Collecting oracle server configuration

Wolf, what do you really want to accomplish, beyond accumulating a whole lot of impressive data?  The "... as much information as I can..." is vague.  You then turn around and say your goal is "some configuration information".  Well, what do you need that the init.ora file doesn't have?

We can hand over many, many queries, but not necessary to replicate what RDA does.

Secondly,   if your supervisor has authorized you to use Oracle Support, then this CSI "taking weeks" is halderdash.  One signs into MOS, using your existing Oracle SSO account or a newly created one.  A window or two later, you enter the authorized CSI number.  An email goes IMMEDIATELY to the DBA or DBAs who administer access.  Conceivably, your supervisor should have emailed the/those DBAs with a note of authorization.  Otherwise, the ONLY reason they have to take weeks and weeks is that someone is being dishonest -- or in rare circumstances, the staff pooled into a winning lottery ticket and they've all quit.

Hi,
I am looking for rda like SQL collection of queries which will list database server build information to replicate at other site.

Thanks

Wolf, to replicate the database, all the relevant information is maintained in the database control file.  The DBA can dump the contents to an editable trace file, then cut and paste the CREATE DATABASE information into SQL on the new host.  This is explained in clear detail, one good source is http://oracleinstance.blogspot.com/2010/09/re-create-lost-controlfile.html.

>>is maintained in the database control file

I would like to add that you would also need the spfile (or pfile) to get the parameters.

What additional information do you think you need that is not in those two locations?

I've never generated an RDA report so I'm not sure what all is in there.

Hi,
I do not have access thru ssh or scp on server. I just have SQL client side access.

Thanks

The suggestion was to have the DBA dump the controlfile.  The DBA should also be able to provide you with the spfile.

That said:
spfile contents can be found in v$parameter (look for isdefault='FALSE' for the ones set by the dba).

The datafiles and tempfiles can be selected from dba_data_files and dba_temp_files.

What else are you looking for?

Wolf, I am becoming confused, which frankly is not difficult.  Since you do not have the administrator access, can you explain for us why you need to have configuration data?  Better still, can you explain to your DBAs why he/she/they should provide this to you?

Good news, then.  I look forward to learning if this approach resolves your expectations.

No one supplied the info I needed
