ITIL Process

ITIL Process

Introduction

In this Blog i am going to explain  ITIL Process,ITIL stands for Information Technology Infrastructure Library, It is the leading IT service management framework recognised globally and delivering impactful and techpowered services customers across the globe

ITIL is the set of guidelines observed ,gathered ,and put together  in ITIL Process IT practioner in best services in a timely limit , ITIL provides direction to the organization and its people  utilizing as a  tool for changing,transforming ,developing the business

Service: Service means delivering value to customers by facilitating outcomes customer want to achieve with out the ownership of risks or costs

Process: Process means a set of activities designed to accomplish a specific objective ,it takes defined inputs and turns them into the defined outputs

Function: Function means A team or group of people and the tools they use to carry out one or more process activities 

ITIL process  5 stages of life cycle 

In each stage ITIL Process consists of a set of processes ,key,Principles Roles,activities and performance measures related to stage of the ISTM

1. Service stratgey :which defines the vison and mission of the organization
2. Service Design: which refers and design the current issue
3. Service Transition :which is the process of process management new changes and modifications
4. Service Operations: inorder to complete the process responds the user requests guides them on the usage of the services so that runs smoothly on their end and fix any problems 
5. Continulal service improvement:quality check standards ,constant feedback and improving their service levels and technology implemented to deliver their services

• ITIL means helps business evaluate services for required improvement,
• ITIL helps make the implementation of decisions easy for business,
• ITIL helps in designing the various steps required to implement the decisions taken,
• ITIL starts with forming a strategy to take a decision that needs to be implemented

            In all these better service and value to the customers or client requirements,

In any organization or company they should follow the ITIL Process and Ticketing Tools

to smooth flow of the ITIL Life cycle.

Ticketing Tools

Ticketing Tools 

Introduction

In this Blog i am going to explainTicketing Tools is the software which provides platform for the users and clients issues in different environments like production,testing,development etc,ticket means a problem or incident

Ticketing and monitoring Tool

• BMC REMEDY--TT
• SERVICES NOW-TT
• OEM(ORACLE ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT TOOL)--MT

User Created Ticket: user will create a ticket and raise the incident using the Ticketing Tools  like BMC Remedy ,Services now

Automatic Ticket: integrate with OEM and Ticketing Tools , suppose an incident happen in the morning 2 am database server is down it will automatcally raise the inicident or problem ticket and send a email to that Respective DBA teams

BMC REMEDY: 

BMC Remedy is the customer relationship tool which can be used to log/monitor the issues or problems faced by the customers by the means of incident management tickets.each ticket is an incident (problem) which is created by the help desk and assigned to the relevant support team,concerned support team member take the ownership of the ticket and updates the work log(troubleshooting steps performed during the course of action,also it can be monitored service requests/change management change requests and  problem management

what are the teams Involved in Ticketing Tools 

Database team,unix/linux Team, Application Team,Middleware Team

Different teams will be involved in project will give their working status in this wok log

Tickets Types Incident Management

1.Incident:for example my database server  is not getting connected its down (Abnonmal conditions)so what we have to do is open the ticketing tool  raise an incident to the particlar DBA team

2.Service Requests: for example new employe has joined in the IT team suppose they want access rights of Database server logins and other things etc we raise a service request to the particular team

3.Problem Ticket:for example frequently getting problem in database server while connecting we raise a problem ticket (we will find the root cause of the problemor incident)

4.Change Request: For example change request will be raised when any updates or patching in the database or unix updates so we will raise a change request ticket to the particular unix servers team or Database server team particlar person owner of the server(maintaining the server)

Service Level Agreement : Service level agreement is contract between a service provider either internal or external and the end user defines the level of service expected from the service provider in simple words  contract between client and company that is SLA(Service level agreement)

Response SLA : Responsive SLA means when a ticket will come an start working on it u have to acknowledge that i am working on that particlar ticket  

Resolution SLA: once you acknowledge in progress to resolution  the ticket you have to resolve the particulat time start working on that particlar ticket on specified time limit 

SLA can be like this :

• For example critical priority ticket Response SLA will be 15 mins and Resolution SLA will be 4 hours 
• For example high priority ticket Response SLA will be 30 mins and Resolution SLA will be 8 hours 
• For example Medium priority ticket Response SLA will be 4 Hours and Resolution SLA will be 2days 
• For example critical priority ticket Response SLA will be 8 Hours and Resolution SLA will be 4 days 

 Basic information of any Ticketing Tools will look like this 

Ticket No:

Summary:

Status:

StartTime

End Time:

Reporting  Person:

Email ID

Phone:

Response SLA

Resolution SLA

Priority Of Tickets

P1--->Critical--> may be 4 hours of time

P2--->High---->may be 8 hours of time

P3--->Medium ---->may be 2 days of time

P4--->Low---->may be 4 days of time

Severities 

1. First open the ticket
2. Read the mesaage what the problem is about
3. Log into targeted servers
4. Check logs depending on errors
5. Propagate first hand information to stake holder(duty manager)
6. fix the issues and close it

