Oracle7 Server for Windows Platforms Release Note

Oracle Enterprise Manager Release Notes

Release 1.3.5
March 1997
A48485-1

These Release Notes describe differences between the delivered Oracle Enterprise Manager 1.3.5 product and its documented functionality. Information is also included on the Oracle Enterprise Manager documentation, training, and late-breaking information concerning this production release. The following topics are included:

New Features

Oracle Enterprise Manager 1.3.5 automatically creates a new repository or upgrades an existing repository when you log into the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console. See the section "Console and Repository Compatibility".
The Oracle 7.3.3 Intelligent Agent automatically generates its configuration files when it is started. See the Oracle Enterprise Manager Installation Guide.
The Navigator Discovery feature is now available with Oracle Enterprise Manager 1.3.5 and the 7.3.3 release of the Intelligent Agent. This feature provides automatic discovery of network services if the 7.3.3 Intelligent Agent is installed and running on a node. See the Oracle Enterprise Manager Navigator online help.
Oracle Data Manager 1.3.5 provides Wizards to guide you through the process of exporting, importing, and loading data to and from an Oracle database. See the Data Manager online help.

Tips and Techniques

Improved Concurrency by Increasing Virtual Memory
On Windows NT, you can significantly improve the ability to have the console and a number of launched applications running concurrently.
In the Control Panel, select the 'System' program item and click on the Virtual Memory option. Then, select the Change button and specify on which disk you wish to place the paging file. In general, the larger you can make this file, the better.
Viewing charts in Oracle Performance Manager
If a chart shows up empty when running the Oracle Performance Manager application, it is probably because the window is too small, or because there are too many charts in a window. Try resizing the window, or removing charts from the window.
No data available for Oracle Performance Manager chart
If a "No data available" message box appears when trying to display a window, it is probably because one or more charts in the window had queries which did not return any data. To see if this is the problem, try executing the respective query or queries in the Define Chart dialog.

Install Product Tables

Granting table permissions to a user and revoking table permissions from a user is not supported for this release.

Console and Repository Compatibility

The versions of Oracle Enterprise Manager and its repository must be compatible. For example, you cannot use a version 1.2 repository with a version 1.3 Oracle Enterprise Manager Console.
If the existing repository version is older than the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console version, the existing repository is upgraded automatically the first time you log into the repository. A dialog box is displayed that informs you of the upgrade. If you are upgrading your repository, it is advisable that you backup your existing repository prior to your first login to the Oracle Enterprise Manager 1.3.5 console.
If the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console version is older than the Oracle Enterprise Manager repository version, you need to install a more recent, compatible version of Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Warning About Cancelling During Repository Creation

If you attempt to cancel during the creation of a new repository, you receive a warning that cancelling during repository creation makes the repository unusable. If you choose to ignore this warning and cancel the repository creation, you will have a partially created repository. Oracle Enterprise Manager may incorrectly conclude that the partial repository is a valid Oracle Enterprise Manager 1.1 repository and attempt to upgrade it. Before re-running Oracle Enterprise Manager from that user account, you should drop the partially created repository. To drop the partially created repository, enter the following command from the command prompt:

VOBSH -c "username/password" - o DROP -P ALL

Operating System Compatibility

There are no known restrictions. All components of Oracle Enterprise Manager release 1.3.5 are certified to run under Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0.

Oracle Software Manager Compatibility

OSM compatibility is determined by Oracle Intelligent Agent compatibility.

Console-Related Known Problems/Caveats

All of the problems in this list will be addressed in upcoming patch releases.

Drag & Drop of objects from any of the applications into the Console is not supported.
The use of the same Repository schema for multiple Console users is not supported.
Console usernames must be unique across all Repositories.
In order to create a schema object of a particular type within the Navigator, at least one object of that type must exist. (bug 415138)
When entering multiple parameters for the Execute Tcl job task, multiple parameters, such as "one two three", entered in the Parameters field of the Job Task page are treated as only one parameter. To ensure that the parameters entered in the field are treated as separate arguments and to ensure that the Tcl script still functions in future releases, include the following at the beginning of the Tcl script:
```
set argc [llength $argv] 
```
```
if { $argc == 1} { 
```
```
set argv [lindex $argv 0]} 
```
If you receive the error message "Some events do not have their values specified" when you click the OK button from the "Create Event Set" Property Sheet, you should cancel out of the Property Sheet, recreate the Event Set and click the Apply button before the OK button.
Preferred credentials for Oracle Parallel Servers that do not have a default instance are not supported.
Events that contain message text more than 1024 characters are truncated in the Event Management System.
If you are having problems restoring the window sizes on restarting the console, or if you want to restore the default settings of window sizes for the EM Console, run the following SQL against your repository, using the SQL WorkSheet or Server Manager line mode:
```
delete smp_blob where id = 'ui'; 
```
```
commit;
```
The DiskFull Event and the ResponseTime Event may not return the correct results when registered against a Windows NT Agent. The DiskFull Event also may not return the correct results against a UNIX Agent. (bug 462447)
Any user that connects with the sysdba role appears to be the user "sys" in database quick edits.
Oracle Enterprise Manager paging services only support alphanumeric pagers.
Before disconnecting from a database or shutting it down, make sure to close all currently open Quick Edit dialogs on that database. (Bug 465419)

