How to Install SQL Developer on Linux Mint

Himanshu
In this post I am going to share the steps for installation of SQL Developer on Linux Mint OS or Ubuntu.

 SQL developer will require to jdk as pre-requisites.

 Steps:

 1. Install jdk 8 or above. 

 sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

 It will be installed in below folder

 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64

 2. SQL Developer which we wil download from Oracle Website would in rpm format. I am going to use alien tool to covert it in debian(deb) format.

 sudo apt-get install -y alien

 3. Convert the SQL developer rpm to debain format.

 himanshu@himanshu-ThinkPad-T430 ~/Downloads $ ls -ltr sqldeveloper-19.2.1.247.2212.noarch.rpm
-rw-rw-r-- 1 himanshu himanshu 420128668 Sep 18 23:46 sqldeveloper-19.2.1.247.2212.noarch.rpm
himanshu@himanshu-ThinkPad-T430 ~/Downloads $ sudo alien sqldeveloper-19.2.1.247.2212.noarch.rpm

 Once done we can see below deb file.

 himanshu@himanshu-ThinkPad-T430 ~/Downloads $ ls -ltr sqldeveloper_19.2.1-248.2212_all.deb

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 416469574 Sep 19 00:02 sqldeveloper_19.2.1-248.2212_all.deb


4. Install SQL Developer package now.

You can user GUI to install the package 



or 

Run below command on terminal

himanshu@himanshu-ThinkPad-T430 ~/Downloads $ sudo dpkg -i sqldeveloper_19.2.1-248.2212_all.deb
Selecting previously unselected package sqldeveloper.
(Reading database ... 256436 files and directories currently installed.)

5. Open SQL Developer, First time it will ask for jdk path, please provide same path as done in step 1


himanshu@himanshu-ThinkPad-T430 /usr/local/bin $ ls -ltr sqldeveloper
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Sep  5 03:58 sqldeveloper


himanshu@himanshu-ThinkPad-T430 /usr/local/bin $ ./sqldeveloper

How to change IP address of an Oracle EBS Environment

Himanshu

We can follow below steps to change IP address in Oracle Application/EBS environment

 Steps:

 1. Change the IP Address in the Server.

2. Verify the current ip address setup in the Oracle Applications environment. Connect as apps user into SQL*Plus and run:

select NODE_NAME, STATUS, NODE_MODE, NODE_ID,SERVER_ADDRESS, HOST, DOMAIN, WEBHOST, VIRTUAL_IP from fnd_nodes where node_name = upper('&hostname');

3. Run the following command to remove the old ip address from the Oracle Applications tables:

perl $AD_TOP/bin/adgentns.pl appspass=apps contextfile=$APPL_TOP/admin/$CONTEXT_NAME.xml -removeserver 

 replace $CONTEXT_NAME for the context file name under the $APPL_TOP/admin directory;

then connect to SQL*Plus as apps user and run:

begin
FND_NET_SERVICES.remove_server('&SID', '&HOSTNAME');
end;
/
commit;
/

replace by the SID of the environment and by the hostname in the environment. Both must be entered in upper case.

4. Run autoconfig to populate the values using the new IP Address.

5. Confirm the ip address has been changed to the new value changed in the step 1:

select NODE_NAME, STATUS, NODE_MODE, NODE_ID,SERVER_ADDRESS, HOST, DOMAIN, WEBHOST, VIRTUAL_IP from fnd_nodes where node_name = upper('&hostname');

How to check Clock synchronization between cluster nodes in RAC

Himanshu
We can use below to check the clock/time synchronization between nodes in RAC cluster. The crs alert log will also point out thee synchronization issue between the nodes.
Script:

 cd $GRID_HOME/bin 
./cluvfy comp clocksync -n all

 Output:

 Verifying Clock Synchronization across the cluster nodes
Oracle Clusterware is installed on all nodes.
CTSS resource check passed
Query of CTSS for time offset passed

 CTSS is in Observer state. Switching over to clock synchronization checks using NTP
Starting Clock synchronization checks using Network Time Protocol(NTP)...
NTP configuration file "/etc/ntp.conf" existence check passed
Liveness check passed for "ntpd"
Check for NTP daemon or service alive passed on all nodes
Check of common NTP Time Server passed
Clock time offset check passed

 Clock synchronization check using Network Time Protocol(NTP) passed
Oracle Cluster Time Synchronization Services check passed

 Verification of Clock Synchronization across the cluster nodes was successful.

Check whether ctss or ntp is running

 crsctl check ctss 

 CRS-4700: The Cluster Time Synchronization Service is in Observer mode.
Observer means – Time sync between nodes are taken care by NTP

Active means – Time sync between nodes are taken care by CTSS

We can use below query to check the status for interface managers.

ORA-04023: Object could not be validated or authorized

Himanshu
While running any queries, or after creating any view,procedures we may start getting ORA-04023 errors.

 Error:
ORA-04023: Object could not be validated or authorized

 We may also see ORA-00001 errors in  alert log file parallely.

 If we have RAC database and then we may see ORA-04023 error only on one of the nodes which would be specific to instance or node

 Cause:
This would be due to shared pool corruption.

 Solution:

 SQL> alter system flush shared_pool;

 or bounce the database or specific instance.

 If this does not solve the issue, we need to contact Oracle Support for further details.
