RECOVERY USING STANDBY DATABASE
RECOVERY USING STANDBY DATABASE
In this post, I will demonstrate the use of standby database to restore a datafile which got
corrupted on primary.
In the following scenario we have OP1 primary database and standby database is OP2 and catalog
database is CDB. TNS entries for op1 and op2 are there on the machne hosting recovery catalog
database cdb. Now the plan is to recover a lost datafile of primary database from standby
database.....
OVERVIEW:
- Create Recovery Catalog
- Register Primary database with catalog.
- Connect to catalog and primary. Configure persistent RMAN settings for primary .
- Connect to catalog and standby. Configure persistent RMAN settings for standby .
- Switch logs on primary so that tablespace is created on standby also
- Corrupt the datafile fo tbs_Sales on primary.
- Connect to standby database as target database using RMAN.
- Connect to primary database as auxiliary .
- Take backup of tbs_sales from standby database so that backup file is created on primary.
- connect to catalog and primary.
- Catalog the backup file created earlier
- Restore/recover tablespace
IMPLEMENTATION:
-- Create Recovery Catalog --
Log in to CDB catalog and do the following
SQL> grant connect ,resource to catown identified by c;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> grant recovery_catalog_owner to catown;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> select name from v$datafile;

/u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdb/undotbs01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdb/users01.dbf
SQL> create tablespace cattbs datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdb/cat1a.dbf' size 300m;
Tablespace created.
SQL> alter user catown default tablespace cattbs quota unlimited on cattbs;

MIGRATE OUTLINES TO SQL MANAGEMENT BASE
MIGRATE OUTLINES TO SQL MANAGEMENT BASE
In this post, we will learn about outlines and more importantly in 11g Release 2 sometimes we need to migrate outlines from older versions to 11G... so thats what we will see .
_____________________________________________________-
Outlines can be created automatically by Oracle or manually for specific statements. The automatic creation of outlines is controlled using the create_stored_outlines parameter than can be set at session or instance level using the following commands.
ALTER SYSTEM SET create_stored_outlines=TRUE;
ALTER SESSION SET create_stored_outlines=TRUE;
Outlines can be generated for specific statements using the CREATE OUTLINE statement or the DBMS_OUTLN.CREATE_OUTLINE procedure and also we need to give privileges to the user who is doing this if he is not a DBA. The privileges are CREATE ANY OUTLINE and EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE .
Now let me show you a small demo
SQL> create outline outline_karan for category sales on select * from emp;
SQL> SELECT name, category, sql_text FROM user_outlines WHERE category = 'SALES';
Note that outline stores the information in the form of hints
SQL> SELECT node, stage, join_pos, hint FROM user_outline_hints WHERE name = 'OUTLINE_KARAN'
NODE STAGE JOIN_POS HINT
---------- ---------- ---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 1 1 FULL(@"SEL$1" "EMP"@"SEL$1")
1 1 0 OUTLINE_LEAF(@"SEL$1")
1 1 0 ALL_ROWS
1 1 0 DB_VERSION('11.2.0.1')
1 1 0 OPTIMIZER_FEATURES_ENABLE('11.2.0.1')
1 1 0 IGNORE_OPTIM_EMBEDDED_HINTS
## Now you see below the outline is unused because the query associated with outline is not fired.
]
SQL> SELECT name, category, used FROM user_outlines where name='OUTLINE_KARAN';
NAME CATEGORY USED
------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------
OUTLINE_KARAN SALES UNUSED
###Lets fire the query see
SQL> select * from emp;
## I have removed the 14 rows of the output to reduce the size of demo
### Note that outline is used when the query is executed (USED = USED)
SQL> SELECT name, category, used FROM user_outlines where name='OUTLINE_KARAN';
NAME CATEGORY USED
------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------
OUTLINE_KARAN SALES USED
## Now we will migrate information in the outlilne to SQL management base
-- Fine out the names of the outlines --
SQL> select name,sql_text from user_outlines ;
SQL>variable v1 clob;
SQL> begin
:v1 := dbms_spm.migrate_stored_outline(
attribute_name=>'outline_name',
attribute_value=>'OUTLINE_KARAN',fixed=>'NO');
end;
/
### NOTE := I had already give extra special privileges to scott who is doing this work, the privileges are CREATE ANY OUTLINE, ALTER ANY OUTLINE
ADMINISTER SQL MANAGEMENT OBJECT
###Now how can we determine whether stored outline was migrated or not.. See the following
SQL> select name,sql_text,migrated FROM user_outlines where name='OUTLINE_KARAN';
NAME SQL_TEXT MIGRATED
------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------

HOW TO CALL AN EXTERNAL C FUNCTION FROM WITHIN ORACLE
How to call an external C function from within Oracle
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
One very useful feature of Oracle is its ability to call external C procedures from within the database.
