Oracle 8i with Windows ME

Yikes! I have tried to install Oracle 8i Personal on Windows ME
and get the following error: "Jrew has caused and error in
JAVAI.DLL Jrew will now close.". I modified my win.ini
[compatiblity95] jrew=0x00080000 and it STILL doesn't install.
Any suggestions ?!?! Thanxs !!

All,
Normally I just help with pl/sql Q&A forum but being a Friday I thought I might check this forum to see what issues are happening here. I'm seeing this question ALLOT of what is the solution to get Oracle (oracle 7.x thru to 9.x) to both install and run on Windows ME (and even win950b). I have not tried this yet myself but I would have assumed that it would install no problem. From what I've been seeing it's the installer (now all java, NO idea why) that's bombing. So for you folks reading this and if you can help, what are the exact instructions to get Oracle to install on Windows ME/95? Thus far I've seen this some someone one ...
Common Error : Jrew has caused and error in JAVAI.DLL Jrew will now close.
Solution : Change/add in WIN.INI ... [compatiblity95] jrew=0x00080000
Some has said they tried this and it didn't work either. I would like to see a solution to this as I have no intention of doing win nt, 2k, or XP either. Even if someone can post the solution to above error, what are all the errors and all the work arounds to get Oracle (yes from 7.x thru 9.x) to install on Win ME/95? Please post some responses as I know allot of people out there have been asking for this.
Have a great weekend folks and thanks for helping on this one if you can !

Oracle EBS with Windows vista

I recently brought HP laptop, which came with windows vista OS. I can't go back to XP. Drivers does not support any other OS.
Did any body try installing oracle apps version 11 down loaded from oracle site.
Please advise me!!!

Oracle E-Business Suite 11i/R12 is not yet certified on Microsoft Vista.

Performance problems on a Oracle 11G with Windows 2008 64bits.

Hi everyone,
I have noticed that our db is going low and low every week. My server has 16GB RAM and 10GB are dedicated to the Oracle database, this is a 11.2.0.1 with Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64bits. I like to know acording to the nexts values what you guys recommend to adjust in the init.ora:
orcl.__db_cache_size=5402263552
orcl.__java_pool_size=33554432
orcl.__large_pool_size=33554432
orcl.__pga_aggregate_target=3657433088
orcl.__sga_target=6878658560
orcl.__shared_io_pool_size=0
orcl.__shared_pool_size=1308622848
orcl.__streams_pool_size=33554432
*.memory_target=10511974400
*.open_cursors=5000
*.optimizer_mode='RULE'
*.processes=300
Acording to the memory target on how values can be increased the processes, pga_agregate_target, etc.
Also we have problems related to the bug Bug 9593134 that “Connections to Oracle 11g are slow and can take anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes.” there is a fix on linux by removing the dns names on it but anyone have experience on windows platforms?
Thanks for all and sorry for my english.
Regards.
Arturo.

Regarding the long connection times, have you tried using network packet capture software (such as Wireshark) to determine what the client computer is doing when a connection attempt is initiated?
The Oracle Database time model statistics, along with the system wide wait events may help you diagnose the non-connection related performance issues (you should not just look at the statistics, but instead capture the current values, wait a period of time, capture the statistics again, and compare the changes in the statistic values). A statspack report might also help you - but a 10046 trace at level 8 or 12 is more appropriate if you are able to identify a couple of sessions that experience performance problems.
I do not suggest just blindly modifying parameters, although I am curious to know:
* Why the session level parameter OPEN_CURSORS is set to 5000 - do you expect a single session to hold open 5,000 cursors?
* Why are you using the deprecated RULE based optimizer?
* Why is the MEMORY_TARGET parameter used when the SGA_TARGET and PGA_AGGREGATE target are specified?

Oracle startup with Windows

We have Oracle 10g (x64) installed on a Windows XP Pro x64 computer, along with ASM. When the computer reboots, both instances start up, but the database instance doesn't actually open the database on startup. So far, I've checked some registry settings (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_OraDb10g_home2) to make sure that autostart was set to true (which it was). I don't know of anything else to check or change to get the database to actually fully start with Windows. We're having this problem with several computers and I'm hoping somebody can help.

