT INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON sys.aud$ BY ACCESS;

exec trca$i.trace_analyzer('<raw trace filename on udump directory>');

General Information
Note: Trace Analyzer is a little known tool downloadable from Oracle that is an improvement and substitute
for TKPROF for analyzing trace files.
MetaLink Note 224270.1
Download Trace
Analyzer
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_gui.startup
 Read the instructions in INSTRUCTIONS.TXT to install the product.

As the instructions are not the clearest the following is what I did to
install TraceAnalyzer so that it would be owned by the SYSTEM schema
1. Created a directory named INSTALL
2. Unzipped TRCA.zip into the INSTALL
directory
3. Created a directory under $ORACLE_HOME
named TraceAnalyzer
4. Moved the .sql files from the INSTALL to
the TraceAnalyzer directory
5. Logged onto Oracle as SYS

conn / as sysdba

6. Performed the following grants to SYSTEM

GRANT SELECT ON dba_indexes TO

<schema_name>;
GRANT SELECT ON dba_ind_columns TO
<schema_name>;
Install Trace Analyzer GRANT SELECT ON dba_objects TO
<schema_name>;
GRANT SELECT ON dba_tables TO <schema_name>;
GRANT SELECT ON dba_temp_files TO
<schema_name>;
GRANT SELECT ON dba_users TO <schema_name>;
GRANT SELECT ON v_$instance TO <schema_name>;
GRANT SELECT ON v_$latchname TO
<schema_name>;
GRANT SELECT ON v_$parameter TO
<schema_name>;

7. Connected to Oracle as SYSTEM

8. Ran the installation script TRCACREA.sql

If any error occur recompile the package

TRCA$ and correct errors.
They will most likely be caused by
permissions granted through
roles by SYS rather than being granted
explicitly as required.
Running Trace Analyzer
Assuming the name of the trace file is orabase_ora_1708.trc and that the
trace file is located at /oracle/admin/orabase/udump
CONN system/<password>

ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 trace name

context forever, level 12';

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM dba_tables t, dba_indexes i
WHERE t.table_name = i.table_name;

ALTER SESSION SET sql_trace = FALSE;

Log onto an operating system session and

navigate to the TraceAnalyzer directory:

c:> cd oracle\ora92\TraceAnalyzer
Run TraceAnalyzer
Start SQL*Plus

c:\oracle\ora92\TraceAnalzyer> sqlplus
system/<pwd>@<service_name>

Run Trace Analysis

@TRCANLZR.sql UDUMP orabase_ora_1708.trc

Exit SQL*Plus

The trace analysis will be located in the

TraceAnalyzer directory
with the name TRCANLZR_orabase_ora_1708.LOG.

Run TKPROF on the same trace file for

comparison.

LGWR & DBWR

===========
These two processes are more I/O bound, but when the O.S. needs patches or is
misbehaving, then they
"spin" (wait) until the I/O operation to complete. The spinning is a CPU operation.
Slowness or Failures in the Async I/O operations show themselves like this. You
control the dbwr by setting either the db_writer_processes or dbwr_io_slaves
parameter in your parameter file. You should generally set the
db_writer_processes to a value less than or equal to the number of cpu's you
have on your server. Setting this parameter lower or to it's default value of 1
when you are experiencing CPU spikes may help prevent CPU performance
problems from occurring. If setting this parameter lower does help the contention
on your processors, but you take an overall performance hit after lowering this
parameter, you may need to add additional CPU to your server before increasing
this parameter back to the way that you had it. In addition, having async i/o
enabled with different combinations of these parameters can also cause
performance problems and CPU spikes. See the following note for more
information about db_writer_process and dbwr_io_slaves and how they relate to
async I/O:

- <Note.97291.1> DB_WRITER_PROCESSES or DBWR_IO_SLAVES?

If LGWR appears to be intermittently taking up 100% CPU, you may be hitting

the issue discussed in the following bug:

- <Bug:2656965> LGWR SPINS AND CONSUMES ALL CPU AND INSTANCE

HANGS

The workaround to prevent lgwr from spinning is to set the following hidden
parameter in your parameter file:

_lgwr_async_io=false

This parameter turns of async i/o for lgwr but leaves it intact for the rest of the
database server.

Jobs also known as SNPn

=======================
The snp processes do the automatic refresh of materialized views (snapshots)
which
can be very CPU consuming. It is best to see what job is being executed in
DBA_JOBS_RUNNING
when the CPU utilization is on the raise. Even on their own, they consume a fair
amount of CPU because
they are in a infinite loop querying the job queue. Some system statistics can be
very distorted when they are enabled.

