About License Oracle AS 10g

Hi All,
we were using Oracle DB10g (Rel 2) & Dev6i, we have the License for DB10g Standard Edition, but as now we are upgrading to Dev Suite10g so we need to have an additional Server for Application Server. Do we need to purchase the License for Application Server? If Yes then approximately how much it will cost us as we have Standard Edition for DB10g.
Regards
Rehman

you should talk to your sales guy about this.
Licences for oracle databases depend on some factors like amount of users and/or CPU-Cores. This will be the same for the application server.
you will like to have a look at this document:

maybe it helps...

Oracle Client 10g XE licensing inconsistencies

Oracle Client XE downloads require to accept "OTN License Agreement for Oracle Database Express Edition"
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/xe-license-152020.html
but debain package oracle-xe-client_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb contains different license in the file
/usr/share/doc/oracle-xe-client/copyright
This licenses do not match and the former states:
"BETA TRIAL LICENSE: ...provided to you by Oracle solely for evaluation purposes until January 31, 2006"
Does it effectively means that Oracle Client 10g XE cannot be legaly used at all?

OTN uses the same license for both client and server download. See
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/102xelinsoft-102048.html
In my question I asked only about license inconsistencies on client software available as oracle-xe-client_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb. I did not check if oracle-xe_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb or oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb have the same sort of license inconsistencies, because I am currently not interested in XE database server.

Problem about using Oracle Form 6i to connect Oracle Database 10g express.

Sorry to interrupt all of you.
I have encountered a problem about using Oracle Form 6i to connect Oracle Database 10g express.
As I would like to
I use Oracle Net8 Easy Config to create a connection.
According to "tnsnames.ora", the paramater of connection is as follows;
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = XE))
Unfortunately, when I use Oracle Net8 Easy Config to test the connection, an error message is prompted as follows:
Connecting....
The test did not succeed.
ORA-03106: fatal two-task communication protocol error
There may be an error in the fields entered
or the server may not be ready for a connection.
You can check the server and retry, or continue.
After I google it, I still have no idea how to solve the problem. I would like to ask, could anyone mind providing some hints or solution to address the issues.
Thanks for your assistance in advance.

I don't believe the Net8 Easy Config (NEC) will create a compatible entry in the tnsnames.ora. I have Forms 6i running successfully against a 10g Express database, but I did not use the NEC - I created the entry myself. Here is the entry I use:
XE=
(DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=
      (PROTOCOL=TCP)
      (HOST=<<servername or IP address>>)
      (PORT=1521)
    (CONNECT_DATA=
      (SERVER=dedicated)
      (SERVICE_NAME=XE)
)Hope this helps,

Is oracle lite free or is there any license for Oracle Lite 10g for product

Is oracle lite free or is there any license for Oracle Lite 10g for production use ??
-Thanks-

Please note that Oracle Lite is no longer being actively developed, and no further releases are planned. The recommended small footprint database from Oracle is Berkeley DB.

Questions About Chapter 2 in Oracle DB 10g: SQL Fundamentals II

Hello,
first of all i'm glad to be a member of your forum. I have joined a beginner Oracle Course: Intro to SQL. I'm facing some problems understanding some concepts in Chapter 2 of Oracle Database 10g: SQL Fundamentals II text book. I got about 15 questions. However, i will only ask two questions at first. Since i'm a newbie, please answer it in a simplistic form. Excuse me if you see grammatical mistakes.
Dropping a column can take a while if the column has a large number of values. In this case it may be better to set it to be unused and drop it when the number of users on the system are fewer to avoid extended locks.
Questions:
"when the number of users on the system are fewer to avoid extended locks."
1. Can you explain this to me please?! fewer than before? fewer than? What if users kept increasing during the years! then this "fewer" may not happen until the company collapse!
2. Why do we need to use unused columns? When should we use unused columns?

