OBIA Database creation question

Hi,
I am installing BI Apps 7.9.6.3 on Linux.
I have the following question.
I know that, i have to create a database instance for
•DAC Repository
•Informatica Domain
•Informatica Repository
•Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse
As per your experience please share if creating one db to hold all the above four is good or should i create a separate database for "Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse" ?.
Thanks
Thanks

There is no set rule...and you dont need separate "instances" for each..just schemas. the DAC/INFA metadata is fairly small so you can put them together if you want but OBAW is usually created in its own separate instance since the maintenance may be different. It really is a question for your DBA team. Suppose you need higher availability for certain instances, or if there is maintenance windows where you need the OBAW DB separate from INFA..or if you are using the INFA rep for populating other systems, you may not want to group it with OBAW. These are some things to consider.
Pls mark helpful or correct

Database creation problems and parition consolidation

This is my first time on here so please look past my green-ness. =)
I Installed Oracle 8.1.7 successfully and opted to setup the database creation later so I could put the database on another partition. Well, I tried once to create the database on the partition I installed oracle onto (/oracle) but I had insufficient space, It said I needed 1.3 gigs. My "/database" partition is only a 1 gig parition (and /oracle is 2 gigs). My plan was of course, to seperate them.
Ok, I didn't see an option to create the db on another partition so I resigned to using /oracle. My question now is, is the 960 megs on /oracle enough to create the database? I used the custom setup so I could see how everything was broken down and I noticed that my rollback segment is 500 megs. Is this necessary? Can I get by with 100 megs and be fine? Also, if I did do this, I'd have approximately 100 megs free for data, this is enough I hope??
Lastly, I need to combine the partitions somehow without effecting /. The hard drive is broken down into:
gigs
5.5 /
2.0 /oracle
1.0 /database
Does anyone have any ideas? In windows, I used partiton magic but I don't know if there is a linux version.
One more thought (last one for real =), it had 50 megs allocated for it's shared memory pool. I'm assuming this will take away from the 128megs I have thus effectively making only 78 available to X, will this cause any noticeable problems other than a bit of slowdown? I have most if not all of my virtual memory free at all times. I know I should get more ram, but you know how the budget thing goes...
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Rob

Try running the catalog and catproc sql scripts.
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
$ svrmgrl
connect internal
@catalog
@catproc
That will set up all of the internal views and packages that
oracle needs to do DDL.

Error in sql database creation

how to solve the problem "create database permission is denied in database "master"" in sql database creation

>>how to solve the problem "create database permission is denied in database "master"" in sql database creation
Getting the permissions required to create database is the solution:)
http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/42299/create-database-permission-denied-in-database-master
from the link
You need to execute this T-SQL command using an account that does have administrative rights, such as sa:
USE master;
EXECUTE sp_addsrvrolemember @loginame = N'YourAppUserLogin', @rolename = N'dbcreator';
Replace YourAppUserLogin with
the login the application user uses to connect to the database.

Generate script from SQL for database creation

Hi,
as we have DBMS_METADATA to get scripts for constraints , is there any way by which we can get scripts used for database creation from existing databases
Thanks
kedar

Thanks for the ODB tool. I'm trying to connect with SYS but ODB tool replied :
Unable to make connection : connection to sys should be sysdba or sysoper
How do I tell it to connect "as sysdba" ? I tried putting that in "User Name" field but it didn't work.
Also, when I create a new connection and try to save it, it will prompt me to :
Setup user preferences for this instance
and then popped up the window for "Set Options and Preferences"
My question is, after I saved this connection, how do I go back into this window to edit it ? I don't see any button for it.
Thanks again

Problems from oracle designer to database creation

i am getting the following problem when creating a database using oracle designer:
"has no role cannot regenerate"
this is specific to the primary keys of each table
has anyone come across this before? any ideas guys?
Andy

I think this belongs in another forum, but could you answer this question: Are you trying to generate database creation scripts by select Create Oracle Database in the DB Admin tab of the Design Editor?
Kind regards,

Manual Database Creation on win 2000

Oracle 9i(release 1) database server is installed on win2000 server.
i want complete detail steps to create database manually ON WIN 2000 SERVER.
i tried to create database manually but when i runs the
database creation script it generates an error 'INSTANCE TERMINATED : DISCONNECTION FORCED'
I AM STUDENT OF FUNDAMENTAL 1 COURSE.
rohit

It is good to know the steps to create a database manually. If you run the dbca and choose only to create the scripts you realize the steps. Apart from that if you are studying for Fundamentals I exam and you want to it because you think that content is going to appear. Forget it. In that exam there are not questions related to steps to create a database manually and less in windows.
To learn to create a database in Unix makes sense really!

