Database creation problems and parition consolidation

This is my first time on here so please look past my green-ness. =)
I Installed Oracle 8.1.7 successfully and opted to setup the database creation later so I could put the database on another partition. Well, I tried once to create the database on the partition I installed oracle onto (/oracle) but I had insufficient space, It said I needed 1.3 gigs. My "/database" partition is only a 1 gig parition (and /oracle is 2 gigs). My plan was of course, to seperate them.
Ok, I didn't see an option to create the db on another partition so I resigned to using /oracle. My question now is, is the 960 megs on /oracle enough to create the database? I used the custom setup so I could see how everything was broken down and I noticed that my rollback segment is 500 megs. Is this necessary? Can I get by with 100 megs and be fine? Also, if I did do this, I'd have approximately 100 megs free for data, this is enough I hope??
Lastly, I need to combine the partitions somehow without effecting /. The hard drive is broken down into:
gigs
5.5 /
2.0 /oracle
1.0 /database
Does anyone have any ideas? In windows, I used partiton magic but I don't know if there is a linux version.
One more thought (last one for real =), it had 50 megs allocated for it's shared memory pool. I'm assuming this will take away from the 128megs I have thus effectively making only 78 available to X, will this cause any noticeable problems other than a bit of slowdown? I have most if not all of my virtual memory free at all times. I know I should get more ram, but you know how the budget thing goes...
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Rob

Try running the catalog and catproc sql scripts.
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
$ svrmgrl
connect internal
@catalog
@catproc
That will set up all of the internal views and packages that
oracle needs to do DDL.

  • Database creation problems

    Help!! I have installed 8i on RH Linux 6.1 and followed the "Friendly" guide steps, it worked perfectly. However when I try to create a database using the Database assistant, I get an error "Oracle Not Logged on" I've reinstalled twice and still have the same problems - can anyone help?
    Thanks for any suggestions/help!
    null

    This problem doesn't just occur on Linux. I have encountered the same on both Digital Unix and HP/UX. I finally gave up and told it to just create the scripts. Looking at the scripts, there are a number of different problems depending on the items that you choose to install and/or customizations to db setup, such as size and placing of files.
    To find them, I generated the scripts and then looked at the contents and used svrmgrl to individually run commands so that I could see the "real" error message.
    It's been awhile but I think the not logged on was a failure in the initial create database command... Or maybe it was the MAX_ENABLED_ROLES being too small in the default init file to support some of the products... Or the rollback segments being created as private and not being automatically added to the init before the assistant does a shutdown and restart... Or it creating the rollback segment tablespace not the size and parameters that I requested...
    You may guess by now I wasn't too impressed by the dbassist program. All I can say is doesn't anyone believe in testing anymore? I have a hard time believing that anyone at Oracle actually tested running this product and actually using any of it's features.
    This really pissed me off because when I first saw the pretty GUI and nice interface I thought WOW, this is great, finally something to make database creation simpler than running all those commands and scripts.

  • BAM database creation problem in Enterprise Server

    Hi,
    We are trying to create a new database and config BAM inside the Enterprise Server. We have already created the engine db and the directory service db but we did not start the BAM or create any db or configure anything for BAM inside the Enterprise Server.
    Now when we create a new external resource to create a new db for BAM and then goto Process Monitoring ---> Manage Database
    and then create a new database and a new data structure and enter the Database Administrator User and the Database Administrator Password, it gives us an error:-
    Username and password already exists and it could not be created..
    We have tried all usernames and passwords but could not create the BAM..
    We also used the system user and the password..
    What could be the possible problem? Do we have to create the BAM db while configuring the engine db and directory service db or can we start and configure BAM later?
    How do we resolve this problem?
    The documents do not specify what is the
    Database Administrator Password
    and
    Database Administrator User is?
    What are these?
    Anybody knows?

    Hi,
    Lilach's tip should get you going.
    Suspect you won't need it, but here's a link to a BAM installation document I wrote that might also help you with your Oracle BPM 10g installation - http://www.4shared.com/file/136283546/ca086174/ALBPM_60_-Configuringthe_BAM_Updater.html. It's an update of the excellent ALBPM 5.7 BAM installation document that Gustavo in Customer Support wrote a few years ago. Although it was written for ALBPM 6.0, the steps will work with Oracle BPM 10g.
    Here's another thread on this forum regarding BAM installation - Re: Problems with the albpmwarehouse service
    Hope this helps,

    Hi Thilaka,
    hm, why are you now askig the forum when you've direct email contact with me?
    Anyway, this really should be handled over OSS...
    Just fyi:
    It seems that SAPINST is trying to issue the following command:
    /sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli -n ql1ap01.cardinalhealth.net -R /sapdb/QL1/db db_create QL1 CONTROL,******** ql1adm,
    Can you try and see if you can issue it from the commandline on your machine (with the same user, i.e. probably root)? Please do not forget to add the password of the ql1adm, which is either not visible in the above command or forgotten (by SAPINST):
    /sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli -n ql1ap01.cardinalhealth.net -R /sapdb/QL1/db db_create QL1 CONTROL,******** ql1adm,<b><password></b>
    After issueing this, please try to continue using SAPINST (and please update the OSS message accordingly).

