How to install the oracle lite mobile server?

hi,every one!
I follow the wizard of the oracle lite mobile server,then
pop the window let me input the "host name""port"and "net server name",I have install oracle 9i,and establish a database named "oradb",establish an server named"oradb",the service can be listened and the port is "1521",but in the installation when i input the up numbers, it
tells me that "invalid server name",how can i do?
somebody that do me a favor tell me how to install the oracle 9i lite mobile server,it must be preciated!

Andy,
It sounds like you are not properly connecting to the back end Oracle instance when Lite attempts to install the Mobile Server Repository.
Before attempting a re-install, why don't you try connecting to the same instance using SQL/Plus with the a connect string specifying hostname:1521:SID. If you are not able to connect you need to determine why.
TNX,
Phil

Oracle Database Mobile Server 11 sync

Hi,
I have two simple tables in the back-end oracle database in order to create a meeting-room android application with and embebbed SQLite database on the client devices. I have written all the functionality to register, authenticate, create a new appointent, show it, and delete it and it works fine on my smartphone, but I did all these steps against the local sqlite db.
Now I would like to share the reserves info with all the clients by synchronization using Oracle Database Mobile Server 11.
Tables:
Employees(ID, username, password, firstname, lastname, phone, email)
Reserves(ID, subject, firstname, lastname, start_date, end_date, meeting_room, alarm)
I have configured all the publications required (app , item, users, grants...) with the Workbench tool, like i have read from the official documentation and i added the lines to invoke the sync functionality. My problem is that when i launch the first sync the sqlite database in created on the device but the few records on the back-end are not replicated in the sqlite db. ¿is this process automatic or have I to write some code to catch this info?
Another problem is that the records of the sqlite database is neither replicated to the back-end database. I have to say that th sync process ends succesfully but I can see nothing on the in-queue and out-queue queues in the mobile manager console. So, what´s about this incomind and outcoming data? Th only thing i can see is a set of dirty records, these records are records on the back-end db, but I dont know what means...
Could you help me please?
Thank you very much.

Hi
Data Subsetting is to restrict the data each Client sees based on values you specify i.e.
If you only wanted a Client to see data for a specific Dept you could specify the following in the Publication Item
Select * from emp where DEPTNO = :DEPTNO
You can define what DEPTNO should be for each Client in the Mobile Server
So in your case if you want ALL Client to see ALL records for a Publication Item then you should not specify any Data Subsetting i.e.
Select * from emp - This would retrieve all rows
There is no specific need to use Sequences in your Application unless you want to. Obviously you must make sure that any new records created on the Client will not conflict with a record created on a different Client otherwise conflicts will occur after the data is synchronized with the server
With regards to you actual issue can you confirm the following ( NO NOT CHANGE ANY VALUES )
1. Check the table mobileadmin.applications in the Repository DB and confirm there is a row there for your Application and that the 'Publication' column contains the correct Publication you created in MDW.
2. Check the Table C$ALL_CLIENT_ITEMS, this should contain one row for each Publication Item you created in MDW i.e.
Select PUBLICATION_ITEM, DIRTY, CRR From C$ALL_CLIENT_ITEMS Where CLIENTID = '<Your Client Name>';

Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g

Hi,
We implemented Oracle EBS R11i for one of our customers. We also implemented Oracle Mobile Server 9i on Windows Server and Olite 9i on PDAs running Windows.
Now the customer wants to upgrade Oracle EBS to R12 and also upgrade Oracle Mobile Server and Olite 9i to newer versions of Oracle and also want to use Android on the PDAs/Mobile Devices.
Can we implement Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g and Mobile Client as mentioned in these links:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/database-mobile-server/dms-11g-datasheet-512117.pdf
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/database-mobile-server/overview/index.html
I think it will be a new implementation of Oracle Database Mobile server and Mobile client and not an upgrade.
Any suggestions is welcome.
Regards,
Thiru

