Problem Oracle 10g database Installation on Windows 2003 Server

Hi All,
I am trying to face some problem to install oracle 10g database on windows 2003 server with service pack 2. Once I start to installation it give me an error "Error in writing to directory 'c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\orainstall2004xxx'. Please ensure that this directory is writable and has at least 45MB of disk space. Installation cannot continue"
I double-insured that there is enough disk-space and I am also in the Administrators-Group.
Please guide me for the above problem although I have done oracle 9i database installation with the same configuration.

Migration from Oracle 9i 32 bit to Oracle 10G 64 bit on Windows 2003 Server

I am working on migrating Oracle 9i 32 bit to Oracle 10G 64 bit on Windows 2003 from Old server to new server. We have db around 500 GB and 3 schemas. I installed Oracle 10G on new server, created tablespaces, schema's blah blah and now doing export and import at schema level from old server to new server.
Import is taking more than 4 to 5 hours on new server. My manager is saying, window time is bit longer and he wants me to try possiblities to make this process faster. Can some one help me on this, to use the best possible method to complete this process faster?
Will below step work, if I try?
If I install, oracle 9i and 10g both on new server in different home directories and take the hot backup from old machine and restore on new machine in 9i home directory and use the upgrade configuration assistant from 10g and do the upgrade? Pls advice.
Thanks in advance,
Hari babu

It looks good.
I have one question in below steps:
To migrate an Oracle9i or older database to an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 64-bit Windows:
1 Perform steps 1 - 11 in "Migrating an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) Database".
2 Shut down the database on the 64-bit computer:
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
3 Start the database migration:
SQL> STARTUP MIGRATE;
4 Migrate the database as described in Chapter 3, "Upgrading a Database to the New Oracle Database 10g Release" in Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.
In step 4, it says, migrate database as described in chapter 3. In chapter 3, it says, to do the upgrade the process using dbca or manually. Pls confirm whether do the upgrade process after issuing startup migrate or not.
Thanks in advance.

How do I rename an XE database on a Windows 2003 Server?

Ok. I'm attempting to rename a freshly installed XE database on a Windows 2003 Server. It looks like there is no getting around the fact that the database gets named "XE" during installation. Because there could potentially be multiple installations of XE in my organization, I thought it'd be a good idea to disambiguate the installations by renaming them to match their function. In this particular case, I'd like to rename the database to "CTXMGMT". It will be a data repository for our Citrix farm administration programs.
Here is what I've performed thus far:
1. Installed Oracle 10g XE on one of our Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition machines.
2. Verified that the installation was performed correctly by making sure the 'Database Home Page' loads correctly through Internet Explorer, and by performing a few Select statements on the database (i.e. select name from v$database;)
* * I then began following instructions from this document (http://www.utexas.edu/its/unix/reference/oracledocs/v92/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch14.htm#1004735) to rename the database. Note: I'm only trying to change the name of the database, not the ID.
3. Shutdown the database
4. Opened the database in MOUNT mode
5. Ran the NID utility. Here's the actual input/output to/from the NID utility:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>nid target=sys/manager@xe DBNAME=CTXMGMT SETNAME=YES
DBNEWID: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Jul 10 15:55:10 2006
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to database XE (DBID=2476560070)
Connected to server version 10.2.0
Control Files in database:
C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF
Change database name of database XE to CTXMGMT? (Y/[N]) => Y
Proceeding with operation
Changing database name from XE to CTXMGMT
Control File C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF - modified
Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\SYSTEM.DBF - wrote new name
Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\UNDO.DBF - wrote new name
Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\SYSAUX.DBF - wrote new name
Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\USERS.DBF - wrote new name
Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP.DBF - wrote new name
Control File C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF - wrote new name
Instance shut down
Database name changed to CTXMGMT.
Modify parameter file and generate a new password file before restarting.
Succesfully changed database name.
DBNEWID - Completed succesfully.
6. After running the NID utility from a separate DOS Window, I attempt to shutdown the newly renamed database from the first DOS Window I used in steps 3 & 4 from above (i.e. to shutdown the database and then start it in MOUNT mode) but I receive this error:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
This is somewhat expected since the SQL*Plus connection in this window probably had "the bottom pulled out from under it" when the database was renamed.
However at this point I'm unsure about what state the database is in. Is it down? Is it up? Logic would sort of dictate that the database was left in the MOUNT state, which is the state it was in when the database name was changed. However, the only way I'm able to get back in to the database is by doing the following
a. Opened a new DOS window
b. entered "set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server"
c. entered "set ORACLE_SID=XE"
d. entered " sqlplus "/ as sysdba" "
e. at SQL> prompt, entered "startup"... which produces:
SQL> startup;
ORACLE instance started.

