Oracle 10G - can't start TNSListener

The TNSListener no longer automatically starts on my 10g Database. It has been set up to work automatically, and was fine until recently. It is still listed as being an automatic service, but even when started manually it still fails. The error message I get is "Could not start XXXXX TNSListener service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly." Any suggestions as to how I go about fixing this will be greatly appreciated

Did anyone change anything in the listener.ora? Check to see if there are any extra/missing spaces/parenthesis and check the format.

Oracle 10g won't start

Every time when I needed to reboot the server, Oracle 10g wouldn't start itself. 10g DB should start itself automatically, shouldn't it? If so, how can I fix this problem?

You mean oracle alert.log? if so, here's some content from last startup ---

Hi Katheri,
Run sqlplus available under 10G oracle home. Your env is set to forms 6i and its using sql 8i version.
Make sure that your database has been started. Refer the link below to administer database on windows.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13831_01/admin.htm
To configure forms6i refer,

2. I installed new window, reconfig my Oracle 10g Database.
3 But i have lost all utilites/program listing of 10g, appeared in Start Menu.
Plz, tell me the way how we can reconfig this thing in our window.
Thanks.

<The above Question was posted on Database Installation Forum two-3days ago, I thing no can answer this>

If you reinstalled the oracle product this is enough to have your menu 'rebuilt'. It actually doesn't rebuilds the menu, it rather creates new entries.
I suggest you to take a look at the installation forum where you posted this same thread. At the installation forum I initially understood you didn't reinstall the Oracle Home, but you 'reconfigured your database'.

Oracle 10g can be Installed on Windows 7 64 bit os

Hi
Is it possible to install oracle 10g/11g on windows 7 OS /windows vista 64 bit os
Regards
Pavan Kumar

Oracle 11g works like a champ on Win7. During the install, when you get that error regarding Windows Vista 6.1, you will see a small check box next to the error message. Simply check the box next to the error. It will designate the error as "User Verified". Then you can continue your install.
Be warned, this is not a certified configuration. Soooo....
Problem solved.

How to stop Oracle 10g DB automatically start up when Windows boots/reboots

With Oracle 9i, I could set Oracle DB manually start so it would not start when Windows OS was booted/rebooted. This was done through setting Control Panel -> Admin tools -> Services -> Oracle9iMyDB's Startup type to "Manual".
Now I have 10g installed, same setting does not prevent 10g DB start up at Windows boots.
I have Windows 2000 now for 10g and past for 9i.
Could anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
DC

Do you have a registry entry that looks like
ORA_<SID>_AUTOSTART that is set to the value 'TRUE'?

Oracle 9i can't start

We are using oracle 9i db server. when starting any database tools like enterprise manager,sqlplusw it gives the error message like this:
ORA -12638 Credential retrival failed
Please help me...

by setting the value as NONE the following error occured:
ORA - 01034 : ORACLE NOT AVAILABLE
ORA - Shared memory realm does not exist.
Additional info:
we have 2 servers. one is file server and other is db server. db server is configured as a mirror of file server. file server is a domain controller. recently our file server got crashed and we reconfigured it them this problem arises.(e.g.) to login to scott db we use
connect [email protected]

Oracle 9i can't start install progress

I download oracle 9i install disk and extract to my hard disk E:(NTFS Partition, 46GB). I click setup.exe, after wait 6 seconds, no response.
My computer:
Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack3,
CPU P4 2.4GB, Seagate Hard Disk ST380021A, 256M RAM
three Partition:
C: is NTFS, 10GB, D: is FAT32, E:NTFS,46GB

this is BUG. if you copy install files to a bigger partition (bigger than 24GB), this problem appears.
but when copy to another smaller partition, no any problem

Oracle 10g - can I use a variable to identifywhat user's tablesto access?

I have the following code in a trigger (PL/Sql block) of a form:
select fieldname into myvar from user1.sometable;
is there a way to use a variable instead of hard coding 'user1'? And on the same topic, could this variable be declared globally?
Thanks in advance,
Darren

Hi again!
i've forgot something!
You are able to switch to another schema. If you are another user than user1, try:
alter session set current_schema = user1;after this there is no need to use synonyms or tableowners in front of the tablename in your sql-statements.
May you use this in a when-new-form-instance trigger in your first form like:
forms_ddl ( 'alter session set current_schema = ' || :parameter.your_schema );Regards

Migrate tables from Ms SQL Server 20005 to Oracle 10g

Hi all,
I am trying to migrate 10 table from Ms SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g. I started creating a SSIS package to transfer them but it always fail when it tries to create the tables.
Questions:
- Is there any other way to import Ms SQL Server 2005 tables to Oracle
- also I need to create a scirp that will update these tables periodically
any ideas?
Thanks

YingKuan is right. jsut to expound a little further. This will also allow you to have have scripts which you can run again and again or even schedule them regularly too.

