Resource types

ora_asm_directory

This type allows you to manage your ASM Directories.

Like the other Oracle types, it's not mandatory to specify a SID here. In that case it will use the ora_setting entry for ASM with the default property set to true If you do specify a SID it must be an ASM sid. Most of the times, this is +ASM

ora_asm_directory {'+DATA/DIR/SUBDIR@+ASM':
  ensure          => 'present',
  path            => '+DATA/DIR/SUBDIR'
}

ora_function

This resource allows you to manage PL/SQL functions in the Oracle database.

ora_function { 'testuser.return_some_value':
  ensure  => 'present',
  source => '/vagrant/tests/function.sql',
}

This puppet definition ensures that the function testuser.return_some_value is available in the database and that its content matches the content defined in the specified source.

To decide if the function needs an update, the puppet type compares the content in the database, with the content in the source file. This comparison is done insenitive to case, white spacing and used quote's (the " or the ` ).

When you have specified report_errors => true (which is the default), the type will fail on PL/SQL compilation errors. functions with compilation errors do however end up in the database. On a second Puppet run the won't be updated. Puppet reports a warning these resources though?

Warning: function TESTUSER.RETURN_SOME_VALUE@test up-to-date, but contains 4 error(s).

this type allows you to manage your init.ora parameters. You can manage your spfile parameters and your memory parameters. First the easy variant where you want to change an spfile parameter on your current sid for your current sid.

ora_init_param{'SPFILE/PARAMETER':
  ensure  => present,
  value   => 'the_value'
}

To manage the same parameter only the in-memory one, use:

init_param{'MEMORY/PARAMETER':
  ensure  => present,
  value   => 'the_value'
}

If you are running RAC and need to specify a parameter for an other instance, you can specify the instance as well.

init_param{'MEMORY/PARAMETER:INSTANCE':
  ensure  => present,
  value   => 'the_value'
}

Having more then one sid running on your node and you want to specify the sid you want to use, use @SID at the end.

init_param{'MEMORY/PARAMETER:INSTANCE@SID':
  ensure  => present,
  value   => 'the_value'
}

Managing parameters of pluggable database is also supported. This behaves like regular databases.

ora_object_grant{'OTHER_USER->sys.dbms_aqin':
   permissions => [],
}

Parameters

The following parameters are available in the ora_object_grant type.

• provider

provider

The specific backend to use for this ora_object_grant resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform.

ora_package

This resource allows you to manage PL/SQL packages in the Oracle database.

ora_package { 'testuser.pkg_manage_my_objects':
  ensure  => 'present',
  source => '/vagrant/tests/package.sql',
}

This puppet definition ensures that the package testuser.pkg_manage_my_objects is available in the database and that its content matches the content defined in the specified source.

To decide if the package needs an update, the puppet type compares the content in the database, with the content in the source file. This comparison is done insenitive to case, white spacing and used quote's (the " or the ` ).

When you have specified report_errors => true (which is the default), the type will fail on PL/SQL compilation errors. Packages with compilation errors do however end up in the database. On a second Puppet run the won't be updated. Puppet reports a warning these resources though?

Warning: package TESTUSER.PKG_MANAGE_MY_OBJECTS@test up-to-date, but contains 4 error(s).

Properties

The following properties are available in the ora_package type.

This resource allows you to manage PL/SQL procedures in the Oracle database.

ora_procedure { 'testuser.proc_manage_my_objects':
  ensure  => 'present',
  source => '/vagrant/tests/procedure.sql',
}

This puppet definition ensures that the procedure testuser.proc_manage_my_objects is available in the database and that its content matches the content defined in the specified source.

To decide if the procedure needs an update, the puppet type compares the content in the database, with the content in the source file. This comparison is done insenitive to case, white spacing and used quote's (the " or the ` ).

When you have specified report_errors => true (which is the default), the type will fail on PL/SQL compilation errors. procedures with compilation errors do however end up in the database. On a second Puppet run the won't be updated. Puppet reports a warning these resources though?

