Oracle 10g enterprise manager create directory

Hi,
I am new to using Oracle 10g on Linux and struggle with creating a new directory using the Enterprise Manager "wizard".
I go to Database Instance > Directory Objects > Create Directory objects
and try it with \home\oracle , then test the file system it says directory not available.
pressing OK and continueing with my data dump does not work because I get the error "The directory does not exist"
I wonder why it has not been created?
moreover how do I delete the directory objects. I cant find a delete button using the enterprise manager browser ui ?

Hi EdStevens,
thanks for your reply.
I have heard this "read a book" a thousand times and gues what. I am
reading a book and this is exercise 9.2 and it tells me (as part
of the ultimate learning path) to use the enterprise manager
after I have created the directory with sqlplus.
I also tried the intuitiv DROP DIRECTORY in sqlplus as well but...
the directory does apparently not exist (altough I can see it clearly there in the list).That could be an ownership issue. Who does the directory belong to? who are you logged on as?

Hence I came to the conlusion to create a directory using the good old enterprise manager and it did not work too well either.
whatever I type in there I get file system does not exist. I guess I do something wrong with the PATH written into the textbox right?

Who are you connecting as when you log on to OEM? Try logging on with sysdba authority and you should see some more options available on the directory management page.

CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY

Hi,
I have a doubt..
I'm trying to create an Oracle directory:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY
PROTPL[b]-RP[b]-01_TPL_DB AS
'/utl_db/skedul/protpl-rp-01';
But I get an error:
Message Code ORA-00905 was not found. Please verify and re-enter.
Instead using a different name, witout char '-' , I have no problem.
Is char '-' not legal for the name of Oracle directory?
Thanks a lot

Is char '-' not legal for the name of Oracle directory?As in all oracle object name, until you use double-quote :
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY
2 PROTPL-RP-01_TPL_DB AS
3 '/utl_db/skedul/protpl-rp-01';
PROTPL-RP-01_TPL_DB AS

Directory created.
SQL> But in this case, you will need to use double-quote on each call of this object :

Upgrade 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.6 Linux X86 64

Hi,
Just upgraded from 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.6. Here you have my detailed upgrade procedure based on links below. Hope it will help some of you.
Guides:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/bi.1111/e16452/bi_plan.htm#BABECJJH
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16764_01/doc.1111/e14495/install_screens.htm
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/patch_11g_111160 (it's about windows installation but still helpful)
1) Check prerequisites
Check your web logic version (need to be 10.3.5 or 10.3.6) -> In the WebLogic console, in the left navigation tree, click on "Environment", then "Servers". Then click on one of the servers in the list. Then click on the "Monitoring" tab. Look at the "WebLogic Version" field.
If you like, check detailed requirements:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e16793/patch_set_installer.htm#BGBBHDJA
http://docs.oracle.com/html/E18558_01/fusion_requirements.htm
2) Stop services
Stop OBIEE services OMPN: /mnt/data/obi11g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl stopall
Stop Weblogic: /mnt/data/obi11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin/stopWebLogic.sh
Confirm that weblogic is not running: ps aux | grep java
3) use putty with XMING (if you run inslallation remotely)
download from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/
guide: http://qiu.bioweb.hunter.cuny.edu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=110
Maybe you will need to install "/usr/bin/xdpyinfo" to make it work
4) start installer
Run installer with oracle account (Anyway installer script won't let you run it from root account).
/mnt/data/OBI_11116_installer_unp/bishiphome/Disk1/runInstaller
-> Skip software updates
-> Next
-> Software Install only
-> Next
5) make all prerequisites passed / sometimes warnings are accepted
In our case:
A) to pass "check operating system certification" needed to change "/etc/oracle-release" from “Oracle 6.1” to just “6” (so it match one of allowed versions)
B) to pass "checking recommended operating system packages" -> needed to install several packages (it's more convinient to use prerequisite log than read packages names from installer window, in our case log was located in: /tmp/OraInstall2012-03-06_02-43-06PM/prereq/linux64/ias_prereq_results.xml)
C) Even after installing all packages prerequisites check didn't pass for 2 of them, so finally "checking recommended operating system packages" got warning, however we were sure that packages are in place in system
6) Provide Oracle Middleware home and Oracle Home Directory
How to find it out: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11857_01/install.111/e16847/preparing_for_install.htm#BACIGBGF
In our case:
Middleware Home: /mnt/data/obi11g
BI Oracle Home: Oracle_BI1
7) Finish instalation
After installation is finishes close installer.
In our case with no issues and it took about 15 minutes.
8) Check schemas
see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e16793/patch_set_assistant.htm#BABHFEGH
In our case database is located on separate server, so needed to connect to it from my local windows machine with PL-SQL developer as "sys" user and verify if 2 expected schemas are in place with version 11.1.1.5
SELECT t.* FROM SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY t;
9) Update Schemas with Patch Set Assistant
Connect to server with putty with Xming (as when starting installation)
Run patch set assistant separately for each of 2 schemas: /mnt/data/obi11g/Oracle_BI1/bin/psa
xxx_MDS (The prefix_MDS schema must be updated first, in fact installer won't let you do it in wrong order)
xxx_BIPLATFORM
Both times tyou need to check prerequisites check boxes: "Database backup completed" and "Database version is certified...".
You need to provide connection string. As mentioned in my case it was different IP than OBI server itself.
As given in installer example DBA User name: "sys as sysdba"
Then provide your schema user and password (e.g. schema password for sample oracle installation is "Admin123")
10) validate patch set installation
again connect as "sys" user and run query: SELECT t.* FROM SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY t;
for both xxx_BIPLATFORM and xxx_MDS you get "11.1.1.6" ... "VALID"

