Oracle database (10.2.0.4) and HTTP server / HTML DB conflict

Hi there,
I installed a fresh 10.2.0.1 (patched with 10.2.0.4) oracle database on Oracle Entreprise linux 5.7, and HTTP server + HTML DB products from the companion CD. Both are located in different home directory:
ODB: $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1
APEX: $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/apex
I just discovered that logs files ($APEX/opmn/logs/) have filled up my entire disk this week end. After some googling / digging, I've read that there is a conflict between the ONS services that run for both products on the same port. Opening the configuration files of both products:
+$ODB/opnm/conf/ons.config+
+$APEX/opnm/conf/opnm.xml+ (btw, ons.conf is empty)
I indeed saw that they both use port 6113 as local port and 6200 as remote port. The workaround I've found in variuos places is to either change the port number, or unsuscribe ONS for the database listener (and sometimes both).
Question 1: what is the best solution ? what are the consequences for the database listener in case of unsuscribtion ?
I also saw that opnm.xml in APEX configuration file is making use of the $ORACLE_HOME environment variable, which I define in my /etc/profile as $ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1. So I guess the opnm of APEX is looking at the wrong place... Yet if I change ORACLE_HOME in my /etc/profile, I won't be able to run dbstart upon stgartup, as it is run using ORACLE_HOME in a init.d script...
Question 2: Can someone clarify things up about the exact relationship between oracle database and HTTP server ? How should I deal with ORACLE_HOME environment variable, which one use it and when... ?
Note that I'm completely new to Oracle (and hence APEX).
Thanks in advance!

There should be no conflicts - except for configuration ones.
Oracle is multi home capable. Thus multiple Oracle s/w products installed into different homes and these products running side by side.
The conflict is system resources - like a TCP port. That port cannot be shared by multiple processes. So you need to make sure that each s/w component that needs a TCP listener end-point, has a unique port number allocated for it to use.
As mentioned, the Oracle Apache server is an Oracle client with respect to Oracle client-server architecture. It simply needs a client OCI driver to connect to the Oracle database instance. So whether you run Oracle Apache on the same server as the database instance, or on another server all together - this makes no difference. The Oracle Apache s/w will be using its home for running. It has no need for anything from the database instance's home directory. Thus there are no conflicts - as long as you correctly keep them separated and not set the wrong home for the wrong component or include the wrong path (to another home's executables).
OK, so to summarize a bit:
- I should just be carefull when running startup script which will launch all services upon startup, i.e. changing the value of ORACLE_HOME before running each product startup script (dbstart => ORACLE_HOME = (..)/10.2.0/db_1, opmnctl => ORACLE_HOME = (..)/apex). I'm still quite worried because ORACLE_HOME is heavily used in opmn.xml but anyways.
- That's basically it: when each product's services are running, they do not use ORACLE_HOME (and such) anymore, hence no conflict from this point of view.
Also do not attempt to use IPC connectivity between the mod_plsql Apache module and the database instance. Does not make sense ito performance. Shared server should be considered and localhost TCP connectivity can be used.Well as I don't really know IPC yet, so hopefully I won't get into troubles. Just to be clear about that, i've this in my listener.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = apex.nwk)(PORT = 1521))
Does that mean that ICP will be used somehow ?
Thanks again from your help.

User access logging for my Oracle database 9.2.0.3 and Linux server

Hi Friends,
I would like to have a record of users who had accessed my oracle apps database(9.2.0.3).Please let me know the method.
Also i would like to record the users who had connected to my linux server (using putty) please suggest a method.

Also i would like to record the users who had connected to my linux server (using putty) please suggest a method.Take a look in /var/log e.g. wtmp (if such file name exists, and use man command on the file names to learn their usage). Should at least help identify telnet/ssh sessions.

Error Message when installing Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP Server

Hi. First time forum user so bear with me.
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but the assistance of anyone who may be able to shed some light on the problem whould be greatly appreciated. I am having a problem when attempting to install the Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP Server, details given below:
The following Oracle components have been successfully installed
     Oracle 10gR2 Database.
     Oracle 10gR2 Database patch 10.2.03.
     Critical patch up date (security).
The following Oracle component failed to install.
     Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP server
Scenario leading up to failure
     Extracted companion CD installation files to D:\oracle\utilities\Oracle_10_2_0_Companion
     Executed D:\oracle\utilities\Oracle_10_2_0_Companion\companion\setup.exe.
The following error message is displayed in a "JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE LAUNCHER" dialog box
     "Could not find the main event class. Program will exit."
I have been attmepting to resolve this problem for over a week and have already checked the following with no resolution to the problem:
Cause. This issue may have to do with two issues (and may occur more on Windows):-
1. Within the ORACLE_HOME directory full pathname there is a space.
2. The directory from where the software / patch is being installed has a space within the directory full
pathname (where the file for the installation by default is named products.jar or products.xml).
Solution. To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:-
1. Rename the full pathname directory NOT to contain a space.
2. Launch again the OUI... and verify if the problem occurs.
Any further guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by: user10386555 on 03-Oct-2008 02:51

Can you install using OUI from the RDBMS installation? IIRC, there is a problem using OUI on companion to install companion items.

