De-install oracle8i and 9i

with regards

WHen you install something using the Oracle Universal Installer [OUI], it updates the 'inventory' and the appropriate Oracle Home.
In addition, you may have created databases - often these are created using the database configuration assistant [dbca]. dbca is called by OUI if you request database to be created during install of software.
Depending on a number of factors, a deinstall may involve
- drop any instances using dbca (or manually);
- use OUI to remove software
- physically remove the Oracle Home[s]
- physically remove the Oracle Inventory
- remove the Oracle software and files in other locations such as /usr/local/bin, /opt and /var/opt
You may also want to check on metalink for the final details in your environment.

Installing Oracle8i and Designer

I am new to the installation side of Oracle and am attempting to intsall and get running Oracle8i, Designer, Forms and Reports on my NT based Laptop (Basically the package given out at iDevelop2000 (Melbourne)).
So far I have Oracle8i running but cannot get Designer, PLSQL or SQLLDR to work properly (can't resolve TNSNames issues).
The installed directories I used are:
c:\Oracle\Ora81 for Oracle8i
c:\Oracle\OraDes for Designer, Forms & Reports.
I have multiple Oracle Homes 'OraHome81' and 'OraHomeDes'.
Searching the Discussion Groups revealed topic '8i on NT Listener stops working...' which sort of suggests that I may not have installed the products in the correct order. Could you please confirm what sequence I should load the products in and whether a full reinstall would be my best solution.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if I need to give any more details.

The order of installation is (if the
client and server on the same machine)
1.Oracle Designer client software(in default oracle home)
2.Oracle Developer
2.oracle 8i database in (into sepearte oracle 8i home)
3.Designer repository
Designer installation code does not support multiple oracle home.Designer can only be installed in the default OracleHome.

How to install oracle8i and 9ias in one machine.

I need u help. I should install both product in one machine. and should 9ias should be enterprise version.

For NT here are the steps.
First you install 817 database say in home orahome1. Your database should be up and runningbefore insatlling iAS
See that you pagesize(swapfile) is >= 500MB
Then install iAS in a different home. iAs 10220 will list two homes (default is 806 and iSuites)
Give the required parameters when prompted.
If you give me more info as to which version of ias platform and what is your requirement then I can be more clear

Installing Oracle8i (EE) and Oracle9iAS (EE) on different machines (Windows 2000)

Hi, All:
Greetings! We are new to Oracle9iAS and we need your help.
We want to try all of the Oracle9iAS components for our Oracle8i (8.1.7) data warehouse, so we use two Windows 2000 server machines to do the test. One is for the Oracle8i database (8.1.7) and another is for the Oracle9iAS. However, we have not found the installation guide on the Oracle sites for installing Oracle8i (EE) and Oracle9iAS (EE) on different machines. We have no problem installing the Oracle8i (EE). Our questions are:
1. Is there any installation guide for installing Oracle8i (EE) and Oracle9iAS (EE) on different machines (Windows NT/2000)?
2. Should we follow the steps in the Oracle9i Application Server Installation Guide for Windows NT/2000?
3. Is there anything or tips for the installation we should know?
Please help us if you know anything about the installation. Thanks for your time and kindness!

Hello,
You can install oracle databaes and oracle 9ias on seperate machines which will have less problems indeed.
All the documentation you get in technet is the latest !!!
It is better you have 1.0.2.2 which is the latest release for Oracle 9IAS.
The steps to install Oracle 9IAS in brief are as follows !!!
> Install 8i database (which is not necessary in your case), but notedown the hostname, port, sid etc
> Install 9IAS which requires the info of database which you have noted in step 1
Follow the Installation documentation provided with Oracle 9IAS 1.0.2.2 which has screen shots !!!
Also in technet a new folder 'Oracle9i by Example: Tutorial' has been added which has installation instructions !!!
Hope this helps !!!

Installing Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on Windows XP Pro

I am trying to install Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on my system with Windows XP Pro on it.
After copying the CD content to the Hard Drive and renaming symcjit.dll to symcjit_back.dll, and running the setup from the oracle folder on the C drive, I am having the following error message:
" Invalid srttaging area. There are no top level components for Windows NT available for install from this satging area".
Any clue?

You may want to search the database forums or All forums categories first to see if this question is already answered. I see at least 6 threads in the database category level and 21 threads when I searched all categories for "invalid staging area." If you still do not the find the answer, please repost your question in the database forum.

Installing, Oracle8i does not Create a database

Hi,
When installing Oracle8i Personal Edition in my PC, it does create a database. However, it does show the screen that it is creating a database with the message "database creation in progress".
First, I thought it may take a long time to create a database. So I left the PC on from a few hours to a WHOLE WEEK: 4 hrs, for a day, 1.5 days and finally the whole week. Nothing works and NO RESULT.
Please somebody help me and tell me what I did wrong.
Thank you.

Hi Marc,
I followed your instructions and tried to reinstall Oracle8i by:
- deinstalling the exisiting Oracle8i
- deleting all the Oracle8i base, home and other directoreis and the files
- rebooting the PC
- reinstalling the Oracle8i (excluding the SQL+ Help files
Then I:
- accepted all the default values for dabase parameters
- let the PC on for more than 12 hours
- Still no result
I have Pentium II 350MHz with 128Mb RAM.
Do you know anyone who can help me ?
Thanks.

Personal Oracle8 and Developer6 ?

