How to find out which users are having a particular responsibility

There is a concurrent program called "Users of a responsibility"

When we submit this request, it Prompt for

                      1.Application name
                      2. Responsibility name.

To find Application  name, Goto Responsibility =>Define

search for Responsibility, you will get the Application name.


Now provide Application name and Responsibility name. it will give out put.

RMAN Backup Monitoring

Here is a simple query to monitor the RMAN progress.

select

 SID||'-'||OPNAME SID_OPNAME,

 100-round((sofar/totalwork) * 100,2) pct_left

   v$session_longops

where 

   totalwork > sofar

AND 

   opname NOT LIKE '%aggregate%'

AND 

   opname like 'RMAN%';

Database Instance failed to turn on Flashback Database

ORA-38760:This database instance failed to turn on flashback database

Recently starting up a database reported ORA-38760. On this database I had flashback on. The error message indicates that the database flashback is on but the database failed to start generating flashback data. Checking the alert log found that there was no space in the disk group.

ORA-38701: Flashback database log 1442 seq 1519 thread 1: "+FB1"
ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file +FB1
ORA-15041: diskgroup space exhausted
Can not open flashback thread because there is no more space in flash recovery area

Measures would be to add more disk space or free some space in the Disk Group so that the database can start.

I decided not to use the flashback any more and so determined to stop the flashback.

SQL>aler database flashback off;
SQL>shutdown immediate
SQL>startup

Again it resulted with the same message "ORA-38760:This database instance failed to turn on flashback database" which means the flashback is still not switched off.

Reason was flashback was not opened to close it. It still reported "Can not open flashback thread because there is no more space in flash recovery area" in the alert.log.

So it would be to review v$restore_point to see if there are options and I found that there was a restore point created with option guarantee which means the flashback is maintaining logs that are relevant for the guaranteed restore point. I do not need this restore point and so removed it. Database was then able to release a huge amount of space and my system was back again.

Replace 'no rows selected'

I wanted to replace the message 'no rows selected' with an alternate message.

SQL> select * from dual where 1=0;

no rows selected

SQL>

I found a good one by using NOT EXISTS clause

SQL> select * from dual where 1=0

           UNION

           select 'no data found' from dual where not exists (select * from dual where 1=0); 

DUMMY

no data found

1 row selected.

FNDLOAD

The Generic Loader (FNDLOAD) is a concurrent program that can transfer Oracle Application entity data between database and text file. The loader reads a configuration file to determine which entity to access. In simple words FNDLOAD is used to transfer entity data from one instance/database to other. For example if you want to move a concurrent program/menu/value sets developed in DEVELOPMENT instance to PRODUCTION instance you can use this command.

Steps to Move a Concurrent program from one instance(Database) to other

• Define your concurrent program and save it in first instance.
• Connect to your UNIX box on first instance and run the following command to download the .ldt file
  FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct file_name.ldt PROGRAMAPPLICATION_SHORT_NAME=”Concurrent program application short name”CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME=”concurrent program short name”
• Move the downloaded .ldf file to new instance(Use FTP)
• Connect to your UNIX box on second instance and run the following command to upload the .ldt file
  FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct file_name.ldt

Note: Make sure you are giving proper .lct file in the commands and don’t confuse with .lct and .ldt files

These following are the other entity data types that we can move with FNDLOAD
