Install APEX to work on existing Oracle 10g R1 database

I want to use APEX on an existing Oracle 10g R1 database. If I install it normally with the program downloaded from your site, it installs its own database that you use.
How can I set / install it to use the existing database instead of its own database?
Elsie Pretorius

Hi guys,
Thanks for the info and input. Is there anybody have sucessfully done this. Most of the info that out there, the README in the patchset all pointing to upgrading the OCS, not installing the OCS on top of an existing 10g AS and DB. I'm thinking installing the OCS R2, and then patching and upgrade it to 9.0.4.2 or 4.3 and then point or move it to the existing 10AS and DB. This is where I'm quit blur at the moment.
Anyway thank for all the info.
Regards
Din

  • Down Time for  Installing APEX 4.2.1 and oracle HTTP server?

    Hi, all:
    I plan to install APEX 4.2.1 and oracle HTTP server on 10.2.0.4 database.
    Is there any down time required during installation?
    I mean during installation, do I need to block users from accessing the database?
    Can they do their normal data entry / inquiry?
    thanks,
    John
    ps. There will be server backup before installation.

    Hi,
    Documentation says
    >
    3.1 Recommended Pre-installation Tasks
    Before installing Oracle Application Express, Oracle recommends that you complete the following steps:
    Review and satisfy all Oracle Application Express installation requirements. See "Oracle Application Express Installation Requirements".
    Shut down with normal or immediate priority the Oracle Database instances where you plan to install Oracle Application Express. On Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) systems, shut down all instances on each node.
    An alternative to shutting down the database is to prevent all users from accessing Oracle Application Express when upgrading your installation from a previous release of Oracle Application Express. Oracle only recommends this option in high availability production environments where planned outages are not available. For all other scenarios, the database should be shut down.
    To disable access to Oracle Application Express when the existing installation is using the Application Express Listener, shut down the appropriate application server where the Application Express listener is deployed.
    To disable user access to Oracle Application Express when the existing installation is using the Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql, you should either shut down the Web server or disable the Application Express Database Access Descriptor of the Web server.
    For an existing installation using the embedded PL/SQL gateway, you should disable the Oracle XML DB Protocol Server by setting the HTTP port to 0. This can be accomplished by starting SQL*Plus, connecting as SYS to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed, and running:
    EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(0);
    Once you have prevented access from Oracle Application Express users, you should log into SQL*Plus as SYS, connecting to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed, and query V$SESSION to ensure there are no long running sessions which would interfere with the upgrade process.
    Back up the Oracle Database installation.
    Oracle recommends that you create a backup of the current Oracle Database installation before you install Oracle Application Express. You can use Oracle Database Recovery Manager, which is included in the Oracle Database installation, to perform the backup.
    See Also:
    Oracle Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide
    Start the Oracle Database instance that contains the target database.
    After backing up the system, you must start the Oracle instance that contains the target Oracle database. Do not start other processes such as a Web Listener. However, if you are performing a remote installation, make sure the database listener for the remote database has started.

  • Number of available records in Oracle 10g express database

    Hi,
    I am facing problems in getting the number of available records in Oracle 10g express database with the following query.
    string filename = dbObject.FILENAME;
    string vendorID = dbObject.VENDOR_ID;
    OracleCommand myCommand = _connection.CreateCommand();
    myCommand.CommandText = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ASSET_PROCESSING_OUTPUT WHERE *FILENAME = :filename AND VENDOR_ID = :vendorID*";
    myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
    myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("filename", filename);
    myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("vendorID", vendorID);
    OracleDataReader reader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
    Using this command how can I get if the record exists in the database with the given value.
    Thanks in advance.
    punit

    It appears you're only executing the statement. You need to fetch the result to see the value returned by the SELECT statement.

  • Connect Oracle Developer / Designer to Oracle 10g XE database

    I have installed the Oracle 10g XE database on my PC. Also on the same computer I have installed Oracle 10g Developer Suite (Designer, Forms etc). The database runs ok without problem. However I cannot connect Designer to the database. I know a listner program (e.g. tsn listner) has to be installed for the purpose of connecting to the database. When starting the XE database a listner program also is started.
    My question:
    What do I have to do inorder to have the Designer connect to the XE database?
    R. Carson

    Is there any changes should I do?!Well sorry but I don't know. This sugesstion to copy sqlnet.ora file resolve my problems to connect with Developer 6i to 10g, but that is 10g EE in my office, not XE at home...
    Anyway your sqlnet.ora file look like very "default" but maybe is that O.K. on XE?
    Who knows?

  • Oracle 10g/11g database use on UEK versus Red Hat kernel? How widely used?

