EM and OEM on linux

Hi guys
I did a clean install 10gr2 on linux over ASM
the problem is.:
in the first days EM was reachable by the url machine.mydomain.org:1158/em
after a week (no changes overall) i just can reach via IP 192.168.xxx.xxx:1158/em
now is unreachable...
OEM (old java version) works fine...
any suggestion???
thx in advance

IT WORKS!!!!
Thanks oradba.
in the metalink note there is the solution...
for your knowledge :
Solution
The solution given here is not meant to be implemented in all cases, but worked on this case.
The TCP Loopback was inactivated then uninstalled
The windows server was rebooted
The RDBMS 10.2 was uninstalled and reinstalled (this is because there were also issues contacting
the database with either tool (sqlplus, tnsping, ....)
But it could be sufficient to drop and recreate the DB Control if no issue are hit with the
database itself:
- Open a DOS Command Window
- set ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID
- go to %ORACLE_HOME%\bin
- > emca -deconfig dbcontrol db
- > emca -config dbcontrol db
of course the note is windows version...but i did deconfigure/configure and it works..
now i'll try to investigate about this problem...
Bye

Linux and OEM

Ok, I couldnt run OEM on linux (couldnt find any actually), so I installed one on windows 98 and used that to access the DB on my linux box. The problem is I can only run DBA-Studio (and access my DB from Linux) and cant run Enterprise Manager cause it asks me for a management server which I cant find (nor the installation). Is there any other way to run OEM and access my database?

you need to install Oracle Management Server
if you want to use some of the features of
OEM 2.x (SQL Analyzer, for example), and
you need to enable the intelligent agent and data gatherer on your database, also.
Afaik, OMS requires an NT machine for the server, only client-side tools can be installed on WinXX.
Anyway, some the tools (Storage manager, schema manager, etc) can be used connecting
directly to the database.
The version 2.0.4 found at technet is beta (alpha?) software, use 2.1 version found at same site, but unfortunatelly this version is buggy, and you need a 20M patch found at metalink to use some of the tools (SQL Analyzer IIRC)

About path and classpath in linux

How to set classpath and path in Linux.
thank you very much!

The class path can be set using either the -classpath option when calling an SDK tool (the preferred method) or by setting the CLASSPATH environment variable. The -classpath option is preferred because you can set it individually for each application without affecting other applications and without other applications modifying its value.
% sdkTool -classpath path1:path2...
-or-
% setenv CLASSPATH path1:path2...
where:
sdkTool
A command-line tool, such as java, javac, or javadoc. For a listing, see SDK Tools.
path1:path2
Paths to the .jar, .zip or .class files. Each path should end with a filename or directory depending on what you are setting the class path to:
For a .jar or .zip file that contains .class files, the path ends with the name of the .zip or .jar file.
For .class files in an unnamed package, the path ends with the directory that contains the .class files.
For .class files in a named package, the path ends with the directory that contains the "root" package (the first package in the full package name).
Multiple path entries are separated by colons.
The default class path is the current directory. Setting the CLASSPATH variable or using the -classpath command-line option overrides that default, so if you want to include the current directory in the search path, you must include "." in the new settings.
Classpath entries that are not either a directory or an archive (.zip or .jar file) are ignored.

Installing 11i apps on windows xp and Red Hat linux AS 3.0

Hi,
I am a newbie to Oracle E-business suite............i will be very helpful if anybody could help me with the full procedure on how to install Oracle apps on windows on Windows XP and Red Hat linux AS 3.0.........starting with configuring ip.....i would really appreciate if somebody helps me out...........well thanks in advance..waiting for a optmistic reply...
Thanks again,
Virendra

