DBMS_DEFER_SYS

DBMS_DEFER_SYS procedures manage default replication node lists. This package is the system administrator interface to a replicated transactional deferred remote procedure call facility. Administrators and replication daemons can execute transactions queued for remote nodes using this facility, and administrators can control the nodes to which remote calls are destined.

This chapter discusses the following topic:

The lock is acquired with RELEASE_ON_COMMIT => true, so that pushing of the deferred transaction queue can resume after the next commit.

Syntax

DBMS_DEFER_SYS.EXCLUDE_PUSH (
   timeout   IN   INTEGER)
  RETURN INTEGER;

Parameters

Table 14-12 EXCLUDE_PUSH Function Parameters

PURGE Function

This function purges pushed transactions from the deferred transaction queue at your current master site or materialized view site.

Syntax

DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PURGE (
   purge_method         IN  BINARY_INTEGER := purge_method_quick,
   rollback_segment     IN  VARCHAR2       := NULL,
   startup_seconds      IN  BINARY_INTEGER := 0,
   execution_seconds    IN  BINARY_INTEGER := seconds_infinity,
   delay_seconds        IN  BINARY_INTEGER := 0,
   transaction_count    IN  BINARY_INTEGER := transactions_infinity,
   write_trace          IN  BOOLEAN        := NULL);
  RETURN BINARY_INTEGER;

Parameters

Table 14-18 PURGE Function Parameters 
Parameter Description
purge_method

Controls how to purge the deferred transaction queue: purge_method_quick costs less, while purge_method_precise offers better precision.

Specify the following for this parameter to use purge_method_quick:

dbms_defer_sys.purge_method_quick

Specify the following for this parameter to user purge_method_precise:

dbms_defer_sys.purge_method_precise

If you use purge_method_quick, deferred transactions and deferred procedure calls that have been successfully pushed may remain in the DEFTRAN and DEFCALL data dictionary views for longer than expected before they are purged. See "Usage Notes" for more information.

rollback_segment

Name of rollback segment to use for the purge, or NULL for default.

startup_seconds

Maximum number of seconds to wait for a previous purge of the same deferred transaction queue.

execution_seconds

If > 0, then stop purge cleanly after the specified number of seconds of real time.

delay_seconds

Stop purge cleanly after the deferred transaction queue has no transactions to purge for delay_seconds.

transaction_count

If > 0, then shut down cleanly after purging transaction_count number of transactions.

write_trace

When set to true, Oracle records the result value returned by the PURGE function in the server's trace file. When set to false, Oracle does not record the result value.

Returns

Table 14-19 Purge Function Returns  
Value Description
result_ok

OK, terminated after delay_seconds expired.

result_startup_seconds

Terminated by lock timeout while starting.

result_execution_seconds

Terminated by exceeding execution_seconds.

result_transaction_count

Terminated by exceeding transaction_count.

result_errors

Terminated after errors.

result_split_del_order_limit

Terminated after failing to acquire the enqueue in exclusive mode. If you receive this return code, then retry the purge. If the problem persists, then contact Oracle Support Services.

result_purge_disabled

Queue purging is disabled internally for synchronization when adding new master sites without quiesce.

Exceptions

Table 14-20 PURGE Function Exceptions
Exception Description
argoutofrange

Parameter value is out of a valid range.

executiondisabled

Execution of purging is disabled.

defererror

Internal error.

Usage Notes

When you use the purge_method_quick for the purge_method parameter in the DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PURGE function, deferred transactions and deferred procedure calls may remain in the DEFCALL and DEFTRAN data dictionary views after they have been successfully pushed. This behavior occurs in replication environments that have more than one database link and the push is executed to only one database link.

To purge the deferred transactions and deferred procedure calls, perform one of the following actions:


PUSH Function

This function forces a deferred remote procedure call (RPC) queue at your current master site or materialized view site to be pushed (propagated) to a remote site using either serial or parallel propagation.

Syntax

DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PUSH (
   destination          IN  VARCHAR2,
   parallelism          IN  BINARY_INTEGER := 0,
   heap_size            IN  BINARY_INTEGER := 0,
   stop_on_error        IN  BOOLEAN        := false,
   write_trace          IN  BOOLEAN        := false,
   startup_seconds      IN  BINARY_INTEGER := 0,
   execution_seconds    IN  BINARY_INTEGER := seconds_infinity,
   delay_seconds        IN  BINARY_INTEGER := 0,
   transaction_count    IN  BINARY_INTEGER := transactions_infinity,
   delivery_order_limit IN  NUMBER         := delivery_order_infinity)
  RETURN BINARY_INTEGER;

Parameters

Table 14-21 PUSH Function Parameters  
Parameter Description
destination

The fully qualified database name of the master site or master materialized view site to which you are forwarding changes.

parallelism

0 specifies serial propagation.

n > 1 specifies parallel propagation with n parallel processes.

1 specifies parallel propagation using only one parallel process.

heap_size

Maximum number of transactions to be examined simultaneously for parallel propagation scheduling. Oracle automatically calculates the default setting for optimal performance.

