If a lock entry is holding more than 24 hours then what will you do? If another user wants to share that lock but the user using that lock haven’t released lock he went for holiday what will u do? This user wants lock ASAP then what will u do?

If the another user wants the LOCKED object, for which the lock is too old, then, there is only 1 way to free it and that is to delete the lock by SM12. But, before doing that perform the following:

1. Check with SM37, if any background job, pertaining to the lock is running or not.2. Check the user session with SM66 and SM50, if any WP is running or not.After only confirming that there is no job running, you can delete the lock, otherwise inconsistency may arise

In SM12 check any lock entry older than 2 days, if any outdated entry check the corresponding User and check the user online or offline in AL08 and contact that User (you can get the User info from su01) and inform about the lock else if the user is offline release the table from lock by deleting the lock.

9) difference b/w sga and pga & in shared server pga is there or not?

Oracle uses an area of shared memory called the system global area (SGA) and a private memory area for each process called the process global area (PGA).The basic difference between SGA and PGA is that PGA cannot be shared between multiple processes in the sense that it is used only for requirements of a particular process whereas the SGA is used for the whole instance and it is shared.

The PGA is a process piece of memory. This is memory specific to a single operating system process or thread. This memory is not accessible by any other process/thread in the system. The PGA is never allocated out of Oracle&#697;s SGA &#8208; it is always allocated locally by the process or thread

How to define number range for spool request in sap

In Client 000, execute transaction SNRO -Number Range button - Interval. Default numbering range is 100 - 32,000 (which can print up to 31,900 requests) To do this: Transaction SNRO > Table SPO_NUM > Number Ranges (button) > Modify > change the max limit to desired number.

2. Define profile parameter rspo/spool_id/max_number up to 2^313. Define rspo/spool_id/loopbreak to same value as above. This is optional.

Go to transaction SNRO, select SPO_NUM object and click on number ranges in the top right tab.Go to Intervals(change mode) and change to ->100 to 99000

It maybe 100 to 32000 in ur case

RESETLOGS                    resets the current log sequence number to 1 and                    invalidates all redo entries in the online and                    archived redo log files.  You must use this option to                    open the database after performing media recovery                    with a backup controlfile.  After opening the                    database with this option, you should perform a                    complete database backup.  NORESETLOGS                    leaves the log sequence number and redo log files in                    their current state.

   You can only specify these options after performing incomplete media recovery.  In any other case, Oracle uses the NORESETLOGS automatically.

What is the use of archive log mode?

Administer the Archived Redo Logs

An Oracle database can run in one of two modes. By default, the database is created in NOARCHIVELOG mode. When in NOARCHIVELOG mode the database runs normally, but there is no capacity to perform any type of point in time recovery operations or online backups. Thus, you have to shutdown the database to back it up, and when you recover the database you can only recover it to the point of the last backup. While this might be fine for a development environment, the big corporate types tend to frown when a weeks worth of current production accounting data is lost forever.

Using the ARCHIVELOG Mode

So, if you wish to avoid the wrath of the CEO and angry end-users, you will want to run Oracle in ARCHIVELOG mode. In ARCHIVELOG mode, the database will make copies of all online redo logs after they are filled. These copies are called archived redo logs. The archived redo logs are created via the ARCH process. The ARCH process copies the archived redo log files to one or more archive log destination directories.

What happend if we take a online backup?

During backup mode, for each datafile in the tablespace, here is what happens:

1- When BEGIN BACKUP is issued:

The hot backup flag in the datafile headers is set, so that the copy is identified to be a hot backup copy.This is to manage the backup consistency issue when the copy will be used for a recovery.

A checkpoint is done for the tablespace, so that no dirty buffer remains from modifications done before that point.Begin backup command completes only when checkpoint is done.

2- During backup mode:

The datafile header is frozen so that whenever it is copied, it reflects the checkpoint SCN that was at the beginning of the backup.Then, when the copy will be restored, Oracle knows that it needs to start recovery at that SCN to apply the archived redo logs.This is to avoid the header inconsistency issue.That means that any further checkpoints do not update the datafile header SCN (but they do update a 'backup' SCN)

Each first modification to a block in buffer cache will write the full block into the redo thread (in addition to the default behaviour that writes only the change vector).This is to avoid the fractured block issue. There may be a fractured block in the copy, but it will be overwritten during the recovery with the full block image.

That means that everything goes as normal except for two operations: - at checkpoint the datafile header SCN is not updated - when updating a block, the first time it is updated since it came in the buffer cache, the whole before image of the block is recorded in redo - direct path writes do not go through the buffer cache, but they always write full blocks and then full block is written to redo log (if not in nologging)

3- When END BACKUP is issued:

A record that marks the end of backup is written to the redo thread so that if the copy is restored and recovered, it cannot be recovered earlier than that point. This is to avoid the backup consistency issue.

The hot backup flag in the datafile headers is unset. The header SCN is written with the current one.

What s the diffrence between database restore and database recovery?

Restoring a database is copying the physical files from a backup medium (disk or tape) to the appropriate file locations for database operation Recovery is process of updating database files restored from backup w/changes made to the database since backup, typically using redo log files.(Restored backup files + changes = Recovery

Recovery is the process of applying redo logs to the database to roll it forward

What is the use of adding server process?

A server process is added to scale up your Java Instance. In an ABAP+JAVA stack combined (java add-on to ABAP stack) installation, it is not possible to install java stack (individually, without ABAP stack) in any instance or in any host. So any additional instance of Java Stack can only be installed as an add-on to a fresh ABAP stack .i.e. both have to be installed together. For scaling up java stack a further server process can be added, BUT ABAP stack alone, without JAVA Add-on, can be installed.

What happend in file system when we add server process?

What is point in time recovery?A point in time recovery is restoring a database to a specified date and time. When you have completed a point in time recovery, your database will be in the state it was at the specific date and time you identified when restoring your database. A point in time recovery is a method to recover your database to any point in time since the last database backup.

What does it take to do a point in time recovery?

In order to perform a point in time recovery you will need to have an entire series of backups (complete, differential, and transaction log backups) up to and/or beyond the point in time in which you want to recover. If you are missing any backups, or have truncated the transaction log without first performing a transaction log backup, then you will not be able to perform a point in time recovery.

Can we perform transactional data copy using client copy if we have 100gb of data?Application data will be consistent only if customizing/workbench will be same in source and target system. That is the reason copying only application data is not possible.