Database Buffers 188743680 bytes
Redo Buffers 2904064 bytes
ORA-01103: database name 'CTXMGMT' in control file is not 'XE'
SQL>
From here I don't know what to do. According to the ORA-01103 error message, it looks like I need to change the database name in the control file to "CTXMGMT", but I'm not sure how I should go about that. The control file is a binary file, so I can't just open it up with Notepad and type in a new database name.
I suspect that even once that is done that the listener.ora (and maybe the tnsnames.ora file?) will have to be edited to include the new "CTXMGMT" name, but I'm not sure how exactly those files should look to incorporate the new database name.
Also, would the names of services have to be changed in Windows as well? (i.e. Would the Windows service named "OracleServiceXE" have to be renamed to "OracleServiceCTXMGMT" ?)
In short, I really just need to know how to rename an XE database on Windows appropriately. The steps described above represent as far as I've gotten. If I'm going about it incorrectly could someone shed some light on the correct steps to follow? The more detailed the better. Thanks.
- Gary

Okay, I've....
1) Reinstalled XE, to start from scratch
2) Went in to SQL*Plus, did a "create pfile from spfile;"
3) Shutdown the database
4) Started it up in MOUNT mode
5) Ran NID, to change the database name from 'XE' to 'CTXMGMT'
6) Shutdown the database again
7) Edited the pfile to change the database name (i.e. "db_name='CTXMGMT'")
8) Started up the database
And that worked! So that's good... but now my question is:
How do I change the SID for the database? Currently, the instance name for the database is still 'XE'....
SQL> select instance_name
2 from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
xe
I'd like it so a connection could be made to the database with the tnsnames.ora file looking like this:
CTXMGMT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = rodin)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = CTXMGMT))
Could someone explain how to get the database to this state? Thanks.

Anyone running UPK 3.5 (Server) on Windows 2003-64 bit?

I am trying to install UPK 3.5 Server on Windows 2003-64 bit, with the Oracle 11g client, connecting to an 11.1.0.7 Oracle database that's on a remote server. The installation is failing with a connectivity error that I suspect is related to the 64-bit configuration. But before I throw in the towel and revert to Windows 2003-32 bit, I thought I'd see if anyone out there is successfully using the 64-bit version who can help me out.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Janene

Ok, So I am finally able to install UPK 3.5.1 on Windows 2008 Server 64 bit.
My database sit on linux machine which is OEL 5 64 bit.
Now , I am facing different issues :( .. like windows authntication and user privilges even though the user i am using in installer has SYSDBA privilges still it doesnt take it
installation guide is pathetic .. sorry to say ..
my solution was this ..
The development team has gotten back to me. They have requested stated the following:
"This error is an Oracle message. We have addressed this particular error a few times. The error message indicates that our installer is not finding an Oracle ODBC driver to use to make the connection. The installer looks in the registry for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers key to find any with "Oracle" in the name to try connecting with. Please get a screenshot of this registry key."
If the registry is empty, please attach the screenshot and navigate to: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html.
Unzip the 32 bit into C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_1_X32 folder. You have to unzip both the instantclient-basic-win32-11.1.0.6.0.zip and instantclient-odbc-win32-11.1.0.6.0.zip.
After unzipping, run the odbc_install.exe this will install and register the driver for the 32 bit into the (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers).
thanks guys .. please always share ur solutions..

I go to the DOS console and type:

I did this right after I restarted my computer.
When I use the Enterprise Manager at:
http://localhost:5500/em/
I get for ORCL:
Status: Status Pending
Status Pending Since: Unavailable
Seems that I can never get the database started properly?! When I press the Startup/Shutdown button I get:
Current Status: open
This is the correct current database status, although it doesnot match the current status in the sitemap page
What does this mean? Do you think this may contain the clue to the answer to this problem?
When I restart the Database I get the same status: unavailable.
I need your help to resolve this problem. The alternative is to revert back to Oracle 9i DB Server. Thank you in advance.

I can help you with the SCOTT account being locked. Try:
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
alter user scott identified by tiger account unlock;

Identity Server under Windows 2003

Hi All,
can I run Identity server under Windows 2003 Server ? And, is planed Identity server version for Linux ?
Thank You
Lada D.

