Installing Standard Edition wih RAC

Hi@all,
actually I'm trying to install Oracle Database Standard Edition 12c (12.1.0.2) with RAC Option on a two nodes Cluster. Both machines are running on Oracle Linux 7 and Oracle Clusterware / GI 12c (12.1.0.2) is also installed. What makes me confused is, that I can't select the Standard Edition. But why? I think, RAC Option is also available in Standard Edition. And no, I didn't select Rac One Node Option, I know, that is just for Enterprise Edition.
Thanks a lot and regards,
Dave

OK, thanks a lot for your answers, here are mine to that:
- we've just 2 CPU's in each node of the Cluster
- On the page Oracle Database Software Downloads | Oracle Technology Network | Oracle I just get the Enterprise Edition for 12.1.0.2. I think, the Standard Edition will be available on OTN or so for 12.1.0.2? Are the Editions now splitted with the installers for 12.1.0.2?
- Which Options should I've select on the before screens which will exclude the Standard Edition? The first screens before that where you can decide over the Editions are: The Support Screen => I've entered no mail address, "Installation Option" => Install database software only, "Grid Installation Options" => Oracle Real Application Clusters database installation, "Select List of Nodes" => I've selected my two nodes, Language ?=> english. And that's all. Which of these options would exclude Standard Edition?
Thanks a lot and Regards,
Dave

License in Standard Edition with RAC

Hi,
I have to install:
2 nodes in RAC configuration with Standard Edition in active/passive configuration.
License per CPU.
Do I need license for both nodes?
If not, is anywhere official note about this situation?
There is no word about it in Oracle Technology Global Price List.
Thanks for replay
Podkov

The [Software Investment Guide|http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/sig.html] has some more information on this. It mentions that you only have to license one host in a 'failover' configuration where 'nodes are arranged in a cluster and share one disk array' as long as you use the second server for a maximum of 10 days per year. However, they don't mention RAC, only Oracle Failsafe, so it is not really that clear (to me).
You should discuss this with your Oracle (or Oracle Partner) sales rep.

How to install Standard Edition One?

I downloaded 10g (10.2.0.1) for Linux x86 and it says it contains Enterprise, Standard and Standard Edition One inside. Once I started installation I had option to install Enterprise or Standard, no option for Standard Edition One.
Did I miss something?

Standard Edition One IS the STandard Edition with an added moral obligation to not out it on a machine with more than 2 sockets.
Just use the SE install

Installing Standard Edition One

Hi,
I was asked to test SE1 in order to see if it fits certain requirement. In order to do so I choose one of my RH 4.0 boxes and downloaded the database for the Linux 64 bits. Then I began installing.
However, when I was asked to choose the Installation Type I only had 3 options:
Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition and Personalize.
My questions:
1- Where are the Standard Edition One and the Personal Edition options?
2- Is it possible that the Standard Edition One is the same installation as the Standard Edition and the only difference is certain hardware constraint (as seen @ the license documentation)?
Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards.

Unfortunately, patches can cause that to change.
See Metalink Note:219233.1
You're correct, they can do that, but on the more
recent versions, if you're really careful in
following the patch instructions they typically
don't.
Though in all fairness 10.2.0.1 => 10.2.0.2 is a more recent version (see bug 5100038).
This sort of thing repeatedly happens sadly with Oracle and SE. Oh and the fix noted in 219233.1 doesn't apply to windows either.
So, to the OP, there isn't any really nice way of determining that you are running SE or SE1, you are looking for an absence of the word Enterprise - and that might be wrong because of a bug. I don't believe Express Edition identifies itself nicely either, but you can tell you are running that because it installs properly using appropriate installation media (windows installer or an rpm).

Oracle RAC and Standard Edition 11g R2

Hi,
Our application is tested with Oracle 11g r2 enterprise edition on RAC (inhouse).
A customer is asking whether he can use Oracle 11g r2 standard edition on RAC.
I need a gut feel on this, as our application does not use any of the enterprise edition features. Also our application has been successfully tested with oracle 11g r2 standard edition on single instance.
This is a big account and i need reliable answer.
Thanks in advance,
Krishna

Hello,
Yes, it is possible to have Oracle RAC with 11gR2 standard edition.
You can take a look at this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/editions.htm

Downgrade enterprise edition to Standard Edition One

I downloaded database 11g for solaris intending to install standard edition one.
During the install I did not see any options for the edition, and installed enterprise edition. I then deinstalled enterprise edition options but the database banner is still indicating it is enterprise edition. Is it possible to downgrade to standard edition one ? Where should I have selected the edition during the install ?