Database and Other Applications Problems/Caveats

This section includes the following topics:

Backup Problems/Caveats

If you attempt to do a Backup of multiple tablespaces in ONLINE mode (hot backup), the TCL script fails if it encounters a tablespace that is OFFLINE.
The Right Mouse menu is not enabled in the Oracle Backup Manager.
Container Filtering is not implemented within the Oracle Backup Manager.
Before using the Backup Manager with Oracle 7.3.2 running on UNIX (including, but not limited to, Sun Solaris, HP/UX, IBM/AIX, DEC OSF/1), you need to copy the file:
```
%ORACLE_HOME%\sysman\scripts\tcl\bkpts_ux.tcl 
```
from the Console machine to:
```
$(ORACLE_HOME)/network/agent/jobs/oracle/rdbms/backup/backupts.tcl 
```
on the nodes where the databases that you want to backup are located.
Before using the Backup Manager with Oracle 7.3.2 running on Windows NT, you need to copy the file:
```
%ORACLE_HOME%\sysman\scripts\tcl\bkpts_nt.tcl 
```
from the Console machine to:
```
%ORACLE_HOME%\network\agent\jobs\oracle\rdbms\backup\backupts.tcl 
```
on the nodes where the databases that you want to backup are located.
Backup to tape is not supported for databases running on Windows NT.
Before using Backup Manager with Oracle7.x, either on UNIX or NT, you need to run the BACKUPTS.SQL script as user=dbsnmp password=dbsnmp
Note that the default password is dbsnmp. If you have changed it, please use the password you have set for user dbsnmp. The BACKUPTS.SQL script is available on the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console machine under the directory %ORACLE_HOME%\SYSMAN\ADMIN.

Data Manager Problems

If the Database has one character set and the Console has another character set, the output from the export/import/load utilities is not converted to the Console character set.

Oracle Software Manager Problems/Caveats

Client configuration via OSM was removed in this version. Users can configure Clients via OCSM stand alone using the Oracle Installer. OSM 1.3.5 will not be able to manage clients discovered using previous versions of OSM (1.2.x). These clients will still be displayed in the OSM console. (bug #468083)
The Third Party Import functionality was removed in this release.
Software Management functionality is only available on NT host machines. Attempting to do software management functions on other platforms results in an error message.
In some cases, when you register a release, you see a product named Installer Version. This is not a valid product, and should not be used in the creation of any software packages.
Packages and Releases names cannot be longer than 10 characters.
If a node is deleted from the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console you need to run a Refresh Host job in order to propagate the changes to OSM. Newly added hosts are recognized by the OSM console immediately.
Install a Package for the 16 bit packages requires NT Service Pack 2 to be installed on the target node.
Cancelling/Deleting package creation may still leave a job running on the remote host. (bug # 446395)
Staging areas from which releases are created must be on the remote node's local volume or CD-ROM drive. (bug # 443921, 444487)
Products from a release created with an older version of OSM may not be accessible for package creation. The workaround is to delete the old release and create a new one with OSM 1.3.5 then create the desired package.

Oracle Expert Considerations/Caveats

This section describes known problems, restrictions, and precautions for Oracle Expert. It contains the following topics:

