10g Database install with NAS

hi,
how can i install and configure a 10g database on windows using Network Accessed Storage(NAS).
i need to store the db software, default tablespaces (system, sysaux etc.) on a server (with windows server 2003), and use the NAS to store data. i've done this using the traditional file structure for tablespaces, but i want to use the automated storage management(ASM) functionality as well.
i'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
thanks

Installing oracle 9i with 10g database installed , what do you suggest ?

hi guys,
i have just installed oracle 10g on my WINDOWS XP machine
Checked the registry , the
oracle base
and oracle home values are as following
oracle_base - c:\oracle\product\10.2.0
oracle_home - c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db1
the values are correct according to what the oracle documentation has said.
now i would like to install oracle 9i on my windows XP machine as well and i would like both the 9i and 10g database to have the same ORACLE_BASE, different HOMES as what the OFA is capabable of providing.
However, i cant adopt the naming practise of oracle_base in 10g, as , IF i set the oracle_base of 9i to
c:\oracle\product\9.2.0 - then i would have 2 different oracle_base which is wrong
1) c:\oracle\product\9.2.0
2) c:\oracle\product\10.2.0
SO i have to set the oracle_base of BOTH the DB to
1) c:\oracle\product
to have them both having the same ORACLE_BASE.
what do you guys suggest ? or is there any impact ?
or should i just stick to 2 different base and 2 different homes.
Thanks guys.

Set ORACLE_BASE to \oracle\product
Then set the individual homes at the db_1 level.

Oracle 10g Database conflicts with HTMLDB

Hai all,
I have encountered a strange conflict when I am trying to work out with Oracle 10g database and the famous HTML DB.
It is like this:
I have a 10g DB installed and an ASP application that works on this 10g instance via "Microsoft ODBC driver for oracle" perfectly.
Now I have downloaded and installed the 10g Companion CD and installed the HTML DB 1.5 along with the mandatory Apache web server. Good!! I could scrawl through the database using the HTML DB, creating applications, forms, items and etc fancy things without any issues.
The problem that I found was:
The ASP based application that used to work initially now is erroring out saying that "TNS could not resolve service name".
I thought that the Listener might be damaged or the ASP site was damaged or the Microsoft ODBC driver files were damaged and several other vauge guessings.
I have tested the issue in several ways (reinstalled oracle, the DB, the ASP Applicaton, re-configurin listener in a variety of ways) but every time installing BLINDLY the companion CD too. Nothing seem to work.
Then I recollected that the same issue I have encountered in the past with the installation of Oracle 8i and Developer 2000, where the TNS listener configured by the former damages the one configured by the later and vice-versa.
Basing on this past reminiscence, I finally stopped installing Companion CD over the Oracle installation and carried out the DB installation and the ASP based app. And everything worked fine.
CAN anybody tell me what is going wrong with these two oracle products(Oralce 10g DB and the HTML DB+Apache)?
WHY always the installation of a CLIENT SW (Developer, HTML DB etc) damages the connection with the database via ODBC drivers?
Many Thanks in advance.
Ravi

Dera Mr. Tyler,
Thanks for your reply...I have implemented the solution that you have given for the TNS Listener conflict and everything works fine...
Here I have one more thing thats not working as I thought. do kindly help me out.
My requirement is to show the list of available storage drives (say C:, d:, e: etc on windows) available on the database server. Let me eloborate my problem well....
i have a Java App that executes a specific SQL script to create a tablespace, a user and the required db objects that my applicaiton needs.
if the Java App runs on the same machine where the oracle instance is running, the Java app pops up a list of available drives on the machine, creates a directory for the tablespace datafiles on the drive selected from the above list box, then runs the script which creates the tablespace and the rest of the things.
But if i run the Java app from another machine on the network, then my BLIND java app is popping up the drives of the local machine but NOT those from the oracle server machine and creates the folder on the local machine but not on the Oracle server and obviously the rest of the phases (tablespace creation itself) are failing as the required folder is not found on the oracle server machine.
the work arounds that i am thinking are:
a) use java ->
get the IP of the oracle server machine ->
use some java api such as java.net, java.io etc ->
create the required folder on the server machine instead of the local machihe
ISSUE: Java network programming is too tough for me(excuse me for this..i am not too good!!)
b) use some oracle sql or pl/sql api s to do the same
ISSUE: not found one!!!!
c) create a java stored procedure/function to get the list of drives of the oracle server and return as a string variable. then call this proc from the Java app once connected to the database....
ISSUE: i have created the SO-CALLEd java func. no compilation or loading errors. but there is no o/p either. but the same code when i run as a java class is showing the desired o/p. here is the code piece...can you please help me out!!!
-------Java Stored Function------
import java.io.*;
public class HDDLister
     public static String listDrives()
          String rootsList = "Available Roots: ";
          try
               File[]roots = File.listRoots();
               for (int i=0;i<roots.length;i++)
                    rootsList += roots.toString();
                    rootsList += "#";
          catch(Exception ex)
               rootsList = ex.toString();
          return rootsList;
-------Command to publish the Funciton-------
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION HDDLISTER
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'HDDLister.listDrives() return java.lang.String';
and finally the point of the problem is, once we show the drives available on the server machine to the user and the user selects a drive, how to create a folder on the server machine???
Thousands of thanks in advance

Can I use existing 10g iAS install with Application Express?

I apologize if this has been addressed somewhere else, but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer yet.
I have a 10g DB installed on machine A, and have been following the instructions to install Application Express. Instead of installing another instance of HTTP_Server (from the companion CD) on machine A, I have machine B with a full 10g iAS install on it (discoverer, portal, infrastructure, etc). I would like to use machine B as the front end to access htmldb. Machine B has 2 oracle homes, one for the infrastructure and one for the BI tools/portal stuff. Which one do I configure for htmldb? From reading in this forum I think I can use the dads.conf file instead of the marvel.conf file (which doesn't exist) to add the pls/htmldb info, but I can't figure out which one to edit. I probably have something else wrong somewhere, but this would help narrow things down. Currently when I go to the following url http://machineb:7778/pls/htmldb I get "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable".
Thanks in advance for any help.
Rhonda

Sure, you can use the Application Server, no need to install another one.
You would add the configuration to the BI tools/portal stuff Oracle Home, not the infrastructure.
You don't need the marvel.conf explicitly (but this is installed per default when you install the http server from the 10g companion CD).
You could just add the DAD configuration to the dads.conf.
To make it a bit simpler I would do the following:
1) remove the entries for /pls/htmldb from your current dads.conf (if they exist).
2) follow the instructions here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_useoas10g.html
And use the following for the contents of the file marvel.conf (make sure to change it accordingly for your environment (changes to make are bold):
AddType text/xml xbl
AddType text/x-component htc
Alias /i/ /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db/htmldb/images/

10G Database install on Linux 64bit File system Vs. Automatic Storage

Hi,
I'm installing Oracle 10G on a Dell 2950 server with an Intel 64 bit processor. The operating system is Red Hat Linux 4. It has a hardware RAID.
I've downloaded the Install Guide but I have a question about installing.
I'm confused about the File system vs. Automatic Storage management option. I will be installing on the local system, I will not be using a NAS or SAN.
Under Database Storage Options, the guide says that "Oracle recommends that the file system you choose be separate from the file systems used by the operating system or the Oracle software.".
1. Do I need to do that since I'm already using hardware RAID??
2. Which way is recommended / what do most people do: File system or Automatic Storage managment??
3. For Automatic Storage Management I read that I'd have to create an ASM Disk group that can consist of "a multiple disk device such as a RAID storage array or logical volume. However, in most cases disk groups consist of one or more individual physical disks". Do I need to reconfigure my partitions ??
I just need some input on what I should do since this is my first time installing Oracle on Linux.
Thank you.

Update database installed with 9iAS Infrastructure?

