Export Oracle SQL PLAN Baselines from one database to another
Category: Database Author: Andre Luiz Dutra Ontalba (Board Member) Date: 2 years ago Comments: 0

Export Oracle SQL PLAN Baselines from one database to another

 
 
 
Hello everyone, a few weeks ago, during a project, our client requested that during the database migration process we take the SQL PLAN Baseline of the current databases.
 
I found the topic interesting to share with you, how to do this migration of SQL PLAN Baselines from one database to another.

NOTE: The database user must have “administer sql management object” to execute the steps below.

1 . Create a staging table from the source database. A staging table cannot be created in SYS schema.(ORA-19381)

I used the SYSTEM schema.

exec DBMS_SPM.CREATE_STGTAB_BASELINE('MIGBASELINE', MIGUSER);
2. Pack baselines in the source database:
 
Here we can do it in four ways.
 
A) Pack all baselines in the database.
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
x number;
BEGIN
x := DBMS_SPM.PACK_STGTAB_BASELINE('MIGBASELINE', MIGUSER);
dbms_output.put_line(to_char(x) || ' plan baselines packed');
END;
/
B) Pack ALL Baselines Plans of a query
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
x number;
BEGIN
x := DBMS_SPM.PACK_STGTAB_BASELINE('MIGBASELINE', MIGUSER, sql_handle => 'SYS_SQL_58d940ad9b3ac043');
dbms_output.put_line(to_char(x) || ' plan baselines packed');
END;
/
C) Pack a specific Baseline Plan of a Query
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
x number;
BEGIN
x := DBMS_SPM.PACK_STGTAB_BASELINE('MIGBASELINE', MIGUSER, sql_handle => ' SYS_SQL_58d940ad9b3ac043', plan_name => 'SYS_SQL_PLAN_d380ae0c0a76c437' );
dbms_output.put_line(to_char(x) || ' plan baselines packed');
END;

/

 
D) Pack only ACCEPTED Baseline Plans of a Query
 
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
x number;
BEGIN
x := DBMS_SPM.PACK_STGTAB_BASELINE('MIGBASELINE', MIGUSER, sql_handle => ' SYS_SQL_58d940ad9b3ac043', accepted => 'YES' );
dbms_output.put_line(to_char(x) || ' plan baselines packed');
END;
/
3. Export the staging table MIGBASELINE from the source database.

4. Import the staging table MIGBASELINE into the target database.

5. Unpack the baselines in the target database.
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
x number;
BEGIN
x := DBMS_SPM.UNPACK_STGTAB_BASELINE('MIGBASELINE', MIGUSERN);
dbms_output.put_line(to_char(x) || ' plan baselines unpacked');
END;
/
I hope this helps you!!!

How to Install Oracle Restart 21c without ASM or ACFS
Category: Database Author: Andre Luiz Dutra Ontalba (Board Member) Date: 3 years ago Comments: 0

How to install Oracle Restart 21c without ASM or ACFS.

This article contains all information related to the install Oracle Restart Database 21c (Linux) without ASM.
I did the test and you can use the same procedure for versions (12.2,18c,19c).
Just change the response_schema for the Grid and Database version you want to use, in the response file.

 

1.  Oracle Database Prerequisites Packages for Oracle Linux

 

Use this procedure to install the Oracle Database prerequisites group package for your Oracle software.
 
The oracle-database-preinstall-21c package installs all the packages required for an Oracle Database and Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation. It also creates the oracle user and the oinstall and dba groups for that user.
 
To install the oracle-database-preinstall-21c package, log in as root, and run the following command on Linux:

 

yum install oracle-database-preinstall-21c

 

2. Installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure Standalone Server for Oracle Linux with Silent Mode

 

Complete these steps to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server and then create a database that is managed by Oracle Restart
 
Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server, which installs Oracle Restart.
 
You should have your network information, storage information, and operating system users and groups available to you before you start the installation. You should also be prepared to run root scripts or provide information to automate root scripts.
 
1 . Log in as the Oracle Restart software owner user (oracle).
 