Warning: procedure TESTUSER.PROC_MANAGE_MY_OBJECTS@test up-to-date, but contains 4 error(s).

ora_profile

This resource allows you to manage a user profile in an Oracle database.

Here is an example on how to use this:

ora_profile { 'DEFAULT@sid':
  ensure                    => 'present',
  composite_limit           => 'UNLIMITED',
  connect_time              => 'UNLIMITED',
  cpu_per_call              => 'UNLIMITED',
  cpu_per_session           => 'UNLIMITED',
  failed_login_attempts     => '10',
  idle_time                 => 'UNLIMITED',
  logical_reads_per_call    => 'UNLIMITED',
  logical_reads_per_session => 'UNLIMITED',
  password_grace_time       => '7',
  password_life_time        => '180',
  password_lock_time        => '1',
  password_reuse_max        => 'UNLIMITED',
  password_reuse_time       => 'UNLIMITED',
  password_verify_function  => 'NULL',
  private_sga               => 'UNLIMITED',
  sessions_per_user         => 'UNLIMITED',
  inactive_account_time     => '120',
  container                 => 'ALL'
}

Parameters

The following parameters are available in the ora_profile type.

• provider

provider

The specific backend to use for this ora_profile resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform.

ora_record

This resource allows you to manage a record in an Oracle database table.

Use ora_record to make sure a record with a specified primary key exists in the specified table. Here is an exaple:

ora_record{'set_external_service_name':
  ensure     => 'present',
  table_name => 'CONFIG_DATA',
  key_name   => 'CONFIG_ID',
  key_value  => 10,
  username   => 'ORACLE_USER',
  password   => 'verysecret',
  data       => {
    'CONFIG_NAME'  => 'service_name',
    'CONFIG_VALUE' => 'http://external.data-server.com',
    ...
  }
}

This Puppet code tells you that the table CONFIG_DATA from user ORACLE_USER must contain a record where the primary key CONFIG_ID is 10. If Puppet notices that this record doesn't exist, It will create the record and fill its data with the data specified in the data property. If Puppet sees that the key already exists, it does nothing. This code will make sure your database contains the record, but it will not ALWAYS set the data. This code is useful for example in use cases where there is a set of management screens to manage these settings. Puppet makes sure the setting exists, but will leave the settings as they are after the system is running and applications managers might have changed the values.

If you always want to make sure the record contains the specified data, use updated for the ensure property.

ora_record{'set_external_service_name':
  ensure     => 'updated',
  table_name => 'CONFIG_DATA',
  username   => 'ORACLE_USER',
  password   => 'verysecret',
  key_name   => 'CONFIG_ID',
  key_value  => 10,
  data       => {
    'CONFIG_NAME'  => 'service_name',
    'CONFIG_VALUE' => 'http://external.data-server.com',
    ...
  }
}

Now Puppet will not only check if the record exists, but it will also always make sure the specified columns contain the specified values. If there are columns you don't want to manage, then just leave them blank.

Parameters

The following parameters are available in the ora_record type.

• provider

provider

The specific backend to use for this ora_record resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform.

ora_role

This type allows you to create or delete a role inside an Oracle Database.

It recognises a limit part of the options that CREATE ROLE supports.

ora_role {'just_a_role@sid':
  ensure    => present,
}

You can also add grants to a role:

ora_role {'just_a_role@sid':
  ensure    => present,
  grants    => ['create session','create table'],
}

Properties

The following properties are available in the ora_role type.

ensure

Valid values: present, absent

The basic property that the resource should be in.

Default value: present

Parameters

The following parameters are available in the ora_role type.

• provider

provider

The specific backend to use for this ora_role resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform.

ora_scheduler_job

This resource allows you to manage schedulaed jobs in the Oracle database. Here is an example on how to use this:

ora_scheduler_job{'sys.cleanup_audit_job@SID':
  ensure          => 'present',
  job_type        => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
  job_action      => 'begin cleanup_audit; end;',
  start_date      => '18-10-2018 23:45:00',
  repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY',
  comments        => 'Purge Audit Logs',
  enabled         => 'TRUE',
}

Properties

The following properties are available in the ora_scheduler_job type.

ensure

Valid values: present, absent

The basic property that the resource should be in.

