First Steps On Oracle

I'm new to databases. I finished installing Oracle9i and I have passwords for two accounts, SYS and SYSTEM.
I can log into isqlplus through http or sqlplus on the command line as SYSTEM, however it doesn't work for SYS.
When I try to log in as SYS it says:
ORA-28009: connection to sys should be as sysdba or sysoper
Well what is the proper method of creating a database. I imagine that I need to create a user account. Is this done while connected as SYSTEM? What are the first steps to take after installation, not that the database is installed correctly?

I can log in like that from the command line:
[prompt]$ sqlplus '/ as sysdba'
SQL>
However how do I log in as sysdba with the browser interface, for example:
[prompt]$ galeon http://myaddress:7778/isqlplus
The browser interface asks me for:
username:
password:
connection identifier:
When I try to enter sysdba as the user name, what password do I use? the SYS password doesn't seem to work. Yet I can purely log in as SYSTEM using SYSTEM's password and it works. I used my Global Database Name for the connection identifier.
Should I just create the new user from the console and log in as the new user from the browser interface? Maybe it's not possible to log in as sysdba using the browser interface because the browser want's passwords.
One more question. What is the significance of a SID? When/how do I use that?

First steps on Oracle RAC 10g

Hi, Can I install Oracle Rac on one pc(nodes, storage,oracle software)? it means, I want to make some tests in order to learn about Oracle RAC. My computer has Centos 5.1 and Oracle Database 10g. I searched on Internet, but tutorial are too advanced. If you know about some sites for beginners, please, write the urls.
Thanks

Mapping LDAP Role in Building Your First Process with Oracle BPM 11g

I'm working on "Building Your First Process with Oracle BPM 11g" I'm at the end of step where assigns user for the requester. The problem is in identity lookup, "Realm" is empty for Remote_WLServer.
Servers are up and running. Demo user community has been loaded - I can see the list of users and groups in the administration server under myrealm. We haven't done much since SOA suite 11g installation. I'm probably the first one who uses this. I wonder we have a missing set up? Can you me what's missing? Appreciate your help in advance.

I get this error message when I clicked gear icon.
"Server exception is : Connection refused from server"
Here is the result of testing Remove_WLServer connection. Does this cause the issue?

Upgrade steps needed - Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g in RHEL 4

Hello,
Am in the process of upgrading oracle 10g with 10.1.4.3 IDM,10.1.0.5 DB and 10.1.4.2 portal version to Oracle 11g. Now I see that there are some compatibilities in the OS. I have RHEL 4 and when I check the compatibility guide I see that it is possible to install/upgrade the oracle to 11g. But am worried on the kernel and packages which is needed for Oracle 11g. If there is any step by step assistance on this please guide me. Also I have an another query can I upgrade the OS RHEL 4 to RHEL 5 and then Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g. Will I be seeing any issue after the OS upgrade with product upgrade. Kindly advise me.
R/Ganesh

This is all about libraries, some libraries between RHEL 4 and 5 had change and this may lead to malfunction of some products, cause they have been copiled using old libraries that doesn't exist now, even I think in the upgradres there are compatibility modes where let you keep old libraries, anyway seems a difficult thing to do. If you plan to move RHEL 4 to 5, I think this is your first step and then install again the Portal in the old version, and then make the upgrade, If you make this step by step, as firts install RHEL 5, install db, install portal, upgrade DB and finaly upgrade portal, would be easier.

