19. 19 SSB – Oracle Components u Database Access Descriptor (DAD)

20. 20 Oracle software and directory structures u For the database server n RDBMS, OCI, Oracle Net, EM u For the Application server n SSB u AS10g n INB u AS10g, Forms and Reports 6i, servlets u For the Client n JInitiator or Java (INB Only)

21. 21 The OFA Standard - Docs u A directory structure developed by Cary V. Millsap u The Optimal Flexible Architecture involves the following 3 rules. 1 – Naming directory structure: Careful naming strategy to eliminate data administration problems 2 - Allows for multiple versions of Oracle by providing multiple ORACLE_HOME directories 3 - Maximize database reliability and performance by separating database components across different disk resources.

22. 22 The OFA Standard – ORACLE_BASE u It is UNIX-based, but the idea is universal n A mount pointpm n A standard directory nameh n The name of the owner of the productu /pm/h/u n Example: /u01/app/oracle is the Oracle software owner home and is referred to as the ORACLE_BASE environment variable (used by Oracle Universal Installer)

23. 23 The OFA Standard – ORACLE_HOME u To fulfill the OFA structure of multiple Oracle homes n A standard directory nameh n The version of the softwarev /pm/h/u/h/v n Example: /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2 indicates the start forOracle 10G, and is referred to as the ORACLE_HOME environment variable

24. 24 The OFA Standard – Multiple homes u ORACLE_BASE serves as a pointer to a root directory for the OUI to start in, while ORACLE_HOME is used to define each co- existing Oracle product version u The different tiers of Oracle products each have associated ORACLE_HOMEs defined. They have not yet learned to play nicely together on the same machine u Some versions of the same software cannot be installed in the same OFA tree u Older versions of Oracle were not ‘multi-homed’

25. 25 The OFA Standard and Banner u The placement of the SCT Banner system is structured to follow OFA on the application servers. u Typically it is: n /u01/app/sghe/inb… (Form) n /u01/app/sghe/ssb… (Self Service)

26. 26 OFA – Exercise 1 u What is your ORACLE_BASE? u What is your ORACLE_HOME? u Were is the Database server? u Where is the Application server? u Web server? u Do you have multiple Oracle versions? n If so, how do you separate the versions?

27. 27 The Oracle Installers u Oracle has its own installer programs n Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) u There may be different ones for each tier, driven by the version of the Oracle software n For the RDBMS server n For the Application Server n For the Client

28. 28 RDBMS - Tools u Administrative Tools n SQLPLUS n Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) n TOAD n SQL Navigator u Administrative Utilities n SQL*Loader n Import/Export

29. 29 SQL*Plus u SQL*Plus has been the interactive tool for accessing Oracle databases u SQL*Plus enables you to manipulate SQL commands and PL/SQL blocks, and to perform many additional tasks as well u Make sure that the environment variables are set to point to the proper instance u The only tool to create a database

30. 30 SQL*Plus uses u Through SQL*Plus, you can n enter, edit, store, retrieve, and run SQL commands and PL/SQL blocks n format, perform calculations on, store, and print query results in the form of reports n list column definitions for any table n access and copy data between SQL databases n send messages to and accept responses from an end user n perform database administration.

31. 31 SQLPLUS u sqlplus /nolog n Starts the application n Can be used to log in as a privileged user with a password file u sqlplus “/ as sysdba” n Uses a privileged set of commands that allow actions such as shutdown and startup n Allows the user of the DBA group to bypass the sys password

32. 32 SQL*Plus Startup/Shutdown u Command-line control of starting and stopping the database instance u Startup n sqlplus /nolog(sqlplus “/ as sysdba”) n connect sys/syspass as sysdba startup u Shutdown n sqlplus /nolog(sqlplus “/ as sysdba”) n connect sys/syspass as sysdba n shutdown normal/immediate/abort/transactional

33. 33 RDBMS - OS Startup/Shutdown u Startup and shutdown can be managed from an OS level utility, such as cron, oradim, OUI and OEM u OS startup and shutdown is through the /sbin/init.d structure (UNIX), service (NT) or systartup.com (OpenVMS) u Should be coordinated with the startup and shutdown of web services u Oracle supplies a dbstart and dbshut utility for Unix

34. 34 Oracle Enterprise Manager u Oracle Enterprise Manager is a product that Oracle has been developing for a long time u The Enterprise Manager console is a comprehensive tool for database management, configuration and tuning u This product allows DBAs to manage the Oracle system locally and remotely

35. 35 OEM Documents u Oracle Enterprise Manager n Oracle Enterprise Manager Administrator's Guide n Oracle Enterprise Manager Concepts Guide n Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Guide n Oracle Enterprise Manager Messages Manual n Oracle Intelligent Agent User's Guide n Oracle SNMP Support Reference Guide

36. 36 TOAD A product that can provide many of the features of OEM

37. 37 Oracle DBA Utilities u SQL Loader n Used to import flat files into Oracle objects u Import n Oracle’s binary dump file of one to many objects u Export n Oracle’s binary dump file

38. 38 SQL*Loader u SQL*Loader is the Oracle tool that is used to load flat files into Oracle tables u Has a powerful data parsing engine which puts little limitation on the format of the data in the data file u Can load data from multiple data files during the same load session u Can load data into multiple tables during the same load session

39. 39 Import/Export u Import and Export are a complimentary set of Oracle utilities that are used to export and import data from Oracle databases u These are conducted while the database is up u Exports can be part of your backup strategy u See the Oracle Utilities Manual for valuable case studies

40. 40 Import u Import is used to take a previously exported dump file and insert the data into an Oracle database u A full export can be used for recovery purposes u Caution should be taken with some options, rows, tables, analyze, consistent, commit

41. 41 RDBMS - Network u SQL*Net n SQL*Net was the original proprietary networking protocol supplied with Oracle n Handled the communication between the RDBMS and Oracle client applications u Oracle Net n The new version of SQL*Net that comes with Oracle 9i

42. 42 Oracle Net u Client to server u Server to server u Routing through a connection descriptor u Listeners handle the connection requests u Configuration can be done through a GUI tool (Configuration Assistant) u Now supports LDAP n Oracle Internet Directory (OID)

43. 43 Oracle Net descriptor u Connection descriptor n Network route by protocol address n Service name defines the requested service usually a global database name n A connect string is built from the above information and passed on the network to the appropriate listener

44. 44 Descriptor example u Local naming example CONNECT u PPRD-SV = u (DESCRIPTION = u (ADDRESS_LIST = u (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 63.247.239.140)(PORT = 1521)) u ) u (CONNECT_DATA = u (SID = PPRD) u )