I have done installation on XP and 2000 servers are heres the steps... detailed ones. I also request those who install Oracle Apps 11i to first read the installtion pdf's which helps you understand clearly the prerequisites overall.
You cannot find the Pre installtion steps(such as Mks Toolkit and GNUMake config) in more clear terms from those documents.Which are explained here.
The Must PDF's to refer before installation
1)r1152ins.pdf
2)11iconcepts.pdf
According to the 11iconcepts PDF you can decide your business needs the N-Tier Architecture and Database Server and Application Tier Server File System in a very clear terms.
The installation process can be divided into
Pre Installtion,Installation and Post-Installation stages.
I would caution everyone to concentrate more on Pre Installation stage and which is more critical for a successfull installtion of Oracle Apps and to be free with later cropping up problems.
Further before moving into Installtion stages i have to Explain the Number of CD's and Installtion type's in Oracle App's.
In many places you may need to wait patiently even more than 10 minutes for screens(Dialog Boxes) to appear dont conclude prematurely some problem on system.
In oracle Apps 11.5.1 it consist of 12 CD's.
1) Start Here CD(RAPID Installation Wizard)
2)1-11 CD's
1-3 Application Top information
4th Oracle DB
5-6 IAS and other tools
7-11 Oracle Apps DB.
You have to decide whether you are going to do a Single Node Installation(No Post-Installation Task) or Multi Node Installation. Refer(r1152ins.pdf)
While installing for Multi Node you can see the Installation locations to be mentioned as
Appl_Top,Common_Top,Data_Top etc.Try to install Appl_top and common_Top in one drive and Data_Top in another Drive(Single Node) and in different nodes in Multi Node installation.
Installation Types
Production ==>Real time Env implementation's
Test ==>For test Env Purposes
Vision Demo==>R&D or learning Purposes.
Pre-Installation steps
======================
Space Requirement for types of installtions
Install VC++
How to Download and install MKS tool Kit
How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE
Env path setting
Create Applmgr user in Win2000
Space Requirement for types installtion:
Memory Requirement
1 GB of RAM(512 Fine for initial Installtion)
but planned for more user connections another 1 GB of Ram and according to the number of user's and Application needs you have to Increase the Memory.
HDD capacity
APP_Top(A)
COMMON_TOP(C)
DATA_TOP(D)
Test DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
Prod DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
Vision Demo DB: 22 + 35 GB (80 GB recommended).
Plus space for ur staging area.
This are the actuall space required for the Oracle Apps Alone plan for more space for future needs etc.
Softwares on System
Win2000 server with Patch1,Winzip and Acrobat Reader Latest version etc.
Install VC++:
Install a clean installtion of VC++ of Visual Studio Family 6.0
It should be first installed before installing MKS or GNUMAKE
NOTE: When Visual C++ is installed, let the installer register all environment variables. This will allow executables to be linked from the command line.
How to Download and install MKS tool Kit:
Note:Try to purchase the MKS tool kit from the below site.
or try to download the trial version valid for a months time.
http://www.mkssoftware.com/products/tk/ds_tkio.asp
Evaluation copy from
http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
Choose "MKS Toolkit for Interoperability " Download it in C:\
Again you have to click the downloaded kit to start the actual download of 38 MB of MKS tollkit Evaluation version.
You will be sent a Demo serial number to your mail id==>copy the same to a Notepad on your desktop.
Now start the installtion of the MKSToolkit on your system by clicking on the MKStoolkit downloaded.
It will prompt you for the Demo serial number which has to be provided.
The MKStoolkit will be successfully installed.
How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE:
1) HOW TO GET AND INSTALL GNUMAKE ON WINDOWS2000
This can be done by performing the following steps:
NOTE: Please, be aware that you must install Visual C++ BEFORE installing GNUMAKE, because its installation process involves linking executables.
1) Before downloading GNUMAKE, you will need to acquire some utilities which will be used for unpacking files. You can obtain the required utilities at the following
URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/
The directory contains the following files:
README
djtarnt.exe
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
tar-1.11.2-i386.exe
tar-1.11.2a.exe
Only two of the files are required:
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2a.exe
2) After downloading the above files, rename them as follows:
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe => gunzip.exe
tar-1.11.2a.exe => tar.exe
Place them into a directory that you can set in you PATH environment variable.
3) Point your browser to the following
URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
The files needed from this directory are:
make-3.77.tar.gz
make-3.78.1.tar.gz
make-3.79.1.tar.gz
make-3.79.tar.gz
Development requires to install version 3.77 or above. Downloading the latest version is perhaps best decision, but there are advantages to downloading the version required by development (3.77). (This document assumes that version 3.77 has been downloaded) (NOTE: AVOID USING SPACES IN
DIRECTORY AND FILE NAMES. GNUMAKE,VISUAL C++, ETC. DO NOT ALWAYS DEAL WELL WITH SPACES)
4) For instance, suppose you have downloaded file make-3.77.tar.gz on a directory called C:\GNUMAKE, unpack this file using gunzip.exe from a Command Prompt Window
Example: C:\GNUMAKE>gunzip make-3.77.tar.gz This last action, will expand file make-3.77.tar.gz and the extension .gz will be removed.
5) On the same Command Prompt Window, you should UnTAR the file, with the following
command: C:\GNUMAKE>tar -xvf make-3.77.tar This will create a new subdirectory called MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNUMAKE, the original directory.
6) In the new subdirectory, there is a batch file
called build_w32.bat; run the batch file to generate GNUMAKE.EXE
Try this from Command Prompt more than once if succesfully not built message appers till you get Generated successfully.
Note:If Possible run all the bat files in the MAKE-3.77 and also config.bat in the sub directory by double clicking it.
WARNING: There is a known issue with this last step, "GNU make fails to build regardless of chosing build_w32 or nmake"
See [NOTE:115937.1]