  • New database creation problem

    While we are trying to create new database in test server it getting below error.
    Error:

    Hello,
    There may be session accessing the model database, and that prevents the creation of the new database. This is by design; an exclusive lock is required on model database by SQL Server, since it needs to create the new database from a copy of the model database.
    Run the sp_who2 to know which session has opening the model database.
    Hope this helps.

  • WLI 7.0 samples database setup problem

    I have just installed WL Platform 7.0. I want to run the WLI samples and did the following:
    1. Started "Integration Database Wizard" for WLI samples and performed "SwitchDB"
    - provided valid database properties for oracle. Completed successfully - config.xml
    for samples is updated.
    2. Ran RunSamples script - Gives database connect problems and database is not created.
    The user/pwd/machine name/SID are all correct.
    I observed that as part of "RunSamples", it again invokes "SwitchDB" (command I see
    is "switchdb oracle"). This resets the database properties in config.xml to the defaults
    - so obviously this is causing the connection problem.
    Pls let me know what is going wrong here?
    Thanks

    Garf,
    You are correct in your analysis. When you run the 'RunSamples' script,
    it will call switchdb and this causes the 'defaults' to be set in
    config.xml. Running the wliconfig utility is the customer experience
    BEA would like to have with regard to setting up the database. However,
    the RunSamples script has not been updated to correctly reflect that the
    customer would have already performed this step. When RunSamples calls
    switchdb, it is getting the defaults from the following location:
    <USER_DEFINED_DOMAIN>/dbInfo/<DATABASE>/setDBVars and setDBVarsExt files
    So for example, if you accepted the default user directory and your
    BEA_HOME is C:/bea and you were using the EAI Domain template calling
    your domain eaidomain and your are using Oracle, you should update the
    following files:
    C:\bea\user_projects\eaidomain\dbInfo\oracle\setDBVars.cmd and
    setDBVarsExt.cmd
    Edit these files to reflect your DB connection properties.
    When RunSamples calls switchdb, these properties will be used to update
    the wliPool in config.xml. I hope this helps and sorry for the
    inconvenience.
    Cheers,
    Chris

  • Problem during Database Creation of 8.1.7 in Linux7.2

    hello folks,
    i am having a problem in creating database of 8.1.7 in Linux7.2 RedHat.
    after successful installation,,and after even successfull listener configuration,,
    when database creation assistant is creating database; On 82%
    At "Initializing database"
    it comes::

    and if we keep on ignoring it ,then it comes:
    end of file communication channel.
    plz help me what i would do,,
    regards.

    Hi,
    seems that your oracle database went down. just check if oracle is running or not by using ps command.
    if its not running go to $ prompt and start the database either using sys or internal user i.e
    $svrmgrl
    connect internal
    $startup or startup force
    let me know the result.

  • Problem with database tool kit, and MS Office Tool kit.

    One of my programmer's who has the Office tool kit noticed this on Monday, and we haven't been able to find the problem yet.
    We use the database connectivity reads and writes to a MS Access database. This program reads the data from a Symbol Scanner, and then inputs it into the database.  He then has a query that to create a data table to pump into the MS Toolkit to build a MS World file (This is for a Bill of Lading).
    What we found it that it works really well the first time, and on any further runs it will not update the database with any new data. It starts working again if we do a restart on the computer.  It seems like something is not freeing up the database.   He is freeing all the tables and closing the DB connection at each process, and everything else seems to be doing everything else right.  I think the problem is that it goes into this MS Toolkit to make the table that goes on the Bill of Lading.
    I did a modification that makes it read from an excel file on my desktop, and I found that it is doing the same thing. I deleted the report generator part of the program, and found that it will update the database properly.  I have no clue.
    here is the machine specs:
    labview 8.6
    Database connectivity toolkit 1.0.2
    Report generator toolkit MS Office 1.1.3
    MS Office 2007, the file is a Office 2003 format, 

    Given that the code still fails when talking to a excel file it sounds like this isn't really related to the database. Can you post a bit of your that shows the problem. Beyond that, be looking for things in the code that change between subsequent interations -- things like shift registers, globals, etc.
    On the other hand, the fact that you have to restart the computer would tend to indicate that there is something going on with the MS Office side of things. To be clear: shutting down and restarting LV is NOT sufficient to clear the problem?
    When the problem is occurring, if you shut down LV and open the Task Manager do you see (on the Processes tab) any MS Office components still running?