B) check if there are no issues in : /home/obi/nohup.out
C) set oracle home / confirm that it is set
export ORACLE_HOME=/mnt/data/obi11g/Oracle_BI1
env | grep ORACLE_HOME
D) start obiee services
/mnt/data/obi11g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl startall
E) verify that obiee services are alive
/mnt/data/obi11g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl status -l
F) run upgrade

-oracleInstance /mnt/data/obi11g/instances/instance1 -adminHost localhost -adminPort 7001 -adminUsername xxx
in default oracle installation xxx = "weblogic", you will need to provide password few times during install.
12) Updating Fusion Middleware Shared Libraries
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e16793/patch_set_installer.htm#PATCH685
A) Stop all running instances, Managed Servers, Administration Server, and Node Manager in the domain.
/mnt/data/obi11g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl stopall
/mnt/data/obi11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin/stopWebLogic.sh
B) confirm that weblogic is not running
ps aux | grep java
C) run WLST
/mnt/data/obi11g/oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh

14) "Updating Oracle Business Intelligence Code Grants" & "Updating Oracle Business Intelligence Catalogs"
Boths this steps can be skipped for 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.6 upgrade, as I understood from Oracle upgrade guide.
15) Reinstall windows client "biee_client_install.exe"
A) uninstall previous version (in my case 11.1.1.4)
B) download and install "Oracle Business Intelligence Developer Client Tools Installer (11.1.1.6.0)"
First glance issues after installation (to be investigated next days...):
- does not work at all with my chrome browser
- issue with existing dashboard prompts (list of available values is not displayed combo box, however can use "search" to pick it from list)
- some of existing navigation links stopped to work

If I got it right, you suggest using the Method proposed on the first message, without Data Guard.
I too would prefer not to touch production database until I test all the procedure. I would just run the pre-upgrade in production and use production backups during the tests phase.The guys here gave great suggestions but I'd do in a different way.
1) Execute pre-upgrades scripts and checks
2) Backup current database with RMAN and make backup files available to the new host
3) Install Grid Infrastcure 11.2.0.2 on new cluster
4) Configure ASM on new Cluster
5) Install Oracle Database RAC 11.2.0.2 on new cluster
6) Create the RAC Database (using DBCA) with the same DBNAME of the original database. (this save a lot work)
7) Create the Database Services (if exists)
8) Shutdown Database / Remove Database (only files controlfile/datafiles/redo) - Easy way is drop directory on ASM. Leave configuration of Network/OCR in place.
9) Create a new PFILE from production SPFILE. Change parameter of SPFILE of new RAC using PFILE.
10) RESTORE CONTROLFILE AND DATABASE
11) RECOVER DATABASE and execute 'ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOG' the error ORA-39700 will be raised and database will shutdown leave database down.
12) Using DBUA perfom UPGRADE to 11.2.0.2.
13) remove extra undo tablespaces e redo log threads
You also suggest to use DBUA. Is it possible to use DBUA when you are restoring the database to the other cluster where the new version is installed?Yes.. You must perform recover and open resetlogs database, the error (ORA-39700: database must be opened with UPGRADE option) will be raised and database will shutdown, leave database down and perform upgrade using DBUA.

Unable to find line break between two lines in attachment file.

Dear all I will be very great full if someone help me out,

Add a unique constraint on binary XML table

How add a unique constraint of "brevet" field?
The following INSERT failed
SQL Error: ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE renvoie la valeur d'un seul noeud

You could try something like
(extract(OBJECT_VALUE,compagnie/pilotes/pilote/brevet').getStringVal());
but this is probably unadvisable.
I suggest an alternative is for you to look at XMLINDEX so that you can bring the 'proper' XML functions into play like XMLTABLE etc.

