Hi Experts,

I started with Oracle10g OS: B.11.31 version, SAP ECC5.0 Brrestore Method, System copy import method.

Now started Oracle Installation asking some pre-requisites I solved after completion  showing OS related Error message

Version could not supported. pls tell me how to modify that version. I attached tha log information.

Hello,

I've got one SAP system on Oracle - single Oracle instance without ASM. It has average (user calls average based on 2 months period) 17 000 user calls per second and daily around 2 million dialog steps + 1,5 million of RFC+UPD+BGD steps together.

We are following SAP rules regarding DB parameters and tuning expensive SQL statements (in top 20 selects sorted by DB time we don't have any
select with more than 5 blocks read by each row,  I'm aware that it is not only one criteria, but it is to show that system is being tuned (not that all
are tuned but all of top resource consuming SQLs from cursor cache looks fine) from expensive SQLs perspective. I’m aware that very often expensive SQLs causing very often unnecessary load.

Our storage vendor did checks and claims that there are no hot spots on storage and it has a free resources to handle current load twice (IOPs). I would like to know where this configuration could have bottlenecks. Some times (especially when load on db is higher than usual) I see queue and wait times  on dm* devices. Configuration looks in this way:

Linux SLES 11 SP1. LUNs configured from OS to storage:

• Oracle parameters align with SAP recommendations (as mentioned above)
• Filesystem ext3 with mount options: rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0 (5 sapdata LUN/fs - 2TB each)
• LVM: 
  lvm2, Metadata Areas 1, Clustered yes, PE Size 4.00 MB
• Linux multipathing is used with configuration:    
  features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='1 alua' wp=rw  policy='round-robin 0'
• Then lower:
  FC network (2 cards in server, 2 FC switches, 2 Controllers in storage array, storage array 160+ spindle disks + 12 ssd for tiering - no significant waits visible from storage array statistics).

Please let me know if you have experience with similar load and Oracle on Linux architecture and what configuration you have or what you would improve for above (please give a hints basing upon your experience)

Thanks in advance,

Marek

Hello

The environment I am describing is 32 bit Windows.

Our SAP Portal system is still running Oracle 9.2.0.6.  I need to get this upgraded to 11g & I'm not clear which is the best route to follow  to do this.

I have seen documentation which says that a direct upgrade from as old as 9.2.0.4 to 11g is supported but other documentation seems to imply that the earliest which is supported is 9.2.0.8.

I have also recently upgraded on Widnows from 10.2.0.1 to 11g & discovered that I needed to go to 10.2.0.2 before I could move to 11g - this wasn't in any documentation I saw  until the error occurred & I searched explicitly for a solution.

Does anyone have experience of this & can you offer any advice?

The database on our portal system is , as far as  I understand it, only used to hold user information.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks, Chris

Hi Experts,

We lost eight(8) production archive files because of backup failure through HP Data protector

We are using the archive for DR restoration but now it's causing inconsistency and restoration is not possible.

Currently my DR is in stable condition till 4~5 day ago situation, now i need point in time recovery on DR server without lost archives.

Currently I have last week cold backup+yesterday online backup+archive after online backups.

Can you please suggest that it's possible to restore online backup on current situation using DP or I need to go through complete recovery procedure.

Either suggest the alternate way of point in time recovery.

Regards,

Vinay Shrimali

Hi Experts,

I am new HP-UX with SAP, Now I start the SANDBOX server for Upgrade Testing,

I  having some doubt how to install Orcale Pre-Requisites, What are the Env I need to set,

Please tell me and give any reference guide.

Current Environment: SAP Dev System Oracle Version 10, UNIX HP v11

I am trying to upgrade the Oracle Database from 10 to 11.3, when I run the OUI it cancels or errors out at the following step i.e. Provide Previliged user groups. I know I have to select the default entries provided but when I select that it fails.

Also when I change the default entries it still fails.

I have checked the groups i.e. DBA and OPER.

I have changed the entries in /etc/group file and edited using Vi editor and added ora<SID> in group file under dba group, after reading the SCN blogs.

Can some one help this I cannot move past this step.

Help is appreciated.

Hi Experts,

What are the parameters we need to monitor at the time of slow experience of the performance of the system , we are having two IBM power 4, AIX 6.1 , systems with Oracle 10.2.0.4 systems.

One is  System is central instance and another is application instance, and we are having 330 users in SAP.

Please suggest us.

Introduction

This blog post is just a short note about an architectural change in the instance / listener registration process starting with Oracle 12c. I noticed this change by testing some Oracle RAC 12c features, which do not work properly at first (which was my fault due to some misconfiguration). Basically my issue was about database service registration in the SCAN listeners and the corresponding quality of service.

