Description : In this blog, we are going to see step-by-step oracle application express workspace creation and import the application from the workspace and run the application.
High-level steps:-
1. Pre-request checks.2. Export schema in database and application in apex.3. Drop or create exported schema before import with required privileges and tablespace.4. Import schema in database level.5. Create a new workspace in apex.6. Edit privileges and create a password for workspace.7. Login the workspace as admin user.8. Import application into the workspace.9. Install and run the application.
Step 1:- Pre-request check.
Check application schema in a database and map tablespace and size of the schema.
Step 2:- Export schema in database and application in apex.
After that export the schema and move it to the local machine using win SCP. Login to the apex workspace select the managed workspace and users in that mention the export option to export the workspace SQL format file.
Step 3:- Drop or create exported schema before import with required privileges and tablespace. Step 4:- Import schema at the database level. We need to import the schema in the database using the dump file. Step 5:- Create a New workspace in the apex. 1. log in as Admin user. 2. Select Create workspace option. 3. Provide workspace name and click next. 4. Already we create a schema at the database level so we select the reuse option as yes and select the schema. 5. Provide username and password to the workspace. 6. Select Create workspace option. 7. Change workspace details give edit workspace option. Step 6:- Edit privileges and create an application for the workspace. 1. Account privilege changes. 2. Create a password for the workspace. Step 7:- Create a new application in the workspace. 1. log in to the Workspace with workspace name, username, and password. 2. Select the application builder option in that we create an application or we can import an existing application. 3. Select create an application we can create the new application. 4. Run the application and Login as the workspace username and password. Step 8:- Importing Existing application to the workspace. 1. Select the import option in the application builder. 2. Drag the exported SQL file to that location and click next. 3. select reuse application id and install the application. after install run the application. Step 9:- Login and check the application working fine. ********************************************************************************

Description: In this blog, we are going to see step-by-step installation steps in oracle apex 21.2 on Linux and database 19c.
Oracle Application Express:
Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a low-code development platform.
that enables you to build stunning, scalable, secure apps with world-class features that can be deployed anywhere.
Using APEX, developers can quickly develop and deploy compelling apps that solve real problems and provide immediate value.
Overall steps:1. Create a directory copy the software's.2. Unzip Apex 21.2 Zip File.3. Create APEX tablesapce.4. Execute apex installation scripts.5. Configure the database apex restful services.6. Alter a apex user in database level and set the password.7. Set the port number as 0.8. Unzip java and tomcat Zip files.9. Create Tomcat environment file, start tomcat and check the ip
its working or not.10. In tomcat-user.xml file entries.11. ORDS configuration process.12. apex.war file creation and Set Oracle REST Database Service ORDS configuration directory.13. ORDS installation process.14. Apex.xml file entries and create image directory and copy images.15. Start the tomcat and check web page front end working or not.
Required Software’s
Step 1:- Create a Directory and copy the softwares. Create a new directory name as apex_21.2. Either we can download software or we copy the software’s from available locations using winscp/scp. Step 2:- Unzip the Apex file in the created directory. Unzip the Apex software in our customized location after unzipping it will create a directory called apex. [oracle@primary apex21.2]$ unzip apex_21.2_en.zip Step 3:- Create a separate tablespace for Apex: SQL>create tablesapce APEX datafile ‘/u01/app/oracle/oradata/ORCL/apex02.dbf’ size 1g;
Tablesapce created. Step 4:- Execute apex installation scripts. Script Location – /home/oracle/apex21.2/apex [oracle@primary apex]$ cat apexins.sql SQL> @apexins.sql APEX APEX TEMP /i/ Step 5:- Configure the database apex restful services. SYS> @apex_rest_config.sql PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. After execute script provide password for public user and apex listener. Step 6:- Alter a apex user in database level and set the password. SYS> alter user APEX_LISTENER identified by Apex#321 account unlock; SYS> alter user APEX_PUBLIC_USER identified by Apex#321 account unlock; Step 7:-Set the port number as 0. (we need to set default port 8080 while using PLSQL gateway) SYS> EXEC dbms_xdb.sethttpport(0); PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Step 8:- Unzip java and tomcat Zip files. Unzip the java software file. [oracle@primary apex21.2]$ tar -xvf jdk-17_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz unzip tomcat software file. [oracle@primary apex21.2]$ tar -xvf apache-tomcat-9.0.27.tar.gz Step 9:- Create Tomcat environment file, start tomcat and check the ip its working or not. [oracle@primary ~]$vi tomcat.env export JAVA_HOME=/home/oracle/apex21.2/jdk-17.0.1 export CATALINA_HOME=/home/oracle/apex21.2/apache-tomcat-9.0.27 export CATALINA_BASE=$CATALINA_HOME Start the tomcat using start up script.
script location – cd$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh check the system local ip tomcat working or not if working shutdown the tomcat for apex configuration. System IP – http://192.168.44.128:8080 Step 10:- Tomcat user-xml file entries. script Location – /home/oracle/apex21.2/apache-tomcat-9.0.27/conf/tomcat-user.xml <role rolename=”manager-gui” /> <user username=”oracle” password=”oracle” roles=”manager-gui” />Step 11:- ORDS configuration process.
Make a directory as ords and unzip ords software in that location.
Make a conf directory in that ords location. ORDS configuration:
Add the dbname and domain entries in the “ords_params.properties” file [oracle@primary ords]$ cd params/ [oracle@primary params]$ ls ords_params.properties [oracle@primary params]$ cat ords_params.properties

