External table in Oracle 10g and Windows server 2003

I'm having a problem accessing an external table in an Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 server environment. The disk is remote (mapped) to the server. It's the usual access errors, kup-04001 or kup-04063.
I have the [seemingly] exact same setup in an Oracle 9i and Windows 2000 server environment which works perfectly. Services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
In the Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 environment, services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the mapped disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
Does anyone know if something changed in either the db or the os?
Thank you,
Michael

Version 9.2.04.
Server "A" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM. Server "B" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM and is where the flat files reside. SYSTEM has full permissions on a disk local to Server "B". Database directoriies defined on Server "A" point to Server "B" remote disk. External Tables on Server "A" are defined with directories that point to Server "B" remote (mapped) disk. I have no problems with this configuration.
I'm having a problem acheiving the same configuration with Oracle 10g and Windows 2003. I guess I'm baffled over the fact it isn't working the same way as my "old" environment. Why shouldn't it? Oracle (and you) want me to start services as a specific user. It shouldn't have to be that way unless something changed in the way the database makes calls to the os or if Microsoft slipped something in with one of it's numerous security patches.

    This obviously effects mappings, deployments, etc.

    Thank you for your reply.
    Your proposal is the standard solution. As a matter of fact, that's how it is on my "old" system. Server "A" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM. Server "B" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM and is where the flat files reside. SYSTEM has full permissions on a disk local to Server "B". Database directoriies defined on Server "A" point to Server "B" remote disk. External Tables on Server "A" are defined with directories that point to Server "B" remote (mapped) disk. I have no problems with this configuration.

  • Oracle 10g on Windows Server 2003 Standard 64bit

    We are running Oracle 10g on Windows Server 2003 Standard 64bit Edition. I am NOT a DBA, so forgive my ignorance.
    We have 16GB of physical memory in this server. I was told by a DBA that Oracle runs on "a single process", and because of that, he said that Windows Server 2003 Standard will only allow 2GB max for a single process.
    Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

    This sounds more lika a Windows issue. If both Windows and app is "64-bit", I would expect the user virtual address space (per process) to be in the TiB range, if not larger.
    (The said 2GiB limit applies to a 32-bit system.)

  • How to overwrite a log and bad file in external table in oracle 10g

    Hi,
    I have used external table in oracle 10g.whenever use select query in external table orace internally create one log file in specified directory,
    but this log file is growing.How can i overwrite the log file(old to replace with new).I need overwrite a log and bad file in external table.
    kindly give the solutions.
    By
    Siva

    I don't believe that is possible with the LOGFILE clause, but it may be with the BADFILE clause. Here is an excerpt from the documentation :
    The LOGFILE clause names the file that contains messages generated by the external tables utility while it was accessing data in the datafile. If a log file already exists by the same name, the access driver reopens that log file and appends new log information to the end. This is different from bad files and discard files, which overwrite any existing file. NOLOGFILE is used to prevent creation of a log file.
    If you specify LOGFILE, you must specify a filename or you will receive an error.
    If neither LOGFILE nor NOLOGFILE is specified, the default is to create a log file. The name of the file will be the table name followed by _%p and it will have an extension of .log.

  • Installing Oracle 10g on Windows Server 2008

    Hi,
    I want to install Oracle 10g on Windows Server 2008. As per Oracle, I should install 10.2.0.3 and then apply patchset 10.2.0.4.
    For that, one has to sign in to metalink which is possible only for customers. I am
    using Oracle only for educational purposes for now. Is there any other way of using Oracle 10g on Windows 2008?
    Thanks,
    Vladi

    Of course if you don't have support and for educational purpose only , you should compromise a little by either install other OS or get virtual machine like VMware.
    Or stay with 10.2.0.3, that should work in most cases.

  • Replication of table from Oracle 10g to sql server 2000

    Could i replicate table from Oracle 10g to sql server online. we have tables with same configuration and if any change happen in oracle 10g or sql server in that table we need to replicate that change to other database.
    What is the solution for this two way replication between sql server and Oracle 10g

    But the tutorial is saying that i will have to install Oracle database on the server already having sql server, is it client or whole database, if it is then it will acquire lot of resource.
    I want to find out that for Heterogenous Service ODBC, we need third party software for ODBC Driver of SQL SERVER for Linux and secondly if we use Transparent Gateway then what are the steps for its configuration.
    I could not find steps of configuration of Transoparent gateway, when i am trying to install Transparent gateway from Universal installer, it is not there. where do i find it , Do i need to purchase it too.

  • Oracle 10gR2 on Windows Server 2003 R2

    What is the patchset for Oracle 10gR2 on Windows Server 2003 R2? I have check 'Patches/Updates' tab but the patch p5337014_10203_WINNT.zip is ONLY dowloadable from Microsoft Windows (32 bit)
    platform? Is there a separate 10.2.0.3 patch for Microsoft Windows 2003 (x86)
    Version 2003 R2? Please advice.
    My current Oracle version is 10.2.0.1 and I am trying to upgrade to 10.2.0.3

    I don't think that this is the place to ask about downloads external to OTN. See forum description. Questions about the patches from Metalink (after searching/reading existing Notes and still not coming up with a definitive answer) should in general be directed to Metalink (e.g. open a SR).
    With that said.. If you are asking on how to retrieve the patch set via Metalink interface, then you should turn to Patches & Updates (one of the main tabs). Use e.g. Simple Search or Quick Links to the Latest... to drill down.
    When you have found a patch set, the Patch Set readme documents system requirements and other vital information.
    If you are looking for other information regarding patches and patching, the first place to look is again Metalink. Certification and supportability information can be found via Certify tab. There are several "tactical" Notes such as 161549.1 and 316900.1 useful for supporting your own procedures and for finding further information.

