Configuring Partitions Introduction to the Verification Scripts

9-14 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BPM Suite 4. Review the logs and SQL files generated in the PART_DIR directory.

9.4.5 Verifying and Dropping Partitions

To verify and drop partitions: 1. Execute function verify_soa.verify_1.

2. Check the log file in the PART_DIR folder with the name SOA_PARTITION_

NAME _LOG_1 for any failures.

3. Drop the partitions that can be dropped by using the script generated in the

PART_DIR folder with the name SOA_PARTITION_NAME_RESULT_1.sql.

4. Execute verify_soa.verify_2.

5. Check the log file in the PART_DIR folder with the name SOA_PARTITION_

NAME _LOG_2 for any failures.

6. Drop the droppable partitions using the script generated in the PART_DIR folder

with the name SOA_PARTITION_NAME_RESULT_2.sql.

9.4.6 Partial Partitioning of Components

If you have an environment in which some components are partitioned, while other components are not partitioned, the nonpartitioned data set must be purged using the purge scripts described in Section 9.3, Deleting Large Numbers of Instances with the Purge Scripts. For example, assume human workflow is not partitioned, while other components are partitioned. The verification script reports that all SOA partitions can be dropped. However, the human workflow tables continue to hold workflow data until it is purged using the purge scripts. Note: Verification scripts are not provided for business rules. Note: There is an issue caused by the existence of foreign key constraints in the Oracle B2B table. When dropping the partition, the B2B partition purge is invoked, the foreign key constraints must be disabled before dropping the partition and enabled afterward. To perform this action, execute the PLSQL procedures b2b_disable_ constraints and b2b_enable_constraints at the appropriate steps in the above procedure. Because foreign keys are enabled and disabled in these procedures, it is not recommended to run them on a live system.
