and w.sid=s.indx;

GTXID is the same on both databases.

Proxy User Authentication: Create DBLINK in another schema

January 20, 2017 Leave a comment

Problem

We need to create private database link in another schema. But we don’t know the password for this user.

Solution (Proxy user)

For example, my username is marik and database link should be created in dbcleanup’s schema.

SQL> alter user DBCLEANUP grant connect through marik;
SQL> connect marik[DBCLEANUP]/123@orcl
SQL> show user
USER is "marik[DBCLEANUP]"
SQL> create database link MYLINK 
connect to LINKUSER identified by "password" using 'ORCL2';

Proxy users can be identified using the PROXY_USERS view.

SQL> select * from proxy_users;

The proxy authentication can be revoked using the following command.

SQL> alter user DBCLEANUP revoke connect through marik ;

RMAN: Displaying current backup progress

January 17, 2017 Leave a comment

To check the progress of your current RMAN backup use this script:

#This is my favorite script

select recid
 , output_device_type
 , dbsize_mbytes
 , input_bytes/1024/1024 input_mbytes
 , output_bytes/1024/1024 output_mbytes
 , (output_bytes/input_bytes*100) compression
 , (mbytes_processed/dbsize_mbytes*100) complete
 , to_char(start_time + (sysdate-start_time)/(mbytes_processed/dbsize_mbytes),'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') est_complete
 from v$rman_status rs
 , (select sum(bytes)/1024/1024 dbsize_mbytes from v$datafile) 
 where status='RUNNING'
 and output_device_type is not null

Alert log table x$dbgalertext

January 5, 2017 Leave a comment

Prior to 11g you had to create external table to query alert log information.

In 11g Oracle introduced X$DBGALERTEXT, which is mapped to the alert log file located at  $ORACLE_BASE/diag/rdbms/{DB_UNIQUE_NAME}/{SID}/alert/log_XX.xml.

Note that table is located in SYS schema and you need a permission to see it’s content.

So, please keep in mind this table name, it is really useful to search errors in alert log.

I have setup Oracle Cloud Control 13c on virtual machine.

Yesterday machine was shut downed forcibly and Cloud Control was unable to start up after that.

Let’s check the following log:

[oracle@oragc log]$ tailf /u01/app/oracle/gc_inst/user_projects/domains/GCDomain/servers/EMGC_ADMINSERVER/logs/EMGC_ADMINSERVER.out

I have found the solution on Oracle Community site: https://community.oracle.com/thread/2375509

“Please follow below steps to get you domain up and running
1) Take a backup of $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/ovd/default/adapters.os_xml

2) Delete $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/ovd/default/adapters.os_xml

3) copy adapters.os_xml from $MW_HOME/oracle_common/modules/oracle.ovd_11.1.1/templates/ to $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/ovd/default/

4) Restart the server.”

After performing the above steps:
