Install Oracle XE, SQL Developer, and Toad on the same machine?

I have been trying to install Oracle SQL Developer, Toad, and Oracle Express on my work computer. Installing SQL Developer and Toad was pretty straightforward, and I was able to browse the XE database with SQL Developer. But after installing Toad, problems started. Toad was using Oracle XE's registry settings to locate ORACLE_HOME and oci.dll. So I tried changing the settings for Oracle XE in the registry. Toad now works, but not Oracle XE. And while I was going through this all, I even had a time when I had Toad and oracle xe working, but not SQL Developer. It almost looks like you can choose two of the products, but not all three.
So, my question to the community at large is "Can it be done?". In what directories do you have each product installed? What environment variables do you have set? Where is your tnsnames.ora? What Oracle registry settings do you have set (namely HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE)?
I can post my current settings, but I've been through so many iterations that these current settings don't really matter that much.
Here are the details I am looking for
Path to sqldeveloper.exe
Path to oracle.exe (for Oracle XE)
Environment Variables
ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_BASE
TNS_ADMIN
PATH (just the oracle stuff)
Registry Settings
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORACLE_HOME
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORACLE_BASE
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\TNS_ADMIN
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\OLEDB
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORAMTS_CP_TRACE_DIR

I don't use toad, but there should be no reason why you can't install all 3. SQL Developer is a very clean install and affects nothing else. It doesn't add to the path, or create any registry entries except for file associations.
A toad installation should pick up your oracle client (in this case the XE code). I am curious as to why you felt you had to change registry settings. What problem were you trying to fix?
My recommendation would be to uninstall everything, clean the registry and reinstall in the order XE, Toad, SQL Developer. Test in between installations and seek help for problems as you find them. Bear in mind that this is the forum for SQL Developer. QUestions about Oracle XE would be better answered in the dedicated forum, or in the Installation forum, and questions about Toad in a toad forum.

Designer 6i and 10g on the same machine?

I have Designer 6i and corresponding repository on my machine.
The problem with 6i I can't save diagramm in HTML format
I believe I can save in HTML format in 10g or other?
Can I install on the same machine 10g designer?
should I configure new repository?
TIA

See my update on your earlier question.
As for running 6i and 10g on the same machine, yes you can do it. You just have to install them in separate Oracle Homes, and be careful when you tell them which version of EXP and IMP to use. There is one MAJOR caveat, however. They cannot use the same Designer Repository - 6i client won't talk to a 10g repository and 10g client won't talk to a 6i repository. You can upgrade a 6i repository to 10g with the RAU, but take a backup before you do - the only way to go back is to restore your backup. Besides, I think that if you upgrade to the last supported version of Designer 6i (you should be able to get it from MetaLink) you will get the Publish Diagrams utility.
Frankly, my opinion is that there is only one reason to stay on 6i - if you need to generate and support 6i client/server Oracle Forms. If you don't use Oracle Forms, or if you have moved on to Web Forms with the middle tier Forms Server, I'd recommend an upgrade to Designer 10g and Developer 10g.

Replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 files server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished

I am wanting to replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 file server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished. For the moment I just need some "high level" guidance, little details can be worked out once I know
which direction I will go. I was considering that DFS might be a way to help get through the process although when finished the 2012R2 Files server will be by itself with no other file server planned at this time. DFS can stay installed for maybe
future purposes but clearly I wouldn't need the DFS Replication with only one machine.
Here's a few details of the environment....
1. DC's are 2012R2 but it is still 2003 DFL because the old 2003 DCs are still present. But likely they will be gone and the DFL elevated before I start on the File Server project
2. Nearly all machines in the facility have a shortcut on the "All Users" Desktop that points to the existing old File Server. Editing or replacing that shortcut would be a major pain,...hence why I want to keep the same machine name at least,
and maybe the same IP if not too much trouble. This way the existing shortcut would continue to work with the new 2012R2 File Server. The UNC path represented in that shortcut is also configured into one or more of our major business applications,
futher emphasizing the need to keep the UNC path the same throughout the process.
3. The facility runs 24/7/365 but is "light" on weekends. The political environment is such that there is little to no tolerance for any down time at all.
4. Would DFS (based from the 2012R2 machine) be a good tool to get where I need to go?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Phillip Windell

