Oracle 8i Lite Start up

Hi everybody,
I've windows/2000 pro installed on my m/c. The client version of it.
I'm using this m/c to surf the net and do some MS Acesses development and VB development. Now, I'm trying to do something with Oracle 8i Lite. I've received oracle 8i Lite Version 4.0.0.2.0 for Micorosoft Windows NT from Oracle corp in CD.
I installed this software in my machine.
When I had Oracle 7 a year or long back, after the installation, I had start and stop icons to start the database and stop to shut down the database, but oracle 8i is not like that.
Now, I dont know how to start or configure the oracle db, and access the db using sql*plus so that I can create some stored procedures and call them from Sql*plus.
Could somebody throw some ideas to understand this Oracle 8i lite version.
Regards,
Suresh

You will have to be a bit more specific about the error messages you get. Did you start the database and listener?

PL/SQL and Forms executable in Oracle 8i Lite ?

I've got 2 basic and important questions:
1.) Is it possible to store procedures with PL/SQL in a Oracle 8i Lite Database(Operating System Windows 2000)
2.) Are the normal Forms 6i - Applications executable on a Oracle 8i Lite Database.
(Operating System Windows 2000)

Regardless of which path you want to take, in order to get the OCP certification in either the DBA or PL/SQL developer track, you must first obtain the respective OCA certification for that track. I'm assuming that since you are still undecided in which path to take that you haven't started working on either yet. If you look at the pages for the OCA DBA and OCA PL/SQL Developer certs and what is required for each, you'll see that the first block of tests for either certification (the SQL based exams) has the same options (1Z0-007, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-051) and passing one of those SQL based exams gives credit towards obtaining both OCA certifications. That might be a good place to start.
Doing one of these tests first might give you some extra time to decide which track you want to pursue. But as Justin said, it really depends on what you do (or plan on doing) in your career as to which path might be more beneficial for you.
As for the OCM level stuff, I wouldn't even think about it until you get the OCP. One step at a time... Same with OCP before OCA. That being said, my suggestions are just that, suggestions. You're free to take any exams/courses in any order, but you won't be able to obtain the certs until you have completed the requirements for each.

Sequencing and Trigger on Oracle 9i lite database

We created a schema (TESTSCHEMA) on Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise edition and have a created a trigger which will use the sequence object to generate primary key for the table (TEST_TABLE)
Sequence creation:
CREATE SEQUENCE TESTSCHEMA.TEST_TABLE_SEQUENCE START WITH 6000 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 6000 MAXVALUE 6999 NOCACHE NOCYCLE NOORDER ;
Trigger creation:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TEST_TABLE INSERT BEFORE INSERT ON TEST_TABLE FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
pkValue NUMBER;
BEGIN
pkValue := 0;
Select TEST_TABLE_SEQUENCE.NextVal into pkValue from dual;
:NEW.TEST_KEY := pkValue;
END TEST_TABLE_INSERT;
We have created a snapshot of the schema on mobile server, synchronized the data with the client (Win32 for testing purpose).
The trigger works fine on the server, but when I run the same query on the lite database with msql it gives me an error:
[POL-3221] null key in primary index
I was wondering if Sequence generation and Triggers are supported on Oracle 9i lite database ? Or am I missing out something ??
Any information/ help is appreaciated
Thanks
Neeraj

You can't use SAVEPOINT / ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT statements in the database trigger:
ORA-04092: cannot SET SAVEPOINT in a trigger
ORA-04092: cannot ROLLBACK in a trigger
I am not sure what you need exactly, but you can try this:

Oracle 8i Lite: logging to sql plus - uid, password, host string - whats that

If i install "Oracle 8i Lite" (just locally, not networked). There are two important things : "Navigator", and "SQL Plus". If in navigator, I create a local database called "xxx" (tables under 'system' user). Then if i need to query - i go to SQL Plus. Fine, but how do we log in - what is the "host string" ?.
The login needs, Userid, Password, Host String. In some docs, it said the userid, password for 'system' account is 'system, manager' respectively. Anyways, now the host string , i had read the 'host string' will be like "@databasename", so I think for me, it will be "@xxx"
But the way, I'm understing, i cant log, and SQL Plus says something "TNS: could not resolve service name". Maybe i have to something with that tnsnames.ora file....?
Incase, you could give ANY information, kindly inform.
Thanks

If you get "TNS: could not resolve service name", it's either you have not start the database or your configuration in TNSNAMES.ORA is wrong.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
hi,
iam getting the same error(the TNS thing)can you be a bit more explaining regarding how to solve the problem.

