Hi,
All current information can be found on the note 1398634 - Oracle database 11g: Integration in SAP environment:
Oracle 11.2 for SAP Kernel 6.40, 7.x  and higher
Oracle Version 11.2 will be released for these SAP kernel versions. In these kernel versions, basically only those SAP product versions that will still be at least part of SAP Extended Maintenance in 2010 will be released for Oracle 11.2.

  • Does Oracle 11gR2 XE run on VM

    Does Oracle 11gR2 XE run on Virtual Machine? Is there any restriction to run Oracle XE on virtual machine?

    XE is free to use, subject to these restrictions - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18802/toc.htm#BABIECJA
    Your VM OS may or may not be free. What is the purpose of using this XE install ? If it is for personal learning, then you can install VM (Virtualbox at http://www.virtualbox.org), Oracle Enterprise Linux (from http://linux.oracle.com) and 11g XE for free.

  • Oracle 11gR2 RAC: Running the script root.sh problem

    Folks,
    Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
    http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
    I have been installing Grid Infrastructure using runInstaller from step 1 to step 9 of 10 in both VM rac1 and rac2.
    Now, I am running the script root.sh in VM rac1 and rac2 as below:
    [root@rac1 /]# /u01/app/grid/root.sh
    Output:
    CRS-4123: ohasd is starting
    FATAL: Module oracleoks not found
    FATAL: Module oracleadvm not found
    FATAL: Module oracleacfs not found

    ACFS-9310: ADVM/ACFS installation failed.
    ACFS-9311: not all components were detected after installation
    'UpdateNodeList' was successful.
    [root@rac1 /]#
    [root@rac2 /]# /u01/app/grid/root.sh
    Output:

    Start of resource "ora.asm_init" failed.
    Failed to start ASM.
    Failed to start Oracle Clusterware Stack.
    [root@rac2 /]#
    As we see the output above, rac1 and rac2 get the same problems. in addition, rac2 fails to start ASM and Clusterware stack. Thus, I have 2 questions:
    First, the common problem for rac1 and rac2 :
    1)Module "oracleoks, oracleadvm, oracleacfs" not found
    2)/dev/asm/.asm_ctl_spec not detected
    3)ADVM/ACFS installation failed
    Do the above 3 factors affect Grid and DataBase Installation later ? If yes, how to solve these problems ?
    Second, how to start ASM and Clusterware stack in rac2 ?
    Thanks.

    you have 2 options:
    1. OEL 5.6 comes with 2 kernels, the original Red Hat, and Oracle UEK, you can choose not to use UEK
    or the one i would recommend:
    2. Upgrade Grid Infrastructure,
    *11.2.0.3.1* (patch 13348650, released about a 1 month ago) supports ACFS on UEK (starting with 2.6.32.200 IIRC)

  • Enable hyperthreading for virtualized Oracle 11gR2 database (OEL57 64-bit)?

    We are virtualizing our Oracle 11gR2 databases (running on OEL57 64-bit) on Vmware 5.1. I've read information at various locations that hyperthreading is not recommended for Oracle 11g database. One example is here, however, I seen many more:
    http://bryangrenn.blogspot.com/2011/08/hyperthreading.html
    My issue is that Vmware themselves recommends enabling hyperthreading for virtualized Oracle databases in their Oracle Databases on VMware Best Practices Guide.
    Does anyone have any practical experience with this issue that can be shared? What are the advantages and disadvantages of enabling hyperthreading for our virtualized Oracle 11gR2 on OEL57 64-bit virtual machines

    If you read the comments on that blog you will see that the results are highly dependent on the type of CPU.
    The effects can also be dependent on the nature of the workload: you may have CPUs that are fine with an OLTP workload, but don't scale as you might hope with a DW workload.

       Hello AkankshaSheoranKaler
    We have done the following, but we aren't able to resolve this issue. Thank you for your help!
    lf
    “This  happen if the software library is not accessible, readable or unmounted (if it is in shared file system).”
    On Enterprise Manager server [nsn175-105], we did the following:
    1. we modified /etc/exports to include this line: /export *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)
    we start nfs service by executing command “service nfs start”.  
    On Management Agent server (nsn175-89), we verified that we are able to mount /export directory of EM server.
    On Management Agent server, we started firefox browser and were able to run successfully https://nsn175-105.us.oracle.com:4904/empbs/genwallet
    After making this change, we ran agent deployment again. We encountered the same error as shown above.
    “You can fix the software library or you can download the agent bits in offline mode.”
    For fixing the software library, select Setup->Provision and Patching->Offline Patching, then select Offline Patching radio button, download: https://updates.oracle.com/download/em_catalog.zip. Next upload this zip file.
    “Try downloading the bits again”
    We are not sure what agent bits are. Would you please explain this and provide procedure how we can download this?
    (Here I have attempted to fix the software library, but I am new to Enterprise Manager and not sure how to interpret this).

