How to export cluster tables ? Please help !!

$
0
0

Dear Experts,

 

I have got the very nice task to export a few tables from a database. It worked quite OK,

till I have attempted to dump the BSEG table !! It is a cluster table and listed only in

SE16, but on DB level it's a ghost - nothing in dba_tables, nothing in dba_objects...

BR*Tools have no idea about it either...

I have been googling a LOT, but the only stuff I found is what a cluster table is, how to

create one and how to proceed with expdp in an oracle RAC environment

 

Please kindly advise on that! Many thanks in advance!


RZ20: freespace tablespace wrong value after autoextend set to off

$
0
0

Hallo.

I reinstalled by system copy my SAP ECC PRD system from MSCS W2k3 Oracle 11.2.0.3 to  MSCS Windows 2008 R2 Oracle 11.2.0.4

 

After the upgrade, I set the datafile to AUTOEXTEND OFF with the command;

ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'Z:\ORACLE\PRO\SAPDATA2\SR3_1\SR3.DATA1'  AUTOEXTEND OFF;

ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'Z:\ORACLE\PRO\SAPDATA2\SR3_2\SR3.DATA2'  AUTOEXTEND OFF;

ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'Z:\ORACLE\PRO\SAPDATA2\SR3_3\SR3.DATA3'  AUTOEXTEND OFF;

ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'Z:\ORACLE\PRO\SAPDATA2\SR3_4\SR3.DATA4'  AUTOEXTEND OFF;

.

.

.

 

 

Now, I monitor my tablespace by RZ20 -> SAP CCMS Technical Operations Templates -> Space Management->Free Space in DB->Tablespace->PSAPSR3->Free space

Double click on it and I see:

     Tablespace     Total (KB)          Used (%)     Free (KB)      Free exts.          Max. (KB)           Used (%)             Free (KB)

     SYSTEM          993.280           98               19.968               2              10.240.000                 10                  9.266.688

     SYSAUX          409.600           94               26.560               1              10.240.000                  4                  9.856.960

     PSAPSR3USR 296.960           92               23.488               2              10.240.000                  3                  9.966.528

     PSAPUNDO     7.536.640        0                 7.527.424           1.413       10.240.000                  0                  10.230.784

     PSAPTEMP      16.384.000       0                16379.904          0              20.480.000                  0                  20.475.904

     PSAPSR3700    67.235.840      79               13845.184         11             92.160.000                 58                 38.769.344

     PSAPSR3          834160.640     96              30286.144        112            1044.480.000              77                 240605.504

 

 

As you see, Free (KB) in the 4th and in the last columns aren't equal.
And Total (KB) is different from Max. (KB)

 

 

But they have to be equal because after set the datafile to autoextend OFF

Infact in the other systems TST and development the values of the columns are equal

 

Obviously, from DBACOCKPIT I see the QAUTOEXTEND are OFF

 

In the attachment you can see :

TST screenshot with right values
PRD screenshot with wrong values

DBACOCKPIT of PRD

 

 

 

What could I check?
Is there any temporary view used by RZ20 monitor ?

 

Thanks for your help.

Hallo.

We migrated from Win2k3 Enterprise Ed. 64 bit Oracle 11.2.0.3 to Win2k8 R2 Enterprise Ed. 64 bit Oracle 11.2.0.4 our MSCS Production system ECC 6.0

 

 

 

We have problem with split mirror backup.

We start backup from the backup host but backup works intermittently

 

 

A time work.

Next time not work with the error:

 

BR0051I BRBACKUP 7.20 (41)

BR0055I Start of database backup: berduror.aff 2015-08-12 14.00.17

BR0273E Determination of file status for Y:\ORACLE\PRO\sapbackup\CNTRLPRO.DBF failed

BR0314E Collection of information on database files failed

 

 

 

 

We use brtools 7.20 (41) and I tried with 7.20 (42) the last one available and we have the same problem.

If I execute local (not split mirror disk) brbackup it works.

 

 

In the old system we never had the same problem.

 

 

Could you help us ?

 

 

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

 

We are preparing a SD rebate agreement report where we need to fetch data from condition tables like KONP, KONV, KONH.

 

Firstly we need key fields (KNUMH, KOPOS) from KONP by providing Agreement no (KNUMA). Its taking a absurd time to fetch the data, sometimes showing time out error.

When we normally accessing the table via se16 or se11 or se16n, its also taking long time to run.

I have collected the trace also( attaching herewithin).

Kindly help us in how to reduce the time to fetch data from the tables.

Couldn't load SAPSECULIB (".//libsapcrypto.so")

Hi All;

 

Here is the scenario:

 

1. Recently upgraded to SAP ECC 6.0 EHP7 from EHP4

2. Running on Kernel 7.42 Patch 200 on Application Server

3. Separate Application and Database servers

4. Both servers are on Linux Red Hat 6.4

5. Oracle 11.2.0.3

6. BR Tools 7.40 patch 16 (latest version)

7.  Connecting to the database server using SSH (see lines

 

If I run BRCONNECT directly on the database server works.

 

If I run BRCONNECT via DB13 on the Application, server, it works but I get a messaget that BRCONNECT couldn't load libsapcrypto.so.

 

It seems that the environment variables are not getting picked up or transfer or set on the database server but BRCONNECT runs anyways.