Note: Do not set the parameter unless so directed by Oracle Support Services.

stop_on_error

The default, false, indicates that the executor should continue even if errors, such as conflicts, are encountered. If true, then stops propagation at the first indication that a transaction encountered an error at the destination site.

write_trace

When set to true, Oracle records the result value returned by the function in the server's trace file. When set to false, Oracle does not record the result value.

startup_seconds

Maximum number of seconds to wait for a previous push to the same destination.

execution_seconds

If > 0, then stop push cleanly after the specified number of seconds of real time. If transaction_count and execution_seconds are zero (the default), then transactions are executed until there are no more in the queue.

The execution_seconds parameter only controls the duration of time that operations can be started. It does not include the amount of time that the transactions require at remote sites. Therefore, the execution_seconds parameter is not intended to be used as a precise control to stop the propagation of transactions to a remote site. If a precise control is required, use the transaction_count or delivery_order parameters.

delay_seconds

Do not return before the specified number of seconds have elapsed, even if the queue is empty. Useful for reducing execution overhead if PUSH is called from a tight loop.

transaction_count

If > 0, then the maximum number of transactions to be pushed before stopping. If transaction_count and execution_seconds are zero (the default), then transactions are executed until there are no more in the queue that need to be pushed.

delivery_order_limit

Stop execution cleanly before pushing a transaction where delivery_order >= delivery_order_limit

Returns

Table 14-22 PUSH Function Returns  
Value Description
result_ok

OK, terminated after delay_seconds expired.

result_startup_seconds

Terminated by lock timeout while starting.

result_execution_seconds

Terminated by exceeding execution_seconds.

result_transaction_count

Terminated by exceeding transaction_count.

result_delivery_order_limit

Terminated by exceeding delivery_order_limit.

result_errors

Terminated after errors.

result_push_disabled

Push was disabled internally. Typically, this return value means that propagation to the destination was set to disabled internally by Oracle for propagation synchronization when adding a new master site to a master group without quiescing the master group. Oracle will enable propagation automatically at a later time

result_split_del_order_limit

Terminated after failing to acquire the enqueue in exclusive mode. If you receive this return code, then retry the push. If the problem persists, then contact Oracle Support Services.

Exceptions

Table 14-23 PUSH Function Exceptions  
Exception Description
incompleteparallelpush

Serial propagation requires that parallel propagation shuts down cleanly.

executiondisabled

Execution of deferred remote procedure calls (RPCs) is disabled at the destination.

crt_err_err

Error while creating entry in DEFERROR.

deferred_rpc_quiesce

Replication activity for replication group is suspended.

commfailure

Communication failure during deferred remote procedure call (RPC).

missingpropagator

A propagator does not exist.

SCHEDULE_PURGE Procedure

This procedure schedules a job to purge pushed transactions from the deferred transaction queue at your current master site or materialized view site. You should schedule one purge job.

See Also:

Oracle9i Replication for information about using this procedure to schedule continuous or periodic purge of your deferred transaction queue

Syntax

DBMS_DEFER_SYS.SCHEDULE_PURGE (
   interval             IN  VARCHAR2,
   next_date            IN  DATE,
   reset                IN  BOOLEAN        := NULL,

   transaction_count    IN  BINARY_INTEGER := NULL,
   write_trace          IN  BOOLEAN        := NULL);

Parameters

Table 14-26 SCHEDULE_PURGE Procedure Parameters  
Parameter Description
interval

Allows you to provide a function to calculate the next time to purge. This value is stored in the interval field of the DEFSCHEDULE view and calculates the next_date field of this view. If you use the default value for this parameter, NULL, then the value of this field remains unchanged. If the field had no previous value, it is created with a value of NULL. If you do not supply a value for this field, you must supply a value for next_date.

next_date

Allows you to specify a time to purge pushed transactions from the site's queue. This value is stored in the next_date field of the DEFSCHEDULE view. If you use the default value for this parameter, NULL, then the value of this field remains unchanged. If this field had no previous value, it is created with a value of NULL. If you do not supply a value for this field, then you must supply a value for interval.

reset

Set to true to reset LAST_TXN_COUNT, LAST_ERROR, and LAST_MSG to NULL.

purge_method

Controls how to purge the deferred transaction queue: purge_method_quick costs less, while purge_method_precise offers better precision.

Specify the following for this parameter to use purge_method_quick:

dbms_defer_sys.purge_method_quick

Specify the following for this parameter to user purge_method_precise:

dbms_defer_sys.purge_method_precise

If you use purge_method_quick, deferred transactions and deferred procedure calls that have been successfully pushed may remain in the DEFTRAN and DEFCALL data dictionary views for longer than expected before they are purged. For more information, see "Usage Notes". These usage notes are for the DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PURGE function, but they also apply to the DBMS_DEFER_SYS.SCHEDULE_PURGE procedure.

rollback_segment

Name of rollback segment to use for the purge, or NULL for default.

startup_seconds

Maximum number of seconds to wait for a previous purge of the same deferred transaction queue.

execution_seconds

If >0, then stop purge cleanly after the specified number of seconds of real time.

delay_seconds

Stop purge cleanly after the deferred transaction queue has no transactions to purge for delay_seconds.

transaction_count

If > 0, then shut down cleanly after purging transaction_count number of transactions.

write_trace

When set to true, Oracle records the result value returned by the PURGE function in the server's trace file.


