    Workflow Notification Mailer Setup
    Workflow Notification Mailer Setup
    NOTIFICATION MAILER ARCHITECTURE

    The main component of the Oracle Workflow Notification Mailer is the executable
    WFMAIL. This is a server side program that queries the database for any pending
    notifications. It then dispatches these notifications by calling sendmail for UNIX and the MAPI APIs for Microsoft Windows NT. The notification mailer also queries the local inbox for incoming messages. These messages are validated and then passed to the database for response processing. To configure Workflow Notification Mailer we have to do OS level setup (Sendmail) and Application level setup.

    1. OS Level Setup
    2. Application level Configuration

    1. OS (Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 update 7) level Setup
    At Os level we need to do bellow setups before configuring Application level
    Sendmail should be installed by default when you install RedHat Linux. If it is not then you need to install the Sendmail RPM’s with the Red Hat distribution
    Sendmail RPM’s (In Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 update 7)




    Note: By default Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 update 7 have above all RPM’s

    A. Configuring Sendmail

    Edit the /etc/mail/sendmal.mc file
    Look for this bellow line in this file
    DAEMON_OPTIONS (`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dn


    Add 1 line with SMTP port Number and Server IP to this above line

    DAEMON_OPTIONS (`Port=25,Addr=192.168.1.61, Name=MTA')dnl

    Here 25 is SMTP Port Number, 192.168.1.61 is Server IP

    After adding his like file look like this

    DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
    DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=25,Addr=192.168.1.61, Name=MTA')dnl

    Save the file


    Rebuild /etc/sendmail.cf from the revised /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
    $m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf


    Restart the sendmail services
    $ /etc/init.d/sendmail restart
    B.Starting Sendmail
    You can use the chkconfig command to get sendmail configured to start at boot time
    $chkconfig sendmail on
    The services should now be set at the appropriate run levels and then checked to ensure they are correct.

    #chkconfig --level 2345 sendmail on

    To check run level
    #chkconfig --list sendmail
    C. Check the sendmail services
    $telnet
    $telnet 192.168.1.61 25



    Now sendmail is working



    D. Dovecot IMAP Server
    Now that the sendmail server has been setup to allow the sending of emails, we need to configure a means for the user to retrieve any emails that are waiting for them on the server. One of the packages that do this is dovecot, which handles POP and IMAP mailboxes in clear text or with link encryption (POPS and IMAPS); IMAPS is the preferred mail protocol for MUAs.
    Install Dovecot RPM if not installed



    E: Start the Dovecot services
    Start the services from Command

    $ /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
    Or
    Start Dovecot services from Server





    Start the dovecot services then save

    F.Check the Dovecot services
    $telnet 192.168.1.61 143


    G. Check the mails are going to your mail ID from Linux command line
    $ mail –s “Hi this is from WF Server “ yourID@gmail.com
    If u gets this mail to your mail Id It then send mail is working fine
    H. Create DISCARD & PROCESS folders
    Login to the Application User (testappl)
    Under testappl user home it will be one mail folder. Under mail folder you create DISCARD & PROCESS folders




    2. Application level Configuration

    1. We can configure workflow notification mailer from Oracle Application Manager (OAM)


    2. There are two kinds of Notification Outbound & Inbound in Workflow Mailer

    3. For Outbound Notification, CM (Concurrent Manager) node should be able to connect to SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server/relay.

    4. For Inbound Notification (Optional), CM node should be able to connect to IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) Server.


    5. Workflow Notification Mailer in background run as Concurrent Manager (Workflow Mailer Service, Workflow Agent Listener Service)






    Enable Workflow Agent Listener and Notification Mailer concurrent



    programs




    Schedule the Workflow Background process, Notification Mailer concurrent requests

    Workflow Mailer Service, Workflow Agent Listener Service should be started

    Configure Workflow Notification Mailer
    Login to Oracle Application Manager
    Go to Site Map








    1. Click on Next



    2. Click on Next


    3. Here give Application User name, password and Test Mail Id
    Give PROCESS and DISCARD folders (which we have created in application server) name in EMail Processing




    4. Click on Next



    5. Give Submit Date and time then click on Next



    6. Click on Next


    7. Here give user name and click on Send Test Message

    Click on Next







    8. Click on finish



    B. STARTUP NOTIFICATION MAILER

    The mailer program can be started from command line or through a concurrent
    Program called "Notification Mailer". When the notification mailer is started as a concurrent request in Oracle Applications, the OS process is run by the Applications Manager (APPLMGR) user.

    To start it from the application, submit the "Notification Mailer" Concurrent request.