The Standard Edition One install is assumed to be the same as the Standard Edition install since it contains the same features. You are on your honour to not enable the RAC capability or to install it on a machine capable of more than 2 CPU sockets. You should have seen the option to install Standard Edition.
See metalink note 139642.1

Can NOT install Standard ONE on a 2 quad-core processor machine (licensing)

This is from Oracle's licensing (July 2009):
===================================
“When licensing Oracle programs with Standard Edition One or Standard Edition in the product name, a processor is counted equivalent to a socket. However, in the case of multi-chip modules, each chip in the multi-chip module is counted as one occupied socket.”
This is also from Oracle's licensing (July 2009):
=====================================
“Oracle Database Standard Edition can only be licensed on servers that have a maximum capacity of 4 sockets. Oracle Standard Edition One may only be licensed on servers that have a maximum capacity of 2 sockets.”
Now, this is what it seems to be:
===========================
1 quad-core AMD/Intel Xeon chip counts as 4x0.5=2 sockets (reached the maximum capacity limit in the licensing terms) by simply using 1 (single) quad-core CPU box.
and that's it - you can NOT install Standard Edition ONE on a 2 quad-core CPU Linux box :(((((
For a AMD/Intel multi-core Linux boxes
===============================
it can be a single quad-core CPU box (4x0.5=2 sockets -- but, paying twice the processor license - because it is now 2 sockets) or
it can be a 2 dual-core CPU (2X2x0.5=2 sockets -- but, paying twice the processor license) or
it can be a single dual-core CPU box (2x0.5=1 -- paying only a single processor license)
I think it is time for Oracle to revisit the licensing terms for Standard ONE edition and change it to simple socket count (don't count the cores). It is getting more expensive to use Oracle Standard ONE.

Everybody should also know - and OPN folks confirmed this morning - that an Oracle Sales person does not have the "legal" authority to overwrite what is written in OLSA. Sales can not rewrite the OLSA. However, Sales can request changes or addendums to the specific contract, which are reviewed by Oracle Legal and approved by Sales senior management (right up to Charles and Larry if needed).
That said, very few Oracle employees are allowed to discuss any aspect of licensing terms. The official first point of contact is Sales, and they may only be the carrier pigeon of missives from the authority.
When someone buys Oracle, OLSA is the only legally binding document. Everybody should keep the copy of the OLSA which is in effect at the time of their purchase, given that OLSA can be modified at a later date from the actual purchase.That happens to be true of any license or sales agreement, from Oracle or not. Also note that if you purchase support, renewals may affect the original OLSA.
And it's one of the reasons old timers in these forums (such as Dan and myself) will prefix nearly any license discussion in the forums with "check with sales" and suffix it with "and anything you hear on the internet is probably useless in a court of law when you get audited".
and after all that - thanks for digging into the details and posting them.
(With the warning to any others using the information that the facts need to be reconfirmed for each individual case and date. A judge usually frowns on a defense of "It happened to a friend of a friend of mine" or "I read it on the internet")
Edited by: Hans Forbrich on Sep 8, 2009 9:43 PM
By the way - what you write is a change of policy. At one time, a box that could support 4 CPU but only had 2 CPU installed would not qualify for SE1. Good news indeed.

Upgrading from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition

Hi
I want to upgrade from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition. Is there any script provided by oracle which I can run on existing Oracle 10G standard edition to upgrade to enterprise edition after completing the licensing formalities or do I need to install Oracle 10g Enterprise edition from scratch and then migrate my data.
Ramanbir S

You will not need to perform any data migration to upgrade to EE. The diffetence between standard en enerprise editions are the features offered. When you upgrade you can use the same set of files you used to install standard edition and just add the enterprise edition features you want to use in the 'Custom' section of the Universal Installer.

Oracle Standard Edition and GoldenGate for replication?

The Question:
Can GoldenGate run in a Standard Edition RAC ==> Enterprise Edition standalone environment and perform the required rule-based replication without requiring an upgrade of our RAC Standard Edition to RAC Enterprise Edition?
The environment:
Source System: 2-node RAC running Standard Edition 10.2.0.5 (RHEL5 x86-64)
Target System: 1-node running Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.1 (RHEL5 x86-64)
The requirement:
Lossless one-way replication in "real time" of selected schema while excluding selected DDL/DML based on multiple rules.
Present solution:
LogMiner, but there is a known LogMiner bug (p8977287) that causes data loss when one RAC node goes down or is evicted from the cluster. The bug is reportedly patched in 11.2.0.2 and is slated to be fixed in 12.x.
Thx.

Yes. Simple enough, it can extract from SE, even XE!

Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition 1 download?

Hi,
Apologies in advance if this is a daft question but could someone point me in the direction of the download link for Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition 1 11G for Windows 64bit?
The white paper below dated 2010 eludes to there being an 11g version of this software but the download site only has 10g:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obi-se1-11g-wp-187262.pdf
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/101321biseone-095993.html
I downloaded the Enterprise edition 11g in the vain hope that the installer would have an option for installing standard edition 1, which it didn't.
This is a stupid problem to have but a problem nonetheless.
All help gratefully received.
David.