  • Oracle 11gR2 certification for Oracle Linux 6

    Hello,
    According to Oracle documentation, database certification and support for Oracle 11gR2 under Oracle Linux starts with 11.2.0.3.
    I was wondering if this might have anything to do with the i386 software prerequisites. Speaking of Oracle 11gR2 x86_64, the need for i386 libraries was removed with 11gR2 11.2.0.2. Or in other words, one can go straight to 11.2.0.2 without the need to install any 32-bit libraries.
    Under Oracle Linux 5 x86_64, the "oracle-validated" package triggers the installation of several i386 packages. Under Oracle Linux 6 x86_64, the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package uses x86_64 only. Under Oracle Linux 6, i386 changed to i686.
    For what it's worth, I have installed Oracle 11gR2 database 11.2.0.1 under Oracle Linux 6.1 to 6.3, both x86_64, simply by using the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package, and so far have not noticed any problems. Is there some information available, why 11.2.0.1 (x86_64) should not be used or is not certified for Oracle Linux 6 (x86_64)?
    Thanks.

    I was afraid of that. Since the question is Oracle Linux 6 specific, I thought I'd try my luck here, thinking that if I get an answer, then probably here. Maybe it was not very realistic to get an answer anyway.
    For what it's worth. Using "oracle-validated" under Oracle Linux 5, and "oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall" under Oracle Linux 6, I was able to install Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.1 just fine, both platforms x86_64 and 32-bit. I have not found any operational issues yet and it seems to run perfectly well.
    The only trouble I had was with Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.1, and here 11.2.0.3 is indeed required for it to install. I made a custom patch, just a few lines and after that 11.2.0.1, both x86_64 and 32-bit installed just fine and is fully operational.
    I'm though I could post the patch. I guess it might make those people happy who do not have access to Oracle support and download 11.2.0.3. The patch will allow them to use the 11gR2 OTN version and install it under Oracle Linux 6. It won't be certified, but it is good enough for the purpose of education.
    I'm closing the thread.

  • Oracle 11gR2 on Oracle Linux 6 64 bit

    Hi all,
    I am a newbie on oracle so i posted this thread because i needed some help installing oracle 11gR2 on Oracle Linux using command line
    This is for testing purposes.
    I did all the prerequisites by oracle for the operating system.
    I finished installing the database software from the setup ./runinstaller using x-terminal
    I think i configured well the listener, because i can access the database using simple with pl/sql
    The problem i have is with the dbconsole wich is accessed from the browser. I can't open it. from google chrome is says : This webpage is not available
    Any help would be appreciated
    Sorry for my english
    It's not my native language
    Be kind to check my site:
    http://lajm-shqip.com/

    Pl identify exact version of "11gR2"
    Currently only 11.2.0.3 is certified to be installed on Linux 6 - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/relnotes.112/e23558/toc.htm#CHDFHIEA
    If you are installing 11.2.0.1 or 11.2.0.2, you will need to use Linux 5.x