Great! .... I got more questions, i just do not want to open a new same thread. Thus, i will just post the questions in here and i hope i will get help from experts...Please bare with me guys...The questions are numbered, unnumbered parts are information that helps you understand my question.
Note: just answer what you are willing to, one question or whatever you want. I'm not expecting to get all the answers from one member :)
Thanks for understanding
Page 2-7:
Certain columns can never be dropped such as columns that form part of the partitioning
key for a partitioned table or columns that form part of the primary key of an index- organized table.
Questions:
"columns that form part of the partitioning key for a partitioned table"
*1. Do they mean one table can be split into two different storage? What is the thing that*
link these both tables to make Oracle Server realize these two tables are actually one table? Is is tablespace_name?
"columns that form part of the primary key of an index-organized table."
*2. Can you clarify the above sentence please*
*3. If i have set of columns that has large amount of data, i rather set them unused then*
drop them because the response time is going to be faster! I do not get it, can you
explain please? What i know is drop drops the column and release the disk space whilst
unused column make the columns useless and does not release disk space yet until we drop them, so
drop column does it in one step unlike taking the unused column process. In brief, i would like to know
why dropping unused columns that has large set of data is faster then dropping the column
directly...

4. ALTER TABLE emp2 ADD CONSTRAINT emp_dt_fk
FOREIGN KEY (Department_id)
REFERENCES departments ON DELETE CASCADE);
The above query is written in text book. I think it should be written as
ALTER TABLE emp2 ADD CONSTRAINT emp_dt_fk
FOREIGN KEY (Department_id)
REFERENCES departments(dept_id) ON DELETE CASCADE;
Am i correct?
*5. Can you tell me what deferring constraints is in one sentence please? Why do we need it? When do we need it in real-life?*
*7. You can defer checking constraints for validity until the end of the transaction. A*
constraint is deferred if the system checks that it is satisfied only on commit. If a
deferred constraint is violated, then commit causes the transaction to roll back.
I do not understand the above paragraph, please explain. What i know is "end of
transaction" ends with ; or commit
Page 2-18
create table test1 (
pk NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
fk NUMBER,
col1 NUMBER,
col2 NUMBER,
CONSTRAINT fk_constraint FOREIGN KEY (fk) REFERENCES test1,
CONSTRAINT ck1 CHECK (pk > 0 and col1 > 0),
CONSTRAINT ck2 CHECK (col2 > 0) );
-- "CONSTRAINT fk_constraint FOREIGN KEY (fk) REFERENCES test1"
*8. This is wrong isn't it? It references to test1 but no column specified.*
An error is returned for the following statements:
ALTER TABLE test1 DROP (pk); -- pk is a parent key.
*9. We can not drop it because we did not mention ON DELETE CASCADE. Am i right?*
ALTER TABLE test1 DROP (col1) -- col1 is referenced by multicolumn constraint ck1.
*10. I do not get it, can you explain please. col1 is not referenced, i see CHECK constraint is applied*
but no references made. Secondly, is ck1 considered multicolumn because it check two columns?
Or multicolumn here represents something else?
ALTER TABLE emp2
DROP COLUMN employee_id CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;
*11. This drop employee_id column and all its child. Correct?*
ALTER TABLE test1
DROP (pk, fk, col1) CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;
*12. This drops three columns and all its child if there are any. Correct?*
*13. Then what's the difference between ON DELETE CASCADE and CASCADE CONSTRAINTS?*
For example, What if employee_id in emp2 table definition does not have ON DELETE CASCADE,
will CASCADE CONSTRAINTS work? Please explain...
Page 2-22
When you are expecting a large data load and want to speed the operation. You may want
to disable the constraints while performing the load and then enable them, in which case
having a unique index on the primary key will still cause the data to be verified during
the load. So you can first create a nonunique index on the column designated as PRIMARY
KEY, and then create the PRIMARY KEY column and specify that it should use the existing
index.
Example:
1. create the table
create table new_emp
(employee_id number(6),
first_name varchar2(10)
2. create the index
create index emp_id_idx2 on new_emp(employee_id);
"You may want to disable the constraints while performing the load and then enable them"
so i suggest to load all data i want into new_emp.
3. create the primary key
alter table new_emp ADD primary key (employee_id) USING index emp_id_idx2;
What i understand is the following:
If we want to load large data into the new_emp, its better to create the table without any
constraints - in our case the constraint is primary key. After that, we create nonunique
index points to employee_id and then load data into new_emp. Finally, specify employee_id
as primary key using the nonunique index.
*14. Is my explanation correct?*
"in which case having a unique index on the primary key will still cause the data to be
verified during the load."
*15. Data to be verified against what? Is it to be verified whether its NULL or NOT NULL? I*
know primary key does not take NULL and every value must be unique.
After loading all data we want, what if i did
"alter table new_emp ADD primary key (employee_id);"
*16. Will i face any problems or inefficient process?*
I do not think we need step two, we could do the following:
1. create the table
create table new_emp
(employee_id number(6),
first_name varchar2(10)
"You may want to disable the constraints while performing the load and then enable them"
so i suggest to load all data i want itno new_emp.
2. create the primary key
alter table new_emp ADD primary key (employee_id);
*17. The above steps are as efficient as the three steps i mentioned above. The only difference*
is we let index be created implicitly. Right? If no, why?
Page 2-23
CREATE INDEX upper_dept_name_idx ON dept2(UPPER(department_name));
The following statement may use the index, but without the WHERE clause the
Oracle server may perform a full table scan:
select *
from employees
where UPPER(last_name) IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY UPPER (last_name);
"but without the WHERE clause the Oracle server may perform a full table scan"
*18. The above query let oracle server perform full table scan anyway! Right? It has to go*
through every field and check is it not null or not. I know we are using function-based
index but there are alot of not null last_name! so oracle server must scan one by one. If
we only had one not null field, then i would say Oracle server can point to that field
immediately by the aid of function-based index we created above. Can you clarify please...
Another related topic statement that i do not get it yet:
"The oracle server treats indexes with columns marked DESC as function-based indexes."
*19. The bove statements is so general. What if we have a column ordered by DESC order and we*
did not create any function-based indexes, will statement be true?!
Lets go back the above query:
ORDER BY UPPER (last_name);
*20. Its not DESC. To me, the above query does not flow with this statement "The oracle server treats*
*indexes with columns marked DESC as function-based indexes."?*

