How to find if a Oracle software is 32-bit or 64-bit

Is there a easy way to find out if Oracle software is 32-bit or 64-bit ?

yes, if it's 64-bit version, it shows in v$version & for 32-bit it will not specify this exlicitely.
There is another interesting method to find this wordsize.
Query v$sqltext, and take the address information of the SQL. If the total length of ADDRESS column is 8
( eg: 78D049E4)
, this means that wordsize=8*4=32, since 1 hexadecimal character = 4 bits.
similarly, in 64-bit Oracle, you will get addresses with a length of 16. ( 16*4 = 64)

How to find the of Oracle software types and versions installed

Hi,
How to find the of Oracle software types and versions installed on RedHat Linux AS machine and Sunsolaris10 machine?

I'm not sure about your point.
You can use "opatch" command-line
cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
./opatch lsinventory -detail

How to check that same Oracle software versions(including patch versions)

How to check that same Oracle software versions(including patch versions) is installed on two hosts(machines) ?
We are using following process:
On Host A :
1) Get the Oracle version using SQLPlus -v
From this output, extract the version number.
2)Find the patches installed using opatch lsinventory -detail
From the output , Extract the Patch numbers and Bugs fixed.
3) Store the version , patch and bugs information in a common file.
On Host B :
Repeat the steps 1 and 2 and compare with the values from Host A.
Please let us know if there is any other method to do this.
Thanks.

This is wrong: for Oracle Database version 10.2.0.4 *4* identifies the patch set and does not give information about interim patchs.
It is correct to use opatch lsinventory to get interim patchs.

How to find out what Oracle version?

Hi,
Could anyone tell me how to find out what Oracle version is on your AIX/Unix machine? It looks like Oracle Installer doesn't use the native OS installation(installp,pkgadd) process, so I can't use lslpp/pkginfo to find out what filesets are installed.
Thanks
HQ.

Hi!
As far ar Oracle version is concerned, you can find it at the database level after connecting to the database
select * from v$version;
i am not sure if there is someway to find at the o/s level.
Good luck

How to find out whether Oracle database was upgraded ??

Hi,
I need to find out whether my Oracle database was upgraded, If yes how to find out by SQL query .I know their is database_properties table, but when I try to query that it didnt gave me the output which I required.
Like in SAP we have uvers table which keep info about the upgrade history, whether such history is avaliable in oracle ?? . Iam looking out for output which is like old database Release 9.2.0.7 and new database release 10.2.0.2.
Whether similar such history is maintained in Oracle database.
Awaiting for your feedback.
Kind Regards
Neenad

Hi all,
After checking all the material,I dont think prior to 10g, oracle register its earlier version.
The views of v$version show the current version for various components and also dba_registry displays info about catlog/catproc versions.
In 10g, you can use the following query to know the version when the database was broughtup.
select startup_time,version,db_name from dba_hist_database_instance.
Anways thanks to all of you.
Kind Regards

How to find / remove all linksys software on computer?

Hi all,
I had another post on here, didn't get anything fixed as my problem still was occuring. Didn't stay connected for any length of time, especially after I left the computer unattended. Couldn't figure out what the problem was. So I hit the reset button on the router to reset the settings and everything...figured I would start from scratch.
Well now my computer says Im not connected. Wireless icon has the red x; when I view the nearby connections, mine is listed as 'not connected', even though I am connected. However Im not connected for more than a few minutes.
So I need to figure out how to remove and find all the linksys software on here, so I can reinstall stuff..just not sure how. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ryan

Whats the model number of your Router. If you talking about the Easylink advisor software which you have installed on your computer, then you can Uninstall that software from "Add Remove Programs" which you will find it under "Control Pannel". Once you Uninsall the Software from your computer, after this you can configure your router manually.

How to find service port oracle use.. for http... ftp.. ?

Can any one tell me how to find what services ports does oracel uses for services like HTTP and FTP... ?
Is there any commad that I can execute on SQL*PLUS console to find that ???

Depends on the version of Oracle.
If Oracle XE, or you are using XDB capability, you use
SELECT dbms_xdb.gethttpport(), dbms_xdb.getftpport() from dual;
and verify using lsnrctl status
Otherwise you look at the Apache config files in $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.*

How to find out the max mem can be allocatedTT for 32 bit Win ?

How to find out the maximum Permanent Data Size and Temporary Data Size that can be allocated for the Oracle Times Ten for 32 bit Windows OS.

Hi Chris,
Am I write in saying that this also depends on shared memory setting as well?
If that is the case, on a platform like window 2003 32-bit, one cannot have more than 4GB of shared memory. Windows Server 2003 includes support for a startup switch (entered in the boot.ini file) that allows the allocation of memory and memory address space. Regardless of the amount of physical memory that is installed on the system, the operating system uses a virtual address space of 4 GB. Out of that amount, by default, 2 GB is allocated to user-mode processes (for example, Oracle or TimesTen) and 2 GB is allocated to kernel-mode processes (for example the operating system and others). In a nutshell on systems that have more than 1 GB of RAM, this startup switch can be used to allocate more memory to applications (3 GB) and less memory to the operating system (1 GB). However, adding adding the /3GB switch to the boot.ini file will not increase the amount of physical RAM memory, the 3GB switch just tells the computer to allocate the existing memory space differently.
For a 32-bit TimesTen the limit on memory cannot be more than 2GB (PermSize+TempSize). For example on Linux 32-bit I have 1024MB and 512MB for these two parameters.
Thanks,
Mich

How to find characterSet of Oracle Application Server

How can I find out the character set that was installed when Oracle Application Server was installed?

