8i Personal Edition OS requirements

Can someone please tell me what OS can be used w/8i PErsonal Edition? Specifically, Windows 2000? Thanks.

To install Oracle 8i on Windows ME, before you install it, modify the WIN.INI file, adding in the section [Compatibility95] the string: Jrew=0x00080000. Reboot your system and try to install it. Good luck.

Dear Borith,
I tried loading 8i PE on the Win ME. It gives an error -Unable to access the staging area. Please ensure the paths for source and destination or correct. What is the solution?
It works alright on Win 98 SE
Thanks

Install Oracle 8i (8.1.7.0.0) Personal Edition on Windows 98 (Second Edition)

Hello,
I am unable to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on my Windows 98 (Second Edition) system. I have selected "typical" install. All the files get installed (100% complete) but then the Configuration Tool install phase fails to complete when installing Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. I get the following error message :
java.lang.NullpointerException
at DropOracle.QueryDB(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.InitControls(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.<init>(DeletePanel.java:100)
at DBCreateWizard.<init>(DBCReateWizard.java:569)
at DBCreateWizard.main(DBCreateWizard.java:1422)
The system just hangs with the "in progress" message.
The previous step -
The Net8 Configuration Assistant install completes successfully
(return code 0).
If anyone can help me resolve my problem it will be greatly appreciated.
Or if you could tell me which Oracle email address (or phone number) I should address my problem to it will be appreciated. I do NOT have a Oracle Support Licence (I only purchased the evaluation CD pack).
I have installed Java 2 (JDK 1.3) in a separate directory - but I understand Oracle 8i has its own version of JRE 1.1... in its own subdirectory structure ... so my JDK 1.3 should not be interfering with the Oracle 8i installation programs.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
My actual requirement is to move the catalog database(8i) which is running on one windows server 2003 to another windows server 2003.
catalog db :8.1.7.4.0 (crman)
and we have different target databases(8i, 9i and 10g) which is using the above db as catalog db.
Here is an example:
old server name : yyyyy :
new server name : zzzzz
Under Old server we have the following oracle homes
ORACLE_HOME - 8.1.7 - which is created under the user "ora817"
ORACLE_HOME - 9.2.0.7 - which is created under the user "ora920"
and the catalog database name : CRMAN which is a 8i database but for backups it is using 9i rman executables.(because in the script for rman backup they are setting the 9i home and backing up the data's)
I need to move the same setting to the new server. I dont know how I will proceed on this. I'm in a confused state. If anyone have the same experience
please share your ideas.
Thanks, Muhammed.

Difference Between Enterprise and Personal Editions?

Hi All,
I want to install Oracle 9i on Window XP Pro. I am wondering what is the difference between the Enterprise Edition and the Personal Edition? Do they both come with the Enterprise Manager clients that I am used to using?
Any advice much appreciated.

Hi Alex,
You can get the information from the "doc" directory in the "disk1". If case you do not have it, I had copy it here for you. Hope it can help you to know more about the differences before choosing which one to install. I too have the tough time deciding until I came across this information.
Enterprise Edition: If you select this type, Oracle Universal Installer installs a preconfigured seed database, networking services, licensable Oracle Options, database environment tools, the Oracle Enterprise Manager framework of management tools, including Console, Management Server, and Intelligent Agent, Oracle utilities, and online documentation. It also installs those products most commonly used in data warehousing and transaction processing environments.
Standard Edition: If you select this type, Oracle Universal Installer installs a preconfigured seed database, networking services, Oracle Enterprise Manager framework of management tools, including Console, Management Server, and Intelligent Agent, and Oracle utilities.
Personal Edition: If you select this type, Oracle Universal Installer installs the same software as the Enterprise Edition installation type, but supports only a single user development and deployment environment that requires full compatibility with Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition.
Best Regards,
William Loong

Jtds and SQL server 2000(Personal Edition) problem

My application need to work in standalone mode without being connected to the network.
I've installed SQL Server 2000(Personal Edition) on Windows XP platform. I've Tomat 4.1 installed on the same machine. My applciation based on jsps and servlets runs on the same machine.
I'm using the jtds driver and I use the following code to connect to SQL Server.
Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
String str="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://127.0.0.1/GH;tds=8.0;namedpipe=true;lastupdatecount=true";
It works fine as long as the machine is connected to the network. Once it is unplugged, it gives me the error "ArrayIndexOutofBounds Exception-1".
But my application needs to be run on a machine where there is no network at all. In the above string I tried to change 127.0.0.1 by computer name and removed namedpipe parameter.
str="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://mypctds=8.0;lastupdatecount=true";
But it gives the same error. Any idea on this?