It's handy for creating interfaces to legacy systems.
The following procedure will demonstrate how to compile a simple C program, and how to configure the database to call it.
The C program will contain a single procedure for converting strings into uppercase.
Several layers of objects and configuration will be required to make this work:
C Program/library
(andy_lib.so)
|
Listener
(extproc)
|
Database library object
(andy_lib)
|
Database function
(andy_lib_upper)
This might seem a little daunting and over complicated, but it's actually quite logical and very simple.
To simplify the process, we will construct the test case in the same order as the diagram above.
To build this example you will need the following:
An oracle database (9i or later)
A working listener configuration
C compiler (gcc is used in the example)
A database user with 'create procedure' and 'create library' privileges
STEPS
--------
1. Create the C program
Using a text editor, create a file named andy_lib.c and paste the following C code into it:
#include <ctype.h>
int andy_upper(char *istr, char *ostr)
{
int i = 0;
while(istr[i])
{
ostr[i] = toupper(istr[i]);
i++;
}
return 0;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------
2. Compile the shared library and copy it to the Oracle home
To compile and link the library run these commands:
gcc -c andy_lib.c
ld -shared -o andy_lib.so andy_lib.o
The linker will probable create the library with rather excessive permissions.
I'd advise changing them:
chmod 600 andy_lib.so
Now, copy the shared library to the Oracle home:
cp andy_lib.so $ORACLE_HOME/bin/
---------------------------------------------------------------
3. Configure the listener and tnsnames
The listener will need to be configured to handle external procedures (extproc). My listener.ora looks like this:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME =/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = fermat)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
)
)
You will also need to add the following entry to your tnsnames.ora:
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)
Restart the listener and test the configuration with tnsping:
lsnrctl stop;
lsnrctl start;
tnsping EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA
----------------------------------------------------------
4. Create a database library object
The library object is a pointer to the library file that we copied into the Oracle home.
Run the following SQL to create it:
sql>create or replace library andy_lib
as '/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/bin/andy_lib.so';
/
----------------------------------------------------------
5. Create a database function
The C library in this example contains a single function, but in reality your library might contain several.
We need to create function objects that map onto each of the procedures in the C library:
create or replace function andy_lib_upper(p_istr in varchar2, p_ostr out varchar2)
return binary_integer
as external
library andy_lib
name "andy_upper"
language c
parameters (p_istr string, p_ostr string);
/
--------------------------------------------------
6. Test it
Cut and paste the following pl/sql into sqlplus.
It will pass a lowercase string into the C function...
set serveroutput on size 9999
declare
res binary_integer;
v_in CHAR(100);
v_out CHAR(100);
begin
v_in := 'hello world';
res := andy_lib_upper(v_in, v_out);
dbms_output.put_line(res);
dbms_output.put_line(v_in);
dbms_output.put_line(v_out);
end;
/
it works you will see the following:
hello world
HELLO WORLD

AUTOMATIC IMPORT USING FILEWATCHER
DATA IMPORT IN DATABASE USING FILE WATCHER
We want oracle to import all the objects belonging to HR schema automatically whenever a .dmp file arrives in a specified folder on a system. To implement it we will use filewatcher which is a new scheduler object in oracle 11g. It enables a new type of event-based job that is triggered by the arrival of a file in a specified location. File watchers can be defined to monitor locations on the local server and remote servers, provided they have an agent installed on them.
-- OVERVIEW --
- Setup
- Create a file watcher
- Create a scheduler program to access the event raised by the file watcher.
- Create directory object named FILE_WATCHER which maps to os path '/tmp/test'
- Copy the .dmp file in /tmp/test location
- Check that all objects belonging to HR schema have been imported into database.
- IMPLEMENTATION -
- SETUP -
HR>CREATE TABLE TEST AS SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES;
$mkdir /u01/test
$mkdir /tmp/test
SYS>CREATE DIRECTORY ABC AS '/u01/test';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY ABC TO HR;
Now export hr schema to a dump file .
