Oracle 11g on Windows XP

Hello All,
I recently downloaded a copy of Oracle 11g for windows and installed it on my windows xp laptop.
I was able to install it without issues but I am unable to create a new database!
A little digging around revealed that there are very less no. of configurable parameters in 11g.
And that we don't have sga_max_size/sga_target anymore! Instead we have memory_target.
But inspite of ensuring all these changes, I keep running to the "end of file on communication channel" error.
Am I missing something here? I am using more-or-less the same approach to creating a database manually, that I have used for 9iR2; 10gR2 .
Any advise will be appreciated.
-Anand

Hello All,
I tried BOTH dbca as well as Manual Create database statement.
I finally managed to locate the alert log file and found a bunch of ORA-7445 Core Dump errors.
Note: With oracle 11g the background_dump_dest parameter is ignored and the alert log location is defined by the DIAGNOSTIC_DEST parameter.
And it points to:
<ORACLE_BASE>\diag\rdbms\<SID>\<SID>\trace
Wed Jul 09 17:03:22 2008

Istalling oracle 11g on windows vista

Hi,
i need to install oracle 11g on windows vista, unfortunately i cannot able do to that, becase after double cliking on the setup a messege like this one came out:
OUI-10151: There was an error while loading library.generalQueries. Stop installation of all products, Stop installation on this component.
I've found on internet some work around of this problem BUT only on linux machine, no one as telling me some way to fix my problem on windows vista.
I also tried using oui to deinstall any previews installed version but oiu tell me that there's not any installation of oracle.
any suggest is really appreciate
regards
Francesco

By 11g I am assuming you mean 11.1.0.6 (11gR1). Pl post which Vista version you are using - 11gR1 is certified to be installed only on Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions.

Hello All,
kindly note that i am new to oracle and having a issue that i cant seem to figure out and hoping a experienced person can answer this.
i download oracle 11g for windows 32 bit on my laptop, go through the installation and use the option to crate a starter database.

now what happens it works fine for a day or some times two and when i reboot the machine and go back and try to open the EM its gives me the error cant find the URL. i have tried it few times and it happens every time. i don't know what i am doing it wrong but for some reason the EM manager doesn't work . i can still log on the database using the sqlplus.
must thing must get changed ( may be the IP address or env some how). i really appreciate if some one can guide me in the right path.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response,
well the laptop i am using is a work computer , i installed oracle so i can practice on it.. i Think the IP changes after a while. is that the reason?.. how can i remedy it do my EM works all the time?
Please advice.

About memory issue during installing Oracle 11g on Windows Server 2003

Hi, all
When I installed Oracle 11g on Windows Server 2003 which the server is a virtual server, Oracle only can detect 2G memory.
But there are 4G memory with my server.
I want to know if the Oracle 11g's new feature or the virtual server lead the issue.
Also , I want to get your help to resolve the issue, thanks a lot.

Let me get this straight:
You have created some virtual machine using someone's unknown VM software.
You have installed Windows Server 2003 (perhaps, but not confirmed 32-bit) to that VM.
You have allocated 4GB of memory to the VM (we guess ... not sure I'm ready to take your word on this)
You are attempting to install Oracle 11g (presumably 11gR1 32 bit for Windows) in the VM
And the Oracle (installer?) seems to be reporting that you only have 2GB RAM.
Since I personally have installed Oracle 11g 32bit for Windows on Windows 2003 server with 4GB RAM and had no issues, I would be investigating the (unknown) VM environment.

You have three options
1. Wait for this future Oracle release
2. Downgrade your OS to a supported version.
3. Install VM software (like Virtualbox), create a VM, install a supported OS in the VM, then install 11gR2 in the VM - see my blog (linked in my profile) for a detailed example

Oracle 11g on Windows XP - TCP with SSL

Hello,
have successfully set-up Oracle 11g on a Windows XP machine which am using as a small server in a trial/test environment.
As this machine is running in my local environment without external connections the Windows Firewall is DEactivated.
A java test program written to connect to the server using TCP / via a plain text connection using the oracle thin JDBC driver is working fine.
Now wanted to set-up the server so it would accept SSL connections (ultimately with peer Authentication, but without server or client authentication as a start configuration).
Have used Oracle Net Manager to configure the server as follows:
(Note: have used red ink to hightlight settings I am unclear if they are needed)

Hi,
would now need to trace and understand why the handshake is failing.
As you can see from the above posted config files and the trace_level settings tracing should already be turned on on my system - correct? So where would I find the output messages telling me in more detail why the handshake is failing?
The error I am getting when trying to connect from a Java client program using the JDBC thin driver is:

Oracle 11g R2 Windows Installation issue

Hey everybody,
i was trying to install Oracle 11g R2 on a Windows Server 2008 64-bit machine. During the installation i am getting an error message multiple times (about 20 times) where it says it cannot find certain files like C:\app\ora11g\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oc4j\j2ee\oc4j_applications\WFMLRSVCApp.ear and some other files too. If i click move on in the dialog box each time an error occurs the installation will succeed and finish successfully.
What am I doing wrong, do I have to change anything before installation starts?
I am using the correct 64-bit installation files i downloaded from the Oracle homepage...

