Installation problem Oracle 9i on SuSE Linux 7.2 s390

Hi all
I've got a problem after having installed Oracle9i on a S390 box with SuSE linux 7.2. When I launch sqlplus, I've got the following message :
sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.9.0: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory
It appears the shared library libclntsh.so.9.0 was not included in the tarball I've downloaded from the Oracle site.
Any idea ?
Thanks
Frangois Basquin

Forget my question : I've found the answer in the document ID 158104.1. Even if my problem was not exactly the one mentioned (I hadn't any problem during compile time), the cure was good.

As a sidenote, each command under Linux does have a so called "man" page (from manual). You also need to open a shell to access those commands as shown in the thread.
And please, take a look at the commands in that thread before you start implementing, since for example the dd command seems only to create a file with a size of 512M.
Knowing how to use a search engine would also be a valuable asset in your current position.

Problem with installing Oracle 10g on Suse Linux

Hi everybody!
I downloaded Oracle 10g Express from this url:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/htdocs/102xelinsoft.html
it is free version for developers.
I copied it into computer where was installed Suse Linux Enterprise Edition.
But when I run it shows this kind of error:
error: rpmReadSignature failed: region failed: BAD, tag 15872 type 2047 offset 20480 count 4096
error: oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed
It was downloaded without any problem. But checksum is different from that shown on website. I think this is the problem.
What is the problem? Does anybody know answer?
Regards,
Seti's fiction

Yes, you appear to have a bad copy.
I have not had a problem when the check sum matched. Therefore I encourage you to download again.

Installation: Oracle 10g on SUSE Linux 10.1

Can this be? I sat for hours preparing my all new clean SUSE Linux 10.1 server for the installation of Oracle 10g (Standard Edition)... and when running the installer it simply tells me that SUSE 9 is needed...
I've found others here in the forum having experienced the same.
Maybe I just downloaded the wrong version of Oracle?
The main download page is at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
I selected entry "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86" (the one directly below the Windows version):
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201linuxsoft.html
The size of the file^^ is 668,734,007 bytes.
Or should i have downloaded entry "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.2) for z/Linux":
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10202zlinuxsoft.html
The size of the file^^ is 838,518,746 bytes.
By the way, all these versions on the main page should have some kind of description, something like "This is the Linux Version for most standard 32Bit single and multiprocessor Intel compatible servers."
Well, since I'm completely stuck now with SUSE 10.1, is there any way to make the Oracle installer go on that SUSE version? Maybe SUSE can pretend to be version 9... but how do I achieve something freaky as this?
Thanks for any help, comments, suggestions...
Karsten

BTW, I think it's bad practice by Oracle not supporting SUSE 10.1.Actually, I think it is good practise for Oracle not to certify the public beta versions of an operating system.
Please remember that Fedora and SuSE Linux are cycled every 6-8 months, making then truly unstable for commercial purposes. IN addition, they are often desupported by the comminuty within 2-3 years, forcing upgrades. And finally, Both Red Hat and SuSE/Novell publically state that these are 'proving grounds for new features' (meaning they are beta).
Certification means that Oracle will invest heavily and train people on the specific operating system and work with the operating system supplier, 24x7 if needed, to make sure that customers will continue in production. I am not aware that the SuSE Linux or Fedora supporters are willing to put in 24x7 support they way the Red Hat and SuSE Enterprise groups are.
This does not imply the public OSs are bad. It just means that Oracle (and I) believe they are unsuited for commercial, business mission critical, immediate support required, environments.
By the way, I have the combination of Oracle10g and SuSE Linux 10.1 working, and it works well. However, I did need to make sure that the libraries to which Oracle10g was compiled are available in the OS.
Or maybe Sybase does better.... ;-pNot if the [glibc] libraries are incompatible. Nor does PostgreSQL nor MySQL.

Oracle 11g On Suse Linux 9.1

Please somebody help me.
Thanks in advance.

MDM 5.5 SP05 installation - Anyone installed it on SUSE Linux?

