    Informatica Interview Questions and Answers

    Informatica Interview Questions and Answers

    Q. What type of repositories can be created using Informatica Repository Manager?
    A. Informatica PowerCenter includeds following type of repositories :
    •Standalone Repository : A repository that functions individually and this is unrelated to any other repositories.
    •Global Repository : This is a centralized repository in a domain. This repository can contain shared objects across the repositories in a domain. The objects are shared through global shortcuts.
    •Local Repository : Local repository is within a domain and it’s not a global repository. Local repository can connect to a global repository using global shortcuts and can use objects in it’s shared folders.
    •Versioned Repository : This can either be local or global repository but it allows version control for the repository. A versioned repository can store multiple copies, or versions of an object. This features allows to efficiently develop, test and deploy metadata in the production environment.
    Q. What is a code page?
    A. A code page contains encoding to specify characters in a set of one or more languages. The code page is selected based on source of the data. For example if source contains Japanese text then the code page should be selected to support Japanese text.
    When a code page is chosen, the program or application for which the code page is set, refers to a specific set of data that describes the characters the application recognizes. This influences the way that application stores, receives, and sends character data.
    Q. Which all databases PowerCenter Server on Windows can connect to?
    A. PowerCenter Server on Windows can connect to following databases:
    •IBM DB2
    •Informix
    •Microsoft Access
    •Microsoft Excel
    •Microsoft SQL Server
    •Oracle
    •Sybase
    •Teradata
    Q. Which all databases PowerCenter Server on UNIX can connect to?
    A. PowerCenter Server on UNIX can connect to following databases:
    •IBM DB2
    •Informix
    •Oracle
    •Sybase
    •Teradata
    Informatica Mapping Designer
    Q. How to execute PL/SQL script from Informatica mapping?
    A. Stored Procedure (SP) transformation can be used to execute PL/SQL Scripts. In SP Transformation PL/SQL procedure name can be specified. Whenever the session is executed, the session will call the pl/sql procedure.
    Q. How can you define a transformation? What are different types of transformations available in Informatica?
    A. A transformation is a repository object that generates, modifies, or passes data. The Designer provides a set of transformations that perform specific functions. For example, an Aggregator transformation performs calculations on groups of data. Below are the various transformations available in Informatica:
    •Aggregator
    •Application Source Qualifier
    •Custom
    •Expression
    •External Procedure
    •Filter
    •Input
    •Joiner
    •Lookup
    •Normalizer
    •Output
    •Rank
    •Router
    •Sequence Generator
    •Sorter
    •Source Qualifier
    •Stored Procedure
    •Transaction Control
    •Union
    •Update Strategy
    •XML Generator
    •XML Parser
    •XML Source Qualifier
    Q. What is a source qualifier? What is meant by Query Override?
    A. Source Qualifier represents the rows that the PowerCenter Server reads from a relational or flat file source when it runs a session. When a relational or a flat file source definition is added to a mapping, it is connected to a Source Qualifier transformation.
    PowerCenter Server generates a query for each Source Qualifier Transformation whenever it runs the session. The default query is SELET statement containing all the source columns. Source Qualifier has capability to override this default query by changing the default settings of the transformation properties. The list of selected ports or the order they appear in the default query should not be changed in overridden query.
    Q. What is aggregator transformation?
    A. The Aggregator transformation allows performing aggregate calculations, such as averages and sums. Unlike Expression Transformation, the Aggregator transformation can only be used to perform calculations on groups. The Expression transformation permits calculations on a row-by-row basis only.
    Aggregator Transformation contains group by ports that indicate how to group the data. While grouping the data, the aggregator transformation outputs the last row of each group unless otherwise specified in the transformation properties.
    Various group by functions available in Informatica are : AVG, COUNT, FIRST, LAST, MAX, MEDIAN, MIN, PERCENTILE, STDDEV, SUM, VARIANCE.
    Q. What is Incremental Aggregation?
    A. Whenever a session is created for a mapping Aggregate Transformation, the session option for Incremental Aggregation can be enabled. When PowerCenter performs incremental aggregation, it passes new source data through the mapping and uses historical cache data to perform new aggregation calculations incrementally.
    Q. How Union Transformation is used?
    A. The union transformation is a multiple input group transformation that can be used to merge data from various sources (or pipelines). This transformation works just like UNION ALL statement in SQL, that is used to combine result set of two SELECT statements.
    Q. Can two flat files be joined with Joiner Transformation?
    A. Yes, joiner transformation can be used to join data from two flat file sources.
    Q. What is a look up transformation?
    A. This transformation is used to lookup data in a flat file or a relational table, view or synonym. It compares lookup transformation ports (input ports) to the source column values based on the lookup condition. Later returned values can be passed to other transformations.
    Q. Can a lookup be done on Flat Files?
    A. Yes.
    Q. What is the difference between a connected look up and unconnected look up?
    A. Connected lookup takes input values directly from other transformations in the pipleline.
    Unconnected lookup doesn’t take inputs directly from any other transformation, but it can be used in any transformation (like expression) and can be invoked as a function using :LKP expression. So, an unconnected lookup can be called multiple times in a mapping.
    Q. What is a mapplet?
    A. A mapplet is a reusable object that is created using mapplet designer. The mapplet contains set of transformations and it allows us to reuse that transformation logic in multiple mappings.
    Q. What does reusable transformation mean?
    A. Reusable transformations can be used multiple times in a mapping. The reusable transformation is stored as a metadata separate from any other mapping that uses the transformation. Whenever any changes to a reusable transformation are made, all the mappings where the transformation is used will be invalidated.
    Q. What is update strategy and what are the options for update strategy?
    A. Informatica processes the source data row-by-row. By default every row is marked to be inserted in the target table. If the row has to be updated/inserted based on some logic Update Strategy transformation is used. The condition can be specified in Update Strategy to mark the processed row for update or insert.
    Following options are available for update strategy :
    •DD_INSERT : If this is used the Update Strategy flags the row for insertion. Equivalent numeric value of DD_INSERT is 0.
    •DD_UPDATE : If this is used the Update Strategy flags the row for update. Equivalent numeric value of DD_UPDATE is 1.
    •DD_DELETE : If this is used the Update Strategy flags the row for deletion. Equivalent numeric value of DD_DELETE is 2.
    •DD_REJECT : If this is used the Update Strategy flags the row for rejection. Equivalent numeric value of DD_REJECT is 3.

