Migrate oracle 10.2.0.5.0 enterprise on windows server 2003 32bit to Linux

Hello,
I am trying to find any white paper regarding the benefits of migrating oracle database from windows server 2003 32bit
to RedHat linux server 64bit.
The current db version on windows is 10.2.0.5.0
The new version on linux will be 11.2.0.3.0
If anyone crossed such a white paper describing the pros & cons for such a migration..
Thanks alot.

John makes some very good points but I would like to clarify one thing from his post: you are planning three migrations:
1. From 32bit -> 64bit
2. From Windows to Linux
3. From Oracle 10gR2 to 11gR2
The second of these is the one most liekly to give you grief. You certainly should not attempt to combine it with a database upgrade. Either move the database to RHEL and then upgrade it, or upgrade it on Windows and then move it to the new server.
Of these, the first is the least controversial. So it's a nice point whether it is worth upgrading from Windows 32bit to Windows 64bit prior to moving to Linux.
Cheers, APC

We're running Windows server 2003 32bit and want to migrate to Windows server 2012R2 64bit, can someone provide a step by step procedure on how to migrate instances on ADAM to AD LDS?

I have no experience in dealing with servers, but my senior has asked me to investigate on how to migrate instances on ADAM (windows server 2003 32bit) to AD LDS (Windows server 2012R2 64 bit) as in place upgrade is not an option as we're running a 32bit
Server and want to migrate to a 64bit Server. can someone please give me a Walkthrough on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
it'd be of great help if you could give me a step by step process of replication.
There is no step-by-step article/guide of replication process, replication between AD LDS instances of the same configuration set is an automatic process.
All we need to make sure is to create a replica of the existing instance, and there is no network/security obstacle preventing the replication.
Please note that we need to install AD LDS from Server manager on Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2.
More information for you:

Install NetWeaver CE 7.1 on Windows Server 2003 32bit, Oracle database

Hi,
It is possible install NW CE 7.1 for Oracle on Windows Server 2003 32 bit ?
I have installed NW 2004s on Windows Server 2003 platform, and I need install CE 7.1 and then ESR.
I have downloaded CE and ESR 7.1 installs from "SAP Installations & Upgrades" location (DVD number 51033843), but it is only 64 bit version.
Thank you
BB

Yes - because successor releases of Netweaver 7.0 are only available as 64bit. 32bit platfomrs are no more available.

Oracle R12 EBS Forms not getting invoked in Windows server 2003

Hi,
I have installed Oracle EBS R12 in my personal laptop with Win2003 server as base OS. Until all these days I was able to launch the forms and work on EBS without any issues.
Today when I tried to login in and open a form, the system is just not responding. It is not launching the form applet. I checked the Java options and everything remain correct. My internet explorer settings are also proper and no firewall is existing. JRE version installed is 1.6.0_07. I even tried invoking test form from Oracle Forms options, but no form was launched.
The same issue happened a month before and I ended up installing Oracle again. However, I dont want to go to that option and requesting your valuable help to get this fixed.
Java console log is as mentioned below. Kindly check and help me getting this issue fixed.

Asif,
Finally I got the issue fixed. Did not download Java or any JRE version; because, the available version itself was Java 6 and the JRE version was 1.6.0_07.
The issue seems to be that, if the 'JRE Auto-Download' in Java control panel is set to 'Always Auto-Download' then java is trying to use the latest version available in their server. I then changed the setting to point to 'Prompt User' and tried opening a form and it worked!!!
Sounds like a solution to this issue and hope it doesn't recur. Will keep posted if I face any. Thanks for your help!
Navigation:
DO NOT TRY TO CLEANUP OR RE-INSTALL JAVA. TRY THE BELOW BEFORE YOU PERFORM SUCH THINGS.
Step1: Clear all cache and cleanup the history/temp memory in your browsers.
Step2: Close all your browsers (IE, Netscape, Chrome, Mozilla etc).
Step3: Check if your Java version is SE6 and JRE is pointing to version 1.6. You can check this in Java control panel -> General and Java tab respectively.
Step3: Control Panel --> Java (DClick) --> Go to Advanced tab --> expand "JNLP File/MIME Association" and "JRE Auto-Download" --> Select "Prompt User" in both and "Apply"
           In addition to this have the "Debugging" option enabled and "Show console" in the same tab.
Step4: Open IE and login to Oracle Apps. Click on any form. now Java will enable and you will be able to see the console messages. In a few moments(depending on your system speed), the forms should be displayed.
If this doesn't fix the issue, then copy paste the entire console message and post a question in this forum for help. Enjoy your EBS!!