Hi Sharon,
I've done some more reading and have a few new ideas to run past you....
Yes regular DFS wouldn't help and the Namespace would still be different than how it was with just the old server. However I was thinking DFS Replication could replace the purpose of RoboCopy and it would keep the two locations "in sync" until I was ready
to flip over to the new server. DFS Rep can exist independently of a DFS Namespace, so a Namespace is not even needed. It needs a minimum of 2003R2 for the "later & better" DFS Rep but I believe 2003 can do an "in place" upgrade to 2003R2, so I would upgrade
the old server to 2003R2 first. As long as the DFS Rep on 2012R2 and 2003R2 will properly interact I think that will work.
Thanks for the reg info on the Shares. I'm debating if editing that would reg file would really be much better than manually creating the Shares on the new server while the DFS Replication was doing its job. I'll probably export that Key as a
safety move whether I use it or not.
Once the DFS Rep is fully in sync and the Shares are in place on the new server, I figure I would then:
1. Remove the DFS Replication Object (optionally remove DFS Services completely)
2. Rename the old File Server to something else and set it to DHCP
3. Rename the new File Server to the name I want to use and give it the IP the old server had.
How does that sound?

Is it possible to run VLM and lmtools on the same machine

hi together ... is it possible to run VLM and lmtools on the same machine without any problems?
the running system will be Windows Server 2008 R2 x64! maybe we will install the license server on the virtual server.

Hi SvenNittmann,
in general, it should be possible to run both tools (VLM and lmtools for FlexNet) on the same machine. But I wouldn't recommend you this way, because NI VLM is also build on top of FlexNet and sometimes you will receive ugly problems with the installation of both tools on the same PC. It is possible to use VLM in a virtual machine without any problems or restrictions. NI provides information about the usage of VLM in a virtual machine, like you can see here:
Volume License Manager on a Virtual Machine - National Instruments
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5730FDDC97F9157E8625755F00749CFF?OpenDocument
I also use VLM in a virtual machine and I could recommend you the same solution.

CS3 Bridge and CS4 on the same machine.

Hello Everyone,
I have adobe photoshop CS3 and Illustrator CS4 on my machine. Any known issues for running bridge CS3 and CS4 on the same machine? Some experts at telling me not to use Photoshop CS3 with Bridge CS4, just wondering. Thanks for you replies.

Bridge is not really a stand alone product, and tuned to work with its current version of PS. Also, Bridge CS4 has some features changed and/or added. So if using CS3 Bridge you might have aspects that don't work with PS CS4.
I would keep CS3 on the machine if you don't need the HD space, until you feel you no longer need the older version. But use them as a pair as intended. Also, only have one Bridge running at a time.
I did not upgrade to CS4, but from what I have read I see no reason to use Bridge CS3 as the upgrade is faster, less prone to crashes, and has added features.
CS4 PS on the other hand can be tricky if you don't have a newer computer with a good video card.

SQL Developer and TOAD connection.

Hi,
I am able to see the DDL script for tables using TOAD, but NOT using SQL Developer (2.1.1). Same user, pass, and tnsname file.
They use same tnsname.ora file on my computer. I set basic and TNS connection for SQL Developer.
The connection is from my computer to the server (Oracle 11.1.0.7 EE).
ORA-31603: object "ALARM_DEFINITION" of type TABLE not found in schema "AIRCOM"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 3241
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4812
ORA-06512: at line 1
It is same with packages. I cannot see package body.
What is the different and which additional privileges I need to see the DDL script?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Konstantin

I don't think it's a connection issue. There seem to be differences in how Oracle and Toad access system views to show objects. If you search the boards you see it has effected a couple of people. Sometimes they post what permissions they changed to get things to work for them.
ie... Re: Issue with viewing Package Body in SQL Developer 2.1 RC1
I don't think I've seen any official documentation to indicate what privileges need to be granted in order to see them thought. And I think there is a bug that prevents generating DDL for tables owned by other users. I don't know if that extends to generating stored procedure code.