We're having this problem with several computers and I'm hoping somebody can help.My word you've had some interesting answers. Oracle provides the ORADIM utility as mentioned already to manage oracle database services on windows. You can see the syntax by issuing the command on it's own in a cmd window - eg
ORADIM: <command> [options]. Refer to manual.
Enter one of the following command:
Create an instance by specifying the following options:
     -NEW -SID sid | -SRVC srvc | -ASMSID sid | -ASMSRVC srvc [-SYSPWD pass]
[-STARTMODE auto|manual] [-SRVCSTART system|demand] [-PFILE file | -SPFILE]
[-SHUTMODE normal|immediate|abort] [-TIMEOUT secs] [-RUNAS osusr/ospass]
Edit an instance by specifying the following options:
     -EDIT -SID sid | -ASMSID sid [-SYSPWD pass]
[-STARTMODE auto|manual] [-SRVCSTART system|demand] [-PFILE file | -SPFILE]
[-SHUTMODE normal|immediate|abort] [-SHUTTYPE srvc|inst] [-RUNAS osusr/ospass]
Delete instances by specifying the following options:
     -DELETE -SID sid | -ASMSID sid | -SRVC srvc | -ASMSRVC srvc
Startup services and instance by specifying the following options:
     -STARTUP -SID sid | -ASMSID sid [-SYSPWD pass]
[-STARTTYPE srvc|inst|srvc,inst] [-PFILE filename | -SPFILE]
Shutdown service and instance by specifying the following options:
     -SHUTDOWN -SID sid | -ASMSID sid [-SYSPWD pass]
[-SHUTTYPE srvc|inst|srvc,inst] [-SHUTMODE normal|immediate|abort]
Query for help by specifying the following parameters: -? | -h | -helpThe above from a 10.2 database install gives you the clue that
1) You don't need to delete and recreate, you'll be able to edit the service.
2) The current parameter for the password for sysdba access is -SYSPWD though in older versions it was -INTPWD.
In addition you should certainly check the Oracle alert log for errors on attempted startup, and the oradim.log for errors encountered when the database itself is started by oardim (you'll find this in %ORACLE_HOME%\database . If I were guessing then I'd hazard a guess that the ASM instance was not fully open before the database was started. The alert log will tell you that.
If you do find it's the ASM problem then a couple of solutions present themselves.
1) don't rely on automatic start, but set the services to manual and then schedule a shell script at startup that starts the services using "net start servicename"
2) Edit the OracleServiceSID to make it dependent on the ASM service using the procedure in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193888

Oracle Lite on Windows CE

It is given in documentation that
"Java stored procedures and triggers, and the Oracle Lite JAC and JDBC interfaces are currently not supported on Windows CE" is
there is any other way to accomplish this task. I want to access Oracle Lite database
and perform advance replication thr java program on Windows CE platform.
null

This may be helpful (if you still need it)
In order to use Oracle Lite with Windows CE, I had to write a dll using the libraries and dll's from oracle that were compiled for Windows CE (depending on your processor type: MIPS, SH3, SH4 are supported) There are also sample applications (with source code) that I used to help write the dll. If you install Oracle Lite on a Win32 system, the source code for the sample applications is under /<oracle dir>/lite/pda40/wince and then look under the appropriate processor type.
I am still working on getting Replication to work from the CE device. I am focusing on HTTP replication, but if you have any idea of how to replicate at all from CE....

Install oracle 8.0.6 with Windows 2000

hello all,
today we have oracle 8.0.6 on NT Server ...
we need install the same release oracle 8.0.6 on new IBM server, with Windows 2000 Server ...
we are looking information about differences between config oracle 8.0.6 in NT Server and Windows 2000 Server
thanks in advance
rodolfo

My tnsnames.ora file is using SID and not SERVICE NAME.
The configuration is the same as the other NT server I am using, this is actually a new server we are trying to replace the production with. The only difference is the OS so far. I looked at all the configuration files and the only error I get is that TNS 12203 error when I try to connect to Oracle.
When I try from any client it does the same thing, TNS 12203 and no connection to database.
Could it be the OS, or does anyone know anyone that has Oracle 8.0.6 on a 2003 Server Box.
Thanks for your help guys.

