Is Oracle database companion required for OIM?

Hello,
We have inherited a system with the database companion installed and now we need to build a new OIM environment, do we need to install it prior to OIM installation?
Thanks

On machine2, open the browser and enter the following URL:
http://machine-name:port/forms/frmservlet?config=test

This suggestion assumes you have the Oracle Developer Suite installed on Machine 2 and requires you to distribute your Forms files to Machine 2 or share them on a common network drive. This is not a good solution!
Oracle Forms 10g only supports "Web Deployment" runtime. As InoL indicated, this means you must have an application server (AS) to "serve" the application to a web client. The best AS to use is the Oracle Application Server (OAS) 10g as it provides the easiest integration with Oracle Forms Services (the component that handles the translation of the Forms compiled binary to Java).
@HamidHelal, you must have a dedicated application server running the OAS. Ideally, it is recommended that you have a 3 tiered solution. Tier 1: Database Server, Tier 2: Application Server, Tier 3: Client. Depending on your needs, Tier 1 and 2 can be hosted on the same physical server.
For more information on setting up an OAS with Forms Services, I recommend you review the Forms Services Deployment Guide in the Oracle Forms 10g Documentation section.
Hope this helps,

Hi Gurus, I got the solution from Oracle. SOA 11.1.1.7.0 shouldn't be used with Identity Management 11.1.2.1.0(11GR1-PS1) version. Identity Management 11.1.2.1.0(11GR1-PS1) is bundled with SOA 11.1.1.6.0. When used this SOA version, Installation went smooth. Thanks VG

Where can I get Oracle database server 9i for windows 2003

Hi,
I need Oracle Database Server 9i for Windows 2003. From Oracle online download, there is one a patch set available. Where can I get the full version?
Thanks
Laura

Hi, I found the solution. There is no software to direcly install Oracle 9i on Windows 2003. I need to install the software for NT/2000 first, the patch it.
That's why there is only patchset for 2003 for downloading. See the doc below:
three installation components required to install
Oracle9i Database release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) on Windows Server 2003. These three
installation components must be installed in the order listed. If you are
migrating a pre-existing Oracle9i database to Windows Server 2003, first
upgrade the database to the Oracle9i Database release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) patch set
before upgrading the operating system.
Obtain the following installation components:
Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for Windows
Oracle Universal Installer release 2.2.0.18.0 for Windows
Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) Patch Set for Windows

Oracle Database Migration Assistant for Unicode (DMU) is now available!

Oracle Database Migration Assistant for Unicode (DMU) is a next-generation GUI migration tool to help you migrate your databases to the Unicode character set. It is free for customers with database support contracts. The DMU is built on the same GUI platform as SQL Developer and JDeveloper. It uses dedicated RDBMS functionality to scan and convert a database to AL32UTF8 (or to the deprecated UTF8, if needed for some reasons). For existing AL32UTF8 and UTF8 databases, it provides a validation mode to check if data is really encoded in UTF-8. Learn more about the tool on its OTN pages.
There is a new Database Migration Assistant for Unicode. We encourage you to post all questions related to the tool and to the database character set migration process in general to that forum.
Thanks,
The DMU Development Team

HI there!
7.6.03 ? Why do you use outdated software for your migration.
At least use 7.6.06 or 7.7.07 !
About the performance topic - well, you've to figure out what the database is waiting for.
Activate time measurement, activate the DBanalyzer with a short snapshot interval (say 120 or 60 seconds) and check what warnings you get.
Also you should use the parameter check to make sure that you don't run into any setup-induced bottlenecks.
Apart from these very basic prerequisites for the analysis of this issue, you may want to check
SAP Note 1464560 FAQ: R3load on MaxDB
Maybe you can use some of the performance features available in the current R3load versions.
regards,
Lars
p.s.
open a support message if you're not able to do the performance analysis yourself.

Which version of Oracle database is best for Windows 7 Home Premium?

Any input as to which version of Oracle database is best for Windows Home premium? Is there a major difference between the express edition and 10g itself as far as the interface/learning purposes goes?

EssbaseApprentice wrote:
Any input as to which version of Oracle database is best for Windows Home premium?That's easy to answer, none . No oracle database version was released for Home(Premimum) series. There are several blog posts/articles which do mention that they have installed oracle releases over Home(Premium) platforms but whether it would work or not, it would be just a lottery and help regarding troubleshooting would not be there.
Is there a major difference between the express edition and 10g itself as far as the interface/learning purposes goes?You mean 10g Express Edition and 10g Enterprise, Standard Editions? If yes, then there is indeed difference. The Express edition is more like a developer's playground with a good looking GUI even there to administer it. EE or SE are the production releases , meant for being used in a very busy, highly concurrent environments. There would be additional features like RAC and Dataguard that would come with EE and wont be there in the XE. So if you are learning to become a production DBA, you should right away use EE or SE IMO .

Testing Oracle Internet Directory Connector for OIM

Hello,
I'm trying to test the running test cases available in the Oracle Internet Directory Connector for OIM but I'm failing because it seems that the current release of this connector doesn't have the java class tcUtilTestOID as described in the documentation. This class should be at test\troubleshoot\scripts directory, but there there are only the batch files with the test cases.

Database Size Required for SOA

I will be installing SOA Suite with OSB in Exalogic for testing. It is not for the production environment and very simple application will be used for testing. Database admin asked me what size database would be required but I did not find clear answer in the documentation anywhere. I would appreciate if some one could provide the answer.
Thanks
P.S: Oracle Database 11.2 will most likely be the preferred choice for the database.

Try and have a separate machine for the SOA Suite, e.g. server. Then use the developer machines for JDev.
It really comes down to what load you are going to put on your environment. I would recommend 4GB but I have run it fine with just 2GB. The issue of having JDev on the same machine is that JDev can very very memory hungry and can / will impact the developer experience.
cheers

Oracle database 11g certification for Java developer

Hello,
I'm Java developer, OCPJP 6 ( Oracle Certified Professional, Java Programmer +6+ ) and
I decided to pass exams: 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 to get OCA ( Oracle Database +11g+ Administrator Certified Associate ) certificate,
but I need some advice, maybe i should seek other certificate, that would be more valuable for Java developer, than OCA.
Thanks for advice.

The answer of whether a particular certification is valuable depends on you, not the tests themselves. The Oracle Certified Master for example is an extremely prestigious certification, and I have considered seeking it at some point in the future to improve my professional credentials. However, the same certification would have absolutely no value to my wife, because she's a homemaker with no interest or intent of ever working with Oracle.
Using an example a little closer to yours, only reversed --- I work as a DBA and PL/SQL developer. On several occasions I have dabbled with Java, and took a couple of classes when I worked for Oracle. I could code in Java if I had to, but wouldn't really be good without a lot of practice. However, I've never really had a sufficient need in my work to dig in and really practice enough to use it. I considered going for the Oracle Java certifications as a means of kick-starting that and getting to the point where it was really a viable option in my development. Ultimately I decided not to because I've been working with Oracle for better than fifteen years and there has never been an occasion where I really felt a need to know Java. If I were to spend a bunch of time improving my Java skills just for the certification, there's no guarantee I would ever use them after that.
Coming back to you -- if you already need SQL and DBA skills in your work, then those certifications should be of value to you immediately. If you think that you might work (or want to work) more with SQL and DBA-level skills in the future, then they should be of value to you in the future. If you won't use the skills now or ever, then the exams do nothing but add a line to your resume (which still has value, but you must determine how much).