<Bug:1286684> CPU_USED_BY_THIS_SESSION IS FALSE WHEN

JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES IS SET

If you plan to use resource manager in 8.1.7:

<bug:1319202> RESOURCE MANAGER PLAN DOES NOT WORK FOR THE
JOB MECHANYSM

Advance Queuing also known as AQ, QMN

======================================
The AQ processes send and receive messages mostly through tables. If they are
using too much
CPU is because of the queries over those tables or some bug.
<Bug:1462218> QMN PROCESSES QUERYING DEF$_AQCALL USING LARGE
AMOUNTS OF CPU when combined
with replication.

@ <Bug:1559103> QMN PROCESS USES A LOT OF CPU CYCLES

The best is to keep the version and patches up to date.

An oracle (user) process (Back)

-----------------------------------------

Large Queries, Procedure compilation or execution, Space management and

Sorting are examples of operations with very high CPU usage. Besides the UNIX
or NT way to find a CPU intensive process Oracle has its own statistics. The
statistic is calculated by requesting
the CPU clock at different time intervals of Oracle processing and incrementing
the statistic# with the difference:

1 select name from v$statname

2* where statistic#=12
SQL> /

NAME
---------------------------------
CPU used by this session

"CPU used by this session" statistic is given in 1/100ths of a second. Eg: a value
of 22 mean 0.22 seconds in 8i.

Other statistics can be found via CONSUMED_CPU_TIME Of view

V$RSRC_CONSUMER_GROUP
in Oracle9i. It differ a little bit from the CPU used by this session.
(see <Note:215848.1>)
Also, do not confuse this time with the timing done in the sql_trace (10046 event)
since some of those timings are in microseconds.
(see <Note:39817.1>)

The Following Query can give a good idea of what the session is doing and how
much
CPU they have consumed:

select ss.sid,se.command,ss.value CPU ,se.username,se.program

from v$sesstat ss, v$session se
where ss.statistic# in
(select statistic#
from v$statname
where name = 'CPU used by this session')
and se.sid=ss.sid
and ss.sid>6
order by ss.sid
/

For the values of command please look at the definition of V$session in the
reference manual.

To find out what sql the problem session(s) are executing, run the following
query:

select s.sid, event, wait_time, w.seq#, q.sql_text

from v$session_wait w, v$session s, v$process p, v$sqlarea q
where s.paddr=p.addr and
s.sid=&p and
s.sql_address=q.address;

To check if your Oracle Binary is 32 bit or 64 bit

SELECT Length(addr)*4 || '-bits' word_length FROM v$process WHERE ROWNUM =1;

Cause

­­­­­

This Windows bug causes a change in behavior when HTTP POST requests 
are

resubmitted, which can occur when the HTTP server terminates the 
browser

clients open connections that exceeded their allowed HTTP 1.1 
"KeepAlive" 

idle time. In these cases the requests are resubmitted by the browser 
without 

the needed HTTP headers.

Fix

­­­

It is possible to address this issue by applying Microsoft patches to

the client systems where the browser is running.

As a more viable workaround it should be possible to disable the 
KeepAlive

timeout by restarting the HTTP Server component after making the 
following
configuration changes to httpd.conf

 Unix:    $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf

 Windows: %ORACLE_HOME%\Apache\Apache\conf\httpd.conf

1. Locate the KeepAlive directive in httpd.conf

   KeepAlive On

2. Replace the KeepAlive directive in httpd.conf with

   # vvv Oracle Note 269980.1 vvvvvvv

   # KeepAlive On

   KeepAlive Off

   # ^^^ Oracle Note 269980.1 ^^^^^^^

3. If you are making this change manually, please run following

Please tell me how can I solve this. QUESTION POSED ON: 23 SEP 2004
QUESTION ANSWERED BY: Brian Peasland

First, verify that this package exists with the following query:

SELECT status,object_id,object_type,owner,object_name

FROM dba_objects
SELECT object_name, object_type, status
FROM user_objects WHERE object_type LIKE 'JAVA%';
offline
NORMAL
performs a checkpoint for all data files in the
tablespace. All of these data files must be online.
You need not perform media recovery on this
tablespace before bringing it back online. You must
use this option if the database is in noarchivelog
mode.
TEMPORARY
performs a checkpoint for all online data files in
the tablespace but does not ensure that all files can
be written. Any offline files may require media
recovery before you bring the tablespace back online.
IMMEDIATE
does not ensure that tablespace files are available
and does not perform a checkpoint. You must perform
media recovery on the tablespace before bringing it
back online.