Oracle 8i Lite - No listener

Hi.
I've just installed Oracle 8i Lite. When I try to access my database using Sql Plus, I got the message No listener. If I take a look at my services (under Windows 2000 Pro), there's nothing like Oracle.. :(
I dont even have a file named "lsnrctl*.*" on my system. I've try to reformat my system, then reinstall Oracle 8i Lite and the same thing happens... Am I missing something or what? Thanks for any help. I really have to test this before we plan to buy a lot of licence for or mobile users. Thanks.

hello,
when you start your sqlplus program you just type system for username,manager for password,odbc:polite for host string and you can go in..
good luck
can you do a favour to me.can you tell me how oracle8ilite works with mobile if i have a mobile phone and an oracle lite database.

2)how to start listener on this 8i lite
3)I have also tried creating service name with bequath protocol
nothing works
Pls Help. Any lead is appreciated

Hi
Your oracle database and forms are installed on different oracle home so when you configurate your sql net that time you are configurating only your oracle database. So for form you must be having different oracle home. you cand change thid from start/oracle inatallation products/home selecter. so change our home and run the form. and if still having problem than check for tnsnames.ora file you must be having two files and both must be having right configuration.
thanks

Oracle 10g Lite Mobile Devices

Hi,
1. Does Oracle 10g lite Support Arabic?
2. Does Oracle 10g lite Support Windows Mobile 5.0, PPC 2005?
3. On a PPC 2003 OS the sync worked well but after it finished the device manager started to register the device on the mobile server, there is an error raised that has invalid error code and as description 'Insufficient information to proceed',
Help Me In That Please?

Hi,
ad 1: Oracle Lite should support all the charsets the "big" Oracle server supports - even unicode afaik.
ad 2: yes, OLite supports WM5 (you have to install a patchset from metalink to enable WM5 support - try to search previous threads)
ad 3: what is the regional settings of your device? if it's some arabic culture which is not present in default OLite installation, you'll have to make some changes into Oracle Lite system tables to support your platform. In OL10g the "platform" is defined as a combination of OS type, CPU type and current OS culture settings - for example something like "WM5 + XScale CPU + czech culture". I used something like this to replace all the japanese platforms with our language to enable support for devices wit czech locale settings:
UPDATE mobileadmin.dm$all_platforms
SET NAME = REPLACE(NAME, ';JA', ';CS'),
TYPE = REPLACE(TYPE, '_JA_', '_CS_')
WHERE NAME LIKE '%;JA';
INSERT INTO mobileadmin.DM$LANG_MAP
(LANG_ID, LANG_NAME, LANG_CODE, LANG_REG, CODE_PAGE)
VALUES
('CS', 'Czech', 'CS', 'CZ', '1250');
you'll than probably also need to copy some files from default US locale to your new locale directory:
{ora10gLiteR2}\mobile_oc4j\j2ee\mobileserver\applications\mobileserver\setup\us => {ora10gLiteR2}\mobile_oc4j\j2ee\mobileserver\applications\mobileserver\setup\{your_locale}
than the device should be able to get registered...

Some doubt regarding oracle 9i lite

Hai,
I am doing R @ D on 9i lite. My scenario is as follows,
1. first i installed oracle 8i 8.1.7 database.
2. using oracle 9i lite 5.0.2 setup, In another machine instllaing mobile server and mobile development kit.
3. how to synchronize the 9i lite database with my 8i database.
My scenario is i need to create a standalone mobile server environment.
help me.