Hi!
I'm about to install BIBeans on this system, which has Oracle 9i Database (9.2.0.4), 9iAS Infrastructure (9.0.2.3) and 9i Mid-Tier (9.0.2.3)... In the readme for the bibdemo schema, it says this: "Install (and upgrade, if you have an existing installation) the Oracle9i database. You must also install the required patchsets to get your database to version 9.2.0.3 or higher. Installation of the demo database schema will fail if the correct patchsets are not installed."
I previously patched the 9i Database instance up to 9.2.0.4, but I was under the impression that Infrastructure installed its own copy of the database... Is that correct? If so, do I also have to update the IASDB? I had a look at the readme for the 9.2.0.4 DB patch, and it looked like that could only be applied to the 9i Database Server...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Even I am having the same problem.

MULTIPLE USERS 10G RAC ORACLE_HOME INSTALL WITH ASM/CRS

Hi,
We need to install multiple 10g RAC databases on a two node Sun servers. Below is our configuration:
1) Sun Solaris (ver 10) with Sun Cluster 3.2
2) One ASM/CRS install (by 1 OS account)
3) Four ORACLE_HOME 10g database install (by 4 different OS user accounts)
We would like to use one ASM instance for all four databases with appropriate privileges.
OS User:           OS Group
========      =========
oraasm           dbaasm - (ASM and CRS install owner)
ora1           dbaora1 - first db owner
ora2           dbaora2 - second db owner
ora3           dbaora3 - third db owner
ora4           dbaora4 - fourth db owner
I understand that certain privileges need to be shared between ASM/CRS and DB owners. Please let me know the steps to be followed to complete this install.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Please read that: Documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10766_08/intro.htm
- You can install and operate multiple Oracle homes and different versions of Oracle cluster database software on the same computer as described in the following points:
-You can install multiple Oracle Database 10g RAC homes on the same node. The multiple homes feature enables you to install one or more releases on the same machine in multiple Oracle home directories. However, each node can have only one CRS home.
-In addition, you cannot install Oracle Database 10g RAC into an existing single-instance Oracle home. If you have an Oracle home for Oracle Database 10g, then use a different Oracle home, and one that is available across the entire cluster for your new installation. Similarly, if you have an Oracle home for an earlier Oracle cluster database software release, then you must also use a different home for the new installation.
If the OUI detects an earlier version of a database, then the OUI asks you about your upgrade preferences. You have the option to upgrade one of the previous-version databases with DBUA or to create a new database using DBCA. The information collected during this dialog is passed to DBUA or DBCA after the software is installed.
- You can use the OUI to complete some of the de-install and re-install steps for Oracle Database 10g Real Application Clusters if needed.
Note:
Do not move Oracle binaries from one Oracle home to another because this causes dynamic link failures.
. If you are using ASM with Oracle database instances from multiple database homes on the same node, then Oracle recommends that you run the ASM instance from an Oracle home that is distinct from the database homes. In addition, the ASM home should be installed on every cluster node. This prevents the accidental removal of ASM instances that are in use by databases from other homes during the de-installation of a database's Oracle home.

OC4J installed with 11g Database

We are migrating our database and applications to 11g database and imbeded Application Express. Our current configuration is 10g database and JSPs running under the OC4J installed with the database. Our develoment server is running Windows XP and currently has 11g database 11.1.0.6.0 installed, and the Application Express configured and running properly.
In order to provide a smooth transiition from OC4J to Application Express, we would like to continue to run some applications under the OC4J installed with the 11g database, and the converted applications in Application Express, all on the same server and same 11g database installation.
I have started the OC4J processes on the development server with the script:
cd \Oracle\Ora11g\Ora11gDB\oc4j\j2ee\home
java -jar oc4j.jar
and the system responds with:
09/01/08 10:53:29 Oracle Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.3.0.0) initialized
However, when I try to bring up the console from a browser using:
http://192.168.0.200:8888
I get a the message that the page cannot be displayed.
I understand the 11g OC4J standalone has been discontinued, however it looks like the 11g version I have installed is using the OC4J 10.1.3.0.0.
So is the OC4J installed with 11g not functional, or am I missing a step in the startup/configuration, or URL call.
Thanks,
Rod

