              LPAD(' ', FLOOR(maxwidth / 2) - (ROWNUM - 1)) ||
              RPAD('*', 2 * (ROWNUM - 1) + 1, ' *'),
              LPAD('* * *', FLOOR(maxwidth / 2) + 3))

 , , , , ,

Hi all,

Need to performa any RMAN Operation from Amazon RDS? Maybe something like validating backups?

Well, we have some options under by using RDSADMIN_RMAN_UTIL package. See below an example for validate backup:

BEGIN
 rdsadmin.rdsadmin_rman_util.validate_database(
 p_validation_type => 'PHYSICAL+LOGICAL',
 p_parallel => 4,
 p_section_size_mb => 10,
 p_rman_to_dbms_output => FALSE);
END;
/

More info about it: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Appendix.Oracle.CommonDBATasks.RMAN.html

Hope it helps, cheers!

AWS RDS: Read Oracle Traces from SQL*Plus

 , , , ,

Hi all,

One more for AWS services. Let’s say you need to read tracefiles from RDS, hot to do it?

Here is an example on how to list and read those files:

SQL> select * from dba_directories;

OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_PATH ORIGIN_CON_ID
---------- ------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------
SYS BDUMP /rdsdbdata/log/trace 0
SYS ADUMP /rdsdbdata/log/audit 0
SYS OPATCH_LOG_DIR /rdsdbbin/oracle/QOpatch 0
SYS OPATCH_SCRIPT_DIR /rdsdbbin/oracle/QOpatch 0
SYS DATA_PUMP_DIR /rdsdbdata/datapump 0
SYS OPATCH_INST_DIR /rdsdbbin/oracle/OPatch 0
SYS TMP /rdsdbdata/userdirs/01 0

7 rows selected.


SQL> select * from table (rdsadmin.rds_file_util.read_text_file( p_directory => 'BDUMP', p_filename => 'trace/CPROD1_s003_81573.trc'));

Hi all!

So, I got a new client and started checking on his licensing and hardware. Then I realized how “non-standard” this is and Oracle should probably provide a better way to do it. So I decided to share a few things:


# Checking Oracle Version Installed:


[oracle@greporaSRV inventory]$ cd /opt/oraInventory/logs
[oracle@greporaSRV logs]$  grep "\- Database edition" installActions*.log

# Checking number of Sockets
