ORACLE 8.0.5 Patches on Red Hat 8.2.1

After installing Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 6.1, do we need to run any patches..?
(I have downloaded the ORACLE8 from Technet).
If yes.. where do I get them..?
null

I would not blame ORACLE - I think the problem is
with the EGCS and the libraries.
I have emails from the linux.devel on these.
For e.g. a simple program such as
#include "stdio.h"
FILE *fp = stderr;
main() {
gives error on Redhat 6.0, Caldera 2.2!
It works on Solaris, IRIX, AIX, Redhat 5.2 and
even with Visual C++ 6!
I have had other programs such as pdksh (ksh) also
dumping on Redhat 6.0 and Caldera 2.2
(even after I compile everything from source!).
I have also had nothing but trouble with other databases
on 6.0. I think new kernels should go through a lot more
testing before being released like this.
I am also debating whether to move back to Redhat 5.2!

Oracle 8.1.7 install on Red Hat 8.0 or 7.2

I have been trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on both Red Hat 8.0 and 7.2 and have followed all the instructions as per the install documents as well as the
tips/tricks posted at various tech websites such as http://www.puschitz.com/ and so on. I am not able to get the installer to work because of the JRE.
I am getting an error which says - Java Runtime Environment not found at /bin/jre, though I have installed JDK 1.1.8 downloaded from www.blackdown.org
and followed all the required instructions.
Can someboby, please help me to get this to work.
Thanks

P.S. BTW, I have successful Oracle9i installs.

These are installation instructions for Oracle8i (8.1.7) on Linux 7.2 (Your suggestions would be welcome).
1.     Login as root/password.
2.     Create the following groups.
a.     # groupadd osoper

b.     # passwd oracle (when prompted, enter ‘oracle’ as oracle’s password)
Install the first set of Linux Patches:
(Remember all commands as well as folder-names are case-sensitive)
1.     Insert RedHat Linux CD2 to install the following patches.
2.     Close all GUI
3.     Open a terminal
4.     # cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
5.     # ls compat*
6.     Three of these patches will be installed now:

8.     # umount /mnt/cdrom      (Unmount/Eject the CD to remove it).
Set up the Oracle Environment:
1.     Open a terminal window and connect as user – oracle:
# su oracle
2.     $ cd /home/oracle               (Mere $cd by itsel[i]Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

Migrate oracle 9iR2 database from Suse to Red Hat???

Hi Everyone,
We're going to move an oracle 9iR2 database from Suse to Red Hat. At this moment I don't know the detail about the platforms yet. I still like to ask a question if DB backup on Suse is compatible on RedHat? Physical restoring may be our prefer instead of exp/imp.
Any advices?
Thanks,
Eric

I'm pretty sure (never did it myself) that there will be not problem when moving the database. The Oracle software is the same (at least when you use the x86 version) so
the format of the datafiles and controlfiles should be identical.
However some configuration files (network settings) might differ so try before you die :-)

Install Oracle 11.2 (ASM) failover on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Suite

Hi everybody,
I need installer Oracle 11.2 with asm on Failover Cluster Red Hat linux Suite (two servers), could someone help me?
There is documentation about that...
My idea is
- Installer oracle in both servers
- Installer Infraestructure Grid for asm in both server
- Create database on asm (ams disk shoud be same for boths servers)
Is soported gfs (global file system) and asm?
I have many doubts.
Thanks in advance.

