Installtion file's for Oracle 9i on AIX 5L

I've downloaded the 4 zip files for 9i on AIX 5L.
I've unzipped them but they don't seem to work properly. I can startup the OUI but I can't install the products so I assume I've done something wrong.
With the 4.3.3 version files you have gunzip them and then run cpio, but the 5L comes in .zip format.
Is there a correct procedure for unzipping these files like the previous version or will straight unzip work?

Hi,
have you see unzip instruction :
Instructions to install UnZip on UNIX platforms
1. Download the file and transfer it to the UNIX machine in binary mode.
2. Uncompress the file:
% uncompress unzip_<os>
3. Put the file in a directory that is included in your PATH, typically /usr/bin or
/usr/local/bin.
4. Make sure that the file has execution permissions set. If not, run:
% chmod 751 unzip_<os>
5. To unzip a file using this executable, just run:
% unzip_os <name of the file to be unzipped>
You can download unzip utility here http://updates.oracle.com/unzips/unzips.html

Hello,
now this message is pretty obvious. So the needed information would be:
ls -ld /oracle/QAA/102_64/rdbms/admin
ls -ld /oracle/QAA/102_64/rdbms/admin/log
ls -ld brtools
id
and then compare if the user executing brtools has appropiate rights.
Most likely you did not run saproot.sh so brtools might not be set suid to oraqaa
and you are executing as qaaadm.

Suggested data file size for Oracle 11

Hi all,
Creating a new system (SolMan 7.1) on AIX 6.1 running Oracle 11.
I have 4 logical volumes for data sized at 100gb each. During the installation I'm being asked to input the size for the data files. The default is "2000mb/2gb" is this acceptable for a system sized like mine, or should I double them to 4gb each? I know the max is 32gb per data file but that seems a bit large to me. Just wanted to know if there was a standard best practice for this, or a formula to use based on system sizing.
I was not able to find any quick suggestions in the Best Practices guide on this unfortunately...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Prerequisites for Oracle 9i installation AIX 5L V5.3

Hi,
Can anybody give a clear idea on the prerequisites for Oracle 9i release 2 installation IBM AIX 5L V5.3
Thanks
Jibu

Where did you get that information from?
If you check the great cert matrix, you'll find that Oracle's support for 5L is rather wide. The general note/page says e.g.
"Oracle products are certified for AIX5L on all servers that IBM supports with AIX5L. ...
AIX5L certifications include AIX5L versions 5.2 and 5.3."
And 9.2 is certified on "5L" (but note that current support ends July this year)

Xlc file Required for Oracle Product Installation on AIX 6.1

Hi All,
I am trying to install Oracle 11g Forms & Reports on AIX 6.1 [TL12].
I have installed JDK and Weblogic Server without any Errors.
When we reach 93% on software Alone installation with 11g Forms & Reports, we got some error
ERROR IN INVOKING TARGET 'RELINK' OF MAKEFILE '///INS_PRECOMP.mk'We raised a SR for this Error, Oracle Support given one solution to follow.
>
Yes, there is a known issue with AIX OS.
Before starting the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Classic installation on IBM AIX, check for "xlc" availability on the system. It should be present either under /usr/bin/ or under >/usr/vac/bin directory.
If /usr/vac/bin/xlc is present, create the following symlink as root user:
# ln -s /usr/vac/bin/xlc /usr/local/bin/xlc
If /usr/bin/xlc is present, create the following symlink as root user:
# ln -s /usr/bin/xlc /usr/local/bin/xlc
Please clean up the failed install and start new install once you follow the above steps and let me know the results.But Unfortunately in our AIX 6.1 Box we dont have any 'XLC', in any of the folder in entire file system.
What is this XLC ?? if that is not available how to create the SYMLINK ?
Kindly Some one Advice me.

File Need for Oracle 10g AS from Oracle 10g Jdeveloper

Dear All,
I have completed my application for running on Oracle 10g AS.
What files and the structure that I should maintenace/ keep
without having all file and structure like what we have in oracle
10g J developer on Mywork folder?
Help me ..please...

erie

Erie,
if you are deploying to Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) or higher, then you don't need to deploy the ADF runtime libraries because they are already there.
If you create a deployment profile for the application you want to deploy - e.g. a WAR file or EAR file deployment - then you can select the files you want to deploy. The default settings typically include all teh necessary files.

What is the default encoding file format for oracle database.

Hello,
I wanted to create all files in ANSI format irrespective of database characterset. is there any way to confirm?
please help me out.