Note: Info on  Ticketing Tools  it may be differ in your environment like production,testing,development

RPM Package Management

RPM Package Management

Introduction:

In this blog i am going to explain RPM Package Management, RPM is a default open source and most popular package management utility for Red Hat based systems like RHEL,CENTOS and FEDORA)

The Red Hat Enterprise linux system divided into RPM packages which can be installed ,upgraded or removed,all softwares on a Red Hat Enterprise linux system is divided into RPM packages

The tool allows linux system administrators and users to install,update,uninstall,query,verify and manage system software packages in unix/linux operating systems.RPM package file name will be .rpm

.rpm file that includes compiled software programs and libraries needed by the packages,

•    RPM is a free and easily downloaded from rpm sites ,released under the  GPL(General public Licence)    
•    RPM keeps the information of all the installed packages under this directory /var/lib/rpm database
•    RPM is the only way to install under the linux/unix systems to update the packages
•    RPM deals with the .rpm file swhich contains the information about the packages such as dependies info,version info

There are five commands mostly  used in linux/unix for  RPM Package Management

1. Install : it is used to install any RPM package .rpm file
2. Remove:it is used to remove or uninstall the RPM packages
3. Upgrade: it is used to upgrade the existing RPM package in linux/unix systems
4. Verify : it is used to verify the RPM packages in linux/unix systems
5. Query:it is used to query any RPM package

Below are the websites you can find and download  RPM Package Management

https://rpmfind.net/

https://www.redhat.com/en

https://rpm.org/download.html

Now Let us start the process  RPM Package Management

RPM is a popular utility for installing software on unix/linux systems

Step 1: Log in as root user on which you want to install the software you can manage the RPM commands by using root user privileges

Step 2: Download the RPM package you wish to install the package named some thing like java rpmpackage name  jre-8u111-linux-i586.rpm,the file name include version (1.0,8), release(1,u111) and architecture is (i386,i586)

Step 3: Check the PGP signature of packages before installing them on your linux systems make sure the integerity and origin is correct by using the following command  checksig(check signature)option to check signature of a package called pidgin

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm --checksig jre-8u111-linux-i586.rpm

jre-8u111-linux-i586.rpm: rsa sha1 (md5) pgp md5 OK

INSTALL A PACKAGE

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm - Uvh jre-8u111-linux-i586.rpm

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

   1:jre1.80_111           ########################################### [100%]

RPM commands and options

•     -i : install a package
•     -v : verbose for a nicer display of package
•     -h: print hash marks as the package archive is unpacked.

If a package with same name and version is already installed below output will show like this

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm - Uvh jre-8u111-linux-i586.rpm

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

           package jre1.8.0_111-1.8.0_111-fcs.i586 is already installed

However if you want to install the package anyway, youcanuse --replacepkgs option 

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm - ivh --replacepkgs jre-8u111-linux-i586.rpm

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

   1:jre1.8.0_111           ########################################### [100%]

 Force, option which tells RPM to ignore the error  

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm - ivh jre-8u111-linux-i586.rpm -- force

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

   1:jre1.8.0_111           ########################################### [100%]

If you attempt to install a package that contains a file which already been installed by another package below output show like this

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm-Uvh foo-1.0-1.i386.rpm

Preparing... ...               ########################################### [100%]

file   /usr/bin/foo from install of foo-1.0-1 conflicts with file from package bar-2.0.20

To make RPM ignore this error ,use the replacefiles option

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm-ivh--replacefiles  foo-1.0-1.i386.rpm

RPM packages may sometimes depend on other packages which requires other packages to be installed on the linux/unix system 

if u try to install a package which has an unresolved dependency package the below output shows like this

error : Failed dependencies:

bar.so.2 is needed by foo-1.0-1

suggested resolutions:

bar-2.0.20-.i386.rpm

If you are installing a pacakage ,it usually suggest the package needed to resolve the dependency

Download suggested packages from redhat sites and add it to the command

rpm -ivh foo-1.0-1.i386.rpm bar-2.0.20-3.i386.rpm

if both the packages are installed sucessfully it will show like this 

Preparing... ...               ########################################### [100%]  

                1:foo  ########################################### [100%]  

                2 :bar ########################################### [100%]  

if it does not suggest a package to resolve the dependency ,you cantry the --redhatproviders option to determine which package contains the required file

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm -q --redhatproviders bar.so.2

you need the rpmdb-redhat package installed to use this option

bar-2.0.20-3.i386.rpm

To force the installtion anyway,use the -nodeps option

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm-ivh  foo-1.0-1.i386.rpm --nodeps

UNINSTALL  A PACKAGE

To remove the uninstall package use the - erase option

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm - e jre1.8.0_111

UPGRADE A PACKAGE

To upgarde the package  RPM automatically uninstalls any old versions use the -U option  will install a package when there are no previous versions of the package installed 

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm - Uvh jre-8u111-linux-i586.rpm

