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?
Edited by: user8962451 on Apr 2, 2010 7:34 AM

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.

1Z0-050 Oracle 11g New Features for Administrators

Which release are the exam 1Z0-050 - Oracle 11g New Features for Administrators, release 1 or release 2?
I need to study Oracle University Material Release 1 or Release 2?

Hi,
I have a question too.
I am 10g certified and looking to take the 11g New Features For Administrators course in the new year.
Previously when I certifed from 8i to 9i and then to 10g it was only required to take the exam and the course was optional although my company sends me anyway.
Looking on Oracles website it seems to be that to do the 11g New Features you now have also have to attend another instructor led course. I have posted a link.
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getlppage?page_id=212&path=DBAU
Can someone confirm if this is the case and that Oracle have changed the format of the New Features upgrade path,
cheers

How to change archivelog file size in oracle 11g

Hello,
In my oracle 11g database inside flash recovery area how to increase each files size , now it 41 Mb per file iits name is o1_mf_1_161_8mfpwtbj_.arc how to change it to
the understandable name.
Thanks and regards

Hi,
As you know archived log is create when online log is switch. Archived log size might be maximum equal to online redo log size.
Because archived log size is copied from online redo log file, if you want change archived redo log size, then you must change online redo log size.
But you must think, what is advantages and disadvantages of change of online redo log size, it depends direct task LGWR process.
You can change archived redo log name with change LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT parameter.
See : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams103.htm

UTL file exception handling oracle 11g

We use oracle 11g
We use UTL file and exception handling in many place. Thanks in advance.
We have many utl program and we are writing same exception handling code ,copy and paste .
It is possible to create new UTL exception procedure and call it.
I am not sure how to write generic UTL exception procedure and reuse the same.
I am learning oracle etl files method.
Please advise.

Very poor implementation.
a) Absolutely no need for that exception handler in there. It should be removed.
b) As it's a procedure for logging exceptions relating to UTL_FILE, it would seem error prone to be logging the errors with UTL_FILE. For example, what is it supposed to do if the exception is raised because of lack of disk space in those file locations? How is it going to write out the exception with the disk full? Also, if the exception handler is used by multiple processes, then only 1 process at a time can access the log file to write it's exceptions, so it doesn't scale well. Better logging is done by having an autonomous transaction procedure that writes log/trace messages to dedicated table(s). That also means that the logs etc. can be viewed, as appropriate, from any client using SQL (either manually or through a application written to view logs etc.), rather than requiring physical/remote access to the server o/s to go and view the contents of the file, which in itself could lock the file and prevent any process from writing further logs whilst it's being used.

Oracle 11g ASM - looking for some answers

Hello,
I reviewed a bunch of stuff about Oracle 11g ASM from various sources, but still haven't figured out some answers. Perhaps someone could help me to find the missing links please.
Q1) ASMLib seems to require partitions. ASM recognizes partitions as well as disk devices. So why not using partitions in general? At least I could use ASMLib later without having to reconfigure the drives and loosing all data. Correct?
Q2) The ASMLib driver is not installed by default, and unlike other ASM components is not available from the public yum repository for OEL 5.5. After some searching I found it available for download, but why is it not more obvious. Should it not be used anymore? http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/downloads/rhel5-084877.html
Q3) ASM will not see drives or partitions unless the device ownership is set to Oracle. When Enterprise Linux starts, it resets all block devices to the owner of root. The solution is to create a udev rules file: e.g.:
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle.rules:
KERNEL=="sda", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="dba", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="sdb", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="dba", MODE="0660"
Before using ASMLlib, I need to configure the driver, which will ask me for the default user and group who owns the partitions (/etc/init.d/oracleasm configure)
I conclude that using ASMLib will therefore not require a udev rules file, correct?
Q4) The Oracle documentation outlines that ASMLIB is an application programming interface (API) developed by Oracle to simplify the operating system–to-database interface and to exploit the capabilities of vendors' storage arrays on Linux-based systems. What does this mean, examples? Isn't this what ASM does in general, why ASMLIB?
Q5) I installed ASM and would like to re-configure it. Apparently ASM alone does not provide an interface other than sqlplus. In order use ASM with Enterprise Manager, I need to install a database or EM 11g (?) Grid control. Correct?
Thanks,
Markus

Hi,
So you got answers for 3 4 and 5
Q1) ASMLib seems to require partitions. ASM recognizes partitions as well as disk devices. So why not using partitions in general? At least I could use ASMLib later >without having to reconfigure the drives and loosing all data. Correct?Using ASMLib, you can use your understandable disk partitions names rather than creating raw devices and adding entry in /etc/raw file and changing rights on every startup, so it makes life easier. Read post of "wcoekaer" from following thread
ASMLib and Linux block devices
Q2) The ASMLib driver is not installed by default, and unlike other ASM components is not available from the public yum repository for OEL 5.5. After some >searching I found it available for download, but why is it not more obvious. Should it not be used anymore? http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/downloads/rhel5-084877.html
I am not sure about OEL 5, but i have seen it in OEL 4 and i can install this package during OEL 4 installation. But i believe you should be able to find this package in one of the Disks of OEL 5