Regarding FLASHBACK TABLE, you can invoke a flashback table operation on one or more
tables, even on tables in different schema. You specify the point in time to which you
want to revert by providing a valid timestamp. By default, database triggers are disabled
for all tables involved. You can override this default behavior by specifying the ENABLE
TRIGGERS clause.
"By default, database triggers are disabled for all tables involved. You can override this
default behavior by specifying the ENABLE TRIGGERS clause."
*21. What are database triggers?*
*22. About External Tables. What are external tables? When is it used in real-life? Why do*
we want External Tables?

Oracle server provides two major access drivers for external tables. They are

[Urgent] Some questions about Oracle Portal 10g - 11g upgrade

Dear friends,
We are under doing upgrading assessment of Oracle Portal from 10g to 11g. After reviewed the 'upgrading guide', we still have some questions as below:
1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?
2. Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?
3. How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?
4. Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?
Thank you in advance and any comment are welcome.

1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?Instant Portal is not available anymore in Oracle Portal 11g. The Instant Portal page groups will be migrated to standard Portal page groups. Maintenance of the Instant Portal can be done with the standard Portal tools. The Instant Portal tools are not available anymore.
Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?Old 10g Page Groups are migrated to Portal 11g. They will still be available after the upgrade.
Export/Import through transports sets has always been limited to instances of the same version. It is not supported between versions as documented in the Administration Guide :
[11.2.1|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/portal.1111/e10239/cg_imex.htm#CCJBCCGD] System Requirements
Before exporting and importing content, ensure that your system meets the minimum system requirements, as described in this section.
Notes:
* Export and import functions only within the same release of Oracle Portal and the same patch release, for example, release 10.1.4 to release 10.1.4 or release 11.1.1 to release 11.1.1. You cannot export and import between two different releases, such as release 10.1.2 to release 10.1.4 or release 10.1.4 to release 11.1.1.
How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?Customized objects get migrated as well. Certain types (e.g. PL/SQL item types) need to be checked after upgrade as the behavior of the PL/SQL code may differ between database versions. This is particularly of concern when the 10.1.4.x Portal uses a 10.1 database. A database upgrade to either 10.2, 11.1 or 11.2 is necessary as Portal 11g is not supported with RDBMS 10.1.
Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?Never done this, but the Portal framework is able to consume JPDK providers which are running in older versions of the toolkit. If the providers are running in standalone OC4J containers, you would be able to upgrade the framework and keep the providers in their OC4J containers. This will allow you to focus on the framework first and worry about your providers later.
Thanks,
EJ

