 Oracle 8: Network Administration Concepts

Types of Networks
There are 3 basic network types. Simple or 2-tier, Simple/Complex or N-tier, and Complex.

SIMPLE (2-TIER) NETWORK

In two-tier network, a client communicates directly with a server. This is also called cli-
ent/server architecture. The client and server communicate over the network by using a given
protocol and it must be installed on both the client and the server. This configuration works
best with only small networks.

SIMPLE/COMPLEX (N-TIER) NETWORK

In n-tier networks, one or more agents are introduced between the client and server. This
agent can provide:
Translation Services
Scalability Services
Intelligent Agent Services

This middle tier contains applications and services. The Server holds the actual data.

COMPLEX NETWORK
In a complex network you have different hardware platforms, multiple protocols, and differ-
ent geographical locations.

Net8 Overview
Oracle Net8 offers comprehensive platform support. This includes:
Protocol independence
Integrated GUI administration tools
Multiple configuration options
Tracing and diagnostic toolset
Basic security

ORACLE NAMES
Oracle Names is a tool of Net8 that stores the database addresses for entire environment.
This tool provides centralized configuration, simplified network administration, and client
profile information.

CONNECTION MANAGER
Connection Manager is a tool of Net8 which is normally installed and configured on middle
tier. It provides multiplexing of connections, cross protocol connectivity, and network access
control.

ADVANCED NETWORKING OPTION

To ensure secure transmission, advanced networking option must be installed on both client
and server. This offers network security options such as client side encryption, and encrypted

1 http://www.troytec.com
 data plus checksumming. At the server data is decrypted along with checksumming if proper
key is installed on the server.

SECURITY SERVER
Security Server supports authorization and authentication using cryptographic checksumming
in an Oracle environment. Also provides for Single Sign-On so users who may need access to
multiple databases no longer are issued different username/password pairs for each server.

OPEN GATEWAY
The Oracle open gateway extends the capability of Oracle server tier to non-Oracle environ-
ment. It provides transparent and procedural gateways.

NET8 STACK
In an Oracle client-server transaction, information passes through the following six client side
layers:
Client Application
Oracle Call Interface (OCI)
Two Task Common (TTS)
Transparent Network Substrate (TNS)
Oracle Protocol Adapters (OPA)
Network Specific Protocols

Client Side Layer Stack

APPLICATION LAYER
It provides all user oriented activities such as character or graphical user interface (GUI) dis-
play, screen control, data presentation, application flow and other application specifies.

ORACLE CALL INTERFACE (OCI) LAYER

It defines server calls, parses SQL statements, opens cursors, binds variables, executes SQL,
fetches data and closes cursors. It also initiates a SQL dialogue between the client and server.

TWO TASK COMMON (TTS) LAYER

Converts i-e data types and character sets.

TRANSPARENT NETWORK SUBSTRATE (TNS) LAYER

This layer provides a generic interface to industry standard protocols. It consists of more
Net8 specific layers:
Network Interface (NI) Layer - It provides a generic interface to access Net8 func-
tions, resolves connect descriptors to connect strings and handles break and reset
requests.
Network Routing (NR) Layer - It routes information from client to destination.
Network Naming (NN) Layer - It resolves network aliases to destination address.
Network Authentication (NA) Layer - It negotiates authentication with destination.
Network Session (NS) Layer - It handles connect handshake and negotiation, buffer
management and handles connection pooling and multiplexing.

2 http://www.troytec.com
 NETWORK TRANSPORT (NT) LAYER
It maps TNS generic calls to protocol-specific calls and includes NT layers that handle trans-
port.

ORACLE PROTOCOL ADAPTER (OPA) LAYER

It consists of three sub-layers, NT Main, NT(2) and NT OS.

NETWORK SPECIFIC PROTOCOLS

All Oracle software in the client-server connection process requires an existing network pro-
tocol stack to make the machine level connection between the two machines.

Server Side Layer Stack

ORACLE PROGRAM INTERFACE (OPI) LAYER
It responds to each OCI call made by the client side.

TTS, TNS, OPA and PROTOCOL LAYERS

All perform the same functions as on the client side.

SERVER LAYER
Its responsible for receiving OCI calls from the client and resolving SQL statements on be-
half of the client.

Network Program Interface (NPI)

NPI is a server specific version of OCI and it enables coordinating servers to construct SQL
requests for other servers.

SERVER-SIDE CONFIGURATION
The Listener Process:
It can listen for more than one database.
Performs load balancing
Listens on Multiple Protocols
Default name of the listener is LISTENER.

The Listener Responses

When a request is made by a client to the server, the listener will perform one of the follow-
ing:

Bequeath Session
When the listener spawns a dedicated server process and bequeaths (passes) the connection to
a dedicated server process, the session is called a bequeath session and the sequence of events
is as follows:
A client connects to the listener with the network address.
The listener receives the session request and determines if the request can be serv-
iced.