Oracle 11g FREE download installation issues

I am installing this database on an HP Pavilion Desktop
I essentially have TWO (2) issues.
1st ISSUE
I was able to successfully run the setup.exe and my Oracle 11g is now installed.
When I go to start, programs, Oracle, Application Development, SQL Plus
it opens a windown for SQL plus, however, I am not able to do anything.
I followed the install instructions about setting up the ODBC drivers, however I still
can not get this to work. Would also like to know how to set access to this up as a desktop icon.
2nd ISSUE
Acording to the README..for the Oracle Enterprise Edition, I was only required to download
V20610-01 Part 1 of 2
V20610-01 Part 2 of 2
V20609-01
V20606-01
V19145-01
The Oracle Fusion Middleware download V18762-01 they said was OPTIONAL (O)
Because I was having problems with the install where it was coming up with errors about
not finding files, I downloaded ALL the ones from the list which were for 64bit INCLUDING Orcale Fusion Middleware.
Only then did my install work properly.
What I need to know is, on a desktop where I will be the only user,
IS THE ORACLE FUSION MIDDLEWARE REQIRED?
If NOT, and I completed the install, what will happen if I delete that folder (size is 11G)?
Please advise!

How to Install Oracle 11g on Linux for Power?

I've installed RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.4 on IBM PowerPC server.
Now I want to install Oracle 11g on it. But there are no Oracle 11g downloads for Linux for Power.
Is there any workaround so Oracle 11g can be installed on Linux on Power?

Hi,
I think you can forget it. Oracle 10g R2 was the last version supported on Linux PowerPC.

Oracle 11g - Memory used for sorting

Hi everyone,
I would like to know how I could analyze memory used for sorting in Oracle 11g. When I run the below query, it returns 1531381.
select value from v$sysstat where name like 'sorts (memory)';But when I check sort_area_size parameter from v$parameter, it returns 65536. Does it mean my database is using more memory for sorting than sort_area_size. Or is the way I interpret v$sysstat view and sort_area_size wrong? What is the best way to monitor the memory usage for sorting? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
K.H

check the valuse of pga_aggregate_target
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams157.htm
Note:
Oracle does not recommend using the SORT_AREA_SIZE parameter unless the instance is configured with the shared server option. Oracle recommends that you enable automatic sizing of SQL working areas by setting PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET instead. SORT_AREA_SIZE is retained for backward compatibility.
What is the best way to monitor the memory usage for sorting? try v$sort_usage
or v$tempseg_usage
col sid_serial for a44
col size for a22
col SID_SERIAL for a22
SELECT b.tablespace,

Oracle 8.1.7 for AIX 3.5

We are migrating to AIX 3.5 and our perl libraries require the Oracle 8.1.7 client and won't work with the newer clients.
Is 8.1.7 for AIX available for download anywhere?

Oracle's policy seems to be 'remove the download when the product becomes obsolete and unsupported'.
Oracle8i has been unsupported for some time now. If you are lucky, a conversation with your Sales Rep and with Oracle Support might provide the software.
<off>
But I must admit confusion - why upgrade pieces and expect the non-upgraded pieces to continue working without difficulty? Your mix-and-match approach is a recipie for long-term problem resolution opportunities

Oracle 9i database server for AIX 32 bit

Hello,
I tried to download from OTN Oracle 9i database.
Will there be possible to download for 32bit AIX?
I feel little depressed because such stable OS I am forced to
switch to Windows if I want to prepare myself little advance on
future Oracle architecture.
Will it be possible to get also 32bit AIX Oracle 9i?

At this time, Oracle is offering only the 64- bit and we do not
have additional information if in the future 32-bit will be
offered.

Oracle 11g INSTANT CLIENT for Mac OS 10.8 with SQLLDR and WRAP

To Oracle please upgrade INSTANT Client 11g and/or 12c (future) and include two additional utilities I always use SQLLDR and WRAP. Currently I have to open a Linux VM to wrap and use SQL*Loader. I would prefer to do it all in the terminal window.
Actually I would like to see sqlldr and wrap utilities included with all instant clients (Linux, Windows, Mac OS, etc)

It usually better to compare the checksum of the downloaded files with the mentioned checksum over the OTN.If there is any mismatch, its unlikely that download will work. Are the byte checksums matching at both the places?
As Satish mentioned, the best approach would be to download the file again.