MFS embeds Olite into the product. Put another way, through MFS interfaces it defines/determines what functionality of mobile server can be used. Under the MFS configuration the Olite client database is used and the web-to-go app is used, there are no other choices. Very common when a software product includes some other product, it will determine what parts of the embedded product gets used.
Olite 10.3.0.3 as a separately download product used standalone has additional capability. Note: 10.3.0.3 is no longer separately downloadable over OTN.
In DMS 11.x -- we removed Olite client database, rearchitected sync to better fit BDB and allows for BDB and SQLite (either one of those can be used) on the client db. Again, MFS is only compatible with 10.3.0.3/2 right now. That team is a different development team within Oracle, on totally different release schedules than the Database Mobile Server development team. Android support was added in DMS 11.x.
thanks

Oracle Database Mobile Server Javadoc

hi,
Could any one please let me know where to find this document "Oracle Database Mobile Server Javadoc".
Thanks
vikas rao

Hi Vikas,
The JavaDoc is available at $ORACLE_HOME/mobile/doc/doc.1130/javadoc, ORACLE_HOME is where Oracle Database Mobile Server is installed.

Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g is out

Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g is released, please post your comments when you get hands on it
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-mobile-server/overview/index.html
New Features in 11g
* Support for Java SE, including SE Embedded
* Device Management for Android platforms
* Automatic sync for Android and Blackberry platforms
* Support for Oracle Glassfish
* Support for Java 1.6
* Better integration with Oracle Berkeley DB, including encryption support

In the release notes for 11g, I find this:
"The Oracle Lite Mobile Client is desupported in this release. The Sync Control APIs for the Oracle Lite Mobile Client are still provided in this guide, but will be removed when the Oracle Lite Mobile Client is fully deprecated.
Supported mobile clients include the Berkeley DB and SQLite Mobile Clients.
I am not sure I understand. Will I still be able to use Olite db with the Sync Control API for Oracle lite (like before), or does it mean that the sync control APIs now work only with SQLite and BDB? We are in the process of porting our app from WM6.1 to Android. If we install the latest Mobile server, will I have to change my WM6.1 app so that it supports SQLite or BDB?
I think the latter is the case, but I became unsure when I read the release note.

DB Link from Oracle to SQL Server error

Dear buddies,
I need to perfome some select on the tables which reside in SQL Server 2005 from Oracle 10g.
I followed the steps given in :
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_heterogeneous_database_connections_sql_server.htm
I could perform a TNS ping which is successful but only when I perform a select I receive this error.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from SQLS
I have checked that my dsn name is in small caps all the way wherever it is used(Since its suggested in many sites).
Please guide me.
I am really looking ahead for a solution.
Regards,
Nith

use the like to setup ODBC and datasource
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/oracle/article.php/3442661/Making-a-Connection-from-Oracle-to-SQL-Server.htm
and then create link server in sql server after you test connenction with oracle

Oracle Database Mobile Server

I am running my Mobile Server 11g and i want to test if Server works.
4.6 Testing Your Mobile Server Installation
To test whether your mobile server was installed correctly, test your mobile server through a browser with the following URL:
http://<machine-name>[:port]/mobile
I tried:
http://localhost:7001/mobile
Error 404--Not Found
http://localhost/mobile (without port 7001 form Weblogic Server)
http://desktoppc:7001/mobile (my machine name)
Error 404--Not Found
http://desktoppc/mobile
but i cannot access it... always an error.
please help me fix this error. thank you
jedi

Hi Jedi,
Did you start the Mobile Server ? There is an Icon in the Program Group.
You should be able to see what port its running on appear in the command window when it starts up.
If you have started the Mobile Server but it does not appear to be accessible can you access the WLS Admin Console ? i.e.
http://localhost:7001/console
What logs do you have in the domain you set up i.e.
$OH\Middleware\user_projects\domains\mobileserver\servers\AdminServer\log
regards

Oracle Lite Mobile Server Standalone Version

We are planning to run the Mobile Server in the DMZ and wanted to run the Mobile Server as standalone on it's own box. I found in the documentation that Oracle does not recommend to run the standalone version in production. Oracle recommends that the production use the Oracle Application Server for the middle-tier.
Does anyone know why Oracle recommends we don't use Mobile server as standalone in a production environment?
Message was edited by:
Javier Ruiz