Thanks for the replay Michael,
Actually, on the development server I only have the 11g database installed with Application Express configured. The Apex runs on port 8080 and I see that in the netstat -ab listing, but I do not see port 8888 referenced anywhere. All the config files for the OC4J are standard from the db install. The port listed in the http-web-site.xml still shows 8888.
Is it possible that the OC4J is not completing it's startup?
The server.log, and the system-applicaiton.log both show entries indicating it has started, and the global-application.log shows it is started, however the defaultWebApp is not currently started. Here is the complete contents of that file:
09/01/08 10:21:34.640 10.1.3.0.0 Started
09/01/08 10:21:35.937 defaultWebApp: 10.1.3.0.0 Started

Oracle 10G Database Control and Scheduling OWB Process Flow

Does anyone know how to go about scheduling an OWB Process Flow from
Oracle 10G Data Base Control. I knew how to do this with Oracle Enterprise Manager 9.2 but we recently upgraded to Oracle Db 10G and the interface has changed significantly.
Now the interface seems to require a PL/SQL stored procedure to be executed.
Is there a template procedure that is installed with 10G Data Base Control as there was for 9.2 i.e. oem_exec_template.sql?
Thanks! Deadline approaching fast...
Marion

I've used the oem_exec_template.sql successfully with OWB 10.1 and Oracle 10G Database Control, with a little trial and error at first.
I'm assuming that your job execution environment is set up correctly, ie. that you can properly execute jobs via the host agent.
1. Log on to Database Control as SYSTEM, select Jobs from the links at the bottom of the page
2. In the Results section, Create Job, select "SQL Script" and press Go
3. In the General section, enter Job Name, and as SQL Script enter e.g.:
@/u01/app/oracle/owb_oracle_home/owb/rtp/sql/oem_exec_template.sql owb_runtime WF_LOC PROCESS MY_PROCESS , ,
4. In the Databases section, add your target database
5. In the Credentials section, I select "Override Preferred Credentials" and use the agent account (oracle on my Linux system) and db user owb_access (OWB Runtime Access user)
6. Review Schedule tab and submit
Comments on step 3:
- the oem_exec_template.sql script must be installed according to the path specified in step 3, on the database host where the OWB Runtime Repository is located
- owb_runtime is the owner of my OWB Runtime Repository
- WF_LOC is the name of my Workflow Location as seen in OWB Deployment Manager
- MY_PROCESS is the name of a deployed Workflow Process
- the commas indicate that I don't supply any system or custom parameters.
- step 3 is actually a shell command line that is interpreted by eg. /bin/sh on Unix or cmd on Windows, and must obey proper quoting rules. On windows, I had to specify the empty commas as "\," (including dblquotes)

Cloning a 10G database

I have a database we created on Windows 2003 Server Oracle 10.2.0.3.
I want to create a clone or copy this instance to another server with the same sid name if possible. What is the best way to do this? I have a full backup of the source database using RMAN. I understand there is a way to clone the database using the DBCU. I would like to avoid having to go through all the steps I went through creating the existing 10G database: install, patch, create database, tablespsaces, accounts, roles, import data, tune/configure.
I assume I will have to install the 10G product and patch to 10.2.0.3 but that's not an iusse. Once I have the 10.2 product installed on the new host server what is the best way to copy my existing 10G database over to that new host??

Is it possible to use a full system backup of the server using a backup created by the WIndows OS and restore this backup to the new server assuming the OS is the same? May have to make network setting adjustments but this may be the easiest solutions and I remeber some shops create clone database servers this way.

How to install 10g database on windows with db block size 16k

Hi,
Can somone help me install oracle 10g database on windows xp with db block size as 16k.
i need this database, because it is one of the recommendations for insalling OWB(Oracle Warehouse Builder).
Thanks,
Philip.