Study: Oracle database software has more flaws than SQL Server

Hi,
Study: Oracle database software has more flaws than SQL Server
Microsoft is often unfairly slammed for security issues, says NGSS

Post your comments on this stupid artical.
Thanks!

This is a case where size does matter.
When they say errors reported on oracle are about 4 times more than the ones reported on SQL server they forgot to say something like: SQL server is able to do... what a 10%, a 5% or whatever of what oracle can do.
Anyway who sayd this forgot to say that they worked with microsoft trying to improve SQL sever security features as well.
http://www.nextgenss.com/press-releases/ngs-and-the-sql-server-security-essential-guide/
They have a reason to say it. Who would say "I made a bad job!"
In my opinion there is no way yet to compare oracle to any other DBMS under any point of view.

Single Oracle Database repository to support SOA and OIM is it possible

Hi, I'd like to install and configure SOA and OIM and would like to know if I can use one database as the repository to support SOA Suite install and OIM install ?
In a development environment is it safe to install SOA Suite 11g and OIM 11g on the same server with all of its components? This is only for the development environment. Thanks

Hi,
I feel you can do it with single Oracle Database,check the below links:

Intermedia Database Agent and HTTP Server

this works when i use IIS 4.0, however it does not work when i

I think it would be helpful if you described the reason that you would like to do this.
I know that in some environments the powers that be will not install Apex on the database server.
In such an environment you could create a local Oracle instance and install Apex yourself and access
the database containing the data via dblinks. You'd have to be careful if you are processing lots of data
in such a setup.
I saw another response to your post and it looks like the person that responded assumed that you would install
apex into the daabase that keeps all the data. However, if ypur administrators will not install Apex (and I have
come across this) then you cannot follow that advice.

Oracle Database Vault vs Audit Vault and database firewall

Hi All,
I would like to know the main difference between Oracle Database Vault and Oracle Audit Vault and Database firewall.
I have read all the white papers and documents on them both and find them very similar in work process.
Only difference I see in the pricing.
I feel Oracle audit Vault can do all the work of Database Vault with added feature of proactive session monitoring.
If someone can help me based on their knowledge and experience it would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I have read the white papers of both Database Vault and Audit Vault
According to database Vault sessions can be managed using various roles created as per business requirements.
Audit vault offers same thing in terms of a firewall which manages and restrictions based on roles created .
From the white papers:
DATABAES VAULT:
Oracle Database Vault restricts access to specific areas in an Oracle database from any user, including users who have administrative access.
This enables you to apply fine_grained access control to your sensitive data in a variety of ways.
Oracle Database Vault enables you to create the following components to manage security for your database:
Realms
Command Rules
Factors
Rule Sets.
DATABAE AUDIT AND FIREWALL:
Oracle Audit Vault and database Firewall consolidates database activity monitoring events and audit logs. Policies enforce expected application behaviour, helping preventing SQL injection, application bypass, and other malicious activities from reaching the database while also monitoring and auditing privileged users and other activities inside the database.
To me these sound very similar of doing same work.
My apologies as I am unable to paste the whole text here and I cannot type full documents here

Oracle database licenses for 32 bit and 64 bit ?

Quick question on Oracle Licensing.
We have brought Oracle database license for 10g few years ago. We had 10g 32-bit database installed and its working fine.
Now we are in the process of migrating our hardware to 64-bit, since Oracle database has a 64-bit database, we are planning to move our database as well to 10g 64-bit database.
Now as far as licensing is concerned, do we need to buy new licenses in order to use the 10g 64-bit database ?
or its the same license for 32 or 64 bit database - so we are good ?

You can migrate your Oracle license from one platofrm to another even if the platform is sold by a different manufacturer. If you have cpu licenses though you have to take into consideration the different way Oracle charges for some vendor CPU's. That is not all CPU's are considered equal.
The licensing information is available at oracle.com and your sales representive should be able to help if necessary. We just open an SR and ask Oracle for assistance to get the necessary software.

Similarly, OP needs to MODIFY Snow Leopard by adding the appropriate infrastructure, executables, and configuration to meet the install requirements. Just because that implies a different kernel and system libs doesn't mean it can't be done.
Just don't let the animal rights people (or professional administrator) know about the mods.

Welcome to the forums !
For urgent issues, pl open a Service Request with Support at http://support.oracle.com
The forums are a loose organization of unpaid volunteers and cannot support urgent issues ;-)
AFAIK, Snow Leopard has not been certified for 10g yet.
Pl confirm that you meet all of the requirements for the install - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b25286/toc.htm
