Oracle Database 10g Enterprise version supported on Win 2003/Win 2008?

Hi,
The Current version of SAP we are using is SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 version (operating system- WINDOW NT )and the database is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 u2013 Prod
Please help to advice me:
Can currently running version of oracle database be supported on Win 2003/Win 2008?
Can SAP application support the existing oracle database server upgrade to Windows 2003/Win 2008?
Is it possible to have Oracle database separated to other server on SAP DEV and SAP QA?
Many thanks in advance.

i search at the oracle.com (OTN) but i didnt find it ,

K A R I M

You need to download 10.1.0.1 from OTN and then download 10.1.0.4 patch from metalink to patch up to 10.1.0.4.
There's no direct 10.1.0.4 download.

Oracle Database 10g Express Edition support Grid Computing ?

Hi
May I know if I install the Oracle Database Express Edition on Linux, which Linux O/S
that can support Grid Computing ?
And if I install this database on Windows, which Windows platform that support Grid Computing ?
Thanks.
Vivi

Hi.
What do you mean by support Grid?
I'm assuming you are actually asking about support for RAC. If so, then:
- Oracle XE does not support RAC.
- There are a number of Linux distributions that are supported for RAC, including Red Hat Advanced Server and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Basically, if it is free, Oracle don't support it. That's not to say it doesn't work, but it's not supported.
- I guess the only sensible Windows choice is Windows 2003. It would work in Windows 2000 or XP, but these aren't sensible options as both are very old and one is a desktop OS.
These answers also apply to the Grid Control.
Cheers

Important--Bug(ORA-22813) fixes in Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4

Hi,
I found that in SELECT STATEMENTs where we use "xmlagg() functions with a GROUP BY/ORDER BY,it fails with ORA-22813 if the result is too large.
This happens as there is a hard coded limit on the result size. (max 30k)
Next,i confirmed that and when i removed a portion of the XML agg() values and executed it---Wonders,it runs perfectly fine.
This means that ""xmlagg() functions with a GROUP BY/ORDER BY,fails with ORA-22813 since the result is too large.
I have come to know that patch "Release 10.2.0.4" has the fix for Bug-22813 for "xmlagg() functions with a GROUP BY/ORDER BY".
Could you all please confirm that "Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4" (patch 10.2.04) fixes the issue?
Based on your confirmation,i can go ahead to get the patch installed.
Current Version:-Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bi

Your query should be written something like this..
select d.*
from fbnk_customer,
       XMLTABLE
          '//c3'
          passing XMLRECORD
          columns
          C3_VALUE varchar2(60) path 'text()'
       ) d
where recid='1001400'; Although it would be better to use an extact path expression rather than '//c3'

The solution to this problem is described in MetaLink note #211920.1. But this note is published with LIMITED access as it involves using a hidden parameter.
You can get access to the note through Oracle Support only.
The problem itself is solved generically, if the source database is at least 10.1.0.3 and the target database is 10.2

Oracle Forms 6i(32-bit) = Oracle database 10g R2 Windows 2008 R2 64-bit)

We have Oracle database 10g R2 installed on a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) (SERVER1)
We have Oracle Forms 6i (patch 4a) installed on a Microsoft Windows XP Professional (32-bit) (SERVER2)
I am not able to connect from SERVER2 to SERVER1, either through SQLPLUS or FORMS BUILDER.
Its giving some DLL error.
Is it because forms 6i (32-bit) cannot connect to a 64-bit database on a 64-bit OS ?

There might be problems with 8i clients (like forms 6i) if the database uses AL32UTF8 characterset indeed (if you need unicode and you need to run forms 6i use UTF8 instead) but this should not be related to the platform of the database.
The platform of the database server really should not matter as the forms runtime talks via SQL*Net with the database server and in the end it does not matter if the database runs on linux, windows whatsoever or unix 32 or 64 bit for the client. The only problem you'll encounter is that SQL*Net also changes with versions and thus "older" clients might not be able to communicate with "newer" servers and vice versa.

