This looks like an ORA-24418 out of sessions error. However when I check the database, there are only 120 of the 1200 available sessions being consumed. …

Patching 19.3 to 19.6

I’m not going to go through the entire patching process, there are lots of other sites that can walk you through this. What I am going to talk about is some issues that I had after patching. The patch to the binaries went fine, however when I tried to run Datapatch against my database, I …

wrong number or types of arguments in call to ‘CHECKDATAFILEFORSTANDBY’

I started seeing this today in one of our databases I found metalink article 2360045.1 which states that it is a catalog version mismatch, however running upgrade catalog doesn’t resolve the problem. I remember hitting this error a long time ago, and although I can’f find the reason why, running upgrade catalog two times in …

TDE Wallet on RAC

So I have been having trouble getting the oracle wallet to auto open, and it’s always messed up in gv$encryption_wallet

select * from gv$encryption_wallet;

According to Oracle this is is because TNS_ADMIN is not set, so I set it and several other suggested variables.

$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "ORACLE_UNQNAME=oradb1"
$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle"
$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/"
$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/db/network/admin/"

$ srvctl getenv database -d oradb1
oradb1:
ORACLE_UNQNAME=oradb1
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/db/network/admin/

$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "ORACLE_UNQNAME=oradb1"

$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/db/network/admin/"

$ srvctl getenv database -d oradb1

oradb1:

After restarting the database, the ACFS volume now shows

pythonGit private repository

I built an online editor for modifying some files. They need to be checked into git after they are edited. Unfortunately there is no direct way of setting the username and password for the git repository. Instead you need to use http authentication, and put the username and password into the URL of the repository. This is just a little code snippet of what I needed to do to update the file. I left out the middle part updating the file, instead just put some junk code in to add a new line.

import git
import urllib.parse 
# Set the variables we are going to need
# These are completely made up, so won't run as written
l_git_username = 'amyers'
l_git_password = urllib.parse.quote('myP@$$W0rd')
l_git_repo = 'https://git.balddba.com/scm/or/someproject.git'
l_tmp_dir = '/tmp/gitproject/'
l_file_to_update = tns_tmp_dir + 'pyfile.py'

# insert the username and password, URL Encode any special characters
l_git_repo = l_repo[:8] + l_git_username + ':' + l_git_password + '@' + l_repo[8:]

# Clone the repository
git.Repo.clone_from(l_git_repo, l_tmp_dir, env={'GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY': '1'})
repo = git.Repo(l_tmp_dir)

#Make some file modification
with open(l_file_to_update, 'a') as f:
  f.write("This is a new line\n")

# Commit the file back to the repository
l_commit_message = 'File modified in python'
repo.index.commit(l_commit_message)
origin = repo.remote(name='origin')
origin.push(env={'GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY': '1'})

import git

import urllib.parse

# Set the variables we are going to need

# These are completely made up, so won't run as written

l_git_username = 'amyers'

l_git_password = urllib.parse.quote('myP@$$W0rd')

l_git_repo = 'https://git.balddba.com/scm/or/someproject.git'

l_tmp_dir = '/tmp/gitproject/'

l_file_to_update = tns_tmp_dir + 'pyfile.py'

# insert the username and password, URL Encode any special characters

I am writing a web portal for a bunch of database tasks, and storing information in an oracle database. I am creating a connection pool but seeing this error.

2020-04-30T08:52:35.861481-0400 ERROR ORA-24418: Cannot open further sessions.

Traceback (most recent call last):

This looks like an ORA-24418 out of sessions error. However when I check the database, there are only 120 of the 1200 available sessions being consumed. The alert logs don’t show any error at all which is really confusing.

After some digging, I found a bug report which states you will an ORA-24418 error if the pool is in the process of being resized.

Here is my session pool creation

pools = cx_Oracle.SessionPool(l_user,l_pass, l_server + '/' + l_service, encoding="UTF-8", min=5, max=50, increment=1, threaded=True)

1	pools = cx_Oracle.SessionPool(l_user,l_pass, l_server + '/' + l_service, encoding="UTF-8", min=5, max=50, increment=1, threaded=True)

adding the set mode parameter to the pool creation will cause a call to wait while a connection pool is started or resized instead of immediately erring out.

pool = cx_Oracle.SessionPool(l_user,l_pass, l_server + '/' + l_service, encoding="UTF-8", min=5, max=50, increment=1, threaded=True, setmode = cx_Oracle.SPOOL_ATTRVAL_WAIT)

1 2	pool = cx_Oracle.SessionPool(l_user,l_pass, l_server + '/' + l_service, encoding="UTF-8", min=5, max=50, increment=1, threaded=True, setmode = cx_Oracle.SPOOL_ATTRVAL_WAIT)

Problem solved

I have see this error before when the parameter remote_listener is not set on a database, but this is a single instance database.

I opened an SR with oracle support. After some trouble shooting, they recommended I remove the trailing slash from my ORACLE_HOME variable and restart the database.

So change
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/19c/dbhome_1/
to
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/19c/dbhome_1

after restarting the database, I got a new error

So some progress. Something was causing a core dump and the connection was terminated.

Looking at the script it was failing on, prvtgwm.sql, that script is all related to the schema gsmadmin_internal

Looking at the patching log, I see the following

GRANT datapump_exp_full_database TO package gsmadmin_internal.exchange
                                                              *

wrong number or types of arguments in call to ‘CHECKDATAFILEFORSTANDBY’

Categories:

I started seeing this today in one of our databases

RMAN> resync catalog;

RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

I found metalink article 2360045.1 which states that it is a catalog version mismatch, however running upgrade catalog doesn’t resolve the problem.