    Server Performance Data Collection – Collectl

    Server Performance Data Collection
    1. Disk
    2. CPU
    3. Network … Etc
    There are a number of times in which you find yourself needing performance data. These can include benchmarking, monitoring a system’s general heath or trying to determine what your system was doing at some time in the past. Sometimes you just want to know what the system is doing right now. Depending on what you’re doing, you often end up using different tools, each designed to for that specific situation.
    Unlike most monitoring tools that either focus on a small set of statistics, format their output in only one way, run either interatively or as a daemon but not both, collectl tries to do it all. You can choose to monitor any of a broad set of subsystems which currently include buddyinfo, cpu, disk, inodes, infiniband, lustre, memory, network, nfs, processes, quadrics, slabs, sockets and tcp.
    By default it shows cpu, network and disk stats in brief format. The key point of this format is all output appears on a single line making it much easier to spot spikes or other anomalies in the output:
    [oracle@Mudhalvan] collectl
    while writing to an NFS mounted filesystem, collectl displays interrupts, memory usage and nfs activity with timestamps. Keep in mind that you can mix and match any data and in the case of brief format you simply need to have a window wide enough to accommodate your output.
    [oracle@Mudhalvan] collectl -sjmf -oT
    You can also display the same information in verbose format, in which case you get a single line for each type of data at the expense of more screen real estate, as can be seen in this example of network data during NFS writes. Note how you can actually see the network traffic stall while waiting for the server to physically write the data.
    [oracle@Mudhalvan] collectl -sn –verbose -oT
    [oracle@Mudhalvan] collectl -sJ -oTm
    Output can also be saved in a rolling set of logs for later playback or displayed interactively in a variety of formats. If all that isn’t enough there are additional mechanisms for supplying data to external tools by generating output as s-expressions, a format of choice for some tools such as supermon or in another format called list-expressions. This output can be written to a file or sent over a socket. You can even create files in space-separated format for plotting with external packages like gnuplot or colplot, part of the collectl utilities project, which provides a web-based interface to gnuplot.
    Collectl runs on all linux distros (it’s included as part of Fedora) and only requires perl. If the perl Time::Hires module is installed, you will be able to use fractional intervals and display timestamps in msecs. If the Compress::Zlib module is installed the recorded data will be compressed and therefore use on average 90% less storage when recording to a file. Also note that the above links are not for RPMs. If you’d rather work with RPMs there are far too many versions out there to link to and so I’m sorry to say you’re on your own.
    Did you know there was an inconsistency in the way Linux reported disk metrics that wasn’t even noticed/fixed until the 2.6-14 kernel was released? Collectl did. Or how about the fact that network stats may not accurately reported by most network monitoring tools at one second intervals? See this page for a description of the problem and how you can get more accurate stats by simply running collectl at a sub-second interval.