3 http://www.troytec.com
 If possible the listener spawns a new dedicate server process to serve the incoming
session and bequeaths the session to that server process.
Once the session is established data flows directly between the client and dedicated
server process.

Redirect Session (Prespawned Dedicated Server Process)

The connection time from client to server is faster than the bequeath method. The following
occurs:
The listener spawns a series of dedicated server processes when it is started, so
when a client connects to the listener with a network address listener determines if
the request can be processed or not.
If the connection is possible listener issues a redirect message to the client con-
taining the network address of one of the prespawned servers.
The client disconnects from the listener and connects to the prespawned address
given by the listener.
Once the session is established, the server listener spawns another server to replace
the one used by the client.

Note: The maximum number of server processes are defined by the parameter PRE-
SPAWN_MAX in listener.ora file.
Redirect Session (Dispatcher Server Process)
This occurs when the Oracle server is configured as a multithreaded server. In the multi-
threaded server the listener will redirect the incoming request to the dispatcher.
When a database instance is started, dispatchers are started according to the con-
figuration parameters in the init.ora file.
The address of each dispatcher is then registered with the listener and the client
connects to the listener with the network address.
If the received request can be serviced the listener issues a redirect message to cli-
ent containing the network address of least used dispatcher for the multithreaded
server.
The client disconnects from the listener and connects to the dispatcher address
given by the listener and the dispatcher updates the listener with new load value.

The LISTENER.ORA File

When a listener is started using the Listener Control Utility (LSNRCTL), it creates a lis-
tener.ora file with following default settings:
listener name LISTENER
Port 1521
Protocols TCP/IP and IPC
SID name Default database
Hostname Default hostname

Listener Control Utility (LSNRCTL)

A tool used to control the listener. Commands from the listener Control utility can be issued
from the command line or from the LSNRCTL prompt.

4 http://www.troytec.com
 LSNRCTL COMMANDS:
Command Description
DBSNMP_START Starts the SNMP Intelligent Agent for an Oracle data-
base running on the same node.
DBSNMP_STOP Stops SNMP agent for an Oracle database.
RELOAD Shuts down everything except listener addresses and
re-reads listener.ora. It enables you to add or change
services without actually stopping the listener.
SAVE_CONFIG Creates a backup of listener configuration file lis-
tener.bak and updates listener.ora to reflect any
changes.
SERVICES Provides a detailed information about the services the
listener listens for.

CLIENT-SIDE CONFIGURATION
Host Naming Method
In using the host naming method you must have installed TCP/IP, Net8 and TCP/IP protocol
adapter. The host-naming method requires minimal user configuration and requires the file
sqlnet.ora.

Local Naming Method

Requires the configuration of a file named tnsnames.ora through Net8 Assistant.

Service Name
A service name is a short, convenient name that is mapped to a network address contained in
the network descriptor which is stored in the tnsnames.ora file. Users only need to know the
appropriate service name and not the full connect descriptor.

Test Service
It is used to test the simple network when its configured using the Net8 Assistant.

Oracle Names Usage and Configuration

RESOLVING SERVICE NAMES
Connection strings are resolved using one of the methods below.

Local Naming
Uses tnsnames.ora to lookup service names.

Host Naming
The actual name of the machine on which the database resides is used to establish a connec-
tion to the service.

Centralized Naming
This method uses Oracle names, which is a names service that maintains central storage of
network service addresses. The Names server has the benefit of simplified administration
tasks, increased efficiency, eliminates redundancy and facilitates location transparency.

5 http://www.troytec.com
 Note: Names server resolves the client request to connect to a service by translating the
service name to a network address.

To use centralized naming, the Names server and the client attempting to use the Names
server must be configured. The Names server can be configured using the Net8 Assistant or
by manually editing the names.ora file. The names client profile can be configured using the
Net8 Assistant or by manually editing the sqlnet.ora file.

NAMES SERVER
Names.ora is the configuration file for Names server and sqlnet.ora is that for client. The
Names server resides in the root region. A Names server can be controlled by using Net8 As-
sistant, control panel and names control utility. It can be configured either manually by edit-
ing names.ora or by using Net8 Assistant.

Client Side Cache

It saves the time a client would normally take to re-query the Names server. A region data-
base is database repository of service names stored by the Names server.

NAMES CONTROL UTILITY (NAMESCTL)

To test if the Names server is up and running, the PING command is used.
To view the location of names.ora file, trace file, etc. issue the
NAMESCTL>STATUS command.

Oracle Intelligent Agent for Oracle Enterprise Manager

ORACLE INTELLIGENT AGENT (OEM)
OEM is a graphical application that combines a number of services to provide a comprehen-
sive system management platform.

