Oracle 9i on Win2K Advanced Server

I wonder if anyone had simmilar problem?
When I run installer (either through autorun or manually) the cursor turns into hourglass for few seconds and then the program terminates with no error messages.
Good old P4 installer problem right?... Except I got dual P3
Went through the usual walkaround (copy to HDD, rename simcjit.dll, etc.
Run again, same result.
Downlaoded OUI, works fine untill the point where I click install... then terminates with no error messages
I have another machine right next to the W2K P3. This one is P4 WinXP. Installer runs out of the box, no workaround necessary.
Any idea, anyone?
Any help will be very much appriciated.

No that wasn't it. I have SP4 installed.
I did find out what was crashing installer.
If you got Dell computer with NVidia Video card and have Win2K - make sure you install the "Nvidia diaplay software update" when you run your "windows update".
I got no idea what video driver got to do with Oracle installation, but it works like a charm... Uninstall Nvidia - Oracle crashes, Install it back - Oracle runs.

Lock up during install on WIN2K Advanced Server

I am trying to install Oracle8i Personal Edition ver. 8.1.7 on Windows 2000 advanced server. When I try to install using the Universal Installer it locks up about 20% of the way through, with no error message. Is anybody aware of any known issues. Please Help.
Thank you

Oops, that was 512Meg , not 512K...
I've downloaded the 9.0.1 zip 9iFS_90110.zip (105,219,938 bytes)
and tried to install on 2 separate servers with no success.
I follow the install instructions:
"1. Launch the Oracle Universal Installer from the CD, located
in the following
path:
<CD-ROM>\install\win32\setup.exe "
..but nothing happens. There is a brief flurry of activity of
the drive, but nothings shows up in the Windows Task List and it
absolutely doesn't start... on either server. One is 512K which
might be tight but the other is 1G ram which ought to be
sufficient.
I can find no log entries or error messages.
The only anomoly I can see is that the downloaded zip file is
102,754 KB, not the 105,219,938 bytes advertised.
Any suggestions?

Installation problem on Win2K Advanced Server

I am getting the following error while installing the Java COM bridge:
"Error while registering J2EE Client Access services COM bridge registry keys."
Any suggestions on how to work around this?

A search for this error code produced a sizeable list: http://search.java.sun.com/search/java/index.jsp?qp=&nh=10&qt=Error+while+registering+J2EE+Client+Access+services+COM+bridge+registry+keys&col=javaforums&x=31&y=11

Meta5.1 installation on Win2k adv server

I have same problem with the original message.
Meta is 5.1 and DS is 5.1 also. There seemed
no problems during installation, but after rebooting followed by the installation, the fatal error message, httpd undifined error, occurred, consequently, the meta admin instant was not loaded.
I tried other three win2k server box, but I got always same error message

I have had no problems with my Win2k advanced server. I used it to check the AD connector (which sux bigtime!!) It works... ok.. "it functions as designed" grin
Dont forget you need two packages.. Directory Server and Meta. You need to install the iPlanet/SunOne directory server first.. and then install meta 5.1
The install process of meta will remind you to use a different install folder from the DS.
on my winbox I use iDS 5.1 sp2 and meta 5.1

Windows 2000 Advanced Server Service Pack 2 and Oracle 8.1

Hy,
I've got Oracle 8.1.6 instaled over an Windows 2000 Advanced Server user as a web server. Yesterday I updated it with the service pack 2 for windows 2000.
When I restarted the server after the install, the Oracle database services didn't start. They stay "Starting" but didn't finish to start. I tried to start them again but they were locked. I couldn't stop/restart them.
I had to uninstall the SP2. Then it works OK.
Is there any known problem with Oracle 8.1.6 and the SP2?
Thanks

When Oracle installs itself, it usually replaces one or more Windows system files with its own versions. Your SP2 installation probably replaced those files with originals and Oracle got confused.
The only solution I can think of is to install all the necessary SPs first and then Oracle (when possible).

Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server

We have a client that is running the 8.1.7 server on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server. The database service is set to start automatically, but every time the server reboots the database service says that it is started, but when we try to access the database we get a message that says "Oracle not available". After we go into the DBA Studio and manually open the database everything works fine (until we have to reboot again). Are there any known issues with 8.1.7 and 2000 Advanced Server? Is there some configuration setting that we could be missing that will get the database to automatically start like it is supposed to?
Thanks in advance for any help,
David L. England,
Software Engineer, AlphaCorp

They are using a static IP and the network was all setup before we installed Oracle. I think we have the local System account starting the service. Is the right to start the database something we need to assign to the local System account or should we be using a different account?
I don't remember ever having to go into the service and change anything on any system we have setup before, but this is the first 2000 Advanced Server we have done.
Thanks,
David

hi,
I am trying to install oracle 9i rel2 on red hat adv server 2.1
Installation and Linking looks fine and during configuration ,
the database configuration assistant fails with 'End of Communication channel'.
This makes the software not usable as we get the same error while trying to connect to the database too..
any ideas?Check the "Oracle Installation Errors" section at
http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml
In this section I explain what I did about the
"end-of-file on communication channel" error
on RH AS.
Any feedback on this problem and solution is appreciated.

