crontab Forgetfulness - Lon White
|
Here's an article by Lon White, CTO at Triora Group, who has won the TruTek article writing contest so many times that we're now making him an official newsletter author.
This month I thought I would share some pointed tips on automating some
tasks that are central to the Apps DBA, as well as some tips on how to
prevent those same tasks from biting you in the caboose later on. Those
of you that read my articles know that I love automating DBA tasks
where appropriate, partly because I like the challenge, and partly
because I do not want to have to "remember" to do certain tasks when
they are repetitive but not frequent. I add the "appropriate"
descriptor here since I have had very interesting conversations with
fellow DBAs about the feasibility of scripting things. This a
discussion we can have later, but suffice it to say, there are things
that should not be automated. Likewise, there are tasks that should be
automated, but the cost of doing such far outweighs the benefit. Make
sense?
So, tip one is central to cloning. You do clone, right? Surely, you are
not one of those folks that let everyone "test" in production are you?
If you are, stop reading this article now, navigate away from this
knowledge, and don't come back until you have enough sense to know the
horrible-ness of your misdeeds!

Discoverer Eulapi for Exporting and Importing the Whole Discoverer Schema from the Discoverer Server - Guest Author, Kathy Duret
|
Kathy Duret is an Oracle E-Business Suite Database Administrator at Charter Steel, in Wisconsin. Here's her winning article about the Discoverer Eulapi. Think you can do better? Go on, consult your writing muse and send us an entry!
This tip saves my Discoverer Administrators time and frustration. I hope other Discoverer users find this valuable.
Our Discoverer Administrators had a couple of issues with backing up
and refreshing EULS. On a one by one basis, the Java tool on the PC
worked fine. But, when they tried to do either a full export for backup
purposes or tried to refresh all of production from the QA instance of
Discoverer, the java refreshes took all day and typically hung up their
PC so they couldn't do any other work.
We decided to see if we could do the work on the Discoverer server,
rather than the PC, so the user's PC would not be hung up, and we could
schedule the backups through a cron job.
Sounds simple enough, right?
Well, I couldn't find any examples of how to refresh the whole schema
through the eulapi on the Discoverer Server. I could only find some
examples of how to export/import a workbook or a business area or
import a group of workbooks or business areas. The trouble is, if you
have a lot of workbooks or business areas, this could take quite a bit
of effort. So we really needed a way to export and import the whole
schema easily.
After playing around with a combination of examples that Oracle had for
eulapi and for the Java api used by the Discoverer Administrator tool,
I found the combination that worked for us. Whereas the Java export
took about 4 hours on a PC, the export took less than 30 minutes on the
server. The Java import took all day on the PC and only 30 minutes or
so on the Discoverer Server. Also, the user didn't have to use a
different PC to do work during the day, or try to remember to run
imports and exports at night.
This is run from the $ORACLE_HOME/bin for Discoverer and assumes you have your user and permissions set up.
For a basic eulapi export of the whole schema:
./eulapi -connect yourusername/yourpassword @source_db -export
yourfilename.eex -all -business_area_and_contents % -wildcard -log
origeul_db.log
Backup script for Linux:
I schedule this as a cron job; it could be scheduled through Grid Control as well.
I set up a file that has a number of preset variables including Oracle
Home, Date, where I want my logs to go, etc., and source that first in
the script.

What Happens When the Primary Node Becomes Available Again? by Mike Swing
|
|
This question was asked at my presentation on Parallel Concurrent Processing Failover and Load Balancing at RMOUG's Training Days last month.
Question: After a request fails over to the secondary node, and the primary
node becomes available, does the request fail back to the primary node, or does
it finish running on the secondary node?
Answer: It fails back to the primary node as soon as the node becomes
available.
Presumably, jobs commit every 1000 rows, or so, and can easily rollback any
uncommited work in the event of a failure or failback. If the job is
restartable and doesn't need to start from the beginning, this would be a
reasonable strategy.

Case Study on Oracle Rowcache Internals, Cached Non-existent Objects and a Describe Bug, by Tanel Poder
|
Tanel Poder presented at
RMOUG last month, and the feedback on him was terrific! Described as an
incredible speaker with great material and a great understanding of his
topic, Tanel had one of the best attended sessions at RMOUG, with an
estimated crowd of 500. We couldn't resist the chance to bring Tanel in
to give a seminar, so be sure to sign up for his Advanced Oracle Troubleshooting Seminar
in Salt Lake City on June 10-12 or in Denver from June 15-17. Don't miss it! Also, if you like what you read here, be sure to check out Tanel's blog, Core IT for Geeks and Pros, for more information about Oracle internals. And if you're going to UTOUG Training Days this week, catch a sneak peek at Tanel there!
This
article should give you a feeling for how deep Tanel's Oracle knowledge
runs!
I
got a question regarding Metalink Note 296235.1, about a describe bug
which causes objects to "disappear" when they are described when
the database is not open.
The question was:
If
you describe any DBA_* Views (Data dictionary views) in a mount stage,
than you will not be able to describe those views even after opening
the database. Do you know what happens behind the scenes here?
I
did take a look into this and it looks like the issue comes from a
deficiency in the OPI describe call codepath, which incorrectly sets a
non-existent flag in the dictionary cache when the database is closed.
With this post, I hope to shed a little light into the core parts of
Oracle's dictionary cache (also called rowcache) internals, and also
show how, armed with some internals knowledge, it is possible to determine
why some bugs happen, and what components are involved. This in turn
should help us to diagnose complex problems (potentially involving
bugs) better and avoid or work around them too.
Let's look into a test case (Oracle 10.2.0.3 on Linux 32bit):
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 595591168 bytes
Fixed Size 1263128 bytes
Variable Size 163580392 bytes
Database Buffers 423624704 bytes
Redo Buffers 7122944 bytes
Database mounted.
SQL>
SQL> desc dba_tables
ERROR:
ORA-04043: object dba_tables does not exist
See... I can not describe a table (or view in this case) as Oracle database is not open. This is expected behavior.

