Configuring SHRAED SERVER in Oracle 9i

Can anybody please give the steps to configure SHARED_SERVER mode in Oracle 9i Windows XP environment .

In 9i to configure an instance in Shared Server mode you have to set at least 2 parameters:
* DISPATCHERS
* SHARED_SERVER
optional Initialization parameters for it:
* MAX_DISPATCHERS
* MAX_SHARED_SERVERS
* CIRCUITS
* SHARED_SERVER_SESSIONS
set up these parameters

How to configure Content server with Oracle Portal

I am working on oracle portal using JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0. I need to configure Content server to work with UCM. Which content server version should i use and what basic steps required to configure it.
OS environment is Windows XP SP3.
Database server is Oracle 10gR2

Hi
"I need to configure Content server to work with UCM." - I am not clear on this .
UCM is content server .
Now if you are looking to have UCM contents rendered on Oracle Portal then you will need to use Content Portlet Suite .

Create and configure reports server in Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2 on solaris 10

Hi All,
I have installed Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2 on Solaris 10. I want to create and configure a new reports server.
Please help as I can't see anything on metalink.
Thanks/Regards
Dirish

In fact when installing 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2, the default report server name looks like this REP60_TEST.INTNET.MU.
My original tnsnames.ora was like this
REP60_TEST.INTNET.MU =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = test.intnet.mu)(PORT = 1950))
I added an alias to the tnsnames.ora file
now my tnsnames.ora is like this
REP60TEST,REP60_TEST.INTNET.MU =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = test.intnet.mu)(PORT = 1950))
This is working fine
Thanks

Easiest way to Configuring backup server in oracle 8i

I want to make a backup server i.e database for my existing database in different server. For example: My existing server completely crashed. I am having backup of os level complete backup only. Please note that not useing export file. Please suggest.

It totally depends on your business requirements. If business requires something then you have to do it even though it is hard through the technology.
Oracle does provide the following two main things to ponder on.
1) Oracle Replication.
2) Oracle Data Guard.

Configuring Apache HTTP Server with Oracle Weblogic Server plugin

Hello friends,
I have a scenario of OIM 9.1.0.2 on Oracle Application Server 11g and Weblogic Server Apache HTTP Server.
Oracle WebLogic Server is configured in cluster (node1 and node2), also use the Oracle Weblogic Server plugin for integration with Apache.
One of the tests is to lose one of the nodes for the apache plugin redirects the node that has less overhead.
When the mode is node1 and node2 stop start mode and try to access the management console of Oracle Identity Manager, the plugin sometimes redirects to the other active node, and on another occasion shows the oracle management console identity manager without the colors of the basic look and feel.
Deputy of the Apache HTTP Server log, do you expect your comments to solve this case?

"One of the tests is to lose one of the nodes for the apache plugin redirects the node that has less overhead."
Note that the plug-in does a round robin load balancing, for example, in the case of three server (1,2,3) it does 1-2-3-1-2-3-1...
with server 3 going down it does 1-2-1-2-1...
An example configuration (with SSL off) looks as follows:
LoadModule weblogic_module   "/home/oracle/weblogic12.1.1/apache/modules/mod_wl.so"
<IfModule weblogic_module>
     ConnectTimeoutSecs 10
     ConnectRetrySecs 2

"the plugin sometimes redirects to the other active node"
This is somewhat strange, do you have session binding turned off?
"and on another occasion shows the oracle management console identity manager without the colors of the basic look and feel."
This could happen due to mime types (not really sure just a hunch). Here is a general story on this concept: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Properly_Configuring_Server_MIME_Types
and the apache module: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html

Oracle Configuration Manager Server is unavailable (500)

I have a few targets that report configuration to My Oracle Support using Oracle Configuration Manager. Everything was fine until last week, when I noticed that the Last Collection Date wasn't changing. When I try to manually collect, I get the following error:
E:\>ora11\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\ccr\bin\emccr collect
Oracle Configuration Manager - Release: 10.3.8.1.1 - Production
Copyright (c) 2005, 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Unable to determine if mandatory packages available.
Error encountered in retrieving update. Oracle Configuration Manager Server is u
navailable (500).
Collection and upload failed.
E:\>
Anybody else experiencing this same problem? If so, any ideas how to fix it?

