Oracle 8i with Slackware 8

I am having difficulty getting Oracle 8i installed on Slackware 8. I have created the links for both /bin/free and /bin/awk.
Does anyone have any insight into installing this version of the database server on this distribution of Linux?
Thanks

can any one advised me if i used slackware 10 or suse...how this will be impract as compare to red hat...anyurl any suggestions apprecited in advanced GURUS
thanks and kind regards,

You can install Oracle software on non redhat or suse platforms (i think with 10g CentOS is supported too), but with for a production platform you would like support to be able to help you...
Personally I always use CentOS for development systems...

Installing Multiboot Distros with Slackware

Dear all,
I’m trying to install a multiboot with multi distros, in this case Slackware and Linux Oracle. I have Slackware running for a while now and try to install it in other partition. Suppose I have Slackware in /dev/hdb and planning to install Oracle Linux in /dev/sda. My plan is:
1.     Format /dev/sda
2.     Install Oracle Linux in /dev/sda using boot disk
3.     Modify lilo.conf
4.     Run dual boot
But the problem is during the Oracle Linux boot installation:
1.     It doesn’t recognize the partition and file format that Slackware did in /dev/sda
2.     The installation disk then force me to create another partition for memory swap and root directory
3.     At first attempt I created a partition in /dev/sda with RAID format which didn’t get recognized by Slackware so that I had it wiped out at the next attempt of installation.
4.     Just before the process of partitioning /dev/sda, Oracle Linux installer from the boot disk cannot detect my dvd drive although the PC was booted from its very drive (Why?) so It was asking me if I need to point out the location of another copy of the image file, which is located in /dev/sda1. The installer read it from /dev/sda1, I think not from DVD drive. This always happens in all attempts.
5.     At the end, it cannot finish the process of the installation and I have to abort it, without knowing the reason for it. This happens in all attempts also.
Now I have the problem with slackware:
1.     The tty is messed up that makes me unable to login to KDE, it freezes whenever I try to login.
2.     The KDE configuration has changed for some reason.
My question is:
I need a strategy to fix my damage and install the multi boot and at this point I really need some input from outside.
Please help,
Val

The entire distro was on 2 stiffies. Slackware is of course called that ("+slack+") after the Church of the Sub-Genius slogans about pinks and slack.. {noformat} :-) {noformat}
1.     Format /dev/sda
2.     Install Oracle Linux in /dev/sda using boot disk
3.     Modify lilo.conf
4.     Run dual bootLilo is an old boot loader and not as good as Grub. Also, when installing Oracle Linux, it should install Grub by default (this will overwrite Lilo in the MBR) - and automatically update the grub.conf with additional boot options (one of which should enable you to boot Slackware).
But the problem is during the Oracle Linux boot installation:
1.     It doesn’t recognize the partition and file format that Slackware did in /dev/sdaWhat file system are you using for Slackware? And why /dev/sda? You've indicated that Slackware is in /dev/hda and that /dev/sda was formatted?
4.     Just before the process of partitioning /dev/sda, Oracle Linux installer from the boot disk cannot detect my dvd drive although the PC was booted from its very drive (Why?) so It was asking me if I need to point out the location of another copy of the image file, which is located in /dev/sda1. The installer read it from /dev/sda1, I think not from DVD drive. This always happens in all attempts.Will have to see the bootlog to diagnose this error.
Now I have the problem with slackware:
1.     The tty is messed up that makes me unable to login to KDE, it freezes whenever I try to login.
2.     The KDE configuration has changed for some reason.This will only have happened if you installed Oracle Linux into the same partition(s) that Slackware was on - as a separate install of Oracle Linux and dual booting Slackware and Oracle Linux will not cause tty and KDE problems.
My question is:
I need a strategy to fix my damage and install the multi boot and at this point I really need some input from outside.I would backup all that I need backed up. And do a format and clean install of Kubuntu 11.4 (which is the o/s Firefox is running in as I type this). In the old days it was fun to hack Linux, build your own kernels and so on. But I do not see the relevance of that today anymore for the majority of Linux users. Also, I do not see why one should use something like Oracle Linux (a server distro) for a desktop.. especially not as Ubunutu/Kubuntu is setting the standards for what a desktop distro should be.
I'm running Oracle XE on it too - so it is also capable of running server side software (within the constraints of a desktop h/w platform of course). And despite being an old Slackware user, I would not swap Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE) for any other distro (despite my personal preference for RedHat based distros and not Debian based ones).

