Compatibility of Oracle 8.1.7(please Help)

Hi all,
We are currently on Oracle 8.1.7 on NT with 1gb ram.
We are going for a server upgrade. But we are not planning to currently upgrade Oracle.
Server:
Dual processor XEON with 4gb ram and Windows 2000 Professional Server
Will Oracle 8.1.7 work on Windows 2000 Professional? Or is it better to still use NT?
Are there any patches available for Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows 2000 Professional
Can we install 8.1.7 on a XEON Processor? Will XEON support oracle 8.1.7? or should we go for
Itanium?
Anybody please help.

Now i have convinced them to go for a Oracle upgrade ie 9i Release 2.
Well we are using forms and reports 6i on 8.1.7 Database.
When we change to 9i Release 2 will there be any problems with forms and reports?
Please do help as we are not planning to upgrade client. Only server is to be upgraded.
So server Oracle 9i Release 2
Client Oracle 8.1.7
App Forms and Reports 6i
Are there any things I should take into consideration beforehand.
Will 9i Release 2 work on Win 2003 SErver
Thanks in advance,
sanju

My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!

Hi,
You could use FND_FLEX_LOADER_APIS.UP_VALUE_SET_VALUE to upload them from staging table (I suppose you mean value set values...).
You can find a sample scripts if you google around.
What do you mean "how to map any API to our staging table" ?
You should do at least the following mapping (which column(s) in the staging table will provide these information):
- the 3 value sets name which you're going to update/upload (I suppose these are existing value sets or which have been already created)
- the value set values and description
Try to start with something and if there is any issues the community could then help... but for the time being with the description of the problem you have provided, that's the best I can do...

Problems with Oracle XE on XP - Please help!

Hi,
I have oracle XE installed on my machine and it was working absolutely fine for the last year or so. Today there was an trojan intrusion which caused some issues with my windows xp OS like hiding some files, desktop etc. After everything was cleaned up and things back to normal. I am having issues with XE.
I can start and stop XE with out any issues and When I use the run sql command line, I can connect using - connect sys/sys as sydba and I can also run a query to see all the users and see the HR user also.
However, 1. When I connect to my hr user using connect hr/password@xe, it just hangs
2. I tried the- go to Oracle XE admin page but it just hangs for a long time and returns page cannot be found.
3. I can tnsping the xe instance.
Not sure what the issue is? I am not a DBA and don't have much knowledge on this. Is a fresh install the only option? or is there any way to correct this using the sys/sys user?
I have pasted the listenor.log and listenor.ora details below. I tried a fresh install after removing XE. but the same issue!
Please help!
Thanks,
Nikita

Oracle 9ias wireless libraries Please help me!!!1

i have downloaded jwe prerelease version.After i did required steps but i still can't use oracle.wireless.me.sql,soda,push,lbs,yplite libraries what must i do?Please help me

Ok...
I'm on my main (hard wired) PC and with the AE in the Living Room connected by ethernet and with wireless extension on, here's what I see when I select a track on my iPhone:
[IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/n1zz3r/8be606a0.jpg[/IMG]
Here's what I get from my main PC when I run the Airport Utility:
[IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/n1zz3r/AEScan1.png[/IMG]
The only way I can get to the device is by opening a config file that I saved when I mapped to it previously by I.P address.
When I do that, here's what I see:
[IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/n1zz3r/AE2.png[/IMG]
And as you can see, it's picking up a wifi address (.96).
My router shows 2 entries for the AE-192.168.1.94 (ethernet/inactive-called "base-station-004f57") and 192.168.1.96 (wifi/active-called "airportexpress").
Here are some more pics of the AE's pages:

Do I need to install oracle 8i or 9i Please help

Hi,
I am a newbie to Redhat linux and Oracle. I have Redhat 9.0 installed on my machine. Now I have a doubt whether to install Oracle 9i or 8i. Some of my friends told me that Oracle 8i is very easier to configure than Oracle 9i. I think I am not fit for a tough configuration as I am a newbie. This is true? Is Oracle 9i is very difficult to configure than Oracle 8i? My aim is to get familiar with the Oracle and its all the features and to seriously play around with the good features of Oracle. So should I go for Oracle 9i? As I am a newbie, Is it nessessary to go for Oracle 9i?
Please help me . I am waiting for your answer to get proceed with the Installation.
Lot of Thanks in Advance.
Waiting for your respondse.
Bye
Thanks and Regards
Emmanuel mathew

Hi,
unfortunately you will have more general problems. Neither 8i nor 9i is certified for Red Hat 9. The certification matrix shows support for Red Hat 7.0 and 7.1 (9i) and for Red Hat 7.0/7.1/6.x (8i). That does not necessarily mean, it won't work at all, but Oracle doesn't give any support. In general, you should prefer 9i, you have much more options. If you perform, as a first step, a standard installation, it's not harder than an 8i installation.
Good luck
Werner

ClassNotFound Error with Oracle 10g...please help!