About Oracle DB 10g XE

Hi,
I have just installed Oracle DB 10g XE on my computer.
1) Wich is the name of DB and the SID? I suspect XE
2) Can I rename this DB and the SID with an other name ?
I hope in your answer.
Best Regards
Gaetano

1) Wich is the name of DB and the SID? I suspect XEYes, it should. Did you try connecting with Sql*Plus ?
2) Can I rename this DB and the SID with an other name ?Why do you want to change DB name ? Anyway you can use NID utility, see http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dbnewid.htm#sthref1850
To change the SID you can use ORADIM utility, see http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/win.102/b14304/create.htm#sthref256

Installation of Oracle AS 10g on Red Hat ES 3.0

Installation of Oracle AS 10g on RedHat ES 3.0 (All issues are cleared and u will b done with no error like Java Configuration Failed and make files errors)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Custom Installation
Copy from OTN Note
Start
Oracle 10g is certified to run the base release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Advanced Server and Enterprise Server) without updates. If you have update CDs, you can use the boot CD from the update instead of the boot CD from the base release to automatically apply all updates during the installation. All updates from Red Hat are supported by Oracle.
1.     Boot the server using the first CD.
o     You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
2.     The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
o     Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console. (For other installation methods and options, refer to the Red Hat Installation Guide.)
o     The installer scans your hardware, briefly displays the Red Hat splash screen, and then begins a series of screen prompts.
3.     Language Selection
o     Accept the default.
4.     Keyboard Configuration
o     Accept the default.
5.     Welcome Screen
o     Click on Next.
6.     Mouse Configuration
o     Accept the default.
7.     Installation Type
o     Select Custom.
8.     Disk Partitioning Setup
o     A thorough treatment of disk partitioning is beyond the scope of this article, which assumes that you are familiar with disk partitioning methods.
(WARNING: Improperly partitioning a disk is one of the surest and fastest ways to wipe out everything on your hard disk. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop and get help, or you will risk losing data!)
This article uses the following partitioning scheme, with ext3 for each filesystem:
The 9GB disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux and Oracle software and contains the following partitions:
- 100MB /boot partition
-1,500MB swap partitionâSet this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system but to no more than 2GB (32-bit systems do not support swap files larger than 2GB). If you need more than 2GB of swap space, create multiple swap partitions.
-7,150MB root partitionâ This partition will be used for everything, including /usr, /tmp, /var, /opt, /home, and more. This was done purely to simplify installation for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate these directories onto separate filesystems.
9.     Boot Loader Configuration
o     Accept the default.
10.     Network Configuration
o     It is usually best to configure database servers with a static IP address. To do so, click on Edit.
o     A pop-up window appears. Uncheck the Configure using DHCP box, and enter the IP Address and Netmask for the server. Be sure that Activate on boot is checked, and click on OK.
o     In the Hostname box, select manually and enter the hostname.
o     In the Miscellaneous Settings box, enter the remaining network settings.
11.     Firewall Configuration
o     For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall.
12.     Additional Language Support
o     Accept the default.
13.     Time Zone Selection
o     Choose the time settings that are appropriate for your area. Setting the system clock to UTC is usually a good practice for servers. To do so, click on System clock uses UTC.
14.     Set Root Password
o     Enter a password for root, and enter it again to confirm.
15.     Package Group Selection
o     Select only the package sets shown here. Leave all others unselected.
o     Desktop