    Data Guard Background processes

    Data Guard Background processes
    DMON – The Data Guard Broker process.
    SNP – The snapshot process.
    MRP – Managed recovery process – For Data Guard, the background process that applies archived redo log to the standby database.
    ORBn – performs the actual rebalance data extent movements in an Automatic Storage Management instance. There can be many of these at a time, called ORB0, ORB1, and so forth.
    OSMB – is present in a database instance using an Automatic Storage Management disk group. It communicates with the Automatic Storage Management instance.
    RFS – Remote File Server process – In Data Guard, the remote file server process on the standby database receives archived redo logs from the primary database.
    QMN – Queue Monitor Process (QMNn) – Used to manage Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing.

    How to set Data Protection Mode of a Primary Database

    How to set Data Protection Mode of a Primary Database
    Step 1 Select a data protection mode that meets your availability, performance and data protection requirements.
    Step 2 Verify that redo transport is configured to at least one standby database The value of the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n database initialization parameter that corresponds to the standby database must include the redo transport attributes listed for the data protection mode that you are moving to.
    Maximum Protection, Availability – AFFIRM,SYNC, DB_UNIQUE_NAME
    Maximum Performance – NOAFFIRM, ASYNC, DB_UNIQUE_NAME
    Step 3 Verify that the DB_UNIQUE_NAME database initialization parameter has been set to a unique name on the primary and standby database.
    Step 4 Verify that the LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG database initialization parameter has been defined on the primary and standby database and that its value includes a DG_CONFIG list that includes the DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the primary and standby database.
    SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG=’DG_CONFIG=(MMPRY,MMSTB)’;
    Step 5 Shut down the primary database and restart it in mounted mode if the protection mode is being set to Maximum Protection or being changed from Maximum Performance to Maximum Availability. If the primary database is an Oracle Real Applications Cluster, shut down all of the instances and then start and mount a single instance.
    For example:
    SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
    SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
    Step 6 Set the data protection mode.
    Execute the following SQL statement on the primary database:
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE SET STANDBY DATABASE TO MAXIMIZE {AVAILABILITY | PERFORMANCE | PROTECTION};
    Step 7 Open the primary database.
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
    Step 8 Confirm that the primary database is operating in the new protection mode.
    SQL> SELECT PROTECTION_MODE FROM V$DATABASE;

    What are Oracle Clusterware processes for 10g on Unix and Linux

    Cluster Synchronization Services (ocssd) — Manages cluster node membership and runs as the oracle user; failure of this process results in cluster restart.
    Cluster Ready Services (crsd) — The crs process manages cluster resources (which could be a database, an instance, a service, a Listener, a virtual IP (VIP) address, an application process, and so on) based on the resource’s configuration information that is stored in the OCR. This includes start, stop, monitor and failover operations. This process runs as the root user
    Event manager daemon (evmd) —A background process that publishes events that crs creates.
    Process Monitor Daemon (OPROCD) —This process monitor the cluster and provide I/O fencing. OPROCD performs its check, stops running, and if the wake up is beyond the expected time, then OPROCD resets the processor and reboots the node. An OPROCD failure results in Oracle Clusterware restarting the node. OPROCD uses the hangcheck timer on Linux platforms.
    RACG (racgmain, racgimon) —Extends clusterware to support Oracle-specific requirements and complex resources. Runs server callout scripts when FAN events occur.