A 4.0.1 backup can be restored on the new server - even if it is running 4.1 or 4.2. I don't believe the backup will carry over anything specific to the old server's IP address. I'd recommend that you keep the same hostname (DNS-wise) - especially for things like the server's SSL certificate - although that too won't be part of the application backup so you can give the new server a new name if the customer is strongly set on that.
Note that you may change to soft appliance platform at this point. If the customer has a VMWare environment available, I'd strongly suggest considering this option. the soft appliance is a breeze to install and setup.
In either case, please refer to the installation guide for details.

Oracle 9i R1 application server With Windows 2003 server

Hi all,
I am Getting error (Web Forms can install only Windows NT/2000) When installing Oracle 9i R1 application server in Windows 2003 SP1.
is any specific setting or workarounds available to install in Windows 2003 Server?.
Abk

setup.exe -ignore sysprereqs this may work because it will detect that you dont have the appropiated OS, but it will ignore under your responsability and keep installing.
Also you may try to modify the oraparam.ini in the install folder, and add some lines for the Windows version that you have, but this is more difficult, because you should use the exact name of the Version in order to pass this check.
Regards.

Oracle 10g Database Server or Oracle 10g Application Server

Greetings and Salutations!
I need to install APEX 3.01 for development purposes and I'm wondering if I need to do an Oracle 10g Database Server installation, an Oracle 10g Application Server installation, and then the APEX 3.01 installation, or is there another way such as an Oracle 10g Application Server installation and then the APEX 3.01 installation.
I'm confused and I need advice.
Thanks,
Charles

Apex software runs inside the database using the database's PL/SQL engine.
Apex software is accessed via HTTP requests that may be sent to an HTTP server as included on the database 'companion CD' or in the Application Server.
Apex installation is described in the APEX install manual at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html

Installation of Oracle 10g und 9i Database on one Windows 2003 Srv System

Hello,
I would like to install Oracle 9i and 10g database on the same server.
OS is Windows 2003 Server default.
I already read that i must do some adjustments (regarding ORACLE_HOME / SIDs ..)
anyone here who knows something about this ?
Thank you
Philip

Yep.
Install 9i and when it asks for a port to install the listener pick something other than 1521. (1522 should work).
Then the Oracle 10g installation should go without a hitch.

hi,
As suggested earlier , please go through following notes as it will help you understand the concepts clearly
Note:342080.1. This note talks in detail on how to use more than 4GB RAM on Windows.
Note:225349.1 Implementing Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) or VLM on Windows Platforms
You can not set SGA_TARGET greater then 2.7 G on windows 32 bit machine. Yes , you can have SGA greater then 3 Gb but by using AWE which requires to unset SGA_TARGET and use db_block_buffers instead of db_cache_size.

Oracle 10G slow Performance on Windows 2003 Server

Hi there,
Looking for a little assistance in locating a bottleneck that's started to hit our system this week. It's really odd because it's been starting around 10am every morning this week.
today is the worst that I've seen it because it's almost brought the system to a halt.....
We're running Oracle 10.2.0.1 64b on Windows 2003 Server 64
The server has 16 processors and 64GB of RAM currently the CPU is sitting at 5% and the RAM usage is at 16.4GB
It's a blade server with a SAN backend and I'm assuming the latency is coming from the disk but I need to determine this for a fact.
I've only been a DBA for about a year and I'm stilling learing how to locate and identify issues. According to OEM I'm seeing
a ton of I/O from the users. So anyways, any help or insight would be much appreciated and a learning experience for me.
Thank you for your time and asistance.
SB

Thank you for the reply!
We've had finding one FOREVER, I can't resolve it and I've read somewhere to ignore because OEM is false reporting. I'm adjusting DB_Cache now...

Installin Oracle 10g rel 2 on windows 2003 server

Hi
I am trying to install oracle10g on windows 2003 server standard edition SP1. When i run the OUI i get the following error.
OUI-10133:Invalid staging area. There are no top
level components for Windows Nt or Windows 2000 area. And i am not able to install.
Can somebody help in this.
Thanks

This is a problem with the media.
I suggest copying all the files to a local hard disk and running the installer from there. I don't have good luck installing from CD with Oracle's databases - not sure why. I never have a problem (and it's WAY faster) installing from disk. You can erase the 800 MB of files after the install if you need the space.