Hi,
We got a "strange" error installing Oracle db on MS win Ser 2003. When the installation procedure created the database it stopped with Ora-604 and Ora-2248. My first thought was the language problem but I'm not sure.
Below you'll see the trace.log
If anyone can give me a clue, it would most appreciated !
Thanks a lot,
Jacques

Yes, there's a known problem, not with german language, but with territory Switzerland, see on metalink:
ORA-604 / ORA-02248 WITH NLS_LANG SET TO TERRITORY SWITZERLAND
Doc ID: 334481.1
ORA-02248 is only the last error, you have others:

Not sure whether this related to the same problem. As a workaround you may change the territory, for example to GERMANY. If that works you hit the bug mentioned in the metalink not. Normally NLS_LANG is set in the registry.

Incorrect download file for Oracle 9.2.0.1 for Windows server 2003

Hi,
I am trying to get hold of the Oracle 9.2.0.1 client software for Windows server 2003 from <http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oracle9i/index.html> the link is in the section "Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1)", titled "Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal/Client Edition for Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)"
I follow the links through and download the OUI and "9.2.0.1" software, however after downloading and unzipping the package it seems that the download was actually the 9.2.0.3 patch that cannot be installed without 9.2.0.1 installed first. I tried this on Friday and today with the same results.
Could you tell me how I get hold of the 9.2.0.1 client software for Windows Server 2003 please?
Thanks,
Mark Williams

As Windows 2003 is officially released this week, I believe Oracle will shortly announce which versions of the database will be supported on Windows 2003. Stay tuned.

More relevant info can be found at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=3 ... scroll down to 'Platform Guide' and select the appropriate guide - Windows 32 bit, Windows Itanium, or Windows 64 bit - that is relevant to your environment.

Thanks in Advance

If you are running the x64 version of Windows 2003 and not the Itanium version, you will find 10.2.0.1 here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201winx64soft.html
You may then patch it to 10.2.0.3 by downloading the patch from Metalink.

How to install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.2) in Windows Server 2003 x64 - Intel Xeon

I have tried to install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.2) in Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise Edition with Intel Xeon (EM64T) processors.
When I run setup.exe I get an error: "The image file C:\Documents and settings\administrator.SERVERNAME\my documents\92021 win64_disk1\setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine".
I have to install Oracle 9i in that server but I can't run the installation. Is there a way to solve this problem, is there a patch that can solve this? Anyone know something about this problem?
Thanks a lot!!!
I'm desperated!!

Hi,
reply to my own question:
In the docs provided with the downloads for Oracle Database Server 9i x64, I found that this version requires either
- Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition for 64-Bit Itanium 2 Systems
or
- Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for 64-Bit Itanium 2 Systems
So I guess, the only X64 platform being supported under Windows Server 2003 (both Datacenter / Enterprise Editions) is Itanium CPUs ...
... though this is not (!!!) clearly stated in the download link (other/newer versions are listed more precisely - I guess it's a matter of an old link: no Intel Xeon / AMD Opterons were available (???) when Oracle 9i database server was published).
So I'll give it a try with 10g database server ;-)))

Issues when Sharepoint Services 3.0 OS upgraded from windows server 2003 standard to windows server 2003 enterprise

In my sharepoint 2007, I have upgraded the OS from windows server 2003 standard to windows server 2003 enterprise R2 SP2. After the OS upgrade when I run the central admin it's showing this error "Microsoft Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 Error 2908
error has occurred" screen shot below of the error.
Any help?

Not sure I can help. In general MS does NOT support the upgrade of the Underlying OS without re-installing SharePoint. Many of the prerequisites that were installed when SharePoint was installed are OS specific. You can either contact
Product Support and see if they can provide any assistance or re-install SharePoint from scratch and re-attach/migrate all the existing databases with content into the new system on the new OS.

Do I need the /3gb switch on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition

I have an Oracle 10g database running on a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with 16gb of RAM. Do I need to set the /3gb and or /PAE switch in the boot.ini file for Oracle to use this memory?

This metalink doc talking pretty extensively about the setting
Implementing Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) or VLM on Windows Platforms
Doc ID: Note:225349.1
As you might know 32bit system has limitation of 4G max addressable memory issue. In Windows that's 2G limit because Windows reserve 2G for system. With /3G switch you can let Application address 3G with 1G for OS, if your system has more than 4G you need to use /PAE to address memory beyond 4G.
Of course if you don't plan to allocate more than 2G to Oracle SGA then don't need the settings.