    To start it from command line on UNIX, execute the following command:

    Go to FND_TOP/bin/

    $WFMAIL apps/Pass 0 Y $FND_TOP/resource/wfmail.cfg



    Log file for Workflow Mailer Notification are at $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG/






    Happy Learning

    Data Dictionary Info
    Data Dictionary Info
    Here are some scripts related to Data Dictionary Info .

    Dictionary Cache
    DATA DICTIONARY CACHE NOTES:


    Parameter - Name of the parameter that determines the number of entries in the data dictionary cache.
    Gets - Total number of requests for information on the data object.
    Getmisses - Number of data requests resulting in cache misses.
    % Cache Misses - Miss Ratio
    Count - Total number of entries in the cache
    Usage - Number of cache entries that contain valid data.

    This report shows the DC cache statistics (a part of the shared pool). Whenever the database parses a SQL statement, it scans the text for syntax and semantic correctness. The semantic check requires cross-referencing of the information in the SQL statement and the data dictionary, including the table names, columns-to-date relationships, column names, data types, and security access privileges. To resolve the relationships, Oracle uses the data dictionary cache in the SGA. When the data sought in not in the cache, Oracle executes SQL statements to retrieve the data dictionary information from the SYSTEM tablespace. These statements for data dictionary information represent one type of recursive SQL statement. To increase the size available to the dictionary cache, increase the size of the shared pool area (via the SHARED_POOL_SIZE init.ora parameter.) Missing a get on the data dictionary or shared pool area of the SGA is more costly than missing a get on a data buffer or waiting for a redo buffer. If these parameters look familiar - you are probably recalling them from Oracle v6 (when you tuned these in the init.ora file)

    select PARAMETER,
    GETS,
    GETMISSES,
    round(GETMISSES/GETS,2)*100 "% Cache Misses",
    COUNT,
    USAGE
    from v$rowcache
    where GETS > 0
    order by (GETMISSES/GETS)*100 desc

    Latch Gets/Misses
    LATCH GET AND MISS NOTES:



    Latch Name - Name of the latch
    Gets - Number of times obtained wait
    Misses - Number of time obtained with wait but failed first try
    Gets / Misses % - Ratio of misses to gets
    Immediate Gets - Number of times obtained with no wait
    Immediate Misses - Number of times failed to get with no wait

    select NAME,
    GETS,
    MISSES,
    round(((GETS-MISSES)*100) / GETS , 2) "Gets/Misses %",
    IMMEDIATE_GETS,
    IMMEDIATE_MISSES
    from v$latch
    where GETS != 0
    or IMMEDIATE_MISSES > 0
    order by ((GETS-MISSES) / GETS) desc

    Redo Log Buffer
    Redo Log Buffer
    Here are some scripts related to Redo Log Buffer .

    Contention
    REDO LOG CONTENTION NOTES:



    Redo Latch Name - Name of the latch
    Gets - Number of times gotten wait
    Misses - Number of times gotten wait but failed first try
    Sleeps - Number of times slept when wanted wait
    Immediate Gets - Number of times gotten without wait
    Immediate Misses - Number of times failed to get without wait

    Heavy access to the redo log buffer can result in contention for redo log prompt buffer latches.

    select NAME,
    GETS,
    MISSES,
    SLEEPS,
    IMMEDIATE_GETS,
    IMMEDIATE_MISSES
    from v$latch
    where NAME in ('redo allocation','redo copy')

    Statistics
    REDO BUFFER NOTES:



    Parameter - Name of the parameter
    Value - Current value for the parameter

    select NAME,
    VALUE
    from v$sysstat
    where NAME like 'redo%'
    and VALUE > 0

    Full Table Scans
    Full Table Scans
    Here are some scripts related to Full Table Scans .

    System Statistics (Table)SYSTEM STATISTICS (TABLE) NOTES:


    Statistic Name - Name of the statistic
    Bytes - Size


    This query provides information on the full table scan activity. If your application is OLTP only, having long full table scans can be an indicator of having missing or incorrect indexes or untuned SQL.
    Table fetch by rowid reflect the cumulative number of rows fetched from tables using a TABLE ACCESS BY ROWID operation.
    Table fetch continued row reflect the cumulative number of continued rows fetched. This value is incremented when accessing a row that is longer than a block in length and when accessing "migrated" rows. Migrated rows are rows that were relocated from their original location to a new location because of an update that increased their size to the point where they could no longer be accommodated inside their original block. Access to migrated rows will cause this statistic's value to increment only if the access is performed by ROWID. Full table scans of tables that contain migrated rows do not cause this counter to increment.
    Table scan blocks gotten reflect the cumulative number of blocks read for full table scans.
    Table scans rows gotten reflect the cumulative number of rows read for full table scans.
    Table scans (cache partitions) is used with the Parallel Query Option. The number of RowID ranges corresponds to the number of simultaneous query server processes that scan the table.
    Table scans (long scans) indicate a full scan of a table that has > 5 database blocks.
    Table scans (rowid ranges) is used with the Parallel Query Option. The number of RowID ranges corresponds to the number of simultaneous query server processes that scan the table.
    Table scans (short scans) indicate a full scan of a table that has <= 5 database blocks.