Hello,
AS per my knowledge, UTL_FILE expects that files opened by UTL_FILE.FOPEN in text mode are encoded in the database character set And files opened by UTL_FILE.FOPEN_NCHAR in text mode are encoded in the UTF8 character set. However there is not any parameter to set default encoding format for file. It works as mentioned above.
Encoding mode is depend on database character set. If you want to change it while reading/writing file then you can use utl_encode.text_encode/ utl_encode.text_decode/ UTL_RAW.CONVERT function.
When data encoded in one character set is read and Globalization Support is told (such as by means of NLS_LANG) that it is encoded in another character set, the result is indeterminate. If NLS_LANG is set, it should therefore be the same as the database character set..
I wanted to create file using UTL_FILE. and whatever files gets create that should be in ANSI format.
Database version : 11.2.0.1

Hi,
>>>>We have to send the original xml-payload and the generated (over XSL-FO) pdf-file as attachments in one mail.
Could this be realized with this solution?
then don't set it as constant
use getContextData method to get the xsl filename
from one of the folders:
moduleContext.getContextData("dirName");
then you only have to add <b>dirName </b> parameter
in the mail adapter configuration (modules tab)
and specify the path to your xsl over there
this way you're adapter module will be reusable
and you'll have both XML-payload and the XSL
(so you'll be able to generate PDF)

