10gAS infrastructure and Oracle DB install

We have an ERP product just like Oracle eBusiness suite (Oracle Applications) built using Oracle DB, Forms, Discoverer, Reports, Portal etc. for small and midsize companies (very low foot print compared to Oracle eBusiness suite). Our product is deployed/installed at customer sites who buy the product. Most of our customers are small and they would have one box for 10gAS and one for DB.
Based on above, we are debating how to install infrastructure DB and our applications database…
1.     It is better to have the Infrastructure database on the same server as the Mid Tier as it installs by default? And then just connect to the application’s database on a separate database server (create a link from infrastructure to applications DB)?
2.     Should we put the Infrastructure instance on the Database Server in a separate instance from the application instance?
3.     Should we (or can we) put the Infrastructure in an instance on the database server and then add our application schema inside this same instance so we minimize the number of instances on the production database server.
Please suggest…

x86-64 is an extension of the x86 32-bit CISC instruction set. The 64-bit extension provides support for long mode to address larger virtual and physical address spaces.
You can generally run 32-bit applications on a x86_64 bit CPU and a x86_64 kernel, provided you have the appropriate i386 libraries installed. When you install Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.1 for x86_64, appropriate i386 libraries are a prerequisite.
Since x86 on a x86_64 CPU is still hardware, there will be no performance penalty to run 32-bit application. Btw, you cannot run 64-bit applications using a i386 kernel. The only exception I know is Mac OS X.

11gR2 Grid Infrastructure and 11gR2 RAC install as separate users (RH 5)

We are about to set up a few new RH 5 clusters and are trying to make a decision if we should install 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure and 11gR2 RAC as the same user (oracle) or as separate users (grid and oracle) as per Oracle documentation.
I would like to know what other people are doing and their experiences with this.
Here are some concerns that we have:
1) Does Oracle support has an 11gR2 cluster environment where grid infrastructure and oracle database are installed as separate users ? I have been to a few Oracle 11gR2 demos and they always have a simple install where everything is installed as a single user.
2) Potential permission issues that we might hit iif we use separate users, for example
- grid control agent - which user do we install it as and will it be able to access both grid and oracle files ?
- database listener will run as grid user. Is this going to cause any permission issues ?
Thanks in advance for your answers

It is all dependent on your business whether your business needs to separate between privileged user for storage administrator (ASM) or database level. It is recommended to have user separation but not mandatory.
see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e17212/toc.htm for the details
permission issues might happen if the configuration is not correct. for example you might see ORA-12537 when configuring the system
Hope this helps

Oracle AS Infrastructure and Oracle AS

We have installed Oracle AS Infrastructure and Oracle AS successfully, the problem is that we can not connect to both of them by using web based console.

Hello Anwer,
You can find this information in chapter '7 Installing Middle Tiers' in the installation guide for your platform : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/getstart.htm
And you can install both the infra and midtier on the same server provided there is enough physical RAM available.
Thanks,

Windows 2003 64 bit and Oracle Client install issues

A bit of background. We are a Microsoft shop using SQL Server 2005 / Windows 2003 64 bit servers. We need to have ODBC drivers and Oracle OLE provider to connect and transfer data vis SSIS.
We have installed a package (ODAC10203x64.zip) for OADC 10.0.2.3 which we downloaded from the Oracle website.
We see the software in the program file group. We cannot find the Oracle ODBC drivers, also can't find the Oracle OLE Provider. However the Oracle installation package shows the Oracle OLE Provider has been installed even though we cannot find it anywhere.
Any suggestions?

Perl and Oracle Client Install

Hi,
When installing the Oracle Client on user machines, does it not install Perl as well? Something like $ORACLE_HOME/perl/.....
I am installing the client and I am not seeing this. Or this only for the non-client versions?
By the way I am installing Oracle 10gR1 (10.2.0.1)

Ya I did the client install as well and noticed that I had it as well, but for the client install on 10gR1 it is not. This is weird. Basically I am trying to apply a patch using OPatch and it keeps saying that Perl is needed. When I downloaded the Perl manually, it still said that it could not reconize Perl. Any thoughts?

Is there any problem for having Oracle and Oracle Express?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
is there any problem with having both oracle 10gR2 and oracle express installed on the same machine?
thanks

There is no theoretical technical problem with multiple Oracle databases on a machine, and I have indeed such an environment on several machines.
Although people have been known to create their own technical problems by not being careful.
You may want to review your knowledge of Oracle architecture, as you MUST have separate ORACLE_HOMEs. The ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are predefined for XE and it's important to keep things straight.

Where to download and how to install Oracle AS Portal ?

Greetings,
I'm using portal servers from BEA, IBM and JBoss since several years. I bought a book on Oracle AS Portal which showed me a couple of interesting things I wanted to look at. Surprinsingly enough, this book doesn't start as normally, with how to download and install the product. This already seemd a little bit wear to me. But when I tried to find by myself the Oracle AS Portal bundle to download and install, I didn't find anything. Looking in the Oracle AS 10.1.3 documentation, it seems that Oracle AS Portal is not a part of it. I finally managed myself to find some documentation saying that in order to install the last version of Oracle AS Portal, one should install Orackle AS 10.1.2.0.2 and upgrade afterward to Orcale As Portal 10.1.4. Yes, but when I tried to install Oracle AS 10.1.2.0.2, I dind' find any option concerning the portal. There OC4J, ther is Infrastructure (identity management and other things), development kits but not portal.
So could someone explain what does this big mistery around Oracle As Portal mean exactly and how to download and install it quickly ?
Many thanks in advance.
Nicolas

First you would need to install the infrastructure which in itself should include the Identity Management and the metadata repository, which portal uses. Then after you're done with that, you can then start the installer again and choose to install the application server (the middle tier). When you're installing the Application Server, it asks for more options. You may choose just to install a J2EE server..in your case if you want portal choose the corresonding option that contains portal. If you're wanting to install Forms/Reports services, you'll need to select the corresponding option. Hopes this helps you get started.

Can i install Ora9iAS Infrastructure and Ora9iAS Midtier in same machine??

Hello,
I want to clarify whether i can install the Ora9iAS infrastucture and Ora9iAS midtier in the same machine?? Since i try to install but giving error on this
Unable to verify connection to this OID instance. Please verify your Hostname, Port, username and Password or verify that the OID services is running.
I'm not sure whether there is anything wrong?? Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes you can install Oracle9iAS Infrastructure and Middletier on same m/c. However you need to install both of these in different oracle home and install infrastructure prior to middletier.
Regarding to your problem...
During middletier installation you will be prompted for infrastructure hostname and port number. Ensure that you enter just the 'hostname' and NOT 'http://host'
Also check that 'host' file on the server machine is updated. This file is located at C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc. You have to make entry for ip address and hostname in this file.
Another note: Oracle9iAS installation needs 'fully qualified hostname'. i.e. just 'myhost' won't work. try myhost.mycompany.com
Your host file entry will look like
80.81.82.83 myhost.mycompany.com
Refer to http://otn.oracle.com/products/ias/install-faq.html for further details. especially point # 11 and 15

Install oracle10g AS 904 infrastructure and middle tiers on single node??

Hi
I will install oracle10g AS 904 infrastructure and middle tiers on single node.
I have some question.
1.install infrastructure and middle tiers must have different home_dir , It is mean use one user (EX:oracle) or two users (EX: infra and mid ) install ?
2. If use one user install , How to edit the user profile ?
3. If it install complete , Which em console do I start (infra or middle)??
4. Ple give the clear steps to install Infrastructure and Portal and wireless
on single host for AIX5L.
thank
kevin

Hi Kevin,
1. Create two seprate Oracle homes. Use the same user to install both.
2. Are you refering to changing ORACLE_HOME, etc?
3. Both. To save memory you can shut them down when you don't need them.
4. Use the quick installation guide. You can find it under documentation here on OTN.

Need help with 10gAS infrastructure install on RH linux

Attempting to install a 10g Infrastructure (10.1.2.0.4) on an RedHat ES 4.0, update 2 Server (Brand new clean install of OS followed by install of Infrastructure.) System is a AMD64 3000+ with 2GB memory (we will be loading the AS on this same server, so we went with extra memory.)
Following the Installation guide to the letter (even caught and corrected the incorrect SHMMAX parameter value in the QIG) All of the pre install steps completed. During the actual install accepting mostly defaults (changing group to oinstall vice oracle and putting in the system name where required are the only 2 changes I can think of)
Everything installs fine until we get to the Single Sign-on Configuration assistant At that point we get an error ERROR : Exception while configing SSO DAD :

