How to Execute Process Flow from SQL*Plus

1. Introduction :
Process flow allows us to execute mappings, tranformations ...
Using Sql*Plus, you can execute the process flows, and you can find belw the scripts to use for 9i, 10g and 11g.

10g Physical Standby Data Guard configuration

I. Introduction

According to oracle note Oracle D ata Guard ensures high availability, data protection, and disaster recovery for enterprise data. Data Guard provides a comprehensive set of services that create, maintain, manage, and monitor one or more standby databases to enable production Oracle databases to survive disasters and data corruptions. Data Guard maintains these standby databases as transactionally consistent copies of the production database. Then, if the production database becomes unavailable because of a planned or an unplanned outage, Data Guard can switch any standby database to the production role, minimizing the downtime associated with the outage. Data Guard can be used with traditional backup, restoration, and cluster techniques to provide a high level of data protection and data availability.

A standby database can be either a physical standby database or a logical standby database:

Physical standby database
Provides a physically identical copy of the primary database, with on disk database structures that are identical to the primary database on a block-for-block basis. The database schema, including indexes, are the same. A physical standby database is kept synchronized with the primary database, though Redo Apply, which recovers the redo data received from the primary database and applies the redo to the physical standby database.
A physical standby database can be used for business purposes other than disaster recovery on a limited basis.
Logical standby database
Contains the same logical information as the production database, although the physical organization and structure of the data can be different. The logical standby database is kept synchronized with the primary database though SQL Apply, which transforms the data in the redo received from the primary database into SQL statements and then executing the SQL statements on the standby database.
A logical standby database can be used for other business purposes in addition to disaster recovery requirements. This allows users to access a logical standby database for queries and reporting purposes at any time. Also, using a logical standby database, you can upgrade Oracle Database software and patch sets with almost no downtime. Thus, a logical standby database can be used concurrently for data protection, reporting, and database upgrades.

Figure 1-1 Typical Data Guard Configuration

Complete article : (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/concepts.htm)

For my example, the primary database is ORALNDO (host=hots1), and the standby is NASHVILL (host=hots2).
The OS is linux x86_64 and the oracle version is 10.2.0.5.

II. Configuration

1. Ensure that ORLANDO is in archivelog mode, otherwise convert it.

remote_login_passwordfile =exclusive.
Enable the logging mode

SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;

2. Create Standby Redo Logs (optional)
on primary db ORALNDO :
SQL> select group#, thread#, bytes, members from v$log;
GROUP# THREAD# BYTES MEMBERS
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
1 1 52428800 2
2 1 52428800 2
3 1 52428800 2

create standby redo log : (# of online redo log file groups on primary + 1) * maximum # of threads
for oralndo : threads = 1 because no RAC
The number of standby redo logs required for the physical standby database in this example is (3 + 1) * 1 = 4 at 50MB each.

From the primary database, connect as SYS and run the following to create four standby redo log file groups:
SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 4 size 50m;
Database altered.
SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 5 size 50m;
Database altered.
SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 6 size 50m;
Database altered.
SQL> alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 7 size 50m;
Database altered.
sql > select group#, type, member from v$logfile order by group#, member;

....

Access to MySql from Oracle

A. Introduction
According to Oracle note, Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC is intended for low-end data integration solutions requiring the dynamic query capability to connect from an Oracle database to non-Oracle systems. Any data source compatible with the ODBC standards described in this chapter can be accessed using Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC.

Figure 1-1 shows an example of a configuration in which an Oracle and non-Oracle database are on separate machines, communicating through Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC. The client connects to the non-Oracle system through a network.

Figure 1-1 Oracle and Non-Oracle Systems on a Separate Machines

Description of "Figure 1-1 Oracle and Non-Oracle Systems on a Separate Machines"

complete article :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/gateways.111/e10311/intro.htm#CEGCBAIE.

B. Installation
You need to install an ODBC driver to use Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC.
In my case, i have downloaded mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.10-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm from //www.mysql.org
and installed it on my Oracle server (RedHat x86_64), /usr/lib64.

C. Environnement
Oracle host : Linux Redhat x86_64
Oracle version : 11.2.0.1

Mysql server : Linux Redhat x86_64
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "%version%";
+-------------------------+---------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-------------------------+---------------------+
| protocol_version | 10 |
| version | 5.1.47 |
| version_comment | Source distribution |
| version_compile_machine | x86_64 |
| version_compile_os | redhat-linux-gnu |
+-------------------------+---------------------+

D. Set up

1. /etc/odbc.ini

Using the root user, i have to instantiate the odbc.ini

I'm be using the [mysql] DSN entry.

