Migrate solaris 8 oracle applications to solaris 10 using oracle vm

Hi,
I have Oracle Applications 11.5.8 running on Solaris 8 on SPARC machine (the forms and concurrent servers) and Linux SLES9 for the Oracle 9i database server.
I am exploring if it's possible to migrate the forms and concurrent tier from Solaris 8 on SPARC to a Solaris 10 Oracle VM running on x86 platform. That is, 1) install Oracle VM on x86 platform 2) install solaris 10 on the solaris container of this VM (solaris 8 not supported) 3) try to move forms and concurrent application tier to this solaris 10.
Has anyone tried this before or know whether it can be done?

Moderator Action:
This thread has been moved from the Solaris On x86 forum space,
to the Oracle Applications Server forum space,
for closer topic alignment.

Capturing error messages from Oracle EBS APIs when using Oracle Apps Adapter

We are using Oracle applications adapter to call Oracle EBS (both R11.5 and R12) APIs. I want to understand the best practice around error handling when using Oracle Apps Adapter to call Oracle EBS.
Here are some observations:
1. Most of the APIs return X_RETURN_STATUS and X_MSG_DATA containing the status and messages if any.
2. If the MSG COUNT is 1 then X_MSG_DATA contains the message, if MSG COUNT is > 1. X_MSG_DATA is empty.
We know that when calling the API directly from PL/SQL, we need to loop through FND_MSG_PUB to fetch all messages when there are more than 1. How do we achieve the same using Apps Adapter as Apps Adapter generates the PL/SQL block to call the API dynamically at runtime.
In some APIs, which have table/rec types as input or output parameters, Apps Adapter generates a wrapper package to do conversion from SQL--> PL/SQL and viceversa. In this case the adapter calls the custom package generated which internally calls the API. For these APIs we were able to put the logic to loop through FND_MSG_PUB and return a concatenated string as value of X_MSG_DATA.
But what should we do for the APIs which do NOT have a rec/table type as input or output, in which case the Apps Adapter directly calls the API and there is no intermediate custom package?
How are others handling this?

Configuring Oracle Application Server to use a user friendly url

Hi All,
I am having trouble configuring the apache httpd.conf file within an applicaton server to be able to use user-friendly urls for the infrastructure identity management tools server. I also need this for security reasons as well as hardware reasons - loadbalancing.
At the moment I have a standard setup, whereby the sso application server is using port 7777. I would like the user not to enter the port, but to enter just a standard url, like http://login.<company>.com.au, so that if the user needs to modify oid using the oiddas web application, they can enter something like http://login.<company>.com.au/oiddas/ rather than http://<machine host name>:7777/oiddas/. This would also be used by portal for sso logins.
From the standard installation, Apache was configured as follows:
Port 7777
Listen 7777
ServerName <machine host name>
DocumentRoot <root document folder>
Now reading the documentation from the Oracle Application Server Installation notes for the Http Server, they document how to do this (in the loadbalancer section - this will eventually be used in the hardware setup):
Port 80
Listen 7777
Listen 80
# Virtual Hosts
# This section is mandatory for URLs that are generated by
# the PL/SQL packages of the Oracle Portal and various other components
# These entries dictate that the server should listen on port
# 7777, but will assert that it is using port 80, so that
# self-referential URLs generated specify www.oracle.com:80
# This will create URLs that are valid for the browser since
# the browser does not directly see the host server.oracle.com.
NameVirtualHost <machine ip>:7777
<VirtualHost <nameofmachine>:7777>
ServerName login.<company>.com.au
Port 80
</VirtualHost>
# Since the previous virtual host entry will cause all links
# generated by the Oracle Portal to use port 80, the server.company.com
# server needs to listen on 80 as well since the Parallel Page
# Engine will make connection requests to Port 80 to request the
# portlets.
NameVirtualHost <machine ip>:80
<VirtualHost <nameofmachine>:80>
ServerName login.<company>.com.au
Port 80
<VirtualHost>
Note that I used slightly different names for the url's rather than the oracle names www.oracle.com and server.oracle.com
Now after applying this, I noticed not only could I not go to the oiddas from the original machine name, but also couldnt go there from the new machine name.
Also I was not even able to go to the standard index page whereby you can go to the enterprise manager for the application server, from either names.
The following urls provide me with "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" error message:
http://login.<company>.com.au:7777/
http://<nameofmachine>:7777/
The following urls provide me with "Page Under Construction" error message:
http://login.<company>.com.au/
http://<nameofmachine>/
Could someone please tell me why this is the case, considering I am using the installation procedures Oracle has published within the Oracle Http Server Admistrators Guide (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14007/netconf.htm#sthref379).
Cheers
Rodney