Am I correct in saying that the Simple Install is Standard Edition 1? It doesn't say that anywhere (unless I'm missing it).Simple install is like a standard installation, less input is required from you.
Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition 10g docs/downloads can be found at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-standard-edition/downloads/index.html
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-standard-edition/overview/index.html
From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obi-se1-11g-wp-187262.pdf you can see the following:
The 10g version of BI SE One included a special installer and documentation tailored to the specific components that were available in 10g. For the 11g version of BI products, Oracle does not plan to release a special installer for BI SE One.

Migrate Standard Edition to Enterprise

We are looking to go to enterprise edition. We deploye our database to customer sites and we are looking at what is the easiest way to get those databases upgraded to enterprise edition.
I found doc 117048.1 but was wondering what they mean by de-install SE. Is there an option in the universal installer to remove standard edition and then to also install enterprise? I did not see it if there is. We lost our DBA and so I am trying to pick this stuff up, but it is all kind of new to me - I am a Database Developer so this admin stuff is giving me fits!
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks!

We are on Win2k3 server that is currently at 10.1.0.5
When I run the OUI and click on the Iinstalled products button and expand the tree Oracle Homes\Ora101\Oracle Database 10.1.0.2.0 , it lists Enterprise Edition Options, standard edition is not listed.
Also when I click on the Deinstall Products button the same options are listed (Enterprise Edition)
But when I look in the context.xml file under $ORACLE_HOM\inventory\Components21\oracle.server\10.1.0.2.0 and search for s_serverInstallType it has VAL="SE"
So it appears there is a disconnect somewhere, we installed Standard Edition, but the installer thinks we have Enterprise Edition. So how can I uninstall SE and install EE?????
thanks again!

SQL Server - Developer Edition - Downgrade to standard edition

Hi,
So the developer edition is a great way to setup a dev and test environment for pretty much nothing. But it is fully featured as an Enterprise Edition.
Now, we are using Standard Edition on our production servers.
Is it possible to install Developer Edition with only the standard edition features ?
Or to buy the developer licences and install standard edition for the test environment ?
The risk being that our devs use enterprise editions in the dev environment that would not work in production and thus add dev cycles.
Thanks

Hello,
Probably you can block the use of some enterprise features using Policy Based Management.

Downgrade SQL Server Enterprise Edition to Standard Edition

Hi
I came to know in-place edition downgarde from SQL Server Enterprise to SQL Server Standard edition is not possible after seeing couple of questions in the forum, But I find one interesting article in the web which says in-place downgrade is possible and
I tried the same and it works for me, below are the steps
1.    Type regedit.msc
2.    Got to SQL installation section in registry by default it will be here:
HKLM(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Microsoft SQL Server ->
3.    Here you have to select the instance you want to downgrade if you have multiple instances.
Expand required instance folder.
MSSQL10_50.MSSQLServer -> Setup
4.    Click on ‘Setup’
5.    Here You need to change one by one all below entries.
AGTGroup
DigitalProductID
Edition
EditionType
ProductCode
ProductID
SQLGroup
FDHostGroup
Checksum
Take these values from any already installed Standard edition instance and replace here.
Make sure from where you are taking these values have the same features installed and same version and all.
6.    Now click on ‘SQL_Engine_Core_Inst’ and change the entries here as well.
         ProductCode
But I am not sure how reliable is that option, Could someone let me know can I use that process for downgrade
Regards

Hi,
I would ceratinly not do that If I were you, this would surely leave you in unsupported state. You should ask Microsoft whether tweaking registry and replacing just value can actually change enterprise to standard or whether it is supported or not. I guess
you are just fooling the system.
Its better to uninstall Enterprise edition and Install Standard edition and create database using backup restore or attch detach.
I have not tried what you have mentioned. But thank you for the information.

SQL Server 2012 standard edition on 2 node cluster

I have an environment with three SQL instances running an application. Two of the instances are enterprise edition and one is standard. I am looking to move all instances up to SQL Server 2012 and hoping to put them on a 3 node Windows Failover Cluster.
I understand that standard edition is limited to two nodes. What I want to know is what my options are?
Can install standard edition on the cluster but only on two of the three nodes?
Do I need to create a second Windows Cluster? Is this even possible?
Regards, Matt Bowler MCITP, My Blog

Can install standard edition on the cluster but only on two of the three nodes?
Yes. That's possible. SQL Setup would block you to add third node. It doesn't check how many nodes we have in windows cluster.

Problem to create database with RAC 10g with Oracle Standard Edition

I install CRS (Cluster Ready Services), and then install Oracle 10g database. Also, I install patches 10.1.0.4. When I create database with ASM storage give me a error to create files database.
Any idea?
Thanks
Edu AlcaÃ±iz

You were right.
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B14203_05/intro.htm#sthref44
under the section
"1.3 Configuration Tasks for Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters"
"... If you use RAC on Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition, then you must use ASM."
Thanks, problem solved.
