i have full path something like this.

and i try something like this.
# cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhom1/bin/
[oracle@localhost~bin] dbca
bash: dbca: command not found
where i am wrong please correct me.You must not be Root user to run DBCA. Do this,
#su - oracle
$cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhom1/bin/
$./dbca Please note that there is no difference between dot(.) and slash(/) .

  • How to use dbca and netca

    hi
    everyone , I have just installed the software of oracle on RHEL4U4,but when I click ok .and wanted to configure a new database . (using dbca) ,I met an error ,just as follows
    [oracle@LinuxOracle install]$ dbca
    bash: dbca: command not found
    so I looked up in the the documents B19306 , it says that:
    "If you chose an installation type that runs Database Configuration Assistant and Oracle Net Configuration Assistant (NetCA) in interactive mode, you must provide detailed information about configuring the database and network.
    If you need assistance when using the Database Configuration Assistant or NetCA in interactive mode, then click Help on the screen.
    Note:
    If you chose a default installation, the Database Configuration Assistant and NetCA run in noninteractive mode."
    It's appear to be not well configured .
    so how to configure ,or any other solutions to solve this problem .
    many thanks .
    best
    carl

    Are you sure you did setup of Oracle enviroment?
    Execute following command:
    echo $ORACLE_HOMEIf there is no output then your enviroment is not set.
    In that case edit /home/oracle/.bash_profile and add following lines:
    ORACLE_BASE=<oracle base path>
    ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/<oracle home directory>
    ORACLE_SID=<oracle SID>
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
    PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATHSave the file and execute following command:
    . /home/oracle/.bash_profileNow try to execute dbca.

  • Using DBCA 11g r2

    Hi,
    I installed 11g r2 and created database as well along with it.
    I wanted to use dbca to create another database but there is no "database configuration assistant" in "Configuration and migration tools" in program files.
    can someone tell as to why this option is not there in 11g r2, also how to use dbca.
    thanks

    user10243788 wrote:
    thanks aman, i set the path for 11gr2 home, still dbca invokes for 11gr1, would have been easier had "database configuration assistant" been displayed in "Configuration and migration tools" in program files, any idea why its not present, while its present in 11gr1.Dear user10243788 .In windows menu you can do not see "database configuration assistant",there are may several reasons.But there main matter is running dbca and create database in 11gr2 environment. To performing this you need set properly ORACLE_HOME environment variable then try as below
    set ORACLE_HOME=D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1 /*this is example and you need set 11gr2 home*/
    %ORACLE_HOME%\bin\dbcathen create database.In additionally you can add shortcut of dbca to menu.

  • How secured is deleting db using DBCA

    Dear all,
    Am planning to convert a single node DB to RAC..
    in the note,it is mentioned to create a DBCA template of the single node DB (with data and structure) and delete the existing DB using DBCA and create a RAC DB using DBCA and using the template created earlier ?
    Can I rely on this ?
    Please suggest
    Kai

    Hello,
    DBCA takes care of everything while deleting instance whereas in manually you have to run several steps. I also like using drop database which generally take care of everything too (little skeptical about deleting datafiles but I think it deletes datafiles) as well.
    See following links how to use drop database and database should be in restrict mode before dropping it
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_8009.htm#SQLRF01513

  • How to create general purpose database using dbca

    Hi,
    I have installed oracle 10g on AIX .
    and now i have to create a database/instance for the firsttime whch must to be general using dbca.
    I want to create database silently. could any one please tell me the command to create a database silently

    Hello,
    So as to do a completely silent installation you may use a responsefile as follow:
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca -silent -cloneTemplate *<General Purpose option>* -datafileDestination */datafilepath* -responseFile */local_dir/dbca.rsp*Where dbca.rsp is a response file template that you may edit so as to supply administrative password,...
    Else, about the reason why your command got stuck. You may check the exact options with the statement below:
    dbca -hIt may change from one release to another.
    Hope this help.

  • How to create another instance on linux without using dbca?