I would swear that this worked once before when I have the server at home (and not attached to the network) but we have tried to re-install (both OS and Oracle from the ground up) while not connected to the network and still get this error (we have another LDAP on the network that we thought was conflicting, but have eliminated that as a prossiblity.)
This is the production version of the Oracle applications server, so I would assume that if a number of people were having a problem, I would see something in either OTN or Metalink and I dont see it in either
The only difference I can see is that I am using Update 2 vice Update 1 (the certified version) I can try going back but V1 but would that make that much difference?
I see several others have done this without a problem so I home they can help Ideas from anyone?
Thanks.
Michael
<Note: Cross posted on Identity Management forum (as it's an SSO error)>

Hi Michael!
The problems I had with SSO were way different than your problems. What came to my mind is to check the network settings of the machine. What I usually do is to set the hostname and the domain in the /etc/sysctl.conf .I have a ES40u2 were I had no problems whatsoever.

Install sqldeveloper on windows 7 64 Bit and Oracle 11.2

Hi,
how can I find the rigth jdk. I installed JDK on C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23.
I installed Oracle 11.2 including sqldeveloper. But I cannot find the correct folder to start sqldeveloper.
Where can I find this path?
When I include a path with java.exe I get the error "Unable to find a Java Virtual Machine. To point to a locacion of a Java Virtual Machine, pleaser refer to the Oracle9i Jdeveloper Install guide (jdev\install.html)" Where can I find this?
Thank you for your help
Siegwin

I am on Windows 7 64 bit. I see that installing Oracle 11.2 database installs SQL Developer also but that doesn't work. I get the .bat file not found crap. What I then did was do a seperate install of SQL Developer for 64 bit, but that does NOT install the jdk.
I then did the java install from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u25-download-346242.html
I selected: jdk-6u25-windows-x64.exe
I then point to the java.exe where this install loaded it (c:\program files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin when I start up sql developer and it still gives the same error. I delete the SetJavaHome value in the sqldeveloper.conf file and try again over and over but it still gives the same error.
So, I have windows 7 - 64 bit operating system. I have Oracle 11.2 database installed. I have a seperate installation of SQL Developer 64 bit and I have the java jdk for 64 bit installed.
Nothing is working. Can anyone please steer me in the correct direction? Should I delete the second install of SQL Developer 64 bit and to an install of SQL Developer 32 bit?
Please help

Problem with installing Oracle UI and Oracle SP (ouiosp220160.jar)

Hello,
I have downloaded the installation file for Oracle Universal Installer and Oracle Software Packager which is in the form of a jar file:
ouiosp220160.jar.
WhenI try to extract it, the JVM says that the jar file is a corrupt one.
So, I downloaded it again and still it is a corrupted one.
What to do now? Is it in the corrupt form on the site or I am missing something?
Any other mirror site?
Please help.

Yes use a different ORACLE_HOME's for the Database,
The Application Server (Needs 2 Oracle Homes if you are installing it on one server) and the developer suite - I would expect to see this more on a client PC than a server but if you are trying everything out on say a windows box then that also needs its own HOME.
Have fun.

Oracle 9I Database, and Mobile Server install history

Dear Oracle technical representative:
This TAR started out as a true request for help in solving installation problems with Oracle 9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, and Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1, but it has turned into a history of frustration with out of date, laconic, and often incorrect, and misleading documentation. As a software developer, I understand that documentation is always out of date, at least mine is. Nonetheless, I must speak my mind while understanding, and sympathizing with your situation.
I struggled through the documentation, and managed to get everything working. While I was doing that, I wrote down the step by step procedure that I used to get Database, and Mobile Server running. By sharing this rough install history with you, it is my hope that it will help prevent others from experiencing the same difficulties that I have had. It has been my observation that when a user has problems installing a trial software package they give up quickly, and do not purchase a copy. It is thus extremely important that the installation instructions, and quick start guide be accurate, attentive to detail, and well written. The first impression is the one that counts.
The Oracle 9i Lite Installation, and Configuration Guide for Windows NT shipped with Oracle 9i Lite Release 5.0.1 definitely requires, and emergency rewrite. It is terribly out of date, inaccurate, and laconic. My guess is that it is a very sloppy rewrite of poorly written 8i documentation. The Oracle 9i Database Installation Guide for Windows is somewhat better. It however should do a better job informing you that before installing onto a old server the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC), and VC runtime libraries must be up to date. The history describes the trouble with not having the MFC42.dll at version 6. Another corker is that the default port the installer presents is 2030, and not 1521, and that leads to major confusion in the both the Database, and Mobile Server installs.
Thank you for looking at the history. I hope that it will be of use to you when you update your documentation.