I have used the stand-alone as a production solution with 1000 users synching approx 2 GB a day and users databases having databases ranging from 50 MB to 1 GB.
I am deploying to app server and here is what I have found to be better.
* <strike>better</strike> easier management of the JVM. Actually, maintenance in general is much easier. I like the performance monitors that come with application server. Easier then logging into a telnet session and using mpstat and prstat.
Does it limit you going stand-alone? No.
But I would recommend that the bigger the system, the more robust your application server should be. Both in hardware and software (webcache, app server)

Oracle AS "Internal Server Error" (logs are available)

Hello,
There is a J2EE web application that runs on Oracle AS 10g. Configuration is as follows:
Oracle AS 10g
Oracle DB 10g
Oracle Content Management SDK
It randomly gives "Internal Server Error" but there is no explanation about what really is wrong. If you wait and try again, you can access the page that gave error previously. I use Internet Explorer 8 to access the application.
I tried restarting application server, even restarting operating system. no luck.
I also tried renewing classes12.jar jdbc driver. No change.
You may find some logs below. I can not paste whole log output here as it is to much. Only latest a few lines that may help about what is wrong.

Hello,
First of all, thank you very much for your helpful answers.
The problem was, we launched another server for test purpose. HTTP Server in both servers collided, so changing the HTTP Server Port in test machine solved the issue.
P.S.: I didn't know test server was up when i wrote this problem in here. Sorry for misleading you.

Oracle 9I Database, and Mobile Server install history

Dear Oracle technical representative:
This TAR started out as a true request for help in solving installation problems with Oracle 9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, and Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1, but it has turned into a history of frustration with out of date, laconic, and often incorrect, and misleading documentation. As a software developer, I understand that documentation is always out of date, at least mine is. Nonetheless, I must speak my mind while understanding, and sympathizing with your situation.
I struggled through the documentation, and managed to get everything working. While I was doing that, I wrote down the step by step procedure that I used to get Database, and Mobile Server running. By sharing this rough install history with you, it is my hope that it will help prevent others from experiencing the same difficulties that I have had. It has been my observation that when a user has problems installing a trial software package they give up quickly, and do not purchase a copy. It is thus extremely important that the installation instructions, and quick start guide be accurate, attentive to detail, and well written. The first impression is the one that counts.
The Oracle 9i Lite Installation, and Configuration Guide for Windows NT shipped with Oracle 9i Lite Release 5.0.1 definitely requires, and emergency rewrite. It is terribly out of date, inaccurate, and laconic. My guess is that it is a very sloppy rewrite of poorly written 8i documentation. The Oracle 9i Database Installation Guide for Windows is somewhat better. It however should do a better job informing you that before installing onto a old server the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC), and VC runtime libraries must be up to date. The history describes the trouble with not having the MFC42.dll at version 6. Another corker is that the default port the installer presents is 2030, and not 1521, and that leads to major confusion in the both the Database, and Mobile Server installs.
Thank you for looking at the history. I hope that it will be of use to you when you update your documentation.

