The Oracle Database File System (DBFS) and Samba (SMB)

Install Samba
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo
yum install samba

Manual FUSE Installation

Download the FUSE 2.8.5 package from http://fuse.sourceforge.net/.

Determine the kernel directory.
# echo /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`-`uname -p`
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-128.el5-x86_64
#
Install the FUSE package as the "root" user using the following commands, substituting your kernel directory.
# tar -xzvf fuse-2.8.5.tar.gz
# cd fuse-2.8.5
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-kernel=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-128.el5-x86_64
# make
# make install
# /sbin/depmod
# /sbin/modprobe fuse
# chmod 666 /dev/fuse
# echo "/sbin/modprobe fuse" >> /etc/rc.modules
# chmod 700 /etc/rc.modules

Create DBFS File System

create user dbfs identified by dbfs default tablespace users quota unlimited on users;

grant dbfs_role to dbfs;
grant create session to dbfs;
grant create procedure to dbfs;
grant create table ro dbfs;
alter user dbfs default role all;

Create a simple file system

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
sqlplus dbfs/dbfs @dbfs_create_filesystem.sql USERS SAMBADBFS

Create a mount point
mkdir /smbdbfs
chown oracle:oinstall /smbdbfs

Configure fuse
echo user_allow_other > /etc/fuse.conf

Mount File System

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/lib
dbfs_client dbfs@localhost:1521/odmdb -o allow_root /smbdbfs <>

Configure Samba
smbpasswd -a oracle

vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]
security = user
encrypt passwords = Yes
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

[smbdbfs]
path = /smbdbfs
writeable = true
username = oracle

/etc/init.d/smb restart

From BI Publisher Release 10.1.3.3.2 there is a possibility to cache documents.
You can enable/disable this feature by going to

"Report" -> Edit -> Report Editor -> Report Properties -> General Settings -> Enable Document Cache

Recover datafile

1) check which tablespace is corrupted
SQL> select name, status from v$datafile where status not in ('ONLINE', 'SYSTEM');
2) take offline, recover datafile, bring it back online
SQL> alter datafile  'C:/ORACLEXE/ORADATA/XE/DATAFIEL_NAME.DBF' offline;
SQL> recover datafile 'C:/ORACLEXE/ORADATA/XE/DATAFIEL_NAME.DBF';
SQL> alter datafile  'C:/ORACLEXE/ORADATA/XE/DATAFIEL_NAME.DBF' online;

Add new type fonts to Bi Publisher server

Have you ever have that except PDF everything coming from BI Publisher look OK, but in pdf there are question marks like ??????? ???????? ????.
This is because other format use the local machine's fonts but PDF use own fonts.
The solution is to add the missing font type to

$BI_HOME//jdk/jre/lib/fonts/

After font types are copied to server you have to do a font mapping in BIP

"REPORT" -> Configure -> Font Mappings -> Add Font Mapping