    select NAME,
    VALUE
    from v$sysstat
    where NAME like '%table'

    Process Table Scans
    PROCESS TABLE SCAN NOTES:



    User Process - Name of user process
    Long Scans - Full scan of a table that has > 5 database blocks.
    Short Scans - Full scan of a table that has <= 5 database blocks.
    Row Retrieved - Cumulative number of rows read for full table scans.

    select ss.username||'('||se.sid||') ' "User Process",

    SENDMAIL configuration
    SENDMAIL Configuration tested on RedHat 4 update 5
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Follow the below link:

    http://www.owlriver.com/tips/sendmail-tip/

    1> Apply the patch sendmail-cf-8.13.1-3.2.el4.i386.rpm which is available in 3rd cd
    rpm -Uvh sendmail-cf-8.13.1-3.2.el4.i386.rpm

    2> To be able to hand email TO it (on port 25), you will need packages:
    rpm -q sendmail-cf m4

    3> If not present, use your install media and install them

    4> Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc with your favorite text editor. Toward the bottom of that
    file is this stanza:
    dnl This changes sendmail to only listen on the loopback device 127.0.0.1
    dnl and not on any other network devices. Comment this out if you want
    dnl to accept email over the network.
    DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
    ... Note that the string "dnl " at the left margin is how comments are added to
    sendmail.mc -- this is an artifact of the ancient origins of sendmail and the m4 macro
    processor
    Make it read as the text says "to accept email over the network":
    dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
    (this is the last line quoted in the first stanza, now commented out.)

    4. rebuild /etc/sendmail.cf from the revised /etc/mail/sendmail.mc thus:
    m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
    (This is considered Unix deep magic -- but all it does is have the m4 macro processor use
    the sendmail-cf recipies, and make a new well-formed sendmail.cf. Note that lower in the
    sendmail.mc file is an option to specify what hostname your mail server uses -- useful for
    pretending to be a server with a resolvable name.)
    (Note also that /etc/sendmail.cf moves to become /etc/mail/sendmail.cf with sendmail-
    8.12.x and so that command will become m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc >
    /etc/mail/sendmail.cf in later versions. But there are many other changes, including a
    separate non-privleged child process.)

    5. Tell sendmail to listen all the time (in so-called daemon mode) instead of delivering
    just its own local mail queue just once an hour.
    Edit /etc/sysconfig/sendmail
    and change:
    DAEMON=no
    to:
    DAEMON=yes

    6. And restart sendmail
    cd /etc/mail
    make
    service sendmail restart
    (Note: The make step is needed in some variants of Red Hat, as the automatic execution
    of the make is missing in some releases of the initscript package.)

    7. Confirm it locally:
    netstat -an | grep 25 | grep tcp
    yields:
    tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
    (which says the host is listening on ALL interfaces for connections ...)
    [I undid step 5 and 6 -- and reran this test -- it yields -- nothing -- that it is NOT able to be
    connected to externally on port 25 -- and so THAT port is safe from a remote direct
    attack.]

    8. Test locally (I list YOUR part OUT of []):
    telnet localhost 25
    [... banner]
    HELO LOCALHOST
    [... response]
    QUIT
    It went:
    [root@couch herrold]# telnet localhost 25
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.

    QUIT
    221 2.0.0 couch.basement.net closing connection
    Connection closed by foreign host.
    $

    9. The acid test -- From another host test it (we'll restate the conversation, and hide the
    remote end's responses initially for clarity):
    telnet couch.basement.net 25
    HELO localhost

    Read the received lines from the bottom up --
    We forged the sender as "godzilla@microsoft.com" -- spammers do this all the time,
    nothing new there; and offered to root@localhost -- The forward rule handed it for
    delivery to herrold@owlriver.com. Seems to work fine
    As this demonstrated, this is probably not enough to suffice in production. Do NOT
    connect this to the outside world -- a bit more needs to be done --- As set, it will receive
    mail only with a final (as to the originator's perspective) destination at the localhost --
    /etc/mail/access and /etc/mail/local-host-names need attention to receive mail for
    handling for others. But again, this is beyond the scope of this presentation.

    10> To send a mail
    sendmail –v sriasan@gmail.com – use gmail, I had spam issues with yahoo.com
    this is to test sendmail
    ctrl –d or .
    check gmail for the mail

    Rollback Segments
    Rollback Segments
    Here are some scripts related to Rollback Segments .

