How to export oracle RAC database using expdp


<<Back to Oracle DATAPUMP Main Page

Running expdp on Multiple RAC Instances in Parallel

There are few points which must be considered while running an export job on oracle RAC database.
  • Whether you wish to start the export job on all or selected list of Instances or on the Instances where from you are invoking expdp.
  • If you are using CLUSTER=YES (by default) you are starting export worker process on other Oracle RAC instances too.
  • If you are  using CLUSTER=YES (by default) then the shared directory path must be available on all the Instances.
  • Use of the CLUSTER=YES parameter may affect performance because there is some additional overhead in distributing the export job across Oracle RAC instances. For small jobs, it may be better to specify CLUSTER=NO.
Example:
parfile content
directory=ASM_DUMP
dumpfile=EXP_TEST_%U.dmp
FILESIZE=10G
logfile=EXT:EXP_TEST.log
schemas=TEST01
CLUSTER=NO

 TNS Used by expdp
Note: It resolves cluster and therefore can connect to any instance of the cluster
TEST_EXP =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac01-scan.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = test.oracle.com)
    )
  )

 $ tnsping TEST_EXP
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac01-scan.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = test.oracle.com)))
OK (10 msec)

$ expdp system@TEST_EXP parfile=TEST_EXP.par

How to Power On/off Oracle Exadata Machine

<<Back to Exadata Main Page How to Power On/off Oracle Exadata Machine Oracle Exadata machines can be powered on/off either by pressing the power button on front of the server or by logging in to the ILOM interface. Powering on servers using  button on front of the server The power on sequence is as follows. 1. Start Rack, including switches  Note:- Ensure the switches have had power applied for a few minutes to complete power on  configuration before starting Exadata Storage Servers 2.Start Exadata Storage Servers  Note:- Ensure all Exadata Storage Servers complete the boot process before starting the   database servers 3. Start Database Servers Powering On Servers Remotely using ILOM The ILOM can be accessed using the Web console, the command-line interface (CLI), IPMI, or SNMP.

ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location

<<Back to DB Administration Main Page ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location CDB011> ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT CREATE KEYSTORE '+DATAC4/CDB01/wallet/' IDENTIFIED BY "xxxxxxx"; ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT CREATE KEYSTORE '+DATAC4/CDB01/wallet/' IDENTIFIED BY "EncTest123" * ERROR at line 1: ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location Cause  Creating a keystore at a location where there is already a keystore exists Solution To solve the problem, use a different location to create a keystore (use ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION in sqlnet.ora file to specify the keystore location), or move this ewallet.p12 file to some other location. Note: Oracle does not recommend deleting keystore file (ewallet.p12) that belongs to a database. If you have multiple keystores, you can choose to merge them rather than deleting either of them.

How to Switch Log File from All Instances in RAC

<<Back to Oracle RAC Main Page Switch The Log File of All Instances in Oracle RAC. In many cases you need to switch the logfile of the database. You can switch logfile using alter system switch logfile command but if you want to switch the logfile from all the instances you need to execute the command on all the instances individually and therefore you must login on all the instances. You can avoid this and switch logfile of all instances by just running the below command from any of the instance in RAC database SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH ALL LOGFILE;   System altered.