2. If this is the first time you are installing Oracle software, then create the Oracle base and the Oracle inventory directories as per the Oracle Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) recommendations. Specify the correct owner, group, and permissions for these directories.

 

root@dutsDB ~]#  mkdir -p /u01/app/oraInventory

[root@dutsDB ~]#  chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle

[root@dutsDB ~]#  chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oraInventory

[root@dutsDB ~]#  chmod -R 775 /u01/app

 

3. Download the Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server installation image files, create the grid home directory, and extract the image files in this grid home directory.

 

[oracle@dutsDB u01]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/grid

[oracle@dutsDB u01]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/grid

[oracle@dutsDB grid]$ unzip -q /u01/binarios/Oracle_21_3_Grid.ziprm

[oracle@dutsDB grid]$ rm –rf OPatch

[oracle@dutsDB grid]$ unzip -q /u01/binarios/p6880880_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip

 

4. Prepare the response file grid_setup.rsp.

How to configure Autonomous Data Guard
Category: Database Author: Andre Luiz Dutra Ontalba (Board Member) Date: 3 years ago Comments: 0

How to configure Autonomous Data Guard

Now let’s talk a little bit about Oracle Autonomous Data Guard.

 

When you enable Autonomous Data Guard, the system creates a standby database that continuously gets updated with the changes from the primary database.

With Autonomous Data Guard enabled Autonomous Database provides one identical standby database that allows the following, depending on the state of the primary database:

• If your primary database goes down, Autonomous Data Guard converts the standby database to the primary database with minimal interruption. After failover completes, Autonomous Data Guard creates a new standby database for you.

• You can perform a switchover operation, where the primary database becomes the standby database, and the standby database becomes the primary database.
Autonomous Database does not provide access to the standby database. You perform all operations, such as scaling up the OCPU Count and enabling Auto Scaling on the primary database and Autonomous Data Guard then performs the same actions on the standby database. Likewise, you only perform actions such as stopping or restarting the database on the primary database.

 

Autonomous Data Guard Features

 

Autonomous Data Guard monitors the primary database and if the Autonomous Database instance goes down, then the standby instance assumes the role of the primary instance.
The standby database is created in the same region as the primary database. For better resilience, the standby database is provisioned as follows:

 

  • In regions with more than one availability domain, the standby database is provisioned automatically in a different availability domain than the primary database.
 
  • In regions with a single availability domain, the standby database is provisioned automatically on a different physical machine than the primary database.
 
All Autonomous Database features from the primary database are available when the standby instance becomes the primary after the system fails over or after you perform a switchover operation, including the following:

 

  • OML Notebooks: Notebooks and users created in the primary database are available in the standby.

 

  • APEX Data and Metadata: APEX information created in the primary database is copied to the standby.

 

  • ACLs: The Access Control List (ACL) of the primary database is duplicated for the standby.

 

  • Private Endpoint: The private endpoint from the primary database applies to the standby.

 

  • APIs or Scripts: Any APIs or scripts you use to manage the Autonomous Database continue to work without any changes after a failover operation or after you perform a switchover.

 

  • Client Application Connections: Client applications do not need to change their connection strings to connect to the database after a failover to the standby database or after you perform a switchover.

 

  • Wallet Based Connections: You can continue using your existing wallets to connect to the database after a failover to the standby database or after you perform a switchover.

 

  • Database Options: The OCPU Count, Storage, Display Name, Database Name, Auto Scaling, Tags, and Licensing options have the same values after a failover to the standby database or after you perform a switchover.
 
When Autonomous Data Guard is enabled the RTO and RPO numbers are as follows:

 

  • Automatic Failover: the RTO is two (2) minutes and RPO is zero (0).
  • Manual Failover: the RTO is two (2) minutes and RPO is up to five (5) minutes.
 
