Can Oracle Grid support multiple database versions simultaneously?

Hi,
Quick question that likely has large ramifications - can a single Oracle Grid deployment host multiple Oracle database versions? e.g. from Version 7 through Version 11?
Thanks

Ok, you might be able to manage it but you will have to use a 3rd party clusterware for 9i rac. I was looking at ml note 220970.1 and it says
Oracle Clusterware (CRS) will not support a 9i RAC database so you will have to leave the current configuration in place. You can install Oracle Clusterware and RAC 10g into the same cluster. On Windows and Linux, you must run the 9i Cluster Manager for the 9i Database and the Oracle Clusterware for the 10g Database. When you install Oracle Clusterware, your 9i srvconfig file will be converted to the OCR. Both 9i RAC and 10g will use the OCR. Do not restart the 9i gsd after you have installed Oracle Clusterware. Remember to check certify for details of what vendor clusterware can be run with Oracle Clusterware.
For example on Solaris, your 9i RAC will be using Sun Cluster. You can install Oracle Clusterware and RAC 10g in the same cluster that is running Sun Cluster and 9i RAC.

Multiple database versions in a server

Hi all,
to day i have seen the file cat /etc/oratab like
db1:/u01/app/oracle/product/8.x.x.x/db_1:Y
db2:/u01/app/oracle/product/9.x.x.x/db_1:N
db3:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.x.x.x/db_1:Y
db4:/u01/app/oracle/product/8.x.x.x/db_1:N
here my doubts is how we can install multiple oracle versions in a single server. a server will be having only one version of operating system. suppose like if we assume our os is linux 4.7 we can install only 10g and 11g. but how we can install 8i and 9i database versions.
how all these oracle versions are going to be install in a single server.
please clear my doubts.
thanks a lot...!

thanks a lot...!Each lives in its own ORACLE_HOME. If, as it seems from your comments, you have no problem with the concept of the 10g and 11g both on the same server, why should the addition of 8.x and 9.x be any different?

Want to use single oracle home for multiple database releases

Hi,
I have following 3 different databases.
Oracle7 Server Release 7.3.4.4.0

Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit
I want to access these databases using single oracle home. Please advise which client version I have to install to access these. I tried using Oracle Release 9.2.0.1.0 client but I am not able to connect to oracle 7 by using this.I am ready to have multiple oracle homes.But what client version I have to install and where can I get it.Your help will be highly appreciated.

... and 7 is using oracle 8.1.7 client.From your sales representative. 8i is no longer available for downloading,because desupported since many years.

Pls help!Can Oracle v7 support WebSphere Application Server instead of Oracle 8i

Hi,
I am using WebSphere as my application server and NT4.0 as OS.
I wish to connect to Oracle db which is located at another server.
Currently what I have is Oracle Client Software v7.3.4. There is error when I want to start the service.
So I suspect that it is not compatible and it might require Oracle 8i in web environmt and to support WebSphere Application Server as well.
Can anybody help me? Thank you.

Hello,
I guess you could get that to work as somebody was able to use WebLogic as webserver: http://christopherbeck.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/weblogic-server-and-apex/
Alternatively you could use the Embedded PLSQL Gateway if you don't want to install Apache (depending database version you are on).

I have executed report having this function before oracle upgrade and it works fine.
But when i am trying to execute report after oracle version upgrade from 11.2.0.3.0 to 11.2.0.4.0 with same data report fails with runtime error Rep-1401: '' Fatal PL/SQL Error.
With New version we tried to typecast Text column from clob to varchar and executed report then it works... but report runs on old version without any explicit typecasting.
Please note when i run and call this funtion from sql developer with upgraded database version it works fine.
Please advise.

This error can possibly depend on the fact that the PL/SQL engines are in different versions. When using SQL Developer you use the PL/SQL engine in the database. When using Oracle Reports you use the PL/SQL engine in the Oracle Reports Server (Web Logic Server even maybe). These versions - in the Forms and Reports realm - are different (read: a lower version) than the PL/SQL engine in the database.
If I check what version I have in Oracle Forms, as an example, I get 11.1.0.7.0 (Help in the Oracle Forms Builder menu) but in the database I have (select * from product_component_version;) 11.2.0.3.0.
That COULD be your issue...how to fix it I am not sure...

How can I find out the database version from an old backupset

Hi,
I have to restore a database using an old backupset (4 years ago) to a new database. My challenge is we don't know what version of the database were used back then. Is there anyway I can find this information. We are using the RMAN catalog.
Or is RMAN restore and recovery can be used to a newer version than the backupset?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sosan Fong

Thanks for the reply and suggestion.
We are using its own software for all databases hosted in the server. So I need to cleanup and reinstall after tested in 11g. A little bit more work, but if it works, that's ok. Is there any other suggestions?

Supporting Multiple OO4O Versions

Is it possible for an application to support two different versions of the OO4O C++ Class Library without having to compile two different versions of said application? We'd like our application to be able to support an 8i AND a 9i version of OO4O. Based on research thus far, this doesn't sound like a viable option, but I'd like another developer to confirm this. Thanks.

I have run into a problem with using a Visual Basic 6 application written for Oracle 8i (8.1.7) client and OO4O. It was built and runs on Windows 2000 and XP Pro.
The application does not work with the Oracle 9i Release 2 client running on Windows XP Pro. Even though we do have MDAC 2.8 and the VB6 runtime installed. Not sure if it had service packs for VB6 or not.
As a matter of fact, the Oracle 9i client install does not even install OO4O. We had to download and install ODAC for 9i.
The strange thing is we do not get an error on the 9i client even though the password does not get changed.
Anybody have any updates on OO4O having upwards and backwards compatibility? Are there certain service packs or hot fixes that need to be installed? Is there some conflict happening?
Or could I use the typelib from 8i OO4O (oip8.tlb) in the 9i client for it to work?Maybe late binding should have been used instead of early binding?
Would like to upgrade the 8i servers and clients to 9iR2, but this problem is preventing that form happening. Had to uninstalll the 9i client and then install the 8i client for the application to work.

