Oracle 8i on Redhat Linux

unable to run dbassist and unable access sqlplus from Server. please letme know how to set the DISPLAY and Xhost variable which is required run dbassist. error _X11Transockert INETconnect: cannot connect: errno=111

Radhakrishnan,
The DISPLAY variable is used by Xclients to set which Xserver they will display on. To set it use (assuming you are using bash):
To Run On Local Xserver
export DISPLAY=:0
* If you are running an Xsession this sould already be set.
To Run on Remote Xserver orasvr.myco.com
export DISPLAY=orasvr.myco.com:0.0
Also, If you will be using a remote Xserver you must be sure to use the xhost app to allow the remote machine access to the Xserver by the following:
xhost + orasvr.myco.com
Hope this helps. If its any consideration, I would recommend not setting the DISPLAY variable to a remote machine to install Oracle. I have had problems with this in the past. The key is K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) :)

Installation of oracle 10g on RedHat Linux EE 3

Hi,
I am going to Install of oracle 10g on RedHat Linux EE 3, rigth now i am running oracle 9i on windows platform. I need following things:
-I want to export all my data from oracle 9i on windows. For this what is the best way should i transport my tablespace and install oracle 10g on linux and import them after creating db or should i simply export and import it from there.
-Is there any issues that i should look at before i transfer my database.
-We are a Industrial Laboratory and use scientific notation in our database. Would this import export can takecare of all the things or should i set some character set setting before import/export.
-Any thing else if you thing that i should take care.
Thanks & Regard
Rashid K.K

You cannot use transportable tablespace. Platform independent transportable tablespace run only on newer versions (10g). You have to create the tablespaces on you linux machine and than exp/imp (full=y).

Installation of Oracle 9i on Redhat Linux 7.3

Hi.
I'm trying to install oracle 9i on Redhat Linux an facing some problems. To start with I had no problem in installing and creating the database, The listener.ora and tsnname.ora files created are similar to what i have on windows 2000( Since i was not able to make oracle working on linux, i tried installing on windows, so as to check and create database for temporary work.), But when i go to the console and type the commands: sqlplus /nolog it says bash: sqlplus:command not found.
2. When i try clicking sqlplus executable file in the bin directory, i get a message that 'Could'nt find the program'.
3. Where can i find the bash_profile file.
4.I'm able to run the database configuration assistant and create new databases without any error.
I would appreciate if some one can help me out.Also are there any special commands, for this is my first experience on linux.
Thanks
Pranav

If your shell is bash (which I guess it is) you need to set the environment variables either per user in a file called ~/.bash_profile (probably /home/oracle/.bash_profile) or globally by making a file /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh
you can list .files with ls -la
for now you can either type /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus or type
export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin
to add oracle to the path in your current session

Unable to Install Oracle 9i on redhat linux 9

Hi everybody,
I had been trying to install Oracle 9i on redhat linux 9 since last month and I am not able to succeed in installing the same. In fact I do not get to see even the OUI screen . I give below the steps I followed.
1) Setting of env varibles pertinent to oracle., say ORACLE_HOME,NLS_LANG etc.
2) PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin:.
3) export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
I have a set of 3 CD's for installation. As soon as I load the first CD. the runInstaller would run for sometime and stop, while I do the installation in the graphic mode.
When I try to install the same in the command line mode, I get to see something like the one below
Initializing java jre from /tmp/OraInstall0/... please wait.. and then it would come back to the command prompt.
I then invoke ps -ef | grep -i oracle to check if some process is running and I do get to see something. But ultimately nothing happens.
Please help me with this.

At Oracle Site we have a very good manual for 9i installation. Follow the manual step-by-step.
Your problem seems as a java or permissions issue.
good luck
Eduardo

Error in Installing Oracle 9i on RedHat LINUX 8.0

When I am trying to install Oracle 9i on RedHat LINUX 8.0 I am getting the Error message " CANNOT COPY INTO THE FILE aurora.zip". I just ignored this and i continued the Installation. But after some time (During installation in LINKING part) i am getting the error message ERROR IN INVOKING TARGET ctx_on OF MAKEFILE /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk
What shall i do for this?

are u sure that u can load Oracle 9i on Linux 8.0? i am aware that the three Linux distributions certified for Oracle 10g are:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8

Can you install Oracle 10g on REDHAT LINUX ENTERPRISE WS?

According to oracle documentation, it says you can install oracle10g on Redhat enterprise version 3 or 4, but it doesn't specify whether its Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS or WS. Can you install oracle 10g on Rehat Linux Enterprise WS?

Oracle Certificaction Matrices says only RedHat AS/ES is supported for database. AFAIK WS means workstation.
Also this link is very clear: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_61_1135.shtm
Besides the above sentences... If the WS installation is providing all required packages (listed in installtion prerequisites) I belive that Oracle DB could be installed on WS but as I (and the above link) said it is not officialy supported.