Running Tuxedo8.0 on oracle 8.1.6 and oracle 10.2.0.2.0 on the same machine

Hello,
I have oracle 8.1.6 64 bit and oracle 10.2.0.2.0 64 bit
running on the same hp UX 11i 64-bit machine
I have installed Tuxedo 8.0 32bit on the same machine.
I have a working tuxedo 8.0 environment running against the 8.1.6 oracle
database
in the Tuxedo .../udataobj/RM file I have for the 8.1.6 environment the string
Oracle_XA:xaosw:-L${ORACLE_HOME}/lib -lclntsh
In oracle 8.1.6 home there are directories lib and lib64
but in oracle 10.2.0.2.0 home there are directories
lib and lib32
what string should I use for the oracle 10.2.0.2.0?
Oracle_XA:xaosw:-L${ORACLE_HOME}/lib32 -lclntsh maybe???
Must the string in the RM file for oracle always begin with the string
Oracle_XA?
If so is, possible at all to run the the binaries of one Tuxedo installation
against two different databases versions because the RM strings are similar in
the beginning but in 8.1.6 refer to the lib directory and in 10.2.0.2.0 refer
to the lib32 directory ?
Or do I need to have two installations of tuxedo8.0 binaries on the machine?
I have tried to for 10.2.0.2.0 the line (the Ora10_XA is only a try...)
Ora10_XA:xaosw:-L${ORACLE_HOME}/lib32 -lclntsh
in the RM file but when starting tuxedo I get:
$ cat /mnt04/edu/ressu/bin/xa_NULL06092006.trc
ORACLE XA: Version 10.2.0.1.0. RM name = 'Oracle_XA'.
111035.16584.0:
xaogetmod: XAER_INVAL; Invalid xa_info string.
Any comments on the matter appreciated.
rgds,
Jyri

Jyri,
The information before the first colon in the $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file is
only used by the buildtms, buildserver, and buildclient programs to find the
line corresponding to the value of the -r option, so it should be OK to
specify different values for Oracle 8.1.6 and Oracle 10.2.0.2.0.
The information specfied in the OPENINFO string in the *GROUPS section of
the TUXCONFIG file must be of the form
OPENINFO="ORACLE_XA:Oracle_XA+...."
The strings ORACLE_XA and Oracle_XA cannot be changed, except for case. The
"...." can be replaced with parameters such as
SqlNet=NAMESesTm=100+LogDir=.+MaxCur=5 or whatever is used in your
applicatino. The "xaogetmod: XAER_INVAL: Invalid xa_info string" error you
are getting is due to an incorrect OPENINFO parameter.
If you are running a 32-bit version of Tuxedo you must link with the
${ORACLE_HOME}/lib32 library on 10gR2; if you are using a 64-bit version of
Tuxedo you must link with ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib library. The procedure is
similar for Oracle 8 except that it seems that the lib directory may be the
32-bit library in that version of Oracle.
32-bit and 64-bit binaries cannot be mixed under a single TUXDIR, but it is
possible to use multiple RMs or multiple versions of the same RM on the same
machine.
The syntax of the open string and the list of libraries to link with is
specified in the "Oracle Database Application Developer's Guide -
Fundamentals" in the "Developing Applications with Oracle XA" chapter.