1) In Initialization parameter pile
DB_BLOCK_SIZE=8192/16K - One way
2) The other way once you install Oracle 10 G then at the time when you are creating database with Database Configuration Assistant you can modify the block size by the[b] Initialization parameter screen.
- Sizing Tab
Block Size 8K/16K
*** Remember by default Oracle 10 G uses 8K block size.
You use the options on the Sizing tab to configure the block size of your database
and the number of processes that can connect to this database. The Block Size setting corresponds to the smallest unit of storage within the Oracle database. All storage of database objects (tables, indexes, and so on) are governed by the block size. The block size defaults to 8KB, but you can modify it. Once the database is created, you cannot modify this setting.
The maximum and minimum size of an Oracle block depends on the operating system. Generally, 8KB is sufficient for most transaction-oriented applications, and larger block sizes such as 16KB and higher are used in data warehousetype applications.
The Processes setting specifies the maximum number of simultaneous operating system processes that can be connected to this Oracle database. You must include at least six processes for each of the Oracle background processes. You can increase this number on the Initialization parameter screen.

CONNECTING ORACLE 9I OR 10G DATABASE WITH ORACLE 10G FORMS AND REPORTS

pls tell how to connect oracle 9i or 10g database with oracle developer suite 10g . though the forms are getting connected but not running with error as
FRM-10142 the HTTP listner is not running on pls start the listner or check your runtime preferences.
now pls tell how to start listner and how to chage runtime preferences.
though i have worked with oracle 9i and forms 6i where we used to copy the tnsnames.ora from network/admin of oracle to forms 6i tnsnames.ora.
thank you, you may be thinking such a long question.....

sir
By server i mean the computer where oc4j and backend database are running is one one of the client pc not a dedicated server..., these database and 10g dev suite are installed in one of the client machine,
all the clients are using same internet explorer as browser.
no message is being displyed on some of the client machine where these forms are not being uploaded on browser instead it displays as done in status bar without actually showing anything at all...
sir so far as jinitiator or JRE is concered i have seen on the client machine (where my forms are running on internet explorer) a pop up is displyed telling one activex control is required to run this program and click to install it..
after clicking it download jinitiator from server and after installing jinitiator my forms are loaded and start functioning...
what i feel is as i said this machine where oc4j and database is running is one of the client machine so some other clients do not have acess to this machine, so this might be the reason why those clints are not able to run the said forms on the internet explorer.... can it be so... kindly tell..
thank you for your patience for reading the question

Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

You didn't specify which Oracle10 Edition.
In the case of SE/SE one/EE, with a paid license Supported has a mean impact on production environments with paid licenses, since you wouldn't run on an unsupported platform facing the risk of being left without technical support from Oracle in case of an emerging issue.
For the XE Edition, this is not a certified combination, since the only certified editions are the Business, Enterprise, and the Ultimate editions, but you can try it, you don't have nothing to loose, supported, certified vs. unsupported in this case makes no difference since this XE is not supported either way (no patchsets, no bug fixes, no technical support from metalink), just an AS IS free software.
On the license agreement terms displayed when you download the XE software it states:
"No Technical Support
Our technical support organization will not provide technical support, phone support, or updates to you for the programs licensed under this agreement."
and
"THE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE."
In case someone would be able to win a trial against oracle due to damage from the use of this software, the amount paid at maximum is 1,000.00 USD, not enough to even pay the lawyer's lunches.
For the XE users the primary source of 'kind of support' is the oracle forums, either the installation forum, the general database or the specialized XE forum.
Of course if this is for your own personal use for learning and testing and there are no third parties you could damage by doing this and if you don't have a paid license for this installation you may try it, but don't expect the Enterprise Manager to behave as defined by the manual, most of it won't work since the Home Edition doesn't have the privileges required for EM to work.
If this is your personal computer and when you bought it the computer provider installed from factory Home Edition, and if you want something to work there, you can try to install a Virtual Machine and install Oracle 10g on a supported guest OS.

11g database compatible with 10g ASM?

Hi all,
I have one server with Oracle 10g database and ASM installed. Now I need to install a new database on 11g version. Know you if my new 11g database can use the 10g ASM? Or I need to create a new ASM in 11g too?
Thanks in advance,
Jordi

PLease look at the following link. The 11g Database is indeed going to work with 10g asm but the features available will vary depending on the version compatibility.
