Below are the Commands to find the cell_flash_cache hits:

SQL> select owner,cell_flash_cache from dba_segments where segment_name='<segment name>';

SQL> select name,value from v$mystat natural join v$statname where name in ('physical read total IO requests','cell flash cache read hits');

SQL>select * from u1.t1 where rownum<3;

SQL> select name,value from v$mystat natural join v$statname where name in ('physical read total IO requests','cell flash cache read hits');

Output of above commands will display the values of physical read total IO requests & cell flash cache read hits. check weather both the value is increasing???For first selection there is physical read which is obvious but from 2nd time onwords the selection should happen from flash cache.

Now will check if the values are not increaseing

SQL> select * from u1.t1 where rownum<4;
SQL>select name,value from v$mystat natural join v$statname where name in ('physical read total IO requests','cell flash cache read hits');

SQL> select * from u1.t1 where rownum<10;

SQL>select name,value from v$mystat natural join v$statname where name in ('physical read total IO requests','cell flash cache read hits');

Very important parameters to use major features of Exadata.

The first is CELL_OFFLOAD_PROCESSING, which relates to Smart Scans (cell scans). The default value is TRUE, which means that Smart Scans are turned ON for Exadata (if you are using it). You can set this value to FALSE to turn off Smart Scans and check other features or compare speeds with and without this feature.

The second parameter is undocumented and should only be used with the consent of Oracle Support and also only for testing purposes. The second is _KCFIS_STORAGEIDX_DISABLED, which is used to disable storage indexes. This tells Oracle not to use storage index optimization on storage cells if set to TRUE. The default is FALSE.

 Another undocumented parameter (again check with Oracle Support) is also related to how the Smart Scan works and uses Bloom Filters.
The parameter _BLOOM_FILTER_ENABLED is set to TRUE by default. With Exadata, bloom filters are used for join filtering with Smart Scans. _BLOOM_PRUNING_ENABLED also has a default of TRUE. Set these parameters to FALSE to disable them.

1. Smart Flash Cache

The Exadata Storage Server layer includes some flash storage as a hardware component, which has been implemented as a set of PCI flash cards. The main benefit of that is of course faster access than standard, disk-based access. In some cases you can order Exadata to KEEP whole table in Smart Flash Cache which speeds up database layer access with Full Table Scans. On the other hand in Write-Back mode you can empower DBWR or LGWR performance by putting written data on flash cache first, and afterwards sync it with regular hard drives, which of course is transparent to database engine.

2. Storage Indexes

It is absolutely unique to Exadata. Storage Indexes are an intelligent storage implementation. Generally speaking classic database index by it definition is created to efficiently provide a location of a certain data key. To be honest Storage Indexes in Exadata are focused on eliminating areas on storage as possible place where data might exist. Online data maps which are completely transparent for database layer are stored on the Flash Cache of Exadata Storage Servers. To make the story short, when Exadata Storage Server scans through the Storage Index and identifies the regions where predicate value falls within the MIN/MAX for the region, only for the identified regions physical I/O occurs. And as a consequence, even Full Table Scan has been planned by CBO on Database Server layer, limited I/O operations use to be proceed.

3. Smart Scans and Cell Offloading

Offloading use to be called as secret sauce of Oracle Exadata. The main concept of Offloading is to move processing from DB Nodes (Database Servers) to the intelligent storage layer. What is even more important Offloading means the reduction in the volume of data that returns to database server, which is one of the major bottlenecks in terabytes or even more bigger databases. To eliminate the time spent on transferring completely unnecessary data between storage and the database tier is the main issue that Oracle Exadata has been built to solve. Keep in mind that Offloading and Smart Scan terms could be used somewhat interchangeably.