THE INTELLIGENT AGENT

An Intelligent Agent is a smart process running on a remote node (server) in the network.
OEM on a client node communicates with Intelligent Agents to run jobs and monitor events
on remote sites. The Intelligent Agent is responsible for accepting jobs and events, canceling
jobs or events, running jobs, collecting results and queuing jobs, checking events and queuing
the resulting event reports, returning jobs and event reports, handling SNMP requests and
discovering services on nodes where agents reside.

LISTENER CONTROL UTILITY

Listener Control Utility is the tool used to start, stop and view the status of the Intelligent
Agent.
A few commands are:
LSNRCTL> dbsnmp_start Used to start the Intelligent Agent.
LSNRCTL> dbsnmp_stop Used to stop the Intelligent Agent.
LSNRCTL> dbsnmp_status Used to view the status of Intelligent Agent.

NOTE: The Intelligent Agent creates three configuration files. The main configuration file is
snmp_ro.ora while the other two are snmp_rw.ora (second configuration file) and serv-

6 http://www.troytec.com
 ices.ora. The services.ora file contains the services discovered by the listener. A user
must be created for the agents to manage jobs and events.

Repository - A set of tables in your schema that can be placed in any Oracle database in
your system. A repository is created by a Repository Manager when Enterprise Manager
attempts to connect for the first time to a server running an Intelligent Agent.

Multithreaded Server
SINGLE-TASK ARCHITECTURE
The user and the server processes are combined in a single user process. When one process
executes both the application code and Oracle code, this configuration is called single-task
Oracle.

TWO-TASK ARCHITECTURE
A dedicated server process handles requests for a single user process. If the user and server
processes are separate, the term two-task is used. In two-task Oracle the servers can be shared
or dedicated and the database application code and Oracle code are executed by different pro-
cesses. In Dedicate Server Processes (Shadow Server Process) the user and server processes
are separate, each user has its own server process, the user and server processes can run on
different machines, there is one-to-one ratio between user and server processes and even
when user process is not making a database request the dedicated server exists but remains
idle.

MULTITHREADED SERVER (MTS)

A multithreaded server process enables many user processes to share a number of server pro-
cesses. MTS improves the server efficiency by allowing any server to process an incoming
request, rather than waiting for a specific user to issue a request.
MTS reduces the number of processes against instance, increases the number of possible us-
ers per node, offers automatic load balancing, reduces the number of idle server processes
and reduces memory usage, system overhead and can be set to support connection pooling..

MTS Connecting
The listener waits for any connection requests from a user process, if the user process can
connect to a dispatcher the listener gives the user process address of a dispatcher process.
Once the connection has been established, either through a dispatcher or a dedicated server
process the connection will be maintained for the duration of session.

Processing A Request In MTS

A user sends a request to its dispatcher, the dispatcher places the request into request queue in
SGA, a shared server picks up the request from the request queue and processes the request,
the shared server places the response on the calling dispatchers response queue, the response
is handed off to dispatcher, and the dispatcher returns the response to the user.

Request Queue - One request queue is shared by all dispatchers, shared servers monitor the
request queue for new requests and the requests are processed on a first-in, first-out basis.

7 http://www.troytec.com
Response Queue - Shared servers place all completed requests on the calling dispatchers re-
sponse queue, each dispatcher has its own response queue in the SGA, each dispatcher is re-
sponsible for sending completed requests back to appropriate user process and users are con-
nected to the same dispatcher for the duration of a session.
Configuring the MTS

LOCAL_LISTENER - Specifies the service name defined in tnsnames.ora. It specifies the

service names for listeners with which dispatchers register their services.

MTS_SERVICE - Establishes the name of the service for which the dispatchers of MTS in-
stance associate. Using this name in the CONNECT string allows users to connect to an in-
stance through a dispatcher.

MTS_DISPATCHERS - Specifies the number of dispatchers initially started for a given

protocol.

MTS_MAX_DISPATCHER - Specifies the maximum number of dispatchers that can be

started and needs alter system command to add more dispatchers than initially started.

MTS_SERVERS - It specifies the number of shared servers initially started. If you want
Oracle to use shared servers, you must set MTS_SERVERS to at least 1 and if you omit the
parameter or set it to 0, Oracle does not start any shared server at all.

MTS_MAX_SERVERS - It specifies the maximum number of shared servers that can be

started and will allocate shared servers dynamically if need more than initially started.

CONNECTION POOLING
It is a resource utilization feature that allows you to maximize the number of physical net-
work connections to MTS.
One or more connections are established to a dispatcher in a MTS environment.
When the maximum connections are reached for available dispatchers for a given
protocol and connection pooling is configured the next session trying to establish a
connection will wait for an existing idle connection to be temporarily disconnected
by the dispatcher and then the connection is established.
The connection that was idle becomes temporarily disconnected.
To enable connection pooling the init.ora parameter MTS_DISPATCHERS must
be configured.

