Localization support on Oracle products: Arabic/Urdu

We need to work solution to enable both the database and front-end
applications with Urdu characters. So, that the tables can store urdu
character data and form can display and input urdu data, while reports
can show urdu data.
I was thinking, some of the people did this. Tell me even if anyone has
done this with Arabic characters. There are several available for
Arabic, i believe it should cover all urdu characters. Has anyone worked
on Locale Builder ?
I want to build a Dictionary of English/Urdu.

We run Oracle databases and application servers without any problems.
In the licencing documentations zones are explictly mentioned as capped zones are supported to partition a system.
So if you have an eight-core maschine but give the zone only one, you have only to licence this core.
Have a look at this document
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/partitioning-070609.pdf
As said before if your software does not need low level access to the hardware or the kernel (as eg. a backup server or a nfs server) it should run fine into a zone.

EJB support in Oracle products

I'm curious. Since current Oracle products only support session
beans and not entity beans, what can be done with just the
session beans? I would love to be able to get the full
utilization of EJB, but would have to acquire "a whole nother"
server (like WebLogic) for that. I understand that the next
releases of Oracle products (such as JDeveloper 3) will have
full support for entity beans, but what am I to do until then?
Would it be wise to develop session beans that directly access
databases instead of the entity beans? It doesn't make much
sense to me.
Thanks,

Hi
JDeveloper 2.0 (which is in Producition) allows you to create
either session or entity beans (EJB) from the EJB Wizard. But
there is no deployment support yet. The next release of Oracle8i
will have support for Entity beans.

Solaris Container Support for Oracle Products

Hi,
Is there a special list about which Oracle products support Solaris Containers? Or can I assume that all products support the container technology?
I cant find any related information on this...

OWL support in Oracle products

I have an OWL ontology(fully validated and created using Protege) that I would like to store into Oracle Spatial RDF.
Does Oracle support this capability? If so, what are procedures, is there documentation that describes the procedures and the capability, and what version of Oracle support this capability (OWL)?
Thank you in advance.

I have used correct unicode. i tested in pluto portal server. when i deployed in oracleAS,
for english not a problem. for arabic it is showing as '????'.
i have used this code to get arabic in pluto. same code i used. i am getting error.
<c:set target="${pageContext.response}" property="characterEncoding" value="UTF-8" />
<fmt:setLocale value="ar" />
<fmt:requestEncoding value="UTF-8" />
i know it is not setting charector encoding.
i tried some other too like:

</head>
and
<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
No improvement. please help me out of this.
how can i get arabic support in oracle AS by using jstl?
Thanks,

Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

In addition to Joe's questions regarding if you don't know the answer, then how do you know you want the job .......
Regarding job titles:
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
(Lewis Carroll - Through the Looking Glass)
And so it is with job titles. Any given job title means only and exactly what the organization chooses it to mean -- "neither more nor less".
Even though we work in a technical industry, not every term you see has a universal, fixed, immutable, technical meaning. Not even close.
My first two jobs in IT were in shops that had exactly the same set of job titles for Programmers --
- Programmer/Analyst I
- Programmer/Analyst II
- Programmer/Analyst III
In one shop, the Programmer/Analyst III was the most junior of the three.
In the other, the Programmer/Analyst III was the most senior of the three.
So, you tell me, what is a "Programmer/Analyst III"? What is a "development DBA"? What is a "production support DBA"?

Oracle product not supported on Vmware virtual environment

Members,
Oracle certification says Oracle products running on Vmware virtual environment are not supported.
One of my development Identity manager setup is running on Vmware virtual environment.
As of now application is running fine and I am getting support from Oracle on product issues.
Can anyone suggest what could be the impact of this in future and what types of issues I can expect in future.
Thanks,
S M

Could you verify this behaviour outside a VMware virtual machine?
If yes, then please open an SR on Metalink to let support diagnose.
Provide an RDA, AWR snapshot if you have licensed the Diagnistic Pack - if not than provide STATSPACK snapshots.
Sorry - but this is a database upgrade forum :-)

Mike

Finding Oracle product end of support info.

Hi,
Is there a place on this site where I can find information about how long Oracle products (specifically Oracle 8i) will be supported? I know that for 8i the end of support is probably a long way off, but this information is important so that I can create a roadmap for database upgrades.
Thanks,
Bennett

Desupport notices can ba accessed through Metallink. BTW Desupport of 8.17 is:
Desupport End Dates:
Error Correction Support (ECS): 31-DEC-2003
Extended Support (ES): 31-DEC-2006
Extended Maintenance Support (EMS): 31-DEC-2005

Where can I get a list of all Oracle products available in the Cloud?