FRESHENING A PACKAGE

Freshning a package similar to upgrading except that only existing packages are upgraded below is the command

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm - Fvh jre-8u111-linux-i586.rpm

QUERY DATABASE

To query this database use the -q option ,The rpm -q  package name command displays the package name,version,and relese number of the installed package name

 [root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm -q jre1.8.0_111

                                                 jre1.8.0_111-1.8.0_111-fcs.i586

Check all the installed package on the system

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm -qa

check whether particular package is installed or not

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm -q jre1.8.0_111

                                                 jre1.8.0_111-1.8.0_111-fcs.i586

Check a package is consistent or not before installing it

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm -ivh --test jre-8u111-linux-1586.rpm

       Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

To see the information about the installated package use below command to show

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm -qi jre1.8.0_111

To see the configuration file of the installed package use below command to show

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm -qlc jre1.8.0_111

To see the directory with which a particular package is associated

[root@chaitanyaoracledba]# rpm -qld jre1.8.0_111

ASH Report in Oracle

 ASH Report in Oracle

Introduction

The ASH Report in Oracle contains recent information on active sessions sampled every second,The AWR and ADDM report will taken every one hour genetates and one hour old report will not generate and will not help in diagnosis issues that are in the current database

The ASH Report in Oracle report is an integral part of the oracle database self-management framework and is extremely useful for diagnosing performance problems

The ASH Report in Oracle gathers sampled data at the session level rather than at the instance level by capturing statastics for only active sessions ,ASH report collects a manageable set of data

ASH Report in Oracle these are the parameters below are the following

• SQL identifier of a SQL statement
• 
  
• Object number,file number,and block number
• 
  
• Wait event identifier and parameters
• 
  
• Session identifier and session serial number
• 
  
• Module and action name
• 
  
• Client identifier of the session

Let us start the process

In this blog i am going to explain ASH Report in Oracle  in single instance database and Rac database and also i am going to tell detailed in ASH report manually 

The AWR and ADDM report will taken every one hour genetates Report

Here i am using  ORCL database and ORCL instance in this example

The ashrpt.sql SQL script generates an HTML or text report that displays ASH information for a specified duration.

To generate an ASH report:

Login to sqlplus / as sysdba

Step 1: At the SQL prompt, enter:

SQL>@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/ashrpt.sql

or 

SQL@?/rdbms/admin/ashrpt.sql

Step 2.: Specify whether you want an HTML or a text report:

Enter value for report_type: html

In this example, a html report is chosen.

Step 3:. Specify the begin time in minutes before the system date:

 

Enter value for begin_time: -10

In this example, 10 minutes before the current time is selected.

Step 4.: Enter the duration in minutes that the report for which you want to capture ASH information from the begin time.

Enter value for duration:

In this example, the default duration of system date minus begin time is accepted.

Step 5: Specify the Report  name, or accept the default report name:

Enter value for report_name:

Using the report name : / u01/ash.html

In this example, ASH report ash.html is generated. The report will gather ASH information beginning from 10 minutes before the current time and ending at the current time.

To generate an ASH report in an Oracle RAC environment:

Step1: At the SQL prompt, enter:

SQL@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/ashrpti.sql

Step2: Specify whether you want an HTML or a text report:

Enter value for report_type: html

In this example, an HTML report is chosen.

Step 3: A list of available database IDs and instance numbers are displayed:

Instances in this Workload Repository schema

DB Id         Inst Num   DB Name      Instance Host

----------- -------- ------------ ------------ ------------

2206262418 2    ORCLorcl localhost1660

2206262418 1    OMALL341 omallt341 cha341

2206262418 2    OMALL341 omallt342 cha342

2206262418 3   OMALL341 omallt343 cha343

2206262418 4    OMALL341 omallt344 cha344

Enter the values for the database identifier (dbid) and instance number (inst_num):

Enter value for dbid: 2206262418

Using database id: 2206262418

Enter instance numbers. Enter 'ALL' for all instances in an Oracle

RAC cluster or explicitly specify list of instances (e.g., 1,2,3).

Defaults to current instance.

Enter value for inst_num: ALL

Using instance number(s): ALL

Step 4: Specify the begin time in minutes before the system date:

Enter value for begin_time: -1:10

In this example, 1 hour and 10 minutes before the current time is selected.

Step 5:. Enter the duration in minutes that the report for which you want to capture ASH information from the begin time:

Enter value for duration: 10

In this example, the duration is set to 10 minutes.

Step 6:. Specify the slot width in seconds that will be used in the Activity Over Time section of the report:

Enter value for slot_width:

In this example, the default value is accepted.

Step 7: Follow the instructions as explained in the subsequent prompts and enter values for the following report targets:

* target_session_id

* target_sql_id

* target_wait_class

* target_service_hash

* target_module_name

* target_action_name

* target_client_id

* target_plsql_entry

Step 8: Enter a report name, or accept the default report name:

Enter value for report_name:

Using the report name ashrpt_rac_0210_0232.txt
