Windows :: Client Logging - See What Commands Are Being Sent By Process?
Nov 4, 2011
I am trying to trouleshoot an issue with Oracle and want to see what commands are being sent by by process. By reading the documentation it appears there is client logging to do this but I can not get it to work. I added the following commands to my SQLNET.ORA file but no log file is created:
tnsping.trace_directory = C:appproduct11.2.0client_4
etwork race
tnsping.trace_level = admin
trace_level_client = user
trace_directory_client = C:log
log_directory_client = C:log
trace_unique_client = on
trace_timestamp_client = on
Ths TNSPING works just fine it logs the information I expect. The client logging, however, never creates a file .
The problem is, while installing the Oracle Form and Report 11G R2, my installation got stuck on step 15, i.e configuration progress. Waited for 3hrs and still no progress.
Installing on Win 7 64-Bit, with 4gb ram. Installed Weblogic Server 10.3.5 64bit(using JDK).
we have third party application which uses oracle database (version 10.2.0.5) on WINDOWS. Our no of process used keeps increasing by 15-20 everyday.
However number of sessions remain constant 32-35 . So in couple of days we reach our limit of max processes and DB needs to be restarted to release processes.
How to identify unwanted process ?? is it safe to kill process(windows threads) which have V$PROCESS.ADDR not equal to V$SESSION.PADDR using orakill or some other third party utility or should I use another way ??
No of sessions remains constant and currently we don't have control over application.
I'm trying to install Oracle10g in win7 Home premium. It is installing but problem is when installation process trying to create database on the system, a message is appearing which telling that ORA-12546:TNS:permission denied.
We have a .NET application on windows server 2008 32bit using the stored procedures on an Oracle 10g environment. We are trying to deploy the .NET application onto a 64bit x86 Windows server 2008.
We face an error trying to install the x64 version of the Oracle 10g client on windows 2008. The error we get is Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: javaw.exe
Is the x64 version of the Oracle 10g client certified for Windows 2008? Has anyone successfully installed the 64bit version of the oracle client on win2008?
We have a workaround in place with 32 bit version of the client running with the 32 bit version of the .NET application on x64 win2008. However to maximize the infrastructure we need to use the 64 bit version or we would have to turn to MSSQL Server .
I have an Oracle server on CentOS 5.4, I can visit isqlplus on server, but I can't visit isqlplus on a windows client. ping works between server and client. I remember client doesn't need to install software via isqlplus, but I am not pretty sure.
I am trying to invoke program from my local Windows machine (exactly java executor, which is in my environment on c:javajdkinjava) using database package with Java stored procedure.
Everything is fired by SQLPLUS script, this script invokes package with Java stored procedure (jar loaded into Oracle) and that procedure is trying to invoke runtime process (syntax:
c:javajdkinjava -cp
and here ara my classes and main jar) using my local java executor. I added all permissions using dbms_java.grant_permisions (execution forced me to give permissions java.io.FilePermission to <<ALL_FILES>> for execute), moreover I added to my database user JAVASYSPRIV and JAVAUSERPRIV role. Unfortunately, beside this I am still getting error:
C:javajdkinjava not found (Note that lookup with PATH isn't done due to the oracle executable being setuid.)
I am trying to find the unix process for one of my application in the database but I am unable to view the same. To simulate, I did the following.
1. My database runs on different server. 2. I invoked "sqlplus" from another unix box to login to the database. 3. I found that the process id (ps -ef |grep sqlplus). 4. When I execute the below mentioned query it does not display the process id that I am looking for. But the osuser, username, program and machine details are correct. How can I know the process details from the database?
