Oracle Announces Oracle9i Database for IBM Linux/390

Hi Folks,
Check out the following URL for the announcement, which went out this morning (March 18, 2002 at 8:00am Eastern).
http://www.oracle.com/corporate/press/index.html?1270638.html
Also, we've had a report that the Oracle9i Database Developer's Release for Linux/390 works on TurboLinux. I'll post distribution version information when I've received it.
Barry

From reading the other messages in this forum I now know that I'm not alone.
I was lucky enough to get a valid download for 9.2 database for linux but it took
a number of tries. It would be helpful if there could be a number of published
mirror sites to try downloading from. Perhaps this is already implemented
transparently to the end user and it's just luck of the draw that you hit a mirror
that works...
However, I've been having problems downloading ora9ias for about 4 days now.
I'm probably making things worse for others because I've tried to download
disk 1 and 4 at least 3 times and keep getting files that are close to the stated
size but usually a few k bigger or smaller; then I get the invalid gzip file error
message from gunzip. I've tried downloading from IE 5.5, netscape (from both
windows and linux), trying various ways of downloading (holding shift, or right
clicking with save as) and still no luck.
I'll keep trying, but if anyone has any solutions please publish them to this forum.
thanks.

Oracle 8i for Linux 2.2 kernels (using glibc 2.1) is supposed to
be out the first part of June. I don't know what they will do
about 8SE and 8EE. Maybe supply patches? Anyway, Oracle is
aware of the problems associated with glibc 2.1 and is working on
it.
I installed Caldera Openlinux 2.2 and used a previously installed
Oracle 8EE installation. So far, it is working. I believe they
have said that it should work, but you may encounter a few
errors.
I believe that Oracle 8EE adds Partitioning and Objects. 8i is
made for use with the internet and allows you to create stored
procedures in Java. I have never used the product, but that is
my understanding of it.
I hope this helps.

Translation library for Oracle 8.1.6 on IBM oS/390

Has anyoune an idea about the translation library for accessing through ODBC an Oracle 8.1.6 installed on IBM OS/390?
The same driver works fine on Oracle 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris, but when I access the OS/390 Oracle I find "strange" character, certainly due to the EBCDIC-ASCII translation.
What have I to give as "translation library" and "translation option" in the driver configuration?
TIA

Starting the Oracle Intelligent Agent on Linux/390

I have recently installed Oracle Developer's Edition on SuSE Linux/390. When I try to start the Intelligent Agent, I get the following error.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think the Intelligent Agent is included with the developers release -
check the directory where it's supposed to be, I think you'll find it's not there.
You only need IA to start/stop the database from oem and schedule jobs.
I use OEM to control my instance and run performance packs etc, IA isn't needed for this.

There are two linux flavor:
1. Linux Client
The size of the Oracle9i Lite 5.0.1.0.1 release for Linux is 1.9MB. This includes Oracle Lite database, ODBC, JDBC, and utilities for RedHat 7.2 Intel Linux. Go to metalink/patch and search for patch # 2240530.
2. Linux Server
The 5.0.2 for Linux release includes Mobile Server for RedHat 7.2 Linux, but not the Linux client. This full release includes the entire server framework plus the Mobile Development Kit. Alltogether 250 MB.

Oracle9i Installation on SuSe Linux 7.3 Professional Edition

Hi,
I'm trying to Install Oracle 9i Database server on SuSe Linux 7.3 Professional Edition. I have gone throgh the Oracle 9i release notes for the Linux version. In the release notes document, in the OS Software Requirement section ( the following statement is mentioned as below ):
"The following executables must present in the /usr/bin directory : make, ar, ld, nm"
But after the Linux insalltion I found that only make executable is present and other doesn't. My doubt is, if I continue with the Oracle Installtion without these files does the installer cause any problems? If so how do I get these executables, as these executables doesn't exist in the "Software Installation" listing of SuSe 7.3 Professional edition?
Another doubt is, Does SuSe 7.3 Professional edition suitable for Oracle 9i Database server? I checked the Kernal version, it seems to be OK.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Thanks Girish. But all my findings says NO NO and NO.

