Can HA-Oracle agent distinguish a failed database from an inactive one?

I read "Oracle and Sun Cluster:A technical Overview" by Joseph Bianco. It says "The HA-Oracle agent can distinguish a failed database from an inactive one".
How do we configure HA-Oracle agent to be smart enough to distinguish normal shutdown (due to cold backup, or other maintainence purpose) and a failed database? So, it should not automatically start up database at the other node for normal shutdown operations.
Thanks,
Shuhsin

The default behaviour is to consider the service down if the database
is not online. But you can change this behaviour. For more info see
The Sun Cluster 3.1 Dataservice for Oracle Guide
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/817-3306
There are several ways to handle this scenario, including disabling
the fault monitor during backups or maintenance. I'm not sure there
is a generic, best way, so you should consider a solution based on your
requirements.

Can APEX/ORACLE connect to a mysql database?

Hi
Just wondered whether APEX and ORACLE could connect to mysql database. I may have a requirement to link to a mysql database and retrieve the data and wondered if APEX could do this.
Thanks

Hi
Apex sits within the Oracle database. Oracle can connect to a mysql database via a database link so yes this is certainly possible. We connect extensively to an Informix database here actually. This is really an oracle question though so you just need to look in the documentation for the CREATE DATABASE LINK command and for setting up the actual connection.
If you need more help let me know.
Cheers

Script to Create Database from an Existing One

I believe there is way to generate a script for re-creating a database from an existing database. But I forgot how. Anyone can Help. Thanks.

Hi,
Run the dbca.bat which in the oracle installer,
In the last option you will get two options
1)to create database
2)create the script
Here generate the script and run it in sql,
Before that create the oracleservice and connect to the instance
and run the script.

Anyone know where I can get Oracle 7.3 client for windows from ?

As per title anyone know where I can get the Oracle 7.3 client libraries from ?
My media cabinet only holds oracle versions back to 8.1.7
TIA,
Mike.

You pay the Oracle lawsuit?For using Oracle Client when Oracle currently provides Instant Client for free and allows it to be distributed with 3rd party/ISV applications? Doubt that Oracle will do that, or have a valid case - nor will it be in their best interest seeing that this is part of a migration to a later Oracle version (which means revenue for Oracle).

If I set up a secure FTP site would anyone be able to upload an ISO of the 7.3 client disk ?I will have a look to see for that Oracle Workgroup CD (it was a "free trial" distro at the time which I picked up at the local Oracle offices). The problem however is bandwidth cap. I'm still in a part of the world where broadband means around 32Kb/s thruput and being limited to the amount of b/w one can use (I'm capped to only using 5GB per month - which is not much).
I suggest however to log a service request with support.oracle.com - you are likely to resolve the problem much faster that way.

How can i configure an odbc using a database from sql to my excel

Hi, i hope you can help me
I have an excel sheet in wich i'm working, but i need to import data from a database used SQL, but i need the ODBC connection,... I try to used the administrator ODBC, but it has no driver for me to connect it to the SQL database, ... who knows wich tool can i use?
best regards,
Pamela

As far as I know -you still can't do that with the mail app on a device. You can select each contact by tapping the blue + sign to open the contacts app and you have to add them one at a time.
These are third party apps that will let you do this - Group Email ... And there are others in the app store.

Accesing Oracle 8i Database from iPlanet (Sun ONE) web server

Hi all,
I am trying to set up basic authentication mechanism on an iPlanet web server hosted web application. Instead of using the iPlanet LDAP directory, I would like to access the Oracle RDBMS for userid/password authentication. Does Oracle provide a means/plugin for enabling such communication with the iPlanet web server.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kavita

This just happened to me.
The problem is that iPlanet seems to goof up if you insert any non-alphabetical characters (such as underscore) into your virtual server class name.
To resolve this issue I had to open up the backups.conf file located in the conf_bk subfolder under your server folder.
<server root>\conf_bk\backups.conf
There are three sections divided by an empty line. The first section is 1 line and just has the version #, something like this:
backups.conf:Version 4.0
The next section has a list of conf files to keep backups of, when the last backup was made, etc..
The problem is that in deleting the obj.conf file for the virtual class, iPlanet does NOT remove the entry from this file for that virtual server class. You need to do this manually.
So locate the line in this section (most probably the last line in this section) that contains (virtual server class name).conf in it and delete that line.
You should now be able to operate as normal.
This is an aggravating bug that I hope has been addressed in iPlanet 6.1

What are some active IRC (Internet Relay Chat) Channels where people can discuss Oracle related issues and seek support from other Oracle users?

I know of #Oracle on Freenode, but it isn't very active, I was hoping to find some that are more active.
Thanks,
Mansoor

IRC and the Oracle discussion forum are complete different things. One is live chat, the later is the exchange of written communication. I think the Oracle community will be your best option. It depends what you are looking for, which you did not outline. IRC is a dinosaur from the last century, which has a bad reputation in regard to security standards and hence is often blocked by corporate networks. For instance, because IRC connections are usually unencrypted and typically span long time periods, they are an attractive target for Dos/DDos attackers.

How to insert data into local database from oracle server

I am new in C#.
I am trying to design a local database in my C# project and I am trying to sync my database with our oracle server. I can login using oracle server. But I can't insert data into my local database from oracle server.
anybody can help me ...............
thanks..............................

You can use SSIS package for that
Start a new Integration Services project in Business Intelligence Development Studio/ SSDT. Add a new SSIS package with a data flow task. Add a OLEDB source to connect to Oracle server and add a OLEDB Destination to connect to your local database.
Select tables for source and destination. On executing package source data will get transferred to your local database.

Resore the database from Tape to a new directory

Hi
can i use rman to resore the database from Tape to a new directory (not the database directories)
is that will work
run{
allocate channel.....
restore database to 'path';}
Thanks for any contribution

This will not work.
You need to code
set newname
commands in your rman script.
The syntax is
set newname <filenumber> to '<filename>'
As far as I recall this is a scenario which is documented in the RMAN documentation for your unknown version of the database.

Unable to open 2007B database in SAP Business One version 8.8

Hi Experts,
We are in the process of upgrading one of our client from SAP Business one 2007B PL13 to SAP Business One 8.8. While trying to open the client's live database in 8.8, system throws a message "You cannot upgrade company databases from SAP Business One client. Use the Upgrade CD or contact your IT administrator for the upgrade". Plz guide me on how can I open the DBs used in 2007B in 8.8??
Regards,
Madhavan

Hi
I thiink your database is not updated ..Install client in your server and try with opening up ..
It will probably ask you to back up the database and upgrade ...
If not ,uninstall everything thing ..instead of having new installation ,download the upgrade version and see if resolves your issue
Hope this helps

The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d01b].

First of all - you are in the wrong forum.
Look either for the Database general or search for Transparant / Heterogenous Gateways.