Your environment is older versions than we use, but the basic process for creating oracle lite client databases synchronised with the main server database is as follows
1) install the mobile server following the installation guide.
This will create the mobile server repository (schema MOBILEADMIN) and application on the app server or standalone. For production the repository data would normally be a seperate schema in the main database, and the mobile application running on one of the app servers
2) next you need to create your 'application'.
This consists of defining the tables or views from the main system you want to be able to synchronise with the offline clients. If you are just starting, the easiest way is to use the wtgpack wizard that comes as a part of the development kit. Start this up, create an application name, specify the client environment it will be going to (eg: WIN 32 or PPC2003) do the connection to the main server schema, select a table from the main system you want to synchronise, and take it through to publish
For the first go to see it working i would advise keeping it simple and just picking a small table, and set the refresh option to complete, with server wins in the conflict resolution. Once you have got things working, you can then go back and add other tables and start to look at using thre data subsetting to select only data relevant to a particular client, fast refresh options, and using views from the main system as the basis for the snapshots (in 5.0.2 i would avoid sequences)
3) when the application is published, start up the mobile manager tool
you should now be able to see the application you created, and the publication items (the tables that will be synchrionised). You now need to go to users and create a user and associate them with the application
4) set up client device
on a device of the type you want to synchrionse with (we use PDAs), go into IE, and enter the mobile server URL/webtogo/setup. This will give a list of the downloadable clients. Pick the appropriate one and follow the install instructions, using the user/password set up above
5) synchronise
on the client device run the msync utility. This will ask you for the user name/password and the server url, enter these and press the sync button and two datyabase files (.odb) should be created on the client - a control one concli, and one with the same name as your application. The client set up should have also installed a utility msql that you can use to look at the new local database

Oracle 9i Lite Installation

Hi All,
I am trying to install 9iLite on windows 2000, can any one help out with the installation process, I have installed 8iLite on 2000 but had some problems while running it, then I came to know that 8iLite is not certified on 2000 so had to shift to 9i lite, My task is to achive replication of my data. Should I install the Mobile Server, where my Oracle server recides and Mobile development kit on the client machine, or they both have to go on the client machine. I tried to install the Mobile server on my client machine, but I was unable to find the Oracle Lite Navigator that used to be on 8i lite, i am missing some thing over here, or is it compulsary that I should have 9iAS even though I am not accessing it through the web, I want to do my replication accross the network. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Oracle 9i lite installation on WIN NT

Am trying to install 9i lite on NT. Am unsure what to put in for the Mobile Server Repository Database information. I assume that this is where my database will reside so I put down my localhost for hostname and named the service LOCAL. When the files has been installed, at the Mobile Server Repository Wizard page, when I try accessing it, it tells me unable to find listener. Does anyone have any advice? Would appreciate any help.
THanks
Jeremy

Dear Siarhej,
I read about the problem of Jeremy installing Oracle 9i lite on Win NT.
I tried to do the same but on Windows 2000.
My problem starts in understandin the terms used in the installation of 9i lite and the JDeveloper. I habe received them both on two in CD.
I just want to test and learn developing a database and the jdeveloper suite to consider if this will be the right product for me.
I have already developed a database for a shop on DOS with clarion 2.1 but always standalone and years ago.
The system requirements in the documentation tells me about windows 2000 server which I don't have. I have only the windows 2000 desktop and want to start using oracle 9i lite but i think many of the things are missing or I didn't have been installed them because I haven't made the correct selections during the installation.
You have written to send an installation guide by mail to Jeremy.
Would you be son kind and send this instructions too to [email protected]
Thank you in advance.

Problem connecting Oracle 9i Lite to Oracle 9i Database

Hi,
I have just started working with Oracle 9i Lite and I am having
problems connecting to an Oracle 9i (9.0.1) database using the
packaging wizard. I can connect ok using SQL*Plus but when I connect
using this wizard the database is located i.e. no errors arise, but
the database schemas and tables are not found i.e. list is not
popluated.
However if I try to connect to an Oracle 8i (8.1.7) database there is
no problem and the schemas and tables are found with the list being
popluated.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Regards
Andrew.

