Can a single database be used for two operation system in a single machine

Hi,
I have a typical question. My problem is that in my testing machine I have Linux Enterprise(UFS file system) and Windows XP(FAT partition) both installed as dual partitions..
In Linux I have mounted the Windows XP file system as read write , so I can access the Windows file system from my linux.
I have Oracle 10g on Windows XP with datafiles in my F:\ location.
This location F:\ of windows is mounted as /datafile on Linux.
Now my question is If I install an oracle instance in Linux OS of my system, can I use the same datafiles I am using for my windows?
Regards
Vineet

Hi,
No, because, as you wrote F:\ of windows... /datafile on Linux, the datafiles directory are committed into the system tablespace. Also, you can see that the absolute same directory is not mentionned as the same way.
For example for Windows database : select member from v$logfile; will give D:\oracle\oradata\DB1\log\redo01.log
And into Linux, the same query /oracle/oradata/DB1/log/redo01.log
There is no automatic translation between the both systems when Oracle start.
HTH,
Nicolas.

    Hi,
    Thanks.
    I have heard of the DBCA to install a local ORACLE database
    But I think it is an ORACLE client that is installed in my machine.
    Can I request my network system services to install a local ORACLE database?
    Will that be of some help.

  • System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"

    Greetings    
                                        - Our critical server image backup Fails on one
    server -
    Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
    partition on each source hard drive is not included.
    Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
    Server A good.
    Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
    disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
    At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
    "The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
    The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
    Used   diskpart clean   to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
    Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
    Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
    The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
    Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
    Restore still fails.         It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
    Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
    Server A  SRP 100MB  C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
    Server B  SRP 100MB  C: 102GB  on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
    Restore-to hard drive is also Seagate ST3500418AS.
    http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/thread/e855ee43-186d-4200-a032-23d214d3d524      Some people report success after diskpart clean, but not us.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/31595afd-396f-4084-b5fc-f80b6f40dbeb
    "If your destination disk has a lower capacity than the source disk, you need to go into the disk manager and shrink each partition on the source disk before restoring."  Doesnt apply here.
    http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=439&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=4
    for 0x80042403 says "The solution is really quite simple: the destination drive is of a lower capacity than the image's source drive." I cant see that here.
    Thank you so much.

    Hello,
    1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
    You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
    2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
    3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
    correct order in the hardware.
    4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
    bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline. 
    5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
    should be present with minimum size requirement.
    6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:

    How can my wife and I use our two iTunes accounts on one IPad

    Unfortunately it will be difficult. iPads are personal devices like phones and done have credentials. You can of course log out of and into the app store to download purchased apps but the iPad will then have all the apps of both your wife and you (though you could put these into folders I guess).

    Hi,
    Transaction date  will be your autoinvoice master program submission level date (If you haven't setup any logic.
    Please check the program level default date, if user enter old date ststem will pick the same.
    Customer is trying to set the value of the profile OM:Set receivables transaction date as current date for non-shippable lines at the responsiblity level. System does not set the transaction date to current date in ra_interface_lines_all.
    CAUSE
    Customer has used the functionality in R11i. But after the upgrade to R12, the system functions differently than R11i.
    SOLUTION
    1.Ensure that there are no scheduled workflow background process run.
    2.Set the profile "OM: Set Receivables Transaction Date as Current Date for Non-Shippable Lines"  at Responsibility level only as Yes.
    3.Now switch the responsibility to which the profile is set.
    4.Create order for Non-Shippable Lines and progress it to invoicing.
    5.Ensure that the 'workflow background process' concurrent program is run in the same responsibility and this line is considered in it.
    6.Now check if the 'SHIP_DATE_ACTUAL' is populated to ra_interface_lines_all

  • HT1665 Can iPhone car charger be used for latest iPad?

    Can iPhone car charger be used for new iPad?

    Probably not. The iPhone charger is 5W whereas the iPad requires a 10W charger. The iPhone car charger will probable charge the iPad, but very slowly.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    how can I use for each operation in jdeveloper 11.1.1.5.0 in adf fusion web application to show images stored in database?

    How are the images stored in the database?
    If it has the path - create the VO and show the images using foreach by creating a tree/table binding in the pageDef as follows:
    <af:forEach items="#{bindings.BillToStateLOV.rangeSet}" var="item">
    <af:image id="si9" source="#{item.src}"/>

  • Windows 10 TP - Build 9879 - WIMBoot incompatibilty - "Windows can't be installed because this PC uses a compressed operating system."

    Ran into an issue installing the W10 TP today; currently using a laptop who's manufacturer load up windows 8.1 using WIMBoot to save space on the SSD. 
    Because of WIMBoot, the W10 installer detects that "Windows can't be installed because this PC uses a compressed operating system."
    This means that, short of redoing my Windows Install from scratch, I have no way to install the W10 TP, either through the ISO or through Windows Update.
    Any chance that this will possible in a future build?

    Wimboot needs an image file, that HP uses with Windows8.1 + Bing on
    Stream 7 tablet & HP stream laptops11.6" & 13.3"
    Hp turned windows 8.1 into image file for using 32gb sd storage
    windows 10 until finalised will not be an image file
    bye retired techie
    This is quite unhelpful, as I am in the same boat on an HP Stream 11, and many others are in this boat as well
    According to the System Requirements page for the latest technical preview, Windows 10 is unsupported on
    all 16GB WIMBoot devices,  but only incompatible on
    some 32GB WIMBoot devices, thus seeming to imply that some WIMBoot devices are indeed compatible.
    The question is, why are some WIMBoot devices upgrade compatible while others are not? And is it possible to work around this limitation while retaining the WIMBoot configuration and user data, as an option for advanced users?
    Furthermore, Windows 10is an image file (install.wim is what's used to install, refresh, and restore Windows). WIMBoot devices, from my understanding, use the install.wim (which currently contain the Windows 8.1 OS) in
    a read-only mode, only applying updates and changes as files on the C: drive (so any updated files are located on C: and the originals within install.wim ignored?). Problem is, there has yet to be any explanation from Microsoft, for OEMs or consumers,
    on how WIMBoot devices are to be upgraded in the future, as WIMBoot was only introduced with Windows 8.1, and so there hasn't been any major consumer releases of Windows that these devices would upgrade to.