    Greetings
    is there any official or semi-official information regarding how widely used is Oracle UEK to run Oracle 10g/11g database (RAC or single-node) versus running Oracle database on Red Hat Linux or on Oracle Linux with Red Hat kernel ?
    I am asking because at my customer site there is a perception that Red Hat (or Oracle Linux with Red Hat kernel) is much more widely used in production to run Oracle 10g/11g database and therefore it will provide better stability even if the performance may be somewhat reduced compared to Oracle UEK option.
    So I need some sort of approximate percentage numbers of how well is UEK used in Linux Oracle community to run Oracle 10g/11g databases.
    Many thanks.
    Yuri B

    The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence. Well, in my opinion, a higher market share does not reflect the quality or reliability of a product. Take MS Windows for example. Unfortunately, the reason for success is often not due to knowledge and experience, but rather due to fear and sheep effect or herd behavior.
    Perhaps you can use other arguments or questions to help you to make a decision, eg.:
    Oracle has a better understanding of what Oracle products require than Red Hat.
    Oracle takes full responsibility for the OS and Database, no finger pointing.
    Oracle tries to provide a better product than the RHEL kernel.
    The Oracle UEK kernel contains Oracle driver software, not available for RHEL 6 or later.
    Oracle updates are free of charge, RHEL requires a subscription.
    Oracle as a company is about 20 times bigger than Red Hat.
    There can be reasons that require the use of the original RHEL kernel, for instance if the vendor of a specific driver for your hardware demands it. But otherwise...

    Thanks for your reply, Roel!
    I always deeply thanks for your help.
    After reading your reply, I found out I missed install HTTP Server.
    So I have installed HTTP Server in companion CD and I made the adjustment like marvel.conf and httpd.conf.
    But I can't solve my problem yet.
    I entered the address - http://127.0.0.1:7777/pls/apex/apex_admin - in the web browser, then
    I saw such a like under the message.

  • Could Oracle 10g (in a server)  work with existing Oracle 9i client

    Hello!
    I am new in Oracle, and I was wondering if it’s possible to use Oracle 10g in a server with clients using Oracle 9i. Would that work? Are they compatible?.
    Thanks!

    my 9.2 client can not connect to 10g server,
    It says that "this application requires that you have been granted to select any dictionary privelege".
    my 10 g client connecting normally, but i have many terminal computers with 9 client.
    Tell me how to connect to 10g server from 9 client please.

  • Cannot use existing oracle 10g db as collab suite database

    Hi all,
    I am trying to simulate colocated IM architecture installation in my test machines. I tried to use my existing Oracle db 10g R2 as my collab suite database. The OUI prompted an error after checking prerequisites:
    Oracle Home you have specified is an Oracle 10g 10.2.0.0.0 or higher version and cannot be configured into an Oracle Collaboration Suite Database.
    Refering to OCS documentation,
    "You need Oracle Database 10g (10.1.0.4.2) for the Oracle Collaboration Suite installation to be successful. If you have an earlier version of database, for example Oracle Database 10g (10.1.0.2) or Oracle Database 10g (10.1.0.3), then you must apply the Oracle Database 10g
    Release 1 (10.1.0.4.2) Patchset to this existing Database."
    Install Guide 10g R1 B15793-01 Chapter 5.2.1 "You can optionally convert an existing Oracle Database 10g into an Oracle Collaboration Suite Database. The database must be version 10.1.0.5 or higher.."
    Deployment Guide 10g R1 B14479-01 Chapter 4These statements indicates that oracle DB 10.1.0.5 or higher can be converted into OCS DB. But the OUI hit me with the error. Have anyone encountered this before? or any idea why? Thanks

    did you find out the solution for your issue. I ran into the same problem.

  • How to create new databse in existing oracle 10g

    hi..
    Use DBCA utility to create a new database.Type dbca on the cmd/terminal. A GUI tool will come, with which you can create a database.Also, while installing oracle 10g , there is a option of creating the database in the select configuration option window.Did you do Install Database Software only.

  • Installing SAP ERP6 EHp4on Solaris 10 ,oracle 10g

    Hello gurus
    i am planning to install SAP ERP6 EHP4on SOLARIS 10 Sparc,Oracle 10g
    So i have 3 questions that i need a bit clarified although i went thro the inst guide
    1.Will the install  or sapinst ask me to create the oracle directories and  sapdata files?Like the previous versions oracle 9.X.
    2.If its not then what is the easiest way to point the installation to install in specfic directories e.g /oracle/SID/log for the log file origs,mirrors,oraachs etc and for sapdatas /oracle/data etc OR it will put them in the SAP standard dir /oracle  etc
    3.How do i start the patch install soon after the database install not using mopath but where u specify the path to /oracle /stage /10 what is the completecommand line as orasid?(when the installation stop and ask for the DB installation?
    any ideas will be greatly appreciated

    Hi,
    Below are my answers,
    --> Always prefereable to create the directories in advance with individual file systems. You have a specific SAP Note for this which will tell you how much sizes you need to keep for SAPDATA and log folders . So always create separate Mount points for individual directories which is a good practice for Unix based systems.
    So in this case, Please create the file systems as follows /oracle/SID/102_64 --> For Oracle Home
                                                                                    /oracle/SID/sapdata 1-4 --> For SAPDATA folders
                                                                                    /oracle/SID/origlogA, /oracle/SID/origlogB,/oracle/SID/mirrlogA,/oracle/SID/mirrlogB
    Then You can create a separate one for oracle/stage/102_64 or as per your wish.
    Once your DB Instance Installation is done, You can define the full path of OPatch/MOPatch in the PATH Env Variable of ORASID so that no need to give it again. you can go to the folder/file where you saved your patch files and apply accordingly.
    Hope I contributed my 2 cents.
    Thanks,

    Please help me out.

    ..is the "THE" operator still supported?
    I know this was the case in Oracle 8i, but later?... you can try using the "TABLE" operator instead.