Hello everyone!
I am currently using jdk 1.4.2_10 with Oracle 10g. I tried to connect to the database, like this:
try{
String driverName = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
String serverName = "***.***.*.*";
String portNumber = "****";
String sid = "****";
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + serverName + ":" + portNumber + ":" + sid;
String usr = "*****";
String pwd = "*****";
//Load the JDBC driver
Class.forName(driverName);
//Connect to the base
connect = DriverManager.getConnection(url,usr,pwd);
catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Error---No database driver");
catch(SQLException s){
System.out.println("Error---No connection to the database");
Here is what's in my classpath, (i added the ojdbc14.jar) :
c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_2\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip
Can anyone please help me?
It's really a problem, i've been searching for 2 days now.....
thank you

Most likely it is about
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
You need to include Oracle JDBC lib.
If you are using JDeveloper then:
In Project properties click on Libraries
Click AddLibrary
In the list that appears choose Oracle JDBC

Oracle RAC + HDS User Please help Migration Topic

Hi DBA/Storage Admin,
I have following issue that need your help (is a Solaris + Oracle 10g):
1. We are going to migrate data center, we going to move physical server BUT we are going to purchase new Hitachi Storage.
2. We are going to use Hitachi TrueCopy to clone all the OCR, Vote Disk and ASMDisks
In the server I have following softlink created:
/dev/rdsk/myrac/ocr -> /dev/rdsk/myolddisk1d0s0
/dev/rdsk/myrac/votedisk -> /dev/rdsk/myolddisk2d0s0
/dev/rdsk/myrac/asmdisk -> /dev/rdsk/myolddisk3d0s0
What I am going to do is to recreate the softlink to the new LUN, then change the permission to either root:oinstall and oracle:oinstall and 640 or 660 accordingly.
/dev/rdsk/myrac/ocr -> /dev/rdsk/newdisk1d0s0
/dev/rdsk/myrac/votedisk -> /dev/rdsk/newdisk2d0s0
/dev/rdsk/myrac/asmdisk -> /dev/rdsk/newdisk3d0s0
Please help me will above plan worked?
Thanks for sharing.

I cannot advise on the detail of your proposed method, but may I ask one question: are you certain that you have the best approach? If it is possible to mount the old and the new storage on the same node(s), then you can move the disk groups to the new storage by using ASM to relocate file extents, and you can also move the OCR and vote devices. All with zero downtime,

Oracle Express Batch Manager-Please Help me out-urgent

Dear all,
I have created a Relational Access Administrator project and mapped an Express Datamodel with RDBMS lookup and fact tables and created a Maintenance Procedure Using "Express Database Maintenance" from "Relational Access Administrator". After that when I tried to run that "Procedure" using "Batch Manager", it creates a Command definition file "~5848371.cmd" and nothing is showing in the "Job Monitor" tab of "Batch Manager". At the same time since it could not run the procedure, no Express database have been created to the specified path.
Please help me out, as I am in need for this very badly. I have gone through the document "Relational Access Administrator(User Guide)" from otn.oracle.com, but nowhere such type of problem have been addressed.
Thanking you in advance,
regards,

Installation Problem Developer 6i/Oracle 8/Windows NT4 Please help.