    h2. 1) Install Linux Ubuntu
    The following assumes you have installed Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop Edition for AMD 64-bit, or upgraded from a previous version. Keep in mind that Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition is only available for 64-bit architecture. It is not necessarily a requirement, but I would not bother to install Oracle 11gR2 XE on a system with less than 2 GB of RAM installed. You can download Ubuntu for free at: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu and install it using the default settings provided.
    You can apply the latest OS patch-sets by clicking the power button icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen and selecting "Updates available..."
    h2. 2) Remote Terminal
    You will need command line access to perform the installation tasks. Select the top "Dash Home" button of the Unity toolbar and enter the word "terminal", or use CTRL-ALT-t. If you prefer to open a remote terminal session use SSH. Ubuntu does not come with a secure shell login by default. To install it, use the following command:
    sudo apt-get install openssh-serverYou cannot login as root unless you set a root password using the "sudo passwd root" command. However, you can get root user access using the "sudo" command, which requires only to re-enter the password of your personal account. Access to "sudo" is controlled by the /etc/sudoers file.
    The best way to establish a remote command line session as root is to login with your personal account, e.g.: ssh [email protected], and then type "sudo su -" to become root, or use "sudo <command>" to execute individual commands. If your account does not have "sudo" access you can login as root using "su - root", but will need to know the root password.
    h2. 3) Install Additional Software
    Oracle 11g Express Edition requires additional software that is not installed by default:
    sudo apt-get install alien libaio1 unixodbch2. 4) Managing Swap Space
    Oracle demands that the minimum swap space for Oracle Database XE is 2 GB (2095100 KB) or twice the size of RAM, whichever is lesser. Enter the following shell command to verify your swap space:
    cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i swap
    SwapCached:            0 kB
    SwapTotal:       2095100 kB
    SwapFree:        2095100 kBYou can increase available swap space by using a swap file as long as disk space permits. The advantage of a swap file versus a swap partition is flexible space management because you can add or delete swap space on demand as necessary. The following will create and enable an additional 1 GB swap file at system startup, located in the /home directory:
    Login as root:
    sudo su -Enter the following commands:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/swapfile bs=1024 count=1048576
    mkswap /home/swapfile
    swapon /home/swapfile
    swapon -aCreate a backup of the original "fstab" file and add the new swap file:
    cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup_`date +%N`
    echo '/home/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstabExit from root and verify the new swap space:
    exit
    swapon -s
    Filename                    Type          Size     Used     Priority
    /dev/sda5                               partition     2095100     0     -1
    /home/swapfile                          file          1048572     0     -2Swap space is not a substitute for installed RAM. Swap space is a safeguard that allows the system to move idle processes to disk before the OOM killer will begin to terminate processes in order to free up enough real memory to keep the system operational. The general rule for sizing the swap space depends on the size of installed RAM. If your system has less then 4 GB of RAM the swap space should usually be at least twice this size. If you have more than 8 GB of RAM installed you may consider to use an equal size as swap space. The more RAM you have installed, the less likely you are going to run into memory starvation, and the less likely you are going to need swap space, unless you have a bad process.
    h2. 5) Modify Kernel Parameters
    Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition requires the following Kernel parameters. Enter the commands exactly as shown:
    Login as root:
    sudo su -Cut & paste the following directly into a command shell (not a text editor):
    cat > /etc/sysctl.d/60-oracle.conf <<-EOF
    # Oracle 11g XE kernel parameters
    fs.file-max=6815744
    net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range=9000 65500
    kernel.sem=250 32000 100 128
    # kernel.shmmax=429496729
    kernel.shmmax=107374183
    EOFLoad and verify the new kernel parameters:
    service procps start
    sudo sysctl -q fs.file-max
    sudo sysctl -q kernel.shmmax
    sudo sysctl -q net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range
