Purpose

adrci Automated Diagnostic Repository Command Interpreter
agtctl A multithreaded extproc agent is started, stopped, and configured by an agent control utility called agtctl, which works like lsnrctl. However, unlike lsnrctl, which reads a configuration file (listener.ora), agtctl takes configuration information from the command line and writes it to a control file.

CMADMIN Connection Manager Administration
CMCTL Connection Manager Control utility
CMGW Connection Manager Gateway
CMMIGR Connection Manager tool that can be used to migrate an 9i cman.ora file to 11g
CreateDep Likely stands for "Create Deployment" but appears to be undocumented
crsctl Clusterware Control
crssetup Clusterware Setup
csscan Database Character Set Scanner
ctxhx The Ultra Search crawler uses the Oracle Text AUTO_FILTER, ctxhx, for processing of binary files. These are non-text, non-HTML files such as PDF files, Microsoft Word files, and so on. For Ultra Search to use the AUTO_FILTER, the shared library path environment variable must contain the $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib path.
ctxkbtc The knowledge base is the information source that Oracle Text uses to perform theme analysis, such as theme indexing, processing ABOUT queries, and to document theme extraction with the CTX_DOC package. A knowledge base is supplied for English and French.

With the ctxkbtc compiler, you can:
  • Extend your knowledge base by compiling one or more thesauri with the Oracle Text knowledge base. The extended information can be application-specific terms and relationships. During theme analysis, the extended portion of the knowledge base overrides any terms and relationships in the knowledge base where there is overlap.
  • Create a new user-defined knowledge base by compiling one or more thesauri. In languages other than English and French, this feature can be used to create a language-specific knowledge base.
ctxlc The Lexical Compiler (ctxlc) is a command-line utility that enables creation of Chinese and Japanese lexicons (dictionaries). Such a lexicon may either be generated from a user-supplied word list or from the merging of a word list with the system lexicon for that language.
ctxload Used to import a thesaurus file into the Oracle Text thesaurus tables.

NID
DBNEWID is a database utility that can change the internal database identifier (DBID) and the database name (DBNAME) for an operational database.

Prior to the introduction of the DBNEWID utility, you could manually create a copy of a database and give it a new database name (DBNAME) by re-creating the control file. However, you could not give the database a new identifier (DBID). The DBID is an internal, unique identifier for a database. Because Recovery Manager (RMAN) distinguishes databases by DBID, you could not register a seed database and a manually copied database together in the same RMAN repository. The DBNEWID utility solves this problem by allowing you to change any of the following:

* Only the DBID of a database
* Only the DBNAME of a database
* Both the DBNAME and DBID of a database

Changing the DBID of a database is a serious procedure. When the DBID of a database is changed, all previous backups and archived logs of the database become unusable. After you change the DBID, you must open the database with the RESETLOGS option, which re-creates the online redo logs and resets their sequence to 1 (see the Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide). Consequently, you should make a backup of the whole database immediately after changing the DBID.

Changing the DBNAME without changing the DBID does not require you to open with the RESETLOGS option, so database backups and archived logs are not invalidated. However, changing the DBNAME does have consequences. You must change the DB_NAME initialization parameter after a database name change to reflect the new name. Also, you may have to re-create the Oracle password file. If you restore an old backup of the control file (before the name change), then you should use the initialization parameter file and password file from before the database name change.

Syntax:
Keyword Description Default
TARGET Username / Password None
DBNAME New database name None
LOGFILE Output log None
REVERT Revert failed change NO
SETNAME Set a new database name only NO
APPEND Append to output log NO
HELP Displays help messages NO
/*

To change the database name in addition to the DBID, specify the DBNAME parameter.
This example changes the name to orabase:

% nid TARGET=sys/oracle@test DBNAME=orabase

/*
The DBNEWID utility performs validations in the headers of the datafiles and control files before attempting I/O to the files. If validation is successful, then DBNEWID prompts you to confirm the operation (unless you specify a log file, in which case it does not prompt), changes the DBID for each datafile (including offline normal and read-only datafiles), and then exits. The database is left mounted but is not yet usable.