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle Developer 6i and Oracle 8
under Windows NT platform. I had several kind of problem. Atlast
I found the installation tips very help and followed it step by
step. Still I am facing the problem. Let me explain what i did,
step by step,
1.downloaded the Oracle forms self extract file. Unzipped. Ran
the Setup.exe.
2.This prepared for Oracle Developer installation. I selected
default path and home(d:\ORANT and home_Default). Selected
oracle forms and installed it.
3.Repeated step 2 to install reports 6i.
4.Restarted the system.
5.Created another directory d:\orantnew
6.Used the Oracle 8 CD and installed using the Autorun.Selected
different path and oracle Home this time.(D:\orantnew and
home_New).
7. Selected the Oracle Enterprise Edition option and did the
installation.Rebooted the system.
8. Did the TCP/IP changes explained in the Step (5) and Step (6)
given below in Mr.Krishna's reply.
9. Tried to start the listner by following Step (7) the listener
won't start.
10. Went ahead and copied the TNSNAMES.
Connected to SQL*Plus using Start/Program/Oracle-OracntNew using
SCOTT/TIGER and connect went thru.
Then tried "CONNECT" from form builder, won't connect. I think
the error message was some thing related to TNS..(Since I have
uninstalled all the Oracle components now i can't give the exact
error.Sorry). I would like to know if there is anything I am
doing wrong or missing out something.
Note : While uninstalling the oracle components i had problem
removing the bin directory. So I had to stop some of the
services
(OracleServiceORC1 and OracleStartORC1 from
start/controlpanel/services option) in order to delete the
oracle components.
Please someone let me know how can I install Oracle 8 and Oracle
Developer 6i,in windows NT platform.
Incase if i am doing anything wrong in the above given step or
missing out something pl let me know.
Thanks.
Extracted from another thread
Hi, >Try these steps, but you need to change a few things for Win2000 even I am trying, but Listener does'nt start there is a
problem I am looking into it, If you find the solution pl let me
know, these work fine on Win95/98 I have tried and they all work
fine.>-------------------------------------------->Installing
Personal Oracle 8. 1. 6. 0. 0 with Developer v6i (Reports 6. 0.
8. 8. 3, Forms 6. 0. 8. 0. 9)>On Windows 98>Note: All other
combinations may or may not work.> If you want to install
designer as well, do it now.
** Clean all Oracles off the computer using the following instructions. (Windows 95 and
Windows 98)
1. In regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
3. Delete the ORACLE key.
4. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC pertaining to Oracle.
5. Delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ODBC pertaining to Oracle.
6. Edit your AUTOEXE.BAT file and remove your %ORACLE_HOME%\bin and JRE paths from the path settings.
7. From the Windows Explorer (or from the command prompt), delete the Oracle Directory
(Oracle Base).
8. Delete < System_Drive > C:\Program Files\Oracle (from the Windows NT Explorer or from the command
prompt).
9. Delete Icons from < System_Drive> C:\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\Oracle - <HOME> and <System_Drive>
C:\Windows\StartMenu\Oracle Installation Products. Where<HOME>
is the previous HOME name.
10. Reboot the system.
Installing Developer 6i(Forms and Reports)
1. Download the file from OTN site or Install from the CD. Install the installer. It will go
into a new default Oracle home that it will create. When you go
to install your Developer CD, close the installer that comes up
with the CD autorun. Go to the programs menu and Oracle for
Windows 95 and click on the installer there. Once it is open,
browse to the CD you wish to install. (installr/install/us)
2. Start installer. Install Developer 6i first to default directory, Orawin95 How? Start installer, follow the prompts
that appear on the screen, you may have to do this twice, once
for Oracle Forms and once for Oracle Reports, after the
installation is successful reboot the system.
3. If you want to install Designer 6 as well, do it now. (But I have not installed
the Designer ) Designer has to be installed before PO 8. 1. 6,
because PO816 can detect only one Oracle_home.
4. Create a new folder on your root directory called Orawin98. Start the installer set-up from where you downloaded it and
select Orawin98 to install it in this time. You also need to
give this second home a name whatever you want, but through out
the process, you have to use the identical name, that is
critical. Orawin98 indicates this name in these instructions. Do
not reboot. Install Oracle 8.1.6 to the directory Orawin98 using
the installer. Reboot the system.
5. Go to Start/Setting/Control Panel/Network, if you do not have TCP/IP installed, install it
now, if you do, highlight TCP/IP, click properties. Select DNS
tab, select enable DNS, at the host area, type "Orawin98", leave
domain empty. Go to Identification Tab and enter your database
name, in this case BBM. Reboot the system after you finish.
6. Configure your database listener. Go to Start/Programs/Oracle- Orawin98/Network Admistration/Net8
Assistant, a window will pop
up, at the window expand Local and expand Listeners and double
click it, you will see a new window, go through all the tab
menus. At location address 1, Host name: use "Orawin98", Port
use: 1521 (default). And at location address 2, Host name:
use "Orawin98", Port use: 2481, go to the file/ save, close Net8
Assistant.
7. Start listener how? Go to Dos Window, type LSNRCTL, return, at LSNRCTL>, type Start. Listener should start
successfully, if not, you need to go back to Net8 Assistant to
check configuration.
8. Copy file "TNSNAMES" in directory C:\Orawin98\Net80\Admin to C:\oraein95\Net80\Admin.
9. You are finished.
10. To connect Forms/Reports/SQLPLUS to database - First start the
Listener, then start the database. Next, go to File menu in
Forms/Reports and select Connect. Type in user name and password
(system/manager or whatever) in this case it is SCOTT/TIGER and
the database name is your "DATABASENAME". When you want to quit
you need to exit from file menu of Forms/Reports, then you need
to stop Listener and then shut down database.
11. You can rename your computer name in your original name. (for local networks)
Let me know if it is working.>null

Install Forms in one directory (You can have reports in the same
directory).
Install oracle DB in another directory.
Don't change any file and reboot.
The listener will start automatically as a service.
(If not from a command line write "lsnrctl start" to start it).
To connect from forms/report to the DB you need to activate the
sqlnet easy config tool from the directory where forms is.
Follow the wizard to define an entry in the tnsnames.ora file
automatically.
Then you can use your forms with the DB.
(IF you get problems it usually helps to let us know the error
code you get so we can direct you in the correct direction).