    sudo sysctl -q kernel.sem The SHMMAX kernel parameter defines the upper memory limit of a process. It is a safeguard to stop a bad process from using all memory and causing RAM starvation. The Linux default is 32 MB. The official Oracle XE installation documentation suggests a value of 4 GB -1 bytes (429496729). Since Oracle 11g XE has a 1 GB memory limit, a smaller footprint will be a better safeguard for the complete system. Setting the SHMMAX parameter to 107374183 will be sufficient.
    h2. 6) Oracle Home Directory
    At the time of this writing, Enterprise Linux 6 is not supported for Oracle database yet. It is therefore not possible to confirm Oracle ext4 filesystem compatibility, which is default in Ubuntu 11. According to various information, ext4 may cause a performance problem for Oracle 11g database. The following will show you how to add a ext3 partition to your existing setup.
    h3. 6.a) Resize the Root Partition
    Provided you have sufficient free disk space, you should be able to resize the root partition to create an extra ext3 filesystem. Considering the 11 GB user datafile limit of the Express Edition, 18 GB should be more than enough.
    You can use the free Gparted Live CD to shrink your startup volume. Gparted downloads are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable. When burning the CD, pay attention to burn the raw .iso image and not the possibly "mounted" image. If you are using a virtual machine like Oracle Virtualbox, you can mount the .iso image directly. There are going to be a few prompts when the system starts from the CD, but you can press Return to accept the defaults.
    When the Gparted window appears:
    - Select your ext4 root partition, usually /dev/sda1
    - Select the "Resize/Move" button from the toolbar.
    - Enter 18000 into the "Free space following" field and press the Return key.
      Be careful not not change the start of the partition!
    - Click the "Resize/Move" of the dialog and then then the "Apply" toolbar button.
      The process may take several minutes - do not abandon it!
    - Select the new unallocated free space of ~ 18 GB and push the "New" button.
    - Set the file system to "ext3" and label it "oraclexe" and click the "Add" button.
      Be sure to label it oraclexe, otherwise the follow-up instructions will fail.
    - Finally select "Apply from the toolbar to apply the changes.
    - Quit "Gparted", select "Exit" from the desktop and choose "Reboot" to restart the system.
    {code}
    After the system has restarted, open a terminal command shell.
    Login as root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Backup "fstab" and add the UUID of the partition. The "tr" command remove the quotes:
    {code}
    cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_`date +%N`
    uuid=`blkid | grep oraclexe | awk '{print $3}'`
    uuid=`echo $uuid | tr -d '\042'`
    echo $uuid
    echo "$uuid  /u01  ext3  errors=remount-ro 0 1" >> /etc/fstab
    {code}
    The UUID is a unique number and should look similar to:
    {code}
    UUID=d1db753e-b5dd-4a4c-a61e-259c69867b58
    {code}
    Restart the system:
    {code}
    reboot
    {code}
    Verify the success:
    {code}
    df -h /u01
    {code}
    h3. 6.b) Setup External Storage
    If you prefer to setup an external drive to install Oracle XE, beware that it can be a fatal mistake to make an entry in /etc/fstab to automount your external storage device.  An unavailable device in /etc/fstab will prevent a system startup and prompt for appropriate actions at the console.
    The following is an example of how to prepare an external storage device to be used for Oracle 11g, including a script to automatically mount an external drive at system startup without the disadvantages of /etc/fstab. The script will also take into consideration that a device name might shift if you attach additional devices.
    To find out which USB devices are connected:
    {code}
    sudo parted -l
    {code}
    Look for the device that matches your USB storage. For example: /dev/sdb1
    {code}
    Model: USB 2.0 Flash Disk (scsi)
    Disk /dev/sdb: 2064MB
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
    Partition Table: gpt
    Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name     Flags
    1      20.5kB  1929MB  1929MB  hfs+         mystick
    {code}
    Initialize the device using ext3 filesystem - this will erase all data. The "-c" option will check for bad blocks (read-only), "-L" is the volume label:
    {code}
    sudo umount /dev/sdb1
    sudo mkfs.ext3 -c -L oraclexe /dev/sdb1
    {code}
    Install the pmount distribution package:
    {code}
    sudo apt-get install pmount
    {code}
    Login as root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Cut & paste the following into the command prompt (not a text editor):
    {code}
    cat > /etc/init.d/oracle-mount <<-EOF
    #! /bin/sh
    # /etc/init.d/oracle-mount
    VOL_UUID=alphanumeric
    VOL_LABEL=oraclexe
    VOL_SYMLINK=/u01
    mount=/usr/bin/pmount
    uuid2dev() {
       VOL_DEVICE="\`blkid | grep \$VOL_UUID | awk '{print \$1}'\`"
       VOL_DEVICE="\`echo \$VOL_DEVICE | tr -d ':'\`"
       echo \$VOL_DEVICE
    case "\$1" in
      start)
        echo "Starting script /etc/init.d/oracle-mount"
        uuid2dev
        \$mount \$VOL_DEVICE \$VOL_LABEL
        if [ -d /media/\$VOL_LABEL ]; then