I enabled the registration trace as usual (prior 12c) by setting event "immediate trace name listener_registration" and tried to figure out what happens with PMON in detail, but the PMON trace file did not include any information at all. After browsing through other process trace files i found the needed information in the LREG trace file.

Official Oracle documentation

Listener Registration Process (LREG)

The listener registration process (LREG) registers information about the database instance and dispatcher processes with the Oracle Net listener (see "The Oracle Net Listener"). When an instance starts, LREG polls the listener to determine whether it is running. If the listener is running, then LREG passes it relevant parameters. If it is not running, then LREG periodically attempts to contact it.

Note: In releases before Oracle Database 12c, PMON performed the listener registration.

Ok, here we go. I stumbled over a simple RTFM issue. Funny to notice, that Oracle did not change this in the whole Oracle 12c R1 documentation consequently as some graphics still include the PMON process (e.g. The Oracle Net Listener).

Demo

The following demo was run on an Oracle database (12.1.0.1.0) on OEL 6.4.

Summary

I searched for an explanation after i have noticed that behavior change and found a valid one in book "Expert Oracle RAC 12c" by Syed Jaffar Hussain, Tariq Farooq, Riyaj Shamsudeen and Kai Yu.

In version 11.2, if there are numerous services (100+) and numerous listeners, then there is a possibility that the PMON process might spend more time on service registration to listeners due to the sheer number of services and listeners. But, in version 12c, this possibility is eliminated as the LREG parameter performs service registration and PMON is freed from listener registration.

This explanation makes sense in such environments as PMON is responsible for some other critical tasks as well.

The process monitor (PMON) monitors the other background processes and performs process recovery when a server or dispatcher process terminates abnormally. PMON is responsible for cleaning up the database buffer cache and freeing resources that the client process was using. For example, PMON resets the status of the active transaction table, releases locks that are no longer required, and removes the process ID from the list of active processes.

If you have any further questions - please feel free to ask or get in contact directly, if you need assistance by troubleshooting Oracle database (performance) issues.

Hi Team,

I have this strange issue where i get connected to idle instance whenever i type asmcmd from oracle user.

oracle user is part of the asmadmin group.

ORACLE_SID is the same as we get fro instance_name from v$instance.

Do we still have to set some parameters in order to launch asmcmd?

Hi Folks,

I have a doubt suppose i am running the statistics manually, and i want to check the logs for whether the statistics have been updated or not.

I can check the same from DB02old checks dates of table analysis,

How can i check the same from dbacockpit?

I am not using brconnect to schedule the jobs, i am doing it manually.

Thanks,

Hello community,

we have to migrate a large database to a new datacenter. My approch to avoid downtime was to install a Oracle DataGuard system completely and do log shipping of the current live produciton system to this target system.

We are awarethat the SAP provides the following propositions (but no option):

Note 1508271 - Oracle to Oracle Online Migration - Triple-O

Note 693168 - Minimized Downtime Service and Incremental Migration (IMIG)

Would you recommend this method and there are documentation for this (DataGuard)- method?

Many thanks for your help!

Hi,

I have performed a homogeneous system copy from Production (PRD)  to Quality Server.(QAS)

(Restored from a PRD backup)

Post installation steps are done on QAS & system is functioning properly

But, when it executes the job  "Check and update optimizer statistics" on QAS ... after if seconds that job fails.

(Detail log file is attached. - log.txt)

(In PRD , it executes successfully)

Hi everybody,

In our Solution Manager I get the next error when the report RSORACOL is executed (inside SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_PERFMONITOR):

Exception CX_DBA_ADBC in program RSORACOL line 0

  Kernel Error ID:

  SYSID: SM           --> Solution Manager

  SY-SUBRC: 0

  SQL statement: select version FROMv$instance

  Database: XXX      --> Remote Database

caused by

Exception CX_SQL_EXCEPTION in class CL_SQL_RESULT_SET

  Kernel Error ID:

  DB Error: Yes

  SQL Code: 942

  SQL Message: con=1(XXX.XXXXX): ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

In the Solution Manager the table ORA_MON_DBCON, which is read by RSORALCOL, has entries for the rest of the systems in the landscape. When try to execute the functions in table DB02_COLL_PLAN, the result is the error above.

Could anybody help me with it?

Thanks in advance

Hi everybody,

I am currently facing the situation that I get the error "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" while running Backup or even while making a Database system check with BRTOOLS (BRBACKUP and BRCONNECT).

This error occurs since the update of the SAP System, from Solution Manager 7.1 SPS 08 to Solution Manager 7.1 SPS 10

DB = Oracle 11g

OS = Windows 2003 x64