Installation:
=============
What here you require is the Patience .
Load the START HERE CD and run the C:\> cd \cdrom\rapidwiz
For Test and Prod it will ask for the location of Appl_Top,Common_Top and Data_Top location. Mention there path and ensure if more than one installtion say eg.Vision and Test or Prod to check the Path in all the tab pages its corresponding values and path's.
In Vision Demo many of the Options are not propmted from the user.
It will then do the system checking for Host Name and other details.All the checking should have been passed or if failed it will mark it in RED cross mark.Rectify the mistake and then onceagain proceed or else you will have problem after installation.
The Installation time takes around 5 to 6 Hrs of time.
For info on Post installation or on Multi Node follow the pdf's i have mentioned above.
The most tedious of all is succesfully crossing the Apps system checking it does for all
installed products it requires without any failure.
The GNUMAKE configuration or steps were nowhere given and it was all our trail and error exp.
This is possibly the most elaborate steps to install Apps on Win. post for further help. email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

Is there any difference in the prompts of UCCX 7 (Windows based) and UCCX 9 (Linux based) ?

Are the prompts for UCCX 7 (windows based) and UCCX 9 (Linux Based) are different ?
There are no default prompts available in the script editor folder of UCCX 9.
I have downloaded some prompts from the internet with .wav format, but those prompts are not working.
Can someone tell me if the prompts are different and if they are really different, where to get those prompts then ?
I have also attached the prompts i have downloaded from the internet.

Nope, there's no difference. UCCX uses either G711 or G729 encoded files. You have to encode them first before you upload them. UCCX will not encode them like CUCM does for MOH files. In fact, you can use CUCM's MOH file encoding to encode your files for use within UCCX.
Also, you will not see the system prompts on your workstation where you installed the script editor.
What is it that you are trying to do?

I wanna use Suse for all my net applications and still wanna Windows for just old games running on a long trip as flights ect..
Is it possible? Install booth?
Thanks

Boot Camp will only let you install onto an internal disk. This is largely because of Windows restrictions, not Mac OS restrictions. The beta thread has some supposed approaches to let you do this, using manual steps instead of using Boot Camp Assistant.

OWB, Oracle WorkFlow, and OEM

I am a DBA who has been charged with the task of integrating Oracle Warehouse Builder, Oracle Workflow and OEM. Our source database is 9i but our Intelligence Team would like to use 10G. Does anyone know how I might install this? Should I install 10G, then create a database for OWB and Oracle Workflow? Any direction would be helpful.

Hi,
Have you found an answer? If not read on.
We are also having the same combination.
1. Identify a target server (datawarehouse server).
2. Install 10G database on it (create a seed database with DWH option).
3. Install OWB
4. Install workflow server.
Then , make OWB setups :
1. Install a design repository, through which the team can carry out ETL in the OWB client.
2. Install a runtime repository which creates 2 users - a runtime repository owner and a runtime access user('connect as') user when deploying the ETL mappings.
3. Install a target schema using the runtime where the target objects - tables, dimensions and cubes will be created.
Then, in OWB, the team have to configure the source modules as 9i and the target modules as 10g.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Usha

OWB and OEM Version ERROR (Urgent)

Hi All,
I am using OracleWarehouse builder version 9.2.0.2.0.8 and OEM version 9.2.0.2.0.10 and i am getting error while creating cubes in OEM. Is it due to different versions of OWB and OEM.
Please Let me know, if anyone knows about it.
with regards
Mukesh Harjai

Hi Mukesh,
You do not need to create the dimensions in OEM, you can use Warehouse Builder to do this.
On how to do this, check out this viewlet: http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/htdocs/OLAP_viewlet_swf.html, and perhaps take a look at the following whitepaper: http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/pdf/Enabling_OLAP_with_OWB.pdf.
Thanks,

Is Teststand able to install and implement on Linux system

Hi,
I was using Testsand on windows before,
Just want to know that if NI Teststand able to install and implement on Linux/Unix system?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since TestStand is an ActiveX Server and i am not aware of any well written ActiveX wrappers for Linux, i doubt that it will work.
Officially, TestStand is only supported for Windows. So if you achieve by any what-so-ever-open-source-code to install and run TestStand on Linux, you wont get any support from NI if anything unexpected happens.

