How to Download Personal Oracle

After trying several times to download Personal Oracle 9i, I perused this discussion group seeking a solution to a problem that I was having and finding that others were encountering the same problem.
Perhaps you have encounted a difficulty in unzipping the Personal Oracle downloads... I and others have reported the fact that there are mutltiple CRC errors in the downloaded file when you try to unzip it.
Well, after analysing the problem I have found a solution and surprise surprise it is marketedly similar to a problem I discovered with Oracle over 3 years ago... a problem which their tech support insisted had to do with the tuning of my companies server... well now I am not so sure that the problem is not inherant within Oracles handling of LOB's on the web. But instead of arguing an old point... let me detail for our users HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL there ORacle products.
Step by step:
1. Download the product
2. Download a second copy of the product and save it with a slightly different name
3. Unzip both copies with Winzip 8 or better. You must unzip them into seperate directories. Save the unzip log which tells you which files contained CRC errors.
4. Examine both logs and choose the version that contained the fewest CRC errors.
HERE IS THE SECRET... as in the problem my old employer discovered years ago... the errors occur randomly in LOB downloads... therefore the chance of the same file being corrupt in both downloads is very low.
5. The log will tell you which directory is being extracted and which file was corrupt... search the log for the string CRC in Wordpad... then find the missing file in the alternate tree and copy it to the working copy.
6. Repeat for each corrupt file.
7. when completed you can install the product from your working directory.
Its not pretty... but it works.
After searching for work for the last two months I thought it would be a good idea to refresh my skills with the latest version of Oracle... thank you Oracle for forcing me to use my skills to analyse your problems and develop a wotkaround... I now appreciate Postgres even more... I just wish there were employers who recognised that open source software is better supported than commercial products.
Anyone have a job lead in Denver for a developer with 20 years experiance?

Hello...
Simply amazing what it takes to download the 9i.
In fact I am still trying out your tip, and have had to work on 3 different ZIP sets so far!!
Still have one or two files that refuse to download right! (Especially the big ones).
I hope I get closer and closer to the final good set of install files soon!
Anyway, from what you say, it sounds like Oracle employs certain airheads...

  • How to download Personal Java and how to run the application

    Hi,
    From java.sun.com, which file has to be downloaded for develpoing the application in personal java.
    How to run an application in peraonal java?
    If you give me the steps it will be more helpful to me.
    I couldn't find the samples for personal java anywhere?
    If you give me links for basic samples with source code such as hello world and small games, it will be more helpful to me.
    All of my doubts are very basic one.
    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Nagaraj.

    Sun has a beta implementation available for download (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/personaljava/) which will allow you to run Personal Java on a MIPS/SH3/StrongARM or XScale device running WindowsCE 2.0 or greater. You can also download the Personal Java Emulation environment (http://java.sun.com/products/personaljava/pj-emulation.html) which will allow you to develop and run personal java applications in a Windows or Solaris environment.
    Most JDK1.1.8 compliant applications will run on Personal Java, so a Hello World program would look like the regular.
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Hello World");
    System.exit(0);
    You can also purchase a full blown commercial implementation of Personal Java for PocketPC at handango.com. Do a search on Insignia Jeode for Dell. You can use this on any PocketPC/XScale pda.
    To run a Personal Java program on Pocket PC. Deploy your jar to the Device and create a shortcut similar to this:
    50#"\program files\Java\bin\pjava.exe" -setcwd "\program files\Java\pjtest" -classpath "\program files\Java\pjtest\pjtest.jar" -file "pjtest.testmain.class"
    The number is arbitrary, but the paths need to point to the directory where you installed Personal java and your jar/application respectively.

  • How to download the Oracle BI Apps 7.9.5.2 (the one with ODI) ?

    Hello,
    I would like to take a look on some real life usage of the ODI as an ETL tool and decided to install the Oracle BI Apps, where ODI is used instead of Informatica.. Unfortunately, I am not able to download it. Do you have an idea what a (Controlled Availability Release) means? Does it mean that I won't be able to investigate it? If there is no license issues, then who should be contacted from Oracle, so I can download it ?
    Thanks in advance!

    I believe 7952 was the only BI Apps release that used ODI. Also, this was only for EBS 1150 as a data source. That being said, you should still be able to download and install all components for 7952 from OTN.
    Here is the main documentation link..you can find the install and setup guides here as well:

  • What is the userid, password & host for downloaded personal Oracle 8i?

    Can someone please tell me those info? I have gone through all the readme file but had no luck.

    Hi,
    What exactly you want to ask?
    if you are talking about the userid,passwod and host after installing the downloaded version then you can use sys/change_on_install, system/manager or scott/tiger etc as userid/password and hostwill be the ipaddress/physical name of the machine where you installed oracle.
    for connecting to oracle server from oracle client you have to configure tnsnames.ora under $ORACLE_HOME/netowrk.admin.
    hope this ll help you.

  • How to login to Personal Oracle 8i (30 day Evaluation copy)

    I downloaded Personal Oracle 8i from Oracle website. I already had Oracle 7 installed on my system. So during setup Universal Installer suggested to convert my data from older version to 8i, but it asked for Internal password. what is that? whenever I used SQLPLUS in oracle 7, my user name was SCOTT and password was TIGER but it says that the password is invalid.where can I find this password?
    The second problem is after installing Oracle 8i successfully,when I try to login to SQLPLUS it asks for user ID and password. I tried to use the same ID i,e SCOTT and TIGER but it won't let me to login the database. What is the user name and password for this version. Please help and answer in detail. Thanks.....
    null

    I have not used the Personal Oracle8i 30-day Eval version, but after the installation, you typically have at least four sets of initial user ID's and passwords.
    1. INTERNAL/oracle
    2. SYS/change_on_install
    3. SYSTEM/manager
    4. SCOTT/tiger
    They are not case-sensitive.
    Try them out and good luck!

    Thanks for the link, but not able to find JDE demo version for download.It's not quite as simple as 'click the download' button. You gotta get the infrastructure in place.
    As recommended, go to http://edelivery.oracle.com , click on Continue, fill the legal page, select JD Edwards for your OS, and start downloading. I would probably start and stop with the Installation document, since that likely has information such 'how much of the 60GB download is really required'.
    In the Oracle world, learning and practicing starts with reading.