    h2. 7) ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET
    Oracle 11gR2 XE under Ubuntu 11.10 will result in "ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not support on this system" either at Oracle database startup or during the initial installation. Ubuntu 11.10 uses a new version of the "systemd" system and session manager and has migrated away from /dev/shm and other common directories in favor of /run.
    There are several ways how to address the problem. You can either enable /dev/shm shared memory, or change the default memory management of Oracle 11g from AMM (Automatic Memory Management) to ASMM (Automatic Shared Memory Management) as it was in used the previous 10g version. Since AMM is one of the new features of 11g, the following will show you how to make to make AMM work.
    Login as root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Cut & paste the following into the command prompt (not a text editor):
    {code}
    cat > /etc/init.d/oracle-shm <<-EOF
    #! /bin/sh

    The upper limit of shared memory under Linux is set to 50 % of the installed RAM by default. If your system has less than 2 GB of RAM installed, there is still a chance to run into ORA-00845 error if your shared memory is used by other software.
    The verify available shared memory, type the following commands:
    {code}
    sudo df -h /run/shm
    {code}
    h2. 8) Installing Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition
    The final release version of Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition can be downloaded for free at http://otn.oracle.com/database/express-edition/downloads. The software should automatically downloaded into the "Downloads" folder of your home directory.
    Enter the following commands to unpack the installer:
    {code}
    cd ~/Downloads
    unzip oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip
    rm oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip
    {code}
    The Debian Linux based package management of Ubuntu is not compatible with the Red Hat package manager. The Oracle installer needs to be converted using the following commands:
    {code}
    cd ~/Downloads/Disk1
    sudo alien --to-deb --scripts oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
    (This may take a few minutes)
    rm oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
    {code}
    The following needs to be set for compatibility:
    {code}
    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
    sudo mkdir /var/lock/subsys
    {code}
    Ubuntu uses different tools to manage services and system startup scripts. The "chkconfig" tool required by the Oracle installer is not available in Ubuntu. The following will create a file to simulate the "chkconfig" tool.
    Login as root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Copy & paste the following *directly* into the command prompt to create a file:
    {code}
    cat > /sbin/chkconfig <<-EOF
    #!/bin/bash
    # Oracle 11gR2 XE installer chkconfig hack for Debian based Linux (by dude)
    # Only run once.
    echo "Simulating /sbin/chkconfig..."
    if [[ ! \`tail -n1 /etc/init.d/oracle-xe | grep INIT\` ]]; then
    cat >> /etc/init.d/oracle-xe <<-EOM