Developer 1.6, 2.1 and 6i on the same machine does not work

I have installed the three versions on the same machine against Oracle 7.3.4 in another node. Each one is installed in a different OracleHome. Version 2.1 and 6i works fine but when I run Forms 1.6 I get a message telling me that it cannot find the fmcus.msb.
Is trying to find it in the path of the Developer 2.1 and of course it does not work.
The Oracle Home selector only shows me those corresponding to 2.1 and 6i.
It is possible some workaround even if running one version at a time.
Thanks.

How to install iFS and iAS on the same machine?

I have successfully installed iFS on a Windows NT 4 machine. Now, I would like to install iAS Enterprise Edition on the same machine. The installation guide for iAS says that I should first deinstall all products from the default ORACLE_HOME. I have not found a clue as to what to do if I want to keep the software already installed.
Would it work if I tried (after installing iAS) re-install iFS using different ORACLE_HOME directory?
Is there a white paper or any other document that would clear up the issues involved in installing Oracle products in ORACLE_HOME?
Thanks a lot,
Marek

You can install IAS on the same machine that Oracle and IFS are on. Install IAS into a new Oracle Home (i.e. D:\IAS).
This worked for me.
I am still waiting to hear how (look for my post about 20 below yours) how to configure IFS to use the Apache Web Server that is part of IAS.
Good Luck.
Maybe one of these days Oracle will create an IAS discussion forum. This is my third request and I haven't heard anything back from them yet.

Cannot install Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Client Tools on same machine

I am having trouble setting up Crystal Reports Server 2008 with Client Tools on a new Windows 2003 SP 2 machine. The Server 2008 package installs OK (built-in MySQL server, built-in Tomcat 5.5 server). Reports run okay. But my customer wants to run reports that use Salesforce as a data source, so I tried to install Crystal Reports Server 2008 Client Tools (needed for Salesforce support, apparently). I receive this error:
'Business Objects product detected: cannot continue with install'. Installation of Client Tools immediately terminates.
Oddly enough, when I uninstalled Server 2008, the Client Tools installed successfully. Then I tried installing Server 2008, and I got the same error message as with Server 2008. What the heck?
Any ideas on how I can get Server 2008 and Server 2008 Client Tools to live in harmony on the same machine? We were able to do this with a (otherwise overloaded) Win2K3 server before.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Typically the client tools are installed with enterprise by default. If not then you would want to use add/remove in control panel and select them. The installer thinks you are trying to install enterprise on top of itself and thus the error.

Tim

Installing Oracle 9i Database and 9iAS on the same machine

I have read conflicting comments about this. Will Oracle 9i and 9iAS work if installed on the same server ?
I have seen a note before that the ORACLE_HOME will conflict if done.
However, for 8i it has been stated "the OAS does not seem to conflict with the Oracle 8i database, so select the default ORACLE_HOME to install".
Can you give me the diffinitive answer for 9i for this.
Many Thanks

Instal Oracle Portal for testing and learning purpose on 2 machines

I have two PCs. One is runing Windows XP, one Linux Fedora Core 4. I'd like to usem them for geting to know Oracle Portal. Linux as Aplication Server, Win as DB server.
I can't seem to find minimum HW requirements for Portal. Linux machine is 256MB RAM, Pentium II 350 MHz. As I said, it doesn't have to run fast. it just has to run for the beggining. Then I can decide whether to use it and think of the real configuration for business purposes.
Please advise.

RAM requirement for Infrastructure is 1GB - this included an Oracle 10G database for identity management. RAM requirement for Middle Tier (Portal and Wireless) is an additional 1GB.
Requirements to run both on one host is (according to Oracle) 1.5GB.
I have it all on a single host here (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9) with only 1GB ram (It's an Athlon 1.4) so there is some flexibility here. You may get away with the CPU, but I think you need a lot more RAM.
Your athlon Windows Machine could do it all. I have a working 10G Application Server on a 2GHz Pentium M laptop (2 GB RAM). If you don't start it up automatically every time the OS starts then you will have plenty of resources.
Since 10G AS also includes 10G DB then only one machine is all you would need.
Good luck
