rollback in-doube distributed transaction

user run a select statement on a local table but get "ora-01591:lock held by in-doubt distribted transaction 3.1.116925" error, somehow a developer update a record through database link to sybase but forgot to commit on oracle side. here is how to troubleshoot and resolve it.

1. find out the pending transactions.
in oracle 10g:
sqlplus > select * from dba_2pc_pending;
sqlplus > select * from DBA_2PC_NEIGHBORS;
record local_tran_id
(in oracle 9i
sqlplus > select * from sys.pending_trans$;
the query result shows the local_tran_id (3.1.116925), os_user (a developer name shows here) and a os_terminal (the developers pc name), fail time (recent) and state (prepared).
)
2. rollback the pending transaction, query the state again, the state is changed from prepared to "forced rollback"
sqlplus > rollback force '3.1.116925';

3. clear the records.
execute DBMS_TRANSACTION.PURGE_LOST_DB_ENTRY('3.1.116925')
commit;

now query the sys.pending_trans$ and DBA_2PC_NEIGHBORS, no record exists anymore!

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.

oracle dba_hist_sysmetric_summary

found this blog is helpful to get CPU and IO statistics on oracle database. http://shob-dbadmin.blogspot.ca/2012/12/how-to-find-total-io-of-database.html courtesy to Shomil Bansal , below are hist writing, not mine. How to find total IO of the database instance Total IO of database instance is sum of the physical reads, physical writes and redo writes. There are several views to find these values. v$sysmetric - Reports metric values for only the most current time sample 60 secs. v$sysmetric_summary - Reports metric values for time sample of 1 hour. v$sysmetric_history - Reports metric values every 60 sec from the time instance is up. Better way to analyse IO using this view to take deltas between two time periods. dba_hist_sysmetric_history - All the above views are refreshed when the instance is restarted. This view, part of AWR, stores the historical stats. I have used this view for my report. Query: ====== set lines 350...

Oracle ASM DISK IO performance

Oracle OEM show a chart of disk performance, as shown in the chart below. when the OEM target database is 10gr2, the number of average disk response time (ms) is 0.01 ms, which unreasonable low. when the target database is 11gr2, the number is about 10ms, which I think is reasonable. it's time to find out where the discrepency comes from. The backend query is this one: set linesize 200 col name format a9 col path format a19 --col MB_per_sec format select t3.name,t2.name,t2.path,t2.reads,t2.read_time,round(t2.read_time/t2.reads*1000,3) rd_rspd_ms,t2.writes,round(t2.write_time/t2.writes*1000,3) wr_rspd_ms, round((t2.read_time+t2.write_time)/(t2.reads+t2.writes)*1000,3) dsk_rspd_ms,round((t2.bytes_read+t2.bytes_written)/1024/1024/(t2.read_time+t2.write_time)) MB_per_sec from V$asm_disk t2, v$asm_diskgroup t3 where t3.group_number=t2.group_number order by 1,2 / NAME NAME PATH ...