[mysql]
Driver   = /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so
UsageCount        = 1
DATABASE               = my_mysql_db
PORT                         = 3306
SERVER                    = @IP MySql Host
USER        = mysl_user
PASSWORD              = pwd_mysl_user
CHARSET          = utf8 ---------------> used while creating tables on my_mysl_db
TRACE         = OFF
TDS_Version         = 8

2. Test the MySql ODBC Driver
You can easily test the MySql driver using the unixODBC tool : isql
[oracle@xxxx etc]$ isql mysql -v

+---------------------------------------+

| Connected! |

| |

| sql-statement |

| help [tablename] |

| quit |

| |

+---------------------------------------+

2. Configure dg4odbc process.

2.1 The listener needs a new entry :

SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME=dg4odbc)
(ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
(PROGRAM=dg4odbc)
(ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/
:/usr/lib64/:/usr/lib/
:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib)
)

[oracle@xxxx etc]$ lsnrctl reload
LSNRCTL for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production on 23-MAR-2012 13:44:22
Copyright (c) 1991, 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxxx)(PORT=1521)))
The command completed successfully
[oracle@xxx etc]$

2.2 The tnsnames needs a new entry :

dg4odbc=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxxx)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=dg4odbc))
(HS=OK)
)

The (HS=OK) parameter must be outside the SID section and specifies that this connector

uses the Oracle Heterogeneous Service Option.

[oracle@SRVD-SSM etc]$ tnsping dg4odbc
TNS Ping Utility for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production on 23-MAR-2012 13:45:04
Copyright (c) 1997, 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Used parameter files:
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxxx)(PORT=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=dg4odbc)) (HS=OK))
OK (0 msec).

2.3 init.ora

The SID is also relevant for the init.ora file of the gateway. The name of the file is init.ora.  In this example it is called  initdg4odbc.ora.

The file is located at $ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin.

/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/hs/admin/initdg4odbc.ora :
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=mysql ----------> odbc.ini    [mysql]
 HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=0
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME=/usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so
HS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P15
HS_FDS_SQLLEN_INTERPRETATION=64
set ODBCINI=/etc/odbc.ini
set ODBCSYSINI=/etc

2.4 Configuring the environment:
I create a database link from my oracle user to the mysql user :

create database link linkmysql
connect to "mysl_user" -------------------> odbc.ini USER = mysl_user
identified by "pwd_mysl_user" -------------------> odbc.ini PASSWORD = pwd_mysl_user
using 'dg4odbc';

Username and password must be in double quotes !!

2.5 Test
in the mysql database, i create the table my_sql_table (id number, dest char(5)), and i insert the following data :
id dest
---- ----
1 dest1
2 dest2

from my oracle user, i execute : select * from " my_sql_table"@ linkmysql;

SQL> select * from " my_sql_table"@linkmysql;
ERROR:
ORA-28528: Heterogeneous Services datatype conversion error
ORA-02063: preceding line from LINKMYSQL
no rows selected
SQL>

To avoid the ORA-28528 error add to the initdg4odbc.ora : HS_FDS_FETCh_ROWS=1
Metalink note [ID 1080048.1].

connect with a new oracle session :

SQL> select * from " my_sql_table"@linkmysql;

id dest
---- ----
1 dest1
2 dest2

SQL>

Oracle active Data Guard for standby database : RMAN

You can use Oracle active Data Guard to create a physical standby database by using RMAN backups.
For my example, the primary database is STATTAR (host=hots1), and the standby is STATSTDB (host=hots2).
The OS is linux x86_64 and the oracle version is 11.2.0.1.

I. Set up Standby database

1. Ensure that STATTAR is in archivelog mode, otherwise convert it.

2. Enable the logging mode

SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;

3. do a complete backup of STATTAR
export ORACLE_SID=STATTAR
rman target /
RMAN> backup database plus archivelog;

4. tnsnames
STATSTDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host2)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = STATSTDB)
)
)

5. listner (host2)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = STATSTDB )
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
(SID_NAME = STATSTDB )
)

Check with the SQL*Net configuration using the following commands on the Primary AND Standby

from host1 server, check the communication beetween the 2 databases :

tnsping STATSTDB tnsping STATTAR

6. on host2, create the directories for data, controlfile and redo log files
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/ STATSTDB /adump
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/ STATSTDB /dpdump
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/ STATSTDB /pfile
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/ STATSTDB /scripts
mkdir -p /u02/oracle/oradata/ STATSTDB /controlfile/
mkdir -p /u03/oracle/oradata/ STATSTDB /controlfile/
mkdir -p /u04/oracle/oradata/ STATSTDB /controlfile/
mkdir -p /u02/oracle/oradata/ STATSTDB /data_system
mkdir -p /u02/oracle/oradata/ STATSTDB /data
mkdir -p /u02/oracle/oradata/ STATSTDB /data
mkdir -p /u03/oracle/oradata/ STATSTDB /data
mkdir -p /u04/oracle/oradata/ STATSTDB /data
mkdir -p /u02/oracle/oradata/ STATSTDB /redo
mkdir -p /u03/oracle/oradata/ STATSTDB /redo
mkdir -p /u04/oracle/oradata/ STATSTDB /redo

