AWS: ALTER SYSTEM and Managing SYS Objects in RDS

 , , ,

I’m very often managing services over EC2 and there are a few actions clients are often getting some issues to perform in RDS. So I decided to list here 5 of them:

Kill sessions:

begin
rdsadmin.rdsadmin_util.kill(
sid => &sid,
serial => &serial,
method => 'IMMEDIATE');
end;
/

Flush shared_pool or buffer_cache:

exec rdsadmin.rdsadmin_util.flush_shared_pool;
exec rdsadmin.rdsadmin_util.flush_buffer_cache;

Grant Privileges to SYS Objects

# Grant

begin
    rdsadmin.rdsadmin_util.grant_sys_object(
        p_obj_name  => 'V_$SESSION',
        p_grantee   => 'GREPORA',
        p_privilege => 'SELECT');
end;
/

# Grant with Grant Option

begin
    rdsadmin.rdsadmin_util.grant_sys_object(
        p_obj_name     => 'V_$SESSION',
        p_grantee      => 'GREPORA',
        p_privilege    => 'SELECT',
        p_grant_option => true);
end;
/

# Revoke

begin
    rdsadmin.rdsadmin_util.revoke_sys_object(
        p_obj_name  => 'V_$SESSION',
        p_revokee   => 'GREPORA',
        p_privilege => 'SELECT');
end;
/

 

Hope it Helps!

Clear Exadata Component Messages After Maintenance

 ,

Hi all,

Quick one today: So you completed a maintenance in a component (a memory component, as per example below) but keep receiving messages of failure?

Well, try clearing all the error messages after complete the maintenance and lets check if the threshold is reached again. If so, we may need to really replace it.

How to do it? Easy:

ssh root@grepora01-ilom
-> show /SYS/MB/P0/D3
Expected:
[...]
fault_state = Faulted
[..]
-> set /SYS/MB/P0/D3 clear_fault_action=true
Are you sure you want to clear /SYS/MB/P0/D3 (y/n)? y
-> show /SYS/MB/P0/D3
[Expected]
 /SYS/MB/P0/D3
    Targets:
        PRSNT
        SERVICE
Properties:
type = DIMM
ipmi_name = MB/P0/D3
fru_name = 16384MB DDR4 SDRAM DIMM
fru_manufacturer = Samsung
fru_part_number = %
fru_rev_level = 01
fru_serial_number = %
 fault_state = OK
clear_fault_action = (none)

Installing EM 13c Agent on AIX 5.3

Hi,

Issues to install an Enterprise manager 13c agent on Database on AIX 5.3? Well, I found some errors I’d like to share with you:

First, to deploy agent manually by agentDeploy script, seems the ResponseFile is not working properly in some cases, so I recommend passing parameters manually:

./agentDeploy.sh AGENT_BASE_DIR = / u01 / app / oracle / agent13c -ignorePrereqs -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc AGENT_PORT = 3872 EM_UPLOAD_PORT = 4903 OMS_HOST =  ORACLE_HOSTNAME =  AGENT_INSTANCE_HOME = / u01 / app / oracle / agent13c / agent_inst AGENT_REGISTRATION_PASSWORD =  SCRATCHPATH = / backup / joao / temp

Al good? Not really, when starting the services, I started facing:

ERROR: Agent Configuration Failed SEVERE: emctl secure agent command failed with status = 1SEVERE: emctl secure agent command failed with status = 1SEVERE: emctl secure agent command failed with status = 1

Hmm… Why? So, seems this error is due to AIX secure with OMS (Linux). After a while, here is the workaround:

$ emctl secure agent -protocol TLS

That’s it! Try testing it now:

$ emctl upload agent

EMD upload completed successfully

Great! Agent installed. Now, to autodiscover further targets on host:

$ emctl config agent addinternaltargets

Now monitoring is complete!

[]s, Bicca.

Oracle cloud computing hand on

 

Oracle and others cloud providers are doing nice stuff building their cloud strategies.

Oracle is granting U$ 300 to quickly deploy OLTP /DW and other technology platforms.

With cloud and distributed infrastructure we can code, test, deploy and quickly build any lab purpose as a free* offer.

Let’s review and run the fastest & free sandbox machines for cloud improvements purpose.

cloud 1.PNG

It runs good enogth 🙂

cloud 2

Quickly deploy machines. And receive classic middleware connection files.

\o/

cloud 3

It run’s so easy,  but it may cost money/digital value as it ‘soon it burn’ credit at Oracle.

Why not to test it and build muilt-cloud solution?

Don’t forget security and data privacy standards and Oracle availability.

With this solution at cloud is so simple to run a ‘DB as a button’, it spent 2 minutes in my lab. It actually available on What is amazing time for typical lab or tech hand.

Let’s test it and CHEERS.

OEM Real-Time Data not Displayed

 ,

Hi all,
So I was facing the follwoing situation in a client:
– SYS as SYSDBA passoword working to connect on database.
– Connecting to targets with this credentials working fine.
– However when loading real-time graphs it was simply not working.
– Tried to create manually the named credentials, still not working now with the error:

Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of the service requested in connect descriptor.

See what I was getting from database home:

NewScreenshot 2019-05-09 às 11.34.33.png

Weird, but hey, the solution was already posted in Grepora!

Ok, I discovered anyway from MOS BUG 28513706 – 13c2EM: DB home page shows Connection Cache with this Cache Name does not exist. it miht be related to connection pools.
Even thought this was closed as not a bug, a learned a new workaround for it:

1. [OMS_HOME]/bin/emctl set property -name use_pooled_target_connections -value false 

2. Restart oms 

[OMS_HOME]/bin/emctl stop oms -all 

[OMS_HOME]/bin/emctl start oms

Hope it helps!
Cheers!