Please guide me on this.........................

SQLDeveloper 3.0 production is supplied with the thin driver 11.2.0.2
it needs 11.2.0.2 version to use thick which has a few additional features over thin.
To avoid confusion with other Oracle software you can set the ORACLE_HOME in the session you start sqldeveloper in as described below:
The version mismatch is often because SQLDeveloper is trying to use the 'thick' driver and 11.2.0.2 thick is not available,
try
thin by:
1/(uncheck Tools->preferences->Datababae->advanced->use OCI/thick driver, and
2/If necessary, set ORACLE_HOME for your cmd.exe session where sqldev is started from to where sqldeveloper is where %ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\lib exists, (so SQLDeveloper does not try your existing ORACLE_HOME) and
3/If using connection type TNS, use Connection Type TNS -> Network Alias.
4/You may need to set Tools->preferences->Datababase->advanced->Tnsname directory to the directory containing tnsnames.ora

Oracle database 10g and symantec ghost

i'm working on trying to install oracle database 10g on a bunch of computers in a computer lab here at my university. we are using symantec ghost to manage all of these computers. like normal, i installed oracle database 10g enterprise on the build machine. i pushed out a new build to all of the computers but when the ghosted computers attempt to start oracle up to get the database running, it fails. i have been told by the instructor who teaches the course which needs this software that it is probably due to the hostname of the machines changing... does anyone know if there is a way around this problem? i am not familiar with oracle at all so i apologize if i am using any terms incorrectly.
thanks

If it failed what error message you have? Without the error message it's hard to comment.
It seems you not only installed Oracle software, you also created a database.

Installation error message for Oracle Database software for version 10g

Would someone be able to advise why I keep getting the following error message whilst installing Oracle trial Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition? Link listed below : -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
Error message "Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp"
Below is the 12 steps that I go through, please advise what I'm doing wrong : -
1. (Operations) default is Create a database
2. (Database templetes) default is general purpose
3. (Database Identification) projemp.local for Global database name & projemp for SID
4. (Management options) default is "Configure the database with Enterprise manager, also the options button has been clicked for "Use database control for database management"
5. (Database Credentials) the options button has been clicked for "Use the same password for all accounts" so I've set up a new password, was that correct?
6. (Storage options) the options button is clicked for "File System - use the file system for database storage.
7. (Database file locations) the options button is clicked for "Use database file locations for template" Is this option correct? Other options are Use common location for all database files or use Oracle-managed files?
8. (Recovery configuration) the options button is clicked for "Specify flash recovery area
9. (Database content) nothing has been selected, the only option is "Sample schemas" should that be clicked?
10. (Initialization parameters) the options button is clicked for "Typical- allocate memory as a % of the total physical memory
11. (Database storage) no options available
12. (Creation options) the options button has been selected for "Create Database"
Click finish
I then get a screen stating General purpose, click OK then I get the following error message as stated at the start of this e-mail ""Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp".

I've removed the software from my computer using control panel, programs & features then uninstall once but the other five times the software hasn't been listed. Whilst the Oracle was on my task bar I was able to install using Start > Programs > Oracle - HOME-NAME > Database Administration > Database Configuration Assistant.No you didn't. Database Configuration Assistant does not remove software. It can remove a database. As I mentioned before, there is a difference between the software and the objects that software manages. Deleting an Excel spreadsheet is not the same as deleting Microsoft Office. Deleting an Oracle database with Database configuration assistant is not the same as removing the Oracle software.

Now that oracle is not on my task bar I've unzipped the link below, clicked on db, Disk1, setup, changed the Database password (is that correct?) install and I get the following error message "Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed<<<<<
Problem: The install has detected that the primary IP address of the system is DHCP-assigned.
Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned IP addresses;
However, before you can do this, you must configure the Microsoft LoopBack Adaptor to be the primary network adapter on the system. See the installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP."
So what did you do with the above error message? Did you follow up on what it said? Did you read the very fine Installation Guide that comes with the software? Did you read the section on networking considerations where it discussed DHCP assigned addresses and installing the loopback adapter?

