Oracle 8i Install on Suse 6.4

I have tried in vain to install oracle on suse using a script from Suse's site without much success. I also tried the oracle installer. I get error messages with the enviroment settings or it bombs right at the end.
Could anyone please give me help on how to carry out the installation
One error message I got was :
JNLS exception:Oracle.ntpg.jnls exception. Unable to find any National charcter sets. Check your oracle installation and make sure that the Oracle_Home environment is defined correctly
Thanks

Hi William,
There are bugs on Oracle8i release 8.1.5.
You can download the patches from.

Good luck,

Oracle 9i install on SuSE 8.0 Pro failing

I get the following error when I try to run the "runInstaller"
script on SuSE 8.0. I'm following the Oracle 9i SuSE installation
instructions, but can't find any reference to this error. Does
anyone have any advice?
$ ./Disk1/runInstaller
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dynamic-link.h: 68:
elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion `! "bad dynamic tag"' failed!
I installed SuSE 8 on its default settings yesterday, and Oracle
is the first piece of software I'm trying to insall. If it helps,
I'm using glibc 2.2.5 and the "arch" command returns i686.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

You mean you actually got runInstaller to run????
How did you do that????
I've been trying for weeks and all I get is a SIGSEGV.
I'll add to your comments about Oracle by asking why they don't use either curses or (if they MUST have a GUI) Tcl/Tk for the installer program instead of this java rubbish.
8.0.5 installed with no problem on my Linux box (curses based installer).

Oracle 8.0.5 & SuSE 6.0 Install Problems

I am attempting to install Oracle 8.0.5 on to my SUSE 6.0 Linux
system. I have followed the instructions in the Oracle Install
manual but receive the following two error messages:
When attempting to run the oratab.sh shell script I get the
message "GROUPS: readonly variable"
When attempting to execute the orainst file I receive a message
stating that "Permission Denied"
I am faily new to Linux and have not installed any patches to
the basic install of SUSE 6. Are any patches necessary?
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me in getting Oracle
8.0.5 working on my machine.
Thanks,
Mark Warner

I installed Oracle database 10g on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 edition.

I installed Oracle database 10g on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 edition.
But this massage pop up when I used my browser first time before start database.
Actually when I clicks on yes to start database.
The web browser you are using is not optimized for this release of Oracle enterprise manager. It is recommended that you use one of the following:
* Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5, 6.0 or higher
* Netscape Navigator version 7 and higher
*Mozilla version 1.3.1 and higher
Dose any one know hoe to upgrade mozilla or install internet explorer 5.5, 6.0 or higher or SLES 8.
Regards,
D

You can download package for your distribution (for example) from http://www.mozilla.org or directly from SuSE ftp server ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1/suse/i586

Oracle 8.0.5 & SUSE Linux 6.0

I am attempting to install Oracle 8.0.5 on SuSE 6.0 Linux but
receive the following error messages:
When running oratabs.sh - "GROUPS: read only variable"
When running orainst - "Permission Denied"
I have no patches installed on SuSE - do I need any? If so what
and where are they?
I would realy appreciate some help as I am not a Linux expert.
Thanks,

Hi Markus,
I don't know what exactly getImportedKeys/getExportedKeys do.
I suppose it's some kind of select on the data dictionary views.
The reason for the slow performance could be miss-configuration
of Oracle or a very large number of objects (say more than 20000
tables).
I could advice that you check there's nothing else in the SYSTEM
tablespace than the data dictionary.
U could use:
select * from dba_segments where OWNER not in ('SYS','SYSTEM')
and TABLESPACE_NAME = 'SYSTEM';
I could recomend that you set shared_pool_size to 100MBytes, and
db_block_buffers*db_block_size to 100MB.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Michael
P.S. it could help if you publish some of the SQL statements that
are slow.

I am experiencing the same problem. There seems to be a horrible bug in the installer program. No problems are reported
at the end of the install log. But earlier I find messages such as:
Festlegen des Wertes f|r PROD_HOME zu /oracle9201/../oui
oracle.swd.oui Produktverzeichnis: Das Verzeichnis /oui konnte nicht erstellt werden. Entweder haben Sie nicht die erforderlichen Berechtigungen oder der Datentrdger verf|gt nicht |ber ausreichend Speiche
For some strange reason it seems to use /oracle9201 as base here instead of $ORACLE_HOME which is /oracle9201/product/home. But of course the / directory is not writable for the oracle user.
Festlegen des Wertes f|r PROD_HOME zu /oracle9201\..\jre\1.3.1
oracle.swd.jre Produktverzeichnis: Das Verzeichnis /jre/1.3.1 konnte nicht erstellt werden. Entweder haben Sie nicht die erforderlichen Berechtigungen oder der Datentrdger verf|gt nicht |ber ausreichend Speicherplatz.
The backslashes do not look good either. And again for some reason it does not use ORACLE_HOME as base directory here. Moreover the system has installed some things twice, in $ORACLE_HOME AND in /oracle9201. I think there is a problem in the installation program that uses the wrong path for some base directory. It can probably be overcome by giving oracle access to the / directory and then later copying these files into ORACLE_HOME. But who wants to give oracle-User access to / directory?