SELECT SYS.GV_$SESSION.OSUSER, SYS.GV_$SESSION.USERNAME, SYS.GV_$PROCESS.SPID, SYS.GV_$SESSION.MACHINE, SYS.GV_$SESSION.PROGRAM, SYS.GV_$PROCESS.PROGRAM ,SYS.GV_$SESSION.SQL_ID FROM SYS.GV_$PROCESS, SYS.GV_$SESSION WHERE SYS.GV_$PROCESS.ADDR=SYS.GV_$SESSION.PADDR and SYS.GV_$SESSION.USERNAME='TEST' and SYS.GV_$SESSION.MACHINE like '%hostname%'
I have a VB application which uses oo4o to connect to Oracle database (10g) using Oracle client v 8.1.7. All was working well till we migrated to windows 7. On windows 7 (64 bit), we have oracle client 11g (64 bit). but the Vb application cannot make connection with the database although i can query the database using SQL Plus.
I have been researching this issue and trying to install any Oracle 10 or 11 client on my new Windows 7 (64-bit) computer for two days. I read on the following link:
[URL].......
that such a client exists. where I can get it and whether any special steps are required to perform the install? I have tried the following:
Install 10gR2 and 11gR1(for x64) after downloading from Oracle. In each case, I ran the setup file from the zip file and tried again by unzipping and running the setup.exe as the administrator. In most cases, I got the error from the compatibility check that the Oracle install would not work with 6.1 (NT6.1, I think).
I tried one suggestion of modifying the refhost.xml file to list 6.1 as an acceptable OS, but then my install failed when oui.exe quit running.
I have been asked to create a new instance of an application server. As part of this, my management has asked me to replace any old JREs or JDKs.
We run 10g, so I installed the 10203_vista_w2k8_x86_production_client on my new server. I would like to replace the 1.4.2 JDK that is bundled with the Oracle Production Client with 1.6.0.
We currently have a windows 2008 server running our virtualization administration application (VCenter server 4.0) which uses a 10g client 32bit ODBC driver to connect to our 10g database server. This is the emulated 32bit driver in sysWOW64 folder.
I need to upgrade VCenter, which needs to use the 64bit 10g ODBC driver. Have installed the 102010_win64_x64_client on a test server which gives me the correct 64 bit driver.
My question is can i install two clients onto the same windows 2008 server without causing operational issues while i run pre upgrade checks?
Our company has finally undertaken the task of getting us all off Windows XP and onto Windows 7. My turn came this afternoon, they gave us all clean installs and after walking through oracle client, toad, visual studio setup I finally started using it an Toad is unbearably bad. I have found:
Loaded files suddenly become read only for no apparent reasonAfter selecting a file on a network drive and clicking the open button, a blank edit pane is loaded in place of the file, sometimes it has the name of the file sometimes no name and sometimes I get an error that the file does not exist Empty file listings, I will browse into a directory that has files in it but toad shows nothing or freezes completely
I have not used Windows 7 much or this version of Toad at all I am loading much of this over the network so that is one possible culprit but it has never been a problem in the past with XP or older versions of toad
I Develop Application with C# . I want to connect from Client to Server.
my connection string is ""Data Source=192.168.100.50:1521/XE;User Id=system;Password=system;Min Pool Size=10;Connection Lifetime=120;Connection Timeout=60;Incr Pool Size=5;Decr Pool Size=2;""
When exectue this Connection on Server ، all things OK but when execute on Client this error accure :
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. The type initializer for 'OracelExperss' threw an exception"
I've been an Oracle DBA for almost twenty years. In that time I have worked in various organisations - sometimes as a "permanent" employee (although nothing is permanent these days ) and other times as a contractor. I have been in my current role for the last six months since being made redundant from my last position.
In this organisation we support a lot of Oracle databases on many different servers spanning various networks. There are two DBAs who have been here for several years
However, they are both in the habit of logging in as SYSDBA for everything. They find it amusing that I refuse to do so for daily administration as I know that this is bad practice. Import and exports are even taken as SYS. Whenever I mention that it's bad practice they shrug it off saying that they've been doing it for years with no problems.