OUTLN user is responsible for maintaining the stability between the plans for your queries with
stored outlines.

DBSNMP user is the one responsible to maintain the performance stats from enterprise
manager. even you can do this as SYS user.however connecting to the database as SYS user is
not recommended by oracle.

From documentation:
/*
OPEN_CURSORS specifies the maximum number of open cursors
(handles to private SQL areas) a session can have at once. You can use
this parameter to prevent a session from opening an excessive number
of cursors.
It is important to set the value of OPEN_CURSORS high enough to
prevent your application from running out of open cursors. The number
will vary from one application to another. Assuming that a session does
not open the number of cursors specified by OPEN_CURSORS, there is
no added overhead to setting this value higher than actually needed.

> how to resolve this if no. of open cursor exeeds then value given in
init.ora

The error is caused, in the vast majority of cases, by application

code leaking cursors.

I.e. application code defining ref cursors, using ref cursors.. but never
closing ref cursors.

I've in fact never see this not to be the case.

The WORSE thing you can do is increase that parameter as that

simply moves the wall a few metres further away... allowing yourself
to run even faster into faster it.

The following SQL identifies SQL cursors with multiple cursor handles
for that SQL by the same session. It is unusual for an application to
have more than 2 or so cursor handles opened for the very same
SQL. Typically one will see a "cursor leaking" application with 100's of
open cursor handles for the very same SQL.

select
c.sid,
c.address,
c.hash_value,
COUNT(*) as "Cursor Copies"
from v$open_cursor c
group by
c.sid,
c.address,
c.hash_value
having
COUNT(*) > 2
order by
3 DESC

Once the application has been identified using V$SESSION, you can
use V$SQLTEXT to identify the actual SQL statement of which the
app creates so many handles.. and then trace and fix the problem in
the application.

for performance tuning,

you may first start checking the following views/tables

DBA_WAITERS
V$SESSION_LONGOPS
v$system_waits & v$system_events

if you have statspack report generated then you can have a look at the timed events.
 This is what I could find out from otn and through google.

Apparantly sqlnet.ora (also known as Profile) is a configuration file and contains the
parameters that specify preferences for how a client or server uses Net8 (oracle's network
services funcionality) features. The file is located in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin on UNIX
and ORACLE_HOME\network\admin on Windows.

A little about Net8: : Net8 establishes network sessions and transfers data between a client
machine and a server or between two servers. It is located on each machine in the network
and once a network session is established, Net8 acts as a data courier for the client and the
server.

Some other configuration files used by Net8 are :

1) Local Naming Configuration File (TNSNAMES.ORA)

2) Listener Configuration File (LISTENER.ORA)

3) Oracle Names Server Configuration File (NAMES.ORA) : The Oracle Names server
configuration file (NAMES.ORA) contains the parameters that specify the location, domain
information, and optional configuration parameters for each Oracle Names server. NAMES.ORA
is located in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin on UNIX and ORACLE_HOME\network\admin on
Windows NT.

4) Oracle Connection Manager Configuration File (CMAN.ORA) : The Connection Manager

configuration file (CMAN.ORA) contains the parameters that specify preferences for using
Oracle Connection Manager. CMAN.ORA is located at $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin on UNIX
and ORACLE_HOME\network\admin on Windows NT.

A symbolic link is a pointer to another file or directory. It can be

used just like the original file or directory. A symbolic link appears
in a long listing (ls -l) with a reference to the original file/directory.
A symbolic link, as opposed to a hard link, is required when linking
from one filesystem to another and can be used within a filesystem
as well.
To create a symbolic link, the syntax of the command is similar to a copy or move command:
existing file first, destination file second. For example, to link the directory
/export/space/common/archive to /archive for easy access, use:

ln -s /export/space/common/archive /archive

A hard link is a reference to a file or directory that appears just like

a file or directory, not a link. Hard links only work within a
filesystem. In other words, don't use hard links between mounted
filesystems. A hard link is only a reference to the original file, not a
copy of the file. If the original file is deleted, the information will be
lost.user
To create a hard link of the file /export/home/fred/stuff to /var/tmp/thing, use:

ln /export/home/fred/stuff /var/tmp/thing

The syntax for creating a hard link of a directory is the same. To create a hard link of
/var/www/html to /var/www/webroot, use:

ln /var/www/html /var/www/webroot
select ' alter ' || segment_type,segment_name || ' move tablespace xyz' from dba_segments
where tablespace_name='RAKESH';

>spool off

result of the query will stores in the spool file objects_move.log

>@<urpath>\objects_move.log

Now check the objects in xyz tablespace

SELECT SEGMENT_NAME FROM DBA_SEGMENTS WHERE tablespace_name='XYZ' ;

rebuild the indexes

and gather statistics for those objects

if u want to move all the objects to another tablesapce just do the following....