I am having a similar problem, where I couldn't connect to Oracle 8i database (817). I am getting a error message when I tried to use Packaging Wizard -> Snapshot -> Import -> Username/password and jdbc:oracle:oci8:@connect string or jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:1521:Sid
The error message is 'No Suitable Driver. Make Sure the Proper JDBC drive for "jdbc:oracle:oci8i:@<connect string>" is in the classpath"
I would appricated if someone can send me any help on this.

Oracle 10g Lite-Sync Error

Hi,
I am Using Oracle 10g"Lite" Database, I am doing manual SYNC Process.
Today I started the manual Sync Process i Got this Error Message in the Screen "POL-3201 Invalid Slot Number"
I referred a document Shows this information
POL-3201 Invalid slot number
Cause: Internal error caused by referencing an object that has been deleted. Each
object in the database, such as a row has a unique object identifier (OID) that
identifies the location of the object in secondary storage. Each database file is
divided into fixed size chunks called disk pages. An OID can become invalid
when the:
■ disk page being referred by the OID does not exist in the database file.
■ physical read or write of the disk page fails due to an operating system related
error.
■ address of the object (as indicated by the internal encoding in the OID) in the
disk page is outside the page.
■ object is not found in the page.
But i did not delete any thing in the Lite database.
Yesterday the Manual SYNC was Successful ...After i did not touch the Lite Database.Today I started the SYNC and i Got the Error.
Did any one face this error?
Please advice on this Error
Thank U for the Useful Information

Oracle 10g Lite with ADF/BC4J Application(Offline access in Mobile )

Hi All,
We have the following requirement from one of our client.
Customer Company has R12 Apps instance(which is having 10g Database APPSDB). The users will come in the morning
and connect to the System(NEWSYSTEM) to download their daily worksheet(resides in APPSDB) to their Mobile Devices
(Windows XP - http://www.keenzo.com/zoom.asp?zoom=3830134) and then disconnect from the system. The download of data
should start after login into their Mobile Device Custom Application So that only their worksheet will be downloaded
to their Mobile Device DB.
Then they will goto their fields and review their daily worksheet in the Mobile Device application(NEW APPLICATION)
in offline mode. And update in the application with their findings, which should be stored in the Mobile Device database(MOBILEDB).
In the evening the uses will come and connect to the system(NEWSYSTEM) and login into their Mobile Application and
start the upload process, then the updated data from their Mobile Database will be uploaded into APPSDB via the NEWSYSTEM.
I checked the links, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/lite/index.html and http://lite.us.oracle.com and I have
got some understanding about Oracle 10g Lite. For the above requirement we are proposing the NEWSYSTEM as Oracle 10g Lite Server
and the NEW APPLICATION as ADF/BC4J which can run in their Mobile Devices(work offline and then sync with DB).
I have the following questions.
1) The above proposing system is feasible?
2) Can we develop the Mobile Application using ADF/BC4J and using that we would like to
control the sync process from our custom application.(so that only their worksheet will come to their Mobile Device DB)
3) If I want to have the above system,
a) I should have Oracle 10g Lite server installed(im Unix or Windows)
b) I should have Oracle 10g Lite client installed in a Windows PC/Laptop
c) To get my custom application in My Mobile Device, first I have to deploy the application
in Oracle 10g server using Oracle Mobile Server. Then I have to connect my Mobile Device to the Oracle 10g Lite server,
and deploy the application in my Mobile Device using Oracle Mobile Manager.
4) I would like to do a POC before start the project.
What are all the installations I have to do in my Laptop.(Consider I am installing Oracle 10g Lite server/client, Mobile Manager in my Laptop)
I am new to Oracle 10g Lite, correct me if any of my understanding is wrong.
If you have any comments in the approach please add it.
Thanks in advance.
With Regards,
Kali.