TAR for Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition, and Oracle Lite Release 5.0.1 Mobile Server
Installation problems are highlighted in red.
Installation sequence/history:
     1. Installed Windows NT 4.0 Server SP1 on Dell Power Edge 4300 dual x86 server to wipe the slate clean.
     2. Setup TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX networks
          Computer name YGGDRASILL
          Host name = YGGDRASILL
          Domain = CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
          Internet name = YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSATE.EDU = 130.18.130.225
     3. Installed NT SP3, and Internet Explorer 4.01 from the NT 40 Options Pack CD as the gateway to installing MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0.
     4. Installed MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0 from NT 4.0 Optins Pack CD.
     5. Applied NT 4.0 SP6.
     6. Installed Internet Explorer 5.5 as a prerequisite to installing MADAC 2.6.
     7. Installed MDAC 2.6
     8. Installed Paint Shop Pro 7 for capturing error screens.
     9. As previous install errors stated that the ordinal function xxxx could not be found in MFC42.dll, the latest version (6.0.8665.0) of the dll was installed, and registered from MS VC++ SP5. Also I upgraded MSVCIRT.dll, MSVCRT.dll, MSCRT40.dll, and added MSVC60.dll from SP5 to be on the safe side.
According to the installation documents all the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition are satisfied.
     10. Began install of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with target parameters:
          Home directory = D:\Oracle\Ora92
          Database directory = D:\Oracle\oradata
          Global database name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
          Port = 2030
          SID = FIA
          SYSTEM Password = phwphw
          SYS Password = phwphw
          SCOTT Password = phwphw
          DBSNMP Password = I left this one unassigned or empty.
          tnsnames.ora entry for remote TCP/IP connection
          a. CD 1 of 3 load
               1. Error writting to MFC42u.dll. Action ignore. A check indicated that MFC42u.dll version did not match the updated version of MFC42.dll. Plan is to update after install. Unicode version of MFC is probably not used by the installer.
          b. CD 1 completed with only one problem, and CD 2 load begins.
          c. CD 2 installed without incident., and CD 3 load begins, and completes without farther problems. The only issue to address at this time is to update the MFC42u.dll.
               HTTP Server URLs
                    http://7778
                    https://4443
     12. Evaluation of install success begins.
          a. Oracle HTTP Service will not start. It is of particular interest that on installs that I do not upgrade the MFC42.dll the Oracle HTTP Service will start correctly, but during the install I get the error message Ordinal nnnn not found in MFC42.dll, and the Oracle MTS Recovery Service crashes during the install. I am caught between a rock and hard spot on this one. See the Figure 1. At the end of this document. I do not need the HTTP Server at this time but I will need it later and this issue must be resolved. It appears that it hangs during startup. I am sorry but I lost the ordinal number nnnn.
          When I try to start the HTTP server from the Programs menu. It Hangs, and does not return an error message. See Figure 2, and the included Apache Setup.txt, the install log, and the HTTPd.conf . The conf, and setup files look OK to me. What is the problem?
          b. All other services start correctly.
          c. Logged into the database as SCOTT on the server with SQL Plus using the connection information:
               FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
               (DESCRIPTION =
               (ADDRESS_LIST =
               (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill)(PORT = 1521))
               (CONNECT_DATA =
               (SERVER = DEDICATED)
               (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
          I created some tables, inserted data, and queried for the data. Everthing seems to be working correctly.
          d. Logged in remotely from my AOL account on a dial-up line using Oracle 9i Release 2 Personal Edition installed on my ThinkPad. Every thing tested out as above. I used the connection information:
               FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
               (DESCRIPTION =
               (ADDRESS_LIST =
               (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu)(PORT = 1521))
               (CONNECT_DATA =
               (SERVER = DEDICATED)
               (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
     13. I concluded that except for the Oracle HTTP Server Service not starting correctly, and that after updating the MFC42u.dll to VC++ SP5 level the stage is set for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1. I copied the MFC42u.dll to the server and registered it successfully.
     14. As Visual Studio 6.0 Professional updates all of the MFC stuff, I decides to install it at this juncture, and apply SP5.
     15. Installed JDK1.3.1 required for Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
At this time the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1 are satisfied, and MFC, and rt are at version 6.
It is important to note that after installing MS Visual Studio Professional 6.0 SP5, the HTTP server started working. It is clear that prior to installing Oracle Database it is essential that MFC, and possibly other components are upgraded before starting an installation of Oracle. This probably only applies to old NT servers, but it should be mentioned in the installation instructions.