CONNECTION MANAGER
It is a multipurpose networking solution to enable greater resource utilization for increased
scalability, multiprotocol connectivity and secure network access control.

NOTE: Connection Manager is installed on a middle tier in a multi-tiered environment.

It greatly reduces the resource consumption on end tier and enables highly scalable con-
figurations. When a connection is established through Connection Manager the database
SID to which connection needs to be established is given by SOURCE_ROUTE. In addi-

8 http://www.troytec.com
 tion listener address specified for Connection Manager and destination listener address
needs to be listed. To use connection concentration you are required to configure the
MTS on destination database.

CMAN Contains the listening address for Connection Manager.

CMAN_PROFILE Contains CMAN configuration parameters.
CMAN_RULES Contains the rules for filtering incoming connection re-
quests. To configure network access control this com-
mand in cman.ora needs to be configured. SRV is the
SID name of targeted database.
CMCTL START It is a control command for Connection Manager and
starts the Connection Manager or one of its compo-
nents. In addition you can specify additional arguments
for CMCTL utility and can also be configured in
CMAN.ORA

CONNECTION MANAGER WITH ORACLE NAMES SERVER

Oracle Names server automatically updates Connection Manager listening ad-
dresses.
In the client sqlnet.ora file different parameters can be set.

Troubleshooting the Network Environment

Tracing and Logging can be enabled to help troubleshoot the environment. The
output from tracing and logging are stored in ASCII files.
To enable tracing on the client side we can use either Oracle Net8 Assistant in
which a profile is stored and implemented through sqlnet.ora or to edit the profile
itself. However, trace facility uses a large amount of disk space and may have sig-
nificant effect upon system performance. This feature is disabled by default. In ad-
dition to client side tracing you can also enable tracing for the listener, Names
server, Connection Manager and OEM daemon.
The level of tracing can be specified by following commands.
OFF (tracing disabled), USER (trace information applicable for users), ADMIN
(trace information applicable for database administrators) and SUPPORT (trace in-
formation applicable for customer support staff)
Logging refers to the process by which network components note and append error-
specific information to a log file. Logging can be configured using Net8 Assistant.
Sqlnet.ora contains the information you put in profile.
An error stack refers to information that is produced by each layer in an Oracle
communication stack as a result of network error and a log file provides this infor-
mation.

NOTE:
To use a log file to diagnose a network error starting from the bottom of the file, locate
the first non-zero entry in error support. This is usually the actual cause.

9 http://www.troytec.com
 If that error does not provide the desired information, review next error in the stack until
you locate the correct error information.
If the cause of error is still not clear, turn on tracing and re-execute the statement that
produced the error message.

TRACE ASSISTANT
It helps to diagnose and troubleshoot network problems by a better understanding of flow of
packets between network nodes, which component of Net8 is failing and related set of error
codes. Net8 performs its functions by sending and receiving data packets and by specifying
the trace level to SUPPORT you can view the actual contents of Net8 packets in your trace
file. Trace assistant is also able to provide useful statistics and data about performance of an
Oracle application across the network and this information is valuable in identifying potential
performance bottlenecks.

NOTE: To find error codes related to your problem first check the log files, if they do not
give the needed information run through checklist and if the checklist does not provide the
solution, enable tracing and logging and if everything is still unclearcall support.

Security in the Network Environment

A sound network must have solid security capabilities to protect against the network intru-
sions that comprise the following.

Data Privacy - Ensuring that data is not disclosed or stolen during transmission.

Data Integrity - Ensuring that data is not modified or disrupted during transmission.

Authentication - Confidence that users, hosts and client identities are correctly
known.

Authorization - Permitting a user, a program, or a process to access an object or set of

objects.

NETWORK SECURITY SOLUTIONS

To counter network security risks, the Advanced Networking Option (ANO) can be imple-
mented and it enables following network security solutions:
Data Encryption
Cryptographic Checksumming
Authentication Mechanisms

ANO ensures data integrity through cryptographic checksums using MD5 algorithm. ANO
also ensures data privacy through encryption. ANO is an optional product that does not ship
with Net8; the only security that Net8 provides by default is user name and password encryp-
tion.

10 http://www.troytec.com
Data Encryption
Encryption is a technique that scrambles data using a key. Without the key the data can not be
unscrambled. Special hardware is used to encrypt data. The two algorithms used for encryp-
tion are Data Encryption Standard (DES) and RSARC4. The longer the length of the key the
stronger is the encryption, the stronger the encryption the longer it takes to break the code.

Cryptographic Checksumming
Labels each packet before it transmits and when the packet arrives, the server checks to see if
the packet is in order.

Authentication Mechanisms
The mechanisms of authentication are network authentication services, token cards and
biometric authentication adapter. To configure authentication the parameter is configured in
sqlnet.ora.