    I have an oracle database (or instance) named viton1 on my linux.
    Now I want to create another instance (or database) named viton2 on my linux without using dbca.
    I know I can create a database by runing a sql script : create database ......
    But my problem is:
    before I can run the script for create database, I must startup nomount database.
    Before I can startup nomount the instance, I have to connect the instance.
    So I do it:
    $sqlplus /nolog
    sql > conn sys/password as sysdba;
    sql >
    then I connected to viton1, that's not what I expected.
    In order not to connect to viton1, I set ORACLE_SID=viton2. Then it show error: insufficient privilege.
    Who can tell me the right way to create another database without using dbca?
    Thanks in advance.

    In $ORACLE_BASE/admin you should have a directory structure for the viton1 instance : create a similar directory structure for the viton2 instance.
    In the pfile subdirectory create the initviton2.ora file : you can copy it from initviton1.ora file and change all occurrences of viton1 to viton2.
    At OS prompt : export ORACLE_SID=viton2, then
    sqlplus /nolog
    conn / as sysdba
    startup nomount pfile=$ORACLE_BASE/admin/viton2/pfile/initviton2.ora
    then CREATE DATABASE.....

    Ok, first, let's set aside the issue of hugepages for a moment. (Personally, IMHO, if you're doing manual memory mangement, and you're not using hugepages, you're doing it wrong.)
    Anyhow, looking at your SHM parameters:
    kernel.shmall = 2097152
    kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
    kernel.shmmni = 4096
    Let's take those in reverse order:
    1.) shmmni - This is the max number of shared memory segments you can have on your system, regardless of the size of each segment.
    2.) shmmax - Contrary to popular belief, this is NOT the max amount of shared memory you can allocate system wide! This is the max size, in bytes of a single shared memory segment. You currently have it set to 4GB-1. This is probably fine. Even if you wanted an SGA larger than 4GB, having shmmax set to this wouldn't hurt you. Oracle would simply allocate multiple shared memory segments, until it had allocated enough memory for the SGA. There's really no harm there, unless this parameter is set really low, causing a huge number of tiny shared memory segments to be allocated.
    3.) shmall - This is the real shared memory segment limit. This number is the total amount of shared memory you're permitted to allocate, system wide, expressed in pages. Pagesize here is the native OS pagesize, which is 4096 bytes, so, this is 2097152 * 4096 = 8589934592, or, 8GB. So, 8GB is the maximum amount of memory that can currnetly be allocated to shared memory, on your machine.
    So, having said all that, you haven't mentioned how many, if any, other Oracle databases are running on the server or their sizes. Secondly, we have no idea what memory sizing parameters you have set on the database that you're trying to create, that's getting the error.
    So, if you can provide more details, in terms of how many other databases are already on this server, and their SGA sizes, and the parameters you've chosen for the database that's failing to create, perhaps we can help more.
    Finally, if you're not using SGA_TARGET or MEMORY_TARGET, you really need to take the time to configure hugepages. Particularly if you've got a server that has as much memory as you do, and you're planning to have non-trivially sized SGA (10s of GB), then you really want to configure hugepages.
    Hope that helps,

  • Using DBCA to create ASM instance; no member disks found

    OK, we've been struggling with this for two days and we can't seem to find the magic mojo to get it working.
    I've got two Redhat 64-bit machines running Oracle 10.2.0.3 on them. Clusterware is installed fine and communicating properly. We've installed ASMLib and created our ASM disks fine and they list correctly using the oracleasm utility.
    Our problem is that when I go to create the ASM instance (using DBCA) the member disks do not show up. I have tried changing the "Disk Discovery Path", I've created listeners, started DBCA from different Oracle homes, re-installed, etc... nothing seems to work.
    I've even seen a few threads where people have experienced the same problem but have not seen solutions. Anyone have ideas how I can resolve this issue?

Most of that talk about linux kernel memory setting. I checked shmmax shmmni shmmal and echo 250 32000 100 128 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem. and echo 65536 /proc/sys/fs/file-max It doesn't work. Could someone tell me is there any other solution. (Both of two node physical memory is 1G and swap space is 2.5G)
    Thanks

    I have solve the problem by myself. I'll list how to fix.Maybe it could help u.
    1.I change shmmax to half physical memory(I have tried it before ,it doesn't work.I don't think it is keypoint)
    2. echo 250 1000 100 100 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem
    3. I change shmmin to 1
    then it works!
    I'm not really understand about this kernel config.Could someone show me where to get detail information?