In accordance to my previous post, I will give the whole story of my installation in order to make it clear.
It is about a test server , running Linux SUSE LES 9.3. We want to install on it MDM5.5 (without NetWeaver -stand alone installation) and ORACLE 10g database.
So I started with the ORACLE 10.2 installation which went fine.
Now I am in the process of installing the MDM 5.5 on the same Linux server.
The installation guide is very poor regarding instructions for Linux like systems:
Extract the MDM Server, Import Server, and Syndication Server files from the archives with the
following name structure:
<server>.<incremental version>.<rebuild version>-<platform>-<compiler>.tar.<archive extension>
2. Place the server files in the root directory under /opt.
We recommend to place and install all servers (MDS, MDIS, MDSS) in the same folder, for
example /opt/MDM/bin.
3. Install each server folder by executing tar -xvf <server file>.
4. Delete the server archives and files.
Launching the Servers
1. Define a user account named mdm to run the MDM Servers on.
A process may not allocate more memory than the value of the ulimit -d command. So set
this value as large as possible for the mdm user. On some Unix-based OS, unlimited is
default, but on others, the kernel imposes a maximum value. Check your system carefully to
determine the optimum setting.
For AIX 64bit, we recommend adding ulimit -d unlimited to the user profile of mdm.
2. Log in as the mdm user.
3. In the mdm account's home directory (or a subdirectory), set up execution directories for the servers.
The execution directories will contain various runtime files (for example, nohup.out for error
messages) that are created and used by the MDM server software. Normally these directories do not
require any manual intervention.
We strongly recommend to set up an execution folder structure similar to the following example
to run each server process in its dedicated folder:
~mdm/mdm/mds
/mdis
/mdss
This ensures that the runtime files of the different servers are clearly separated.
Ensure that you make the dedicated execution directory the current one before launching one of
the servers. Use pushd to set the execution directory each time you run one of the servers.
4. Launch each server (MDM Server, Import Server, and Syndication Server) from the mdm user
account by executing mds, mdis, or mdss from within the server's dedicated execution directory.
Do not run mds, mdis,or mdss from the installation directory or any subdirectory (this is the directory defined in the MDM_HOME variable).
So I have followed all these instructions but I am not sure what does it mean to "set execution directory"!!! My MDM home is /opt/MDM/bin under binI have mds,mdis and mdss with the respective scripts. I run them to launch the servers and I get the error:
mdm@mucsapt2:/opt/MDM/bin> ./mds-r
./mds-r: error while loading shared libraries: libxerces-c.so.26: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The libraries are there under /opt/MDM/liband with the right access rights.
The document says to run the mds-r from the execution path which should be under /home/mdm. Does it mean that I have to copy all the scripts there? It is not clear at all.
I am surprised, such a big forum and nobody had faced this issue. Is there anybody who did the installation on Linux? From what I see there are not too many questions for the installation itself. Was it so straight forward for all you?
Thanks in advance,
Loukas

Unsupported Linux version should not make a major difference in this case...
This happens because your system runs out of swap space necessary for installer to fork and exec external process which configures the domain. Solution is to increase the amount of swap space available to installer - on Solaris this is usually done by cleaning up any unnecessary content from /tmp partition and shuting down non-essential processes prior to reinstalling. I suppose the same steps would help on Linux.
Before reinstallation you should also use provided uninstaller to cleanup this failed installation if you intend to install in the same location.

Database is very slow in oracle 9i with Suse Linux

Hello All,
We are using Suse linux and installed Oracle 9i on it. Our ERP product is running on this database. It is very slow. But linux configuration seems Ok. Oracle's performance is very slow. But The same thing is working fast in oracle 8.1.6 and 8.1.7. Is there any special linux configuration parameters should we consider for this or we have to do something in init.ora file?. I added the size of the JAVA_POOL_SIZE, SHARED_POOL_SIZE and LARGE_POOL_SIZE to 300 MB each.
Thanks in advance and expecting your reply.
with regards,
sivababu

Which version of SuSE Linux would possibly help here. I'm using version 7.3 Pro and it is only 10 minutes slower than my installation on XP Pro (the script is 16 pages long and takes 8,000,000 records and converts them into 30,000 records of useful information-takes 20 minutes in XP, 30 minutes in SuSE 7.3 on a personal computer). I used the orarun9i script and followed the directions for re-compiling the genclntsh from the SuSE installations online.

Please also read the install documentation. This has been noted as a requirement for oracle-xe (you need one more lib ;) ) This also helps you setup your DB, etc, etc.

Installation of Oracle 9i on Redhat Linux 7.3

Hi.
I'm trying to install oracle 9i on Redhat Linux an facing some problems. To start with I had no problem in installing and creating the database, The listener.ora and tsnname.ora files created are similar to what i have on windows 2000( Since i was not able to make oracle working on linux, i tried installing on windows, so as to check and create database for temporary work.), But when i go to the console and type the commands: sqlplus /nolog it says bash: sqlplus:command not found.
2. When i try clicking sqlplus executable file in the bin directory, i get a message that 'Could'nt find the program'.
3. Where can i find the bash_profile file.
4.I'm able to run the database configuration assistant and create new databases without any error.
I would appreciate if some one can help me out.Also are there any special commands, for this is my first experience on linux.
Thanks
Pranav

If your shell is bash (which I guess it is) you need to set the environment variables either per user in a file called ~/.bash_profile (probably /home/oracle/.bash_profile) or globally by making a file /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh
you can list .files with ls -la
for now you can either type /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus or type
export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin
to add oracle to the path in your current session

Install Oracle 10g on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10

Will 10g install on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10? If so, what setting do I need to change to get it to install?

Yes, it will install. Oracle supports it.Apparently they forgot to tell support. Certify still holds at SLES 9.

It's possible to make it work. However, I usually watch http://www.novell.com/products/server/oracle/matrix.html for info.
