Oracle database software on Intel based Solaris

Hi all,
Any idea regarding Oracle 8i/9i software on Intel based Solaris.
Can I use Oracle 8i Sparc Software for Intel based Solaris?
Thanks

HI Kandi,
Apparently due to a lack of demand, Oracle software on Solaris Intel is being phased out. Unfortunately, you can't use Solaris Sparc releases on Intel platforms.
regards,
Stewart

  • 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?
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
    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?

  • Delete Oracle database software

    Hi people,
    I´ve uninstalled a central instance, now I want to uninstall  the database software, but in the installation guide in chapter 6 (Additional information) It says the next:
    The Oracle software is installed on all hosts where an SAP instance is running, for example, on a central instance host, database host, or dialog inst ance host. Do not delete t he Oracle database software, if another SAP inst ance is running on the same host.
    But the uninstalled instance was in the oracle home --> oracleCH1102 and the other instance that is up and running is in another oracle home --> oraclePES102.  I have to follow the guide or can uninstall the oracle database software because in your oracle home there aren´t any instance up and running?
    More thanks

    hi,
    make a backup for your oracle central directory before any detachment.
    if your oracle version is 11g, you can no longer launch OUI to detach oracle home. please have a look on Note 1525025 - Oracle 11.2.0: Oracle Software Deinstallation.
    Cheers,
    Thanks,

  • 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
    http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9005383&intsrc=hm_list
    Post your comments on this stupid artical.
    Thanks!
    M T

    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.

  • Copy Oracle Database /Software

    I have an Production IBM AIX server that has our Oracle 8.1 database on it. Then I have a different test environment IBM AIX server. Is there a way to copy the Oracle database from the production to my the test environment?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello
    Yes, there is a way.
    I suppose You install oracle software in test environment.
    Create a cold or hot backup (or rman) from production DB. Copy all related files - $ORACLE_BASE/admin/<YOUR SID> to test server.
    If DB files' path the same as production then You can start DB, if not, You must change filename with alter database rename file 'old path' to 'new path'; in mount mode.
    Do not remember from password file.

  • Download Oracle Database Software

    Hello,
    Can anyone please tell me the path for download the Oracle 10g Database Software  from SAP support portal?
    From the Downloads-->Database Patches I've downloaded the PatchSets for Oracle 10.2.0.2
    But where can I found the 10g DB SW.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ruzica

    Hi Ruzica,
    It was discussed at this thread:
    Upgrading from Oracle 9.2.0.6 to Oracle 10.2
    But, in summary: Yes, you must upgrade the Oracle Client (to 9.2.0.7 or 9.2.0.8) before the DB Upgrade, and during the Upgrade you are asked to install Oracle Instant Client 10.
    Regards,
    JC Llanes.

    can oracle11g server 64byte and oracle11g client 32byte run on the same machine?

    Yes, they can run on same machine, especially true since 11gR2 64bit server installation is not coming within 32bit librairies anymore, if it is needed for some application layer, then the 32bit client can be installed onto the same machine, in a separate ORACLE_HOME :
    "+Starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2), the 64-bit client software does not contain any 32-bit client binaries. If you require 32-bit client binaries on 64-bit platforms, then install the 32-bit binaries from the respective 32-bit client software.+"

  • SAP Oracle database 11.2 migrating from Solaris  to RedHat Linux (x86_64)

    What is SAP guidance on database migration ? What is the best approach ?
    I heard person who does migration has to be certified by SAP.

    Jun He wrote:
    Thank you for prompt response. When you say "heterogenous system copy" does not support it, do you mean SAP does not support the converted system or just the process itself ? 
    >
    > Actually I am discussing with SAP about generating a system copy to send over to SAP and they said that Data Pump is an option they can accept.  If Datapump is accepted by SAP internally, I would think after migration SAP should support datapump-migrated system.
    Hi Jun,
    I didn't said that SAP will not support your system, after the migration by Oracle data pump. I noted that OS/DB migration is performed by heterogenous system copy with the migration key.
    Under this circumstance, if they accept to support you during the migration process with data pump, there's no problem. As I noted that previously, technically it is possible to migrate the system by using data pump, but I didn't requested that kind of support to SAP. I've been surprized to hear that they will support migration with Oracle data pump method. This is my own assestment.
    Will they support you, if you face with a problem during the migration with data pump? Or some other problems you may be face after you go to productive, because of this migration?
    >> When you say "heterogenous system copy" does not support it, do you mean SAP does not support the converted system or just the process itself ? 
    I mean that SAP does not support just process itself and the problem you face because of this migration.

    When we run ./RUNINSTALLER it then returns Failed the DISPLAY variable is not set correctly, to check if it working execute xclock, we run that and it displays the clock.
    what could be the problem with this installation.

  • Parallels Software on Intel Based Mac Book

    Hello,
    I have a customer who just bought Parallels Software with Win XP and can't seem to find the Device Drivers for the Mac Book display, and mouse for right clicking when setting it up. I remember in Virtual PC you were able to drag documents from Mac to PC without any problem. Doesn't seem to work in this case. Any ideas?

    Device drivers and mouse drivers I'm not sure of, and I'm not sure why they would be needed - Windows XP Pro on my MBP just works, including all needed screen settings in the Control Panel and right-clicking with my Turbo Mouse. But I easily might be missing something in what your customer needs...

  • Installing Software on Intel based Mac Laptop

    Hi
    Just to clarify.....
    Can I install a PC program on my 'partitioned' Windows Hardrive?
    I wanted to be able to run a PC program: 3D Max 8 and do some work on a 3D grphic. I was unable to open this graphic file on my Mac as (created in 3D Max). I tried Adobe After FX 6 but it wouldn't open the file either.
    So, I thought the solution would be to install 3D max application on the Windows side of my computer. Am I mistaken in my assumption that this is possible?
    If it is, how do I do it? The installer is in the Shared folder on the Mac partition.
    Cheers
    Tracy in London

    Thanks.....I will try that.
    Don't have Boot Camp. Will check it out.
    One more thing......I shut down the computer while it was in Windows. Now I want to boot up on the Mac side. Whats the Keyboard shortcut for this? Don't have the install CD with me.
    I can't believe this! I should have gone back to the Mac side before I shut down.