     16. Attempt to install Oracle Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
          a. File locations Screen
               Name: = OraLite501
               Path: = D:\OraLite501
          b. Select Mobile Server at Installation Screen
          c. Mobile Server Repository Database Information Screen
               Hostname = YGGDRASILL = hostname from tnsnames.ora
               Port = 2030 = same as Database port
                    It is troublesome that the port in tsnames.ora is 1521, and not 2030 as was specified in the database install. I will try this port on the reinstall. On the retry, it worked. The problem was that I was mislead by the default port of 2030 at the database install. The database was actually installed on port 1521, and I was not given an error message, or warning. As I am a first time installer of Oracle products this threw me for a loop. The default port for the database needs to be 1521, if regardless of what the user specifies for a port you are going to install on port 1521.
               Net Service Name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU = Global database name as required by installation instructions.
          d. Yes. At Do you want to install the Mobile Server Repository question.
          e. At Oracle Protocol Support, I checked the SPX box.
          f. Summary, and Install screens function to specifications.
          g. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
               Database System password:
                    Password = phwphw
          h. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
               Schema Name: fiafield
               Password : fiafield
          i. Success at last with the install part. The problem was the wrong port number. See my above comments on this problem, and how Oracle could grease the skids for the next first time installer.
     j. I could not find the httpd.conf file in the place the install instructions said it should be for running the Mobile Server in Oracle HTTP Server. Since only one copy of httpd.conf existed, I added the include D:\OraLite501\mobile\server\bin\wtgias.conf to the bottom of the file assuming that it is the correct one. I the re-booted instead of using apache -k restart. The Oracle HTTP Server started, so there is hope. The install instructions state that the httpd.conf file would most likely be in the program files directory, when they are really installed in the Oracle Lite home directory.
     k. According to the documentation the Mobile Server should start when the Oracle HTTP Server starts with the wtgias.conf file added to the httpd.conf file. It does not. If I use Process Explorer, I know that Apache loaded the wtgias.conf, because both Apache.exe processes that are running have the wtgias.dll loaded. The facts are at this stage of the game are
          1. OraMTSRecoveryService is started
          2. OracleOraHome92HTTPService is started
          3. OracleOraHome92Listener is started on port
          4. OracleServiceFIA is started
          5. Apache.exe has the wtgias.dll loaded
          6. The Moble Server is not running and it should be if the documentation is correct.
          7. If I start the Mobile Server either as a service using wtgsvc -i or with the webtogo command from the DOS prompt, the Mobile Server starts, but when I attempt to log in with the URL http://Yggdrasill:7778/webtogo/startup it inform me the Mobile Server is not started and it is. Figure 3 shows the response I receive from the login attempt.
     l. I finally ran the Mobile Server in total debug mode using the command webtogo -d0", and it gave me the subtle hint that the correct URL is
          http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup.
     When I use the above URL and I can login to the Mobile Server with UN = fiafield, and PW = fiafield. I was confused by the documentation. I was under the assumption that the host address would be either http://Yggdrasill:7778, or http://Yggdrasill:4443. After all when I, installed Oracle Database these URLs were listed. It needs to be made clear in the installation guide for the mobile server that the Mobile Server address is http://Your servers WWW address/webtogo/startup, and the statements about the Mobile Server will start when the Oracle HTTP Server is started needs to be removed since they are incorrect. Also, the documentation should clearly state that the Schema Name, and Password given in the Repository Wizard Screen are synonymous with the username, and password for the Mobile Server login.
     m. After determning the hard way that the Mobile Server does not start when the the Oracle HTTP Server starts, and that the correct URL is http://Internet address/webtogo/startup = http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup, I decide to start the Mobile Server as a service with the command wtgsvc -i. After I re-booted, to my surprise, I could not login to the Mobile Server. When I checked the system services, the webtogo service was running. So to give the start as a service thing a fair chance I re-booted again, but obtained the same results. I thus concluded that the Mobile Server will not run correctly as a service. As it turns out my conclusion was wrong. After waiting a few minutes, my login try was successful. The documentation should indicate that after booting it may be a minute or two before the Mobile Server service become available.
     n. After some serious problems with the installer, and the documentation everything is working. I have a green light to go on to the next stage, which is program the handheld to take advantage of the Mobile Server. I will be glad to get back to programming, and am so thankful that I am not a network administrator.