Why and How is Linux is Suitable OS for Oracle !

Can anybody help me in finding Clues that how Linux
Operating System suitable in all way for the Oracle?
What is the reason behind that technological point of view and also in all ways?
Please provide me the answer with some suitable links and hints.
Rest is fine
Oracle is not just a Database, its lifeStyle.

Here is an answer to your question:
THE CASE FOR LINUX
Oracle has adopted Linux as the default operating system for the Oracle10g Grid Computing software platform. There are five key factors driving Linux adoption by Oracle customers today.
1. Linux is focused.
Other operating systems may offer broader, deeper functionality than Linux, but Linux offers all the functionality needed to gain maximum advantage from Oracle. Alternative operating systems may have better scalability, availability and manageability, but Oracle now delivers those benefits via functionality delivered above the operating system (RAC). Linux is fit for purpose in an Oracle environment.
Customers can have full confidence in the suitability of Linux for use in an Oracle environment because Oracle's Linux Kernel Development Team has been working for several years now to ensure that Linux has all the features needed to fully support Oracle software.
2. Linux is ubiquitous, popular and vendor neutral.
The Linux operating system is available for almost every hardware environment. Once an organisation has Linux skills, those skills can be leveraged across commodity servers, RISC servers and even on the mainframe. Linux is popular and there are many skilled Linux resources available today. Linux is also vendor neutral, so companies are happy running it on machines from a wide variety of vendors including Sun, HP, IBM and Dell.
3. Linux is fully supported by Oracle.
The open source nature of Linux allows Oracle to offer comprehensive, code-level support for the Linux operating system. Oracle has back-to-back agreements with Red Hat and Novell which ensure that any fixes created by Oracle in response to customer issues are woven back into the base Linux distributions. Linux is the only operating system that is engineered and supported by Oracle today.
4. Linux is fast, open and reliable.
Linux is a high quality operating system. The open source development process ensure that Linux is built to a quality standard, not a release date. The enormous community of Linux users combined with its open source nature ensure that the Linux kernel is very stable. Linux has been shown to deliver exceptional levels of performance and reliability on commodity hardware.
5. Linux has been adopted and endorsed by Oracle.
Larry Ellison has said "We will be running our whole business on Linux" and today Oracle is just about there. The majority of Oracleâs developers now work on Linux, Oracle runs its internal ERP and CRM systems on Linux and Oracle hosts many customer systems on Linux. Oracle's public adoption and promotion of Linux has been an important factor in the rapid take-up of Linux by the Oracle customer base.
I hope this helps.

Help to start iSQL*PLUS and OEM services

Here is what I did in trying upgrade 10.1 to 10.2 on Windows:
1. use Oracle Universal Installer installed 10.2 in a separated ORACLE_HOME;
2. run pre-upgrade assistant (utlu102i.sql)
3. run Net Configuration Assistant to congired listner
4. run DBUA ( however message shows that database already upgraded)
At this point, new instance is up. new listner is working, but iSQL*PLUS and oem services didn't even be recognized by OS.
From Universal Installer, I saw iSQL*PLUS and OEM were installed. What I am missing here in order to start services of iSQL*PLUS and OEM?

Well, the instance is running properly. sqlplus also works fine. Because there is no new OEM service available if you look at Services list, how it could be meaningful to connect to OEM through a browser? As fact, browser can not connect to OEM.
Do I need to reinstall 10.2?

Password policy and OEM

So we have a password policy that automatically locks accounts on 3 attempts.
When OEM sends a saved preferred credential to a database. it looks like it has several attempt before it prompts you via the login panel for the credentials.
By the time you reach the login panel the account is already locked because it looks like OEM has had several attempts against the database already.
So what we have is a situation where our password policy is out of sync with what OEM v 10 expects.
The only way it works is if the DBA unlocks the account prior to my hitting login from the login screen.
This is all because I've had to change my password ever 60 days and OEM has remembered my old password which now is no longer valid against the
target database.
Thoughts?

If preferred credentials are specified, OEM uses those credentials and checks if the login can be performed with those credentials. But, if the saved preferred credentials are different from what the database is configured, we will run into the max_failed_attempts usecase.
The same preferred credentials will be used by background jobs and so if the password is changed on the database without updating the preferred credentials, the account could be locked out quickly if there are any background jobs.
Also, OEM provides command line scripts (emcli update_db_password) that can be used to update the password in the database as well as update the preferred credentials with the same password, which is the recommeded way to change password when they are used in preferred credentials.