Default value: present

Parameters

The following parameters are available in the ora_scheduler_job type.

• provider

provider

The specific backend to use for this ora_scheduler_job resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform.

ora_schema_definition

This resource allows you to manage a schema definition. This includes all tables, indexes and other DDL that is needed for your application.

ora_schema_definition{'MYAPP':
    ensure      => '1.0.0',
    schema_name => 'MYAPP,
    password    => 'verysecret',
    source_path => '/opt/stage/myapp/sql',
}

In this example we tell Puppet, we need schema version 1.0.0 for MYAPP in the database. In layman's terms now the following things will happen:

• The Puppet type will log in to the database using username myapp and the very secret password and it will look at the version of the schema already available.
• If the current version is lower than the specified version, Puppet will execute the upgrade SQL scripts in the source path until the correct version is reached.
• If the current version is higher than the requested version, Puppet will execute the downgrade scripts until the requested version is reached.

Schema version?

What is this concept of a schema version? To administer the current version, Puppet uses a table called SCHEMA_VERSION. Here is the definition of this table:

CREATE TABLE schema_version
(  id                NUMBER
  ,application       VARCHAR2(255)
  ,version           VARCHAR2(255)
  ,description       VARCHAR2(255)
  ,installation_time TIMESTAMP(6)
);

Puppet uses this table to store the history of all schema versions applied. If the table doesn't exists, Puppet will create it for you. Using this information, Puppet can tell what the state of the current schema in the database is. Puppet creates this table for every single schema/user you manage. This means, you can have multiple schemas with different versions in your database.

What about these upgrade and downgrade scripts.

In order for Puppet to do it's magic, the upgrade and downgrade scripts, need to have specific names. Here is a listing of some upgrade scripts:

upgrades/0000_myapp_0.0.1_initial-schema.sql
upgrades/0001_myapp_0.0.2_add-user-table.sql
upgrades/0002_myapp_0.1.0_initial-release.sql

As you can see, all the file names have the following structure:

• a four-digit sequence number
• application name
• version number
• description

All fields are separated by an underscore. The upgrade scripts contain all SQL statements needed to upgrade the database schema to the desired state. In general upgrade scripts contain statements to create tables and indexes and add or remove columns, but you can also insert data into the lookup-tables or create database packages.

The downgrades directory contains scripts with the same names. The downgrade scripts contain the SQL statements needed to put the database in the state it was before. So if you add a column in an upgrade script, you'll have to remove this column in the downgrade script.

Parameters

The following parameters are available in the ora_schema_definition type.

• provider

provider

The specific backend to use for this ora_schema_definition resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform.

ora_service

This resource allows you to manage a service in an Oracle database.

It has support for serices on single instance databases, but also supports creating services on a RAC cluster. Here is an example on setting a service on a RAC cluster.

ora_service { 'MYSERVICE.DEVELOPMENT.ORG@SID1':
  ensure              => 'present',
  aq_ha_notifications => 'false',
  clb_goal            => 'LONG',
  dtp                 => 'false',
  failover_delay      => '0',
  failover_method     => 'NONE',
  failover_retries    => '0',
  failover_type       => 'NONE',
  lb_advisory         => 'THROUGHPUT',
  management_policy   => 'AUTOMATIC',
  preferred_instances => ['O2DEVEL1'],
  server_pool         => ['O2DEVEL_STAM.DEVELOPMENT.ORG'],
  service_role        => 'PRIMARY',
  status              => 'running',
  taf_policy          => 'NONE',
}

On a single instance Oracle database, most of the above options are ignored. So a simple version of the manifest for such a database would be:

ora_service { 'MYSERVICE.DEVELOPMENT.ORG@SID1':
  ensure              => 'present',
}

ora_service doesn't manage the internal services created by Oracle.

Properties

The following properties are available in the ora_service type.

ensure

Valid values: present, absent

The basic property that the resource should be in.

Default value: present

Parameters

The following parameters are available in the ora_service type.