>spool <urpath>\objects_move.log

> select ' alter ' || segment_type,segment_name || ' move tablespace xyz' from
dba_segments where tablespace_name='RAKESH';

>spool off

result of the query will stores in the spool file objects_move.log

>@<urpath>\objects_move.log

Now check the objects in xyz tablespace

SELECT SEGMENT_NAME FROM DBA_SEGMENTS WHERE tablespace_name='XYZ' ;

How to enable trace in Oracle

1. Enable trace at instance level

Put the following line in init.ora. It will enable trace for all
sessions and the background
processes

sql_trace = TRUE

to disable trace:

sql_trace = FALSE

- or -

to enable tracing without restarting database run the following command

in sqlplus

SQLPLUS> ALTER SYSTEM SET trace_enabled = TRUE;

to stop trace run:

SQLPLUS> ALTER SYSTEM SET trace_enabled = FALSE;

2. Enable trace at session level

to start trace:

ALTER SESSION SET sql_trace = TRUE;

to stop trace:

Using orapwd to Connect Remotely as

SYSDBA
August 5, 2003
Don Burleson

The Oracle orapwd utility assists the DBA with granting SYSDBA and SYSOPER privileges
to other users. By default, the user SYS is the only user that has these privileges. Creating a
password file via orapwd enables remote users to connect with administrative privileges
through SQL*Net.

The SYSOPER privilege allows instance startup, shutdown, mount, and dismount. It allows
the DBA to perform general database maintenance without viewing user data. The SYSDBA
privilege is the same as connect internal was in prior versions. It provides the ability to do
everything, unrestricted.

If orapwd has not yet been executed, attempting to grant SYSDBA or SYSOPER privileges
will result in the following error:

SQL> grant sysdba to scott;

ORA-01994: GRANT failed: cannot add users to public password file

The following steps can be performed to grant other users these privileges:

1. Create the password file. This is done by executing the following command:

$ orapwd file=filename password=password entries=max_users

The filename is the name of the file that will hold the password information. The file
location will default to the current directory unless the full path is specified. The
contents are encrypted and are unreadable. The password required is the one for the
SYS user of the database.

The max_usersis the number of database users that can be granted SYSDBA or
SYSOPER. This parameter should be set to a higher value than the number of
anticipated users to prevent having to delete and recreate the password file.

2. Edit the init.ora parameter remote_login_passwordfile. This parameter must be set

to either SHARED or EXCLUSIVE.When set to SHARED, the password file can be
used by multiple databases, yet only the SYS user is recognized. When set to
EXCLUSIVE, the file can be used by only one database, yet multiple users can exist in
the file. The parameter setting can be confirmed by:
SQL> show parameter password

NAME TYPE VALUE

----------------------------- ----------- ----------
remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE

3. Grant SYSDBA or SYSOPER to users. When SYSDBA or SYSOPER privileges are

granted to a user, that user's name and privilege information are added to the password
file.

SQL> grant sysdba to scott;

Grant succeeded.

4. Confirm that the user is listed in the password file.

SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;

USERNAME SYSDBA SYSOPER

------------------------------ ------ -------
 SYS TRUE TRUE
SCOTT TRUE FALSE

Now the user SCOTT can connect as SYSDBA. Administrative users can be connected and
authenticated to a local or remote database by using the SQL*Plus connect command. They
must connect using their username and password, and with the AS SYSDBA or AS SYSOPER
clause:

SQL> connect scott/tiger as sysdba;

Connected.

The DBA utilizes the orapwd utility to grant SYSDBA and SYSOPER privileges to other
database users. The SYS password should never be shared and should be highly classified.

Deep inside the operating system executables there are many utilities at the
fingertips of Oracle professionals, but until now there has been no advice on how to
use these utilities. From tnsping.exe to dbv.exe to wrap.exe, Dave Moore describes
each utility and has working examples in the online code depot. Your time savings
from a single script is worth the price of this great book.

Oracle 9i Automatic PGA Memory Management

With Oracle 9i a new method of tuning the PGA memory areas was introduced.
Automatic PGA Memory Management may be used in place of setting the sort_area_size,
sort_area_retained_size, sort_area_hash_size and other related memory management
parameters that all Oracle DBA's are familiar with. Those parameters may however still
be used. See the following for an interesting discussion on this topic:

The Snark Research Mechanism

The PGA memory management may now controlled by just two parameters if that's how
you choose to set it up.