TAR for Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition, and Oracle Lite Release 5.0.1 Mobile Server
Installation problems are highlighted in red.
Installation sequence/history:
     1. Installed Windows NT 4.0 Server SP1 on Dell Power Edge 4300 dual x86 server to wipe the slate clean.
     2. Setup TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX networks
          Computer name YGGDRASILL
          Host name = YGGDRASILL
          Domain = CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
          Internet name = YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSATE.EDU = 130.18.130.225
     3. Installed NT SP3, and Internet Explorer 4.01 from the NT 40 Options Pack CD as the gateway to installing MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0.
     4. Installed MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0 from NT 4.0 Optins Pack CD.
     5. Applied NT 4.0 SP6.
     6. Installed Internet Explorer 5.5 as a prerequisite to installing MADAC 2.6.
     7. Installed MDAC 2.6
     8. Installed Paint Shop Pro 7 for capturing error screens.
     9. As previous install errors stated that the ordinal function xxxx could not be found in MFC42.dll, the latest version (6.0.8665.0) of the dll was installed, and registered from MS VC++ SP5. Also I upgraded MSVCIRT.dll, MSVCRT.dll, MSCRT40.dll, and added MSVC60.dll from SP5 to be on the safe side.
According to the installation documents all the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition are satisfied.
     10. Began install of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with target parameters:
          Home directory = D:\Oracle\Ora92
          Database directory = D:\Oracle\oradata
          Global database name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
          Port = 2030
          SID = FIA
          SYSTEM Password = phwphw
          SYS Password = phwphw
          SCOTT Password = phwphw
          DBSNMP Password = I left this one unassigned or empty.
          tnsnames.ora entry for remote TCP/IP connection
          a. CD 1 of 3 load
               1. Error writting to MFC42u.dll. Action ignore. A check indicated that MFC42u.dll version did not match the updated version of MFC42.dll. Plan is to update after install. Unicode version of MFC is probably not used by the installer.
          b. CD 1 completed with only one problem, and CD 2 load begins.
          c. CD 2 installed without incident., and CD 3 load begins, and completes without farther problems. The only issue to address at this time is to update the MFC42u.dll.
               HTTP Server URLs
                    http://7778
                    https://4443
     12. Evaluation of install success begins.
          a. Oracle HTTP Service will not start. It is of particular interest that on installs that I do not upgrade the MFC42.dll the Oracle HTTP Service will start correctly, but during the install I get the error message Ordinal nnnn not found in MFC42.dll, and the Oracle MTS Recovery Service crashes during the install. I am caught between a rock and hard spot on this one. See the Figure 1. At the end of this document. I do not need the HTTP Server at this time but I will need it later and this issue must be resolved. It appears that it hangs during startup. I am sorry but I lost the ordinal number nnnn.
          When I try to start the HTTP server from the Programs menu. It Hangs, and does not return an error message. See Figure 2, and the included Apache Setup.txt, the install log, and the HTTPd.conf . The conf, and setup files look OK to me. What is the problem?
          b. All other services start correctly.
          c. Logged into the database as SCOTT on the server with SQL Plus using the connection information:
               FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
               (DESCRIPTION =
               (ADDRESS_LIST =
               (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill)(PORT = 1521))
               (CONNECT_DATA =
               (SERVER = DEDICATED)
               (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
          I created some tables, inserted data, and queried for the data. Everthing seems to be working correctly.
          d. Logged in remotely from my AOL account on a dial-up line using Oracle 9i Release 2 Personal Edition installed on my ThinkPad. Every thing tested out as above. I used the connection information:
               FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
               (DESCRIPTION =
               (ADDRESS_LIST =
               (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu)(PORT = 1521))
               (CONNECT_DATA =
               (SERVER = DEDICATED)
               (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
     13. I concluded that except for the Oracle HTTP Server Service not starting correctly, and that after updating the MFC42u.dll to VC++ SP5 level the stage is set for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1. I copied the MFC42u.dll to the server and registered it successfully.
     14. As Visual Studio 6.0 Professional updates all of the MFC stuff, I decides to install it at this juncture, and apply SP5.
     15. Installed JDK1.3.1 required for Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
At this time the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1 are satisfied, and MFC, and rt are at version 6.
It is important to note that after installing MS Visual Studio Professional 6.0 SP5, the HTTP server started working. It is clear that prior to installing Oracle Database it is essential that MFC, and possibly other components are upgraded before starting an installation of Oracle. This probably only applies to old NT servers, but it should be mentioned in the installation instructions.