ORACLE 9iR2 OMS On SuSE 8

I have installed ORACLE 9i R2 on SuSE with no errors.And I have configured my OMS with no errors.But when I use "oemctl start oms" to start OMS,it said "Time out to start oms,......checking oem.nohup".I opened the oem.nohup,it said /usr/bin/nice /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/oemLaunchOms:Bat interpreter,No such file or directory.But I can find nice and oemLaunchOms in they directory.Somebody can help me?

Well, what about the listener and the instance ? are they running ? If not, plz start it first, before you start OMS. You have to start the listener first, then the instance. Do not do it vice versa or the OMS will give you an error.
Hope this help

Oracle 9i installation on SuSE 7.3 freezes

Hello-
just tried to install Oracle 9i on my SuSE 7.3 Linux box. After
the software installation I tried to create a new database
with "dbca", but when Oracle starts to create the database it
freezes the whole system. I can't even move the mouse cursor
then.
What's wrong?

Some screensavers on KDE on SuSE 7.3 freezes; Oracle9i behaves
erratically on my incarnation of 7.3 during installation. I've
had it lock up the session, log off the session, and tank the
whole computer. All while trying to install the database
product.
I have not tried the various tips and such found here yet.
Most Linux installations allow multiple window managers,
selectable at logon; perhaps any KDE issues can be circumvented
by using a less complex wm...?

Problems with Oracle Express 10 on Suse 10

Hi all,
i just tried installing Oracle Express Edition on Suse 10, but without much luck. I've installed the rpm following step by step the installation guide.
When i have tried running the oracle-xe script as indicated in the output:
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
I have this message:
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe: line 16: /etc/init.d/functions: No such file or directory
The same problem when i have run
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe: line 16: /etc/init.d/functions: No such file or directory
Starting Oracle Net Listener.
Starting Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Instance.
At the end, when i start the "Go To database Homepage" i have this message:
The connection was refused when attempting to contact 127.0.0.1:8080
Thanks for help!

just create the directory and change permissions to 777 and re-run the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script. worked for me on ubuntu dapper

How to find out if Oracle is Installed in server

I apologize for the simple question but no one in here seems to know if our server has Oracle installed or not. I have no experience in Oracle and have root access to the server but dont know the command to check wether Oracle is installed or not! anyone?
I thank you in advance for any help
Eduardo

This is one of those questions that can be a bit difficult to answer, given all the possibilities in the world. Since you said the magic word "root" I will assume you are on unix or at least a posix system.
http://tahiti.oracle.com has installation guides, find the one for your platform and check that. It should give a good foundation of what you want to look for. But some people get creative and some things are decisions by the DBA.
Since oracle may be installed and not running, looking for oracle processes may not tell you if oracle is installed. But a ps|grep ora can often give clues. It is even possible to delete files while oracle is running... (I've seen oracle uninstalled - it keeps running but new users can't log in. This is because rm a file doesn't actually remove a file until everyone is done with it.) Also, check ipcs - shared memory being used by oracle is a clue oracle is installed and/or running, but even that can be misleading with some configurations - sometimes a bungled startup will leave a mess.
Many unix systems have clues in /etc or /var/opt. Look for files with names like oratab and oraenv. Look at your passwd and group files, see if there are users with names like 'oracle' and groups like 'dba'. Look at user .profile, .cshrc, .bashrc, .kshrc files and see if there are references to oracle environment setting. $ORACLE_BASE, $ORACLE_HOME, $ORACLE_SID are often good clues, as well as references to oraenv or similar names. Look at the system startup files and see if there are references to oracle: there could be things like /sbin/rc*/*ora*, /etc/rc.d/*/*ora*, and so forth. Often the rc directories have a link to an init directory, such as a file like /sbin/init.d/oracle. There may be an inventory around somewhere called oraInventory, perhaps under $ORACLE_BASE, and installation log files, check your install guide for names. Also, if you have found $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID in an oratab, you might check $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/bdump/alert*log. Be aware that $ORACLE_HOME and the "oracle home directory" probably are not the same.
Older systems that have been clumsily dealt with may have all these things, and yet still not have "oracle installed." Good luck.
For these reasons and more, usually you would want to specify exact platform and oracle versions.
Edit: fixed alert log location

How can I get CPAN DBD::Oracle to install with XE?

It can't find oracle.mk so it dies. I'm also going to contact the DBD::Oracle module author, but just in case someone on these forums has already solved this, I'm also posting here. The output from the install was:
CPAN.pm: Going to build T/TI/TIMB/DBD-Oracle-1.16.tar.gz

The oracle.mk (or demo_rdbms.mk) file is part of the Oracle
RDBMS product. The proc.mk (or demo_proc.mk) file is part of
the Oracle Pro*C product. You need to build DBD::Oracle on a
system which has one of these Oracle components installed.
(Other *.mk files such as the env_*.mk files will not work.)
In the unlikely event that a suitable *.mk file is installed
somewhere non-standard you can specify where it is using the -m option:
perl Makefile.PL -m /path/to/your.mk
See README.clients for more information and some alternatives.
at Makefile.PL line 922.
So is there a different *.mk file that can be specified per the above?