    DBA Interview Questions – Part 2

    1) Primary database scn is 22 and standby SCN is 24 how you will resolve this issue.
    2) Archive log got deleted before shipped to standby location how you will resolve this issue.
    3) 3 users running same select but one of them response time is 1hr and for other few minutes how u will diagnose this.
    4) What is advantage of ASM over os storage and raw storage.
    5) What is remastering in RAC
    6) How you can see database version at OS level.
    7) A job is running since long it was working fine earlier how you will check that
    8) How you will suggest joins to developer
    9) 3 databases sizes 10gb, 100gb, 1TB how which database will take more time.
    10) You lost control file database is using RMAN backup with nocatalog. If you loose whole db as well same time how you recover database.
    11) what is sync, and async in standby how it works.
    12) Shut immediate is taking too much time how you diagnose what is the issue.
    13) How you take backup of OCR.
    14) What will happen if voting disk is down.
    15) What will happen if virtual IP is down in RAC.
    VIP – Virtual IP address in RAC
    VIP is mainly used for fast connection in failover.
    Until 9i RAC faileover we used physical IP address of another server. When the connection request come from a client to server, then failure of first server listener then RAC redirect the connection request to second available server using physical IP address. Hence it is physical IP address rediretion to second physical IP address is possible only after we get timeout error from First Physical IP address. So connection should wait a while for getting TCP connection timeout.
    From RAC 10g we can use the VIP to save connection timeout wait, Because ONS (Oracle Notification Service) maintains communication between each nodes and listeners. Once ONS found any listener down or node down, it will notify another nodes and listeners. While new connection is trying to establish connection to failure node or listener, virtual IP of failure node automatically divert to surviving node. This Process will not wait for TCP/IP timeout event. So new connection will be faster even one listener/node failed.

    Today's Quote

    I am not afraid of the one who know 1000 steps,but i am afraid of the one who practices a single step 10000 times

    -Bruce Lee

    "Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is the way great spiritual giants are produced."

    - Swami Vivekananda

    Focus on one task at a time

    In reality, you can only focus and place effort on one task at a time. It is better to have one task fully completed than have several uncompleted tasks. When you focus on several things at the same time, you simply don’t get alot achieved and you are creating hardly any room for error. Also your concentration becomes more scattered when you focus on too many things at once.



    This is a humble initiative for providing self help to people who really want to enhance their skills in Oracle Apps DBA, with special emphasis to the Administration area. The main motive behind this initiative has been the difficulties which I had faced when I ventured out to try my hands at Oracle Apps DB Administration. Though there were lots of information available out there in the web, I didn't find most of them handy as they didn't give importance to the fact that many people will look for detailed step by step explanation of each activity. So, I had to go through many channels to finally get the hold on the subject and reach the level I am in today. This was a tough and tedious process, and especially due to this reason, I wanted to come up with a simple and straight forward set of articles which will serve as a kind of "do it yourself" guide for all those who want to venture out to the galaxy of Oracle Apps DB Administration..

    Also, anybody wants to contribute any article on Oracle and follows the standards what I have followed, I shall publish the same and I shall mention the author name. I am man who goes by an example, any work done should be able to be used by any lay person that is the whole idea of this site.

    Happy learning!!


    This website is free for lifetime, and if you guys are happy with the articles and feel that it has given a value addition you can always donate to http://www.vedanta-edu.org without there encouragement I wouldn't have reached so peak.

    This site is been hosted by znet India, I really appreciate them. The content management is done using PHP, MySQL and Apache, thanks to my manager at Cambridge Solutions who has helped me to learn web designing.

    Excellent Idea
    Posted on: 2008-04-10 07:16:51 By: Anonymous
    Kishore,

    Idea of starting the site for knowledge share was excellent. I hope this site will become popular and helpful to the oracle apps world.