Notes for enabling Autonomous Data Guard:
To enable Autonomous Data Guard the database version must be Oracle Database 19c or higher.
Autonomous Database generates the Enable Autonomous Data Guard work request. To view the request, under Resources click Work Requests.
While you enable Autonomous Data Guard, when the Peer State field shows Provisioning, the following actions are disabled for the database:
  • Move Resource
  • Stop
  • Restart
  • Restore

 

Enable Autonomous Data Guard

 

1. If you are not logged in to Oracle Cloud Console, log in and navigate to your Autonomous Database.
 
2. Under Autonomous Data Guard section, click Enable to enable the Data Guard feature.
3. In the Enable Autonomous Data Guard dialog, click Enable Autonomous Data Guard.
4. The Autonomous Database Lifecycle State changes to Updatingand on the Details page, under Autonomous Data Guard the Peer State field shows Provisioning. Depending on the size of your primary database this may take several minutes.
When the standby database is being provisioned, the primary database status becomes available and all database activities can continue as enabling Autonomous Data Guard is non-blocking.
When provisioning completes, the Peer State field shows Available.
Test Switchover to a Standby Database
After Autonomous Data Guard is enabled, if you perform a switchover operation the primary database becomes the standby database, and the standby database becomes the primary database, with no data loss. A switchover is typically done to test your application’s failover procedures when Autonomous Data Guard is enabled.
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console shows a switchover link in the Peer State field when both the primary database and the standby database are available. That is, the primary database Lifecycle State field shows Available or Stopped and the standby database is available (the Peer State field shows Available).
To perform a switchover, do the following:
1 .On the Details page, under Autonomous Data Guard, in the Peer State field, click Switchover
The database Lifecycle State changes to Updating and the Peer State field shows Role Change in Progress.
When the switchover operation completes, Autonomous Data Guard does the following:
The Primary database goes into the Available state and can be connected to for queries and updates.
The Peer State field will change to Available when the standby is ready. (The standby may go into a Provisioning state first, if necessary, without blocking operations on the Primary.)
You can see the time of the last switchover when you hover over the tooltip icon in the Peer State field.
I hope this helps you!!!

Oracle sends the information to ignore the errors and then continue with updating the server.

 

 

7.  Apply the server update

 
As we ignore the error, we use the flag sko for the patching

Oracle Restart Database Upgrade 12c to 19c using Autoupgrade
Category: Database Author: Andre Luiz Dutra Ontalba (Board Member) Date: 3 years ago Comments: 0

Oracle Restart Database Upgrade 12c to 19c using Autoupgrade.

Today we are going to see a step by step, how to upgrade an Oracle restart Database 12c to 19c.
 
1.  Software downloads
 JDK 8: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html
Oracle 19.3 Database and Grid Infrastructure:  https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/oracle-database-software-downloads.html#19c
Database Release Update 19.11: Patch 32545013
Grid Infrastructure Release Update 19.11 : Patch 32545008
Autoupgrade https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=2485457.1
OPatch : Patch 6880880
 
2. Prerequisites Grid Infrastructure
 
According to the Oracle Document 2539751.1, you must apply the patch to fix the bug 21255373 in the 12.1.0.2 Grid home directory. Check if this patche applied in your environment:

 

opatch lsinventory |grep 21255373
 
If you have not installed it, the 12.1.0.2.190416 GI PSU patch 29176115 contains the fix for this bug.
 
3. Upgrade Grid Infrastructure to 19.11
Create a directory on Oracle Grid Infrastructure
mkdir -p /u01/app/grid/product/19.3.0/grid
 
Copy the 19c grid software to the folder and unzip it:
cd /u01/app/grid/product/19.3.0/grid

unzip -q /tmp/binaries/LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip

 

3.1   Pre-requisites checks
 
According to Oracle document 1457357.1, the user that owns Grid needs to run the Orachk tool.
Make sure to download the latest version of Orachk from AHF , then run the following commands:
cd /u01/app/grid/product/19.3.0/grid/suptools/orachk

export GRID_HOME= /u01/app/grid/product/19.3.0/grid

export RAT_PROMPT_WAIT_TIMEOUT=15

export RAT_ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/grid/12.1.0

export RAT_DB=12.1.0.2.0

cd /u01/app/grid/product/19.3.0/grid/suptools/orachk

./orachk -u -o pre -profile clusterware,as


This process generates an HTML report as shown in the following image:
Make sure to review the report for all failed, critical, and warning checks and resolve them before you move to the next step.
3.3 Install GI RU 19.11
You need to apply the patch 32545008 in the 19c home directory of the Grid infrastructure.
cd /u01/app/grid/product/19.3.0/grid

 

./gridSetup.sh -silent -applyRU /tmp/binaries/p32545008_19000.zip
 
Finally, it asks to run rootupgrade.sh. Do not run the script yet because you need to run it at the end of the Upgrade.

