Hi John,

I subscribe to your RSS all the while and just know that you also have experience on doing thing which i’m doing right now..

such as setting standard in build , installation , security and etc .

Although we are running a sharepoint but i found it lack of feature and user ability as well.

I stay in malaysia and i dont think i able to attend this Unix SIG forum.

but will like to know how you implement it . Currently we are managing 1200 instance with 12 DBA cross around 8 Oracle and 4 SQL DBA.

Comment on Purging statistics from the SYSAUX tablespace by Nitin

Nitin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 09:17:05 +0000

Hi,

I followed above steps & got stuck @ index rebuild, so request you to follow below steps, if you stuck@ index rebuild.

– To implement the solution, please execute the following steps::
1- Take a full backup of the database
2- Move the tables:

For indexes, find the indexes for the above tables and rebuild them. In case an index is unusable, please refer the following example:

select dbms_metadata.get_ddl(‘INDEX’,'I_WRI$_OPTSTAT_TAB_ST’,'SYS’) from dual;

Then drop and recreate the indexes using the obtained DDL’s.

Regards,

Nitin Ghodke

Comment on How not to set up remote log shipping – Dataguard and Streams by Aaron W.

I ran into this same issue and used the ignorecase option as you mentioned and it worked successfully.

I did speak with Oracle and the issue is that I was using orapwd to create a password file on both the primary and standby server. Even though I created them both with the same password, due to password security enhancements in 11g, this will not work unless you use the ignorecase option. The proper way to resolve the issue is the create the password on the primary database server and then copy it to the standby server. I followed this method and it works.