MAPPING FLAT FILE TO ORACLE ERROR!! Please help

hello all
I am using OWB on Oracle9i.
Trying to map flat file (file.txt) to oracle table,
Validate: okey, some warning
Generate/Deploy: successful.
But when I check to the database sqlplus there is no rows existed. I verify that I connect to the right database.
My question is:
When doing a map from flat file to oracle table. Do I have to have some thing in the middle such as (filter, join) or I just can do a straight mapping if I don't have any condition to filter out.
Please response if you know the answer.
Your answer greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help
Regards,

If you are using an OWB version which is 9.0.3.x or earlier, to load a flat file into the database, you should generate SQL loader files and run them either manually or by using a scheduler.
The new version (9.0.4) supports external tables, so you don't have to use SQL loader. Please refer to the user manual for more details.

Igor

When i run sql script in oracle 11g R 2 sql plus. It returns me with an error "missing right parenthesis" Error in last line. Simply its not accepting contraints in which i run them. Details as follows
Thankful for the help
create table courses (code varchar2(8) constraint S_PK primary key, description varchar2(30) constraint S_DESC_NN not null, category char(3) constraint C_CAT_NN not null, duration number(2) constraint C_DUR_NN not null, constraint C_CODE_CHK check (code = upper(code)), constraint C_CAT_CHK check (category in (`GEN', `BLD', `DSG')));
If i run above sql script, it says missing right parenthesis in the last line i.e * constraint C_CAT_CHK check (category in (`GEN', `BLD', `DSG')))
AGAIN:
create table courses (code varchar2(8) constraint S_PK primary key, description varchar2(30) constraint S_DESC_NN not null, category char(3) constraint C_CAT_NN not null, duration number(2) constraint C_DUR_NN not null);
Again If i run the above without checks, it gives the error of missing the right parenthesis in the last line i.e * constraint C_DUR_NN not null

Hi

PrinterJob Problem in Oracle AS 10.3, Please help?

Dear all,
Good day,
I have a problem with Oracle AS 10.3,
When I try to execute this code :
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
pj.printDialog();
The following execption will be appear:
1. JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: java.awt.HeadlessException, msg=null
2. java.awt.HeadlessException
But when I use Jdeveloper Runtime AS (http://localhost:8889) ever think is okay.
Thanks,
Yad Swdad Tahir

In Oracle Application Server, which I assume you are using (please be more specific with the environment if you can) OC4J is run in AWT headless mode:
<data id="java-options" value="-Xrs -server -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -ms512M -mx1024M -XX:AppendRatio=3 -Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dhttp.webdir.enable=false"/>
Which corresponds to the error message you are seeing.
This setting is provided to allow the JVM to start without needing an XWindows environment available and a display environment variable set to point to it.
If you want to change the behaviour then what I'd be trying to do is to add an environment variable setting to set the DISPLAY value, ensure you have a valid graphical environment and then change the java.awt.headless to false and see if that resolves the problem.
Google for the java.awt.headless property and the exception and see what other people say about it.

Connecting to Oracle database from ASP = please help!

i have tried every kind of combination of connection string to connect to a 9i database from ASP but it does not work!
I am using XP Professional and have 9i Developer and ODP.NET installed but I want to use OLE DB (Oracle or Microsoft) to access the database. I have a feeling the web page is not seeing the driver. here is my code:
<% Option Explicit %>
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Oracle Data Access</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<%
Dim objConnection
Dim objRecordset
Set objConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
With objConnection
.ConnectionString = "Provider=MSDAORA;Data Source=obiwan;" & _
"User ID=user; Password=pass;"
.Open
Response.Write "ADO Provider=" & .Provider & "<BR>"
Set objRecordset = .Execute("SELECT sysdate, user FROM dual")
End With
</body>
</html>

Try using this connect string:
Provider=MSDAORA.1;Password=tiger;User ID=scott;Data Source=ORA92;Persist Security Info=True
substitute your username/password and Data Source here.
This works on Windows2000 with Microsoft OLEDB provider
for Oracle.