Problem when trying to refresh oracle screens with latest data

hello experts,
i have one problem,i want to refresh the oracle screen with the latest data from the data
base.
It is a two stage process.At first step one user will select a row from the screen and then he will press a button .
now the second screen will appear and the detail of the employee will be displayed.
First step has been completed and the data is coming in the second form via parameters and i can see the full information of the employee.
Now i want to refresh the oracle form i.e. suppose if my dba has made any changes in the oracle table( EMP table) i want that after pressing the refresh button user can see the
latest data from the database.
in WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger i have written this codes.
enter_query;
execute_query;
but they are not giving the expected result.
And one more thing please suggest whether in the second form i should use database item
or non database item.
When i am using database item when i am trying to close second from one pop up is appearing
and asking that whether i want to save the changes.
please suggest how can i remove this message from my application.
Regards
Anutosh

Hi,
what data did you transfer via parameters to the second form ?
how did you populate the datablock in the second form ?
Typical solution would be:
(For my example the block is both forms is named EMP, and is based on the table SCOTT.EMP)
In Form 1, transfer the primary key-value of the current record to a global or parameter (will use global in my example):
e.g. you have a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED-Trigger with the following code:
<pre>
:GLOBAL.EMPNO:=:EMP.EMPNO;
CALL_FORM('FORM2');
</pre>
In Form 2, you have a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE-Trigger with code:
<pre>
DEFAULT_VALUE('GLOBAL.EMPNO', NULL);
IF :GLOBAL.EMPNO IS NOT NULL THEN
GO_BLOCK('EMP');
EXECUTE_QUERY;
:GLOBAL.EMPNO:=NULL;
END IF;
</pre>
On block EMP in Form 2 there is a PRE-QUERY-Trigger with following code:
<pre>
IF :GLOBAL.EMPNO IS NOT NULL THEN
:EMP.EMPNO:=:GLOBAL.EMPNO;
END IF;
</pre>
And at last, in your refresh-button would be the following code:
<pre>
:GLOBAL.EMPNO:=:EMP.EMPNO;
GO_BLOCK('EMP');
EXECUTE_QUERY;
:GLOBAL.EMPNO:=NULL;
</pre>
Hope this helps

How to use Oracle partitioning with JPA @OneToOne reference?

Hi!
A little bit late in the project we have realized that we need to use Oracle partitioning both for performance and admin of the data. (Partitioning by range (month) and after a year we will move the oldest month of data to an archive db)
We have an object model with an main/root entity "Trans" with @OneToMany and @OneToOne relationships.
How do we use Oracle partitioning on the @OneToOne relationships?
(We'd rather not change the model as we already have millions of rows in the db.)
On the main entity "Trans" we use: partition by range (month) on a date column.
And on all @OneToMany we use: partition by reference (as they have a primary-foreign key relationship).
But for the @OneToOne key for the referenced object, the key is placed in the main/source object as the example below:
@Entity
public class Employee {
@Id
@Column(name="EMP_ID")
private long id;
@OneToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name="ADDRESS_ID")
private Address address;
EMPLOYEE (table)
EMP_ID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME SALARY ADDRESS_ID
1 Bob Way 50000 6
2 Sarah Smith 60000 7
ADDRESS (table)
ADDRESS_ID STREET CITY PROVINCE COUNTRY P_CODE
6 17 Bank St Ottawa ON Canada K2H7Z5
7 22 Main St Toronto ON Canada L5H2D5
From the Oracle documentation: "Reference partitioning allows the partitioning of two tables related to one another by referential constraints. The partitioning key is resolved through an existing parent-child relationship, enforced by enabled and active primary key and foreign key constraints."
How can we use "partition by reference" on @OneToOne relationsships or are there other solutions?
Thanks for any advice.
/Mats

Column not found error while populatin a oracle table with ODI USer

Hi,
I am trying to populate a column in a oracle table with the ODI USER name using the function getUser("USER_NAME") in the Mapping column of the Interface, But the interface throwhing an error *Column not found : Supervisor in Statement [Select......]*. but it's working fine with getUser("I_USER') the column is populating the user identifier.
can any one help me out why user is not populating.
Thanks

Enclose the call to the getUser api inside single quotes
'<%=getUser("USER_NAME")%>'ID being a number can be used directly but USER_NAME returns a string that needs to be quoted

Uploading a file (.doc, .xls, .txt) into an Oracle table with BLOB column

Hello All :
I have been trying to figure out for a simple code I can use in my JSP to upload a file (of any format) into an Oracle table with a BLOB column type. I have gone through a lot of existing forums but couldnot find a simple code (that doesnot use Servlet, for eg.) to implement this piece.
Thanks a lot for your help !!