4. Hybrid Columnar Compression

Also known as HCC, Hybrid Columnar Compression is one of the key features of Oracle Exadata, and it is only available on this engineered system. HCC format of compression will be used only when data arrives with direct path loads. There are four levels of compression QUERY LOW (LZO, 4x), QUERY HIGH (ZLIB, 6x), ARCHIVE LOW (ZLIB, 7x) and ARCHIVE HIGH (Bzip2, 12x). Keep in mind that HCC is not a good option for OLTP systems. In case of HCC mechanics, HCC store data in nontraditional format. Even data resides in Oracle blocks, with block header for every block, in HCC data storage has been organised in logical structures called compression units (CUs). Each CU consists of multiple Oracle blocks.

5. IORM

I/O Resource Manager (IORM) is a Oracle Exadata features which enriches Oracle Resource Manager from Database layer. IORM only actively manages I/O requests when needed and when Storage Server is not fully utilised, it provide data immediately. But when a disk is under heavy utilisation, Storage Server software redirects the I/O requests to the appropriate IORM queue and schedules I/O from there according to the policies defined in your IORM plans. Generally IORM policies open the way to prioritise databases on intelligent storage layer, which enable workload optimisation.

RDBMS and listener log (xml) from SQL*Plus with V$DIAG_ALERT_EXt view

With the V$DIAG_ALERT_EXT it is possible to read the logs of all the databases and listeners from the ADR location Great for monitoring. Now only one connection to a database is needed to see all the database alert files and listener logs registered inside the ADR structure.Yes Multiple databases.


There is NO GV$DIAG_ALERT_EXT.

ADR is node, database depended and not global. Still we can use a shared ADR on a shared file system on Oracle CLusterware RAC and then is everthing from one place.

The parameter DIAGNOSTIC_DEST represents the root for the Automatic Diagnostic Repository (ADR), which includes the alertfile states. If this parameter is not set and the ORACLE_BASE is than it will use this information for the DIAGNOSTIC_DEST. If ORACLE_BASE is not set then the ADR root is in log Oracle release 11.2 has introduced new v$ diagnostic (diag) views.

Killing Oracle Scheduling Sessions

On occasion, it may be necessary to kill an Oracle session that is associated with a running job.  The first step in the process is to identify the session to be killed.

Running jobs that were scheduled using the dbms_job package can be identified using the dba_jobs_running view.
The script listed below uses this view along with the v$session and v$process views to gather all information needed about the running jobs.


set feedback off
alter session set nls_date_format='DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';
set feedback on

select
   jr.job,
   s.username,
   s.sid,
   s.serial#,
   p.spid,
   s.lockwait,
   s.logon_time
from
   dba_jobs_running jr,
   v$session s,
   v$process p
where
   jr.sid = s.sid
and
   s.paddr = p.addr
order by
   jr.job
;


  JOB USERNAME     SID    SERIAL# SPID LOCKWAIT LOGON_TIME
----- --------- ------ ---------- ---- -------- --------------------
   42 JOB_USER     235          3       3231          23-JUN-2004 08:21:25
   99 JOB_USER     22         77       3199          23-JUN-2004 08:55:35

2 rows selected.

Running jobs that were scheduled using the dbms_scheduler package can be identified using the dba_scheduler_running_jobs view.
The jobs_running_10g.sql script listed below uses this view along with the v$session and v$process views to gather all information needed about the running jobs.




select
   rj.job_name,
   s.username,
   s.sid,
   s.serial#,
   p.spid,
   s.lockwait,
   s.logon_time
from
   dba_scheduler_running_jobs rj,
   v$session s,
   v$process p
where
   rj.session_id = s.sid
and
   s.paddr = p.addr
order by
   rj.job_name
;


JOB_NAME                   USERNAME SID SERIAL# SPID LOCK  LOGON_TIME
-------------------------- -------- --- ------- ---- ----- --------------------
TEST_FULL_JOB_DEFINITION   SYS      22     125 3199       23-JUN-2004 09:22:12

1 row selected.

Regardless of the job scheduling mechanism, the important thing to note is that there are sid, serial#, and spid values associated with the running jobs.  The sid and serial# values are necessary in order to kill the session, while the spid value is necessary if the associated operating system process or thread must be killed directly.

