QUESTION 1 - (Topic 1)
Examine the following query output:


You issue the following command to import tables into the hr schema:
$ > impdp hr/hr directory = dumpdir dumpfile = hr_new.dmp schemas=hr
TRANSFORM=DISABLE_ARCHIVE_LOGGING: Y
Which statement is true?

A. All database operations performed by the impdp command are logged.
B. Only CREATE INDEX and CREATE TABLE statements generated by the import are logged.
C. Only CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements generated by the import are logged.
D. None of the operations against the master table used by Oracle Data Pump to coordinate its activities are logged.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Oracle Data Pump disable redo logging when loading data into tables and when creating indexes.
The new TRANSFORM option introduced in data pumps import provides the flexibility to turn off the redo generation for the objects during the course of import. The Master Table is used to track the detailed progress information of a Data Pump job.
The Master Table is created in the schema of the current user running the Pump Dump export or import, and it keeps tracks of lots of detailed information.

QUESTION 2 - (Topic 1)
You execute the following commands to audit database activities:
SQL > ALTER SYSTEM SET AUDIT_TRIAL=DB, EXTENDED SCOPE=SPFILE;
SQL > AUDIT SELECT TABLE, INSERT TABLE, DELETE TABLE BY JOHN By SESSION WHENEVER SUCCESSFUL;
Which statement is true about the audit record that generated when auditing after instance restarts?

A. One audit record is created for every successful execution of a SELECT, INSERT OR DELETE command on a table, and contains the SQL text for the SQL Statements.
B. One audit record is created for every successfulexecution of a SELECT, INSERT OR DELETE command, and contains the execution plan for the SQL statements.
C. One audit record is created for the whole session if john successfully executes a SELECT, INSERT, or DELETE command, and contains the execution planfor the SQL statements.
D. One audit record is created for the whole session if JOHN successfully executes a select command, and contains the SQL text and bind variables used.
E. One audit record is created for the whole session if john successfully executes a SELECT, INSERT, or DELETE command on a table, and contains the execution plan, SQL text, and bind variables used.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Note:
* BY SESSION
In earlier releases, BY SESSION caused the database to write a single record for all SQL statements or operations of the same type executed on the same schema objects in the same session. Beginning with this release (11g) of Oracle Database, both BY SESSION and BY ACCESS cause Oracle Database to write one audit record for each audited statementand operation.
* BY ACCESS
Specify BY ACCESS if you want Oracle Database to write one record for each audited statement and operation.
Note:
If you specify either a SQL statement shortcut or a system privilege that audits a data definition language (DDL)statement, then the database always audits by access. In all other cases, the database honors the BY SESSION or BY ACCESS specification.
* For each audited operation, Oracle Database produces an audit record containing this information:
/ The user performing the operation
/ The type of operation
/ The object involved in the operation
/ The date and time of the operation

B. Data blocks in an extent are logically contiguous but can be non-contiguous on disk.
C. The blocks of a newly allocated extent, although free, may have been used before.
D. Data blocks in an extent are automatically reclaimed for use by other objects in a tablespace when all the rows in a table are deleted.

Answer: B,C

---

QUESTION 4 - (Topic 1)
Examine the following impdp command to import a database over the network from a pre-12c Oracle database (source):


Which three are prerequisites for successful execution of the command?

A. The import operation must be performed by a user on the target database by a user with theDATAPUMP_IMP_FULL_DATABASE role, and the database link must connect to a user with the DATAPUMP_EXP_FULL_DATABASE role on the source database.
B. All the user-defined tablespaces must be in read-only mode on the source database.
C. The export dump file must be created before starting the import on the target database.
D. The source and target database must be running on the same operating system (OS) with the same endianness.
E. The impdp operation must be performed by the same user that performed the expdpoperation.

Answer: A,B,D

Explanation:
In this case we have run the impdp without performing any conversion if endian format is different then we have to first perform conversion.

QUESTION 2
You want to perform the following operations for the DATA ASM disk group:
Verify the consistency of the disk.
Cross-check all the file extent maps and allocation tables for consistency.
Check whether the alias metadata directory and file directory are linked correctly.
Check that ASM metadata directories do not have unreachable allocated blocks.
Which command accomplishes these tasks?