    I have gone through ur "My Seven days of experience in Virginia" and " Good Morning America – It works ". Good one. While reading these articles the first impression i got is you are the person who enjoys the work whatever u do whether it is oracle apps or cooking :-).. I must say u r the allrounder in all the areas of computeres - Hardare and S/W. I came to know by ur mail that you know almost every s/w and configuring hardware on ur own( I remember Which is our Guru Nekkanti's aspire) . Would like to write some articles in this site with your kind permission.

    I hope this site will be helpful to ORACLE WORLD..

    Regards,

          Honestly to get a job, prepare your resume with 3 to 4 years experience, have a system in you home, practise all the DBA/Apps DBA activities, Google is so cool, you get whatever you want.

          Practise all the regular Oracle DBA activities like Installation, Backup, Recovery, upgrades, Cloning, Patching etc, Prepare for OCP Certification, Dream about it, and one day you will succeed, if possible work as faculty

          Don't worry about experience certificates, there should be some company in world who may like your talent :)

        If you have done core DBA course, you have 2 choices to proceed, the first one is Oracle RAC or Oracle Apps DBA

        But first gain your confidence on Oracle DBA on Linux and Unix platform

      amazing Idea
      Posted on: 2012-02-23 10:46:19 By: rstiwari
      I think you are amazing . This is a best Idea to share our knowledge through online network. If it is possible to share knowledge with help of class room (workshop).
      I am from India and I think RAC and other oracle or other training is so costly. it is good idea for improving knowledge.

      Hi Kishore,

      Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts with us,this is really good site with great information. I was searching for orcale apps information , then i found this blog and its amazing.I have completed my masters in IT from Australian university and now i want to do specialization in any subject and start my career in IT.Through one of my friends suggestion i have started thinking of doing oracle apps but i really dont have an idea of what this is , how to start and where to start.can you please,guide me in a right direction and how to proceed further with this.

      I have read your article Seven days of exp in Virginia it is really great and got to now your talent, determination and passion for the work.I got motivated by reading your article and thought of asking your suggestion in shaping up my carrer in oracle apps.

      thanks

      Thanks for your comments, All the Best to you.

      Its really good career plan to move into Oracle Apps 11i DBA and my full support will be there. Let me know if you need any help from me. Its always better if you can clear your 11i or R12 certification which will boost your confidence. R12 is now in beta which costs just $50. I can surely guide you.

    Hello all.
    My name is Anup. I want to learn Oracle Apps DBA. Some of my friends are working as Ora App DBAs and they suggested me to go for it. When I asked about that course in some institutions they are suggesting me to first learn Oracle DBA and then do Apps. But my friends have a basic knowledge of Oracle and they said to directly learn Apps. Please give me some suggestion whether I have to learn DBA first & then Apps or directly Apps is OK.

      Hi,

      That's right, first we need to work as Oracle DBA then you will be comfortable working in Oracle Apps DBA that also u need to work in Linux/Unix environment. Its long way to go but you need to plan your career path accordingly and you will succeed.

      Well,
      Oracle DBA is just maintaining the Oracle database alone, but Oracle Applications is step forward, you have to maintain the Oracle Applications and the Database. Most of the activities are same as Oracle DBA, like taking backups, But here as Oracle Apps DBA, you will be involved in cloning,patching, system adminstration etc. Also, the billing rates are much better then Oracle DBA.

      Please go through the below link, what you need to know as a Oracle Applications DBA.

    First of all, I sincerely congratulate for maintaining a wonderful site with excellent updates about the e-business suite which provides a wealth of knowledge to the seekers.

    I have been a regular visitor of your articles and also been working as an Apps dba in UK. I have a small request for you. I would like to write 11i Apps DBA exam so which one should i write? I am bit confused with the numbers. Is it IZO-233? Since i am a certified 10g OCP dba i think i can write oracle IZO-233 to become 11i ebusiness suite dba. Could you please let me know which exam should i appear for.

    Thanks in advance

      You can take 1Z0_233 (11i Certification) or you can take 1Z1-238 (R12 Certification - Beta).
      Which ever you are comfortable.

      Both are different fields, you need to decide, one is developer path and second one is DBA path, for DBA path its better to learn Oracle DBA, Oracle Apps DBA, Oracle RAC DBA, Streams etc..... For Developer path, Developer forms, Oracle Apps Technical, OAF, XML/BI Publisher, SOA etc....