To kill the session from within Oracle, the sid and serial# values of the relevant session can then be substituted into the following statement:

alter system kill session 'sid,serial#';

With reference to the job listed above by the jobs_running_10g.sql script, the statement would look like this.

SQL> alter system kill session '22,125';


System altered.

Step 1:

Tar the ORACLE_HOME in the source instance.

tar -cvf /DUMP_TABLE/backup/11203_PROD.tar /prddb01/oracle/PROD/db/tech_st/11.2.0.3/

Step 2:

 Scp the tar file to the destination

 Scp .tar oracle@44.13.1.7:/prod/oracle/PROD/db/tech_st/11.2.0.3/

Step 3:

  Untar the tar file in the destination

Tar -xvf 11203_PROD.tar

Step 4:

  Go to ORACLE_HOME/clone/bin and run clone.pl with ORACLE_BASE,ORACLE_HOME,ORACLE_HOME_NAME

cd $ORACLE_HOME/clone/bin

perl clone.pl ORACLE_BASE=/prod/oracle/PROD ORACLE_HOME=/prod/oracle/PROD/db/tech_st/11.2.0.3 ORACLE_HOME_NAME=11G_PRODDR

Note:If you face the error like ORACLE_HOME already exists then perform the below steps

*Open the /etc/oraInst.loc and comment the home you specified in the clone.pl command 

*Go to $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin and use the runInstaller

./runInstaller -silent -ignoreSysPrereqs -detachHome ORACLE_HOME=/prod/oracle/PROD/db/tech_st/11.2.0.3 ORACLE_HOME_NAME=11G_PRODDR

After the runInstaller run root.sh

Now set the ORACLE_HOME environment

export ORACLE_HOME=/prod/oracle/PROD/db/tech_st/11.2.0.3

export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

export ORACLE_SID=PRODDR

Try to connect sqlplus,you will get below error

Now Try to connect sqlplus still if you get permission denied use below steps

cat $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/config.s

.csect H.13.NO_SYMBOL{RO}, 3
.string ""
# End csect H.13.NO_SYMBOL{RO}

.csect H.14.NO_SYMBOL{RO}, 3
.string ""

Now change the file as below.

.csect H.13.NO_SYMBOL{RO}, 3
.string "dba"
# End csect H.13.NO_SYMBOL{RO}

.csect H.14.NO_SYMBOL{RO}, 3
.string "dba"

After changing we should run relink,use below command.

/prod/oracle/PROD/db/tech_st/11.2.0.3/bin/relink

Now sqlplus will connect.

Description:

I recently came across a problem the login page was throwing an error - 404 /OA_HTML/AppsLogin was not found on this server. All services of Database and Listener working fine and get connected. All Application services started successfully without any error/warning on status 0, multiple time restart the services of application and database and also restart the whole machine but still facing the same problem.

Solution:

After some research work I have found the following solution:

The Problem occurs because the wsrp_service.wsdl was owned by root but the services were being started by applmgr.

Ensure that the permission of the file
$ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3/j2ee/oacore/application-deployments/oacore/html/server-wsdl/wsrp_service.wsdl

Shows that it is owned by root user. Somebody started the services of Apps as root user.
Changed the ownership of the file to Apps Owner.
Restart the service, everything working fine now.

Environment: Oracle EBS 12.1.3, Oracle Database 11gR2

Users unable to open the out files.

Concurrent requests failed with “Post-processing of request failed error message”

One or more post-processing actions failed. Consult the OPP service log for details.

No further attempts will be made to post-process this request.

Cause:

The concurrent manager process was able to successfully invoke the Output Post-Processor (OPP) but encountered a timeout as the OPP takes longer than the value assigned to complete the job.

 Solution:

Increase the value of profile Concurrent: OPP Response Timeout . Bounce Apache and retest.

If the issue still exists, perform the following steps.

Increase the number of Output Post Processors as follows:

Increase the number of processes for Output Post Processor.

Additionally, ensure there is a setting of  oracle.apps.fnd.cp.opp.OPPServiceThread:2:0:max_threads=5 under Parameters.