I've installed Personal Oracle 8.0.3 on my Win98 computer. I
tried to install also Developer6 (required support files 8.0.5c),
but instalation was interrupted because of version conflict
between support files of Dev6 and Personal Oracle8 (I was
installing in one ORACLE_HOME). If I had ignored warning and
continued with instalation of Dev6, I was not able to start
Oracle database after succesfull installation of Dev6. I've got
message: "The Oracle80.exe file is linked to missing export
NZ80.dll:nztpfvec".
I tried to copy NZ80.dll from Oracle distribution to my
Oracle_Home, but database still was not operational.
Is possible to install these products to diffrent Oracle_homes?
Could anyone help me ?
null

Hi there,
You cannot have Oracle8 and Dev6.0 in the same Oracle home.
Install Dev6.0 in a different Oracle home.
I guess it should solve your problem.

Vikram

Oracle8i and Oracle9i with BWLS5.1

Hi, I need help!!!
I ve a Oracle8i and an Oracle9i connection pools in WLS 5.1
The Oracle9i connection pool is not stable, and have been told to upgrad the drivers for it. I wonder if there is any problem use connection pool to an Oracle8i and Oracle9i, without any conflicts.
Can WLS5.1 handle it? how should I do ?

Hi Sree,
Sorry, I was wrong, I found the JDBC drivers for the Oracle9i.
The JDBC pack contains the OCI and Thin drivers.
Thanks alot.

Hi John,
WebLogic jDriver for Oracle 9i is not available for WLS5.1. Its only

I suggest you use the Oracle thin driver from Oracle to connect to the

database.
when you download and install the 9i thin driver, the connection pool
can be
configured as,
weblogic.jdbc.connectionPool.O9iPool=\
url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@9imachinename:port:SID,\
driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver,\

You cannot use two different OCI drivers at the same time to create
Connection pools in a single server.

Hi,
I dont know exactly what driver we use, but I know that the same driver
is
in
use for bothe 8i and 9i. And I know that the driver is old, (from 2000).
The behavior is that connection duo the 9i are rollin back sometimes,
about
30%
of all transactions are rolling back.
Thats why I ve been told to use newer drivers (9i drivers).
So, yes, I see exceptions, roll back exceptions of the transactionsthat
are
trying
to connect to the database pool.
But I wonder how to do that, and how can I see exactly what driver
we
use
now?
Please help me!!!!

do

Also ensure that you have testConnsOnReserve=true (on the 9i pool)
so
that
the connections get recreated if they go bad.

Installing Oracle8i on WIndows 2000

I am currently trying to install Oracle8i (8.1.7) on windows 2000 professional. Everytime I run setup the egg timer comes on and nothing happens. Anyone have any ideas?

Success at last! I'm installing Oracle 8.1.7 on a p4 running win 2k as I type this. I downloaded the java sdk 1.3.0 from java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/install-windows.html and installed it. Then I located the symcjit.dll in my Oralce installation folders (on my hard drive) and renamed it. Then ran the installer and voila! it worked.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Subramaniam Perivemba ([email protected]):

I did a search for this file and the only one I found was in the Oracle installation folder.

Problems installing Oracle8i on Win XP

Hi,
Anyone knows what to check for problems installing Oracle8i on WindowsXP?
I would appreciate getting a check list so that I or anyone reading the list can understand clearly run through all the steps required in sourcing the problem.
I am writing for a friend so I can't actually state what he is experiencing; only that the WinXP may have been an upgrade installation and not a clean installation. Could that cause problems. The Oracle8i installed and worked fine on the previous system.
I Would really appreciate hel asap. Thanks in advance.
Linda

Lida,
first of all verify the version of Oracle is certified with the version of the Operating System.
then do the following steps to install :
Start the Installer and Install the Oracle Software:
-Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive
-If autorun is configured, the installer will start automatically
-To manually start the installer, double-click on cd:\setup.exe
-From the welcome screen, select NEXT
-From the File Location screen, select NEXT
-Select "Enterprise Edition" for the Install Category.
-Select Typical to install the software, create a database and start
the database (Other selections are available for minimal or custom installs).
-Follow on screen prompts
-The install will begin.
-When completed, the install will have created a default database,configured a listener, and started both for you.
-When the installer completes, you should have a working database running along with the listener.
-Should the installer fail, note the error given. Check nstallActions.log in the C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs directory.
Oracle 8i does not have any installation problem with XP.
hope this will help you.

Installing Forms And Reports

Hi Gang,
Can someone help me install Forms6i and Reports6i without conflicting with my originally installed Oracle8i?
Also, when I tried to install Forms6i and Reports6i I was prompted to select either:
Oracle Forms Developer
Oracle Forms Server
Oracle Reports Developer or
Oracle Reports Server.
I am taking a beginner's Forms and Reports class and I don't know which one to install on my home computer. I would appreciate any help I can get about the above problems.
null

Also do not forget to establish connection from Forms/Reports to Oracle Server.
You can use the "Oracle Net 8 assistant", "Oracle Net 8 Easy config" to see if you have the appropriate entry to the server in the local tnsnames.ora file (find it!).
Under local I mean the file tnsnames.ora in your application, not at the Oracle Server.
You have to have there an entry like:
REKS816.RILA.BG =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = bigbluenew.rila.bg)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = REKS816)
It is a bad practice, but you can add such entry using simple text editor. But before that make a copy of tnsnames.ora in order to restore it if you do not succeed.
After that go to "control panel" and run "services".
Look at your Oracle_Home_TNSlistener80 process. Stop it! Start it again!
