Overview

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',

composite_limit

Allows you set the composite_limit value in a profile.

Maximum weighted sum of: CPU_PER_SESSION, CONNECT_TIME, LOGICAL_READS_PER_SESSION, and PRIVATE_SGA. If this limit is exceeded, Oracle aborts the session and returns an error.

composite_limit <value UNLIMITED DEFAULT>

Here is an example on how to use this:

ora_profile { 'DEFAULT@sid':
  ensure                    => 'present',
    ...
  composite_limit           => 'UNLIMITED',
    ...
}

connect_time

Allows you set the connect_time value in a profile.

Allowable connect time per session in minutes

connect_time <value UNLIMITED DEFAULT>

Here is an example on how to use this:

ora_profile { 'DEFAULT@sid':
  ...
  connect_time              => 'UNLIMITED',
  ...
}

Back to overview of ora_profile

container

Allows you to specify the scope of the object.

This property is only supported on version 12 and higher. It allows you to specify if the user will be seen through all portable containers (e.g. global) of just in the current pluggable database.

You can use container on:

  • ora_user
  • ora_profile
  • ora_object_grant

Here is an example on how to use this:

ora_... { '...@sid':
  ...
  container       => 'local',
  ...
}

Valid values are local, common.

cpu_per_call

Allows you set the cpu_per_call value in a profile.

Maximum CPU time per call (100ths of a second)

cpu_per_call <value UNLIMITED DEFAULT>

Here is an example on how to use this:

ora_profile { 'DEFAULT@sid':
  ...
  cpu_per_call              => 'UNLIMITED',
  ...
}

Back to overview of ora_profile

cpu_per_session

Allows you set the cpu_per_session value in a profile.

Maximum CPU time per session (100ths of a second)

  ...
  cpu_per_session => 'UNLIMITED',
  ...
}

disable_corrective_change

Disable the modification of a resource when Puppet decides it is a corrective change.

(requires easy_type V2.11.0 or higher)

When using a Puppet Server, Puppet knows about adaptive and corrective changes. A corrective change is when Puppet notices that the resource has changed, but the catalog has not changed. This can occur for example, when a user, by accident or willingly, changed something on the system that Puppet is managing. The normal Puppet process then repairs this and puts the resource back in the state as defined in the catalog. This process is precisely what you want most of the time, but not always. This can sometimes also occur when a hardware or network error occurs. Then Puppet cannot correctly determine the current state of the system and thinks the resource is changed, while in fact, it is not. Letting Puppet recreate remove or change the resource in these cases, is NOT wat you want.

Using the disable_corrective_change parameter, you can disable corrective changes on the current resource.

Here is an example of this:

crucial_resource {'be_carefull':
  ...
  disable_corrective_change => true,
  ...
}

When a corrective ensure does happen on the resource Puppet will not modify the resource and signal an error:

    Error: Corrective change present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_change
    Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Crucial_resource[be_carefull]/parameter: change from '10' to '20' failed: Corrective change present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_change. (corrective)

disable_corrective_ensure

Disable the creation or removal of a resource when Puppet decides is a corrective change.

(requires easy_type V2.11.0 or higher)

When using a Puppet Server, Puppet knows about adaptive and corrective changes. A corrective change is when Puppet notices that the resource has changed, but the catalog has not changed. This can occur for example, when a user, by accident or willingly, changed something on the system that Puppet is managing. The normal Puppet process then repairs this and puts the resource back in the state as defined in the catalog. This process is precisely what you want most of the time, but not always. This can sometimes also occur when a hardware or network error occurs. Then Puppet cannot correctly determine the current state of the system and thinks the resource is changed, while in fact, it is not. Letting Puppet recreate remove or change the resource in these cases, is NOT wat you want.

Using the disable_corrective_ensure parameter, you can disable corrective ensure present or ensure absent actions on the current resource.

Here is an example of this:

crucial_resource {'be_carefull':
  ensure                    => 'present',
  ...
  disable_corrective_ensure => true,
  ...
}

When a corrective ensure does happen on the resource Puppet will not create or remove the resource and signal an error:

    Error: Corrective ensure present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_ensure.
    Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Crucial_resource[be_carefull]/ensure: change from 'absent' to 'present' failed: Corrective ensure present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_ensure. (corrective)

sid

SID to connect to.

All types have a name like resource@sid. The sid is optional. If you don’t specify the sid, the type will use the database from the /etc/ora_setting.yaml with the property default set to true. We advise you to either use @sid in all your manifests or leave it empty everywhere.