Some times the "alter system kill session" command will returns the output as "Marked as Killed".

in that case we need to kill the session from backend below are the steps:

Finding os process id using sid:---

select vs.sid,vs.serial#, vs.username, vs.osuser,vs.sql_id, vs.process fg_pid, vp.spid bg_pid from v$session vs, v$process vp where vs.paddr = vp.addr and vs.sid=<sid>;

output will get Background process id. use below OS command to kill the session.

Grip the
Kill -9 <background process id>

Issue:

When we try to compile apps schema through adadmin

AD Administration error:
Connected to db edition other than RUN and PATCH:

AD Administration error:
Edition_Name

When tried to change a USER password through FNDCPASS.

The FNDCPASS tool cannot be run against the patch edition

Change :

Recently applied a patch and did the successful cutover.

Solution :

1.
Find the default edition of the database.

SELECT property_value FROM   database_properties WHERE  property_name = 'DEFAULT_EDITION';

SQL> SELECT property_value FROM   database_properties WHERE  property_name = 'DEFAULT_EDITION';

PROPERTY_VALUE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V_20180115_0214

2.
Find service names of the DB

SQL> show parameter service

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
service_names                        string      EBSDB, ebs_patch

3.

Find the edition name which is associated with service_name, it should be same as default edition of the database.

select NAME,EDITION from sys.service$ where name = 'EBSDB'


NAME                           EDITION
------------------------------ ------------------------------
EBSDB                          V_20180115_0203

3.
Update sys.service$ table manually to reflect edition to default edition.

update sys.service$
set EDITION = 'V_20180115_0214'
where NAME = 'EBSDB';

1 row updated.

Commit;

Restart DB to reflect this.

Note : We have tried this in one of our development instance, in case if you are trying this in critical production , please raise SR with oracle before updating sys.service$.

Install and Configure Oracle Application Express Apex 5.0.x with PL/SQL Gateway

1. Download Software as Zip file from OTN

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/index.html

2.Unzip apex_5.0_en.zip Software to ORACLE_HOME directory,it will create a directory called Apex

3. Login to SQLPLUS as SYSDBA in database where you will create the Apex instance. Create a tablespace called “apex” for the Apex 5 installation

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/apex

SELECT dbms_xdb.gethttpport FROM dual;

EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(0);

4. — Full development environment. Run apexins.sql

@apexins.sql tablespace_apex tablespace_files temp_tablespace images

tablespace_apex is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express application user.

tablespace_files is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express files user.

temp_tablespace the name of the temporary tablespace or tablespace group.

images is the virtual directory for Oracle Application Express images. To support future Oracle Application Express upgrades, define the virtual image directory as /i/.

@apexins.sql apex apex temp /i/

@apxldimg.sql APEX_HOME

APEX_HOME is the directory you specified when unzipping the file, in our case it is the ORACLE_HOME directory

SQL> @apxldimg.sql  /home/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

5. Run apxchpwd.sql to create Admin account and Reset the

password —

@apxchpwd.sql

Alter/Unlock the anonymous account

ALTER USER ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

ALTER USER XDB ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

ALTER USER APEX_PUBLIC_USER ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

ALTER USER FLOWS_FILES ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

—————————————————-

Configuring the PL/SQL Embedded Gateway

—————————————————-

6. Running the apex_epg_config.sql Configuration Script to the base directory where Apex software was unzipped. In our case it is the DB home directory

@apex_epg_config.sql /home/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

7. Conifuringthe Oracle XML DB Protocol Server Port

SELECT DBMS_XDB.GETHTTPPORT FROM DUAL;

EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(7888);

[orabssd1@wwibssdb301~]$ netstat -nlp |grep 7888

8. Enabling Network Services in Oracle Database 11g or Later

By default, the ability to interact with network services is disabled in Oracle Database 11g Release 1 or 2 or later. 

Therefore, if you are running Oracle Application Express with Oracle Database 11g Release 1 or 2 or later,

you must use the new DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN package to grant connect privileges to any host for the APEX_050000 database user.  

Grant connect privileges to any host for the APEX_050000

database user