    {code}
    Exit root:
    {code}
    exit
    {code}
    Set execute privileges:
    {code}
    sudo chmod 755 /sbin/chkconfig
    {code}
    Install Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition entering the following commands:
    {code}
    cd ~/Downloads/Disk1
    sudo dpkg --install ./oracle-xe_11.2.0-2_amd64.deb
    (This may take a couple of minutes)
    {code}
    Run the configuration script to create (clone) the database and follow the screen. Accept the default answers, including "y" to startup the database automatically, or modify as required.
    {code}
    sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
    (This can take a few minutes - the installation completed successfully.)
    {code}
    To verify success, the procedure should end showing:
    {code}
    Starting Oracle Net Listener...Done
    Configuring database...Done
    Starting Oracle Database 11g Express Edition instance...Done
    Installation completed successfully.
    {code}
    Set a password for the Oracle account:
    {code}
    sudo passwd oracle
    {code}
    h2. 9) Post-Installation
    In order to use sqlplus and other tools, the Oracle account requires specific environment variables. The following will set these variables automatically at every Oracle login:
    Login as the Oracle user:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Copy the default account skeleton files and add the Oracle env script to .profile:
    {code}
    cp /etc/skel/.bash_logout ./
    cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ./
    cp /etc/skel/.profile ./
    echo "" >>./.profile
    echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profile
    {code}
    By default, the Oracle Database XE graphical user interface is only available at the local server, but not remotely. The following will enable remote logins:
    Login as the Oracle user:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Login as SYSDBA and execute the following:
    {code}
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS(FALSE);
    exit
    {code}
    See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/admin.112/e18585/toc.htm for more information.
    h3. a) Unity desktop configurations
    The Oracle XE menu under the previous Gnome Classic desktop shows several useful scripts to backup the database, start and stop the database, etc. Under the Unity based desktop this menu is not available. You can either switch to the Gnome Classic desktop as outlined in chapter 2, or perform the following steps to modify and copy the scripts as outlined below. The start and stop database scripts will also be modified to perform a progress feedback.
    Login as user root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Convert desktop files:
    {code}
    cd /usr/share/applications
    sed -i 's/Categories.*/Categories=Database;Office;Development;/g' oraclexe*
    sed -i 's/MultipleArgs/X-MultipleArgs/g' oraclexe*
    sed -i 's/MimeType.*/MimeType=application\/x-database/g' oraclexe*
    sed -i 's/.png//g' oraclexe*
    sed -i 's/Terminal=false/Terminal=true/g' oraclexe-startdb.desktop
    sed -i 's/Terminal=false/Terminal=true/g' oraclexe-stopdb.desktop
    {code}
    Exit root:
    {code}
    exit
    {code}
    Login as user Oracle:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Modify database start and stop scripts:
    {code}
    cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/scripts
    cp startdb.sh start.sh_orig
    cp stopdb.sh stopdb.sh_orig
    sed -i 's/>.*//g' startdb.sh
    sed -i 's/>.*//g' stopdb.sh
    {code}
    You will need SYSDBA privileges and set Oracle environment variables in order to use your regular user account.
    Login to your regular user account:
    {code}
    su - dude
    {code}
    Enter the folowing command:
    {code}
    sudo usermod -a -G dba dude
    {code}
    Then update your profile to automatically set the necessary Oracle environment variables:
    {code}
    echo "" >>./.profile
    echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profile
    {code}
    Update your Desktop folder to contain useful Oracle XE scripts:
    {code}
    cp /usr/share/applications/oraclexe* ~/Desktop
    chmod 750 ~/Desktop/oraclexe*
    {code}
    To verify success re-login and try "sqlplus":
    {code}
    su - oracle
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    {code}
    h2. 10) Tips and Troubleshooting
    h3. 10. a) Port 1521 appears to be in use by another application
    Error: Port 1521 appears to be in use by another application. Specify a different port.This error happens after a previously unsuccessful configuration attempt using /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure script. The script was able to start the Listener process, but most likely failed to continue  to clone the database, e.g. ORA-00845. The following should correct the problem:
    Determine the oracle listener process that is already running:
    {code}
    $ ps -ef | grep oracle
    {code}
    Your output should be similar to:
    {code}
    oracle   19789     1  0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/tnslsnr
    {code}
    Then kill the process, using the appropriate process id, for instance:
    {code}
    $ sudo kill -9 19789
    {code}
    h3. 10.b) cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/listener': No such file or directory
    Starting Oracle Net Listener...touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/listener': No such file or directoryThis error occurs when you run /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure, but failed the preinstallation step to create the /var//lock/subsys directory as outlined in chapter 8.
    h3. 10.c) ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET
    ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system See chapter 7 to enable /dev/shm and verify free space available in /run/shm
    h3. 10.d) Apex ADMIN password
    According to the Oracle documentation, the password for the INTERNAL and ADMIN Oracle Application Express user accounts is initially the same as the SYS and SYSTEM administrative user accounts. Well, I tried several times without success. To reset the Apex Admin password:
    Login as user oracle:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Login as SYSDBA and type the following:
    {code}
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    {code}
    At the SQL prompt, type the following to be prompted to change the password:
    {code}
    SQL> @?/apex/apxxepwd.sql
    exit
    {code}
    When done, open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
    Workspace: Internal
    Username: ADMIN
    Password: password you set with apxxepwd.sql
    I will prompt you to reset the password:
    old password: password you set with apxxepwd.sql
    new password: final_password
    You can also login as the Apex Admin using http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/apex_admin
    h3. 10.e) SYS and SYSTEM password
    Use the following commands to reset the SYS and SYSTEM passwords if necessary:
    Login as the Oracle user:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Login as SYSDBA and type the following at the SQL prompt:
    {code}
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> alter user sys identified by "password" account unlock;
    SQL> alter user system identified by "password" account unlock;
    SQL> exit
    {code}
    h3. 10.f) Uninstall Oracle 11g XE
    The following will completely uninstall and remove Oracle 11g XE:
    Open a terminal seesion and login as user root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Enter the following:
    {code}
    /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
    dpkg --purge oracle-xe
    rm -r /u01/app
    rm /etc/default/oracle-xe
    update-rc.d -f oracle-xe remove
    update-rc.d -f oracle-mount remove
    update-rc.d -f oracle-shm remove
    {code}
    h3. 10.g) Reconfigure Oracle 11g XE
    Type the following commands in a terminal window:
    {code}
    sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
    sudo rm /etc/default/oracle-xe
    sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
    {code}
    h3. 10.h) Gnome Classic desktop
    Ubuntu 11 moved from the Gnome Classic desktop to Unity and removed the "Ubuntu Classic" login option. Unity was designed to make more efficient use of space given a limited screen size and touch screens. If you prefer to use the Gnome Classic desktop, enter the following into a terminal window:
    {code}
    sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
    {code}
    To log into the Gnome Classic desktop, select the "Gearwheel" at the login screen and select "Gnome Classic".
    h3. 10.i) Unix vi cursor keys
    The instructions in this tutorial do not require the use of any text editor. However, if you would like use the backspace and cursor keys in the "vi-editor", the following needs to be installed:
    {code}
    sudo apt-get install vim
    {code}
    h3. 10.j) Backup Database
    In order to perform an online database backup using the supplied "Backup Database" script, the database needs to run in Archive-Log mode. This can be setup using the following commands:
    Login as the Oracle user:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Login as SYSDBA and type the following:
    {code}
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> shutdown immediate
    SQL> startup mount
    SQL> alter database archivelog;
    SQL> alter database open;
    SQL> exit
    {code}

