How to confirm license of Oracle 11g

We have taken a billing solution for our telecom business support system in which they use Oracle database 11g as the database. I want to verify the license of the Oracle database 11g if it is really licensed. Please let me know how to do it.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.

Next thing which comes in is how is the licensing done if a vendor sells his software which uses Oracle as the database. If the vendor sells his software to 20 clients in a year, would that mean that they have 20 licenses. How to know whether the vendor is using a licensed copy or not? I have access to the database and v$license was one of the virtual tables I checked.
RegardsThere isn't any direct link between what license you have and what the database thinks you have, although there are options for the database to contact support directly.
There are different kinds of licenses. If the vendor uses XE, then it is freely distributable, with limitations of size and cpu. The only way to know if other types are licensed is to contact the vendor and Oracle. If the vendor is playing games, this can result in audits and/or lawsuits. Some methods of installation and patching by default install unlicensed options that the dba is responsible for disabling.
It is possible to have a license without support. You need the paperwork to show that you have a license, and additional paperwork to show support. Third parties can provide support in conjunction with Oracle. If you can't get them to show the paperwork, you might need to talk to your legal department. You need support of some kind to get patches.
You need to get this information, some third party support organizations have been known to go out of business. It is a really good idea to get a CSI number and create a support account of your own.

    thx but how i can mask data with above give environment?What does "mask data" mean to you and what is the environment you are referring to?
    Telling us that you are using 11.1 helps. But it is far from a complete description of the environment. What edition of the database are you using? What options are installed? What Enterprise Manager packs are licensed? Is any of this changable? Could you license another option for the database or another pack for Enterprise Manager if that was necessary?
    What does it mean to you to "mask data"? Do you want to store the data on disk and then mask the data in the presentation layer when certain people query it (i.e. store the patient's social security number in the database but only present ***-**- and the last 4 digits to certain sets of employees)? Do you want to hide entire fields from certain people? Do you want to change the data stored in the database when you are refreshing a lower environment with production data? If so, do you need and/or want this process to be either determinisitic or reversable or both?

    First of all,
    This is NOT Support, and this forum is not monitored by Oracle. Your use of the word 'urgent' consequently as insulting and rude, especially as the questions you ask are answered in the license you agreed to, you can read the license yourself.
    Please refer to the terms of use for this forum, especially paragraph 4
    http://www.oracle.com/us/legal/terms/index.html
    If you would have read the license, you would have known the Client is included on the CD with the RDBMS.
    There is no need to purchase anything.

  • How to find out which feature is Licensed in Oracle 11G?

    Hi,
    while reading oracle documentation, i found a feature "Health monitor " which i want to test on my Oracle 11G instance. However, i am not sure if my database is licensed or not for this feature and whether this is a feature which comes along with Enterprised edition or not
    1) May i know where can i find out if a given feature is licensed or comes free with enterprised edition?
    2) In my database, can i assume all the features given under dba_feature_usage_statistics are licensed?

  • How to place footer in oracle 11g with in the "EDIT MARGIN"

    Hi friends,
    I want place the footer each and every page,
    I knew how to keep the footer after "EDIT MARGIN",
    but i want place the footer with in the "EDIT MARGIN" and should act like a "footer section" that should print at the end of the each and every page even
    data is printed more than page.

    should print at the end of the each and every pageEverything in the margin is printed on every page by default. So, I don't understand your problem really. Can you be more specific? What doesn't work?
    If your margin doesn't print on every page, maybe you have a format trigger on the margin field?

  • Content Based Correlation in Oracle 11g

    Dear Veterans!!!
    I am working on the following use-case.
    An order processor accepts order(Mode-Buy/Sell, Price, Quantity) on webservice from various customers, and presents them to DecisionService, after adding the order Id to it. The decision service would check if the price*quantity > 1000, if so the response is sent as (Order ID, OrderStatus="Fail") else, sends (Order ID, OrderStatus="Success").
    What I want to do?
    Now I need to create Order Processor using single JMS Adapter with Interaction type "Asynchronous Request/Reply" using content based.
    What I have been able to do?
    I have been able to do content-based Correlation between Decision Service BPEL and Order Processor BPEL, where Order Processor has two JMS Adapters, One Producer which enqueues the order for Decision Service, setting the orderId as correlation. The another JMS Adapter is set as Consumer and recieve activity is registered with it and picks up the response after correlating the message.
    Also I have been able to do the "native correlation" scenario, using Decision Service as mediation module.
    What is the problem?
    1. I need to have the decision service as BPEL, and be able to do the native correlation, which I wonder how to do, because the Jdeveloper 11g has removed support for Adapter Header variables.
    2. I need to use decision service as BPEL and be able to do the content-based correlation, using a single Asyncronous Request/Reply JMS Adapter instead of two (Producer and consumer).
    Any Pointers shall be useful.
    Many Thanks,
    Regards,
    SwapSawe.
    I am aware of how to set the correlation

    Edited by: SwapSawe on Nov 30, 2009 11:01 PM

    Dear Friends,
    If I was not able to make my point clear, I would explain it again. I am posting message from one BPEL process to an Asynchronous Request/Reply JMS Adapter.
    A consumer JMS Adapter, would read the message from Q and would initiate another BPEL process, which would perform some business logic to generate a response and post it to reply queue via JMS Producer.
    Now the reply posted, is picked up by the Async Request/Reply, but the receive activity is unable to correlate the message.
    I was able to do this scenario using native correlation, i.e. JMS Message Id mapped to JMS Correlation Id, through mediation module. But I am looking forward to do this using content based correlation.
    Regards,
    SwapSawe

  • Oracle 11g native web services

    Is there any formal explanation about how to configure and create Oracle 11g native web services and how to correctly secure these services? Since Oracle APEX now supports consumption of SOAP and REST web services, it makes sense to have more explanation about creating and securing web services. As many PL/SQL programmers know, it is always not an easy job to develop web services in jDeveloper to work with databases - with all those add-on technologies like jPublisher/Toplink to get tiny things work. It is not easy to find the "how-to" guide about creating and securing Oracle 11g native web services.
    Thanks.
    Andy

    Thanks for the link Tim...it is very useful. I was told that, in APEX 4.2, it will become able to create RESTful web services through APEX - if you run APEX through APEX Listener - by using resource templates in APEX Listener. I will wait for more information about this feature to come out.
    Thanks.