Known Problems

If you specify the Overwrite Existing option when collecting Environment class data, all components of the environment (all logical device data and all system data) are deleted and replaced by the environment data being collected. If you want to overwrite data for one or more particular objects, delete those objects from the View/Edit page, then perform a collection with the Overwrite Existing option disabled.
This version of Oracle Expert supports the entry of logical device data (LDD). However, this data is not utilized by the rules. Future releases of Oracle Expert will utilize this data.
The Overwrite Existing option for SQL cache workload collection does not replace all workload applications. This option only replaces the first workload application. The other workload applications can be manually deleted.
If you edit instance parameters within the View/Edit page, the edits to the parameters are not saved. Oracle Expert does not display an error message.
Any workload request containing SQL that utilizes a dblink to attach to a database is not validated against the database referenced by the dblink.
The Cancel process does not work when importing workload from an .XDL file.
Source lines greater than 1024 bytes in import files may cause a syntax error.
Workload requests (SQL Statements) containing column aliases may not be able to be parsed and are marked invalid.
Oracle Expert expects the following tables to exist in the target database being tuned in order to perform collection. If any of these tables do not exist during collection, errors may result:
DBA_TAB_COLUMNS DBA_CONSTRAINTS DBA_USERS
DBA_DATA_FILES DBA_OBJECTS DBA_INDEXES
DBA_SEGMENTS DBA_IND_COLUMNS DBA_TABLES
DBA_ROLLBACK_SEGS DBA_SEQUENCES DBA_VIEWS
DBA_TABLESPACES DBA_SYNONYMS DBA_TS_QUOTAS
DBA_CLUSTERS
The term UDR (User Defined Rules) refers to the Oracle Expert rules.
Double-clicking on schemas several times in succession on the Schema Collect Options page can cause an ACCVIO error.
The "Invalid column datatypes for the index segment" rule accepts any string and does not validate the values entered. The value entered should contain a comma-separated list of column datatypes.
During Environment collection, an instance in the tuning session that has its system attribute referencing a system not included in the source file is reset to "Missing". However, instances that are identified through a dblink do not have their system reset. You should select "Missing" for these instances or add the system name associated with the instance.
If an instance collection is done from an .XDL file and an instance already exists in the tuning session with the same name as the instance contained in the file, Oracle Expert overwrites the existing file.
If structure tuning is performed on a database with a very large number of users (greater than 1000), the resulting Analysis report is very large and not be possible to load into conventional editors, such as Notepad.
If a SQL statement is greater than 8 KB, an error occurs when attempting to edit the Request that contains the statement. The error reads "Error while attempting to load attribute for display". The Request property sheet is still displayed but the SQL text is not visible.
The help system should normally default to the US help file when a language specific help file has not been found. In release 1.3.5, Oracle Expert displays a message to the screen telling the user that the language specific help file was not found and asks if they would like to use the US version.

Precautions

Before you collect the Instance class in order to perform instance System Global Area (SGA) tuning, it is recommended that you execute the XPVIEW.SQL file against the database being tuned. This allows Oracle Expert to collect additional information about the database's shared SQL segment sizes that otherwise could not be collected. This additional data can improve the recommendations made. You only need to execute XPVIEW.SQL once against each database for which instance SGA tuning is performed.
It is currently possible to run more than one Oracle Expert session against the same repository. Oracle Expert does not have integral support for avoiding data conflicts between sessions. Do not run more than one session against the repository at any one time. However, if this is required, each PC session should access a different tuning session.

Oracle Trace Considerations/Caveats

This section describes new information, known problems, restrictions, and precautions for Oracle Trace. It contains the following topics:

-p# to set the maximum number of process records

-c# to set the maximum number of collection records

-r# to set the maximum number of registration records

where # = the number of records

example: otrccref -p200 -c10 -r400

Developers using Oracle Trace API calls in NT applications must link with the following libraries on NT: otrace73.lib, core35.lib and nlsrtl32.lib. On NT, these replace the link libraries referenced in the chapter "'Compiling Your Instrumented Application" of the Oracle Trace User's Guide.

Other Oracle Performance Pack Caveats

For the TopSessions application, if the automatic refresh interval is shorter than the time it takes to do a refresh, TopSessions will be in a continuous loop. To break the loop, click on the "Refresh Mode" button on the toolbar to toggle back to the manual refresh mode.
TopSessions is not certified to run against 7.0.x and 7.1.x versions of the Oracle database. Do not run the TopSessions SMPTSI70 and SMPTSI71 SQL scripts in the ORACLE_HOME\SYSMAN\ADMIN\RDBMS70 and RDBMS71 directories.
The Apply button in the New/Modify Chart dialog in the Performance Manager is always greyed out.
When using the Oracle Performance Manager 'Record' function, after selecting 'Stop Recording', and entering 'Format/Playback Login' data, the recorded chart data will be formatted to tables in the Oracle database service entered by the user. During this formatting process, the user will not see the 'Oracle Trace Formatter Status' window that is described in the OEM Performance Monitoring Users Guide. Instead, a DOS Window may briefly appear. Because you do not see the Trace status window, if the format fails for some reason, you will not get any visual indication of the failure until you attempt to playback the collection and see that your collection is not present in the list. If this happens, you should look at the EPC_ERROR.LOG file on your system to determine why the format failed, fix the problem, and then format the collection using the command line interface. You can format the collection by hand by going out to a DOS window and running the Trace command-line formatter. The command would be:
```
otrcftm <your_collection_name.cdf> <username> <password> <service>
```
The username, password, and service are the same as what you supplied in the Performance Manager when you stopped the collection.