    Segments
    ROLLBACK INFORMATION NOTES:


    Segment Name - Name of the rollback segment.
    Owner - Owner of the rollback segment.
    Tablespace - Name of the tablespace containing the rollback segment.
    Segment ID - ID number of the rollback segment.
    File ID - ID number of the block containing the segment header.
    Block ID - Starting block number of the extent.
    Initial Extent - Initial extent size in bytes.
    Next Extent - Secondary extent size in bytes.
    Min Extents - Minimum number of extents.
    Max Extents - Maximum number of extents.
    PCT Increase - Percent increase for extent size.
    Status - ONLINE if the segment is online, or PENDING OFFLINE if the segment is going offline but some active (distributed) transactions are using the rollback segment. When the transaction(s) complete, the segment goes OFFLINE.
    Instance - Instance this rollback segment belongs to (Parallel Server), or NULL for a single-instance system .

    select SEGMENT_NAME,
    OWNER,
    TABLESPACE_NAME,
    SEGMENT_ID,
    FILE_ID,
    BLOCK_ID,
    INITIAL_EXTENT,
    NEXT_EXTENT,
    MIN_EXTENTS,
    MAX_EXTENTS,
    PCT_INCREASE,
    STATUS,
    INSTANCE_NUM
    from dba_rollback_segs
    order by SEGMENT_NAME

    Transactions
    ROLLBACK STATISTIC (TRANSACTION TABLES) NOTES:


    Statistic Name - Name of the statistic
    Value - Current value

    The name of the consistent changes statistic is misleading. It does not indicate the number of updates (or changes), but rather, the number of times a consistent get had to retrieve and "old" version of a block because of updates that occurred after the cursor had been opened. As of Oracle7.3, a more accurate statistic was added. Named data blocks consistent reads - undo records applied; the new statistic gives the actual number of data records applied.
    The consistent gets statistic reflects the number of accesses made to the block buffer to retrieve data in a consistent mode. Most accesses to the buffer are done with the consistent get mechanism, which uses the SCN (System Change Number) to make sure the data being read has not changed sine the query was started.
    The data blocks consistent reads - undo records applied statistic reflects the number of updates (or changes) applied.

    select NAME,
    VALUE
    from v$sysstat
    where name in (
    'consistent gets',
    'consistent changes',
    'transaction tables consistent reads - undo records applied',
    'transaction tables consistent read rollbacks',
    'data blocks consistent reads - undo records applied',
    'no work - consistent read gets',
    'cleanouts only - consistent read gets',
    'rollbacks only - consistent read gets',
    'cleanouts and rollbacks - consistent read gets')
    order by NAME

    Contention
    ROLLBACK CONTENTION NOTES:


    Segment Name - Name of the rollback segment.
    Seg# - Rollback segment number.
    Gets - Number of header gets.
    Waits - Number of header waits.
    Hit Ratio - Ratio of gets to waits. This should be >= 99%.
    Active Transactions - Number of active transactions.
    Writes - Number of bytes written to rollback segment.

    Hit Ratio should be >= 99% - if not, consider adding additional rollback segments.
    Check the system undo header, system undo block, undo header, undo block statistics under "Wait Statistics" for additional information on rollback contention.

    select b.NAME,
    a.USN seg#,
    GETS,
    WAITS,
    round(((GETS-WAITS)*100)/GETS,2) hit_ratio,
    XACTS active_transactions,
    WRITES
    from v$rollstat a,
    v$rollname b
    where a.USN = b.USN

    Growth
    ROLLBACK EXTENDING AND SHRINKAGE NOTES:


    Rollback Segment - Name of rollback segment.
    Seg# - Rollback segment number.
    Size - Size in bytes of the rollback segment.
    OptSize - Optimal size of rollback segment.
    HWM - High Water Mark of rollback segment size.
    Extends - Number of times rollback segment was extended to have a new extent.
    Wraps - Number of times rollback segment wraps from one extent to another.
    Shrinks - Number of times rollback segment shrank, eliminating one or more additional extents each time.
    Average Shrink - Total size of freed extents divided by number of shrinks.
    Average Active - Current average size of active extents, where "active" extents have uncommitted transaction data.
    Status - ONLINE if the segment is online, or PENDING OFFLINE if the segment is going offline but some active (distributed) transactions are using the rollback segment. When the transaction(s) complete, the segment goes OFFLINE.

    select NAME,
    a.USN,
    RSSIZE,
    OPTSIZE,
    HWMSIZE,
    EXTENDS,
    WRAPS,
    SHRINKS,
    AVESHRINK,
    AVEACTIVE,
    STATUS
    from v$rollstat a ,
    v$rollname b
    where a.USN=b.USN
    order by NAME
