SQLServer: export and import maintenance plan, fix "local server connection" error

I am setting up new sqlserver maintenance plan, a quick way to do this is to export an existing sqlserver maintenance plan from a gold image server and import it to the new server. the steps are:

On the gold image sqlserver:
SSMS connect to SSIS, find the maintenance plan in MSDB, right click -> export, save it as a file.

On the new image sqlserver:
SSMS connect to SSIS, import the package into MSDB
SSMS connect to Database engine, find the imported maintenance plan, schedule it to run

After completion of the steps, I right click on the job and test run, it failed with error, something like below:

"Failed to acquire connection "Local server connection"."

The error is caused by the configuration of the gold image, when the maintenance plan is configured there, it uses the server name in the connection manager, and sa account for sqlserver authentication.

The fix is to open the exported file, find the line "data source" like below, and modify it to be localhost and use windows authentication, save the file, and re-import it to the new sqlserver, and it ran successful.

<DTS:ConnectionManager
          DTS:ConnectionString="Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;Connect Timeout=30;" />

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...

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, t...
