sql mirror witness disconnected

The witness sqlserver sometime get disconnected, reboot it sometime fix the problem, if not, reset witness is required, here is how.

to find out how many databases are using this witness, run query on witness:

SELECT principal_server_name, mirror_server_name, database_name, safety_level_desc
FROM sys.database_mirroring_witnesses

to find out which server is disconnected, run this sql on the principle server:

select mirroring_partner_name,mirroring_partner_name,mirroring_witness_name, mirroring_state_desc,mirroring_witness_state_desc, * from sys.database_mirroring

if the mirroring_witness_state_desc = disconnected, then remove the witness by running the following script. let's refer this list as $DBLIST.

on witness:

select 'alter database '+database_name+' set witness off' FROM sys.database_mirroring_witnesses

pickup the output that matching $DBLIST and save the output as o1.sql.

select 'alter database '+database_name+' set witness ='+'''TCP://REPLACETHISSERVERNAME:REPLACETHISPORTNUMBER''' FROM sys.database_mirroring_witnesses

pickup the output that matching $DBLIST and save the output as o2.sql.

restart witness sqlserver service, and reset the witness by running o1.sql and o2.sql on principle. if the o2.sql fail, we need to re-run it or even restart the witness db service.

then check the status again by running the following sql on principle server, now the mirroring_witness_state_desc should show "connected".

select mirroring_partner_name,mirroring_partner_name,mirroring_witness_name, mirroring_state_desc,mirroring_witness_state_desc, * from sys.database_mirroring

Opatch apply/lsinventory error: oneoff is corrupted or does not exist

I am applying the quarterly patch for 19c RDBMS, I tried using napply but failed, but somehow it corrupted the inventory though nothing applied. further apply and lsinventory command ran into error like this: $ ./OPatch/opatch lsinventory Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 12.2.0.1.21 Copyright (c) 2020, Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.

non-existent process lock port on windows server

I have a database link created between oracle and sqlserver using oracle tg4odbc, the product is installed on windows server and run as service "OracleOraGtw11g_home1TNSListener", but sometime the service cannot started, the root cause of this problem is that the port number 1521 is used by an non-existent process. The first step is to use netstat -bano|find "1521" to get the process id, in my case it's 5844, which shows the connection is from my oracle server 10.8.0.169 H:\>netstat -bano|find "1521"   TCP    0.0.0.0:1521           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       5844   TCP    10.14.45.33:1521       10.8.0.169:42987       ESTABLISHED     5844 however the process id does not show in either task manager or process explorer. The next step is to run tcpview, which shows non-existent under process column, there are three rows, two show status as "listening", the other one shows status "established", right click and k