Hi Hans,
know I found where it contains the information about the downloads. It only shows up when you click on the "See All", but it won´t show up if you directly download via the Disk 1 or Disk 2 link on the download page. Good point. I never would have believed noobs would stop at that page and not be curious about what other stuff might be available under 'See All'. Stuff like the 'De-install' package.
Since you didn't do it, I posted a comment/suggestion in the Download forum to put an additional note on the top 11gR2 download page.
What brings up more confusion is when you click on the "See All" button next to the download for the 32-bit Version of 11g R2 for Windows an error comes up. Worked for me.
You reported your error ... where?
So I think Oracle needs to improve its homepage a lot...If you have ideas there is a forum "Forum Home » Technology Network Community » Community Feedback and Suggestions" in which you you are welcome to submit comments.

Performance problems on a Oracle 11G with Windows 2008 64bits.

Hi everyone,
I have noticed that our db is going low and low every week. My server has 16GB RAM and 10GB are dedicated to the Oracle database, this is a 11.2.0.1 with Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64bits. I like to know acording to the nexts values what you guys recommend to adjust in the init.ora:
orcl.__db_cache_size=5402263552
orcl.__java_pool_size=33554432
orcl.__large_pool_size=33554432
orcl.__pga_aggregate_target=3657433088
orcl.__sga_target=6878658560
orcl.__shared_io_pool_size=0
orcl.__shared_pool_size=1308622848
orcl.__streams_pool_size=33554432
*.memory_target=10511974400
*.open_cursors=5000
*.optimizer_mode='RULE'
*.processes=300
Acording to the memory target on how values can be increased the processes, pga_agregate_target, etc.
Also we have problems related to the bug Bug 9593134 that “Connections to Oracle 11g are slow and can take anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes.” there is a fix on linux by removing the dns names on it but anyone have experience on windows platforms?
Thanks for all and sorry for my english.
Regards.
Arturo.

Regarding the long connection times, have you tried using network packet capture software (such as Wireshark) to determine what the client computer is doing when a connection attempt is initiated?
The Oracle Database time model statistics, along with the system wide wait events may help you diagnose the non-connection related performance issues (you should not just look at the statistics, but instead capture the current values, wait a period of time, capture the statistics again, and compare the changes in the statistic values). A statspack report might also help you - but a 10046 trace at level 8 or 12 is more appropriate if you are able to identify a couple of sessions that experience performance problems.
I do not suggest just blindly modifying parameters, although I am curious to know:
* Why the session level parameter OPEN_CURSORS is set to 5000 - do you expect a single session to hold open 5,000 cursors?
* Why are you using the deprecated RULE based optimizer?
* Why is the MEMORY_TARGET parameter used when the SGA_TARGET and PGA_AGGREGATE target are specified?

Trying to modify the database (using Database Configuration Assistant) results in the error:
'there is an error in creating the following process: c:\apps\oracle\product\11.1.0\db\bin\sqlplus.exe -S /NOLOG the error is: Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus Messaging file sp1<lang>.msb not found SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your oracle software directory'
If there are forums you would recommend to a completely new oracle sysadmin please let me know.
Many thanks.

I recommend you read the '2 Days DBA' manual in order to get a basic understanding. It may be necessary to uninstall the current installation(s), especially the last error message looks like a corrupted environment.

Upgrade from Oracle 8i in Win98 to Oracle 11g in Window Vista

Hi,
I have an existing system that runs in Window98 using Oracle 8i as database. We are planning to convert the system from using Oracle 8i to 11g, and this new converted system will be running in Window Vista.
What I have in mind is doing export and import from Oracle 8i to 11g, but it is quite troublesome. Is there anyway I can upgrade the db to 11g in Window Vista?

Hi,
When upgrading from 8i to 11g, you cannot perform direct upgrade anyway.
If you want to upgrade (not using exp/imp), you can install 9i (9.2.0.4 and up) on the win98 machine, and upgrade the database to 9i.
Then you can take the database files, copy them (like cold backup) to the vista server, and you will able to upgrade it to 11g.
Note that you cannot use the DBUA in this scenario, you will have to upgrade it manually.
