Oracle Base vs. Software Location

Hi,
Is it OK to use different drive locations for Oracle Base and Oracle Software Location?
For example, if I make the Oracle Base point to E:\diag, and the Software Location point to C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1, would that cause any issues?
When I try this, I get the following message:
[INS-32018] The selected Oracle Home is outside of Oracle Base. Are you sure you want to continue?
Is there a reason I shouldn't do it this way?
thanks much,
Nora

Should oracle base directory be installed on share drive?

I am installing oracle 11g on a windows cluster and I want to know if I should point the oracle base to the share drive or the C drive?
Thanks

To minimize downtime during future upgrades, Oracle recommends that you use a separate Oracle home for each major component (for example, a separate Oracle home each for the database, application software, and Oracle Fail Safe).
Make sure you have exact same oracle home name and location in order to ensure a proper failover.
Other thing you need to consider is whenever you make any change in tnsnames.ora,sqlnet.ora,listener.ora or PWD file, you will need to replicate those changes to other node's oracle home as well.
I hope this answered your question.

Oracle Base in wrong place

hello,
As part of an upgrade to 11.2.02, I installed the binaries into a new home etc, and then upgraded the database. All appears to be working fine, BUT I made an error with the location of the Oracle Base during the install. Is it possible for me to move this, (and if so would some kind soul point me at the relevant documentation) or will i have to uninstall/re-install the binaries ?
Many thanks,
A

hi
I've never heard about moving oracle homes/bases.
Why bother with it if it works?
Rather you can install 11.2.0.2 in another good location and them move database (e.g. with expdp/impdp or RMAN).
I think you cannot easly reinstall to the old 11.2.0.1 home , only with downgrade option which by the way can make problems.

Issues with Oracle in a new location.

Hello -
I recently had to change the computer name of a Windows 2003 SP2 test server. Among other software installed was Oracle 10g r2. There were issues with Oracle in its new location where it was trying to reference the old computer name.
I assumed that all I would have to do to correct the issue was to search all of Oracle’s .ORA files and replace the old server name with the new one. (Plus, of course, changing the Windows Host file entry).
But I’m finding that Oracle on Windows apparently has many other references to the original computer name. For example, there are subdirectories in the Oracle Home directory tree structure where the directories themselves contain the old computer name. (I’ve attached a screenshot of a file search off the Oracle directory tree for “BRI2KSRV” which is the test server’s old name. “Bri2ksrv.jax.fnfis.com” was the server’s old fully qualified name. ORCL is/was the default instance name).
For example, these directories were found:
..\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bri2ksrv.jax.fnfis.com_orcl
..\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\log\bri2ksrv
..\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\oc4j\j2ee\OC4J_DBConsole_bri2ksrv.jax.fnfis.com_orcl
What are the recommended steps when changing the Windows computer name (and thus the fully qualified network references) on a Windows 2003 Server which has a functioning Oracle 10g R2 instance?
Thanks!

These directory you mentioned are EM control directory. You need to reconfigure your EM with new server name.
If you are using server name instead of IP address in listener.ora and tnsnames.ora you need to change these as well.

INS-32008 Oracle base vs user home

Hi,
Installing 11g R2 on Red Hat
(uname -a
Linux daniel3.wycliffe.org 2.6.32-279.9.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 31 09:04:24 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
Under 10.2, (and 10.1 and 9.2 etc...) we made the oracle account's home directory to be /u01/app/oracle, which is also our standard Oracle Base.
But the 11.2 installer doesn't seem to like this. We get:
[INS-32008] Oracle base location cant be same as the user home home directory. Are you sure you want to continue?
This message can "apparently" be ignored and we have successfully installed several no frills 11.2 databases. But why this warning? What is the potential issue here that is troubling the installer? I really want us to be doing things as standard as possible.
Thanks for any help here.

Hi,
OFA means Oracle Flexible Architecture and this is recommended oracle directory architecture for Oracle installation and storing files. After years of eperiences of customers of Oracle, Oracle corporation comes up with new recommendations to make product better and better.
In 11.g it is even not recommended to store oracle inventory under oracle base directory. So oracle inventory should be /u01/app/oraInventory and base directory should be /u01/app/oracle/
When you violate OFA, you receive a warning, but, still it will allow you to install anything any where on the file system.
Followig document may clear some of your doubts.

HT1218 After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
Is there a way to resolve this issue?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

Most probably you have hit this issue:

Actually the answer is it's a big organization, not that easy to upgrade to latest version. So currently using the old one.
They didn't find it so difficult to upgrade the OS to a bleeding edge version .... so why do they find it difficult to upgrade the Oracle client? Are they also running MS Office 95, "because it's not so easy to upgrade"?
In big organizations, new desktops are built from an image, and that image can just as easily be built with a newer version of Oracle client, if need be.

Changing Oracle Base of OUI with Command line?

Hi all,
I'm trying install the latest version of the Oracle ODAC (11.2.0.1.2) on a Win-7 32bit machine. I have a batch file that works perfectly with XP SP3 that allowed me to use "set ORACLE_BASE=C:\oracle" in cmd and the directory would be reflected in the OUI, but this is not the case when I try the same thing on Win7. No matter what I try, the default oracle base is C:\app\<user>. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

this is not the case when I try the same thing on Win7which edition of Windows 7?

No Oracle database vault component found in Oracle database 10g software?

No Oracle Database Vault component found in Oracle database 10g software. Where can I get the Oracle Database Vault software(10g)?

Database Vault is not a include by default into the database server software. You have to install it in addition of the Database Server Software.
You can download it from :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database_vault/index.html
Note, you need to have "Oracle Label Security" and "Oracle Enterprise Manager Console" previously installed in your ORACLE_HOME.
Find out more in the install doc :