Installing Oracle Database Express Edition 11g on UBUNTU

Hello everyone,
I want to install Oracle Database Express Edition 11g on UBUNTU. I followed the steps from this link created by Dude:

I followed the instructions there, agreeing t HTTP port 8080, port database listener 1521, specifying a password for my database account, and wanting Oracle Express to be started on boot. This is what I'm getting:

Can somebody that knows this, or has installed Oracle Express on Ubuntu, to please explain it to me what does it mean and why am I getting those errors. Please explain thoroughly as if I am an amateur person, IN DETAIL, STEP-BY-STEP. I want to run it and make it work! I heard that it encourages people to answer for points. I am open for your suggestions and experiences, as long as it's not 'use common sense', 'you're dumb', or an answer that is vaguely explained. Thank you for those that take the time to read it.

Hi Pradeepcmst,
Thanks for your suggestion, but I found it sometimes misunderstanding on what he's trying to say - his instructions are not step-by-step and precise. Instead, I found this link that helped me a lot:

Using Oracle Text to search through WORD, EXCEL and PDF documents

Hello again,
What I would like to know is if I have a WORD or PDF document stored in a table. Is it possible to use Oracle Text to search through the actual WORD or PDF document?
Thanks
Doug

Yes you can do context sensitive searches on both PDF and Word docs. With the PDF you need to make sure they are text and not images. Some scanners will create PDFs that are nothing more than images of document.
Below is code sample that I made some time back to demonstrate the searching capabilities of Oracle Text. Note that the example makes use of the inso_filter that is no longer shipped with Oracle begging with Patch set 10.1.0.4. See metalink note 298017.1 for the changes. See the following link for more information on developing with Oracle Text.

Hi,
You've posted this to the web services list. Do you want to use a web service to retrieve the BLOB?
You might want to repost this to another of the forums

Problem while using Utl_mail Package.

When i am trying to write file in local oracle server it works fine. But when i tried to write file in mapped or network drive system gives me a error message. I also want to write file in Client drive. How it would be possible.
I got something for Mapped drive i am not able to implement successfully.
The following example shows how this doesn't work, and in addition, shows how a directory can be remapped, without causing too much hassle to users who have existing procedures which write or read from the directory - unlike if a specific UTL_FILE_DIR is used. (But, remember, the procedures will go invalid when the directory is dropped - causing a recompile on next execute!)
SQL> connect system
Enter password: ******
Connected.
SQL> drop directory utl_file_dir;
Directory dropped.
SQL> create directory utl_file_dir as 's:\temp\norman\utl_file';
Directory created.
SQL> grant read,write on directory utl_file_dir to scott;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> connect scott/tiger
Connected.
SQL> execute empflatfile
BEGIN empflatfile; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20001: utl_file.invalid_operation
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.EMPFLATFILE", line 19
ORA-06512: at line 1
So that didn't work - why not ?
In control panel, services (NT) or control panel, administrative tools, services - stop the OracleServiceXXXX service. Click on the login tab, and note that it is using a local system logon. That user has no rights to any shares (at least on our NT system,) and so is unable to access the shared drives by their mapped name or full UNC name.
If I change the service to logon as my own username and restart it, I can try again :
SQL> connect scott/tiger
Connected.
SQL> execute empflatfile
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
I could also go back and change the directory to use a mapped drive name (S:\temp\norman\utl_file) but if our sysadmins for NT decided to change the share name, or the mapped drive, the procedure would be broken again. It is advisable to use the full UNC name for the drive you are trying to access.
And finally, watch out for the times when you change your Windows password. When you do this, remember to amend your OracleServiceXXXX service again - otherwise the database won't startup.
It's not possible to start and stop database again and again. How can i gives all rights to current user to do this task.

The correct method is to have the client "+save+" the file it receives from the server - not for the server to write directly to the client's drive.
Using a web-based architecture, this is quite easy - the web browser makes a standard HTTP call (via a web server) to a PL/SQL procedure and it streams the file (using standard HTTP) to the browser. The web user now has the options to save or open the file (depending on the Mime type specified by the PL/SQL procedure and mapping of that type in the client's browser).
From a security, robustness, performance and scalability points of view.. I (wearing either DBA or sysadmin cap) would refuse to implement PL/SQL code on a server instance that writes directly to a client drive.

OK - Although you really should read the XMLDB FAQ on this forum, here is some sample code of ONE of the ways of doing it
(there are multiple ways - and this is not the most simple one)
