Change oracle word size (32 bit to 64 bit oracle on Solaris 10 OS)

Hi Folks,
I have installed Oracle Ebusiness Suite 11i on Solaris 10 platform (Sparc)
The default installation comes with oracle 9i database which is 32bit size.
Now I want to upgrade it to Oracle 10.2.0.2 64 bit.
Should I perform the 'normal' database upgrade ?
Are there any additional steps reqd for 64bit upgrade?
Thanks,
Rane

Please refer to the following notes:

Oracle word size change 32 to 64

Hi all
I am looking to change the wordsize of the present Oracle installation. Can anyone tell me
1. Help to find the required software/patch
2. Some guide/help link or doc with the steps to do so.
Thanks

Check OSS Notes 192822 & 940811 as a starting point. It's a relatively painless migration. There may be other relevant notes depending on your platform (e.g. Windows x86_64).

Migrating EBS from 32-bit to 64-bit

Hi,
I have a R12 Instance(12.1.3) with 11.1.0.7 database on 32-bit Linux. Now we are planning to do a clone of the existing R12 Instance to a newly created 64-bit Linux server. So i would like to know the steps involved in migrating the E-Business Suite from 32-bit to 64-bit.
Regards,
Vineel.C

I had gone through the Metalink Note[471566.1] which you had sent me. It was useful but internally it had referred to another Note:762669.1 which says in Migrate from Linux 32-bit to Linux 64-bit
h.Upgrade the database from 32-bit to 64-bit (recompile pl/sql modules and change the word size) by running $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql. Refer to the usage and notes sections in the script for instructions on how to run it.
But in general utlrp.sql is used for compiling Invalid objects.
Can you elaborate on this.Because of the word size change (from 32-bit to 64-bit), the database objects will be invalidated and you need to run utlrp.sql script to compile them.

Where can I change the buffer size for LKM File to Oracle (EXTRENAL TABLE)?

Hi all,
I'd a problem on the buffer size the "LKM File to Oracle (EXTRENAL TABLE)" as follow:
2801 : 72000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P000
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04020: found record longer than buffer size supported, 524288, in D:\OraHome_1\oracledi\demo\file\PARTIAL_SHPT_FIXED_NHF.dat
Do you know where can I change the buffer size?
Remarks: The size of the file is ~2Mb.
Tao

Hi,
The behavior is explained in Bug 4304609 .
You will encounter ORA-29400 & KUP-04020 errors if the RECORDSIZE clause in the access parameters for the ORACLE_LOADER access driver is larger than 10MB and you are loading records larger than 10MB. Which means their is a another limitation on read size of a record which is termed as granule size. If the default granule size is less then RECORDSIZE it limits the size of the read buffer to granule size.
Use the pxxtgranule_size parameter to change the size of the granule to a number larger than the size specified for the read buffer.You can use below query to determine the current size of the granule.
SELECT KSPFTCTXPN PARAMETER_NUMBER,
KSPPINM PARAMETER_NAME,
KSPPITY PARAMETER_TYPE,
KSPFTCTXVL PARAMETER_VALUE,
KSPFTCTXDF IS_DEFAULT,
KSPPIFLG MODIFICATION_FLAG,
KSPFTCTXVF VALUE_FLAG
FROM X$KSPPI X, X$KSPPCV2 Y
WHERE (X.INDX+1) = KSPFTCTXPN AND
KSPPINM LIKE '%_px_xtgranule_size%';
There is no 'ideal' or recommended value for pxxtgranule_size parameter, it is safe to increase it to work around this particular problem. You can set this parameter using ALTER SESSION/SYSTEM command.
SQL> alter system set "_px_xtgranule_size"=10000;

I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently. And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing. what am I missing?

I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently. And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing. what am I missing?

