Logminer fails with ORA-01284, ORA-00308, ORA-27047

Problem Description:
Whenever you try to run the logminer in the mining database (different from source database. Source database is one in which redo or archived redo logs are generated and mining database is one in which you try to analysis those logs) to add logfile using DBMS_LOGMNR.ADD_LOGFILE it generates error ORA-01284, ORA-00308, ORA-27047.

SQL> EXECUTE DBMS_LOGMNR.ADD_LOGFILE( -
LOGFILENAME => '/export/home/oracle/o1_mf_1_61856_48637xkh_.arc', -
OPTIONS => DBMS_LOGMNR.NEW);
BEGIN DBMS_LOGMNR.ADD_LOGFILE( LOGFILENAME => '/export/home/oracle/o1_mf_1_61856_48637xkh_.arc', OPTIONS => DBMS_LOGMNR.NEW); END;

*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01284: file /export/home/oracle/o1_mf_1_61856_48637xkh_.arc cannot be
opened
ORA-00308: cannot open archived log
'/export/home/oracle/o1_mf_1_61856_48637xkh_.arc'
ORA-27047: unable to read the header block of file
Additional information: 2
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOGMNR", line 68
ORA-06512: at line 1

But if you see in your mining database hard disk the archived redo log file actually exist.
SQL> !ls -l /export/home/oracle/o1_mf_1_61856_48637xkh_.arc
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 24671232 Jul 21 00:38 /export/home/oracle/o1_mf_1_61856_48637xkh_.arc

Cause of The Problem:
To be able to run oracle logminer there are several requirements. If the requirements are not satisfy logminer will not run successfully. One of the requirement to run logminer is both the source database and the mining database must be running on the same hardware platform.

The database block sizes of the analyzing instance and the log source database must also be the same.

If they are different then logminer will not work and working with it will produce error ORA-01284, ORA-00308, ORA-27047.

Solution of The problem:
Use the mining database as the same hardware platform as of source database. If you don't have same platform then it is not possible. In that case you can use source database for mining.

ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

Problem Symptom While performing a simple select statement it fails with error ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected like below. SQL> select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual; select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected Cause of the problem The ORA-00923 can be caused by two different reasons. 1)Oracle itself expect FROM keyword in the position but it could not find any. Like below, SQL> select 48*1024 om dual; select 48*1024 om dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected As no from keyword found so error arises. Oracle expected from in place of keyword dual. 2)The secong cause can sometimes mislead you. Like in case of SQL> select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual; select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where exp

How to make partitioning in Oracle more Quickly

As the table size grows and full table scans happens more frequently then there is no alternative than partitioning in oracle. Partition greatly enhance performance of a query. I will start my partitioning system simply with an example. In my database the following query took 30~35 seconds to complete. After partitioning the performance increased amazingly and it then took only 1 second. My query was, SELECT DISTINCT fs.type, fs.id , fs.pid, fs.cid , fs.cr_id, fs.created_date FROM summary fs where fs.id in (select fa.id from forms fa where fa.sar in (select la.sar from login la where la.login_id=1 and fa.created_date BETWEEN to_date('1-MAY-2008') AND to_date('21-SEP-2008') and fs.created_date BETWEEN to_date('1-MAY-2008') AND to_date('21-SEP-2008') ) )and mode=0; After seeing above query I decide to make range partition on column created_date both in summary table and forms table. Below is the list of procedur

Copy files between Unix and Windows with rcp

There are many third party tools by which you can copy files between windows and unix machine. Some common tools are winscp, SSHSecureShellClient etc. Instead of using any third party tool, you can use original unix and windows built-in tool to do the task. The RCP (Remote CoPy) is a standard UNIX tool and a Microsoft Windows 2000 tool that copies files/folder to and from computer running the RCP service. Before you can use the RCP tool from a Windows-based computer you must do something in your UNIX computer. you must turn on the RCP service and update the security files to allow the Windows-based computer to connect to your unix machine over this service. The following steps will help you. Step 01: Turn on RCP service on UNIX Host Turn on the RCP service on unix machine by using inetd: 1. Log on as root. 2. Edit the file /etc/Inetd.conf. 3. Uncomment the lines that start with shell and that start with exec. 4. Save the file. 5. Use ps -ef |grep inetd and determine inetd service p