I have several comments:
Don't use the RPM utility to install software. It does not resolve dependencies. As of RHEL 5, YUM or UP2DATE are the standard software management tools.
RHEL? Do you have a paid subscription or money to waste? If not, you will be much better off using Oracle Linux, because you can download it for free and also have access to all errata and patches for free (http://public-yum.oracle.com). If you need the RHCK kernel instead of the more advanced Oracle UEK kernel, which is optimized by Oracle for Oracle products, no problem, because Oracle Linux ships with both. If you want to use Linux ASMLib under RHEL 6, you need a RHEL subscription to download the kernel module. The Oracle UEK kernel includes the driver.
Also if you use Oracle Linux, you can install the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package, which triggers the installation of all prerequisite software and takes care of kernel parameters and creating the Oracle account. You then simply set a password for the Oracle account and you're done.
RHEL 6.0. Why such an old version and not 6.4?
According to my records, you can use the following command under RHEL 6 to install the 11gR2 prerequisite software. Yum will automatically install other depended software as required.
yum install compat-libstdc++-33 compat-gcc-34 compat-gcc-34-c++ \
elfutils-libelf-devel ksh sysstat make gcc gcc-c++ compat-libcap1 \
glibc-devel glibc-common glibc-headers libstdc++-devel libaio-devel

Oracle 9i R2 Standard Edition on Red Hat As 2.1

I have installed Oracle 9i R2(9.2.0) Standard Edition on Red Hat Linux AS 2.1
When I have check :
Select * from V$Version the result was :
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
I don't understand what happened , why in V$Version not appear Standard Edition which I have installed?
Thank you very much,

responding to myself, you can find that version of binutils in metalink: Patch 2414946

After installing glibc patch (oracle9i - red hat linux 8)

My oracle9i was working fine on red hat linux 8. but after installation of a glibc patch
"glibc-2.1..3-stubs.tar.gz" something has gone wrong. it has renamed executables by appending/suffixing
zero '0' to the filenames. e.g sqlplus is sqlplus0
i cannot find my sqlplus? i am afraid to restart the system?
should i restart? what is the problem?

Whenever you re-link Oracle, it makes backup copies of the executables (appending 0 to the filename). However, you should have a new SQLPLUS. I would suggest just doing a
relink all
from a command prompt as user Oracle and see if that helps.

Installation Problem Oracle 9.2.0.4 on Red Hat Linux 5

I have installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. I want to install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.4) Server.
I have created oracle user and set oracle home directory in the .bash_profile.After that i run runinstaller file but the message comes as below..
'The user is root. Oracle Universal Installer cannot continue installation if the user is root. No such file or directory.
Please tell me the actual solution.
- Prasanta

First of all, as pointed out by Hans, make sure you perform the installation with the oracle user, not root.
Next, you should be aware that installing Ora9iR2 on RHEL5 is neither supported nor planned, so you must be aware you will be on your own. There is no official procedure to install 9i on RHEL5, however, considering you will use this for personal purposes, not production, you can attempt the procedure provided by Ivan Kartik --> Oracle 9i on RHEL 5.

Installation of Oracle 8.1.5 on Linux Red Hat 5.2

I successfully downloaded Oracle Entreprise Server i8.1.5 (260
Mb).
But I did not succeed to install it. I've go a problem with the
script runInstaller. When I run it, nothing happens. When I try
to run the run time itself, it cores.
At least, it must run the OUI.
So I checked my hardware configuration : Aptiva IBM Pentium II
45O Mhz, RAM 128 Mb, HDD 13Gb splitted in 2 parts ( 6.5 Gb for
Linux and 6.5 for Windows).
I also checked the requierement for the environnement.(Variables
display, home directories, and the mandatory accounts for Oracle
and the parameters of the kernel). It looks correct.
What can I do now ? Is it a bug of this version ?
Why the OUI does not start ?
Thanks to advise.

Don't forget you need the Jave Runtime Environnement JRE 1.1.6

But Today, I 've updated my kernel with Red Hat 6.0 (Kernel

Now , runInstaller does something and goes forward trying to run

Oracle 8.1.7 on Linux Red Hat 7.2

We have two Servers, One is HP6000, the other is Dell 6400. Both are Linux Red Hat 7.2 OS with Oracle 8.1.7 installed.
Now I want to make a cluster with them, One is active, One is standby.
Which software I need? And how install it on my servers?
Best Regards
[email protected]

you might need cluster software such as RedHat Cluster Manager to perform failed over. it came from with RedHat AS (Advanced Server). other third party sofrwares (plus firmware supported) are also available.