o     Click on Next to proceed.
16.     About to Install
o     Click on Next.
17.     Installing Packages
o     Software will be copied to the hard disk and installed. Change disks as prompted, and click on Next when the installation is complete.
18.     Graphical Interface (X) Configuration
o     Accept the defaults unless the installer does not recognize your video card. If your video card is not recognized, you will not be able to continue.
19.     Monitor Configuration
o     Accept the default if the installer correctly identifies your monitor. Otherwise, select a compatible monitor from the list.
20.     Customize Graphical Configuration
o     Accept the defaults.
21.     Congratulations
o     Remove the installation media from the system, and click on Next.
22.     The system automatically reboots and presents a new welcome screen.
o     Click on Next.
23.     License Agreement
o     Read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms, select Yes, I agree to the License Agreement and click on Next.
24.     Date and Time

] âo [ and at line # 102 make= /usr/ccs/bin/make to /usr/bin/make remove ccs and save the file
There will no error in installation in infrastructure
Same as done with relink file in Middle tier installation. I would like to turn ur attention for a serious problem no one asked about it. Here u have seen that a script make 3 file in /usr/local/bin for infrastructure and middle tier when u finished infrastructureâs installation plz rename that 3 files as
Mv coredb coredb-infra
Mv dbhome dbhome-infra
Mv ora     â¦     oraâ¦-infra
If u overwrite that files by creating same name of middle tier files no problem.
When problem comes?
AS will work fine but when u have to install patches on AS then problem comes if u have overwrite that files. So plz rename them before creation of same files of middle tier. Thanx

Oracle Database 10g or Oracle 10g Express Edition

Hi Friends,
I have worked on Oracle 9i but now I would like to work on Oracle 10g but confuse because there are more option for download.Which one should I go for?
Oracle Database 10g or Oracle 10g Express Edition ?
Or Any other option.
Any Suggestion are welcome.
KarTiK.

It all depends on what exactly you are planning to use oracle for. Depending on the version, there may be found or not some features, you can see it this way:
EE > SE > XE
EE is a superset of SE and SE is a superset of XE. So you will find several limitation on the XE edition.
However, even though XE is a very limited version, it cannot be underestimated, it can be used for Spatial Data projects, it works with spatial data locator, and there are several guides that show how to use it with PHP so you can start a web site. WebPLSQL is included with it, so the only limit is your creativity.
This version can be very useful, and you can make the most of it, you may be interested in reading this article Oracle Database 10g Express Edition: Not Just for Learners
by Lewis Cunningham.
The XE edition is free. So you can use it without license fees and is the best suitable tool for learning, it is easy to install and setup. You can have a fully functional XE database out of the box. Once you feel more comfortable with oracle technology you can start thinking about taking the next step to a SE or EE edition.

How to do Oracle Forms 4.5 migration to Oracle Forms 10g

Hi All !
I will start a process in order to migrate our currently Forms/Reports 4.5 application to Oracle 10g (Forms/Reports 10g). I need to know in order to begin this process.
For example: What Oracle Application Server my customers needs to buy ? and about licenses that they need to have ? What are the Basic Steps to follow? And Related Information.
HELP me.
Thank you

It is a Migration to 6i, then to 10g or 11g. This will take you about 1-1.5 days per form Manually (Migration Assistant is used to help on the 6i to 10g/11g portion). There is a lot of changes that need to be considered, and this is a very daunting task, especially from 4.5. You need to change all of the Forms from Character Mode to Real for one. There are are over 160 statements that have either changed or have been de-supported (This means won't work now, not like the 3.0 commands that worked through 9i).
There is a tool that my company offers that can do the 4.5 -> 10g/11g Upgrade is as little as 5 days (No matter how many forms/reports you have). I don't mean to advertise, but it is the only thing on the market that does this. www.pitssamerica.com is the site and PITSS.con is the tool. Look at this.

Download problems Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

Completed download.
Attempted to start application but cannot find the server.
Removed the software using add/remove programs.
Attempted to reinstall but it seems that some applications are still on my system.
Attempted to remove the application but the add/remove program does not recognized the application
What can I do.