    Excellent Blog. Thank You
    Small clarification on Step **6) Oracle Home Directory, ...a) Resize the Root Partition**
    Ubuntu 11.10 has Gparted available as a Ubuntu software download, DONT use that while trying the above step, instead download the ISO file from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/ gparted-live-0.12.0-5.iso (124.6 MB)
    Burn that ISO file on a Blank DVD, reboot the Ubuntu , during startup select Boot from DVD Option if not already selected. this will take to Boot Menu Options of Gparted Live then select the first menu option, and this allows to do further action such as Re-sizing .
    and once you have chosen and executed step a) . do NOT run step b) also that is "Setup External Storage"
    I hope this minor clarification can avoid some confusion

  • Create a database link to access SqlServer 2005 view from oracle 11gr2

    Hi All,
    Greetings for the day.
    Though I have seen quite a few posts but just wanted to cross-verfiy and double check hence posting.
    Oracle Database : 11gr2
    OS :SOLARIS SPARC 64 Bit
    SQL Server Database : Sql Server 2005
    OS : Windows 2003 32 Bit
    The requirement is to access a view residing in the SQL Server 2005 Database using the Oracle Database. This involves creation of a Database link in the Oracle Database to access the SQL Server.
    Can you suggest which approach should i follow ( I am able to understand that both do the same job ):
    How to Configure DG4MSQL (Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL Server) 64bit Unix OS (Linux, Solaris, AIX,HP-UX) post install [ID 562509.1]or
    How to Configure DG4ODBC on 64bit Unix OS (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX Itanium) to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install [ID 561033.1]Will they do the same job ? And can they be used on any OS and version of the SQL Server Database as version information for SQL Server is not specified anywhere?
    Please let me know so that I can it forward with Business for approvals and budgetting.
    Regards
    KK

    Your question is similar to the post: Oracle 11gr2 connection to Sql Server using dg4msql problem
    Please visit: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4658942/oracle-11gr2-connection-to-sql-server-using-dg4msql-problem
    Answer on the website:
    You seem to be using the Gateway for MySQL set-up rather than the Heterogeneous Gateway (for ODBC connections). Here is an overview of the process
    On SQL Server create a database user and give it read access to the database/tables you want to read via the Oracle database link.
    In the gateway home each SQL Server database you want to access should have an init.ora located in $OH/dg4msql/admin in the form initsid.ora where sid is the name of the database to be used in the link (e.g. initbob.ora), so create one
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=msserver1:1234//Example_Database
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
    HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
    HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
    HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL=READ_ONLY
    You must now add the new sid to the listener.ora in the gateway home using an additional SID_DESC section inside the existing SID_LIST, for example
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME=bob)
    (ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/gateway/product/11.2.0)
    (ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oracle/gateway/product/11.2.0/dg4msql/driver/lib;/oracle/gateway/product/11.2.0/lib)
    (PROGRAM=dg4msql)
    You should now stop and restart the gateway listener so that the new sid becomes active. NB a reload is not enough.
    You must now add the new sid in the tnsnames.ora file for the listener of each database in which you will create a link. You don't need to do this in the gateway home unless it is also a database home in which you will create a database link.
    bob =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = severname.example.com)(PORT = 1690))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = bob))
    (HS = OK)
    NB: The host and port are for the gateway not for the SQL Server database
    In each database that requires a link to the MS-SQL database you should create a database link to your new gateway sid.
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK bob
    CONNECT TO "ms_user" IDENTIFIED BY "ms-passwd" USING 'bob';
    where ms-user and ms-password are the SQL Server user you created right at the start.
    Now you can test the new database link
    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "Table_Name"@bob;
    Once you have this working you can alter the initsid.ora file to add parameters to suit your connection. If you do it this way you can easily add and manage many different databases via the gateway.