     16. Attempt to install Oracle Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
          a. File locations Screen
               Name: = OraLite501
               Path: = D:\OraLite501
          b. Select Mobile Server at Installation Screen
          c. Mobile Server Repository Database Information Screen
               Hostname = YGGDRASILL = hostname from tnsnames.ora
               Port = 2030 = same as Database port
                    It is troublesome that the port in tsnames.ora is 1521, and not 2030 as was specified in the database install. I will try this port on the reinstall. On the retry, it worked. The problem was that I was mislead by the default port of 2030 at the database install. The database was actually installed on port 1521, and I was not given an error message, or warning. As I am a first time installer of Oracle products this threw me for a loop. The default port for the database needs to be 1521, if regardless of what the user specifies for a port you are going to install on port 1521.
               Net Service Name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU = Global database name as required by installation instructions.
          d. Yes. At Do you want to install the Mobile Server Repository question.
          e. At Oracle Protocol Support, I checked the SPX box.
          f. Summary, and Install screens function to specifications.
          g. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
               Database System password:
                    Password = phwphw
          h. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
               Schema Name: fiafield
               Password : fiafield
          i. Success at last with the install part. The problem was the wrong port number. See my above comments on this problem, and how Oracle could grease the skids for the next first time installer.
     j. I could not find the httpd.conf file in the place the install instructions said it should be for running the Mobile Server in Oracle HTTP Server. Since only one copy of httpd.conf existed, I added the include D:\OraLite501\mobile\server\bin\wtgias.conf to the bottom of the file assuming that it is the correct one. I the re-booted instead of using apache -k restart. The Oracle HTTP Server started, so there is hope. The install instructions state that the httpd.conf file would most likely be in the program files directory, when they are really installed in the Oracle Lite home directory.
     k. According to the documentation the Mobile Server should start when the Oracle HTTP Server starts with the wtgias.conf file added to the httpd.conf file. It does not. If I use Process Explorer, I know that Apache loaded the wtgias.conf, because both Apache.exe processes that are running have the wtgias.dll loaded. The facts are at this stage of the game are
          1. OraMTSRecoveryService is started
          2. OracleOraHome92HTTPService is started
          3. OracleOraHome92Listener is started on port
          4. OracleServiceFIA is started
          5. Apache.exe has the wtgias.dll loaded
          6. The Moble Server is not running and it should be if the documentation is correct.
          7. If I start the Mobile Server either as a service using wtgsvc -i or with the webtogo command from the DOS prompt, the Mobile Server starts, but when I attempt to log in with the URL http://Yggdrasill:7778/webtogo/startup it inform me the Mobile Server is not started and it is. Figure 3 shows the response I receive from the login attempt.
     l. I finally ran the Mobile Server in total debug mode using the command webtogo -d0", and it gave me the subtle hint that the correct URL is
          http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup.
     When I use the above URL and I can login to the Mobile Server with UN = fiafield, and PW = fiafield. I was confused by the documentation. I was under the assumption that the host address would be either http://Yggdrasill:7778, or http://Yggdrasill:4443. After all when I, installed Oracle Database these URLs were listed. It needs to be made clear in the installation guide for the mobile server that the Mobile Server address is http://Your servers WWW address/webtogo/startup, and the statements about the Mobile Server will start when the Oracle HTTP Server is started needs to be removed since they are incorrect. Also, the documentation should clearly state that the Schema Name, and Password given in the Repository Wizard Screen are synonymous with the username, and password for the Mobile Server login.
     m. After determning the hard way that the Mobile Server does not start when the the Oracle HTTP Server starts, and that the correct URL is http://Internet address/webtogo/startup = http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup, I decide to start the Mobile Server as a service with the command wtgsvc -i. After I re-booted, to my surprise, I could not login to the Mobile Server. When I checked the system services, the webtogo service was running. So to give the start as a service thing a fair chance I re-booted again, but obtained the same results. I thus concluded that the Mobile Server will not run correctly as a service. As it turns out my conclusion was wrong. After waiting a few minutes, my login try was successful. The documentation should indicate that after booting it may be a minute or two before the Mobile Server service become available.
     n. After some serious problems with the installer, and the documentation everything is working. I have a green light to go on to the next stage, which is program the handheld to take advantage of the Mobile Server. I will be glad to get back to programming, and am so thankful that I am not a network administrator.