2GB OR NOT 2GB - FILE LIMITS IN ORACLE

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2002-04-11
2GB OR NOT 2GB - FILE LIMITS IN ORACLE
======================================
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This article describes "2Gb" issues. It gives information on why 2Gb
is a magical number and outlines the issues you need to know about if
you are considering using Oracle with files larger than 2Gb in size.
It also
looks at some other file related limits and issues.
The article has a Unix bias as this is where most of the 2Gb issues
arise but there is information relevant to other (non-unix)
platforms.
Articles giving port specific limits are listed in the last section.
Topics covered include:
Why is 2Gb a Special Number ?
Why use 2Gb+ Datafiles ?
Export and 2Gb
SQL*Loader and 2Gb
Oracle and other 2Gb issues
Port Specific Information on "Large Files"
Why is 2Gb a Special Number ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many CPU's and system call interfaces (API's) in use today use a word
size of 32 bits. This word size imposes limits on many operations.
In many cases the standard API's for file operations use a 32-bit signed
word to represent both file size and current position within a file (byte
displacement). A 'signed' 32bit word uses the top most bit as a sign
indicator leaving only 31 bits to represent the actual value (positive or
negative). In hexadecimal the largest positive number that can be
represented in in 31 bits is 0x7FFFFFFF , which is +2147483647 decimal.
This is ONE less than 2Gb.
Files of 2Gb or more are generally known as 'large files'. As one might
expect problems can start to surface once you try to use the number
2147483648 or higher in a 32bit environment. To overcome this problem
recent versions of operating systems have defined new system calls which
typically use 64-bit addressing for file sizes and offsets. Recent Oracle
releases make use of these new interfaces but there are a number of issues
one should be aware of before deciding to use 'large files'.
What does this mean when using Oracle ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 32bit issue affects Oracle in a number of ways. In order to use large
files you need to have:
1. An operating system that supports 2Gb+ files or raw devices
2. An operating system which has an API to support I/O on 2Gb+ files
3. A version of Oracle which uses this API
Today most platforms support large files and have 64bit APIs for such
files.
Releases of Oracle from 7.3 onwards usually make use of these 64bit APIs
but the situation is very dependent on platform, operating system version
and the Oracle version. In some cases 'large file' support is present by
default, while in other cases a special patch may be required.
At the time of writing there are some tools within Oracle which have not
been updated to use the new API's, most notably tools like EXPORT and
SQL*LOADER, but again the exact situation is platform and version specific.
Why use 2Gb+ Datafiles ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this section we will try to summarise the advantages and disadvantages
of using "large" files / devices for Oracle datafiles:
Advantages of files larger than 2Gb:
On most platforms Oracle7 supports up to 1022 datafiles.
With files < 2Gb this limits the database size to less than 2044Gb.
This is not an issue with Oracle8 which supports many more files.
In reality the maximum database size would be less than 2044Gb due
to maintaining separate data in separate tablespaces. Some of these
may be much less than 2Gb in size.
Less files to manage for smaller databases.
Less file handle resources required
Disadvantages of files larger than 2Gb:
The unit of recovery is larger. A 2Gb file may take between 15 minutes
and 1 hour to backup / restore depending on the backup media and
disk speeds. An 8Gb file may take 4 times as long.
Parallelism of backup / recovery operations may be impacted.
There may be platform specific limitations - Eg: Asynchronous IO
operations may be serialised above the 2Gb mark.
As handling of files above 2Gb may need patches, special configuration
etc.. there is an increased risk involved as opposed to smaller files.
Eg: On certain AIX releases Asynchronous IO serialises above 2Gb.
Important points if using files >= 2Gb
Check with the OS Vendor to determine if large files are supported
and how to configure for them.
Check with the OS Vendor what the maximum file size actually is.
Check with Oracle support if any patches or limitations apply
on your platform , OS version and Oracle version.
Remember to check again if you are considering upgrading either
Oracle or the OS in case any patches are required in the release
you are moving to.
Make sure any operating system limits are set correctly to allow
access to large files for all users.
Make sure any backup scripts can also cope with large files.
Note that there is still a limit to the maximum file size you
can use for datafiles above 2Gb in size. The exact limit depends
on the DB_BLOCK_SIZE of the database and the platform. On most
platforms (Unix, NT, VMS) the limit on file size is around
4194302*DB_BLOCK_SIZE.
Important notes generally
Be careful when allowing files to automatically resize. It is
sensible to always limit the MAXSIZE for AUTOEXTEND files to less
than 2Gb if not using 'large files', and to a sensible limit
otherwise. Note that due to <Bug:568232> it is possible to specify
an value of MAXSIZE larger than Oracle can cope with which may
result in internal errors after the resize occurs. (Errors
typically include ORA-600 [3292])
On many platforms Oracle datafiles have an additional header
block at the start of the file so creating a file of 2Gb actually
requires slightly more than 2Gb of disk space. On Unix platforms
the additional header for datafiles is usually DB_BLOCK_SIZE bytes
but may be larger when creating datafiles on raw devices.
2Gb related Oracle Errors:
These are a few of the errors which may occur when a 2Gb limit
is present. They are not in any particular order.
ORA-01119 Error in creating datafile xxxx
ORA-27044 unable to write header block of file
SVR4 Error: 22: Invalid argument
ORA-19502 write error on file 'filename', blockno x (blocksize=nn)
ORA-27070 skgfdisp: async read/write failed
ORA-02237 invalid file size
KCF:write/open error dba=xxxxxx block=xxxx online=xxxx file=xxxxxxxx
file limit exceed.
Unix error 27, EFBIG
Export and 2Gb
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2Gb Export File Size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the time of writing most versions of export use the default file
open API when creating an export file. This means that on many platforms
it is impossible to export a file of 2Gb or larger to a file system file.
There are several options available to overcome 2Gb file limits with
export such as:
- It is generally possible to write an export > 2Gb to a raw device.
Obviously the raw device has to be large enough to fit the entire
export into it.
- By exporting to a named pipe (on Unix) one can compress, zip or
split up the output.
See: "Quick Reference to Exporting >2Gb on Unix" <Note:30528.1>
- One can export to tape (on most platforms)
See "Exporting to tape on Unix systems" <Note:30428.1>
(This article also describes in detail how to export to
a unix pipe, remote shell etc..)
Other 2Gb Export Issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle has a maximum extent size of 2Gb. Unfortunately there is a problem
with EXPORT on many releases of Oracle such that if you export a large table
and specify COMPRESS=Y then it is possible for the NEXT storage clause
of the statement in the EXPORT file to contain a size above 2Gb. This
will cause import to fail even if IGNORE=Y is specified at import time.
This issue is reported in <Bug:708790> and is alerted in <Note:62436.1>
An export will typically report errors like this when it hits a 2Gb
limit:
. . exporting table BIGEXPORT
EXP-00015: error on row 10660 of table BIGEXPORT,
column MYCOL, datatype 96
EXP-00002: error in writing to export file
EXP-00002: error in writing to export file
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully
There is a secondary issue reported in <Bug:185855> which indicates that
a full database export generates a CREATE TABLESPACE command with the
file size specified in BYTES. If the filesize is above 2Gb this may
cause an ORA-2237 error when attempting to create the file on IMPORT.
This issue can be worked around be creating the tablespace prior to
importing by specifying the file size in 'M' instead of in bytes.
<Bug:490837> indicates a similar problem.
Export to Tape
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The VOLSIZE parameter for export is limited to values less that 4Gb.
On some platforms may be only 2Gb.
This is corrected in Oracle 8i. <Bug:490190> describes this problem.
SQL*Loader and 2Gb
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Typically SQL*Loader will error when it attempts to open an input
file larger than 2Gb with an error of the form:
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (bigfile.dat)
SVR4 Error: 79: Value too large for defined data type
The examples in <Note:30528.1> can be modified to for use with SQL*Loader
for large input data files.
Oracle 8.0.6 provides large file support for discard and log files in
SQL*Loader but the maximum input data file size still varies between
platforms. See <Bug:948460> for details of the input file limit.
<Bug:749600> covers the maximum discard file size.
Oracle and other 2Gb issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This sections lists miscellaneous 2Gb issues:
- From Oracle 8.0.5 onwards 64bit releases are available on most platforms.
An extract from the 8.0.5 README file introduces these - see <Note:62252.1>
- DBV (the database verification file program) may not be able to scan
datafiles larger than 2Gb reporting "DBV-100".
This is reported in <Bug:710888>
- "DATAFILE ... SIZE xxxxxx" clauses of SQL commands in Oracle must be
specified in 'M' or 'K' to create files larger than 2Gb otherwise the
error "ORA-02237: invalid file size" is reported. This is documented
in <Bug:185855>.
- Tablespace quotas cannot exceed 2Gb on releases before Oracle 7.3.4.
Eg: ALTER USER <username> QUOTA 2500M ON <tablespacename>
reports
ORA-2187: invalid quota specification.
This is documented in <Bug:425831>.
The workaround is to grant users UNLIMITED TABLESPACE privilege if they
need a quota above 2Gb.
- Tools which spool output may error if the spool file reaches 2Gb in size.
Eg: sqlplus spool output.
- Certain 'core' functions in Oracle tools do not support large files -
See <Bug:749600> which is fixed in Oracle 8.0.6 and 8.1.6.
Note that this fix is NOT in Oracle 8.1.5 nor in any patch set.
Even with this fix there may still be large file restrictions as not
all code uses these 'core' functions.
Note though that <Bug:749600> covers CORE functions - some areas of code
may still have problems.
Eg: CORE is not used for SQL*Loader input file I/O
- The UTL_FILE package uses the 'core' functions mentioned above and so is
limited by 2Gb restrictions Oracle releases which do not contain this fix.
<Package:UTL_FILE> is a PL/SQL package which allows file IO from within
PL/SQL.
Port Specific Information on "Large Files"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Below are references to information on large file support for specific
platforms. Although every effort is made to keep the information in
these articles up-to-date it is still advisable to carefully test any
operation which reads or writes from / to large files:

See <Bug:1372172>

I'm not aware of a packaged PL/SQL solution for this in Oracle 8.1.7.3 - however it is very easy to create such a program...
Step 1
Write a simple Java program like the one listed:
import java.io.File;
public class fileCheckUtl {
public static int fileExists(String FileName) {
File x = new File(FileName);
if (x.exists())
return 1;
else return 0;
public static void main (String args[]) {
fileCheckUtl f = new fileCheckUtl();
int i;
i = f.fileExists(args[0]);
System.out.println(i);
Step 2 Load this into the Oracle data using LoadJava
loadjava -verbose -resolve -user user/pw@db fileCheckUtl.java
The output should be something like this:
creating : source fileCheckUtl
loading : source fileCheckUtl
creating : fileCheckUtl
resolving: source fileCheckUtl
Step 3 - Create a PL/SQL wrapper for the Java Class:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION FILE_CHECK_UTL (file_name IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER AS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'fileCheckUtl.fileExists(java.lang.String) return int';
Step 4 Test it:
SQL> select file_check_utl('f:\myjava\fileCheckUtl.java') from dual
2 /
FILE_CHECK_UTL('F:\MYJAVA\FILECHECKUTL.JAVA')

Upgrading oracle database 9.2.0.5 to 9.2.0.8 for Oracle E-Business suite

I have applied patch to upgrade Oracle E-business suite(11.5.10) database from 9.2.0.5 to 9.2.0.8. but after applying patch also it showing 9.2.0.5. please help me.