Description:
In this Blog, we are going to see what is snapshot standby database and how to convert a physical standby database to a snapshot standby database with Demo.
Snapshot Standby Database:
Snapshot standby allows doing a read-write operation on the standby database.
We can convert the physical standby database to snapshot standby.
On that, we can do all types of testing or can be used as a development database.
Once the testing is over we can again convert the snapshot database to physical standby.
Once it is converted physical standby database, whatever changes were done to the snapshot standby will be reverted.
Data Guard Configuration Environment:
Overall Steps:
1. Check primary and standby database role and open mode.2. Check the archived sequence value in standby.3. Disable the MRP process.4. Check the flashback status if it not enabled, enable the flashback.5. Check the db_recovery_file_set location and size.6. Bounce the database and start the db as mount stage.7. Convert physical standby to snapshot standby database.8. Open standby database and check open mode READ/WRITE.9. Test the snapshot standby database now we can create user and tables
for testing purpose.10. verify the log sequence primary and standby.11. Bounce database again open in mount stage.12. Convert snapshot standby to physical standby.13. Bounce the database.14. Check the database role has been changed as physical standby and the
mode as read only.15. After bounce enable the MRP process and check table available or not.
Step 1- Check primary and standby database role and open mode. Primary database: [oracle@agent ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba SQL*Plus: Release 19.0.0.0.0 – Production on Thu Nov 18 14:16:48 2021 Version 19.3.0.0.0 Copyright (c) 1982, 2019, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Step 7:- Convert physical standby to snapshot standby database: SQL> alter database convert to snapshot standby; Database altered.
Step 8:- Open standby database check read/write mode, and database role: SQL> alter database open; Database altered. SQL> select status, instance_name, database_role,open_mode from v$database, v$instance; STATUS INSTANCE_NAME DATABASE_ROLE OPEN_MODE ———— —————- —————- ——————– MOUNTED data SNAPSHOT STANDBY MOUNTED
Step 9:- Test the snapshot standby database now we can create user and tables for testing purposes. SQL> create user agent identified by vbt default tablespace users quota unlimited on users; User created SQL> grant connect,resource to agent; Grant succeeded. SQL> conn agent/vbt Connected. SQL> create table test(id number,name varchar2(20)); Table created. SQL> insert into test values(101,’ram’); 1 row created. SQL> insert into test values(102,’raj’); 1 row created. SQL> commit; Commit complete. SQL> select * from test; ID NAME ———- ——————– 101 ram 102 raj
Step 10:- verify the log sequence primary and standby. Primary side SQL> select thread#,max(sequence#) from v$archived_log group by thread#; THREAD# MAX(SEQUENCE#) ———- ————– 1 14 Standby side SQL> select thread#,max(sequence#) from v$archived_log group by thread#;
Step 11:- Bounce database again open in mount stage. SQL> shut immediate Database closed. Database dismounted. ORACLE instance shut down. SQL> startup mount ORACLE instance started.