Certify - Product Version and Other Selections: Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition On Linux x86-64 (AMD64/EM64T)
General Notes For Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition On Linux x86-64 (AMD64/EM64T):
Processor Chip Information:
Linux x86-64, support on AMD64/EM64T and Intel Processor Chips that adhere to the x86-64 architecture with supported Linux releases.
"Running Oracle 32-bit on AMD64/EM64T (64-bit OS) is not supported . "
Oracle 32-bit running on AMD64/EM64T with a 32-bit OS is supported, refer to platform Linux x86 for more information on product availability.
Note: As Ivan confirmed EM64T is mark for Intel 64 (x86-64) processors.
Even the metalink Note: 182999.1 says...
"A 32-bit application will work on both a 32-bit and 64-bit O/S, whereas a 64-bit application will only work on a 64-bit O/S."
but the same articel says
"Note: These statements do not necessarily apply to Oracle on Windows O/S's, Itanium or AMD64/EM64T based Platforms. See Certify for specific information."
and then I got update from Support. Even they Say....
"No it is not suggested that you run Oracle at 32 bits for a Linux X86_64 platform. This would not be a good idea"
I guess I need to sit with my senior DBAs and SA tomorrow to find the path forward...
Thanks all.

How do i give access to developer on Oracle ERP R12 database?

Hi
We have a developer joined in our team.He needs access to Oracle ERP R12 Database for developing some reports. For developing reports, he needs access to all database schema access either by sqlplus,developer 10g, plsql developer etc. Giving application developer responsibility will not solve the problem. I cannot give him apps password or other database accounts passwords.
I created apps_query (read only schema) based on this link http://oracle.anilpassi.com/read-only-schema-in-oracle-apps-11i.html, but he says cannot see or select objects from other schema like inventory, purchasing etc. I doubt his comments. What is the best way to protect and give 'select' privileges on all module database access?
Need suggestions.

We clone a special instance from our test/qa environment for the developers and give them the apps password (it does not have production data but is configured with the appropriate orgs, coa, etc.). It is on a separate server from our test, sandbox, training and obviously production environments. With 10-15 developers we have found this the easiest way to go. The developers get read only access accounts in our Production and Volume Test (clone of Prod) environments only on an as needed basis and only for a limited time.
We also do not give them UNIX access to the development server just sqlnet and ebusiness access. I wrote a utility that allows them to copy files (plsql, oa framework, workfow, etc) onto the server and compile with the appropriate tool. Once their development and unit testing is complete our change control process takes over to migrate the code into the test/qa enviroments for testing by the qa analysts...

Oracle9i for Linux/390 and Oracle9i for z/Linux

Hi,
For those who asked about testing on SLES7 and getting a trial copy of SLES7 (since it now costs money), apparently SuSE will furnish trial copies of their distribution. They can be obtained through the SuSE sales rep.
Barry

I too have managed to get oracle installed on RedHat 2.4.9-17 kernel (Linux/390). However, I am kinda stuck there - I am completely new to Oracle. Is there some basic literature available on things like how to see the database schema (I ran the "@mkdb" cmd in the installation process, and I guess that created some sample database)? or how to look at the table data? I tried the following:
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL*Plus: Release ...

SQL> connect scott/tiger@p901_tcp
Connected
SQL> select * from dba_users

SQL> help

Any pointers? thanx,

Oracle 9i Database for Linux

Hello,
I need to be able to test some software changes against an Oracle 9i database running under Linux as this is an environment used by one of my customers.
I have tried downloading the zip files found at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oracle9i/htdocs/linuxsoft.html but if I try to open or download any of these files I receive an Error 404 Page Cannot Be Loaded.
This happens when using IE6 or when using GetRight.
Are the links to these files still valid? If not, where can I download Oracle 9i Database for Linux?

I don't find any problems with these files and they are still available.