Hi Rondey,
Ik think that I can see your probleem.
Just change the following line at your httpd.conf, then restart the component.
First of all if the port is installed with nr. 7777. then the listen process will be on port 7778
the second thing is just try to do the following steps
((Port 80 to Port 7777)))
Listen 7778
%%%% In loadbalancer section %%%%%%
just add the following lines
Listen 80
Listen 8103
Listen 8102
NameVirtualHost *
NameVirtualHost *:8103 or 80
If you want to use this ports (8103 or 8102) for other site (url), then
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName <machine ip> or (host name)
Hear from U,
Regards,
Hamdy

Oracle Applications Release 11i with Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0)

Hi,
I am upgrading our Oracle EBS 11i database to Oracle 10g R2 as per note:362203.1.
In section After the Database Upgrade --> 5. Implement and run AutoConfig we need to refer to Note:165195.1.(Section 8: Migrating to AutoConfig on the Database Tier).
Since I dont have the DB enviornement file, I created one by copying the envioroment file from Oracle 9i Home and replaced 9.2.0 with 10.2.0. I also created Apache directory under Oracle 10g Home and copied perl directory from Oracle 9i Home/Apache to Oracle 10g Home/Apache. This way I got the DB enviornement file for Oracle 10g Home.
Then I used the following command to create the DB Context File:
perl adbldxml.pl tier=db appsuser=apps
Then executed autoconfig using:
adconfig.cmd contextfile=<Full path to the CONTEXT>
Is this the way I should do? Its working ok but I am not sure if my method is ok.
Plz suggest if some other method is there.
Thanks.
Thiru

This is a way I used to do it too. I am not sure whether it is the official way, but it works nevertheless.
Do make sure you run autoconfig afterwards, which will create a new environment file for you. Then stop listener and database, source the new environment file and restart listener and database.
I found some other procedure in order for you to recreate the environment file:
1. On the application tier, Execute $AD_TOP/bin/admkappsutil.pl to generate appsutil.zip for the database tier.
2. Copy this appsutil.zip to the database tier and unzip it into the ORACLE_HOME
3. Set the following environment variables:
ORACLE_HOME =<10g ORACLE_HOME>
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = <10g ORACLE_HOME/lib, 10g ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib>
ORACLE_SID = instance name running on this database node.
PATH= $PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin;
TNS_ADMIN = $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/<context_name> 4. Edit the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file. Change the aliases for SID=<new RAC instance name>
5. Modify the listener.ora. Change the instance name and Oracle Home to match environment
6. Start the listener.
7. From the 10g ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin directory, create an instance-specific XML context file by executing the command:
adbldxml.pl tier=db appsuser=<APPSuser> appspasswd=<APPSpwd>8. De-register the current configuration using the command:
perl $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/adgentns.pl appspass=apps contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE -removeserver9. Rename $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<rac instance>.ora , to a new name (i.e. init<rac instance>.ora.old in order to allow AutoConfig to regenerate the file using the RAC specific parameters.
10. From the 10g ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin directory, execute AutoConfig on the database tier by running the adconfig.pl script.
Now you should have the officially created environment file.
HTH.