You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

How to change redo log size in oracle 10g

Hi Experts,
Can anybody confirm how to change redo log size in oracle 10g?
Amit

Dear Amit,
You can enlarge the size of existing Online Redo log files, by adding new groups with different size of files (origlog$/mirrlog$) and then carefully droping the old groups with their associated inactive files.
Please refer SAP Note 309526 - Enlarging redo log files to perform the activity.
Steps to perform:
STEP-1. Analyze the exisiting situation and prepare an action plan.
A. You have to ensure that no more than one log switch per minute occurs during peak times.
It may also be necessary to increase the size of the online redo logs until they are large enough.
Too many log switches lead to too many checkpoints, which in turn lead to a high writing load in the I/O subsystem.
Use ST04 -> Additional Functions --> Display GV$-Views
There you can select
Gv$LOG_HISTORY --->for determing your existing LOG switching frequency.
GV$LOG -
> list the status(INACTIVE/CURRENT/ACTIVE) /size/sequence no. of existing online redolog files
GV$LOGFILE --- > list the information of existing online redolog files with their storage paths
You can document the existing situation of Online Redo Log Fiile management before going to enlarge Redo Log Files.
It will be helpful, if something goes wrong while performing activities.
B. Based on above Situation analysis, Plan your New Redo Log Group and there Members with new optimal size.
e.g.
Group No.         Redo Log File Locations u201C/oracle/<SID>/u201D                  Size
                             /origlogA                  /mirrlogA
15                        log_g15m1.dbf         log_g15m2.dbf               100 MB
17                        log_g17m1.dbf            log_g17m2.dbf               100 MB
                            /origlogB                    /mirrlogB
16                       log_g16m1.dbf          log_g16m2.dbf            100 MB
18                       log_g18m1.dbf            log_g18m2.dbf            100 MB

Migration of Oracle 32-bit to 64-bit on same Windows host.

Hi,
Title: Migration of Oracle 32-bit to 64-bit on same Windows host.
We have windows host x64 bit. Oracle is 10g 32 bit and we want to migrate it to 10g 64 bit. I would like to know the steps. Note 940811 is not clear enough.
Please help.
Many thanks,
Mohan.

Hi,
I think SAP Note 940811 is not relevant to your case as far as I understand your case in your previous thread because you are already on oracle 10.2 and there is no upgrade required.
Please check SAP note 192822 and please check below extract from this note:
      5. Can I switch to 64-bit, even though I already run the same oracle release on 32-bit?
      Yes. The only thing that needs to be done is
run del_ora.csh to delete the 32-bit software
install the 64-bit software
start the database.
As the wordsize changes with 64-bit, all pl-sql-predures should be recompiled.
      Therefore please run the following two scipts on db-level:
      @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlip.sql -invalidates all plsql-procedures
      @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql -recreates the plsql-procedures with the new word size
Thanks

Migration of Oracle 32-bit to 64-bit

Hi,
We have windows host x64 bit. Oracle is 10g 32 bit and we want to migrate it to 10g 64 bit.
1. We have installed the 64bit oracle software.
2. Then we uninstalled the 32bit software. With the uninstallation, the oracle services have also disappeared.
Now, there are no Oracle services seen under My Computer - Manage - Services, how to create the new Oracle services??
Please help.
Many thanks,
Mohan.

Hello Markus,
Thank you for your reply. We have managed to re-create the Oracle Services in other way as mentioned below. May be useful for other users:
1. Stop the DB, stop listener, stop other oracle processes.
2. Install the new DB software in a different home + Patch
3. Only after that, delete the old software.
4. Set the Environment variables $ORACLE_HOME and $PATH
(Nicht alle Variablen waren sauber gesetzt)
5. copy the files present under $ORACLE_HOME/database from old DB to new DB.
6. Create the Listener - Service with $ORACLE_HOME/bin/netca
7. Create the SID - Service with oradim ($ORACLE_HOME/bin)
oradim -NEW -SID FFF -STARTMODE auto -SRVCSTART system
8. start the database using sqlplus.
9. As the wordsize changes with 64-bit, all pl-sql-predures should be recompiled.
Therefore please run the following two scipts on db-level:
sqlplus sys as sysdba
sql> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlip.sql -invalidates all plsql-procedures
sql> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql -recreates the plsql-procedures with the new word size.
10. Offline - Backup with brbackup.
Many thanks,
Mohan.