  • JRE Error : while Install oracle 10gR2 on Windows Server 2003

    Hello,
    I am trying to install a Oracle 10gR2 on windows server 2003.
    I have unziped the files and when I run the oui.exe it gives the below error:
    cannot find any matches for wildcard specification "../stage/components/oracle.swd.jre/1.5.0.0./1/DataFiles/*.jar
    Error : JRE missing in Scratch Path
    I tried changing the oraparmaini file but it did not allow to make any changes.
    Not sure if its looking for any particular java files.
    What should i edit ,to specify the java location.
    Thanks

    What exactly did you unzip? This error occurs if there are several zip-files extracted to different target locations. But - if I remember correctly - 10gR2 database is only one zip-file, so you should not face this issue. JRE for OUI is part of the downloaded software,so you don't need to specify a location for JRE, OUI knows where to find this.

  • About memory issue during installing Oracle 11g on Windows Server 2003

    Hi, all
    When I installed Oracle 11g on Windows Server 2003 which the server is a virtual server, Oracle only can detect 2G memory.
    But there are 4G memory with my server.
    I want to know if the Oracle 11g's new feature or the virtual server lead the issue.
    Also , I want to get your help to resolve the issue, thanks a lot.

    Let me get this straight:
    You have created some virtual machine using someone's unknown VM software.
    You have installed Windows Server 2003 (perhaps, but not confirmed 32-bit) to that VM.
    You have allocated 4GB of memory to the VM (we guess ... not sure I'm ready to take your word on this)
    You are attempting to install Oracle 11g (presumably 11gR1 32 bit for Windows) in the VM
    And the Oracle (installer?) seems to be reporting that you only have 2GB RAM.
    Since I personally have installed Oracle 11g 32bit for Windows on Windows 2003 server with 4GB RAM and had no issues, I would be investigating the (unknown) VM environment.

  • HELP! Oracle 9i on Windows Server 2003

    Hi, if I go to download the 9.0.2.1.0 release 2 of Oracle 9i for Windows Server 2003 there is only a patch and another small zip file, and not the full 3 Disk zip files? Then if you read the release notes under the zip links it points to the 9.0.2.1.0 release 2 of Oracle 9i for Windows 2000/XP? And then talks about applying some patches...
    Can someone confirm that I do need to install the 9.0.2.1.0 release 2 of Oracle 9i for Windows 2000/XP on the Windows 2003 Server and then apply these patches?
    TIA

    This is the release option for the Windows 2003 Server:
    Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal/Client Edition
    for Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)
    but like I mentioned above it only has a patch and another small zip file which is obviously not the complete Oracle9i database:

  • Which VMware support Windows 7 as Host and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS

    Folks,
    Hello. I need to install PeopleSoft PIA in Windows Server 2003.
    Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium Editon and cannot dual boot multiple Operating systems. I have to install VMware in Host Windows 7 and then install Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS for PIA.
    I have installed VMware Server 2.0.2 into Host Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333/ui cannot display any more.
    I have found that Windows 7 is not a supported Host Operating System for VMware Server 2 and strange thing might happen anytime. I found that "VMware Player 3" is fully supported Windows 7 as Host OS but is not supported Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS.
    Does any folks know which VMware product support Windows 7 as Host OS and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS ?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
    1.   
    Ensure the printer is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 and the drivers are up-to-date.
    2.   
    Try the following method:
    Printers that use ports that do not begin with COM, LPT,
    or USB are not redirected in a remote desktop or a terminal services session
    Hope this helps. Thanks.
    Regards,
    Nicholas Li - MSFT
    That doesn't apply to Windows 7 Machines. I'm having the same problem as Acer_, I have a RDP Session from a Windows 7 Machine to a Windows XP machine and the local printer was available a few days ago but isn't anymore. The drivers are installed on both PC's
    and are compatible with Windows 7.

  • Error installing 10g on Windows Server 2003

    I am trying to install Oracle 10g on a Windows Server 2003 box. I'm following the instructions listed here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/10gr2_db_single/install/wininst/wininst_otn.htm
    Everything seems to go fine up until step 8. My Oracle Net Configuration Assistant fails. I get an error dialog titled "java.exe - Entry Point Not Found" the error message is "The procedure entry point longjmp could not be located in the dynnamik link library orauts.dll."
    Does anyone have an idea what's wrong here?
    Thanks,

    The OUI 10.2.0.1 of the base release software distribution was used to install the new
    component from the base release on top of the 10.2.0.2 Oracle Home.
    The OUI 10.2.0.1 is not compatible with the 10.2.0.2 orauts.dll installed under the Oracle Home. OUI 10.2.0.1 and 10.2.0.2 are using different versions of orauts.dll. The OUI 10.2.0.2 located under %ORACLE_HOME%\oui\bin should be used for installing any new component (from the base release):
    1. Run the setup.exe program located under %ORACLE_HOME%\oui\bin
    2. Select the "products.xml" from the 10.2.0.1 DVD under database\stage or under the staging area
    3. Select the component to be installed
    4. After installing the additional component from the base release software distribution,
    re-apply the current patchset, e.g. 10.2.0.2

  • Cannot Install Portal 10g on Windows Server 2003

    Downloaded Portal 10G from downloads server (as_windows_x86_portal_wireless_101200) to a new Windows 2003 Server. Attempt to install, get the series of messages "checking prerequisites" ending with "All installer requirements met."