 

I have looked at OSS Notes 2127746, 1848999, 510007, 2125088, 1965519, 1926471 and 2198198.  While they all have some sort applicablity, I haven't been able to resolve my issue even though I am running the latest version of the BRTOOLs.  I think is related to me connecting via SSH but I can't seem to resolve the issue.

 

Any ideas?

Dear Experts,

 

 

 

Request you to please share your valuable experiences with the concept of "Migration of SAP System with Oracle 10g on RAC from HP-UX to AIX"

 

 

 

My Queries are as below:

 

 

 

1) As the source is already on Oracle 10g RAC how to migrate using SAP tools

 

 

 

     - Do I need to make the oracle 10g RAC to Oracle 10g Single Instance Database ? ( If possible can u please provide the steps to do so )

 

 

 

     If there is any other alternative please let me know

 

 

 

2) During Target System Installation before importing data, we need to install oracle software

 

 

 

     - Do I need to install Oracle Cluster Software before installing Oracle Software ?

 

 

 

     - Do I need to install Oracle Software as Single Instance or Oracle RAC software need to be installed

 

 

 

3) As Oracle Cluster Software is already installed, its regarding PowerHA Clustering

 

 

 

     - Do I need to take care of even database in PowerHA configuration ?

 

 

 

 

 

Please note, before posting this discussion I have already referred White Papers related to Oracle 10g/11g RAC configuration for SAP and also referred the relevant OSS notes

 

 

 

1) Configuration of SAP NetWeaver for Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2 and Oracle Real Application Clusters 11g Release 2

 

 

 

2) Configuration of SAP NetWeaver for Oracle Database 10g Real Application Clusters

 

 

 

3) 527843 - Oracle RAC support in the SAP environment

 

 

 

Thanks & Regards,

I was following  a lot of notes and guides how to setup brtools , but its till does not work for me .

 

Some of the notes I used are below .

1598594 - BR*Tools configuration for Oracle installation using user "oracle"

1598594 - BR*Tools configuration for Oracle installation using user "oracle"

1627541 - BR*Tools support for Oracle ASM and Exadata/ODA

 

My current problem is :

 

I am able to run from application server  brconnect using "@TRS":

 

brconnect -u SYSTEM/r3dt1g00@TRS -f stats -t all -f collect -p 4

 

 

But when I run it without "@TRS" which is a TNS name for the DB it does not work and fails with the following error :

 

BR0301E SQL error -12545 at location db_connect-3, SQL statement:

'CONNECT SYSTEM/********'

ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

BR0310E Connect to database instance TRS failed

BR0280I BRCONNECT time stamp: 2015-07-08 13:50:39

BR0301E SQL error -12545 at location db_connect-3, SQL statement:

'CONNECT SYSTEM/********'

ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

BR0310E Connect to database instance TRS failed

 

I tried different variation of environment variables like :

setenv ORACLE_SID  TRS

setenv dbs_ora_tnsname TRS

setenv TNS_ADMIN /oracle/client/11x_64/instantclient_11204/oracle

 

But its still does not work .

 

My question is why brtools do not see TNS variables of the user and where I can set them up  ?

 

Also , I will appreciate if somebody can share a detailed guide or experience for the similar setup ?


Regards,


Evgeny

Oracle 12c - RMAN cross platform restore

$
0
0

Dear Experts,

 

I would kindly like to ask you, if anyone has already gathered experience with the new RMAN cross

platform restore feature of Oracle 12c ?

We will need to make a hardware move from Solaris x86_64 to Solaris SPARC. During my research,

I found Note 1848918 - SAP System Copy on Oracle Solaris with Oracle Database

which is even more confusing, as it says:

 

"The Backup/Restore procedure also available for a homogeneous system copy can not be used due to different endianness of the mentioned platforms."

 

This is perfectly true, as Solaris x86_64 is little endian and SPARC is big endian.

Furthermore, the note says exactly the opposite:

 

"With Oracle Database 12c SAP permits the use of Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) for Cross platform backup/restore as mentioned in SAP note 105047"

 

I have also checked Note 105047, but that note couldn't be more general in the explanation !!

 

Furthermore, I would kindly like to ask, if anyone knows some documentation or procedure on how

to perform such a cross-platform restore using RMAN ? I didn't find anything, I only found guidance

on the approach, if using RMAN directly:

 

Transporting Data Across Platforms

 

But anyway, I wasn't able to find a word about doing this with BRBACKUP / BRRESTORE...

 

Many thanks for enlighting me!

BRARCHIVE - strange behaviour

$
0
0

Dear Experts,

 

I have been solving so many times a full oraarch situation. But what happened today is a little strange.

During the DB backup, there were 70 archive log files (which is not that much). The backup finished at

2:44. Then oraarch got full and the DB got stuck.

Around 8:40 I have started BRARCHIVE manually, which solved the problem.

The strange here is, that BRARCHIVE has been running at 3:44, 4:44, etc. and failing to archive ANY

logs with the following error message:

 

BR0280I BRARCHIVE time stamp: 2015-08-18 04.44.01

BR0301W SQL error -257 at location BrDbConnect-2, SQL statement:

'CONNECT /'

ORA-00257: archiver error. Connect internal only, until freed.

BR0310W Connect to database instance <SID> failed

 

There are no records in DB14 of these runs, but I think that when the DB is stuck, the corresponding

tables couldn't be updated.

 

My question: Why the automatic BRARCHIVE runs were failing and when I manually started exactly

the same command, it worked ???

 

Thanks a lot!