Turns out this is expected, as Oracle is rolling out a database upgrade. This notice is posted on MOS:
Configuration Data in Read-Only Mode
We are making improvements to the database that holds configuration data for My Oracle Support. During this upgrade, the Customer Configuration Repository (CCR) is currently in read-only mode. You can view configuration data, but will not be able to upload new configurations or change configuration-related systems attributes. The CCR will remain in read-only mode until the planned My Oracle Support outage completes this weekend.
While CCR is in read-only mode, you will see an error message:
   In the related log file during an automatic attempt to upload a new configuration or for offline Collector users who upload their configuration as a Service Request attachment.
   On pages within My Oracle Support that access the configuration data

I configure the JServ , but Oracle HTTP Server doesn't work agian

my Oracle HTTP Server doesn't work after i've configured the JServ by Oracle Enterprise Manager.
when i run flowing command :
D:\oraias\dcm\bin>dcmctl getstate -v
and Error message : "ADMN-100999 Base Exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException:java.lang.Boolean" has shown.
and i navigate Enterprise Manager web site these Error Message showing:
"Your browser or operating system is not a supported client configuration for this version of Enterprise Manager. Using Enterprise Manager with your current client configuration may result in incorrect display of data or incorrect updates to configuration settings. See the release notes for information on supported client configurations. Root Cause: java.lang.Boolean. java.lang.Boolean"
how can i do? please help me.
THX

The key message -
mod_plsql: /pls/htmldb/htmldb_login HTTP-503 ORA-12541
Looking up that error gives -
[jes@spdb1 ~]$ oerr ora 12541
12541, 00000, "TNS:no listener"
// *Cause: The connection request could not be completed because the listener
// is not running.
// *Action: Ensure that the supplied destination address matches one of
// the addresses used by the listener - compare the TNSNAMES.ORA entry with
// the appropriate LISTENER.ORA file (or TNSNAV.ORA if the connection is to
// go by way of an Interchange). Start the listener on the remote machine.So it looks like the listener isn't running for your database to me (i.e. "lsnrctl start")

How to configure portal server with the Backend Oracle database

Hi Portal Experts,
we are planning to install Netweaver 04s sp stack 9 full java edition with Oracle 8i on windows platform.
we have the installation docs of portal but we didn't have any idea about how to configure Portal server with the Backend Oracle database at the time of installation or after ost installation of portal.can anyone provide the documentation about this or guide me how to achieve this.
PLZ share ur views---your help would be highly appreciable.

HI
if you r working in Sap enterprise portal use for connection url
jdbc:sap:sqlserver://ilsql01.tlv.sap.corp:1433;DatabaseName=Northwind
ilsql01.tlv.sap.corp:1433 this is your portal url with port number
Northwind is your database name.
for dirver you need to give
com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
in case if you r working on other than sap say windows along with oracle try to use
Connection URL as jdbc:oracle:<drivertype>:@<database>
Driver name as oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
ex jdbc:oracle:thick:@localhost:3036:mydb
Oracle implements two types of JDBC drivers:
Thick JDBC drivers built on top of the C-based Net8 client, as well as a Thin (Pure Java) JDBC driver to support downloadable applets. Oracle JDBC drivers are used to create JDBC applications to communicate with Oracle databases.
Oracle extensions to JDBC include the following features:
Data access and manipulation
LOB access and manipulation
Oracle object type mapping
Object reference access and manipulation
Array access and manipulation
Application performance enhancement

How to connect to a Sql server from Oracle using db link

Hi All,
Does anybody have any idea about how to connect to a sql server from oracle database using db link to syncronize the data? I need to pull the data from Sql server table to Oracle tables and relay messages back to the sql server.
Thank you,
Praveen.

we have 2 products - DG4MSQL and DG4ODBC.
DG4ODBC is for free and requires a 3rd party ODBC driver and it can connect to any 3rd party database as long as you use a suitable ODBC driver
DG4MSQL is more powerfull as it is designed for MS SQL Server databases and it supports many functions it can directly map to SQL Server equivalents - it can also call remote procedures or participtae in distributed transactions. Please be aware DG4MSQL requires a license - it is not for free.
Check out Metalink and you'll find notes how to configure both products.