7. create pfile for standby (host2)
db_name=STATTAR
db_unique_name=STATSTDB
REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE='EXCLUSIVE'
db_block_size=8192
memory_max_target=1500M
memory_target=1500M

8. create pwdfile : the same as the target DB (host2)
orapwd file=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/orapw STATSTDB password=<syspwd>

9. startup STATSTDB in nomount mode
export ORACLE_SID=STATSTDB
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> startup nomount pfile='/u01/app/oracle/admin/STATSTDB/pfile/STATSTDB_init.ora';

10. Create stanby redo log on the on primary db STATTAR

SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 4 ('/u02/oracle/oradata/ STATTAR /redostdb.ora') size 50M;

11. Modify the primary initialization parameter for dataguard on primary db STATTAR
-- primary DB

SQL> alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(STATTAR,STATSTDB)';
System altered.

SQL> alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1='LOCATION=/u06/oracle/oradata/STATTAR/archive VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=STATTAR';

II. Manage Standby database

1. Stop the managed recovery process and open STATSTDB:
export ORACLE_SID=STATSTDB
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> select * from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NUMBER INSTANCE_NAME
--------------- ----------------
HOST_NAME
----------------------------------------------------------------
VERSION STARTUP_T STATUS PAR THREAD# ARCHIVE LOG_SWITCH_WAIT
----------------- --------- ------------ --- ---------- ------- ---------------
LOGINS SHU DATABASE_STATUS INSTANCE_ROLE ACTIVE_ST BLO
---------- --- ----------------- ------------------ --------- ---
1 STATSTDB
pprod_db.local
11.2.0.1.0 15-MAR-12 MOUNTED NO 1 STARTED
ALLOWED NO ACTIVE PRIMARY_INSTANCE NORMAL NO
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
Database altered.
SQL> SQL> alter database open;
Database altered.
SQL>

2. Restart the managed recovery process

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database 
             using current logfile disconnect;

3. Test the active data guard:
on the primary database for user SCOTT:

create table my_test (id number);
insert into my_test(id) vlaues (1);
commit;
witth sys user : alter system switch logfile;

on the auxiliary database :
the table my_test is created with one record.

Duplicate Database on the Same Host Using RMAN

You can use RMAN to create a duplicate database on the same server by using RMAN backups.
For my example, the target database is STATTAR, and the duplicate is STATDUP.
The OS is linux x86_64 and the oracle version is 11.2.0.1.

1. Ensure that STATTAR is in archivelog mode, otherwise convert it.

2. Enable the logging mode

SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;

3. do a complete backup of STATTAR
export ORACLE_SID=STATTAR
rman target /
RMAN> backup database plus archivelog;

4. tnsnames
STATDUP =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxxx)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = STATDUP)
)
)

5. listner
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = STATDUP)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
(SID_NAME = STATDUP)
)

6. create the directories for data, controlfile and redo log files
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/STATDUP/adump
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/STATDUP/dpdump
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/STATDUP/pfile
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/STATDUP/scripts
mkdir -p /u02/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/controlfile/
mkdir -p /u03/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/controlfile/
mkdir -p /u04/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/controlfile/
mkdir -p /u02/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/data_system
mkdir -p /u02/oracle/oradata/STATTAR/data
mkdir -p /u02/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/data
mkdir -p /u03/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/data
mkdir -p /u04/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/data
mkdir -p /u02/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/redo
mkdir -p /u03/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/redo
mkdir -p /u04/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/redo

7. create pfile
db_name=STATDUP
db_block_size=8192
compatible='11.2.0.0.0'
remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive
control_files = ('/u02/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/controlfile/control01.ctl',
'/u03/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/controlfile/control01.ctl',
'/u04/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/controlfile/control01.ctl')
db_file_name_convert = ('/u02/oracle/oradata/STATTAR/data_system',
'/u02/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/data_system',
'/u02/oracle/oradata/STATTAR/data',
'/u02/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/data',
'/u03/oracle/oradata/STATTAR/data',
'/u03/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/data',
'/u04/oracle/oradata/STATTAR/data',
'/u04/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/data'
)
log_file_name_convert = ('/u02/oracle/oradata/STATTAR/redo',
'/u02/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/redo',
'/u03/oracle/oradata/STATTAR/redo',
'/u03/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/redo',
'/u04/oracle/oradata/STATTAR/redo',
'/u04/oracle/oradata/STATDUP/redo'
)

8. create pwdfile : the same as the target DB
orapwd file=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/orapwSTATDUP password=<syspwd>

9. startup STATDUP in nomount mode
export ORACLE_SID=STATDUP
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> startup nomount pfile='/u01/app/oracle/admin/STATDUP/pfile/STATDUP_init.ora';

10. duplicate the target DB
export ORACLE_SID=STATDUP
rman target sys/<syspwd>@STATTAR auxiliary/