Infact SQl server is not listening to 1433 port. When I telnet localhost 1433, it is not connecting. I checked up Server N/w utility and Client N/w utility, both TCP and Named Pipe are enabled. Only if I include namedPipe=true, it works and it requires network connection to be present.
Under Server network utility, if I choose named pipe, the default value shows \\.\pipe\sql\query. I tried to remove \\ so that it doesn't take the network path. But it doesnot work. ANy help?

Personal edition

Can anyone explain to me how to install the personal edition of Windows ME?
Is it possible or should I just load NT or Windows 98 on my machine.

I would like to get the latest edition of personal edition for Oracle's database product. (I am a complete and utter newbie.)
I have searched and searched and cannot find the link for a download. 11g or even 10g I am sure would be fine.
Can anyone send me a link or tell me how I can find personal edition?
For learning purpose, Oracle corp allows to all download the Enterprise Edition itself from the Oracle Technology Work. This is a free download which comes with development and sort of patch and/or bug fixes would require to purchase the paid support contract. If you are newbie , you just download the software from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html#database
You can choose whatever edition you want to install from the installation media that you would download. There is no use as such to play with Personal Edition because many features are going to be working only on Enterprise Edition or on Standard Edition only.
Now, that said, if you want to purchase Personal Edition, this can be a very good investment as it would let you use the paid support portal MOS(My Oracle Support) as well. But as mentioned already, its only for Windows.

What is your RAM? I ran into the same problem, even though I had more RAM then required. I had to shutdown everything, make a very basic wallpaper that did not put too much strain on the system, then it installed.
Unistall Oracle, remove all the remaining files and the directory by hand. Also you have to remove any trace of Oracle in your regedit. Check if path to Oracle is still in autoexec.bat; if it is delete it - the Oracle path not the file. Reboot and then do Alt-Ctr-Del and turn off all the unecessary programs and try installing it again.
Hope it works.

Installing Designer 6 on NT With Oracle8 Personal Edition

According to the Designer 6 For Windows NT installation guide, I can have Personal Oracle 8.0.4 as a local database for use with Designer 6. However I am unable to successfully install these due to:
1. Designer and the Pre-Configured Repository must reside in the default_home directory.
2. The Pre-Configured Repository must reside in the same Oracle Home Directory as the local database - therefore Personal Oracle8 must reside in the default_home directory also.
3. Designer needs the 8.0.5 required support files whereas Oracle8 Personal Edition needs the 8.0.4 required support files to work.
Thus, is my problem. As I can not install both 8.0.4 and 8.0.5 support files into the same Oracle home, how can I get to use Designer 6 with a local 8.0.4 database on NT, as it suggests in the Designer installation guide?
null

These are the steps .
1. First Yout NT server must have Nt ver.4 with Service pack 5 built in
2.All Y have to do is to Installed Web App
Server on Different Physical location(With Oracle 8i) as different NT user with administrative privileges(Different from the user Y installed 8i RDBMS ).
3. Set TNS_ADMIN parameter for NT Server.
4.Set up the tnsname.ora and sqlnet.ora file
on web app home ,(ie %ORACLE_HOME%\net80\admin ) as same as those on your Oracle DB HOme ,(ie %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin )
After this if You follow the installation guide ,Post installation task ,
Every thing will work..
Good luck ..

Cannot download Oracle 9i personal edition

I am studying for Oracle DBA certification and was told that I could download a free version of Oracle 9i personal edition. After entering my userid and password, nothing happens. I have my Internet Options settings configured to accept cookies. What else can I try? Can I get a copy of this version on CD? What is the price?
This is for educational use only.