- Refer to the OAS Globalization Support Document.
Oracle® Application Server Globalization Support Guide
10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
B14004-02
- Read with care these sections:
6.1 Installing Oracle Application Server for Global Deployment
- Also note that
"The NLS_LANG parameter controls the locale of the runtime environment on which OPMN runs. It should correspond to the default locale of the middle-tier runtime environment, which is the default locale of the operating system. The same NLS_LANG parameter is inherited by the OPMN managed processes, such as Oracle HTTP Server and OC4J, unless it is explicitly specified with a different value in opmn.xml.
For Microsoft Windows platforms, the pre-configured NLS_LANG is automatically registered in the Win32 registry as the NLS_LANG registry key at \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOMEn. The NLS_LANG value in this registry key controls the locale of the runtime environment on which OPMN and its managed processes run. "
- Also note that the NLS_LANG parameter values will have different requirements for a monolingual and multilingual application architectures.
- to find the character set of infrastructure db or metadata repository, you may use the db method to find the character set installed.
SELECT * FROM nls_database_parameters WHERE parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET'
hope that helps!

How to find licence for Hyperion Software

Hi,
I want "Essbase Application Manager" for one of my team member but somehow our desktop support team is not able to find this software in their catalog . I think name of the software may be changed.
I have same software on my desktop but it is inside "Hyperion Solutions" SOftware . Does anyone have any idea on my situatuin.
Is there any Hyperion product in which I can ""Essbase Application Manager" for my day to day work
Also I want to find licence for the Hyperion SOLutions software on my desktop. Can anyone tell me how I can find it ?

What version of Essbase are you running? I think Application Manager was decommissioned in Version 6 (although it might have been Version 7). It was replaced by Essbase Administration Services(EAS). Application Manager does not need a license as it is just an administrative tool for Essbase. For the license number again it depends on the version. Later version do not have a license number, earlier versions do. In some cases you can get it from App Manager by getting server properties and it will show you. In other versions, you would start Essbase in foreground and it will show you the license as it starts. Essbase 7.16, System 9.3.1 and Version 11 do not have licenses that you have to enter.

How to find out if Oracle is Installed in server

I apologize for the simple question but no one in here seems to know if our server has Oracle installed or not. I have no experience in Oracle and have root access to the server but dont know the command to check wether Oracle is installed or not! anyone?
I thank you in advance for any help
Eduardo

This is one of those questions that can be a bit difficult to answer, given all the possibilities in the world. Since you said the magic word "root" I will assume you are on unix or at least a posix system.
http://tahiti.oracle.com has installation guides, find the one for your platform and check that. It should give a good foundation of what you want to look for. But some people get creative and some things are decisions by the DBA.
Since oracle may be installed and not running, looking for oracle processes may not tell you if oracle is installed. But a ps|grep ora can often give clues. It is even possible to delete files while oracle is running... (I've seen oracle uninstalled - it keeps running but new users can't log in. This is because rm a file doesn't actually remove a file until everyone is done with it.) Also, check ipcs - shared memory being used by oracle is a clue oracle is installed and/or running, but even that can be misleading with some configurations - sometimes a bungled startup will leave a mess.
Many unix systems have clues in /etc or /var/opt. Look for files with names like oratab and oraenv. Look at your passwd and group files, see if there are users with names like 'oracle' and groups like 'dba'. Look at user .profile, .cshrc, .bashrc, .kshrc files and see if there are references to oracle environment setting. $ORACLE_BASE, $ORACLE_HOME, $ORACLE_SID are often good clues, as well as references to oraenv or similar names. Look at the system startup files and see if there are references to oracle: there could be things like /sbin/rc*/*ora*, /etc/rc.d/*/*ora*, and so forth. Often the rc directories have a link to an init directory, such as a file like /sbin/init.d/oracle. There may be an inventory around somewhere called oraInventory, perhaps under $ORACLE_BASE, and installation log files, check your install guide for names. Also, if you have found $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID in an oratab, you might check $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/bdump/alert*log. Be aware that $ORACLE_HOME and the "oracle home directory" probably are not the same.
Older systems that have been clumsily dealt with may have all these things, and yet still not have "oracle installed." Good luck.
For these reasons and more, usually you would want to specify exact platform and oracle versions.
Edit: fixed alert log location

How to find whether the Oracle Apps Instance is ShredAppltop or not

How to find the installed oracle components( oci , occi) versions?

Hi,
could you please help me to find out the version of installed oracle components?
ex: which version of OCCI installed?
one way is using OUI gui tool.
I also got this info from oracle inventory file.
under $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml
But is there any best way or command to look for the same.
Thanks,
Krish

The "best way" almost certainly depends on why you're looking for the information and what tool(s) you're using.
If you're asking a human being to get the information, the OUI is generally going to be "better". If you're writing a program to get the information, parsing the inventory XML is likely to be "better".
If you have multiple Oracle Homes on a single machine (particularly Oracle Homes with different major Oracle releases), though, or you have various failed/ incomplete/ obsolete installations on various machines, or if you're trying to figure out which version of the libraries would actually get used when a particular application starts up (assuming there are multiple applications on the machine), things start to get rather trickier.