All Oracle Products available in the Cloud can be viewed here
Applications can be accessed under dedicated "Knowledge Zones" where you can have insightful information about the product, how to develop, implement, market and sell the solutions. Also, under "Join the discussion" tab, you can engage with Oracle and follow the discussion on dedicated social media channels.

LOL what a useless doc. Maybe https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=612452503286937&id=1337394.1&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-…
is a bit better, but good luck trying to be Itanium specific.
Edit: Well, so much for trying to paste in an MOS doc link. It's called 10.2.0.5 Patch Set Updates - List of Fixes in each PSU [ID 1337394.1]

Details on TAF support in Oracle AS 10g

Hi experts,
I'm currently writing a Master's Thesis on High Availability of Applications based on Suns JEE platform.
With Oracle being one of the big players in this market I'm going to investigate the features of the Oracle product stack and compare it with other solutions including opensource.
At the moment I'm looking for details on TAF-support in Oracle AS 10g. Lets assume one has installed the latest release of the Oracle 10g database in a RAC configuration on two or more physical nodes to store the applications data. Lets further assume one has set up the latest release of the Oracle AS 10g on different hosts building an AS farm with clustered OC4J-instances. Now one would like to connect a JEE application running within these OC4J-instances to the RAC database.
Therefore one can configure an OC4J datasource to use a service definition supporting network failover and transparent application failover (TAF) specified in the tnsnames.ora on the AS hosts or directly describe the service in the data-sources.xml. To my knowledge only datasources configured to use the OCI client can be used with TAF. Everything right so far?
Now the interesting part. The best what TAF can do is automatically reconnect to the next known database node if its current node is not reachable or fails, and continue processing an open cursor for select so that the application can continue to use its current connection.
If the application is running a database transaction it can only be rolled back and rerun after failover.
In a good old plain Java application one had to implement the OracleOCIFailover interface and register a callback with the db connection in order to receive failover events. Therefore you need to process the query in a different thread.
In a JEE server only the container should be responsible for creating threads, or? How does the Oracle AS support TAF? How can a user application get notice of a failover and react appropriately. Is the behaviour always the same no matter one decides to implement the data access via simple DAOs or entity beans (CMP/BMP)? I assume it is safe to use a connection pool and container will take care of the necessary cleanup jobs, right? Will the complete connection pool be reconstructed or only connections to the failed node?
Does the application server internally use these OCI callbacks and wrap them up into special Exceptions? Is there anything an application programmer has to do in order to make his data access code ready for TAF, especially in case of failover while the db is processing transactional code?
Any insights and/or code snippets would be greatly appreciated!
Ah, one last question. From a HA perspective is it generally a bad idea to put application logic into the database (use CDM RuleFrame and so on) as there is no support in preserving package states or do you think this makes no difference as one has always to repeat everything since the last commit point no matter in which tier the code resides?
During the next days Im going to set up the above environment for testing. A 10.0.2.1 RAC on RHE4 is already up and running fine. AS 10.1.3.0.0 on RHE4 is following today or tomorrow.
Many thanks for all answers!
Regards,
Eric

