Oracle 8i/OAS on laptop

Greetings:
Has anyone ever gotten an 8i database (8.1.6 for NT) with OAS (4.0.8.2.1 for NT
) to run on a laptop. I'm trying to run an application standalone on my laptop with Windows 2000 professional (P3 700, 384 MB RAM). My problem is that if I'm not connected to my companys network, W2K "disables" my network connection which causes the OAS process "wrksf" to terminate (or not start) and then the application (obviously) won't run. By "disables", I mean Win 2K places a red X over my network connection. I'm not too familiar with Win 2K, but this is always when the process bombs out. I think the problem is also related to domain names. I'd rather just not associate my laptop with a domain name at all, but OAS requires you to put in something for domain when installing OAS and then the listeners expect the urls to have that domain. Isn't there some way to not have a domain name at all and just connect like: hostname:port?
Thanks for any help!
Chris

Try to add the hostname and hostname.domain.com to winnt\system32\drivers\etc\host file
with an static ip address.
ej:
170.210.115.10 cocodrilo.exa.unicen.edu.ar cocodrilo
If you are using DHCP, contact with your network administrator to assign a fixed ip into DHCP server mapped to the laptop MAC id, and then use this ip number.
Best regards, Marcelo.

Using Oracle Portal in a Laptop

I have a stand-alone portal installation in my laptop. I would like to take the laptop elsewhere to demonstrate a portal I've created, but when I turn off the connection to the Internet I can't connect to the portal. Does anyone know a work around this problem?
I am using Oracle 8i (8.1.7.1.1) Enterprise Edition Database, Oracle 9iAS Portal (1.0.2.2.0) and Oracle 8i (8.1.7.1.1) Patch with Microsoft Internet Explorer as the web interface and Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system.

Problems Installing Oracle 8i on Gateway laptop W/ 1.6 GHz CPU

I'm having problems installing Oracle 8i on a Gateway 600X with a 1.6 GHz CPU and Windows 2000 Professional. The Install/DeInstall screen appears, I click Install/Deinstall, the screen disappears, the hourglass disappears a couple seconds later, and the the install ends without any messages. I tried installing on slower machines and the software seems to install correctly. Is there an issue with Intel's new Mobile Pentium 4 processors or Gateway's laptops?
Thanks,
Mike

have a look in your $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory. If the init<ORACLE_SID>.ora file has remote_login_password=exclusive then you should also have a file called orapw<ORACLE_SID>. If you haven't, then create one by running "orapwd file=orapw<ORACLE_SID> password=internal entries=5".
This has worked for me in the past, hope it helps.

Query ON ORACLE AND OAS UPGRADE PLAN

Currently we are running Oracle Server 7.3.4 Under Unix (SunOS5.7) with access to a Sybase 12.5.0.1 via Oracle-Sybase Transparent Gateway 4.1.1.0.0.
For the web services, we use OAS 4.0.8.1. Our web applications are based on Javascript and Oracle PL/SQL to generate HTML.
We plan to upgrade the Oracle Server from 7.3.4 to Oracle 9iAS version 9.2.0.1.
Our quetions are :
1) Is it necessary to upgrade OAS 4.0.8.1 to Oracle 9iAS?
1a)If we have to upgrade then which version of 9iAS (9.0.2, 9.0.3, 9.0.4)is compatible?
1b)what change, if any, do we have to make to our exisiting applications(Javascript, HTML and PL/SQL-generated HTML) (we understand that the application logic would not have to be change in any
way. Is this so?)
2) Are Oracle Server 9i and Oracle 9iAS Application Server compatible with the SunOS5.7 Unix or is an upgrade to a later version necessary?
3) Do we need to upgrade the Oracle-Sybase Transparent Gateway if we upgrade the Oracle Server to Oracle9i and if so, to what version?
Please confirm that Oracle9.2 has a Gateway to Sybase 12.5.0.1 that will support the features of 7.3.4 gateway (i.e it is downward compatible to 7.3.4
gateway).

Not real sure if this is doable or would help, but perhaps you can load the access table into an Oracle Global Temporary Table? See http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/8i/TemporaryTables.php (and google on it). I think I'm assuming your 11 hour query had something to do with shovelling a bucketload of data to the access side, perhaps if you could show us the plan on the Oracle side that access was generating to get the Oracle data there might be a different answer.
Oftentimes cross-db tools won't use Oracle features like analytics, or do slow-by-slow row processing where a short procedure could do things within the Oracle sql engine and return data in larger arrays.
Sometimes mass data cleansings benefit from using server side tools outside of the db. Do you have the data from before it was loaded to Oracle? What Oracle platform are you on?