I remember hitting this error a long time ago, and although I can’f find the reason why, running upgrade catalog two times in a row seems to fix the problem (so typing upgrade catalog 4 times).

TDE Wallet on RAC

by Aaron

So I have been having trouble getting the oracle wallet to auto open, and it’s always messed up in gv$encryption_wallet

select * from gv$encryption_wallet;

   INST_ID WRL_TYPE		WRL_PARAMETER STATUS   WALLET_TYPE   WALLET_OR  FULLY_BAC    CON_ID

         3 FILE			NOT_AVAILABLE          UNKNOWN       SINGLE     UNDEFINED    0
         2 FILE			NOT_AVAILABLE          UNKNOWN       SINGLE     UNDEFINED    0

select * from gv$encryption_wallet;

INST_ID WRL_TYPE WRL_PARAMETER STATUS WALLET_TYPE WALLET_OR FULLY_BAC CON_ID

4 FILE OPEN AUTOLOGIN SINGLE NO 0

1 FILE OPEN AUTOLOGIN SINGLE NO 0

3 FILE NOT_AVAILABLE UNKNOWN SINGLE UNDEFINED 0

2 FILE NOT_AVAILABLE UNKNOWN SINGLE UNDEFINED 0

According to Oracle this is is because TNS_ADMIN is not set, so I set it and several other suggested variables.

$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "ORACLE_UNQNAME=oradb1"
$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle"
$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/"
$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/db/network/admin/"

$ srvctl getenv database -d oradb1
oradb1:
ORACLE_UNQNAME=oradb1
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/db/network/admin/
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/

$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "ORACLE_UNQNAME=oradb1"

$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle"

$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/"

$ srvctl setenv database -d oradb1 -T "TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/db/network/admin/"

$ srvctl getenv database -d oradb1

oradb1:

ORACLE_UNQNAME=oradb1

TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/db/network/admin/

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/

After restarting the database, the ACFS volume now shows

I noticed a long running query in one of my databases this morning.

Its computing tablespace size. The average runtime is 272.03 sec, or 4.5 minutes. This isn’t right, its running in a few seconds in other databases.

I started looking at the query in OEM, and noticed almost all the execution time was being spent on a FTS of X$KTFBUE.

A little googling turned up the following article:

My issue appears to be the same, there are not statistics on teh X$KTFBUE table.

The other night on of my databases started throwing the following error.

DBGMISC: (146) (krmstrim)

The solution here is actually quite simple, the rout table, which stores previous rman output from previous runs so that it can displayed in OEM had excessive rows in it. Since we don’t really use OEM to track our rman backups, we can safely purge them.

SQL> truncate table rout ; 
SQL> truncate table rsr ;

1 2	SQL> truncate table rout ; SQL> truncate table rsr ;

This resolved our issue. I was able to resync the catalog with out any further errors.

New Server

Site Information

by Aaron

My old web server has been retired. I have been moving sites the last couple of days to a new box. I took the time to virtualize the machine and set everything up properly. The old box was starting to show it’s age with lots of modified configuration files and outdated software. The website seems to be loading significantly faster now too.

Monitoring Online ASM Datafile Moves

Categories:

Uncategorized

by Aaron

I’m moving a ~7TB database online as the development group that uses it doesn’t want to take any down time. Thankfully the database isn’t horribly active right now so moving the data files online isn’t causing a huge problem. The only other times I have moved data files online was in an incredibly busy database and it could take half a day per data file.

I don’t want them to continually bother me so I gave them a view that they could monitor the process through. Here are the caveat, I know when the move started, that is hard coded, also my volume names are easy to tell if they are on flash storage or spinning media as they are two different asm pools, so extracting the second character of the file name yields a ‘D’ or an ‘F’ where D is spinning media and F is flash media.

create or replace view storage_migration_status
                 'D', 'Spinning Media',
                 'F', 'Flash Media')
             AS Metric,

Then they can check on the stats for themselves

SYS oradb1> select * from storage_migration_status;

METRIC                   VALUE
------------------------ ----------------------------------------------
Spinning Media           6451 GB
Flash Media              128 GB
Average Transfer Speed   99 GB/hr
Estimated time remaining 2.8 Days

SYS oradb1> select * from storage_migration_status;

METRIC VALUE

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

Spinning Media 6451 GB

Flash Media 128 GB

Average Transfer Speed 99 GB/hr

Estimated time remaining 2.8 Days

It’s not pretty but it gets the job done, leaving me with less contact with people, which is great 🙂

Reporting Database Sizes

Databases, OEM, OEM 13c, Oracle, SQL

by Aaron

I frequently need to pull size information about a large number of databases. OEM has an interesting capacity planning feature, but some times I just want the raw data. This is the base query I start with and add on additional information or slice it in different ways to fit what I need. I run this in the OEM repository.

col target_name for 130
SELECT target_name, SUM (maximum)
    FROM sysman.mgmt$metric_daily t
   WHERE     target_type IN ('oracle_database', 'rac_database')
         AND metric_column IN ('spaceAllocated')
         AND TRUNC (rollup_timestamp) = TRUNC (SYSDATE) - 1
         AND UPPER (target_name) LIKE '%&1%'
GROUP BY target_name
ORDER BY target_name

col target_name for 130

SELECT target_name, SUM (maximum)

FROM sysman.mgmt$metric_daily t

WHERE target_type IN ('oracle_database', 'rac_database')

AND metric_column IN ('spaceAllocated')

AND TRUNC (rollup_timestamp) = TRUNC (SYSDATE) - 1

AND UPPER (target_name) LIKE '%&1%'

GROUP BY target_name

ORDER BY target_name

This gives you the size, by database as of the previous day.