    I heard Oracle is developing a standard Applications with Java as front-end and so in future no career for Ora-apps technical. Is this information correct?

    I am seeking my career in Oracle Apps developing.Could you please clarify my dought?

    regards,
    Raghavendrachari

      Hi,

      You are mixing Oracle DBA and Oracle Apps funcationals modules, a Oracle Apps DBA need not know about the Apps modules, there are different people working on Oracle Apps

      > Funcational Consultants / Apps Domains Analysts / business Analysts
      > Technical Consultants
      > Oracle Apps DBA / System Adminsitrators
      > Linux / Unix Adminstrators

      Each area is a ocean and you need to choose the right path, for a Oracle DBA, Oracle Apps DBA is related where he works on below activities

    Upgradation Doubts 11i to R12 from danesh khan

    Edited By: akr14feb
    On: 2012-10-03 17:49:40
    Hi Kishore.

    This is Danesh, new to world of APPS i had seen your blog its good & informative.

    I started interviews in Apps. because in institutes they will not tell the proper up-gradation and real-time scenarios.

    I am having some doubts in 11i to R12 upgrade pls check.

    1. During upgradation why we have to drop MRC schema?

    2. Why ADI patch is required?

    3. Why ATG patches required?

    4. why we have to create or increase the size of tablespaces & which tablespaces we have to create? during upgrade?

    5. why we have to apply autoconfig patches? because autoconfig is already present?

    6. Can i practice a basic upgrade in my laptop from 11i to R12? what i need?

    7. why we have to apply patchset 19 for developer? for 11i what is the patch version for developer?

    8. we have to increase the block size also during upgrade?

    9. What are symbolic links? when it is required?

    10. One of my friend said every upgrade is different what it mean?


    Danesh,

    Here are my responses


    1. During upgradation why we have to drop MRC schema?

    Kishore - if you are upgrading from 11.5.9 or 11.5.10.2 to R12 we don't MRC, I am not sure with earlier version. I think that schema is not available in 11.5.9 or 11.5.10.2


    2. Why ADI patch is required?

    Kishore - See these threads/docs.

    version of ADI release?
    http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=4234809

    Note: 144270.1 - How to Find ADI (Applications Desktop Integrator) Patches on My Oracle Support?
    Note: 184090.1 - How to Find and Download the Latest Applications Desktop Integrator (ADI) Patches via Metalink
    Note: 382973.1 - How to Get the Latest Version of ADI Patches From Metalink

    Thanks,
    Hussein


    3. Why ATG patches required?

    Kishore - If you want 11.5.10.2 to work with 11g database then we apply interoperability patches, ATG rollup 7 is mandatory before you can upgrade

    4. why we have to create or increase the size of tablespaces & which tablespaces we have to create? during upgrade?

    Kishore - 11.5.9 follow "one product -- one schema", R12 uses OATM techonology, In OATM fewer tablespaces are used, patch 7197489 has more details which creates the necessary tablespaces.

    5. why we have to apply autoconfig patches? because autoconfig is already present?

    Kishore - It is always advisible to keep autoconfig patches to the latest, this may be a pre-req for other patches


    6. Can i practice a basic upgrade in my laptop from 11i to R12? what i need?

    Kishore It depents on the configuration you have, if you have 4 GB with 400 GB HDD u can try


    7. why we have to apply patchset 19 for developer? for 11i what is the patch version for developer?

    Kishore - This is pre-req, if you are upgrading the database to latest version. Refer interoperability patches note


    8. we have to increase the block size also during upgrade?

    Kishore - I have never done during my upgrade experience


    9. What are symbolic links? when it is required?

    Kishore - In computing, a symbolic link (also symlink or soft link) is a special type of file that contains a reference to another file

    If you install R12 on Oracle Enterprise linux, apache fails and here is the solution

    ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2

    Also, we create a symbolic link for the Apps environement file as follows instead of copying it

    APPSEBS.env -> /d02/oracle/EBS/apps/apps_st/appl/APPSEBS_linux1.env


    10. One of my friend said every upgrade is different what it mean?

    Kishore - Yes, your friend is right, I have done 5 upgrades and each was different experiences, one was 11.5.9 to R12.1.3, other was OS upgrade AIX to Linux and Application upgrade from 11.5.10.2 to R12.1.3. The experience count but it may slightely vary.