Or does it mean that I must pay Oracle in order to be able to get these packages in order to learn ASM at home ??
Why would Oracle allow us to use their RDBMS/RAC/ASM/Linux software at home learning for free and not supply the above two packages??If you want to use ASM for free, install Oracle Linux 5 Update 7 and download the RHEL5 oracleasmlib package from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/linux/downloads/rhel5-084877.html
Keep in mind that Database is NOT certified on Oracle Linux 6 anyway, so it is challenging to install. The very article you link to uses Oracle Linux 5. It also links to these very same RPMs. If you follow the article more carefully, you won't have any issues.

Running two different versions of the oracle client on my laptop

Hi, i have one application (iAvenue 6.1.3) which absolutely has to have the oracle 8 client installed. I have a second application (Isabel) which absolutely needs the oracle 9 client installed. Can i have the oracle 8 and 9 clients installed on my laptop simultaneously, which would allow both of these applications to work without any conflict? If so, how? Is there a file on my laptop that i can update to make sure this work?

There are no problems, you can run 8.0 and 8i, but be aware of the differences:
8.0 required an specific platform installer, it had its own set of regedit entries. 8i used the OUI. Beware of the %PATH% environment. And take care of connectivity issues. You should use two different listeners, if trying to use the same listener, use the 8i and check the compatibility with tns entries 8.0 and older.
When the transition between 8.0 and 8i took place, a lot of applications suffered mainly because of strange connectivity issues.

Environment Variables in a single host same user two Oracle homes OAS

Hello All.
I've been googleing and looking over otn site but I cannot find solution to my question that, perhaps, is pretty easy.
I have an OAS 10g installation in a Linux single node.
I've made the installation the INFRA and the MT with the same user (oracle)
If I set the ORACLE_HOME in the oracle user .bash_profile my command lines will work just for the ONE of the Oracle Home (the one pointed in the profile).
I have two solutions:
1. Make the .bash_profile dynamic. that is to program like a menu to ask what Environment Variables to load (infra's or MT's.)
2. Make like .bat files to just call them and set whatever I need.
Sounds simple, but I have no idea how to make or program any of them. I am pretty much a newbie in unix shell script programming.
Thanks in advance any help.

Hi
This is for test purpose.
I know oracle dont enjoy having same SID for 2 instances in same host.
I was reading about it and seems is possible on UNIX machines. So i tried to do in a red hat linux enterprise 4.
But with dbca, im always stoped by oratab, cause cant have same oracle_sid in oratab.
Any idea how to do it?
Not using dbca and making the database manually via script?
ThanksWell, if you read this link,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/startup.htm#CNCPT601
And from here, this quote,
>
Multiple instances can run concurrently on the same computer, each accessing its own physical database. In large-scale cluster systems, Real Application Clusters enables multiple instances to mount a single database.>
One instance can be used only by one single database on a box. There may be another instance of the same name available but Oracle won't let you open that database. You will receive,
ORA-01102 cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE modeCause: Some other instance has the database mounted exclusive or shared.
Action: Shut down the other instance or mount in a compatible mode.>
So , in any case, you are limited to one single database and one instance. As Paul mentioned, using different case, you may be able to achieve this but that still can't be called a true test as on *nix, case does matter and ORCL and orcl are going to be considered as two different databases.

How to install Oracle Configuration Manager on laptop without Oracle dist?

I'm sure this is the wrong forum to ask this in, but I can't find a better one.
I was trying to file a support case in My Oracle Support, which I haven't done in a long time. It appears to want me to install "Oracle Configuration Manager". I just have WebLogic installed on this box. I don't even have an Oracle installation. The installation instructions for OCM seem to be very complicated, or I'm just missing the "just do this simple thing" instructions.
I downloaded the installer, and I installed it, but when I try to submit a support case, it seems like it thinks it's not installed. It keeps on complaining that I haven't used a stored configuration, but I don't see any way to create one. I imagine that OCM is supposed to help with that, but it's not doing anything obvious.

Thanks for the link! The "Oracle® Database Installation Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1) for Solaris Operating System" link you provided says:
+6.3 Removing Oracle Configuration Manager+
To uninstall Oracle Configuration Manager, follow these steps:
If the $ORACLE_HOME directory contains a database, remove the Oracle Configuration Manager user and the associated objects from the database by running the following script:
SQL> $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/admin/scripts/dropocm.sql
If the database is a repository for the Oracle E-Business Suite, log in to the database as an SYSDBA user and remove the additional objects from the database by running the following script:
+$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/admin/scripts/ebs_dropccr.sql Oracle_Applications_User+
If the database is a repository for Oracle Grid Control, log in to the database as the SYSMAN user and remove the additional objects from the database by running the following script:
+$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/admin/scripts/dropemrep_collect.sql+
To stop the Scheduler and remove the service or the crontab entry, enter the following command:
+$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/deployPackages -d $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/inventory/core.jar+
Delete the ccr directory by entering the following command:
+$ rm -rf $ORACLE_HOME/ccr+
Oracle Configuration Manager is successfully uninstalled.
However, $ORACLE_HOME/ccr/admin/scripts/dropocm.sql does not exist on our system.