Linking Oracle Process id with windows process id

hi,
i am using oracle database 11g(11.1.0.6.0) in windows 2003 server. i have an oracle session established through an application server. i have found the process id of that session by comparing the v$session and v$process tables. Now i want to compare this process id with windows os process id. i have checked the process id in the windows task manager of the application server from where the oracle session is established,but the process id is not present. Even i checked in the windows task manager of the database server where the database is installed, even there i am not able to find this session process id. Can anyone help me out in this????
Regards,
007

Sybrand has pointed you in the right direction - each session is a thread in the database instance's process. That makes it a little difficult to see the performance characteristics of a single session from the operating system. However, with WMI calls (WQL) from the operating system, you can associate the threads in the database instance's process with the actual resource usage of that thread, and then using regular SQL statements drive back into V$SESSION for additional information. See this 2 part series:

RMAN Automatic backup/recovery with oracle fail safe, windows cluster

Hello,
I have question,
1) Whether it is possible to do "RMAN Automatic Backup and recovery" in environment as ?
Environment: -
a. Windows clustering with windows server 2003 Enterprise Edition R2 (Two Node Clustering)
b. Shared disk ( RAID )
c. Oracle 10g standard edition one
d. Oracle fail safe v3.3.3 (for redundancy)
Here we have single oracle instance operating on single database whose files are located on shared disk.
2) If answer to above question is yes please specify if there is some good documentation to it.
Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rahul

You just need to make sure that the RMAN scripts are always able to connect to the target database instance whether instance runs on cluster node 1 or cluster node 2
here, If oracle services(resources) will shift from Node1 to Node2 (due to media or any failure) during RMAN Backup then there will be break in connection, will it destroy my backup or will it get started automatically without any harm?
and also I want to know,
Do we need to setup another server which will have RMAN backup script running?

Compliance of Oracle 10g R2 with Windows XP SP2

Hello everybody
I am representing my company for making a decision of deploying appropriate versions for Oracle and Windows.
The vendor suggested Oracle 9 on Windows Server 2003, whereas we opted for deploying Oracle 10g R2 with Windows XP SP2.
According to the vendor
XP is not a true 'server' product and therefore does not provide many server functions and may have restrictions on numbers of users that can connect.
If the vendor's notion is correct, would anyone explain the limitations/restrictions of our solution.

One of the first problems that you will encounter, inbound connections limit in Windows XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314882
Memory allocations are handled differently between Windows 2003 and XP (paged pool, non-paged pool, file system caching, etc.):
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778.aspx
In some cases the memory allocation differences can cause XP to display errors indicating "unable to allocate memory from the paged pool" or the non-paged pool, when Windows 2003 would otherwise continue functioning without problem. Windows 2003 offers a registry change to work around this problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312362
Microsoft will stop making Windows XP available for resale in June 2008, except on extremely light-weight computers, and update support will end before update support ends for Windows 2003.
There are typically differences in the hardware that ships with a computer loaded with Windows XP and one that ships with Windows 2003. You will have a hard time finding a computer with Windows XP that ships with redundant power supplies, dual backplanes, SCSI RAID 10 support, dual network interfaces, built-in system/diagnostics, etc.
While Windows 2003 is the server equivalent of Windows XP, there are many features in Windows 2003 that are not available in Windows XP. XP is designed to be rebooted frequently (shut down every night, or reboot once a week or once a month) and is geared toward foreground application performance. Windows Server 2003 is designed to be rebooted infrequently (apply security updates, recover from rare system fatal bugs) and is geared toward providing good background application performance (the Oracle database instance would be a background application).
If you are unfamilar with Windows Server 2003, take a look at the books "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Administrator's Companion" by Microsoft Press and "Mastering Windows Server 2003" by Sybex. Compare what you find in those books with what you might find in Microsoft's Windows XP Resource Kit book.