    Have a Great Day !!!

    Queries from Sohail
    Posted on: 2012-10-03 18:11:43 By: akr14feb
    Query 1

    Hi Kishore.


    This is Sohail fresher to APPS hunting for a job. It was nice to see your blog its very informative.specially patching & Cloining.

    i have some doubts pls clear.

    1. when i submitted Active users request only the result is displaying request submitted sucessfully. i think this request is submitted to check how many acitve users are connected to the application.

    purpose for submitting this request.

    Thanks in Advance.
    Sohail


    Here is my responses

    Hmm, the Active users - only will let us know the Active users in out database but not connected users

    Use the below link to the connected users


    http://onlineappsdba.blogspot.in/2008/05/count-total-number-of-users-connected.html

    Thanks
    Kishore


    Thank u kishore

    Sohail


    Query 2

    Hi Kishore,

    Hope you are fine, pls check this doubt.

    In one of my friends company every first week of the month they are running Accounting report from front end.

    which is generating huge archive logs and they are increasing space also in archive logs destination.

    They are using R12.


    My doubt is just to understand this business application.

    1. What is this accounting report & when to run this accounting report.
    2. Why it is taking more space in archive log destination.
    3. Accounting report is a request which will submitted by the application users ?

    Pls clear this.

    Regard's.

    Kishore

    Honestly for a Apps DBA it doesn't matter what report they run, if they require space we just add them, there ends the story, we don't really care what a program does.

    Thanks
    Kishore


    Thank u somuch
    Sohail


    Query 3

    Hi Kishore.



    Hope you are fine.

    1. what is the difference between EXADATA & Oracle E-Business Suite?

    2. what is the difference between ORACLE10g AS & Oracle E-Business Suite?

    Today i given one interview on core dba this company is having very large setup they said & they are maintainng

    Exadata & Oracle10g AS.

    Hi -

    Oracle Exadata is a database appliance with support for both OLTP and OLAP workloads. It was initially designed in collaboration between Oracle Corporation and Hewlett Packard where Oracle designed the database, operating system (based on the Oracle Linux distribution), and storage software whereas HP designed the hardware for it

    ORacle EBS is for maintaining Oracle Applications like Oracle Finiancials , ORacle HRMS , Oracle manufacturing etc

    ORACLE10g AS is an application server mainly for http requests..., now it is been replaced by Fusion middleware - Weblogic Server

    Thanks
    Kishore



    Query 4

    1. Where apps passwd stores in R12?


    Kishore - apps password is not stored in Oracle R12


    2. How to clone a application in 11i & R12 if your application contains Custom Top? pls tell the steps.


    Kishore - Clone steps remain the same for custom top, for custom top u only do one change

    cd $APPL_TOP

    -- create and modify the location in the below file

    customDEV_racerp.env


    Thanks & Regard's,

    Sohail.


    Query 5

    1. Dataguard protect your database save how you protect the application can we configure data guard in oracle application to save from disaster recovery?

    ( Interview Question)

    Thanks & Regard's,

    Sohail.

    Hi Sohail,

    for apps tier, every one hour we just sync files from PROD to disaster recovery site, we actually use rsync command, which will only copy the changed values

    Kishore

    Hi Kishore,

    Thanks for your reply. before runnning this rysnc command how we have to configure data guard in application level?

    i know how to configure dataguard in database level.

    Pls tell me the steps how to do this. this is an interview question asked me france bank. i need the steps pls.

    Hi,

    The below commad is the syntax for rsync, which does a smart copy, the command can be scheduled to run evey one hour

    rsync -rltp -v prodappl /x06/oracle/testssc/ &
    rsync -rltp -v prodcomn /x06/oracle/testssc/ &
    rsync -rltp -v prodora /x06/oracle/testssc/ &

    Regards
    Kishore

    Thanks Kishore. for resync doubt

    Sohail


    Query 6


    Hi Kishore. Hope you are fine. pls check these doubts in Cmclean.