$ expdp hr/hr directory=abc dumpfile=hr_Schema.dmp logfile=abc.log reuse_dumpfiles=true
-- CREATE FILE WATCHER
By default, file watchers only check for the arrival of files every 10 minutes, but this default interval can be changed by issuing the following statement.
CONN / AS SYSDBA
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_attribute(
'file_watcher_schedule',
'repeat_interval',
'freq=minutely; interval=1');
END;
/
I've set the interval to 1 minute for these tests, but I would probably not set it that low in a production system.
The file watcher will need access to the OS to check for files, so we must create a credential for it to log on with. I'm going to use the Oracle software owner, but for a real system I would advise using the lowest privileged user possible.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_credential(
credential_name => 'local_credential',
username => 'oracle',
password => 'oracle');
END;
/
Next we create the file watcher itself. Using a "?" in the directory_path parameter signifies the ORACLE_HOME. The file_name parameter can reference a specific file name or a wildcard. Setting the destination parameter to NULL indicates the local server. For remote servers set it to a valid external destination, as shown by the ALL_SCHEDULER_EXTERNAL_DESTS view.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_file_watcher(
file_watcher_name => 'test_file_watcher',
directory_path => '/tmp/test',
file_name => '*.dmp',
credential_name => 'local_credential',
destination => NULL,
enabled => FALSE);
END;
/
-- CREATE A SCHEDULER PROGRAM TO ACCESS THE EVENT RAISED BY FILE WATCHER
The program must reference the event_message to retrieve information about the file, such as its name.Through a metadata argument, the Scheduler can pass to an event-based job the message content of the event that started the job. The following rules apply
- The job must use a named program of type STORED_PROCEDURE.
- One of the named program's arguments must be a metadata argument with metadata_attribute set to EVENT_MESSAGE.
- The stored procedure that implements the program must have an argument at the position corresponding to the named program's metadata argument. The argument type must be the data type of the queue where your application queues the job-start event.
If you use the RUN_JOB procedure to manually run a job that has an EVENT_MESSAGE metadata argument, the value passed to that argument is NULL.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_program(
program_name => 'file_watcher_test_prog',
program_type => 'stored_procedure',
program_action => 'file_watcher_test_proc',
number_of_arguments => 1,
enabled => FALSE);
END;
/
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.define_metadata_argument(
program_name => 'file_watcher_test_prog',
metadata_attribute => 'event_message',
argument_position => 1);
END;
/
Next we define the stored procedure that we referenced in the program definition. It must accept and argument of the SCHEDULER_FILEWATCHER_RESULT type. the procedure created here will import all the hr user objects from export file in hr user schema
create or replace procedure file_watcher_test_proc(p_sfwr sys.scheduler_filewatcher_result)
as
file_name varchar2(98);
handle number;
begin
file_name:=p_sfwr.actual_file_name;
handle := dbms_datapump.open('IMPORT','SCHEMA');
dbms_datapump.add_file(handle,file_name,'FILE_WATCHER');
dbms_datapump.metadata_filter(handle,'SCHEMA_EXPR','= ''HR''');
dbms_datapump.set_parallel(handle,4);
dbms_datapump.start_job(handle);
dbms_datapump.detach(handle);
end;
/
Next we create a job that references the objects we've just created. The queue_spec parameter is set to the name of the file watcher, while the program_name parameter is set to the name of the program object we defined, not the procedure name.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job(
job_name => 'file_watcher_test_job',
program_name => 'file_watcher_test_prog',
event_condition => NULL,
queue_spec => 'test_file_watcher',
auto_drop => FALSE,
enabled => FALSE);
END;
/
By default, the arrival of new files will be ignored if the job is already running. If you need the job to fire for each new arrival, regardless of whether the job is already running or not, set thePARALLEL_INSTANCES attribute for the job to true. The job will then be run as a lightweight job.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_attribute('file_watcher_test_job','parallel_instances',TRUE);
END;
/
With all the pieces in place, we can now enable all the objects we created.
EXEC DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('test_file_watcher');
EXEC DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('file_watcher_test_prog');
EXEC DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('file_watcher_test_job');
- CREATE DIRECTORY OBJECT NAMED FILE_WATCHER WHICH MAPS TO OS PATH '/tmp/test'
create directory file_watcher as '/tmp/test';
Information about file watchers is available from the *_SCHEDULER_FILE_WATCHERS views.