Hello,
I need to install "Oracle database 10g Express Edition" with different database name example dev but it is taking
default name that is XE and there is no option come during installation where i can put the name of database as per my desire.First, note that you can't install more than one instance of XE per server. Changing the instance name won't help you with that.
As you've already found out, the installer always creates a database instance with default names. That's part of the "Express" concept: As little configuration as necessary to get a Oracle Database installed with just a few clicks. The second advantage is, that you can also simplify the documentation, as you can forget about several aspects when you don't have to configure them...
Since you don't have tools like dbca in XE, your only option would be to rename the database once it's created. There are a few threads on that topic in this forum, e. g. {thread:id=403056}.
But before you start working on that, could you explain why exactly you have to use a different database/instance name?
And also explain why we use "Oracle database 10g Express Edition" instead of Oracle database 10g. what is the meaning of Express Edition.Why and how should we answer why you picked a certain edition? The most likely cause is license costs: XE is available for free, all others are just free as long as you use the OTN license...
For an overview, there is a [url http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/enterprise-edition/comparisons/index.html]Comparison Matrix for Oracle Database Editions.
I'd furthermore ask why you still use 10g XE instead of the current 11g XE?

I had this problem and resolved it by transporting the file to the installation server with the correct ftp datatype (binary).
On page 54 of the install guide (..Server\Oracle_Business_Intelligence\doc\doc\bi.1013\b31765.pdf) that comes with the installation files, there is an instruction to make sure that any ftp activity is done in binary.
This may not have occured with the license.xml file if you use a tool which offers the "feature" of automatic datatype recognition.
Hope this helps.

PLZ somebody help in geting resolve this. Has anybody seen this error before.

The solution to this problem is described in MetaLink note #211920.1. But this note is published with LIMITED access as it involves using a hidden parameter.
You can get access to the note through Oracle Support only.
The problem itself is solved generically, if the source database is at least 10.1.0.3 and the target database is 10.2

Oracle jpublisher bug or bug in Oracle database 10g ?

Hello,
i`m trying to call web service from pl/sql in oracle database 10g v10.1.0.2.0.
I`ve used this tutorial:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/jsp/callout_users_guide.htm
used oracle as 10.1.3 web service callout pack for 10g v10.1
and jpublisher 10.2, which has generated pl/sql wrapper package and proxy classes.
I`ve imported with loadjava dbwsclientws.jar and dbwsclientdb101.jar into my user called wscallout.
Also imported proxy classes.
When i`ve tried to call pl/sql function, i`ve got this error:

dude if you are using jdeveloper 10.1.3.x for development of web service the library you have loadded into database dwwsclinet etc or sopa.jar or mail .jar will not work
for getting the output for the web services developed on jdeveloper you need following file to upload on database
wsclient_extended for 10.1.3.x.0 where x stands for your version
wsclient_extended.jar which can be downloaded from
http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/oc4j/1013x0/wsclient_extended_1013x0.zip the stands for subversion
xstands for your version
after downloading above file upload it
open up the socket by command
on SYS schema
SQL>call dms_java.grant_permission('YOUR_SCHEMA','SYS:java.net.SocketPermission','<IPaddress ofcomputer>:<portnumber>(eg 10.8.11.98:8888)','connect,resolve');
SQL>call dms_java.grant_permission('YOUR-SCHEMA','SYS:java.util.PropertyPermission','*','read,write');
SQL>call dms_java.grant_permission('YOUR-SCHEMA','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission','createClassLoader','');
SQL>call dms_java.grant_permission('YOUR-SCHEMA','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission','getClassLoader','');
SQL>call dms_java.grant_permission('YOUR-SCHEMA','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission','setContextClassLoader','');
SQL>call dms_java.grant_permission('YOUR-SCHEMA','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission','setFactory','');
SQL>call dms_java.grant_permission('YOUR-SCHEMA','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission','setIO','');
SQL>call dms_java.grant_permission('YOUR-SCHEMA','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission','shutdownHooks','');
SQL>call dms_java.grant_permission('YOUR-SCHEMA','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission','accessClassInPackage.sun.util.calender','');
Now make a jar file which contain all your class files of proxy put that jar file on database an compile that jar file on database it should work than convert it into java stored procedure and invoke that procedure
