Starting from 11g Oracle has added another tool to its bundle of flashback technologies called Flashback
Data Archive(Oracle Total Recall).
With this feature previous state of a table can be viewed. But Unlike Flashback query
and or Flashback transaction query this feature does not depend on the undo_retention
of the database.
Flashback Data Archive requires one or more tablespaces where it can store historical data
for one or several tables.
whenever the data in the table is modified its original unmodified value is written to the undo
tablespace. From there the Flashback Data Archiver Process(FBDA) will collect it and write
the data to flashback data archive.
#Create a Tablespace for the Flashback Data Archive

11gR2 RAC (ASM) to Single Instance (NON-ASM) Cloning.
Source = 2 node rac cluster with asm SID=dell Target = single instance non asm SID=dup(to be made) Notes: 1) For cloning Rman active database duplication will be used, that means no backups are required(11gR2 feature). Other Methods which can be used for duplication using RMAN. 1.1) Duplication without connection to target(11gR2 Feature). 1.2) Backup and recreate database manually. 1.3) Rman duplication using backups. 2) Since source database is OMF managed target will be OMF managed as well. following parameters will be used to achieve that. 2.1) db_create_file_dest---------------->> This directory will contain data,redo & control files. 2.2) db_recovery_file_dest-------------->> This will contain Flash recover Area. 3) In case where source is NON-OMF managed use following parameters : - 3.1) control_files 3.2) db_file_name_convert 3.3) log_file_name_convert Source 1) Make sure rac database is in archive log mode. 2) Copy password file to target.

Collect Diagnostic Data in 11gR2 RAC Using DiagCollection.pl Script.
All the log files related to clusterware processes can be found in the "$GRID_HOME/logs" directory. So, if there is some problem with the clusterware you could check all the log files in the directory. But mining data from all the log files is difficult. So, in order to ease of this difficulty in 11gR2 you can use the "diagcollection.pl" script to collect diagnostic data. Run the diagcollection.pl script as the root user to collect diagnostic information from an Oracle Clusterware installation. The diagnostics provide additional information so that Oracle Support Services can resolve problems. Run this script from the operating system prompt as follows, where CRS_home is the home directory of your Oracle Clusterware installation: # Invoke this utility as the root user. # CRS_home/bin/diagcollection.pl --collect [root@rac1 ~]# /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/bin/diagcollection.pl --collectProduction Copyright 2004, 2008, Oracle.

Oracle RAC 11gR2 Policy Managed Database Creation using DBCA.
Policy managed databases depend upon server pools in order to work. Starting from 11gR2, Oracle RAC has three kinds of server pools. 1) Free Server Pool - This pool contains servers which are not assigned to any server pools. 2) Generic Server Pool - This pool contains Pre 11gR2 databases as well as administrator-managed databases. 3) User Created pool - This server pool is created by the user and is used for running policy managed databases. I have a test three node cluster, Which will be used for creating policy managed database. # Make sure that clusterware services are running on all the nodes # before starting starting with the installation. [root@rac1 ~]# su - grid [grid@rac1 ~]$ crsctl check cluster -all************************************************************** rac1: CRS-4537: Cluster Ready Services is online CRS-4529: Cluster Synchronization Services is online CRS-4533: Event Manager is online ************************************************************** rac2: CRS-4537: Cluster Ready Services is online CRS-4529: Cluster Synchronization Services is online CRS-4533: Event Manager is online ************************************************************** rac3: CRS-4537: Cluster Ready Services is online CRS-4529: Cluster Synchronization Services is online CRS-4533: Event Manager is online **************************************************************Also, make sure that you have appropriate servers in the free pool. [grid@rac1 ~]$ crsctl status serverpoolNAME=Free ACTIVE_SERVERS=rac1 rac2 rac3 NAME=Generic ACTIVE_SERVERS=In my test cluster i did not have servers in the free pool as they were being used in the generic pool because of the administrator managed database that i had created earlier. So, i had to drop that database in order get servers in the free pool. Start with the database creation. [root@rac1 ~]# xhost + access control disabled, clients can connect from any host [root@rac1 ~]# su - oracle [oracle@rac1 ~]$ dbcaIn the server pool creation step i have set the cardinality to "2"
this means that out of three nodes my database will run only on 2 nodes

How to Password Protect Listener in 11g ?
As per Oracle Documentation from Oracle 11g Release 2 (11.2), the password feature is being deprecated. This does not cause a loss of security because authentication is enforced through local operating system authentication. If remote administration of listener is required, then use one of the following methods to connect to and administer the listener. 1) Connect to the host where listener is running using SSH or other secure method. 2) Use Oracle Enterprise Manager to adminster the listener. Listener Name: prod Log in to the listener control utility. [oracle@canada ~]$ lsnrctl #Select listener name.

RAC common wait events.
1) Global cache blocks lost- This statistic shows block losses during network transfers. High values of this statistic indicate network problems. The use of an unreliable IPC protocol, such as UDP, may result in the value for lost global cache blocks being non-zero. High values for this statistics indicates that there is some problem with the IPC, network or hardware. 2) Global cache blocks corrupt - This statistic shows if there is any block corruption during interconnect transfers. High value for this statistic indicates that there is a IPC,network or hardware problem.

Oracle Goldengate 11g Initial Load Using Direct Load Method.
This article focuses on initial synchronization of source and target databases by using Golden Gate initial direct load method for the purpose of zero downtime DML replication. Prerequisites: 1) Target Tables should be empty. Otherwise you can get duplicate row errors. 2) Disable Foreign Key and Check Constraints. They can be enabled later on when the initial load is complete. 3) (Optional) Remove indexes from target tables as they may slow down the initial loading process. 4) To use handlecollisions function, each target table must have a primary or unique key. If that's not possible use the KEYCOLS option of the TABLE and MAP parameters. Even if that is not possible then quiesce your database for the duration of intial load.