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

I think there may be more to this question than you say.
If your PDF page is say, 8 x 12 inches, and you found a way to scale it to 25%, changing it to 2 x 3 inch, shrinking everything on the page to quarter size - wouldn't it look exactly the same on the iPhone? It's just going to be the same as zooming.
Or were you hoping for something more like in Word, where changing the page size keeps everything the same size and spreads it over more pages? That isn't something you can do.

When printing mailing labels from Contacts how do I change the label size?

I want to print mutliple labels from a group in Contacts. I can print 20 labels per page but I want to print 14. I have tried every option in the pop up window but nothing lets me change the label size,

Hi 786menzies,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that your print jobs from Photosmart 5520 seems very small.
The font size is controlled by the software program that the document was created in, for example any Microsoft Word document that you send to the printer the font size would have been chosen in Microsoft Word. I've included two different documents on how to change the print settings; one for Mac and one for Windows 8. These documents will show you the process on changing print settings if not the actual steps as you may not be using one of the operating systems mentioned.

Oracle RAC 11g on Windows 2008 64 bit - blue screen error on both nodes

Hi Everyone,
I installed Oracle RAC 11g on Windows 2008 64 bit, The installation was successfull and crs_state -t shows all services in two nodes are online.
When executed a select query with 100 sessions( For performance evaluation using Transaction generator ) ,the machine got crashed and blue screen is appeared on two nodes. I restrated the machines and and starts the same evaluation ,bt the same bug is repeating.
Can anyone suggest a solution to solve this issue? Is our hardware is not sufficient ? Shall we need to perform any
specific settings in Oracle RAC setup for performance evaluations?
Is our settings for load balancing is not enough? ( We added "Load Balancing= On" on tnsnames.ora on client for load
balancing)
The following machine configuration is used for Oracle RAC setup
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz,
Ram :4GB.
OS : windows 2008 Server 64 Bit
Oracle RAC 11g , Clusterware 11g R2 , ASM with 5 raw disk ( 1- votting disk ,1- ocr files and 3 disk files)