• pga_aggregate_target,
• workarea_size_policy
Note that work_area_size_policy can be altered per database session, allowing manual
memory management on a per session basis if needed. eg. a session is loading a large
import file and a rather large sort_area_size is needed. A logon trigger could be used to
set the work_area_size policy for the account doing the import.

A session is normally allowed to use up to approximately 5% of the PGA memory

available. This is controlled by the undocumented initialization parameter
_smm_max_size. This value is specified in kilobytes. eg. a value of 1000 really means
1000k. As with all undocumented parameters, don't expect help from Oracle support with
it, as you are not supposed to use it. If you experiment with it, do so on a test system.

Also note that Automate PGA management can only be used for dedicated server
sessions.

For more some good reading on Automatic PGA management, please see:

Oracle Documentation for Tuning PGA

The documentation contains some good guidelines for initial settings, and how to monitor
and tune them as needed.

If your 9i database is currently using manual PGA management, there are views available
to help you make a reasonable estimate for the setting.

If your database also has statspack statistics, then there is also historical information
available to help you determine the setting.

An initial setting can be determined by simply monitoring the amount of PGA memory
being used by the system as seen in v$pgastat, and by querying the
v$pga_target_for_estimate view.

Querying v$pga_target_advice can help you determine a good setting for

pga_aggregate_target. As seen in the previous query, an 18M PGA setting would have
caused Oracle to allocate more memory than specified on 3 occasions. With a 25M PGA,
this would not have happened.
Keep in mind that pga_aggregate_target is not set in stone. It is used to help Oracle better
manage PGA memory, but Oracle will exceed this setting if necessary.

There are other views that are also useful for PGA memory management.

v$process:
select

max(pga_used_mem) max_pga_used_mem

, max(pga_alloc_mem) max_pga_alloc_mem

, max(pga_max_mem) max_pga_max_mem

from v$process

This will show the maximum PGA usage per process:

select

max(pga_used_mem) max_pga_used_mem

, max(pga_alloc_mem) max_pga_alloc_mem

, max(pga_max_mem) max_pga_max_mem

from v$process

This displays the sum of all current PGA usage per process:

select

sum(pga_used_mem) sum_pga_used_mem

, sum(pga_alloc_mem) sum_pga_alloc_mem

, sum(pga_max_mem) sum_pga_max_mem

from v$process

of Automatic PGA Memory Management.

Following are some already canned scripts that may be of use.

Can someone explain to me the difference between differential incretmental and cumulative
incremental backups please

Oct 16 (1 day ago)

Suraj
RE: Incremantal RMAN Backups
A differential backup backs-up ONLY the files that changed since the last FULL BACKUP. For
example, suppose you do a full backup on Sunday. On Monday you back up only the files that
changed since Sunday, on Tuesday you back up only the files that changed since Sunday, and
so on until the next full backup.

Differential backups are quicker than full backups because so much less data is being backed
up. But the amount of data being backed up grows with each differential backup until the next
full back up. Differential backups are more flexible than full backups, but still unwieldy to do
more than about once a day, especially as the next full backup approaches.

Incremental backups also back up only the changed data, but they only back up the data that
has changed since the LAST BACKUP — be it a full or incremental backup. They are sometimes
called "differential incremental backups," while differential backups are sometimes called
"cumulative incremental backups."

Suppose, if you do an incremental backup on Tuesday, you only back up the data that changed
since the incremental backup on Monday. The result is a much smaller, faster backup.

Thanks for the response
While I do believe you were on the right track, I think you might have gotten some terms
mixed up. According to some documentation on otn:

There are two types of incremental backups :

1) Differential Incremental Backups: RMAN backsup all the blocks that have changed since
thte most recent incremental backup at level 1 or level 0. For example, in a differential level 1
backup, RMAN determines which level 1 backup occurred most recently and backs up all
blocks modified after that backup. If no level 1 is available, RMAN copies all blocks changed
since the base level 0 backup.

2) Cumulative Incremental Backups: RMAN backs up all the blocks used since the most
recent level 0 incremental backup. Cumulative incremental backups reduce the work needed
for a restore by ensuring that you only need one incremental backup from any particular level.
Cumulative backups require more space and time than differential backups, however, because
they duplicate the work done by previous backups at the same level.

If you would like to read the entire document (its a short one) you can find it at this site:

Note that the error message is linked to semget. You seem to have run