Hi.
First of all to put a file into Oracle you need to get the array of bytes byte[] for that file. For this use for example FileInputStream.
After you get the byte array try to use this code:
        try {
            Connection conn = myGetDBConnection();
            PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO table1 (content) VALUES(?)");
            byte[] content = myGetFileAsBytes();
            if (content != null) {
                pstmt.setBinaryStream(0, new ByteArrayInputStream(content), content.length);
            pstmt.close();
            conn.close();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }or instead of using ByteArrayInputStream try pstmt.setBinaryStream(0, new FileInputStream(yourFile), getFileSize());Hope this will help...

Upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation

Hi Friends,
I am new to ODI. I have encountered a problem which is specific to ODI 11G (11.1.1.6.3) to upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation. Would you please teach me how to implement the following requirement in ODI 11G?
Input text file a:
staffCode, staffCat, status, data
input text file b:
staffCodeStart, staffCodeEnd, staffCat
temp output oracle table c:
staffCat, data
output oracle table d:
staffCat, data
order:
a.staffCode, a.staffCat, a.status
filter:
a.status = ‘active’
join:
a left outerjoin b on a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
insert temp table c:
c.staffCat = if b.staffCat is not null then b.staffCat else a.staffCat
c.data = a.data
insert table d:
if c.staffCat between 99 and 1000 then d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = sum(c.data)
else d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = LAST(c.data)
Any help on fixing this is highly appreciated. Thanks!!
Thanks,
Chris

Dear Santy,
Many thanks for your prompt reply. May I have more information about the LAST or SUM step?
I was successful to create and run the following interfaces p and q
1. Drag text file a to a newly created interface panel p
2. Filter text file a : a.status = ‘active’
3. Lookup text file a to text file b : a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
4. Drag oracle temp table c to interface panel p
5. Set c.staffCat : CASE WHEN b.staffCat IS NULL THEN a.staffCat ELSE b.staffCat END
6. Set c.data : a.data
7. Drag oracle temp table c to a newly created interface panel q
8. Drag oracle table d to interface panel q
9. Set UK to d.staffCat
10. Set Distinct Rows to table d
11. Set d.staffCat = c.staffCat
12. Set d.data = SUM(c.data)
However, the interface q should be more than that:
If c.staffCat is between 99 and 1000, then d.data = the last record c.data; else d.data = sum(c.data)
Would you please teach me how to do the LAST or SUM steps? Moreover, can interface p and interface q be combined to one interface and do not use the temp table c? Millions thanks!
Regards,
Chris

How to install Oracle 10g with its grid functionality on Linux?

Well, I thought changing the subject line might help to convey the meaning of what I want better. Here's my earlier post from a few hours earlier.
Hi,
I need carry out TPC-C benchmarking test for Oracle 10g (using one, two and four servers; basically using the grid in case of multiple servers). I have installed oracle 10g (with default options) on all the four servers, but beyond that I have no idea as to how can I invoke the grid option in order to carry out the tests-by my statement, I mean do I need to choose grid option while installing Oracle or is it the case that I specify the grid option in the code that I write for carrying out the tests. The OS is LInux (Scientific Linux).
An unrelated problem-one of the servers is 64 bit while others are 32 bit, and proper versions of oracle have been installed. Neglecting the obvious fact that this will make comparisons difficult does anyone anticipate any other problem?
Many Thanks!
Steve

Do you think that the installation of RAC can be done
in a week? yes, as long as you know what you are doing and can catch the concept quickly and good at following instructions.
Moreover, we do not have a cluster-all we
have are four servers that are separate. Do you know
if the name Real Application Clusters implies that
the servers have to be in a cluster?
The basic idea of RAC is all these hosts need to share same set of storage. The most popular such storage are SAN and NAS.

Best practice for integrating oracle atg with external web service

Hi All
What is the best practice for integrating oracle atg with external web service? Is it using integration repository or calling the web service directly from the java class using a WS client?
With Thanks & Regards
Abhishek

Using Integration Repository might cause performance overhead based on the operation you are doing, I have never used Integration Repository for 3rd Party integration therefore I am not able to make any comment on this.
Calling directly as a Java Client is an easy approach and you can use ATG component framework to support that by making the endpoint, security credentials etc as configurable properties.
Cheers

Error when connecting an oracle DB with Integration gateway

I followed the steps from the blog How to connect an Oracle DB with Integration Gateway in SMP3 and the ojdbc was deployed successfully to SMP. Still, i'm getting "Driver class oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver not found" error message when i try to test my connection. The first difference i saw when completing these steps was that I'm using SMP3 SP05, could this be the issue?

Joao D Franco Net
Could you share below information:
Can you cross check if deployed driver are OSGi enabled? Refer this.
Can you share screenshot of the destination settings and error ?
note: The blog you followed is referring to SP03 (1st GA of SMP3)..You should not have any problem in connecting to Oracle DB being on any SP.