So I have been scouring Tahiti and Metalink looking for a definitive document from Oracle that states just why this is such bad practice. I would imagine that an import as SYS could have catastrophic consequences for the data dictionary if you're not careful, but I can't think of much else.
We've all seen Michel's default "just don't do it" message whenever a poster mentions that they have done something as SYS.
I am an IT auditor who has been using Oracle 10g Express to test some audit scripts we have created. I write the output of each query in the script to a separate file because it makes it easier for us to go through. However, I cannot get SQLPlus to spool the output files at all. I do not get any errors from running the script, and I can see the results in the SQLPlus window, but I cannot find where the files are actually spooling to, if they are spooling at all.
I didn't specify a network path for any of the spool files because the scripts need to be as generic as possible so they can run on any Windows or UNIX box. An example of my code is below:
spool Audit_Ver
SELECT * FROM V$VERSION;
spool off
But if I search my harddrive for "Audit_Ver" no such file can be found anywhere.
We are unable install oracle 10g client it is showing error error in writing directory c:Docume~1admin~1locals~1emporainstall2012-01-04_08-05-38PM. ensure that this directory is writable and has atlest 45MB of disk space . Installation cannot continue
I'd like to know if it's possible to install a client with Windows 7 (64bits) can be installed with Oracle 11gR2 (32 bits) when the server is still with Oracle 10.1.0.2 ?
I have installed an application suite (AppX) on Windows 2008 Server which has both Windows applications and a web GUI element (ASP.NET running through IIS 7.5).
The Windows apps are in both VB and .NET and compiled specifically for x86 (due to COM component dependencies). I have installed the "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3/10.2.0.4)Enterprise/Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7" Oracle Client on the Windows 2008 Server.
After installation AppX windows modules all worked fine with the Oracle Db but the Web Application was getting the following error:
System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
After a bit of research I found a few articles suggesting setting up the ORACLE_HOME directory in the Windows Environment variables. So I tried setting up the ORACLE_HOME environment setting and had some success as the AppX web application worked fine! However, the Windows apps of AppX were now broken and returning the error:
System.Exception: OCIEnvCreate failed with return code -1 but error message text was not available. at System.Data.OracleClient.OciHandle..ctor(OciHandle parentHandle, HTYPE handleType, MODE ocimode, HANDLEFLAG handleflags) at System.Data.OracleClient.OciEnvironmentHandle..ctor(MODE environmentMode, Boolean unicode) at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleInternalConnection.OpenOnLocalTransaction(String userName, String password, String serverName, Boolean integratedSecurity, Boolean unicode, Boolean omitOracleConnectionName) [code].........
So I am struggling to get both the Windows and Web App both working on the same Windows 2008 Server.
I have got an unattended install (via the Oracle provided response file) working fine for Oracle Client 8.1.7, however the setup isn't working quite as I would like it...
I am calling the setup.exe with appropriate switches for the response file from a DOS Batch file.� Once setup.exe has been called, the batch file then assumes it has finished its job with the Oracle setup, and continues processing as normal, however the Oracle setup has only just started.
command line switch to add on the end of setup.exe to make sure that the batch file pauses until the Oracle client installation has completed?� Just using Sleep.exe from the Windows Res Kits isn't really good enough, as I don't want to be guessing how long an Oracle install takes - I'd much rather have the setup.exe tell the batch file when it has finished, so the Batch can carry on.
I got a call today saying that some users were having a hard time logging on to Oracle using our in-house PowerBuilder-built application. I have Oracle 10.2.0 running on 32-bit Windows 2003. Poked around a little, looking in the dump directories, checking CPU utilization, checking OEM to see if there were any obvious performance issues or blocking issues or whatever - didn't see anything unusual. Logged in with SQL Plus with no problem. Then I checked the audit logs. All we audit is user logons and logoffs. What I was seeing is that a handful of users were showing a logon event with a logoff (action 101) 10 to 15 seconds later. One user in particular was showing this over and over again.