Description: In this Blog we are going to see the step by step process of data Guard configuration, and primary to physical standby database demo.
what Is Data Guard:
Oracle data Guard ensures high availability, data protection, and disaster recovery for enterprise data.
Data Guard maintains these standby databases as transactional consistent copies of the production database.
if the production database becomes unavailable, Data Guard can switch any standby database to the production role.
Physical Standby
Physical Standby is the exact block-for-block copy of primary database.
REDO logs apply primary to physical standby, its always sync with primary database
Physical Standby database only opened as READ ONLY mode.
Most of the environment used the physical standby database.
Environment Details: Overall Steps:
1.Check Archive log mode enable and force logging enabled.2.Add Standby log file group.3.check listener and TNS entry both primary and standby severs.4.Change parameters in primary database.5.copy password file primary to standby.6.Create PFILE in standby database.7.Create directory Structure in Standby database.8.Connect RMAN in standby database and run the script9.Check database can be configured or not.10.Connect standby database execute MRP process.11.Switch Logs in primary database, Execute Defer Enable.12.Check standby database log files can be switched.13.Crosscheck Alert Log files.
Primary Server Configuration:
Step 1: Check Archive log mode enable and force logging enabled.
In the primary database check whether the archive log mode is enabled or not, also check the force logging option to enable if is not enabled please enable it.
[oracle@agent ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=agent [oracle@agent ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition Release 19.0.0.0.0 – Production Version 19.3.0.0.0
Connect database as mount stage
SQL> alter database archivelog; Database altered. SQL> alter database force logging; Database altered. SQL> alter database open; Database altered. SQL> select FORCE_LOGGING,log_mode from v$database;
FORCE_LOGGING LOG_MODE
————————- ————–
YES ARCHIVELOG
Step 2: Add Standby logfile group.
Add logfile group in the primary database mentioned as that file creation as standby log group.
SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 4 ‘/u01/app/oracle/oradata/AGENT/redo04.log’ size 50m; Database altered.
SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 5 ‘/u01/app/oracle/oradata/AGENT/redo05.log’ size 50m; Database altered.
SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 6 ‘/u01/app/oracle/oradata/AGENT/redo06.log’ size 50m; Database altered.
SQL> SELECT GROUP#,THREAD#,SEQUENCE#,ARCHIVED,STATUS FROM V$STANDBY_LOG;
The output of tns ping statements connects both sides primary to standby and standby to primary.
[oracle@agent admin]$ tnsping data TNS Ping Utility for Linux: Version 19.0.0.0.0 – Production on 18-NOV-2021 07:19:44 Copyright (c) 1997, 2019, Oracle. All rights reserved.

[oracle@agent admin]$ tnsping agent TNS Ping Utility for Linux: Version 19.0.0.0.0 – Production on 18-NOV-2021 07:19:55 Copyright (c) 1997, 2019, Oracle. All rights reserved. Used parameter files: Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.1)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = agent))) OK (0 msec) [oracle@agent admin]$
Step 4:Change parameters in primary database.
1. dg_config – Specify the DG_CONFIG attribute to identify the DB_UNIQUE_NAME for the primary database and standby database. SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_config=’dg_config=(agent,data)’ SCOPE=both; System altered.
2. log_archive_dest_1 – The LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter is used to specify the directory to which Oracle archive logs are written. SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_dest_1=’location=use_db_recovery_file_dest valid_for=(all_logfiles,all_roles) db_unique_name=agent’ SCOPE=both; System altered.
3. log_archive_dest_2 – handle the transmission of the standby site’s archived redo logs back to the original primary database. SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_dest_2=’service=data async valid_for=(online_logfiles,primary_role) db_unique_name=data’ SCOPE=both; System altered.
4. FAL_SERVER – It is used to fetch an archive log server for a standby database. SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET fal_server=’data’ SCOPE=both; System altered.
5. FAL_CLIENT – It is configured for point the FAL Client. SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET fal_client=’agent’ SCOPE=both; System altered.
6. standby_file_management –Check the redo changes done in Primary and sync those changes in Standby by Stopping the recovery and making STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT = MANUAL value. Then sync the primary changes with standby changes and again change the parameter to AUTO and start the recovery on Standby database. SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET standby_file_management=’AUTO’ SCOPE=both; System altered.
SQL> show parameter log_archive_config;
NAME TYPE VALUE ———————————— ———– —————————— log_archive_config string dg_config=(agent,data) SQL>
Move the file in new name db_unique_name(standby) oracle@data ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs [oracle@data dbs]$ ls hc_data.dat init.ora lkDATA orapwdata orapwagent spfiledata.ora [oracle@data dbs]$ mv orapwagent orapwdata
Step 6 :- create PFILE in standby database
In the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory of the standby system, create an initialization parameter file named initdata.ora Containing a single parameter: DB_NAME=agent [oracle@data dbs]$ cat initdata.ora db_name=agent [oracle@data dbs]$ pwd /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/dbs
Step 7 :- Create directory Structure in Standby database.
[oracle@data dbs]$ cd $ORACLE_BASE/admin/ [oracle@data dbs]$ mkdir data [oracle@data dbs]$ cd data [oracle@data dbs]$ mkdir adump [oracle@data dbs]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DATA
Step 8 :- Connect RMAN clone Database
method 1: copy pfile primary database to standby edit the parameters after that connect RMAN and clone the database.
parameter_value_convert ‘agent’,’data’ set db_name=’agent’ set db_unique_name=’data’ set db_file_name_convert=’/u01/app/oracle/oradata/AGENT/’,’/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DATA/’ set log_file_name_convert=’/u01/app/oracle/oradata/AGENT/’,’/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DATA/’ set control_files=’/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DATA/standby1.ctl’ set log_archive_max_processes=’5′ set fal_client=’data’ set fal_server=’agent’ set standby_file_management=’AUTO’ set log_archive_config=’dg_config=(agent,data)’ set compatible=’19.3.0.0′ set memory_target=’1200m’
method 2:
craete a RMAN script mention the parameters changes in spfile to execute the script.