 

3.4  Validate Grid Infrastructure
Log in as the Grid OS owner user and run the cluster verification utility with the following commands:
cd /u01/app/grid/product/19.3.0/grid/

3.5  Upgrade Oracle Grid Infrastructure
Before starting the Upgrade, run the following command to bring down the all database running and ensure that the grid services are running on the server. Make sure cluster upgrade status is normal:
unset ORACLE_BASE
unset ORACLE_HOME
unset ORACLE_SID

 

cd /u01/app/grid/product/19.3.0/grid

./gridsetup.sh -silent -ignorePrerequisites -responseFile /u01/app/grid/product/19.3.0/grid/install/response/duts_upgrade.rsp

 

 
Finally, it asks to run rootupgrade.sh. Do run the script to finish the Upgrade.
 
At this point, the process upgrades Grid to 19c, and all the cluster services are running.
crsctl query has softwareversion

 

4. Upgrade Oracle Database 12c to 19.11

 

4.1  Install Oracle 19.3

 

Create a directory on Oracle Database

 

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1

 

Copy the 19c Oracle Database software to the folder and unzip it:

 

cd /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhom_1    

 

unzip -q /tmp/binaries/LINUX_X64_193000_db_home.zip
 
4.2  Apply Oracle Database RU – 19.11

 

You need to apply the patch 31281355 in the 19c home directory.  

 

cd /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1

 

./runInstaller -silent -applyRU /tmp/binaries/p32545013_19000.zip -responseFile /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/oracle/install/response/duts_upgrade.rsp

 

Finally, it asks to run rootupgrade.sh. Do run the script to finish the Upgrade.

 

4.3  Upgrade from 12c to 19c using Autoupgrade

 

For the Upgrade we’ll use the autoupgrade utility.
Create a directory on Oracle Database

 

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/autoupgrade

 

Copy the autoupgrade.jar to the folder:

 

cd /u01/app/oracle/autoupgrade

 

cp /tmp/binaries/autoupgrade.jar .
Create a sample file to use in autoupgrade:

 

$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -jar autoupgrade.jar autoupgrade.jar -create_sample_file config

 

mv sample_file.cfg 12c_19c.cfg

vi 12c_19c.cfg

#Global configurations
#Autoupgrade's global directory, non-job logs generated,
#temp files created and other autoupgrade files will be
#send here
global.autoupg_log_dir=/u01/app/oracle/autoupgrade   
#
# Database number 1
#
upg1.dbname=DUTS
upg1.start_time=NOW
upg1.source_home=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1
upg1.target_home=/u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1
upg1.sid=DUTS
Run autoupgrade in analyze mode:

 

cd /u01/app/oracle/autoupgrade

 

$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -jar autoupgrade.jar autoupgrade.jar -12c_19c.cfg -mode analyze
Note the log files which have been created for each database – as we have only run autoupgrade with the Analyze option, the only directory which is created is prechecks directory.

 

For each database which has been analyzed, we can review the HTML file which lists the pre-check warnings and recommendations.
 
Run autoupgrade in fixups mode:

 

cd /u01/app/oracle/autoupgrade

 

$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -jar autoupgrade.jar autoupgrade.jar -12c_19c.cfg -mode fixups

 

Run autoupgrade in deploy mode:

 

cd /u01/app/oracle/autoupgrade

 

$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -jar autoupgrade.jar autoupgrade.jar -12c_19c.cfg -mode deploy
After completing the migration review the HTML file that lists the items that have been updated update.

 

Change the compatible of Database
alter system set compatible =’19.0.0.0’scope=spfile;
 
Check if the restore point is removed by autoupgrade tool.

 

I hope this helps you!!!