I have a problem to extract data from oracle dump file (.dmp) using oracle database or any other tools.

There is IMP utility which provides me data as graphical way. But i need extract data in such a way so that i could able to use in my application.
thanks,
mohan

Hi,
EdStevens
Actually I was using SQL Developer. Sorry for the wrong define question. Now the real problem is:
I want to read or extract data in a txt file from Oracle Dump (.dmp) file without using Oracle sqlPlus or Oracle Database.
No need to say that i am able to extract dump data using sqlPlus. But for that, there is a little burden to install oracle database
or sql Developer.
I also listen about Oracle Loader a little bit. Is it a tool for providing extraction of data from Oracle dump file.
Thanks for your previous reply,
And now waiting for your suggestion.
thanks,
mohan

Install Oracle Application server 10g and Oracle database 10g on same box

Hi Experts!
i need to install Oracle database and oracle application server on the same machine(windows xp).
when i install both of them and reboot the machine either oracle database or oracle application server fails...
i suspect that the problem might be due to two - ORACLE_HOME
let me know how i can resolve this issue.
Note: Oracle DB and OAS OPMN process run as a windows service.
after restart opmn fails
Many thanks in advance
-Raghav

Jacco, in spite of your ace :-) this time I cannot
completely agree with you:
I hope sincerely that this ace thing doesn't "scare" anyone from challengeing me. I can't know everything, even though this ace sign suggests it.
- things like ORACLE_HOME are also set in the system
environment settings. This may lead to conflicts;It does, therefore you should set them with the service (I figured the installer of Oracle would actually do that for you, but I hardly ever work with Windows)
- the database and AS have different versions of the
RSFs. The most recent AS version is using 10.1.0.5
RSFs, where the database uses 10.2.x. This leads to
conflicts.
- Port conflicts are common in the ONS area, however
this should not prevent startup and should not be
very likely at this point since all products use the
same inventory and it should have been checked for
ports that are in use.ons port conflics shouldn't precent startup, but other port conflicts can.
>
With the total of our posts the problem should be
resolved anyway ;)Exactly, as long as the reader has the proper knowledge to understand them ;)
(this feels like a post just to make sure that you know I respect your opinions and advices)

Oracle Applications Release 12 and Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2

Hi
I'm trying to deploying process flows to Workflow but I get the following error:
RPE-02054: The version of Oracle Workflow is incompatible with this Control Center. Required 2.6.3, but found 2.6.0.
Comment I found on another thread: "As far Workflow Versions with Oracle Applications is concerned, it is always 2.6.0. Workflow is not identified with its 2.6.x versioning in Oracle Applications. The 2.6.x.x versioning is purely for Workflow Standalone."
Oracle Warehouse Builder Client: 10.2.1.31
Oracle Warehouse Builder Repository: 10.2.0.1.0
Oracle Applications Release 12
Any help would be appreciated.

May be the excerpt from the other thread is a response I posted.
So, when you say, deploying process flows to Workflow, I do not understand what you are doing exactly? If this involves the Oracle Warehouse Builder you may want to explain a little more in detail since I do not understand how OWB works with Workflow. But as far as I have heard, it is Workflow standalone that is packaged with OWB but you are deploying into Oracle Applications.
What is the version of Oracle Workflow Builder you are using?
Is the steps you are doing certified to be done with Oracle Applications R12?
Thanks

Connect oracle application server 10g with oracle database 9i

Hello, I am doing a project with Oracle Application Server and application server can not connect with my Oracle 9i database, how do my version of Oracle Application Server is the 10g, thanks for the help and excuse my English

Well, now it depends how do you want to access your 9i database from Application Server via J2EE application deployed at Application Server or via Portal.
For J2EE application, you can use connect string for your 9i database in datasources.xml of J2EE app.
For Portal application, again it depends what you want to do - create an data entry application or just want to fetch a report based on 9i database.
Hope I have provided answer to your question.
Regards.