Database creation best practices.

Hi,
We are planning to setup new database, oracle-10G on Sun and AIX. It is a datawarehose environment.
Can anyone please share me the documents which speaks about best practices to be followed during database creation/setup. I googled and got some douments but not satisfied with them, so thought of posting this query.
Regards,
Yoganath.

YOGANATH wrote:
Anand,
Thanks for your quick response. I went thru the link, but it seems to be a brief one. I need a sort of crisp/summary document for my presentation, which speaks about:
1. Initial parameter settings for an datawarehouse to start with, like block_size, db_file_multiblock_read_count, parallel server etc...
2. Memory parameters, SGA, PGA (say for an sever with 10GB RAM).
3. How to split tablespaces, like Large, small.
If someone has a just a crisp/outline document which speaks about the above mentioned points, it will be grateful.
Regards,
YoganathYou could fire up dbca, select the 'data warehouse' template, walk through the steps, and at the end do not select 'create a database' but simply select 'create scripts', then take a look at the results, especially the initialization file. Since you chose a template instead of 'custom database' you won't get a CREATE DATABASE script, but you should still get some stuff genned that will answer a lot of the questions you pose.
You could even go so far as to let dbca create the database. Nothing commits you to actually using that DB. Just examine it to see what you got, then delete it.

While Installation of 11g database creation time error ORA-28056: Writing audit records to Windows Event Log failed Error

Now what was the problem, I am able to connect and work through sqlplus,
But I didnt got the link of EM and when try to create a new connection in sql developer it is giving error ( Status : failure - Test Failed the Network Adapter could not establish the connection )
Thanks & Regards
Creation of the dbcontrol requires a connection via the listener. When configuring the dbcontrol as part of database creation, it appears that the dbcontrol creation step runs before the dynamic registration of the databsase with the listener is complete. Now that the database itself is completed and enough time (really, just a minute or two) has passed to allow the instance to register, use dbca or emca to create the dbcontrol.
Are you able to get a sqlplus connection via the listener (sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl)? That needs to be the first order of business.

end of file communication channel.
plz help me what i would do,,

Hi,
seems that your oracle database went down. just check if oracle is running or not by using ps command.
if its not running go to $ prompt and start the database either using sys or internal user i.e
$svrmgrl
connect internal
$startup or startup force
let me know the result.

I have been struggling in installing the 9i in my laptop.
Here is my setup,

Database: Oracle 9i 9.2.0.1.0
When it automatically comes to "Database Configuration Assistant", there are 4 steps.
Copying Database files
Initializing Database
Creating and starting Oracle Instance
Completing database creation
The 1st 3 steps has been completed and the installation just hangs at the last step when the completion rate is 88%.
Anyone got problem like this ?
Here are the details I have so far for the DBCA during installation process,
Listener Control complete.
Listener start failed. Listener may already be running.
Listener configuration complete.
Default local naming configuration complete.
Oracle Net Services configuration successful. The exit code is 0
Since I am completely new to installing DB, please help me to get rid of this frustration.
Thanks !

Error in installing Database Control with Database Creation Assistant

I'm trying to install the Database Control on Win2003 with the Database Creation Assistant. I get the following error. D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\ECOMDB\pfile\init.ora (The system cannot find the path specified).
Our init.ora file is not in that path and our file is named initECOMDB.ora. How do I tell DBCA the correct path and file name to use?
By the way I'm a unix guy and this is the first time I've done Oracle on Windows. The database had been created by someone else and the files are sort of slung all over the place.
Replies appreciated.

Open initECOMDB.ora, it may be calling D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\ECOMDB\pfile\init.ora which does not exist. Change it to the correct directory or remove it if all the required parameters are already in initECOMDB.ora. The line to look for is ifile
BTW - if your database has already been created, you can create its database control from the command line:
emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