How Can I Login To Multiple User Accounts Simultaneously

I am using an Intel iMac (2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with 1GB of memory and 10.4.11. I have Fast User Switching enabled. I restart the Mac every morning. Then I login to a second user account. While at work, I access these accounts via VNC.
Sometimes I forget to login to the second user account. I do it from work via VNC, which sometimes causes complications.
Does OSX support simultaneous multiple user account login? If not, is there a work-around solution such as an AppleScript? This would provide a time savings to me, as well as a convenience if I forgot to login to the second user account before leaving home.
Thank you.
Kurt R. Todoroff

Seems to me, in another discussion, the simple Fast User Switching does not
do much really fast or automatically; there are a few faster steps than having
to log into each and every account change (even when FUS is enabled) so
this later development sounds a little more automatic, esp over a distance.
Is there a third party app or valid script that an do the multiple logins automatic
after the first-run; so passwords need not be re-entered, and the screen can just
switch over "fast" to another open account window, ready to go to work in there?
{And not just a keyboard shortcut to save a few little steps, overall.}
Whichever way the road turns...
Good luck & happy computing!

Oracle 11gR2 Cluster - Multiple Database

Hi ,
We have a 2 node Cluster (11gR2) hosting a database . In addition to this database , can we additional separate databases levereging the same oracle clusterware .

Hi,
Short answer: Yes, that is the idea behind Grid or Database Cloud Computing: To consolidate on the Grid Infrastructure platform.
Long answer: It depends.
In general this is a good idea and not a problem. However you will (like in all consolidation environments) be sharing same resources.
So you have to split the memory (between the databases) and care for not overloading CPU (e.g. with setting the CPU_COUNT parameter) or Storage I/O.

Hi,
I've VICS 4010 - 850 document and am trying to create ecs and xsd file out of it, using b2b - Document Editor tool. The tool throws an error at GS08, version / release, stating "GSO8 is a coded segment and the value 004010VICS is not allowed in this segment".
Question:
Does b2b product and document editor, support VICS standard? If yes, then please guide me through the process of creating ecs and xsd file and also the protocol to be used while defining the business actions in Integration B2B.

Dear user13295317,
Here is the error explanation;
Oracle Error :: TNS-12533
TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters
Cause
An illegal set of protocol adapter parameters was specified.
In some cases, this error is returned when a connection cannot be made to the protocol transport.
Action
Verify that the destination can be reached using the specified protocol.
Check the parameters within the ADDRESS section of TNSNAMES.ORA.
Legal ADDRESS parameter formats may be found in the Oracle operating system specific documentation for your platform.
Protocols that resolve names at the transport layer (such as DECnet object names) are vulnerable to this error if not properly configured or names are misspelled.Hope That Helps.

Can join queries in Oracle 8i and above span multiple databases

Hi,
In Oracle 8i and above, can join queries span multiple databases??
For eg., I have two databases A and B, and say database A has table A_T and
database B has table B_T. Assume that both the databases are on the same
server.
Can I run a join query from my application using OCI calls that spans across
tables from multiple databases, namely, A_T and B_T?
My query probably looks like this - Select * from A.A_T, B.B_T;
Thank you,
Sashi

My query probably looks like this - Select * from A.A_T, B.B_T;If you create a database link from database A to B your SQL would look something like this:
select * from A.A_T, B.B_T@dbB where A.A_T.PK = B.B_T.PK@dbB
The Oracle manuals should have the information you need on creating a database link.

Autosys job scheduler on windows environment ,can oracle support?

Hi,
Intially i am used dbms_scheduler to schedule pl/sql jobs that's working fine,But according to client standards
need to schedule pl/sql jobs using autosys to run on windows, Can Oracle 11g support autosys to schedule pl/sql
jobs run on windows environment(version 5), If so what package oracle package will be used ? How to schedule,
provide me some documentation please.
Thanks in Advance
Ganesh

Dbms_scheduler is a much much much more mature product than any thid party tool.
Also, why schedule PL/SQL outside the database (likely exposing passwords) when it can be done inside the database (without exposing password)
Please ask the client why they want by this 'requirement' to stick to obsolete technology.
They pay for dbms_scheduler, and they don't need autosys
(and yes, I consulted autosys documentation for free on your behalf)
Other than that: your request to provide autosys documentation in an Oracle forum must be judged inappriopriate and points to refusal to do your own research.

Can we get Multiple production versions in APO

Hi,
Is there a way to get multiple production versions into APO, as the info record( we are using) is what drive the creation of the PDS in APO from ECC
Is there a way to find out how we can have multiple production versions in APO.
Thanks
Maddy

Maddy,
Standard functionality in APO is to support multiple production versions.
Production Versions are a standard object in ECC. They consist of a combination of a Bill of Materials, a Routing, and a few other bits of data. For a given material/plant combination in ECC, there can be many Production Versions.
Production Version - Repetitive Manufacturing (PP-REM) - SAP Library
These Production Versions are integrated in standard CIF via either Production Process Model or Production Data Structure.
Integration of Production Process Models - Integration of Master Data - SAP Library
Integration of Production Data Structures Generated from R/3 Mas - Integration of Master Data - SAP Library