Hi,
well, I thought I could dig into the OC4J documentation before installing the server. After reading the OC4J Service Guide for 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 I'm a little bit confused.
First I read the 10.1.2 Service Guide and almost everything seemed to be clear. I found a lot of answers to the questions above. I'd like to sum them up. Please correct me if I got something wrong!
- TAF only works on top of OCI driver
- TAF can be used with connection pooling
- OC4J takes care of connection pool cleanup (OC4J and OCI Pool)
These two pools are mentioned. It's not clear to me how they work together. Do one of you know some source where I can get more information about this?
- after a failover all connections in the pool are checked by OC4J and only alive ones will survive
- in case of a failover TAF issues an exception
- the application has to catch this exception and acknowledge with a rollback, after that the transaction can be restarted (this seems to be the responsibility of the applications code, oc4j will not replay something automatically; If I got it right, CMP entity beans will be an exception to this rule - there OC4J will proceed transparently...)
- the application can use OCI callbacks to customize the failover behavior (well I would like to see some source code example here, as I can't imagine how this could look like)
After that I read the 10.1.3 service guide. The section about datasources in conjunction with HA is much shorter. Besides TAF new? mechanism is introduced, namely Fast Connection Failover (FCF). There is not much information about it but references to the JDBC Guide, because FCF is a feature of the implicit JDBC connection cache. Where cache seems to be just another word for pool.
By the way, the example on p. 4-36 looks wrong at first glance. Enabling FCF and setting:
<property name="fastConnectionFailoverEnabled" value="false"/> ???
Seems to be a typo in the docu, or?
I got the impression, that the text is written as if FCF being TAF's successor, without explicitly saying this. Is this right?
So I proceeded reading the JDBC Developer Guide to lean more about FCF. Here is what I learned:
- since 10g available
- FCF is driver independend (you can also use the thin driver)
- prerequisites are implicit connection cache (pool) enabled, ONS must be configured
- in case of a failover the transcation will be rolled back automatically (not by the application); whereas using TAF you have to use a rollback to acknowledge the error
- only one exception ORA-17008 to catch
- application has to obtain a new connection from the cache (pool), where as using TAF the old connection object can be used, and resend the transaction (same as with TAF)
So when to use what? The comparison on p. 27-8 was not very helpful to find an answer to this question.
On p. 28-1 one can read that TAF does not work with the OCI Connection Pool. That's seems to be contradictory to the statement in Service Guide of 10.1.2 that OC4J takes care of both pools (OC4J and OCI). Or has something changed in 10.1.3 in that regard? May be this is because of the changes in Cache or Pool Management?
What is the advantage of using TAF within OC4J in 10g, if there is any?
What about select statements with FCF? You can only read about transactions. I'd assume the application would get the same exception executing a query (ORA-17008) as executing a transaction, right? So TAF should have the advantage of transparently proceeding selects after a failover. Am I right?
I'd love to see more examples and comparisons of TAF and FCF.

Eric

Memory hot plug supported in Oracle linux 6.0 ?

hi,
I am testing Oracle Linux 6.0 on a vm, I tried to hot add memory, but i noticed that the respective modules like acpiphp and acpi_memhotplug not present.
Also i got the below information from the site, http://blogs.oracle.com/wim/2010/10/playing_with_sr_iov_in_oracle.html
"----------To enable pci hotplug in the guest, please do the following :
in the guest you have to load both pciehp and acpiphp
you can do this easily by doing :
**echo "modprobe pciehp" >> /etc/rc.modules
echo "modprobe acpiphp" >> /etc/rc.modules
chmod 755 /etc/rc.modules**
note - this is for testing purposes only. We do not currently have official support in the product for this.--------".
I tried doing the above mentioned procedure, then also the mem-hot plug is not working.
So I feel mem-hot plug is not supported.
Can any oone confirm me about this.

Oracle Product Workbench - connection issue with EBS 12.1.3

Hi,
we've upgraded EBS to 12.1.3 and our Product Workbench is no longer able to retrieve the organization info from the server. We're checking the Packet details in Network Statistics in that case an also when View Concurrent Requests is opened and the server sends back the login page. So apparently PWB cannot log in to the server and is requested to enter credentials.
Apache response is:

To sum up: errText=You+have+insufficient+privileges+for+the+current+operation.
If we log in to the old EBS to 12.1.1 with the same browser and same settings, we don't have that issue.
Any idea of what that can be?
Thanks. Raúl.

The issue was a "_" char in the hostname.This must be changed as is not IETF-compliant and therefore not a supported character and is known to cause problems.

NLS SUPPORT FOR ORACLE 8I

I am trying to use the NLS support of Oracle 8i on windows
Nt/2000 platforms. I have tried configuring the database
characterset and the national character set as 'IN8ISCII' - the
one prescribed in the NLS documentation for India territory and
Hindi as NLS Language and territory parameters. I have also
tried configuring them as 'UTF8' a character set prescribed for
unicode /universal 8 bits ASCII character sets but i am not able
to insert any rows with these charactersets in NCHAR or NVARCHAR
columns. if i try to insert them in regualr char pr varchar
columns i can insert in the ascii formats and I have to retreive
them on front end through different mask format fonts.
If any one have tried the NLS support pls let me know how to
insert the records and retreive thenm in the national language..
Thanks in advance..

Reporting bugs in oracle products

Is there a webpage whre I can report bugs in oracle
products.
Thanks,
Artur...

The only place I'm aware of short of calling Oracle is metalink.oracle.com but you have to have paid for Oracle support to access
the web site. From there you can file a TAR(Technical Assistance Request) and a support person will research your problem and
either find an existing fix or classify it as a new bug.