Activate 3Gb option in Windows Database Oracle 10g

Hi
We are facing ORA 4030 - Oracle Out of memory issues after upgrade to Oracle 10.2.0.4 (32 Bit Machine).
We want to activate the 3GB option in Windows by adding /3GB at the end of boot.ini file.
We will make sure to take the backup of boot.ini file.
But
One of the prerequisite is
An additional prerequisite for using 3GB of address space is a corresponding indicator in the header of the executable. You use this indicator to signal to NT that the application (ORACLE.EXE) can work with
3GB of address space. If this indicator is not set, this means that only 2GB is available to the application, even though you are using the 3GB option and the NT Enterprise Edition.
1. How can we put the corresponding indicator in the header of the executable?
2. And in which Executable?
Much appreciate the response..
Regards

Hello Rajesh,
you don't havt to changa any executable.
You just have to add the entries /PAE /3GB to your boot.ini.
The user account under which Oracle Database runs (SAPSERVICESID), must have the "Lock memory pages" Windows 2000 and Windows XP privilege.
USE_INDIRECT_DATA_BUFFERS=TRUE must be present in the initialization parameter file for the database instance that will use VLM support. If this parameter is not set, then Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) or later behaves in exactly the same way as previous releases.
Initialization parameters DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS and DB_BLOCK_SIZE must be set to values you have chosen for Oracle Database.
Dynamic SGA and multiple block size are not supported with VLM. When VLM is enabled, the following new buffer cache parameters are not supported:
   DB_CACHE_SIZE
   DB_2K_CACHE_SIZE
   DB_4K_CACHE_SIZE
   DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE
   DB_16K_CACHE_SIZE
   DB_32K_CACHE_SIZE
To select the block size for the instance, use the initialization parameter DB_BLOCK_SIZE. The buffer cache size is set by the initialization parameter DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS.
Registry parameter AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY must be created and set in the appropriate key for your Oracle home. This parameter is specified in bytes and has a default value of 1 GB. AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY tells Oracle Database how much of its 3 GB address space to reserve for mapping in database buffers.
This memory comes from the 3 GB virtual address space in Oracle Database, so its value must be less than 3 GB. Setting this parameter to a large value has the effect of using more of the address space for buffers and using less AWE memory for buffers. However, since accessing AWE buffers is somewhat slower than accessing virtual address space buffers, Oracle recommends that you tune these parameters to be as large as possible without adversely limiting database operations.
In general, the higher AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY is set, the fewer connections and memory allocations will be possible for Oracle Database. The lower AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY is set, the lower the performance.
Once this parameter is set, Oracle Database can be started and will function exactly the same as before except that more database buffers are available to the instance. In addition, disk I/O may be reduced because more Oracle Database data blocks can be cached in the System Global Area (SGA).

What is maximum amount of memory that oracle db can utilize ?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
What is maximum number of memory that oracle database can utilize for each of its memory structure like sga, caches....
Thanks

