Invalid Objects After Removing OLAP or Migration of a Database to 64 Bit

Doc Id: 565773.1

SQL> @?/olap/admin/catnoamd.sql
SQL> @?/olap/admin/olapidrp.plb
SQL> @?/olap/admin/catnoaps.sql
SQL> @?/olap/admin/catnoxoq.sql

Determine all PUBLIC synonyms referring to objects in the OLAPSYS schema:

SQL>spool olapdrop.sql
SQL> select 'drop public synonym ' || synonym_name || ';'
from dba_synonyms
where owner='PUBLIC' and table_owner='OLAPSYS';
SQL>spool off


Modify the datapump handler table to remove handlers used to export OLAP data:

SQL>select * from sys.exppkgact$ where package = 'DBMS_AW_EXP' and
schema= 'SYS';
SQL>delete from sys.exppkgact$ where package = 'DBMS_AW_EXP'
and schema= 'SYS';
SQL>commit;

Migrating a Microsoft SQL Server Database to Oracle Database 11g

http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm

Fine Grained Dependency (11G)

Improved PL/SQL stored procedure invalidation mechanism - A new 11g features will be fine grained dependency tracking, reducing the number of objects which become invalid as a result of DDL.

In previous releases, object dependencies were managed at the object level, so altering an object automatically invalidated all dependent objects. Oracle 11g has more granular dependency management, so only changes that directly affect an object will cause an invalidation.

Beehive + Linux + Portas Baixas

Uso de portas baixas no Beehive:

chown root hasbind
chmod a+x hasbind
chmod a+s hasbind

/etc/cap.ora
+user user1: bind port 20
+user user1: bind port 21
+user user1: bind port 23
+user user1: bind port 80
+user user1: bind port 25
+user user1: bind port 443
+user user1: bind port 143
+user user1: bind port 993
+user user1: bind port 465

Para poder utilizar o Apache na porta 443:

chown root .apachectl
chmod a+x .apachectl
chmod a+s .apachectl


Exemplo de mudança de porta do SMTP no Beehive:

beectl modify_port --protocol SMTP --port 25

beectl activate_configuration

Beehive + Imap + SSL

Para "colocar" um certificado digital para oIMAP no Beehive, basta alterar a propriedade WalletDir, apontando para o caminho está está seu Wallet.

beectl list_property --component beehive_instance_OrionInstance.your_domain.com --name WalletDir


beectl modify_property --component beehive_instance_OrionInstance.your_domain.com --name WalletDir --value /u01/app/oracle/product/1.5.1.0.0/beehive/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.wlt/portal/


beectl activate_configuration

Adicionar um email externo a um grupo de Emails do Beehive

Infelizmente até a versão 1.5 do Beehive, não é possível adicionar um email externo a um grupo de emails utilizando o Beekeeper.

Existe uma solução via Beectl:

add_external_contact --family_name Silva --display_name "Joao da Silva" --address BUSINESS_1:mailto:joao.silva@yourdomain.com

Criar um arquivo xml com estrutura conforme a imagem:



beectl modify_group --file yourxmlname.xml


Consultando os membros do grupo:

beectl list_groups --name EMPRESA --show MEMBERS

Proxy Reverso + Application Server + Ip errado nos logs

Para quem utiliza solução de proxy reverso juntamente com application server, já deve ter tido problemas com os logs. O IP que aparece é o do Proxy e não de quem fez a requisição HTTP.

Segue uma solução encontrada para o problema:


Criar o arquivo AdjustRemoteAddrAccordingToHeader.pm

package Apache::AdjustRemoteAddrAccordingToHeader;

sub handler
{
my $r = shift;
my $configuredValue = $r->dir_config ("UseIPFromHeader");
if ($configuredValue)
{
my $ip = $r->header_in($configuredValue);
if ($ip)
{
$r->connection->remote_ip($ip);
}
}
else
{
print STDERR "AdjustRemoteAddrAccordingToHeader: PerlSetVar UseIPFromHeader is not set, so I did not do anything\n";
}

# Adjust for Oracle HTTP Server and REMOTE_ADDR
# Remove this line if not necessary
$r->header_in("ClientIP", $r->connection->remote_ip());

return OK;
}

return 1;



Adicionar no httpd.conf

PerlRequire /u01/app/oracle/product/as10g/MidTier/Apache/Apache/conf/AdjustRemoteAddrAccordingToHeader.pm
PerlPostReadRequestHandler Apache::AdjustRemoteAddrAccordingToHeader
PerlSetVar UseIPFromHeader X-Forwarded-For

Oracle Audit

Como muitos DBA's, também gosto de guardar meus LOG's de auditoria dentro do banco de dados.

Para isso, o primeiro passo é criar uma tablespace que irá manter os logs (Isto server apenas para não inflar a tablespace System).

CREATE TABLESPACE TBSDAT_AUDITORIA DATAFILE SIZE 10M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10M MAXSIZE 8192M
LOGGING
ONLINE
PERMANENT
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL AUTOALLOCATE
BLOCKSIZE 8K
SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO
FLASHBACK ON;


select TABLESPACE_NAME from dba_segments where SEGMENT_NAME='AUD$'
Para alterar a tablespace, podemos proceder de 2 formas, dependendo da versão do banco de dados.

Utilizar a package DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT ou o script que está no DOC ID: 1019377.6

BEGIN
DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT.SET_AUDIT_TRAIL_LOCATION( AUDIT_TRAIL_TYPE => DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT.AUDIT_TRAIL_AUD_STD,AUDIT_TRAIL_LOCATION_VALUE => 'TBSDAT_AUDITORIA');
END;


select TABLESPACE_NAME from dba_segments where SEGMENT_NAME='AUD$'

Metalink - DOC ID: 804624.1
The associated LOB and LOB INDEX segments for AUD$ are not moved from the SYSTEM tablespace when the AUD$ table is moved to another tablespace using the DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT.SET_AUDIT_TRAIL_LOCATION procedure.


select owner,table_name,segment_name,tablespace_name from dba_lobs where table_name='AUD$'
select owner, table_name,index_name,index_type,tablespace_name from dba_indexes where table_name='AUD$'

alter table aud$ move lob (sqlbind) store as (tablespace TBSDAT_AUDITORIA);
alter table aud$ move lob (sqltext) store as (tablespace TBSDAT_AUDITORIA);

Finalmente alterar o parâmetro de inicialização:

alter system set audit_trail=db scope=spfile;