Slow first connection using Oracle 10g xe and Visual Studio 2008

{noformat}
Good day,
I'm slightly unaccustomed to using forums, so bear with me.
My initial connection to the Oracle database takes approximately 30 seconds. It seems to be waiting for a connection before timing out and trying another connection which works, as all subsequent connections work immediately. I'm unsure how other people's responses in forums can help me due to the plethora of configurations, so here's mine. My comprehension of the oracle world is still growing, you'll have to explain the terms you're using for me, Hoping you can help.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008, set to use 32 bit debug mode, on a Windows 7 Pro platform. Also using Oracle 10g Xe, and have installed the 32 bit version of ODAC 11.2 (11.2.0.1) to aid making a connection from Visual Studio to Oracle.
I have a database set up and a user with system admin rights. This is all local for a programming project and will never see the light of day outside of my personal machine.
I am using code to connect, not the GUI. I wish to code this project completely without the aid of the GUI. so my connection string within Visual Studio C# is (pw/id hidden)...
string xe = "Data Source=xe;User Id=xxxxx;Password=xxxxx;";
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(xe);
My c:\devsuitehome\network\admin\sqlnet.ora file is this:
# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
And my c:\devsuitehome\network\admin\TNSNames.ora file is this:
tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = xe)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <machine name)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = PLSExtProc)
Just for good measure, my tnsping xe shows:
"Used paramter files:<br/>
c:\devsuitehome\network\admin\sqlnet.ora<br/><br/>
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias<br/>
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = xe)))
OK (0 msec)"
So, how can I make that initial connection faster so I don't spend 15 years testing my application due to slow start-ups? :)
Thank you.
Kevin.

I have formatted my hard drive since my first post. I was running window 64 bit with a higher version of the ODAC and that proved to crash my machine with faulty error messages about memory. I have reverted to a previous version of the ODAC tools and everything works very smooth now. Still the connection time is consistently 20 seconds or longer on the first attempt.
Just a little more information.. I am currently taking a college course with 15 other students, as you can tell by the impersonal machine name, where programming using visual studio 2008, and Oracle 10g xe is expected. All of us are using a 64 bit environment and we all have difficulties cutting down the load time of making the first connection to Oracle. Some people are longer making the connection, but none are shorter.
One other note. After the first connection is made, taking 20 or more seconds, and is closed, all subsequent openings of the connection are instantaneous, for all of us.
If there is ANYTHING more I can get for you, please let me know. With my environment stable as it is, I will not need to format or change any information for the foreseeable future.
Here is the information you requested
1 The connection method I am using, I have chosen the manual connection for you, however the delay exists if the connection is made through the GUI as well.
Historically, I am getting slow connection speeds through adding the connection through the GUI or by a manual connection. Here is how I am doing it manually. I have the connection being created in 20 seconds, which is the best I can get.

I fought for weeks about the ODAC version 11.2.0.1 that you see in the previous post, and that would be a whole new thread. Suffice it to say I have a reliable environment to program in with this 10.2.0.1.0 version that I am running now, and the connection time has not changed, it is still minimum 20 seconds load time, sometimes up to 25.

Human task as first step of a BPEL process

Hello every one, thanks in advice for your replays,
My version is Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.3.1.0. I've tried the search but didn't find satisfying answer.
First I will try to describe use case I'm trying to solve using BPEL and standard bundled Worklist App.
I have defined a fairly straight human-centric process witch should be initiated by human data entry or (XOR) by input message (WS call) from third party application. I've read the documentation but haven't find any way how to define BPEL human task that will instantiate the process. In other words is it possible to create human task with form and use this task/form as an process initiator in Worklist App ?
I'm aware that i can create an external form (not BPEL human task form) witch can be embedded in Worklist App and call the engine JAVA API. But this is no the case since i will have to manage the two independent components of my single business process - keeping them in sync.
I don't think that initiating a process an then picking the first step from a queue to entry form data is elegant ant efficient solution (maybe my view is influenced by other BPM product i was working with).
Also since it is a micro project i cant afford writing my own Worklist App with dynamic form binding.
So friends please help with your ideas and solution's
Kind Regards,
Michal

Eric, hope it's not because my english..
Standard BPEL process is usually initiated by client HTTP/SOAP call which passes initial set of data to process (i.e Oracle BPEL Console Dashbord Post XML Message functionality, or some third party application WS call with process data). Oracle BPEL Console generates form based on BPEL Process WSDL, thats great for ad hoc testing but i need bit more.
I' would like to have a functionality that will dosimilar stuff as Console but in a worklist application further more I would like to have a way to define the form of this firs step and have that definition with my BPEL process project in JDeveloper.
Business case for such need is as follows:
+ Greenfield process area
+ No application supporting those processes
+ No know other rigger then phone call or fax

How to skip first step in a FPM roadmap?

