Since Oracle 11g files created by the database belong by default to the Linux group oinstall. Changing the default group after creating the central inventory is difficult. In this Blog I want to show how locally created archived redo can be in group dba instead of oinstall. One of my customers had the requirement to provide read-access on archived redo to an application for logmining. To ensure the application can access the archived redo, we…
Oracle 19c has been released quite a while ago already and some customers already run it in Production. However, as it is the long term supported release, I thought I blog about some interesting information and features around 19c to encourage people to migrate to it. Download Oracle 19c: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads or https://edelivery.oracle.com (search e.g. for “Database Enterprise Edition”) Docker-Images: https://github.com/oracle/docker-images/tree/master/OracleDatabase Oracle provides different offerings for 19c: On-premises: – Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 (SE2) –…
Nowadays I have been working on an interesting customer project where I had to migrate windows oracle standard databases to ODA. The ODAs are X7-2M Models, running version 18.5. This version is coming with Red Hat Enterprise Linx 6.10 (Santiago). Both windows databases and target ODA databases are running PSU 11.2.0.4.190115. But this would definitively also be working for oracle 12c and oracle 18c databases. The databases are licensed with Standard Edition, so migrating through…
Moving database to new ORACLE_HOME is a common dba task. Performing this task on an ODA will need an additional step knowing ODA Lite is using an internal Derby database for the metadata. ODA HA will not be a problem here, knowing we do not have any Derby database. Through this blog I would like to give you some guidance and work around to move database to a new home (of same major release). In…
Introduction Oracle & Linux is a great duet. Very powerfull, very scriptable. Here are several commands that make my life easier. These tools seems to be widespread on most of the Linux distributions. watch with diff It’s my favorite tool since a long time. watch can repeat a command indefinitely until you stop it with Ctrl+C. And it’s even more useful with the – -diff parameter. All the differences since last run are highlighted. For…

Working on Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.4 version at a client’s site, we would like to know if oracle database target in 18c version could be discovered and monitored, even if Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.4 does not support Oracle 18c database targets. Installing the agent 12c on the target host did not cause any problem, the oracle database 18c discovery ran successfully, but the database was seen as down in the Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.4 console. We tried several…
Below, I will try to explain, a particular case for the general error : ORA-01555 snapshot too old error..

The scope of this blog will be to show how to create a primary role database based on a backup of a standby database on 12cR2. Step1: We are assuming that an auxiliary instance has been created and started in nomount mode. rman target / restore primary controlfile from ‘backup_location_directory/control_.bkp’; exit; By specifying “restore primary” , will modify the flag into the controlfile, and will mount a primary role instance instead of a standby one….