  • Is there any impact that apply Oracle CPU on standby and primary DB

    We plan to apply Oracle April CPU on standby DB at this weekend. Then apply the same patch on primary DB next weekend. If I apply the patch on standby, then enable redo apply between primary and standby, is there any impact on primary DB. Theoretically, I don't think so. However, both DBs are production. I want to make sure there is no any impact by applying CPU in different time. Otherwise, I have to apply both DBs at the same time. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

    I hope you read other people's post carefully. Don't pretend yourself is expert so that you can say whatever you want to say. This is the tech forum for Oracle technical people to ask question, seek help and so on. How do you know I didn't review document 278641.1 before I asked my question. Document 278641.1 only provide info on how to apply patch on primary and standby. Didn't say anything about applying the same patch on both DBs with data Guard at the different time. I just want to make sure If I apply patch on both DBs with one week difference, will this affect my primary database? Is there anything wrong here. If you paly in this forum as expert, please help people, not just look down people.
    I suggest you review [url http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html]How To Ask Questions The Smart Way.
    When you ask for help, state the platform, operating system, Oracle version and patch level, no matter whether it seems important to the question or not. It most often is important. You may not know the difference between Itanium and PA-RISC, but that is important for Oracle and important for someone doing administrative work on an Oracle database to know. You should also learn to search the internet for answers to common questions. Everyone here wants to help, but few want to spoon-feed.
    When you have any kind of standby, that constrains what you can do to a primary, if you want the standby to work properly. You need to understand how things get from one to the other, and how to decide when to simply rebuild the standby from scratch - and that decision is based on your configuration and requirements. You don't want to be in some undefined configuration for any period of time.

  • Problem creating Network ACL for a ROLE in Oracle 11gR2

    According to Oracle Documentation when you create a new Network ACL you can add privileges to a user or role.  I need to create a new ACL for the UTL_SMTP package for a specific role, but when I granted it the users who have that role are still getting the "ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)" error when they try to send an email.  If I grant the ACL privilege to the same users directly it works fine.  Is there any step I'm missing?  This is the test I have made on my Solaris 10 - Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) Standard Edition server:

    I'm aware that role privileges doesn't apply inside procedures, functions or packages by default, but this is an anonymous block so it should use the active roles for the user.  I also tried adding a "dbms_session.set_role('TESTACL_ROLE');" at the beggining of the anonymous PL/SQL block but I got the same access error.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give to me on this question, it would be very hard to grant the ACL to all the individual users as they are more than 1000, and we create more regularly.

    Thanks for your quick reply... I don't have a problem creating the basic ACL with the privileges granted for a user.  The problem appears when I try to create an ACL with privileges for a ROLE.  You can see here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25788/d_networkacl_adm.htm#BABIGEGG than the official Oracle documentation states that you can assign the ACL principal to be a user or role:
    Parameter
    Description
    acl
    Name of the ACL. Relative path will be relative to "/sys/acls".
    description
    Description attribute in the ACL
    principal
    Principal (database user or role) to whom the privilege is granted or denied. Case sensitive.
    My issue is that when I try to create the ACL for a role it doesn't work.
    Have you ever created an ACL for a role? if so please send me an example or let me know which step I might be missing.  Cheers.

  • Oracle 11gR2 RAC in LDOM Network issue

    Hi, Requesting your expert advise regarding this configuration.
    We are implementing LDOM 2.2 on two SPARC T4-4 for Oracle 11gR2 RAC; Solaris 10 U10 on both control and guest domain. The setup for each primary/control domain is: Two 10g links aggregated and have four VLAN trunked on the aggregate. vSwitch created using the aggr as the device as following per T4-4:
    NOTE: VLAN 1501 is for data connection and VLAN 10 is for heartbeat for one RAC cluster and VL 1601 and 11 is for another RAC. all together four LDOMS.
    ldm add-vswitch vid=1501,1601,10,11 net-dev=aggr1 primary-vsw0 primary

    ldm add-vnet pvid=1601 vnetprod primary-vsw0 guest2
    ldm add-vnet pvid=11 vnethb primary-vsw0 guest2
    vnet inside the LDOM are not tagged:

    Yes, I can connect to the vswitch interface on the control domain. I didn't specify any PVID because my understanding is that PVID will tag any frame with the PVID VLAN by default. basically the PVID for this interface is 1.
    Here's the VNET config for the other LDOM in the RAC cluster:
    VSW

    vnethb primary-vsw0 2 00:14:4f:f8:12:c1 10
    Thanks for reviewing my configuration.