SCHEDULE_PUSH Procedure

This procedure schedules a job to push the deferred transaction queue to a remote site. This procedure performs a COMMIT.

See Also:

Oracle9i Replication for information about using this procedure to schedule continuous or periodic push of your deferred transaction queue

Syntax

   destination          IN  VARCHAR2,
   interval             IN  VARCHAR2,
   next_date            IN  DATE,
   reset                IN  BOOLEAN        := false,

   startup_seconds      IN  BINARY_INTEGER := NULL,
   execution_seconds    IN  BINARY_INTEGER := NULL,
   delay_seconds        IN  BINARY_INTEGER := NULL,
   transaction_count    IN  BINARY_INTEGER := NULL);

Parameters

Table 14-27 SCHEDULE_PUSH Procedure Parameters  
Parameter Description
destination

The fully qualified database name of the master site or master materialized view site to which you are forwarding changes.

interval

Allows you to provide a function to calculate the next time to push. This value is stored in the interval field of the DEFSCHEDULE view and calculates the next_date field of this view. If you use the default value for this parameter, NULL, then the value of this field remains unchanged. If the field had no previous value, it is created with a value of NULL. If you do not supply a value for this field, then you must supply a value for next_date.

next_date

Allows you to specify a time to push deferred transactions to the remote site. This value is stored in the next_date field of the DEFSCHEDULE view. If you use the default value for this parameter, NULL, then the value of this field remains unchanged. If this field had no previous value, then it is created with a value of NULL. If you do not supply a value for this field, then you must supply a value for interval.

reset

Set to true to reset LAST_TXN_COUNT, LST_ERROR, and LAST_MSG to NULL.

parallelism

0 specifies serial propagation.

n > 1 specifies parallel propagation with n parallel processes.

1 specifies parallel propagation using only one parallel process.

heap_size

Maximum number of transactions to be examined simultaneously for parallel propagation scheduling. Oracle automatically calculates the default setting for optimal performance.

Note: Do not set the parameter unless so directed by Oracle Support Services.

stop_on_error

The default, false, indicates that the executor should continue even if errors, such as conflicts, are encountered. If true, then stops propagation at the first indication that a transaction encountered an error at the destination site.

write_trace

When set to true, Oracle records the result value returned by the function in the server's trace file.

startup_seconds

Maximum number of seconds to wait for a previous push to the same destination.

execution_seconds

If >0, then stop execution cleanly after the specified number of seconds of real time. If transaction_count and execution_seconds are zero (the default), then transactions are executed until there are no more in the queue.

delay_seconds

Do not return before the specified number of seconds have elapsed, even if the queue is empty. Useful for reducing execution overhead if PUSH is called from a tight loop.

transaction_count

If > 0, then the maximum number of transactions to be pushed before stopping. If transaction_count and execution_seconds are zero (the default), then transactions are executed until there are no more in the queue that need to be pushed.


SET_DISABLED Procedure

To disable or enable propagation of the deferred transaction queue from the current site to a specified destination site. If the disabled parameter is true, then the procedure disables propagation to the specified destination and future invocations of PUSH do not push the deferred remote procedure call (RPC) queue. SET_DISABLED eventually affects a session already pushing the queue to the specified destination, but does not affect sessions appending to the queue with DBMS_DEFER.

If the disabled parameter is false, then the procedure enables propagation to the specified destination and, although this does not push the queue, it permits future invocations of PUSH to push the queue to the specified destination. Whether the disabled parameter is true or false, a COMMIT is required for the setting to take effect in other sessions.

Syntax

DBMS_DEFER_SYS.SET_DISABLED (
   destination   IN   VARCHAR2,
   disabled      IN   BOOLEAN := true,
   catchup       IN   RAW := '00',
   override      IN   BOOLEAN := false);

Parameters

Table 14-28 SET_DISABLED Procedure Parameters  
Parameter Description
destination

The fully qualified database name of the node whose propagation status you want to change.

disabled

By default, this parameter disables propagation of the deferred transaction queue from your current site to the specified destination. Set this to false to enable propagation.

catchup

The extension identifier for adding new master sites to a master group without quiescing the master group. The new master site is the destination. Query the DEFSCHEDULE data dictionary view for the existing extension identifiers.

override

A false setting, the default, specifies that Oracle raises the cantsetdisabled exception if the disabled parameter is set to false and propagation was disabled internally by Oracle.

A true setting specifies that Oracle ignores whether the disabled state was set internally for synchronization and always tries to set the state as specified by the disabled parameter.

Note: Do not set this parameter unless directed to do so by Oracle Support Services.

Exceptions

Table 14-29 SET_DISABLED Procedure Exceptions  
Exception Description
NO_DATA_FOUND

No entry was found in the DEFSCHEDULE view for the specified destination.

cantsetdisabled

The disabled status for this site is set internally by Oracle for synchronization during adding a new master site to a master group without quiescing the master group. Ensure that adding a new master site without quiescing finished before invoking this procedure.