ORA-3115 occuring after migration to Oracle 11.1.0.6 on Red Hat

Our application has been running on Tru64 5.1b, Oracle v9 for years quite happily. Since migrating to Red Hat Linux, Oracle 11 we've encountering ORA-3115 errors sporadically from a Pro*C call.
Our C executable maintains a connection to the database. Once the 3115 error occurs it occurs on every query to the database from that executable (other processes continue OK, something with the connection?). Our proram uses Pro*c queries with dynamic binds.
There seems to be no pattern to the frequency with which the error occurs.
The offending bit of code is usually:
EXEC SQL SELECT
UPDATE_INHIBITED,
LAST_UPDATE_TIME,
TO_CHAR(LAST_LIVE_UPDATE, 'HH24:MI:SS DD-MM-YYYY'),
LAST_TRANSACTION,
LAST_TRANSACTION_DG
INTO
:sql_update_inhibited,
:sql_last_update,
:sql_last_operational_update,
:sql_last_trans,
:sql_last_trans_dg
FROM SET_DETAILS
WHERE SET_ID = :sql_set_id;
This code has been unchanged for years. The fact that it usually occurs here probably more because this is the first database call completed as part of a scheduled process.
This problem is having an operational impact (as the updates do not occur) and I really need to get a resoltuion before the Christmas break.
As I said we've just migrated to a new server. There may be configuation parameters that are not perfect. Any suggestions on what we could double check?
Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas how I can work around this?
Thanks,
Beck

Is your client is also 11g is not upgrade to 11g Client and try.

Installing Oracle Linux on Fedora Core (formerly Red Hat)

Hello,
I am very new to Linux having been a recent Windows convert and wanted to find out whether I can talk to someone about installing Oracle on a Fedora Core system. I find the current documentation to be quite daunting for a newbie like me. I am not new to Oracle per se but I am new to installing it on a different operating system. It's also easier for me to chat about my issues than to do a long-winded e-mail. If there is a "guru" in this area that can contact me, I can be reached at 305-491-0417 (cell) or e-mail me at [email protected]
Much appreciated and Thanks,
Steve

Oracle 9.0.1 client on Red Hat 8.0

If anyone knows work arounds for the following issues I would appeciate knowing what they are.
1) netca - If the test option is selected while creating a tnsname, the application crashes with the following message:
/var/opt/oracle/9.0.1/bin/netca: line 108: 9239 Segmentation fault $JRE -classpath $CLASSPATH oracle.net.ca.NetCA $*
If I say "no" to test, then the tnsnames.ora is created correctly. CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/network/jlib
2) OEM console crashes when trying to connect to a management server, or when trying to run standalone and specifying preferred credentials for connection. In either case I get
Segmentation fault
Other info. RAM is 128 MB and swap is 512 MB. Kernel is 2.4.20-13.8 and I had the same problem with 2.4.18-14. Any ideas are appreciated.

It's hard to tell what might be going wrong without seeing more of the application. Have you tried creating the environment(s) in OCI_THREADED mode?

[HELP] how to run 2 oracle database on 1 PC linux red hat 9

Dear Guru,
I want to run OEMREP database and Test database on the same PC redhat 9.
I always get error when startup database when starting up the second database.
It seem it can work with 2 datbase on the same time.
How I can do it?
Thanks
ER

If you have already created the second database. Then you can be able to start it. You should be able to run many databases on your Redhat 9 box.
Set the ORACLE_SID for each database you want to start.
To start db1
From command prompt
$ export ORACLE_SID=db1
$sqlplus /nolog
SQL>connect /as sysdba
SQL>startup
To start db2
From command prompt
$ export ORACLE_SID=db2
$sqlplus /nolog
SQL>connect /as sysdba
SQL>startup
If they are in different oracle home. First set the ORACLE_HOME before each
e.g
$export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/ora10g
or
$export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/em_1