ps, the following may help too
VLM) Configurations
Oracle Database for Windows supports Very Large Memory (VLM) configurations in Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows XP, which allows Oracle Database to access more than the 4 gigabyte (GB) of RAM traditionally available to Windows applications.
Note:
This feature is available on Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows XP only with Intel Pentium II and above processors.
Specifically, Oracle Database uses Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) built into Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows XP to access more than 4 GB of RAM.
The requirements for taking advantage of this support are:
1. The computer on which Oracle Database is installed must have more than 4 GB of memory.
2. The operating system must be configured to take advantage of Physical Address Extensions (PAE) by adding the /PAE switch in boot.ini. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q268363 for instructions on modifying boot.ini to enable PAE.
3. It is advisable (though not necessary) to enable 4GT support by adding the /3GB parameter in boot.ini. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q171793 for additional requirements and instructions on modifying boot.ini to enable 4GT.
4. The user account under which Oracle Database runs (typically the LocalSystem account), must have the "Lock memory pages" Windows 2000 and Windows XP privilege.
5. USE_INDIRECT_DATA_BUFFERS=TRUE must be present in the initialization parameter file for the database instance that will use VLM support. If this parameter is not set, then Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) or later behaves in exactly the same way as previous releases.
6. Initialization parameters DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS and DB_BLOCK_SIZE must be set to values you have chosen for Oracle Database.
Note:
The total number of bytes of database buffers (that is, DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS multiplied by DB_BLOCK_SIZE) is no longer limited to 3 GB.
Dynamic SGA and multiple block size are not supported with VLM. When VLM is enabled, the following new buffer cache parameters are not supported:
o DB_CACHE_SIZE
o DB_2K_CACHE_SIZE
o DB_4K_CACHE_SIZE
o DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE
o DB_16K_CACHE_SIZE
o DB_32K_CACHE_SIZE
To select the block size for the instance, use the initialization parameter DB_BLOCK_SIZE. The buffer cache size is set by the initialization parameter DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS.
7. Registry parameter AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY must be created and set in the appropriate key for your Oracle home. This parameter is specified in bytes and has a default value of 1 GB. AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY tells Oracle Database how much of its 3 GB address space to reserve for mapping in database buffers.
This memory comes from the 3 GB virtual address space in Oracle Database, so its value must be less than 3 GB. Setting this parameter to a large value has the effect of using more of the address space for buffers and using less AWE memory for buffers. However, since accessing AWE buffers is somewhat slower than accessing virtual address space buffers, Oracle recommends that you tune these parameters to be as large as possible without adversely limiting database operations.
In general, the higher AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY is set, the fewer connections and memory allocations will be possible for Oracle Database. The lower AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY is set, the lower the performance.
8. Once this parameter is set, Oracle Database can be started and will function exactly the same as before except that more database buffers are available to the instance. In addition, disk I/O may be reduced because more Oracle Database data blocks can be cached in the System Global Area (SGA).
Note:
Registry parameter VLM_BUFFER_MEMORY, which enabled VLM configurations in earlier releases, is not supported in Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) or later.
VLM Instance Tuning
VLM configurations improve database performance by caching more database buffers in memory. This reduces disk I/O compared to configurations without VLM. VLM support in Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) or later has been re-written to integrate very closely with Windows. Compared to Oracle8i release 2 (8.1.6), VLM users should see better performance with the newer implementation.
Tuning for VLM is no different than tuning for configurations without VLM. It is an iterative task that begins by selecting appropriate DB_BLOCK_SIZE and DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS initialization parameters for the application being supported.
Note:
Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) or later VLM configurations do not support multiple database block sizes.
AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY, a new registry parameter specific to VLM, tells Oracle Database how much of its address space to reserve for mapping in database buffers. It defaults to a value of 1 GB, which should be suitable for most installations. If DB_BLOCK_SIZE is large, however, the default AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY value of 1 GB may not be sufficient to start the database.
Increasing the value of AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY will improve performance, but it will also limit the amount of memory available for other Oracle Database threads (like foreground threads). Clients may see "out of memory" errors if this value is set too large. As a general guideline, increase the AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY registry value by 20 percent.
For example, if DB_BLOCK_SIZE is set to 8 KB, AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY is set to 1 GB, and the number of LRU latches is set to 32 (16 processor computer), then database startup fails with out of memory errors 27102 and 34. Increasing the value of AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY to 1.2 GB fixes the problem.
Having a large cache in a VLM configuration may also slow down database writer (DBWR) threads. Having more DBWR threads will distribute work required to identify and write buffers to disk and will distribute I/O loads among threads. Initialization parameter DB_WRITER_PROCESSES enables you to configure multiple database writer threads.
A large cache can also introduce contention on the LRU (least recently used) latch. On symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) systems, Oracle Database sets the number of LRU latches to a value equal to one half the number of processors on the system. You can reduce contention on such configurations by increasing the number of LRU latches to twice (or four times) the number of processors on the system.

Windows 4 GB RAM Tuning (4GT)
The following Windows operating systems include a feature called 4 GB RAM Tuning (4GT):
· Windows Server 2003
· Windows 2000 Advanced Server
· Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
This feature allows memory-intensive applications running on Oracle Database Enterprise Edition to access up to 3 GB of memory, as opposed to the standard 2 GB in previous operating system versions. 4GT provides a tremendous benefit: 50 percent more memory is available for database use, increasing SGA sizes or connection counts.
Large User Populations
Several features allow Oracle Database to support an increasingly large number of database connections on Windows:
· Oracle Database Shared Server Process, which limits the number of threads needed in the Oracle Database process, supports over 10,000 simultaneous connections to a single database instance.
· Oracle Net multiplexing and connection pooling features allow a large configuration to connect more users to a single database instance.
· Oracle Real Application Clusters raises connection counts dramatically by allowing multiple server computers to access the same database files, increasing the number of user connections by tens of thousands, as well as increasing throughput.

Oel updates and oracle 10g

Hi
Can i get updates for oel4/5 ?(using for testing at home)
can i install oracle 10g oel 5 ?
thanks

The ability to get updates for OEL 4 or 5 is a paid service, for which you need to have a subscription to oracle's repository. So, assuming you don't want to explicitly buy a subscription, you can only download the latest version of both OEL 4 and 5, and use it.
The oracle 10g database (that's also a assumption, that you mean the database with 'oracle 10g') can be installed on OEL5, but because the 10.2.0.1 version was released before OEL5 (actually RHEL5) existed, the installer does not see the linux version as a valid one. This can be bypassed using two popular methods: use the -ignoresysprereqs commandline option with runInstaller, or by copying over the contents of /etc/redhat-release. Also, you need to extra packages (libXp and compat-libstdc++-33). But I assume there are a lot of installation examples to be found on the internet.