    1. what is the difference between cmclean.sql and EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN;
    2. where is the location of cmclean.sql script?
    3. why after running cmclean we have to give commit;
    4. When to run cmclean.sql ?
    5. when to run EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN ?

    Regard's,
    Sohail.



    1. what is the difference between cmclean.sql and EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN;

    cmclean is normally used when cm doesn't come up, EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN will clean fnd_nodes tables after we run autoconfig on db and apps tier which populate the table

    2. where is the location of cmclean.sql script?

    cmclean is available at Oracle Metalink, attached the same

    3. why after running cmclean we have to give commit;


    it cleans the concurrent requests which are either lost which are called runaway processes or not completed, once we run this scripts it fixed this issues and we do need to commit to make the changes permanent

    4. When to run cmclean.sql ?


    when cm is not coming up, sometimes we bring down the database without shutting the concurrent processsion server, all the requests are in middle, the cm not come up, so you need to run cmclean to make this requests closed so that cm can come up


    Sohail

    Hi Kishore

    You Said..

    Cm clean is normally used when cm doesn't come up Ok its fine.


    1. But still not understood why to run this EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN you said it will clean fnd _nodes tables after we run autoconfig.

    what it will clean from fnd _nodes ?

    2. After running cm clean we have to run this EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN or plstell me the sequence of running this two commands?

    3. How we have to run cmclean after downloading from metallink from which node and what is the syntax? & what are the prerequisites. like in your attachment i read we have to

    bring down concurrent managers.....

    EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN is only used for when you clone from PROD to TEST or when database name is changed.

    cmclean is used when cm doesn't come up

    bring down application, all concurrent managers should be down

    now run cmclean.sql connecting as apps user


    Sohail

    NOW ITS CLEAR



      Re: Queries from Sohail
      Posted on: 2012-10-05 09:40:27 By: akr14feb
      1. OATM feature is it club all the tablespaces into 14 tablespaces i think?

      pls explain OATM how it reduces the burden on application and how easy for apps dba to manage by comparing to
      old version of tablespaces ?


      Kishore - For apps version 11.5.10 and older, each product had one tablespace, using OATM u can convert tablespaces to fewer tablespaces, in net u should get the information, we did for couple of clients


      2. can i add datafile or resize APPS_TS_TX_DATA ?

      Kishore - Yes, we normally suggest 20% fee space, if it is less then we add datafile

      3. if data is inserting on a datafiles which is connected to APPS_TS_TX_DATA and that datafile table is indexed

      how APPS_TS_TX_IDX will grow my doubt is how rapidly APPS_TS_TX_IDX will grow?

      Kishore - Why you are worried about it, we normally have maintain the database leave other to Oracle to maintain

      5. How to administrator APPS_TS_TX_IDX tablespace like adding or rebuilding indexes?

      Kishore - The same way you do for any tablespace. For adding we use the below command

      alter tablespace APPS_TS_TX_IDX add datafile '/d01/oracle/TEST/db/apps_st/data/a_txn_ind19.dbf' size 200m autoextend on next 200m maxsize 2000m;

    Hi Kishore

    In realtime

    1. When we have to compile forms & when we have to compile reports?

    2. What will happen when we compile forms ? pls tell what happen internally.

    3. What will happen when we compile reports? how this compilation happens internally.

    Regards,

    Raj.

    Hi Raj,

    1. When we have to compile forms & when we have to compile reports?

    Kishore - mostly for custom forms and custom reports, we only compile forms but for reports it is just a copy in binary format

    2. What will happen when we compile forms ? pls tell what happen internally.

    Below commands are used for compile forms,once compilation is done, fmx (runtime version) is copied to corresponding custom top location which is mentioned as output_file


    11i
    f60gen userid=apps/apps module=xxtest.fmb output_file=$XXTEST_TOP/forms/US/xxerp.fmx module_type=form

    R12
    frmcmp_batch module=xxerp.fmb userid=apps/apps compile_all=special batch=yes output_file=$XXTEST_TOP/forms/US/xxerp.fmx


    3. What will happen when we compile reports? how this compilation happens internally.

    There is no compilation of reports, we directly copy the rdf file