A materialized view in Oracle is a database object that contains the results of a query.They are local copies of data located remotely, or are used to create summary tables based on aggregations of a table’s data.
A materialized view can query tables, views, and other materialized views.
A materialized view, or snapshot as they were previously known, is a table segment whose contents are periodically refreshed based on a query, either against a local or remote table.
Syntax
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW view-name BUILD [IMMEDIATE | DEFERRED] REFRESH [FAST | COMPLETE | FORCE ] ON [COMMIT | DEMAND ][[ENABLE | DISABLE] QUERY REWRITE] AS SELECT …;
Methods
BUILD
IMMEDIATE : The materialized view is populated immediately.This option is default one.
DEFERRED : The materialized view is populated on the first requested refresh.
Refresh Types
FAST: A fast refresh is attempted only there is a change in the base table. If materialized view logs are not present against the source tables in advance, the creation fails. To maintain the history of change in the base table, it is known as materialized view log.It is named as MLOG$_<base_table>. Materialized view log will be located in the source database in the same schema as the master table. Refresh fast will perform refresh according to the changes that occurred in the master table.
COMPLETE: The table segment supporting the materialized view is truncated and repopulated completely using the associated query.
FORCE: A fast refresh is attempted. If one is not possible a complete refresh is performed.
ON COMMIT : The refresh is triggered by a committed data change in one of the dependent tables.
ON DEMAND : The refresh is initiated by a manual request or a scheduled task.

Grant succeeded.

Creating links is a kind of shortcut to access a file. Links allow more than one file name to refer to the same file.
There are two types of links :
Hard Link
Soft Link or Symbolic links
Hard Link
A hard link is one most power full links in the Linux system when we create a hard link to the file and then delete the file, we can still access the file using the hard link.

Soft Link or Symbolic links
Soft link is another variety type of Linux link, But if we create a soft link of the file and then delete the file, we can’t access the file through the soft link, and the soft link becomes dangling
Syntax: ln -s file_name link_name
Eg: ln -s ramkumar.txt ram
Eg: ls -s sample.txt kar[oracle@oracletest scripts]$ ln -s sample.txt kar

locate command and find command is used to search a file by name. But, the difference between both commands is that locating command is a background process and searches the file in the database whereas, find command searches in the file system. The locate command is much faster than the find command.
We have some options in locating search commands by locate -h (help cmd) Search for entries in a locate database.
-A, --all only print entries that match all patterns
-b, --basename match only the base name of path names
-c, --count only print number of found entries
-d, --database DBPATH use DBPATH instead of default database (which is
/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db)
-e, --existing only print entries for currently existing files
-L, --follow follow trailing symbolic links when checking file
existence (default)
-h, --help print this help
-i, --ignore-case ignore case distinctions when matching patterns
-l, --limit, -n LIMIT limit output (or counting) to LIMIT entries
-m, --mmap ignored, for backward compatibility
-P, --nofollow, -H don't follow trailing symbolic links when checking file
existence
-0, --null separate entries with NUL on output
-S, --statistics don't search for entries, print statistics about each
used database
-q, --quiet report no error messages about reading databases
-r, --regexp REGEXP search for basic regexp REGEXP instead of patterns
--regex patterns are extended regexps
-s, --stdio ignored, for backward compatibility
-V, --version print version information
-w, --wholename match whole path name (default)
find command is one of the most powerful tools in Linux, It supports searching by file, folder, name, creation date, modification date, owner, and permissions.
By using the ‘-exec’
Syntax: find [where to start searching from]
[expression determines what to find] [-options] [what to find]
Eg: find ramkumar
Options :
-exec CMD: The file being searched which meets the above criteria and returns 0
for as its exit status for successful command execution.
-ok CMD : It works same as -exec except the user is prompted first.
-inum N : Search for files with inode number ‘N’.
-links N : Search for files with ‘N’ links.
-name demo : Search for files that are specified by ‘demo’.
-newer file : Search for files that were modified/created after ‘file’.
-perm octal : Search for the file if permission is ‘octal’.
-print : Display the path name of the files found by using the rest of the criteria.
-empty : Search for empty files and directories.
-size +N/-N : Search for files of ‘N’ blocks; ‘N’ followed by ‘c’can be used to
measure size in characters; ‘+N’ means size > ‘N’ blocks and ‘-N’ means
size < 'N' blocks.
-user name : Search for files owned by user name or ID ‘name’.
\(expr \) : True if ‘expr’ is true; used for grouping criteria combined with OR or AND.
! expr : True if ‘expr’ is false.
