ODI installation out of Oracle home

Hi,
I have to install Oracle Data Integrator on a development server where EPM 11.1.2 is already installed. I encounter the following error after setting the install folder (I leave it to default: D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1):
OUI-10044: The selected Oracle Home location already contains an Oracle Home
or APPL_TOP created while running a different OS
I've done some research and found [ that post|http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/oui-10044], which didn't help much.
Basically my ODI file shiphomeproperties.xml shows an OS id 233, which is good.
The problem might be that I have two Oracle folders under C:/. One under "Program Files(x86)" that shows an OS id of 912 and another under "Program Files" which shows an OS id 233. Now I'm guessing that the Oracle installer looks into the wrong file...
Now I might have a workaround, if I change the default install folder, for example to Oracle1, I can access the next step.
My question is to know if it's ok to installl ODI in another Oracle home, is it ok to have two oracle home ?
thanks for your help.

Installation on Multiple Oracle Homes

Hi all,
I received the CD with the EAP Developer 6.0 and I want to
install it in a machine with NT 4.0 (SP 4) and Oracle Enterprise
8.0.4. The problem is: What I have to do to create a new Oracle
Home?
Thanks in advance,

Hai.......
Make one extra directory for Oracle with different home and path
where your application rests. To this directory refer the new
home, ini, tnsnames. So once the Oracle comes up it is imaterial
as to which home it is talking to. I suppose this way u can over
come your problem.

SAP installation with Shared Oracle Home

Hi Experts,
This is regarding the installation procedure.
I want to install another SAP Database Host DB instance on the same mount point with different SID.
In cse of MSSQL we create named instance and no need to install anothe MSSQL software (RDBMS).
Here is my scenario..DB host XXXX here one Oracle RDBMS running with /oracle/SSS as Home Directory
In oratab i provide SSN as new SID and in oraInst.doc the oracle inventory location is /oracle/SSS/oraInventory..
Now the SAP inst is asking me to login as oraSSN and start the installtion of Oracle..should i do that if i want to use Oracel RDBMS of SSS

Thanks Volker
Note is quite helpful.
But i guess we can install a system in this way.I did the below changes:
1. Ona existing Oracel Mount point /oracle/SID1 i m installing another SAP system.
2.Modified the oratab the enty there is New SID2:/oracle/SID1/102_64
Iin oraINst.doc Inventory Loc=/oracle/SID1/orainventory
3.Changed some parameters for ORASID2 user in Database server like home etc
4,When installation is saying Login using orasid2 adn install oracle i am saying Ok--mens oracle is already install"
In the next phase this is the error is am getting

Forms installation problem - how do I create a new default Oracle home?

I am new to Oracle so please forgive my utter ignorance. My impression of Oracle because of how an installation
has to be done is taking a nosedive. I thought Microsoft was bad with all the re-booting but the explanation that I
read in Anubhav Seth's post about installing Dev 6i before 8i and the suggestion (not a requirement) to format the
harddisk and reinstall Windows just leaves me with my jaw hanging open. I'm having a little trouble swallowing that
one.
Here's my situation... I'm running 8i at home and I am using it for the Oracle courses that I am taking at a local
university. So 8i with its SQL*Plus has been all I have needed to date. Now we have a project to do that involves forms.
So I go to the OTN page for downloads and downloaded file 6irel2nt.exe which is 264 MB in size. This file, I assume,
has forms in it -- what else I don't know because things are not explained all that well on the web site or I don't know
where to look (which implies poor organization of the web pages).
I run the 6irel2nt.exe file and end up with 11,128 new files on my computer. That's nice. I run the setup file and a step or
two into it it complains that my 'Ora81' home is already being used and that I need to install it into another Oracle Home.
Now I'm trying to find out how I create another Oracle Home. I perform a search in GOOGLE on "creat default Oracle
home" and basically get nowhere. My $50+ "Oracle 8i A Beginner's Guide" from Oracle Press mentions Oracle Home
on one page (pg. 170) but is completely useless in this case. My $184 worth of Oracle University manuals (which
are really PowerPoint slides) is useless too. My next step will be to comb through the FAQs. All this because I cannot
believe that I have to totally uninstall one product to get another to install and then reinstall the first one. That is INSANE!
If I have gone way off track please feel free to blast me but if this is true then all I can say is that the folks at Oracle need
a lesson in KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)! Computers and computer software are supposed to make our lives simpler
not complicate the holy hell out of them. I'll get off my soapbox now. Sorry about the whining.