Oracle 9i for Redhat Linux 9

Hi
I have a P-III, 1Ghz 128MB RAM, 40GB HDD pc. There are two OS installed in it,i.e., Win200(prof)and Redhat Linux 9.
As I am undergoing a course in Oracle 9i DBA, I have installed a copy of Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition in my Windows partition and am practising on it. I want to install Oracle 9i in the Linux partition also, but I do not know which one to install. There are so many variants of Linux available for downloading.
As I am pretty new to the field of Linux and Oracle, I am very much confused.
If anybody could help me in figuring out the correct download for my file, it would be very great.
Thanks
Shoeb.

No. You have to follow the minimum requirements, which I think is 512MB of RAM.

When I install Oracle 9i on RedHat Linux 7.3 ...

Hello , everybody :
When I install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1) on Red Hat Linux 7.3 ,
I got an error when invoking the target of "install" in makefile : "ins_ctx.mk" ,
all of the message is "Error in invoking target install of makefile /oracle/product/9.2.0/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk"
and I edit the file "$ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk " , add a "$(LDLIBFLAG)dl" to the "INSO_LINK" ,
but there is still an error when I press "Retry" and "Retry" ...
Will it occur any error when I use Oracle 9i on Linux (because I press "Ignore") ?
Does somebody can tell me how to solve the problem ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Lai Yu-Tai,
I'd the same problem. You can fix the problem (fixing provided by Werner Puschitz, http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml):
"Error in invoking target install of makefile /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk"
I saw this error only in connection with Oracle 9i R2 (9.2.0) installation.
Also, this is the only problem I experienced with Oracle 9i R2 on Red Hat 8.0 (and 7.3 -MQ). But this does not necessarily mean that you won't see other problems described here.
The following errors showed up in $ORACLE_HOME/install/make.log:
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_addr@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_open@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_close@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_sym@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `_dl_vsym@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
It happens when the following step is executed:
/usr/bin/make -f ins_ctx.mk install ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0
Edit $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk and go to "INSO_LINK =", add a "$(LDLIBFLAG)dl" to the line and save it.
Here is the full line with the added "$(LDLIBFLAG)dl" flag:
INSO_LINK = -L$(CTXLIB) $(LDLIBFLAG)m $(LDLIBFLAG)dl $(Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

Installing oracle 9i on redhat linux 7.3

When i am installing oracle enterprise database i get the following error message -
"Not have enough space to write to /tmp/OraInstall/temp8. Please create more space
at this location and try again".
I have been facing this issue for the last week. Please help.

If you have free space on your hard drive or if you have another hard drive on your system where you have
free space, you can create a linux partition on that free space and then mount that partition onto your
/tmp directory. What this will mean then is that whatever you create/write into the /tmp directory, will
actually go into your newly created partition (which will have more space, thus solving your space problem).

Fast installation for oracle db under redhat linux 4 update 3

dear sirs...
i know little about linux, however, i create a simple script that will preform pre-installation operations for linux 4 update 3. it will update the files, create oracle user, and so on. you will find its source. if possible i hope someone can upgrade this script such that there it will check the OS packages, and stop the changes if any of the packages is missing.
thanks for any help and best regards.
notes:
1- to use this script, type the text in linux gedit. save it in a file and put the file in a safe place so that every time you want to install the db, you can find it ready.
2- do not use notepad to create the file, it will not work.
3- before you run the script, be sure that all packages needed by the db exists.
4- the script assumes that you have just installed linux for running the database only.
5- to run the script in linux , login as root user, and type . scriptfilename
6- the script should be executed only once.

Nice.
A fair chunk of additional work would go into this to ensure that existing settings are not clobbered, but it should be OK on a new install of Linux.
Why not require that they use the DVD (so you have all RPMs on one media), cd to the RPMS directory and simply 'rpm -i' all the prereq packages? Then you don't need to 'rpm -q' and inspect the status.

Oracle not available on redhat linux 7.0

Hello frineds ,
I successfully install oracle 9iAPS on RedHat Linux 7.0 , My purpose to run oracle 8.1.7
and it was done successfully , But getting a problem while creating database
1. :- dbassist and copy database from cdrom but at the end approximately 80 % to 82%
it give me error oracle not available or end-of-file on communication channel
2:- SVRMGRL while connection as internal/oracle and tried to create database it give me error like
ORACLE NOT AVAILABLE

Hi
At windows You must create a service to hadle oracle threads. On linux this is not working in same way, You do not need a "service" to bind thread or process to it.
simple set environment variables
and start sqlpus session with create database command, and so on.
Maybe You should read oracle admin guide for linux.
