So, you can flashback database in the primary and replay back without affecting the standby database.

 

Flashback standby database, recover data and bring back to recovery mode

Get the current SCN from the standby database;


SQL> select open_mode from v$database;

OPEN_MODE

--------------------

READ ONLY WITH APPLY

SQL> select current_scn from v$database;

CURRENT_SCN

-----------

7731079

SQL> select count(*) from thomas.t;

COUNT(*)

----------

1

The record is existing in THOMAS.T table and let us truncate that table in  primary.


SQL> conn thomas/thomas

Connected.

SQL> select count(*) from t;

COUNT(*)

----------

1

SQL> truncate table t;

Table truncated.

SQL> select count(*) from t;

COUNT(*)

----------

0

Changes are propagated to the standby.


SQL> conn thomas/thomas

Connected.

SQL> select count(*) from t;

COUNT(*)

----------

Now flashback database in standby and recover the data.


SQL> conn / as sysdba

Now the standby is sync with the primary. Inserted two records to the T table in primary.

 SQL> conn thomas/thomas

New parameter in 12c,  HEAT_MAP  ON/OFF by default OFF.  When turn on, Oracle tracks modifications to all segments and invoke a defined ILM (Information Lifecyle Management) policy.  This parameter also enables ADO ( Automatic Data Optimization) feature.

SQL> show parameter heat_map

In DBA_TABLES – ACTIVITY_TRACKING column is specifies the heat map is enabled for a table.

Disable adaptive cursor sharing :              _optim_peek_user_binds = FALSE

A cursor in a session can OPEN or closed.  A closed cursor may be existing in the session cache, based on the number of executions by that session.

The column KGLLKCTP tell us the status of the cursor, If it is OPEN, the cursor is still OPEN.  It may be cached or not cached.  A closed cursor can be cached, and if it is cached, the value of KGLLKCTP will be “SESSION CURSOR CACHED”.

 

In Oracle 12c, new mandatory process: LREG – Listener Registration

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17633/process.htm#CHDJJAEH

New parameter:  PROCESSOR_GROUP_NAME. CPU and memory can be grouped in OS level and assign to the database, so that Oracle can be restricted to use a certain CPUs/memory in OS level.  In solaris CPU grouping is known as Resource Pools and in Linux – Control Groups (CGroups).

_cursor_features_enabled is the parameter to enable the pacth : 11724916.  This patch is applicable both in 11.1.0.7 and 11.2.0.2.  The objective of this patch is to fix extensive Mutex S Contention due to large number of SQL version count.

In 11.1.0.7

_cursor_features_enabled=18

events= "106001 trace name context forever, level 500"

 

In 11.2.0.2

_cursor_features_enabled=1026  => 26 or 1026 – need to check

events= "106001 trace name context forever, level 1024"

Impact of granule size, sub-pools on various memory structures

http://www.pythian.com/blog/why-is-oracle-ignoring-my-memory-parameters/

14-Oct

The hidden parameter _kghdsidx_count defines the number of sub-pools in the shared pool, can be up to 7 sub-pools.

You can see the number of sub-pools using


select count(kghluidx) num_subpools

from x$kghlu;

The number of shared pool sub-pools are decided by

  • The number of CPUs in the server
  • Size of the SGA allocated

To get the heartbeat miscount settings in CRS cluster – between the Hub nodes

$ crsctl get css misscount

To get the miscount between the leaf node and a Hub node which the leaf node is connected which defaults to 30 seconds

$ crsctl get css leafmisscount

Both miscount configuration can be set manually

$ crsctl set css misscount 25

$ crsctl set css leafmisscount 25

You need to set the values in Hub node NOT from the leaf node as the leaf node is not connected to OCR and Voting disk

In 12cR1, CRS can be run in two modes

  • Standard – 11gR2 way
  • Flex Cluster – 12cR1 new feature
    • A cluster node will either a Hub node or leaf node
    • A hub node will be connected the storage, including OCR and Voting disk – exactly behave like a 11gR2 cluster node
    • A leaf node will be connected to a Hub node and no direct interaction with storage including OCR or voting disk
    • GNS must be running to enable the flux cluster
    • Known as Hub - and – spoke architecture
    • There can be upto 64 hub nodes

You can get current mode of a cluster

$ crsctl get cluster mode status

To get the Hub size of the cluster

$ crsctl get cluster hubsize

List all node roles

$ crsctl get node role status –all

$ crsctl get node role status

To check GNS is running or not

$ crsctl status gns

To enable flux cluster

$ crsctl set cluster mode flex

To configure GNS

$ crsctl add gns –vip <VIP name> | IP address

To start GNS

$ crsctl start gns

To set a node as hub or leaf node

$ crsctl set node role { leaf | hub }

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/rac.121/e17886/bigcluster.htm

To get the configuration of VIP from a Hub node

$ srvctl config vip –n <node anme>

To configure a VIP in a Hub node

$ srvctl add vip –n <node name> -A <IP>/<net mask> /<Network interface> -k <Network number>

Some excellent notes on GNS

http://martincarstenbach.wordpress.com/2009/10/02/build-your-own-11-2-rac-system-part-ii-dns-dhcp-for-gns/

To check GNS before CRS  I nstallation – precheck

$ runcluvfy comp gns –precrsinst –domain <sub domain> -vip <ip addresss> -verbose  -n <nodename>

Post installation check

$ cluvfy comp gns –postcrsinst -verbose

To enable GNS, post CRS installaltion

$ srvctl config gns –a

To check GNC configuration and  list dynamically allocated IPs

$srvctl config gns -l

ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

The problem was – I ran the catalog and catproc in a traditional way so that it wasn’t run in the PDB$SEED database.  So, I have to run the these scripts as below to execute both in CDB and all PDBs.


PERL5LIB=$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin:$PERL5LIB; export PERL5LIB

perl $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catcon.pl -u SYS -d $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin -b catalog_output catalog.sql

perl $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catcon.pl -u SYS -d $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin -b catproc_output catproc.sql

perl $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catcon.pl -u system/oracle -d $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin -b pupbld_output pupbld.sql

Again I stuck with another issue, my CATPROC session crashed with below error.  I felt, the reason was, there were less free memory and session got crashed.  I shutdown another running database to make room and it went very well.


No errors.

ERROR:

ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE

CREATE OR REPLACE package body dbms_stats wrapped

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

No errors.

After running above 3 scripts using the new way, I was able to create my first plubggable database!