I ended up uninstalling 8i and then I installed Dev 6i (Forms) and then I reinstalled 8i. I had some problems
installing Dev 6i because of this error "path.vrf(86): Unbound variable 'path_too_long_prompt'". Right after this error
appears I get a dialog that states, "The Oracle Installer cannot update the system path variable to %new_path%
because it is too long. Please restrict your system path to 127 characters and make sure D:\Oracle\OraWin95\bin
is included in your path."
The path D:\Oracle\OraWin95 was what I set up for this installation.
What I did to work around this problem was this...
(1) Go to Start - Accessories - System Tools - System Information.
(2) Click on the Tools menu
(3) Select System Configuration Utility
(4) Select the Autoexec.bat tab
(5) I added D:\Oracle\OraWin95\bin to my PATH variable and unchecked the checkbox next to one of the several
lines that I have that build my PATH variable. (I have several PATH lines that simply add a path to the system
variable %path%). After the installation is complete you can go back and turn back on the paths that you had disabled.
After installing 8i I did have a problem connecting to the database. I got this error:
Error: ORA-01034 Oracle not available
I believe this happened because I had forgotten to turn back on some of my PATH information that I mentioned
earlier. After checking one of my PATH variables and rebooting, this problem disappeared.
When reinstalling 8i and when the installation asks for an SID and you enter the SID you had used in the original
installation you may get a notice that says the SID already exists. I think this happens because the uninstall does not
clean up the registry totally, so I entered a different one. Later on, after the installation has been completed and you
are connecting to your database, you will be prompted to select an SID -- just make sure that you select the SID from
the latest installation.
I should've mentioned first that in preparing for this whole ridiculous exercise I created a directory under my Oracle
directory that I was going to use as the new 'Oracle home.' So I guess that's all one has to do to create a new Oracle
home -- just have another directory ready to install 'stuff' into.
All in all, this a pretty asinine exercise. Oracle really needs to fix this mess. I honestly thought Microsoft was bad but
this takes the cake. I wonder if SQL Server is this screwed up.

Multiple oracle home installation

I am going to install oracle 11g2 on hpux server. The server already has 10g on it and the plan is to run both for sometimes.
Unfortunately, IUnfortunately, I don’t have prior experience installing multi-homed oracle software and I
need help on how to supply the oracle home directory name to the installer:
Do I have to supply the installation (OUI) with the oracle home directory: i.e
Exiting oracle home: /u00/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
For the new oracle home: /u00/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_2
Is this correct?
thank you,
Lou

What I did was create two profiles. My OS is similar, but NOT the same

source o10g.profileAnd be on Oracle 10. So to install the other version I created the profile for it and then then used it to switch to that ENV for the install.

Can Oracle 11g client even be installed on the Windows 7 Home Premium 64?
Thanks!

