Dataguard missing archivelog

Below you can find one of the available solutions that can be applied to solve this issue:

PRI
select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES';

STBY
select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES';
SQL> select * from v$archive_gap;

   THREAD# LOW_SEQUENCE# HIGH_SEQUENCE#
---------- ------------- --------------
         1          285           285

RMAN> list ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 286 until SEQUENCE 285;

select name from v$archived_log where SEQUENCE#<=198895;

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
specification does not match any archived log in the repository

RMAN> exit

PRI
RMAN>  list ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 6299 until SEQUENCE 6300;

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

scp the archivelogs to STBY (register them if it doesn”t take it)

# One way of registering a logfile is via the following:

SQL> alter database register logfile '/var/arch/arch_1_101.arc';

# So this is a straightforward way of registering a logfile giving the full path to the logfile. However, what if you have a very large number of logfiles to register, the above does not really scale all that well. Thankfully there is an rman command that enables you to register all logfiles within a directory:

rman> catalog start with ‘/var/arch’;

Error 1031 received logging on to the standby

Once I got the mentioned issue and the solution was pretty simple:

Log shipping user authentication problem
Error 1031 received logging on to the standby
PING[ARC0]: Heartbeat failed to connect to standby 'DB_STANDBY'. Error is 1031.
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

SOLUTION
copy password file again from PRIMARY to STANDBY

LogMiner out-of-memory

First we need to get the name of the CAPTURE process and the actual value and then start tuning it:

col capture_name format a30
col parameter format a50
col value format a50
col set_by_user format a3
select capture_name,parameter, value,set_by_user from Dba_Capture_Parameters where capture_name like upper('&capture_name');
BEGIN
dbms_capture_adm.set_parameter(capture_name => '&capture_name',
                              parameter  => '_SGA_SIZE',
                              VALUE      => '300');
END;

ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)

The error encountered is

ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)
ORA-06512: at "OWNER.LDAP_NTFY", line 410
ORA-06512: at line 2

And the solution is this:

column acl format a30
column host format a20
column principal format a20
column privilege format a10
column is_grant format a8
set lines 1000
select acl , host , lower_port , upper_port from DBA_NETWORK_ACLS; --# it looks that here we have ONLY the IP. In this case we need to add also the HOSTNAME
select acl , principal , privilege , is_grant from DBA_NETWORK_ACL_PRIVILEGES;
exec DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ASSIGN_ACL('ACL_LDAPSYNC.xml','<hostname>',389,389);

Count of targets not uploading exceeded the critical threshold (0)

Some time ago I had this issue and below is what I did to fix it:

sql>conn sysman@OEM_REP
sql>exec emd_maintenance.submit_em_dbms_jobs; 
./emctl stop agent
./emctl start agent

Grab stats for partitions

Useful scripts to grab stats for partitions:

set serveroutput on
DECLARE
LV_SQL VARCHAR2(1000);
CURSOR C1 IS 
SELECT TABLE_NAME T , PARTITION_NAME P , LAST_ANALYZED L  FROM USER_TAB_PARTITIONS WHERE LAST_ANALYZED is null AND 
TABLE_NAME = '&TABLE_NAME' and partition_name like ('&PART_NAME');
BEGIN
  FOR I IN C1 LOOP
   dbms_output.put_line('Gathering stats for :'||I.P);
   LV_SQL:= 'BEGIN  ';
   LV_SQL:= LV_SQL ||'dbms_stats.gather_table_stats (''OWNER'','||':1'||',partname=>'||':2'||',granularity=>''partition'',estimate_percent => 1);' ;
   LV_SQL:= LV_SQL ||' END ;';
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE LV_SQL USING  I.T,I.P;
  END LOOP;
END;
/

Or we can put it in a shell script:

#!/bin/bash

export ORACLE_SID=DB_NAME
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

cd /u01/app/oracle/admin/

sqlplus -S /nolog << EOF > gather_part_stats.log 2>> gather_part_stats.log
conn user/passwd

set serveroutput on
DECLARE
LV_SQL VARCHAR2(1000);
CURSOR C1 IS 
SELECT TABLE_NAME T , PARTITION_NAME P , LAST_ANALYZED L  FROM USER_TAB_PARTITIONS WHERE (LAST_ANALYZED is null or LAST_ANALYZED < sysdate -7) AND 
order by LAST_ANALYZED;
BEGIN
  FOR I IN C1 LOOP
   dbms_output.put_line('Gathering stats for :'||I.P);
   BEGIN
   LV_SQL:= 'BEGIN  ';
   LV_SQL:= LV_SQL ||'dbms_stats.gather_table_stats (''OWNER'','||':1'||',partname=>'||':2'||',granularity=>''partition'',estimate_percent => 1,CASCADE => TRUE, method_opt => ''FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1'');' ;
   LV_SQL:= LV_SQL ||' END ;';
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE LV_SQL USING  I.T,I.P;
   END;
  END LOOP;
END;
/
exit

WHERE (id1, id2, type) IN

ORDER BY id1, request
/

SELECT SID, SQL_ID, USERNAME, BLOCKING_SESSION FROM v$session WHERE BLOCKING_SESSION IS NOT NULL;