HELP! Oracle 9i on Windows Server 2003

Hi, if I go to download the 9.0.2.1.0 release 2 of Oracle 9i for Windows Server 2003 there is only a patch and another small zip file, and not the full 3 Disk zip files? Then if you read the release notes under the zip links it points to the 9.0.2.1.0 release 2 of Oracle 9i for Windows 2000/XP? And then talks about applying some patches...
Can someone confirm that I do need to install the 9.0.2.1.0 release 2 of Oracle 9i for Windows 2000/XP on the Windows 2003 Server and then apply these patches?
TIA

This is the release option for the Windows 2003 Server:
Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal/Client Edition
for Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)
but like I mentioned above it only has a patch and another small zip file which is obviously not the complete Oracle9i database:
Here is the link to the release notes:

Migration 10.2.0.1.0 windows server 2003 to linux 11gr2

Hello
we are migrating from 10.2.0.1.0 windows server 2003 to unix 11gr2
please suggest any material regarding this kind of migration
there is a test environment also, so that i can test
right now i have downloaded the oracle linux 5.7 and will be installing 11g on it
for the test server----i am planning to use 'exp' since i have to export from windows to linux and then test the .NET applications on it
any valuable suggestions would b helpful
(rman and datapump also could be used i am aware)
also what is better linux or solaris??
thanks in advance

Hi;
I suggest to go wiht RMAN instead of datapump utulity. Because If you have lots of schema,trigger etc. you need to recheck them after import.So I prefer to go wiht RMAN
I suggest review:

Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2 never finishes searching for updates and use 100% of CPU.

Hi everyone, I am having issues updating a clean Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2, so any help with be appreciated cause I've already tried all my cards for the past 5 days in this particular issue without success.
All I did so far is installing Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise with Service Pack 2, open IE to update, it keeps searching for updates and never stop, after 20mn to 30mn the process svchost.exe start using 100% of my CPU.
I already tried the following scenarios:
1- Install IE8, install the update KB927891 and the Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I already had this one installed). Reboot and run windows update trough IE8 and the problem did not solved.
2- Install those 2 software "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run" and "MicrosoftFixit50777", open IE to update, it still hangs and continues eating my CPU. This is the output of "MicrosoftFixit".
Windows Update error 0x8007000D(2014-01-06-T-06_06_34A) --> Not Fixed
Cryptographic service components are not registered (This service is actually running successfully) --> Not Fixed
3- I found the following script that would register some DLL, deleting the "SoftwareDistribution" and forcing windows update to solve the problem and nothing happened either.
Link to script:

Here is a link to the content of my WindowUpdate.log file:

Thank you in advance for helping.

Herein is the root cause of your issue. A topic that's been discussed in several blogs, forums, and even in the media since September regards a known issue with attempting to patch IE6 RTM via Windows Update.
Aside from that particular issue... browsing the Internet with an unpatched instance of IE6, especially from a Windows Server system, is also asking for a world of hurt.
Might I suggest the following:
Download the IE8 for Windows Server 2003 installer to a thumb drive.
Download the latest Cumulative Security Update for IE8 for Windows Server 2003 to a thumb drive.
Reinstall Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
Upgrade to IE8 from the thumb drive installer and apply the
Cumulative Security Update.
Now your machine is capable of safely browsing to Windows Update to install the rest of the updates (well, maybe, there's also all those other Security Updates from the past seven years that your machine still has vulnerabilites for -- even those seven
years of updates are going to take a Very Long Time to scan for, download, and install).
Why don't you have a WSUS server? -- noting, wryly, that you've posted in the *WSUS* forum.

Access Denied to report file on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise

Hi,
I have a deployment problem for which I am out of ideas. I have an ASP.NET web site deployed on a server running Windows Server 2003 R2, sp2. It makes extensive use of Crystal Reports, including both displaying them and e-mailing them to specified recipients as PDF files. It all works great.
Now I need to port the web site to a different server, running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, sp1. The reports display fine as long as I am not trying to convert it to PDF for e-mailng. When it gets to the following line in my code:
MemoryStream memStream = (MemoryStream)rptDoc.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
It reports the following error:
Access denied.Error in File JobDetails {DC64A5D3-9DD7-4E4C-90F5-A08731409B29}.rpt:
Access to report file denied. Another program may be using it.
I finally got it to work by granting Modify permission to Everyone for the c:\Windows\Temp folder. Obviously this is not a good practice. Granting Full Control to the IUSR_servername account did not solve the problem on Windows Server Enterprise, although it did the trick on R2.
So the question is, which account needs which permission to the Temp folder to enable the PDF to get written?
Thanks.
Dan

What ever account the app is running under will need read / write permissions on the temp folder. Your working server should be a good place to look to see how the premissions were set there. The same will apply to any other server(?).