  • Problem using DBCA: impossible to delete an oracle DB

    Hi,
    as the subject say it, i've deleting Database problem.
    I'm not very experiment in Oracle DB Management, certainly not a DBA.
    If someone can help...
    So i describe:
    Laptop: Probook 4530s
    RAM: 8 Go
    HDD: 500 Go
    Chip: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40 GHz
    OS: Windows 7 x64
    DB: Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0) x64
    Note 1:
    OWB 11gR2 (11.2.0.3.0) installed as Standalone Client
    Note 2:
    2 oracle DB running as independant instances
    1 containing very great amount data
    1. I've created a DB instance activating the Archive option.
    2. I import some tables from an other DB (populate those tables dured so much time that i wanted not to calculate them again)
    3. One of the table count more as 32 million lignes
    4. the export of those table taking to many time i broke the export process
    5. after that i remark there is no more place to archive
    6. after to consulting the Web about how to find a solution,
    i've remove some Archive from the location where there are stored (C:\Oracle_DB\fast_recovery_area\<MYDB>\ARCHIVELOG\2012_04_04) to another location
    7. i've succeeded to reconnect with sqlplus to the instance
    8. i wanted to shutdown the DB with SHUTDOWN
    My intention was then to do STARTUP MOUNT and then ALTER DATABASE NOARCHIVELOG;
    10. after a long moment without response, i've reboot the laptop
    11. the problem begin: impossible to connect to the DB get the message
    "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor."
    12. i consult the "Application Log" in "Windows EventViewer"
    It shows the following events:
    Instance <MYDB> has been terminated.
    Initializing PGA for process ARC3 in instance <MYDB>.
    Initializing PGA for process ARC2 in instance <MYDB>.
    Initializing PGA for process ARC1 in instance <MYDB>.

    12. opening the "tnsnames.ora" file the reference to the DB <MYDB> is present.
    13. i try to start the instance with
    "ORADIM -STARTUP -SID OracleService<MYDB>"
    I get the following message:
    "ORA-03113 end-of-file on communication channel"
    14. at those step, because the place on laptop is limited, i wanted to delete the DB <MYDB> using DBCA
    It show me a Dialog-Box saying that the DB is not started.
    Note 1:
    of course i tried to restart the Windows Oracle Services <MYDB> several times, and the listener
    but it seems to do nothing.
    Note 2:
    of course i've replace the Archive files to the location where there are stored (C:\Oracle_DB\fast_recovery_area\<MYDB>\ARCHIVELOG\2012_04_04)
    I don't know what i can doing
    * either to recover/open/start the DB <MYDB>
    * either to delete the DB <MYDB>
    Have anybody some suggestions?
    Thank you in advance.
    JC

    Thank you for your very reactive answers, Balazs Papp, *11g*,
    the DB was shutdown and instance inactive
    after a last search on the Web i find something interresting
    i solved the problem so:
    on 1 DOS Console:
    C:\>set ORACLE_SID=<MYDB>
    C:\>sqlplus sys/<sys password on MYDB> as sysdba
    Then on the opened SQLPLUS session:
    sql> STARTUP MOUNT
    sql> ALTER DATABASE NOARCHIVELOG; (<- it is what i wanted to do)
    sql> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
    After reflexion, it seems that wenn i do "SHUTDOWN" yesterday, i don't be patient enough... &reboot the laptop.
    It seems that <MYDB> state was registered anywhere as "inactive" & "MYDB" as "unmounted" & "closed"...
    So it could be "normal" that after reboot, the state of instance & DB are so.
    Sorry, i'm not DBA (& learn every day), but those are the reflexions that came to me.
    Thank you Balazs Papp for suggestions to consult the alertlog on "C:\Oracle_DB\diag\rdbms\<db_unique-name>\<instance_name>\trace\alert_<instance_name>.log" location.
    I ignore that it is exists
    But the location is empty...
    How is it possible to activate/enable the tracing mode so that i've "alert_<instance_name>.log" file?
    Thank you for your help.
    Yours sincerelly,
    JC