A. ALTER DISKGROUP data CHECK;
B. ALTER DISKGROUP data CHECK DISK;
C. ALTER DISKGROUP data CHECK FILE;
D. ALTER DISKGROUP data CHECK DISK IN FAILURE GROUP 1;

Answer: A

Explanation:
Syntax: ALTER DISKGROUP <disk_group_id> CHECK [REPAIR | NOREPAIR];
The check_diskgroup_clause lets you verify the internal consistency of Oracle ASM disk group
metadata. The disk group must be mounted. Oracle ASM displays summary errors and writes the
details of the detected errors in the alert log.
The CHECK keyword performs the following operations:
Refer to here

---

QUESTION 3
Which two statements are true regarding the functionality of the remap command in ASMCMD?
(Choose two.)

A. It repairs blocks that have read disk I/O errors.
B. It checks whether the alias metadata directory and the file directory are linked correctly.
C. It repairs blocks by always reading them from the mirror copy and writing them to the original
location.
D. It reads the blocks from a good copy of an ASM mirror and rewrites them to an alternate
location on disk if the blocks on the original location cannot be read properly.

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
Reference from the Oracle document release v11.1 at here:
Repairs a range of physical blocks on a disk. The remap command only repairs blocks that have
read disk I/O errors. It does not repair blocks that contain corrupted contents, whether or not those
blocks can be read. The command assumes a physical block size of 512 bytes and supports all
allocation unit sizes (1 to 64 MB).
Reference from the Oracle document release v11.2 at here:
The remap command marks a range of blocks as unusable on the disk and relocates any data
allocated in that range.

---

QUESTION 4
What is the advantage of setting the ASM-preferred mirror read for the stretch cluster
configuration?

A. It improves resync operations.
B. This feature enables much faster file opens.
C. It improves performance as fewer extent pointers are needed in the shared pool.
D. It improves performance by reading from a copy of an extent closest to the node.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Preferred Read Failure Groups
When you configure Oracle ASM failure groups, it might be more efficient for a node to read from
an extent that is closest to the node, even if that extent is a secondary extent. In other words, you
can configure Oracle ASM to read from a secondary extent if that extent is closer to the node
instead of Oracle ASM reading from the primary copy which might be farther from the node. Using
the preferred read failure groups feature is most useful in extended clusters.

---

QUESTION 5
Examine the following command:
ALTER DISKGROUP data MOUNT FORCE;
In which scenario can you use the above command to mount the disk group?

A. when ASM disk goes offline
B. when one or more ASM files are dropped
C. when some disks in a disk group are offline
D. when some disks in a failure group for a disk group are rebalancing

Answer: C

Explanation:
In the FORCE mode, Oracle ASM attempts to mount the disk group even if it cannot discover all of
the devices that belong to the disk group. This setting is useful if some of the disks in a normal or
high redundancy disk group became unavailable while the disk group was dismounted. When
MOUNT FORCE succeeds, Oracle
ASM takes the missing disks offline.
If Oracle ASM discovers all of the disks in the disk group, then MOUNT FORCE fails. Therefore,
use the MOUNT FORCE setting only if some disks are unavailable. Otherwise, use NOFORCE.
In normal- and high-redundancy disk groups, disks from one failure group can be unavailable and
MOUNT FORCE will succeed. Also in high-redundancy disk groups, two disks in two different
failure groups can be unavailable and MOUNT FORCE will succeed. Any other combination of
unavailable disks causes the operation to fail, because Oracle ASM cannot guarantee that a valid
copy of all user data or metadata exists on the available disks.

QUESTION 6
Which background process of a database instance, using Automatic Storage Management (ASM),
connects as a foreground process into the ASM instance?

A. ASMB
B. PMON
C. RBAL
D. SMON

Answer: A

Explanation:
ASMB (ASM Background Process): Communicates with the ASM instance, managing storage and
providing statistics, runs in ASM instances when the ASMCMD cp command runs or when the
database instance first starts if the server parameter file is stored in ASM. ASMB also runs with
Oracle Cluster Registry on ASM.
RBAL (ASM Rebalance Master Process): In an ASM instance, it coordinates rebalance activity for
disk groups. In a database instances, it manages ASM disk groups.
PMON (Process Monitor): Monitors the other background processes and performs process
recovery when a server or dispatcher process terminates abnormally.
SMON (System Monitor Process): Performs critical tasks such as instance recovery and dead
transaction recovery, and maintenance tasks such as temporary space reclamation, data
dictionary cleanup, and undo tablespace management