Linking to SQL Server from Oracle 10g on 64bit Linux

I have this working, so I thought I would post my steps.
In versions 8 to 10 of Oracle, the software for making these connections was known as Heterogeneous Services. It was 32bit only software and the actual binary file that was executed when querying a non oracle database was $ORACLE_HOME/bin/hsodbc. When a query was made to the linked database, a process was started on the machine with the name of hsodbcXXX (where XXX is the name of the DSN).
In version 11g of Oracle this software is now referred to as Database Gateways and there is a 64bit version as well as a 32bit version. The binary file that is executed in this case is $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dg4odbc.
Fortunately the 64bit Database Gateway software can also be used with Oracle 10g databases as long as it is up to version 10.2.03 and has the odbc compatibility patch installed. (5965763).
To make use of this, we need to install the 11g ODBC Gateway into a separate ORACLE_HOME and start a listener from that environment. We can then make use of that listener from the 10g environment.
So here is what I did to get this working: (Note: DSN = MyDSN)
1.     Download and install 64bit ODBC driver with support for 64-bit ULEN from Easysoft. The file is named odbc-sqlserver-1.1.4-linux-x86-64-ul64.tar. You'll need to email Easysoft support for the URL. Create the DSN entry as part of the install. At the end of the process it can test the DSN. The query should come back with info about the SQL Server. Test the connection using isql from the /opt/easysoft/unixODBC/bin directory to verify that it works as well (/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/bin/isql –v MyDSN). Note, I installed easysoft driver under /opt rather than the /usr/local which is the default. /usr/local/easysoft is a symlink to /opt/easysoft.
2.     Install ODBC gateway via the 11g Gateways installer. You can do a custom install and deselect all but the ODBC Gateway component. (http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle11g/linux.x64_11gR1_gateways.zip)
3.     Create a /home/oracle/11g_environment.sh script that sets 11g ORACLE_HOME, PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables. It should look something like this:
#set ORACLE ENV vars for 11g
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1 # (assuming that is where ODBC Gateway was installed)
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1/bin:/opt/easysoft/bin:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/easysoft/lib:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1/lib
export ORACLE_HOME
export PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
4.     Create $ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/initMyDSN.ora, $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora, and $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora under 11g structure. They are as follows:
initMyDSN.ora:
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=MyDSN
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=0
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME=MyDSN.trc
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME=/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/lib/libodbc.so
HS_FDS_SUPPORT_STATISTICS=FALSE
# ODBC specific environment variables
#set ODBCINI=/etc/odbc.ini
#set ODBCINSTINI=/etc/odbcinst.ini
#set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/easysoft/lib:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/lib
#set PATH=$PATH:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/bin:/opt/easysoft/bin/
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>
listener.ora
MyDSN =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1522))
SID_LIST_MyDSN =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=MyDSN)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1)
(PROGRAM=dg4odbc)
(ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/easysoft/lib:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1/lib)
tnsnames.ora
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
MyDSN =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1522))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=MyDSN))
(HS=OK)
5.     Add another entry for MyDSN in /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora so tnsping works in 10g environment as well.
MyDSN =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1522))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=MyDSN))
(HS=OK)
*** Notice that the MyDSN listener runs on a different port (1522) as it is a separate listener.
6.     Login to machine as user oracle and source the 11g environment script. “source ~/11g_environment.sh”. Now start the listener. “cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin”. “./lsnrctl start MyDSN”.
7.     Login to a new shell as user oracle with a 10g environment.
8.     Run sqlplus and create the database link. “CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK SQLSERVER connect to “<someuser>” IDENTIFIED BY “<somepass>” USING ‘MyDSN’;”
9.     test the link. “select * from information_schema.tables@SQLSERVER;”
If it is successfull, you should see a system process named "dg4odbcMyDSN".

So what have you found out for yourself so far (considering the solution to this is easily found on the web)?
Have you looked up Heterogeneous Services?

How do you configure the server in this situation?????????????

Hi,
We have Oracle 10.2 and Windows 2003.
We have Oracle on Cluster (with Windows software).
When the System are without cluster all its OK!!!!!!
We have 2 Resources Cluster Group: Oracle and Applications.
We have Oracle in Oracle cluster group.
We have W Drive and a ftp program in Application cluster group.
We have C drive in both nodes. We have installed Oracle in both nodes but we have W drive only associate to the Active Node because is a Cluster resource (Application cluster group).
All days we receive text files by ftp and we put it on W Drive. This text files are readen with external tables in Oracle.
We have a problem when oracle fails and it goes to the another node (for ex. node2) because the external tables fail because the files are on Node1 on W Drive. If we move manually Applications cluster resource to Node2 then all it is OK.
We think to put UNC pathes instead of W but its not possible (Metalink: Note:290703.1)
How do you configure the server in this situation?????????????
Thanks!

We run a similar configurations and i doubt you have a chance other then reconfigure your setup. The way we do it is to have an ftp client in our database group and periodically transfer the files a second time (not elegant but it's working).
If that's not an option you might be able to use unc names in your ftp server and set the ftp root to a directory hosted on a disk which is part of the database group.
Or move to unix (that's what we do now). Than you don't have to bounce your server once in a month to apply security patches...

How to setup the SMTP server in Oracle apps?

Hi,
How to setup the SMTP server in Oracle Apps? Is it mandatory to keep the SMTP server on the same host where the Oracle data base is installed? Also can someone help how we can set up the SMTP server on different host (not the Database server) and we can use the same for Workflow notification mailer.
Thanks,
Bijoy

How to setup the SMTP server in Oracle Apps? Is it mandatory to keep the SMTP server on the same host where the Oracle data base is installed? No, it is not mandatory. Also please note that the mails are sent out from concurrent manager mode. Not from the database node.
Also can someone help how we can set up the SMTP server on different host (not the Database server) and we can use the same for Workflow notification mailer.

It depends on the operating system you are using. If you are using *nix then sendmail needs to be configured.
Thanks