Does sun Cluster 3.0/3.1 HA Oracle agent support to use Oracle spfile?

When defining the resource, the 'parameter_file' properties is usually sets to the Oracle pfile. Is it possible to use Oracle spfile?
It is said if leaving 'parameter_file' NULL, it will be default to Oracle default. Suppose leaving it NULL and with Oracle spfile created in default location, will it use the spfile?

You did not specify which Sun Cluster version and Oracle version you are running.
Within SC 3.1 my understanding is that beginning with Oracle 9i it is possible to use the spfile.
If you leave the "parameter_file" property empty (NULL) then the default behaviour for 9i should work:
search under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs in the order:
1. spfile$(ORACLE_SID}.ora
2. spfile.ora
3. init${ORACLE_SID}.ora

Oracle Application Server 10g on Oracle VirtualBox

Dear All,
I recently almost completed learning OAS 10g, I know 10g is now a past. but it needs to learn various basics of 10g. like Infra, Web, Applications server, database server etc. All this I have learned on single machine with Quad 2 Core+8GB RAM+320 Hdd and 2.4Mhz processor.
Now, I want to install all four products(above) sepretly on Oracle Virtual Box Virtual Machines(VM). Can any one have this experience and share with me step by step and what configuration (like RAM,space etc) is needed on one VMs for each product. Thanks.

How to Connect Oracle Database 10g with using Oracle Dev 10g

Hello there,
I have problem with connection on database 10g using oracle dev 10g on the same server.
The message is: TNS... bla..bla... it means not connect.
Please advice
Regards
Leksono

just simple
copy the from the database instance the tnsnames.ora
file's entried into developer folders tnsnames.ora
file and you can connect to DBFirst of all there is no such error as TNS... bla..bla... it means not connect.
there are several errors for the tnsnames, post the exact error
And it is not recommended that you copy it from the database's tnsnames file, it doesn't always work.
to configure the tnsnames.ora you have 2 ways, manual and GUI.
For GUI use the Net configuration assistance from your Devsuite home and for manual you need edit the tnsnames.ora file usually under %ORACLE_HOME%/NETWORK/ADMIN
You need to specify the connection string name, the hostname and the database SID name. It should look something like this.
<connection identifier> =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host name)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = SID)

Integrate oracle applications attachment feature with Oracle iFS

Hi Gurus,
we have installed oracle contracts 11.5.8 and here is some overview on the issue we are facing.
The contract creation and approval process is as follows. User creates contract header and attach contract word template document to the oracle contract header. User then submits the contract for approval. When the contract goes through the approval process the approver receives the notification and is expected to open the contract header and then go to attachments to open the contract word document. The approver makes the necessary changes to the attached contract word document and then approves the request.
In the above described scenario we have two ways to create the attachements.
1. Create attachment with datatype as FILE. This option uploads the word document in the database and then allows the approver to view the word document. But it does not allow the approver to change and save the word document.
2. Create attachment with datatype as DOCUMENT REGERENCE. This gives error 'Document management nodes not defined'.
We are looking at using Oracle iFS for document management and then integrating it with the attachments ? Can anyone point us to necessary installation and setups required to achieve this ? Can someone let us know if this is even feasible ?
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ganesh Prabhu

Yes is possible. You will need to do a similar way of the use of ASP in SiteStudio. Done the procedures, you can use PHP code and PHP custom fragments.

thanks,
mohan

This isn't a SQLDeveloper question. You will get better answers in the Database - General forum.
Oracle dump files produced by the exp or expdp utilities are inproprietary formats which can only be read by the imp or impdp utilities respectively.
The best way to get data out of a dump file is to import it into a database and then extract it to plain text files using SQL.
Alternatively, leave it in the database and your application can access it there.
The exp dump file is mostly plain text, but the format is not published so you could waste a lot of time figuring it out.
