      Oracle Server Menu

    Activate Oracle Server (Util O/1/1)

    In order for Primo to interact with Oracle, the Oracle server must be running. When Primo is installed on the same server as the Primo database, it does not require the Listener. However, the Listener must run on the server if a third-party product is used to connect Primo and the database or if there is a remote server connected to the database. For example, when Primo is installed on one server and the database is on a different server, the Listener must be running on the database server in order for Primo to operate correctly.
    Primo and Oracle may start automatically at boot time (if this option is set during installation).
    • This operation requires the PRIMO_DBA user name and password.
    • This utility will not be available if the Oracle database and the Primo application are installed on separate servers.
    To start up the Oracle server:
    1. Enter option 1 from the Oracle Server menu.
      The following prompt displays:
      To continue you will need to enter PRIMO DBA username/password.
      Username/password: primo_dba/<primo_dba password=""/>
    2. Enter the PRIMO_DBA user name and password to activate the Oracle server.
      The PRIMO_DBA user, which is created during installation, is provided with database administration privileges that allow you to start up or shut down the database.

    Close Oracle Server (Util O/1/2)

    This operation requires the PRIMO_DBA user name and password.
    This utility shuts down the Oracle server immediately by activating the Oracle shutdown immediate option. All the clients connected to the server are immediately logged out.
    To shut down the Oracle server:
    1. Enter option 2 from the Oracle Server menu. To access this menu, see Oracle Server (Util O/1).
      The following prompt displays:
      Do you want to restart Oracle server after closing? yes/[no]
    2. Enter yes to shut down and the restart the server automatically.
      The following prompt displays:
      To close Oracle server enter PRIMO DBA username/password.
      username/password:primo_dba/<primo_dba password=""/>
      To restart the server later, see Activate Oracle Server (Util O/1/1).
    3. Enter the PRIMO_DBA user name and password to activate the Oracle server.
      The PRIMO_DBA user, which is created during installation, is provided with database administration privileges that allow you to start up or shut down the database.

    Show Running Oracle Server (Util O/1/3)

    This utility displays the background processes and the dispatchers and shared servers that are used by your Oracle instance (database).
    If the utility fails to generate any output, activate the Oracle server (see Activate Oracle Server (Util O/1/1)).
    To display Oracle processes, enter option 3 from the Oracle Server menu.
    The running processes for your Oracle instance displays. For example:

    Archiving (Util O/7)

    Primo backup and recovery procedures are based on Oracle. In order to provide complete recovery of data up to the time of failure, the Oracle database mode must be archivelog mode. This ensures full recovery up to the time of failure. Hot backup cannot be performed without first enabling archivelog mode of the database.
    If the database is in noarchivelog mode, only cold backups can be performed. A cold backup restores data to the time the last backup was performed. This means that all changes from the time of failure are lost.
    Ex Libris highly recommends archivelog mode because in this mode, both cold and hot backups can be used to recover the database right up to the time of the failure. To ensure a complete recovery, all the archive files that were generated from the time of the backup (hot or cold) until the time of failure must be available.
    Refer to the Oracle backup manual for more information on the preliminary actions that are required before using Util O/7.
    • Changing the archiving mode shuts down the database and restarts it in archivelog mode.
      When running pipes (such as pipes set to No Harvesting - Update Data Source) that add or change a large amount of data, it is recommended that you stop Oracle archiving, as this slows down the process and fills up the disk. Immediately after the process is complete, perform a full cold backup and then turn archiving back on.
    • Always perform a full cold backup immediately after switching to archivelog mode. If you do not do this, there will be a gap in the archivelog files, which will prevent a full recovery.
    The Archiving menu allows you to manage archiving.

    Show Tablespaces Definition (Util O/17/4)

    You may need to increase the space that certain database tables use. All tablespaces in Primo are created as locally-managed tablespaces. When working with locally-managed tablespaces, the word local appears in the EXT-MGMT (extent management) column.
    When using locally-managed tablespaces, the following types of extent allocation appear in the ALLOC_TYP column:
    • SYSTEM (Auto Allocate)—In auto allocation, Oracle automatically assumes full control, allocating extents as needed and taking into account the initial allocation of the table/index as configured in the create table/index command. For example, if initial allocation of the table/index is 1GB, Oracle might split the 1GB into 50 extents, a single extent, or any other combination of extents.
    • UNIFORM—In uniform allocation, the DBA determines a standard size for all the extents in the tablespace. All the extents in the tablespace are of that size, without regard to the extent definitions in the Create Table command. The DBA determines which table is assigned to which tablespace depending on the table size. Hence, in uniform allocation, there is no fragmentation, and space utilization is optimal. For example, when creating a tablespace with a uniform extent size of 10 MB, five extents will be used for a table of 50 MB.
    To display the tablespace definitions, enter option 4 from the Database Tablespaces menu.

    Multi Threaded Server (Util O/20)

    In a standard Oracle configuration, a separate server process is created on behalf of each user process. This is called a Dedicated Server Process (or Shadow process) because it acts only on behalf of the associated user process.
    Oracle also supports the Shared Server Architecture (or Multi Threaded Server Architecture - MTS) in which there are several server processes, each serving several user processes.
    In Primo, The MTS infrastructure exists in the database but is only implemented in special cases, and in coordination with Ex Libris. This group of utilities supports MTS.
    The following menu allows you to manage these servers.