Reducing physical RAM consumption by oracle instance in my laptop

I wanted to reduce the amount of RAM consumed by my Oracle Instance in my machine.
OS: Windows Server 2003
DB version: 10GR2.So i tried to reduce the sga_max_size to 200mb then restarted the instance. But sga_max_size remains the same. What am i doing wrong?
SQL> show parameter sga_max_size
NAME TYPE VALUE
sga_max_size big integer 584M
SQL> alter system set sga_max_size=200m scope=spfile;
System altered.
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 612368384 bytes
Fixed Size 1250428 bytes
Variable Size 281021316 bytes
Database Buffers 322961408 bytes
Redo Buffers 7135232 bytes
Database mounted.
Database opened.
SQL> show parameter sga_max_size
NAME TYPE VALUE
sga_max_size big integer 584M

You can reduce SGA_MAX_SIZE as well as increase it, but it requires instance restart. The reason you cannot change it is that you have SGA_TARGET set to a higher value, or total value of these parameters is larger than your value for SGA_MAX_SIZE:
shared_pool_size
large_pool_size
java_pool_size
db_cache_size
By the way, if you want to reclaim memory for your OS, you shouldn't worry about SGA_MAX_SIZE. Decrease SGA_TARGET instead.

Will oracle release OAS 4082 for Linux ?

We need to move our OAS to Linux in order to cut costs and provide better scalability.
We also need to use SSL.
There are no DOMESTIC version of OAS 4081 for Linux available.
The US Govt lifted encryption export restriction and OAS 4082 (at least on solaris) comes standard with SSL 128 bits.
When will it be available on LINUX ?

Linux support will begin with the next major release of iAS. i.e. 7.x

Error when installing Oracle Lite for Mobile Field Service Laptop

Hi,
I am facing a strange problem when installing Mobile Field Service Laptop agent "Oracle Lite" on my laptop.
When I run the setup, it asks me username and password, after entering the information, when I proceed, I see setup window which displays below messages
"Authenticating with server... "
Please wait. This may take several minutes ...
Then it hangs for several minutes, approx 5 to 10 mins, and then gives message
"Could not connect to server: HTTP/1.0 502 Bad Gateway"
I am not able to proceed with setup.
But none of my other colleagues are facing this issue, even though the network, proxy settings and java version are same.
Any idea about this error?

Developer 6.0, OAS 4.0.8 and Oracle 8i

I have just installed Oracle 8i, Developer 6.0 and OAS 4.0.8 into our Windows NT 4 test box. I installed the three components on different ORACLE_HOMEs. I am having some difficulties in deploying the demos on the web. I used the static.html and I all I get is a "Oracle JInitiator: applet oracle.forms.engine.main inited" message.
According to the OAS 4.0.8 release notes, OAS 4.0.8 should be installed on a seperate NT machine if you are using Oracle 8i. The Developer 6.0 release notes recommends to use Oracle 8.0.5 and OAS 4.0.7.
Do I really have to follow the release notes? Is it possible to setup Oracle 8i, OAS 4.0.8 and Developer 6.0 on the same NT machine? If it is possible, will it work?
Thank you in advance.

Ganesh,
The port that I use to create a new listener is not being used by another process. After creating the new listener the wrb.log is empty and the new listener doesn't have a .err log. The NT event log message is :
'The description for Event ID (0) in Source (Oracle Web Listener Administrator) could not be found. It contains the ff. insertion string(s): Unable to open service, due to system error 1060.'
Roncab
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Ganesh Kumar ([email protected]):
Just to double check, Did you check the port number of that newly created Listener? Because if that port is already in use, the HTTP listener will not start. Did you check the log file wrb.log? and also check the error
(.err) file of the new listener that you can find under the directory
'OAS_HOME'\ows\admin\'sitename'\'listener_name'
Please check these files for futher details.

Oracle XE on Windows 7 laptop. Changed computer name, now cannot connect

I run Oracle XE on my laptop with Windows 7. I just changed my computer name and rebooted. Now I cannot connect to the Oracle XE database at all. I found references to the old computer name in the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files under C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN.
Is there any other file I need to update in order for the change to work?
Thanks!
François

Is the database running? (check near the bottom of alert_xe.log, was the last startup OK ... )
Other than the updated host = <hostname> in listener.ora and TNS alias that should be all the updates that are needed, as long as your <hostname> resolves to the right TCP address, and a reverse lookup on the TCP address shows the new hostname, as a double check it try these in a command box (dunno about win7 if the nslookup is in the winnetworking or maybe something different? hosts?) ...
$ ipconfig /all
Host Name .. : <hostname>
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
... IP[v4?] Address: <your TCP/IP address>
$ nslookup <hostname>
... <your TCP/IP address>
$ nslookup <your TCP/IP address>
... <hostname>