As an FYI I tried demo_xe.mk on my Fedora Core 4 box (Perl 5.8.6) and got this.

Backup fails for a Hyper-V guest with VSS Writer failures using DPM 2012 R2 - Hyper-V guest has Oracle application installed,

I am trying to backup a VM which before it had Oracle installed backed up with no problems. It is a Windows 2008 R2 server which sites on an 8 node Hyper-V 2012 R2 cluster (with CSVs). I am using DPM 2012 R2 to run the backups which have been
successful for the last few weeks but then Oracle was installed and the backups have failed since then.
The job fails and a large number of VSS writers go into a 'Failed' state with the 'Last Error' showing as 'Timed out'. I then get 4 popups appear each referring to a 'temporary' drive which appears briefly in Disk Management with a RAW file system.
These pops say "You need to format the disk in drive X: before you can use it. Do you want to format it?" (where
X: is replaced by the drive letter assigned to each 'temporary' drive).
The System event log is populated with a large number of warnings with Event 51, Disk, stating "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk<number>\DR<number> during a paging operation". There are also a
few warnings for Ntfs (eventid 57) stating that "The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur."
Prior to these warnings there are 5 other warnings for partmgr (eventid 58) stating "The disk signature of disk
<number x> is equal to the disk signatuire of disk <number y>" and 4 errors (eventid 1, VDS Basic Provider), "Unexpected failure. Error code: 490@01010004".
There is a script which is run to stop the Oracle application on the server and if this is run then the backups will complete successfully. We have been troubleshooting this by running a certain amount of the script and seeing which part affects the
backup and it seems that if the Weblogic (wls_reports) service is stopped then the backup will succeed but if it is running then the backup will fail and the above symptoms occur.
Another point which may help is that there is a pre-production server which resides on a Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V standalone server, has the same scripts and installation of Oracle but backs up without any issues.
I have experienced VSS writer failures before with VM backups but I have not seen this before. It is not intermittent and I can find no work around to alleviate the problem of having no backup (except stopping this service or shutting the server down,
but as it is a production server this is not practical).
If anyone has experienced this before or have any suggestions / advice it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris
I have exactly the same issue.
2008 R2 Server running Oracle
6 node 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster with CSV
Exact same errors and popup "format disk" message.
DPM2012 R2
I also have some other VM's on the same cluster which do back up through DPM
The only difference I can see is the server which has the issue has a legacy network adapter.
Production server so cannot make any changes until later but will add new adapter and report back.
Interesting about the Weblogic service, may test this also.
Cheers
Kev.

Running Oracle 9i client code against an Oracle 10g install on PC

On Unix I am able to run Oracle 9i client code against an Oracle 10g install by setting ORACLE_HOME to the Oracle 10g install location and then creating a symbolic link (example: ln -fs libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so.9.0).
On PC (in particular XP SP2) I want to do something similar without using "junctions" or "junction points". Is there a way to set an environment variable or ini file to have my 9i client code point to the right libraries? I keep getting an error saying that my client code will not run due to "orasql9.dll" not being found. The "orasql10.dll" is installed on my machine.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

You might want to check metalink doc,
Client / Server / Interoperability Support Between Different Oracle Versions
Doc ID: Note:207303.1
Even your application built on 9i, doesn't mean it will not work with 10g database. From what I can see, running 9i executable under 10g installation to create mixed blood breed will do more harm than good. Not only it's not supported but also the outcome is unpredictable.

Requirements to install open suse 10.3 on lenovo3000n200

hi, would i need a copy of drivers for this machine to install open suse 10.3,or will this operating system be able to auto detect the drivers needed?
thanks ellie

Hi Ellie, I Have tried quite a few Linux Distros on my 3000 N200 and If memory serves Opensuse is one that doesn't quite get it all right on install. I remember having probs with my wifi card and sound drivers also not sure if the SD card reader is installed as I didn't test it at the time.
Personally best results were a debian based distro such as Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Only things that didn't work were sound (which I posted a fix for here: http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=Special_Interest_Linux&thread.id=316) and the fingerprint reader - which doesn't have many applications to tie to it in Linux at the moment.
Additionally if you follow the Linux route you will need to install drivers for your Graphics card if it's a 7300go and you want 3d acceleration, this can be done using the restricted driver install from the admin menu (possibly Yast in Suse If memory serves), or by installing a program called EnvyNG which makes it all easy-peasy.
You may also want to check out the Linux forum here:http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board?board.id=Special_Interest_Linux as there are bound to be some nice bods who can give you more advice if you get stuck.
Also found some good info on the Hardware Compatibility after a quick google:
http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Laptops/IBM
Hope this Helps you out
Regards
Rob