64-bit vs 32-bit Oracle on Win2003

Background:
Ive been tasked to come up with the appropriate hardware/software solution for my company, an MMOLG (Massively Multiple On-Line Gaming) enterprise as it gets ramped up for two huge game releases. We use My SQL (4.x) for managing the Web Front-end, MS SQL 2000 Servers to manage the games, and Oracle to manage the billing application on the back-end. The billing application is also used for authentication (registration of new subscribers, credit card validations) and authorization (what games each subscriber can play, is their account up to date, etc.). We currently support our billing application using 32-bit Oracle (9.2.0.4) on 32-bit, clustered Win2k, using Failsafe (3.3.2) on MSCS (1.0). We have the first new game-to-be-released in Beta, and, to date, I have a similar setup except that the Oracle is 9.2.0.6, Failsafe is 3.3.3, and MSCS is 1.1. Originally, I was given to understand that each of the two new games were to be on separate Oracle instances, but now my management wants both games to be run from the same instance. Our Marketing team spit out the anticipated subscriber/subscription #s recently, and the size of the #s has given me pause I question whether or not our current system will be able to handle the # of logins (for authorization and authentication) during the so-called land-rush (the games 1st week/month of release) and that period of time immediately following an upgrade to the game (where huge #s of gamers rush to get back to playing). I also need to consider the peak # of logins during the heaviest play period times. The minimum # of gamer logins/hour I need to account for is 5-7k/hour, and the high end could be upwards of 30-45k/hour (for both games, post-upgrade case). To me, that number of logins/hour is asking a lot Windows 32-bit, perhaps the impossible.
What Ive done to date:
First I made sure that I understood what I can do with Windows, and then implemented a base test on the Beta environment by setting up Windows for VLM management. I have both the /PAE and /3GB switches enabled (I have 8GB of RAM, so the /3GB switch gets me the extra 1GB memory for shared_pool w/o being the hindrance it would be if I was using 16GB+), and I have the AWE tailored to 768MB (the minimum that, via trial and error, that I could bring Oracle up under). This has allowed me to have a shared_pool of 320MB, a java_pool and large_pool of 152MB (more on the large_pool later). To date, Ive sized the buffer_cache at 5000MB (just to prove that I could do it, and see the results). So SGA is 5362MB. Ive set the Aggregate PGA Target to 256MB.
Ive looked at 64-bit Oracle on 64-bit Win2003. 64-bit Oracle 9.2.0.7 is certified on Win2003 (Itanium only, no certification yet for the really spiffy EM64T chip set). If dedicated will not cut it for the max login load, I could consider Shared mode, knowing that I get some performance hit. Going to 64-bit Theres some test data out there (Larry Pedigo, of Performance Tuning Corp. had a nice white paper), but Ive found little else. This seems, at first blush, the best choice for a Windows shop, but who knows? Ive come across one gotcha to date, the Failsafe Manager is only 32-bit (while Failsafe is 64-bit, why Oracle did that, I do not know), so has to be installed on a separate home, on a separate 32-bit Windows machine. Ive gotten it from Oracle Support that 32-bit Oracle Client will connect w/o issue to the 64-bit Oracle server, so having the various 32-bit applications used (on separate 32-bit Win2k machines) connect to the database is not a problem.
Ive looked at putting 32-bit Oracle on a 64-bit Win2003, so if the initial load/stress tests fails (at 5-7k logins/hour) I could easily migrate Oracle to the 64-bit. From what Ive read, I would expect the 32-bit Oracle to be way too slow.
Ive looked at going to RAC as it would buy me twice the memory for the pools.
Im just starting to look at moving to Oracle on UNIX. I have yet to estimate the total cost for doing so (early guess-timate is $750k), and Id have to bring a Unix Sys Admin on-board. Up to now, Turbine has been 90% Windows, 10% Linux.
Questions for the group:
Has anyone out there had this problem to tackle?
Am I correct in thinking that Windows 32-bit would be swamped by the anticipated load?
Is anyone running 64-bit Oracle on 64-bit Win2003? If so, did you get what you expected with respect to performance? Any obstacles that you had to overcome?
Has anyone suggestions as to configuration/environment that would help me?
Any responses would be a God-send to this poor, beleaguered DBA. Thanks very much (in advance).

Wow, you have a big task at hand, and it looks very fun to build.
I say you should consider 10g r2, as it will soon (or maybe already released) run on the AMD Opteron and the EM64T now that windows 2003 is set up for these processors.
If you are not ready to go 10g, then I would seriously consider RAC for the 9i database.
and I wouldn't install 32 bit on 64bit machine. Its not supported and would give you less than desirable results

How do you change the ont size

How do you change the font size for one word ?

Basically, you need to wrap the word in a <span> tag, and apply either a class or an inline style to the span. Using a class is better because you can reuse it in other pages, or other parts of the same page. Also, changing the font size in the class will apply the changes to all instances of the class. With an inline style, you have to change each one individually.
To wrap a word in a <span> tag, select the word, then press Ctrl+T (Cmd+T on a Mac) to bring up the Wrap Tag dialog. Type "sp" (without the quotes), and press Enter twice. Then create a class using the CSS Designer. Apply the class to the word by selecting it again, and select the class from the Class drop-down menu in the Property inspector.
To create an inline style, select the word, and click the CSS button on the left of the Property inspector. Select the font size you want from the Size drop-down menu. If the size you want isn't listed, just type the value in the Size field.

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP
How do you change the window size for Ebusiness Suite after you log in. Currently it displays at 100% of the screen. I want to set it smaller, at some %

I don't know if there is a way to set this. Some user's may prefer different sizes of window, depending on their job duties. For example, we have 170 Systems document management integrated with purchasing and payables so users shrink the Oracle window to fill about 60% of the screen while 170 uses the remaining 40% to display the scanned document.