Hello, Our client wants the first step disabled/not displayed in a standard roadmap that has been delivered with the software. The standard roadmap uses component FPM_GAF_COMPONENT and consists of 4 steps (and is based on an application config and component config). They want to directly display the second step with certain values in the second screen pre-populated from a custom application (the second screen would in normaly flow be populated from first screen). So I have two tasks:
1) disable first screen/step
2) populate second screen/step with data from custom application
This is my first exposure to FPM and roadmaps. I tried deleting the first step from the component configuration and making the current 3 step process into a 3 step process, but this does not work and did not seem to be the way to go. On looking around I see some documentation for methods HIDE_MAINSTEP to be used thru IF_FPM_GAF interface, but am not sure where to implement this interface or what code to use in the method.
Can anyone provide step by step suggestions and examples of codes please?
Thanks,
Zack

Thanks Harish.
I was able to get to the HIDE_MAINSTEP method. However, when I try to hide step 1, which is my requirement, there is a short dump. If I hide step 2 or 3 out of the 4 step process, the sequence of screens is showing up appropriately. However, when I hide step 1, there seems to be some problem in mehod WDDOMODIFYVIEW of view CNR_VIEW of component FPM_GAF_COMPONENT where in a loop for the first loop pass, even though step 1 is hidden, the code is trying to access the road_map_step element which is not instantiated. We have opened a note for this issue.

I am not allowed to sign in with my Apple ID on iTunes Connect when I am trying to publish my book in iBooks Author. I do not understand why because I have fulfilled the first steps creating an account and informed my IRS tax number...

The recommendation is always to make another ID for use with a paid books account. And while I can't swear this is at the root of your issue, you should in any case reach out to Apple for assistance on this one, I think.

QT 7.2 & iPhone - First Step to Ringtones?

The new QT 7.2 has an export to iPhone and iPhone cellular.
It only shows as "Movie", but exports "audio only" files also.
Could this be the first step in giving us personalized ringtones?
Maybe, unfortunately we'll need to wait and see
ajm

This is very interesting. I just downloaded QT 7.2 because of your post. There are obviously two options, export to iPhone and export to iPhone (cellular). I tried both of them. Export to iPhone appears to convert the movie into mp4 format with little change to the file size. On the other hand, export to iPhone (cellular) reduces the file size to 1/10 of the original size. I am not sure how one can use the latter option. Does anyone have any clue?

Using diskpart as the very first step in TS

Hi,
I want to have a very first in TS as hard drive clean and partitioning it. so once WinPE is downloaded, system reboots, it will check 'IsLaptop' or 'IsDesktop' condition and if its Laptop, it should clean the disk 0 and parition it. I have tried to achieve
this but i am getting an error. Its a MDT based TS in Configuration manager 2012 R2 (MDT 2013 is integrated). Laptops are encrypted and just need to be wiped and reload without databackup. I feel this is the easiest way to have dispart clean the disk, recreate
partition based on condition if its laptop.
Steps i am doing is :
1. diskpart. exe /s diskpart.txt - first step in TS, and has condition to run only if 'IsLaptop equals True'. I have created package for diskpart.txt ( i am wondering if this could be an issue, if it tries to download the package on hdd and hdd doesn't have
partition yet)
2. set imageosver to 6.1 - since its for windows 7
3. Format and partition disk 6.1 - will format and create 2 partitions 'OS disk' and 'BDE'
then other steps starts like Use toolkit package, gather and UDI wizard.

You could have the Format/Partition steps run only if the Chassis/Model type = that of a laptop or one of your laptop models. If those parameters aren't met (e.g. PC is not one of the desktop models or doesn't have a the laptop ChassisTypes), the partition/format
steps wont' run.
I've ran into issues when trying to run commandline steps that require files to copy down first. I have the best luck when the drive(s) are properly cleaned, repartitioned, and formatted first.

User change password after first logging in Oracle 11g

Hi
Can you help someone in connection with this problem:
user can not change password after first logging in Oracle 11g
All the best
Ragip Avdijaj

Sounds like they are not getting logged in at all, so they are never getting to the point where they can change the password, but we need to see more detail to give a better answer (an example or copy-paste of a sqlplus session might help)