Hi;
As mention here home OS not supported, so as mention here again if you make some googling you can find link&blog which is mention to create WM machine, install linux(you can use OEL linux which is free and can be download from e-delivery site) than you can make 11g installation on it

Multiple Oracle Homes - Oracle Listener failes to start after installation

Just in case the listener fails to start after an oracle installation, please check the oracle ports in the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora, both of which are present in the following directory:
...\oracle\<SID>\<Ver>\NETWORK\ADMIN
All installations should have separate listener ports eg. If the first installation has port 1527, the next one should be 1528 and so on..
If they do not, manually change the ports and start the listeners.
Also check SAP Note 98252. Although I didn't find it necessary (I think it applies only if you have a single listener for all oracle homes), it did give me an idea that there some config problem in the .ora files.
Also see [this thread|Oracle Listener error in Import ABAP phase?; for related details

hi

I have been using the SQL Server , i am totally blank about Oracle
i am totally confused with this user, and hoststring
i logged in to the enterprise manager using System and manager password
But i cannot connect to any database using SQL Server
i am not remembering any user name or password i have given during installation.
the only thing i remember is
Global databasename = (globedb) i have given
For SID = globedb the same name i have given
for sys ,i have given sysdb as password
and for system i have given systemdb as password
with this can i do anything
when expand the schemas ,i can see the XDB,SCOTT and SYS . how can i login to this .
if i want to login to the scott
what would be the username,password,and hoststring. since i haven't set any password and username ,there would be some default username ,password, and hoststring.
if any one can help me please help me
thanks regards

Oracle Universal Installer - Oracle Home????

Hi,
I have installed Oracle XE and I love it. I wish I could have developed with it 3 years ago than have to rely upon a full distribution.
It is also going to make my development team run more efficiently and take away a licensing headache.
I have one question which I could really use an Oracle answer. My app distributes with oracle workflow (although I do not need the middle tier, only the server tier PL \ SQL code and Java etc). I want to use the universal installer to install Oracle Workflow, in theory this should work because the database is a fully featured version as far as source goes. I understand that the middle tier will not work however.
Anyhow, in the Oracle Universal installer, I can not make it work as I do not know what to put in for Oracle Home. Could you advise me how I can use universal installer and get it to detect my oracle home (whatever that may be) for the purpose of installation of Oracle Workflow?
Many Thanks

You cant, really - you would have to read it from the registry maybe.
All other oracle products use the oraInventory to store details about all Oracle products installed. XE doesnt use that.
So unless you can read a value from the registry and stick that into the OUI for workflow you might get a bit stuck
Or use a reponse file with the OUI and hardcode the place where XE lives, making that a standard within your organisation

Multiple oracle homes installation

i have installed oracle 9i database on single sever where 8i is residing using multiple oracle homes.After installation some folders and files related to 9i created in 8i home directory(eg:9i admin related folder create in 8i admin folder).but i dont want to create like that.is there any way to create all files related to 9i should reside on that 9i home directory only?

You didn't specified the OS.
Assume that your OS is Unix-like (Solaris, Linux) and your user is oracle.
The answer is very simple. Use different enviroments.
create in home directory (oracle user) two files:
1. .ora_8i
2. .ora_9i
All enviroment variables related for 8i database (ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc.) are defined in .ora _8i and all variables for 9i are defined in .ora_9i.
Now, you want working with 8i so you need apply 8i enviroment. To do that simply execute following from shell ". ~/.ora_8i". Now you decided working with 9i so simply execute the ". ~/.ora_9i" from shell.
For installation use the same way. So before you run ./runInstaller load the apropriate enviroment.

If you source the application env file APPS<CONTEXT_NAME>.env file under $APPL_TOP directory then this will set ORACLE_HOME to 10.1.2

Installation of Workflow-2.6.3 failing on 10gR2 Oracle Home

Hi
I have installed Oracle 10g R2 on windows 2000. When I am trying to install Workflow server 2.6.3 on this existing Oracle Home, I am getting the error message as the selected Oracle Home is not a 10G Oracle Home.
Can anybody suggest me can we use Oracle Workflow Server 2.6.3 on 10.2. Regards
Rom

Hi,
For 10gR2, you should install Workflow 2.6.4 which ships on the companion CD to the 10g database.