Oracle 9i patches for linux 4.0 Advance server

how do i download the required patches of oracle 9i for linux 4.0 Advanced server. I am 9i oracle certified professional. Currently I am not working. how it is possible for me to dowload pathces through www.metalink.oracle.com or is there any other way to get that.
Thanx in anticipation.
REKHA BHANDARI
OCP (9i) - DBA

As far as I can tell, the only way to patch Oracle installations for security or flaw updates is to hand-deliver bags of cash to Mr. Ellison. I was excited to see that they now offer a free developer license for the initial install, however, developers need to work with patched versions as well to ensure compatibility.
To anyone at Oracle that may read this: Is there a way for developers to download security and flaw patches without using Metalink? If Metalink is the only option, is it still out of the price range of non-corporate or government entities?
Thanks,

Installing Oracle 8i client tools on Windows 2K Advanced Server SP2

I am having issues with installing Oracle 8i client tools on W2K Advanced Server SP2. The CD I have is labeled Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition, Release 3 (8.1.7) Win NT/2000 CSI# 2224188. The error message I get is that a dependency exist on having ORACLE.SWD.JRE 1.1.8.10.0 installed and the universal installer cant find it. The disk has a folder named ORACL.SWD.JRE with a subfolder named 1.1.7.30 which leads me to believe that the version of the file that shipped with this media is version 1.1.7.30.
Questions:
1. Why would Larry ship a CD with the wrong version of a file...just venting.
2. Where do I get the correct version?
3. How do I install it?
Any help would be appreciated.

Oracle8i on PIV
If you have Pentium IV do following: find file symcjit.dll file in the oracle installation folder and rename it to symcjit.old.
try to run setup.exe located in the install/win32 folder.
Oracle9i on W2K
Install service pack 2 or higher
Virtual memory between 800 and 900 MB ( Recommended )
if for any cause setup.exe does not make anything,
try to make click on autorun.exe

The problem is that 9.2.0.1 is not even certified for Windows 2008, and has been de-supported a long time ago.
This means with respect to this release you are on your own.
Oracle 10.2.0.4 is also not anymore in premier support, so Oracle won't address any new problems.
You may want to switch to 11gR2 or to downgrade the server to Windows XP. Windows XP however is out of support too.

Company is thinking to migrate oracle db to Postgres plus advance server

Dear all,
We are running with Oracle 11g/10g servers in RAC environment and now company is thinking for going Postgres Plus advance server.
I want to know how much this feasible? if any one has experience.
Or what kind of difficulty may come
My database size would be around 3 to 4 TB
Its online trasaction processing and 24/7 application.
Frond end may be Java. (EJB/struds/Hibernate)
Thanks

I want to know how much this feasible? if any one has experience.
Or what kind of difficulty may come The choice of a database is not a purely technical one. It will depend on
many factors - the principal one being available expertise. If you
have PostgreSQL expertise to hand, then by all means use that
database.
Mogens Nørgaard (founder member of the Oak Table http://www.oaktable.net/)
and a member of the Oracle community of considerable standing said in
the book Oracle Insights says that only the eBays and UPS's of this world
need database features beyond Oracle 7.3.
PostgreSQL certainly has a feature set well beyond that spec.
My database size would be around 3 to 4 TB
Its online trasaction processing and 24/7 application.
Frond end may be Java. (EJB/struds/Hibernate)Your programming environment is irrelevant - all databases have JDBC connectivity
and can work with all major development environments.
Your decision should not be about this - development frameworks change every
two-three years - your data is forever.
My own opinion is that Oracle is overkill for many of the applications for which it
is used - very expensive licencing - don't get me wrong - Oracle is a very impressive
database with a huge number of features that would cost a fortune to implement in-house
(which "tragically" is what many companies try to do).
I don't know the ins and outs of your own application and how much use you make
of Oracle's features - if you can get the same functionality from PostgreSQL for
less money, then go for it, just recognise if there is functionality that you use that
you might have to reimplement if it's not native to PostgreSQL.
DIY database functionality is guaranteed* to be buggy and cause nothing but headaches.
I have refused work in the past with companies that have their own "proprietary"
(they use words like "efficient", "productive" and "customisable"). The problems are that
if you have a problem/issue/bug you can't Google - you're up the creek, but with
PostgreSQL there is a solid user community.
Report back here after you've gone through the process and let people know how it
went - the positives and the negatives - I'd certainly be interested in hearing how the
process turned out for you.