1) The above proposing system is feasible?
perfecly feasible, and actually a reasonably standard use of oracle lite
2) Can we develop the Mobile Application using ADF/BC4J and using that we would like to
control the sync process from our custom application.(so that only their worksheet will come to their Mobile Device DB)
Actually two different questions here. The application code that runs on the client device can be written in any thing that will run on that type of device, and is capable of using the APIs to connect to the local database, and the other functionality like synchronisation. From the forum there look to be VB, C, java users out there (an i even believe if you wanted to, you could use forms). Main decision regarding the Platform for the application code development tends to be whatever you have the skills in.
In terms of the sync process only downloading a particular users worksheet, this would be defined when you define the snapshots of the database tables you want to download, rather than the sync login process itself.
For example - you have a table WORKSHEETS on the server that you want to download, it has a column EMP_NO which is the employee identifier. You would define the selection for the snapshot as
select * from WORKSHEETS where EMP_NO=:emp_no (note the bind variable)
when you then add users to the oracle lite application (actually the database), then you will have a parameter called EMP_NO to define with the employee number for that particular user, and this will be used automatically as the bind variable in the download.
NOTE subsetting in this way does not need to be direct, for example things like
select * from TASKS where id in (select task_id from user_tasks where emp_no=:emp_no) is perfectly valid
NOTE when reading the forum and documentation, be careful of the word application. There are actually two different things to be developed, both normally called 'application'
Within oracle lite you create an application with publication items, scripts, sequences etc. and then subscribe your users to this application. The application in this context is actually the database and synchronisation management ONLY (you can include files and code for download)
The second application is your runtime code that has a user interface, functionality, processing and validation. This is written in some development platform, and accesses the database created above for select, insert, update etc.
3) If I want to have the above system,
a) I should have Oracle 10g Lite server installed(im Unix or Windows)
YES this goes on the app server and installs a repository schema MOBILEADMIN within your database
b) I should have Oracle 10g Lite client installed in a Windows PC/Laptop
YES - once the server is set up, this is downloaded and set up by accessing the <server url>/webtogo/setup
c) To get my custom application in My Mobile Device, first I have to deploy the application in Oracle 10g server using Oracle Mobile Server. Then I have to connect my Mobile Device to the Oracle 10g Lite server,
and deploy the application in my Mobile Device using Oracle Mobile Manager.
steps in outline are
1) install server
2) develop the oracle lite application (ie: database) and publish this to the mobile server (can use the development kit or java APIs for these two steps
3) add a user with the relevant subsetting parameters
4) set up oracle lite win32 client on the laptop from the server download
5) synchronise using the msync utility on the client to create the databases and odbc entries
6) develop your application code using the client database
7) during development, then changes to database structure would be via changes and re-publish of the oracle lite application, followed by a sync to update the client database
8) once all development is complete, the runtime application code can be bundled up into the oracle lite application if you want, and then the initial sync for live users will download the database and application code.
4) I would like to do a POC before start the project.
What are all the installations I have to do in my Laptop.(Consider I am installing Oracle 10g Lite server/client, Mobile Manager in my Laptop)
You can set up a standalone server on the laptop, but better to do this on a development app server so you can use the main server development database as the data souce for the snapshot definitions (pretty easy install). there are conflicts if you try and put the oracle lite client and the mobile development kit on the same machine, but if you are familiar with java, the API development is fairly straightforward to use (i have developed applications in this, and i know only the basics of java) you do not need the MDK
Basic for a POC i would say is to
1) set up mobile server on development
2) define a simple oracle ite application on two server tables. one has select * from table, and the other has select * from table where .... including bind variable. at this stage use complete refresh as the mode for simplicity
3) publish the application, create user and define the subsetting variable
4) set up mobile client and synchronise user. use the msql utility to interrogate the database and check the content, and do some updates 9standards SQL syntax)
5) create simple appliaction code to conect to and read the database on the client
6) do a sync after the updates above and check they appear in the server
The above should be reasonably quick and proves
a) ability to define the data you want to be sent to the users
b) ability to create an app to manage the database running on the client device in you preferred software platform
c) data download and upload
after this basic POC, you can extend into defining fast refreshes to improve the efficiency of the sync process, managing the MGP process, developing a more comprehensive database and application etc. If you have complex joins between server table, you may also want to look at creating views to denormalise data and use these as the basis for the snapshots