Hi All,
I am facing the same issue again after installed the oracle linux 4.5.
My Source database is 9i it is running in oracle linux 4.4, So i couldn't register my oracle home in the ORACLE Linux 4.5.I have to downgrade my Oracle linux from 4.5 to 4.4.
I sourced the below steps from google,
Hello everybody! I have a problem with my server and I want to check that it isn't a software problem. So, firstly I want to downgrade from 4.5b6 to 4.4. Just to point out, I have a Plus license. So, to do the downgrade, Do I just have to change the following files? : bzimage
bzroot Nothing else? Thank you so much.
It is that easy.
You can rename the existing two files so you can put them back into place as bzroot and bzimage if the experiment does not result in an improvement. I do that on my system. bzroot would become bzroot.456 and bzimage woud be re-named as bzimage.456
As an alternative, you could add the 4.4.2 files as bzroot.442 and bzimage.442 and then add three lines to your syslinux.cfg file. They would result in additional menu choices when you next boot to allow you to choose to boot on either the older or the current version.
A copy of my syslinux.cfg file is below. You can see I can elect to boot on on almost any of the recent releases, as I've kept re-named copies of each release in turn on my flash drive.
(All the lines I added are in "blue", the three lines for 4.4.2 you would need to add are in "bold blue.". It would require you to put the 4.4.2 files in place renamed as bzroot.442 and bzimage.442)
The only thing you need to be aware of if you re-name the files as I've done is the names must be legal names under DOS on a FAT file-system. Therefore, the names must be at most 8 characters long with a three character "extension"
bzimage.456 is legal, bzimage.45b6 is not. (because it has a 4 character extension)

Oracle reading binary files from other oracle home.

Hi all,
I have two oracle db installed on the same server but on different oracle home.
It seems to me that the second oracle is reading the binaries from the other installation.
I can start this database and the sap instance and it starts on the correct oracle home but I see that it is reading files on the first oracle home.
for example, it saves the spfile under the first oracle_home\database directory. I started it using pfile=<the_correct_ora-home>\database\initSID.ora and set on this init.ora file the correct path for spfile.
But even after this if i change any parameter, it stills change the spfile on the wrong <oracle_home>\database.
Is there a way to fix this ? I mean to make the second oracle to see files under its own oracle home ?
It is oracle 11g under windows 2008.
Remember that all the environment variables is pointing to the correct oracle home and I can start SAP and Oracle as well on this oracle_home.
Thanks in advance,
Joao.

Hi Orkun,
No, we don't have anything else installed yet.
Please see what I found out:
Checking those binary errors I found out that the oracle service
OracleServiceDPC (the second instance on this server) is being started from the wrong oracle_home path. Please
see the path to the executables on that service properties:
g:\oracle\dnc\11202\bin\ORACLE.EXE DPC
It is pointing to the other oracle home DNC but starting instance DPC. How can I change that ?
Please see that the oracle home, the listener, etc is correct pointing
to oracle home G:\oracle\DPC\11202.
I would like to disable this service and create the correct one.
Is that possible ?
thanks and regards,
Joao

How to select Oracle Home

Probably an embarrasingly simple question but nevertheless it has me stuck. I just installed Oracle 11gR1 on a windows server 2008 box and now have both Oracle 10gR2 and Oracle 11gR1 installed. The Oracle Home Selector is no longer available from the start menu and the installation guide suggests using the Universal Installer to choose between homes. I am unable to figure out how to do this. Please guide me. Thanks.

The HomeSelector has now been folded into OUI. The following steps would help in accomplishing this task:
Bring up the Oracle 10g Installer and Click on Installed Products. Then go to the Environment tab.
Here you can find the HomeSelector which uses the OUI inventory to list the homes. The old Home Selector used the registry entries to look at the installed homes. But in Oracle 10g the registry entries use the KEY_ format.
Hence the old Home Selector will not be able to see Oracle 10g homes in the list. If you want to switch between 8i, 9i and 10g Homes, use the Home Selector which is available inside the 10g installer.