I'm not familiar with the specific offer you refer to, but all Oracle Database software can be downloaded here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
and then used for free for educational purposes (OTN membership required).
Cheers, OTN

Portal and Personal Edition 8.1.7

"Oracle9iAS Portal is not supported on 8.1.6 Personal Edition."
OK. But what about Personal Edition 8.1.7? The same?

Yes, the same. Portal requires 8.1.7 Standard edition or 8.1.6 Enterprise edition.

JDeveloper Suite Personal Edition and Windows NT

I recently purchased the personal edition of the JDeveloper
Suite. It states that the operating system must be Windows NT
4.0. I will be moving from Windows 95 and have little
experience with NT. Does this product require NT 4.0
workstation or NT 4.0 server software? If both are acceptable,
is one preferable? Also, which is required fot JDeveloper Suite
2.0? Thanks for your assistance.
null

In fact this will usually work (Windows 9x), but it isn't
certified or supported by Oracle. My personal experience is
pretty good (Windows 98) although when JDeveloper does hang it
will more often than not hang the OS (which almost never happens
to me on NT).

Oracle Personal Edition - Free?

OK, silly question...I just need someone to verify...is Personal Edition still free?
Thanks

No it is not and has, as far as I know, never been free.

SAP Crystal Dashboard Design Personal Edition - Lifeoffice available

We like to build a dashboard on Crystal Report Server
We wanted use the CRS + SAP Crystal Dashboard Design Personal Edition + CR or CRS + the package (CR + CX)
Does that include the lifeoffice Connecion?
Thanks for help
Beat Honegger

No direct way. But I had a similar requirement. Our team updates a central spreadsheet and our managers wanted to have a dashboard to reflect information entered on it. I ended up writing a VBA Macro using an XSD schema to use Excel XML Maps to export the spreadsheet data to .XML at the click of a button.
Then, in an Xcelsius model, I imported that same Excel XML Mapping .XSD schema into my model, and pointed it to the location of the exported XML file to then have "live" data whenever the source Excel file was saved. It seems an around the world way to get to Excel data (albeit in a separate file), seeing as the tool was originally written with Excel being the central focus.
There's also a more lengthly route to do it, but treating the Excel file as an ODBC source for a Crystal Report which Live Office will recognize which you can then use as a connection to Xcelsius, but that seemed even more painful for our purposes but in theory works.

Problem With Oracle Personal Edition On Windows XP

I am trying to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on Windows XP Professional, Installation was successful. But when I try to login through SQL plus it says "ORACLE not available" User Id I used is Scott/Tiger and System Manager.
Even I checked the services started but some of the Oracle services are still in "starting" staus
Can any one help me in this?

Those 'starting' services must switch to 'started' before things will start to happen.
What are the machine specs? Hopefully you have a decent CPU speed (>500MHz) and amount opf memory (>512M RAM) or things can be unsufferably slow.
Is there a particularily good reason for using Oracle8i? After all, it is an unsupported and obsolete version of the database.

Can't install Oracle 8.1.7 Personal Edition on Windows ME

I am trying to install "Oracle 8.1.7 Personal Edition for Windows 98" on Windows ME. I can't install it. During the install on the Oracle Universal Intaller, on the part where it asks for the Source and Destination, after I click "Next" to install, it gives me a error message: "Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Windows 95 available for install from this staging area". So I can't proceed with the installation.
The computer I am using is a Pentium 3, 700mhz, 128mb Ram.
On my other computer, it is a Dell Dimension Pentium 4, 1.3 GHz, 128mb ram. When I attempt to install it, while running the D:\setup.exe, before it even loads the install program, it gives me the error message: "Jrew has caused an error in JAVAI.DLL. Jrew will now close. If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer". Restarting my computer does not solve the problem.
Can anyone help me out, I really would appreciate it. Thank you.

There is supposedly a fix for this 'stage error' but I tried one of them and it doesn't work. What i have found is that you either create a dual boot Win ME/(98 or 2000 pro) or dump ME as I did and run 98 or 2000 instead. It is painful but unfortunately, seeming necessary. I made it a bit less painful by using Symantec Works to back up all of my other loaded APPS (and Registry entries) Most reloaded to 98 even though they were running in ME.
Good luck.
Michael