Thanks Hussain for ur reply
server OS is windows server 2003 std. i have performed following steps
1.     First I installed 11.5.10.2 Technology Stack Validation Patch (Revision 1 July, 2005) on both application (D:\Oracle\visappl) and database (D:\oracle\Visdb\9.2.0) home. (p4318672_11i_GENERIC.zip)
2.     Then I review the html log file generated for both the home. Html file generated for oracle home with ALL PASS status. But html file for DBMS oracle home has return FAIL status. I review the reason in txkVal11510MP_DB.html. it gives me following reason to fail
“11.5.10.2 requires that your Oracle 9iR2 database version to be 9.2.0.6.0 or higher on Windows platform. Please refer to Oracle MetaLink Note 216550.1 "Oracle Applications Release 11i with Oracle 9i Release 2 (9.2.0)" to upgrade to the latest certified version of Oracle 9iR2. After upgrading to 9.2.0.6, you must apply 9.2.0.6 patch 5 ( 4287598 ) before upgrading to 11.5.10.2. “
3.     I went through the Metalink Note 216550.1. I refer Section 2 of it. I applied patch 5035661. when I applied this patch , output of this patch mentioned that OUI 2.2 is already installed on both the Home.
4.     Then I applied 9.2.0.6 patch 5 (4287598). Prior to this I applied patch 2617419 because patch 4287598 require OPatch 1.0.0.0.52.
5.     I performed patch 4287598 post installation task also. I didn’t apply windows patch 6, because my database was not showing 9.2.0.8 as required by windows patch 6.
6.     so this is the complete task list I have done to upgrade database from 9.2.0.5 to 9.2.0.8
output of given query is as below:
Oracle9i Catalog Views     9.2.0.5.0     VALID

No rootpre.sh file found in Oracle 11g r1 download for AIX

I downloaded the 11.1.0.6.0 version of Oracle 11g from the website and unzipped it with the unzip_aix on a Power7 system. The files were unzipped into a directory called database. I could not find the rootpre.sh script anywhere. What am I missing?
The download site mentions a rootpre_aix.zip file for downloads prior to January 2008... confused and unexperienced. Wouldn't any download be after 2008?

Same here. The installation instructions for Oracle in AIX is asking to run the preRoot.sh. Where can I get it this file, since I do not have Oracle CD.

Raw device for oracle 8.1.7 on AIX 4.3.3

Hi there,
I am trying to use a raw device on AIX 4.3.3 for ORACLE 8.1.7.
I have created a raw device /dev/or_system
brw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 54, 1 Mar 04 10:44 or_system
but it is not possible to create a datafile on it :
SVRMGR> create database "GLM"
maxinstances 8
character set "WE8ISO8859P1"
datafile '/dev/or_system' size 150M REUSE
logfile
GROUP 1 ('/oracle/GLM/redo/log1.ora') size 100M,
GROUP 2 ('/oracle/GLM/redo/log2.ora') size 100M,
GROUP 3 ('/oracle/GLM/redo/log3.ora') size 100M,
GROUP 4 ('/oracle/GLM/redo/log4.ora') size 100M;
create database "GLM"
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-01519: error while processing file '?/rdbms/admin/sql.bsq' near line 407
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01119: error in creating database file '/dev/or_system'
ORA-27038: skgfrcre: file exists
SVRMGR>
The ORA-27028 in exact this situation was reported as a bug in prior ORACLE Versions 8.0.4/ 8.0.5 and had
the bug no. 690228.
But we use as mentioned 8.1.7.
What do I do wrong?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you
Gerhard

Each raw device you create is used as a single data file.
Eg mklv -y 'myfile' <vgname> <number of logical partitians>
Will have two special files associated with them /dev/rmyfile and /dev/myfile. The number of logical partitians will be the size of your datafile subtract 1 meg for overhead.
So, if you were addding the above raw volume to a tablespace, and the lp size was 32 meg, you would
create tabelspace tsname datafile '/dev/rmyfile' size 31 m;
Note the use of rmyfile not myfile.

Create Custom response file for Oracle 9i client

I am trying to create a customized response file for oracle 9i client installation,
setup -record -destinationFile C:\response_files\install_oracle
i replaced setup with the path and i followed the instruction correctly, after the installation is done i do get two response files in the location
Then i created a batch file to run the response file , it installed , but when i check the compmonents what ever is installed, it never recorded all the components which i installed during the time of RECORD mode
is there any thing i need to do for record all the components
Please advice
Thank you
Ravi

i have oracle client 9.2.0.1.0
We need to run both the run time installation and custom installation
when i did record i was able to get only the run time installation, the components which i customized, i never got, after when i try to install the response file, it never installa all the components
what should i do to make both runtime and custom to be done in one response file,
i have a .rsp files which do install the custom with all installtion, but we also need
under programs, ORACLE INSTALLTION PRODUCTS and under that HOME SELCTOR, UNIVERSAL INSTALLER, missing.
let meknow how i can add this to my .rsp files which installs perfectly with custom installtion, if you have any customised .rsp files which will fill my needs, can any one post it