• provider

provider

The specific backend to use for this ora_service resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform.

ora_setting

This resource allows you to set the defaults for all other ora types.

All ora types need a ora_setting definition. This is a pointer to a local or remote database. You need to create one for every local, remote or pluggable database you want to manage. When you don't provide a ora_setting identifier in the title of the oracle type then it will use default as identifier. The connect string is according to the EZCONNECT naming method.

Here is an example on how to create the default settings:

ora_setting { '<SID>':
  default        => true|false,
  user           => '<username>',
  password       => '<password>',
  syspriv        => 'sysdba|sysasm|sysoper|sysbackup|sysdg|syskm',
  oracle_home    => '<path>',
  connect_string => "[//]host[:port][/service_name][:server][/instance]",
  pluggable      => true|false,
}

If you want to manage a remote database, like for instance DB1. You will have to specify a local oracle_home from where sqlplus can be started. You use ora_setting like this:

ora_setting { 'DB1':
  default        => true,
  user           => 'sys',
  password       => 'password',
  syspriv        => 'sysdba',
  oracle_home    => '/opt/oracle/12.1.0.2/db',
  connect_string => '//host1:1522/DB1',
  pluggable      => false,
}

Parameters

The following parameters are available in the ora_setting type.

  ensure      => 'present',
  table_name  => 'TABLE_NAME',
  table_owner => 'TABLE_OWNER',
}

ora_synonym { 'OWNER.SYNONYM_NAME@SID':
  ensure      => 'present',
  table_name  => 'TABLE_NAME',
  table_owner => 'TABLE_OWNER',
}

ora_tablespace

This type allows you to manage an Oracle tablespace. The datafile and num_datafiles properties are mutually exclusive. When specifying multiple datafiles(or num_datfiles > 1) all datafiles will get the same settings for size, autoextend, next and max_size.

It recognises most of the options that CREATE TABLESPACE supports.

ora_tablespace {'my_app_ts@sid':
  ensure                    => present,
  datafile                  => 'my_app_ts.dbf',

  extent_management         => local,
  segment_space_management  => auto,
  encryption                => 'AES256',
}

Tablespace with multiple datafiles:

ora_tablespace {'my_app_ts@sid':
  ensure                    => present,
  datafile                  => ['my_app_ts01.dbf', 'my_app_ts02.dbf'],
  size                      => 5G,

  max_size                  => 20G,
  extent_management         => local,
  segment_space_management  => auto,
  encryption                => 'AES256',
}

Tablespace with multiple datafiles using Oracle Managed Files:

ora_tablespace {'my_app_ts@sid':
  ensure                    => present,
  num_datafile              => 3,
  size                      => 5G,
  logging                   => yes,
  autoextend                => on,
  next                      => 100M,

  extent_management         => local,
  segment_space_management  => auto,
  encryption                => 'AES256',
}

You can also create an undo tablespace:

ora_tablespace {'my_undots_1@sid':
  ensure                    => present,
  contents                  => 'undo',
}

or a temporary tablespace:

tablespace {'my_temp_ts@sid':
  ensure                    => present,
  datafile                  => 'my_temp_ts.dbf',
  contents                  => 'temporary',
  size                      => 5G,
  autoextend                => on,
  next                      => 100M,
  max_size                  => 20G,

ora_trigger

This resource allows you to manage PL/SQL packages in the Oracle database.

ora_trigger { 'testuser.my_trigger':
  ensure  => 'present',
  source => '/vagrant/tests/triger.sql',
}

This puppet definition ensures that the trigger testuser.my_trigger is available in the database and that its content matches the content defined in the specified source.

To decide if the package needs an update, the puppet type compares the content in the database, with the content in the source file. This comparison is done insenitive to case, white spacing and used quote's (the " or the ` ).

When you have specified report_errors => true (which is the default), the type will fail on PL/SQL compilation errors. Packages with compilation errors do however end up in the database. On a second Puppet run the won't be updated. Puppet reports a warning these resources though?

Warning: trigger TESTUSER.MY_TRIGGER@test up-to-date, but contains 4 error(s).