Ok, that link takes us to the download page, which does not shed any light at all on your problems
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit operating system, and my computer is saying I have 142 GB free space.
If you read the installation manual that came with the downloaded software, you'd have seen in the prerequisites that Home editions of Windows are NOT listed as supported platforms, whereas Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions specifically ARE listed as supportd.
Hope this is some help.And
I'm not to clever on computers so would you be able to advise how I get to the command window to issue the SET command please?
Also I've no idea what OS user I am, I'm taking an on-line Oracle course and been advised to install "Oracle Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition"
How do I find out if I'm part of an Administrator, ORA_DBA group ?
Can you walk me through how to create the directory from command line please?Ok, given the above statements from you, I'm not even sure where to begin. I don't want to be cruel, but this self-admitted lack of even the most rudimentary knowledge by someone attempting to learn about Oracle is truly astounding. What course are you taking? Why are you taking this course?

I installed Oracle database 10g on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 edition.

I installed Oracle database 10g on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 edition.
But this massage pop up when I used my browser first time before start database.
Actually when I clicks on yes to start database.
The web browser you are using is not optimized for this release of Oracle enterprise manager. It is recommended that you use one of the following:
* Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5, 6.0 or higher
* Netscape Navigator version 7 and higher
*Mozilla version 1.3.1 and higher
Dose any one know hoe to upgrade mozilla or install internet explorer 5.5, 6.0 or higher or SLES 8.
Regards,
D

You can download package for your distribution (for example) from http://www.mozilla.org or directly from SuSE ftp server ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1/suse/i586
IE for linux does not exist.

UTF support in XML DB at Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Beta 2

hello everybidy! ;)
I use Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Beta 2 Release for Microsoft Windows (dated 16-Nov-05) and place into XML DB XSLT-file (UTF8-encoded and contained some Cyrillic chars) and 10g XP can`t apply such transformation but when i replace cyrillic chars with latin chars - everything work just fine. Is it known bug? Can it be fixed by some reconfiguration or moving to Linux version of 10g XP? When will new release?
truly yours,
Slav
p.s. here some oracle forum testing ХАРЕ=XAPE, PAMA=РАМА :)

Hello, Bhagat.
I don't understand why you would install HTMLDB with apexins.sql (it's a procedure to install HTMLDB for 9i and 10G EE/SE not XE)
because HTMLDB (APEX) is already install with Oracle Express Edition. Not need
to install it with apexins.sql

Installing Oracle Database 10g on Linux Red Hat 5.1

While inslalling Oracle Database 10g Client Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86-64 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga) we've got an error
Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2
Failed <<<<
Could we install Oracle Database 10g on Linux Red Hat 5.1 or we need only Oracle Database 11g?

Verify that the redhat-release RPM is installed on your Red Hat system:
rpm -q redhat-release
This RPM is important for RHEL since RHEL AS 4, RHEL AS 3, and RHEL AS 2.1 are Linux releases supported by Oracle. Without this RPM, Oracle 10g OUI won't be able to recognize it as a supported OS. However, the installer of 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release yet. This means that you will have to edit the /etc/redhat-release file. You also have to change /etc/redhat-release for unsupported releases like Fedora Core and RH9.
I do not recommend to execute "runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs" since this will disable other checks you probably don't want to.
On RHEL AS 4 (for 10g R1), RH9, and FC 1 you have to change the /etc/redhat-release file to make Oracle 10g believe it's running on a supported release.
Regarding RHEL AS 4, the installer for 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release but 10g R2 OUI does.
To change the /etc/redhat-release file, you can simply copy/paste the following commands:
su - root
cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.orig
cat > /etc/redhat-release << EOF
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)
EOF
After you are done with the Oracle10g installation, undo the changes you made to /etc/redhat-release:
su - root
cp /etc/redhat-release.orig /etc/redhat-release