The Value of Embedded BI: Who Gives a Click? by Ferenc Mantfeld
|
The promise of BI in today's business world sounds exciting,
fascinating and shows potential rapid ROI, yet uptake is slow because
most organizations do not want yet another application for their end
users to log into, yet another application where the data does not
match their existing applications' data, and where IT resources are
going to be employed to hunt down the discrepancies between systems. So
how does BI provide an immediate and tangible return?
In the usual world, where companies have many applications, users often
log into their online transactional systems (CRM, ERP, etc.) and then
simultaneously open the reporting / BI application. For illustration
purposes, let us describe getting a full customer profile report that
we are looking at in a CRM / ERP system, where the CRM / ERP system
contains the bare essentials. The report might contain the customer's
details, purchase activity, top products, activities and interactions
with the company, demographic information, and perhaps some predictive
information as to which of our products might interest them based on
various factors. When the user wants to find full information on a
customer from the reporting system, the user normally highlights the
customer number (1 click), copies the customer number (another click or
Ctrl-C), then switches to the BI Application (alt-tab, another click),
opens the relevant report (another click or series of clicks), then
pastes (another click or Ctrl-V) the copied customer id into the report
parameter, then clicks the 'Go' button (another click). If the report
result is then to be saved to a local drive and attached to the CRM /
ERP system as an attachment, a whole lot more clicking is going to
happen.
The problem with the above scenario is that it is very: - time-consuming
- annoying
- and the possibility for human error (did not copy the entire customer
number, accidentally hit another key while pasting, etc.) increases
considerably.

A Dashboard Will Magically Solve All My Problems by Ferenc Mantfeld
|
Dashboards as a business phrase have really only been around since the
turn of the century, brought about by the visual impact of the dials
and gauges in a car or aircraft, giving the viewer a real-time
informative view of everything important to run the vehicle. But the
concept of having executive level summary information from the various
facets of the business is nothing new.
Dashboards are only as good as the depth, breadth and quality of the data behind the information.
Dashboards should present their information in an agreed-upon format
and ideally should allow their target audience the ability to drilldown
into the next level/s of detail to verify the summary information
behind it.
If you build it, will they come? That depends on whether or not they
(your target consumers of the dashboard/s) were consulted in the first
place as to what they wanted and how they wanted to see and interact
with it.
So before you rush out to build a dashboard, spend a little time
investigating (talking to people) what, and more importantly, why, it
should be built, and this time investment will yield tremendous
increases in customer (user) satisfaction.

Do You Live in Ex-Hell (Excel)? by Ferenc Mantfeld
|
Many of today's organizations have evolved into one or more
uncontrolled "spreadmarts" (spreadsheet based data marts) with some
very serious consequences.
Let's face it, everyone in business uses Excel to some degree. However,
when we make important decisions based on these numbers, never forget
this about spreadsheets:
- Manual data entry can lead to deliberate or inadvertent manipulation, thus losing "truth"
- Spreadsheets are desktop and individual-centric
- Creating spreadsheets consume time
- Spreadsheets have no auditing controls (SOX / Basel II compliance implications)
- Formulas are derived by the spreadsheet author, leading to possible inaccuracies
- Spreadsheets do not provide an easy ability to drill through to the underlying data
- Spreadsheets offer no ability to secure the data (stolen laptop means
stolen data in Excel), which has many implications besides industrial
espionage, including privacy law compliance
- Spreadsheets offer no ability to easily schedule refreshes or to take
action (send Web Services call to SOAP server) based on triggering
business conditions
So with all this, why then do we still rely today on spreadsheet information to made important decisions?
Excel is the ideal prototype environment, it is a familiar interface,
it has some "advanced" visualization, and it has the ability for us to
massage data - and we don't need to purchase a license to log into a
proper robust BI tool.
To someone who needs to get information one-time only, Excel might be
the perfect answer to solve a temporary summary data question. However,
if this is to be a repeatable process, or if it is to provide
meaningful data that is to be shared, this is a worst-case scenario, as
it creates more work and data management responsibility.
It is recommended that if you do have a "spreadmart" running in your
organization, that you look towards a central, secure, accurate and
consistent method for managing insight into this information, such as
that provided by SeeMoreData.

Another Book by Robert Freeman!
|
 Yes, it's true, Robert has published another fine technical book about Oracle. Here's the scoop straight from Robert:
I just finished my newest book..... It's for Sybex and it's called OCP Oracle Database 11g Certified Professional Study Guide. It's a prep guide for the Oracle Database 11g OCP
Exam (Exam 1Z0-053) and I'm very excited about it. I love teaching and
helping people learn new things, and I hope that all of you who seek
for your 11g OCP
will benefit from this book. I worked with my old friend Charles Pack
on this book and I think it's turned out to be a great book.
I'm getting ready to start on my next book, Oracle Database 11g RMAN Backup and Recovery. It is my hope that this book will *continue* to be the go-to book for RMAN and Oracle. The book will be the most up-to-date RMAN
book out in the market. Look for more information on this book to be
forthcoming here in my blog. I can tell you we are going to be adding
lots of content and will clean up a lot of stuff too. If you liked the RMAN book before, trust me, this copy will be even better.