Database 9i, and Mobile Server install history

Dear Oracle technical representative:
This TAR started out as a true request for help in solving installation problems with Oracle 9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, and Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1, but it has turned into a history of frustration with out of date, laconic, and often incorrect, and misleading documentation. As a software developer, I understand that documentation is always out of date, at least mine is. Nonetheless, I must speak my mind while understanding, and sympathizing with your situation.
I struggled through the documentation, and managed to get everything working. While I was doing that, I wrote down the step by step procedure that I used to get Database, and Mobile Server running. By sharing this rough install history with you, it is my hope that it will help prevent others from experiencing the same difficulties that I have had. It has been my observation that when a user has problems installing a trial software package they give up quickly, and do not purchase a copy. It is thus extremely important that the installation instructions, and quick start guide be accurate, attentive to detail, and well written. The first impression is the one that counts.
The Oracle 9i Lite Installation, and Configuration Guide for Windows NT shipped with Oracle 9i Lite Release 5.0.1 definitely requires, and emergency rewrite. It is terribly out of date, inaccurate, and laconic. My guess is that it is a very sloppy rewrite of poorly written 8i documentation. The Oracle 9i Database Installation Guide for Windows is somewhat better. It however should do a better job informing you that before installing onto a old server the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC), and VC runtime libraries must be up to date. The history describes the trouble with not having the MFC42.dll at version 6. Another corker is that the default port the installer presents is 2030, and not 1521, and that leads to major confusion in the both the Database, and Mobile Server installs.
Thank you for looking at the history. I hope that it will be of use to you when you update your documentation.

TAR for Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition, and Oracle Lite Release 5.0.1 Mobile Server
Installation problems are highlighted in red.
Installation sequence/history:
     1. Installed Windows NT 4.0 Server SP1 on Dell Power Edge 4300 dual x86 server to wipe the slate clean.
     2. Setup TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX networks
          Computer name YGGDRASILL
          Host name = YGGDRASILL
          Domain = CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
          Internet name = YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSATE.EDU = 130.18.130.225
     3. Installed NT SP3, and Internet Explorer 4.01 from the NT 40 Options Pack CD as the gateway to installing MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0.
     4. Installed MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0 from NT 4.0 Optins Pack CD.
     5. Applied NT 4.0 SP6.
     6. Installed Internet Explorer 5.5 as a prerequisite to installing MADAC 2.6.
     7. Installed MDAC 2.6
     8. Installed Paint Shop Pro 7 for capturing error screens.
     9. As previous install errors stated that the ordinal function xxxx could not be found in MFC42.dll, the latest version (6.0.8665.0) of the dll was installed, and registered from MS VC++ SP5. Also I upgraded MSVCIRT.dll, MSVCRT.dll, MSCRT40.dll, and added MSVC60.dll from SP5 to be on the safe side.
According to the installation documents all the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition are satisfied.
     10. Began install of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with target parameters:
          Home directory = D:\Oracle\Ora92
          Database directory = D:\Oracle\oradata
          Global database name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
          Port = 2030
          SID = FIA
          SYSTEM Password = phwphw
          SYS Password = phwphw
          SCOTT Password = phwphw
          DBSNMP Password = I left this one unassigned or empty.
          tnsnames.ora entry for remote TCP/IP connection
          a. CD 1 of 3 load
               1. Error writting to MFC42u.dll. Action ignore. A check indicated that MFC42u.dll version did not match the updated version of MFC42.dll. Plan is to update after install. Unicode version of MFC is probably not used by the installer.
          b. CD 1 completed with only one problem, and CD 2 load begins.
          c. CD 2 installed without incident., and CD 3 load begins, and completes without farther problems. The only issue to address at this time is to update the MFC42u.dll.
               HTTP Server URLs
                    http://7778
                    https://4443
     12. Evaluation of install success begins.
          a. Oracle HTTP Service will not start. It is of particular interest that on installs that I do not upgrade the MFC42.dll the Oracle HTTP Service will start correctly, but during the install I get the error message Ordinal nnnn not found in MFC42.dll, and the Oracle MTS Recovery Service crashes during the install. I am caught between a rock and hard spot on this one. See the Figure 1. At the end of this document. I do not need the HTTP Server at this time but I will need it later and this issue must be resolved. It appears that it hangs during startup. I am sorry but I lost the ordinal number nnnn.
          When I try to start the HTTP server from the Programs menu. It Hangs, and does not return an error message. See Figure 2, and the included Apache Setup.txt, the install log, and the HTTPd.conf . The conf, and setup files look OK to me. What is the problem?
          b. All other services start correctly.
          c. Logged into the database as SCOTT on the server with SQL Plus using the connection information:
               FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
               (DESCRIPTION =
               (ADDRESS_LIST =
               (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill)(PORT = 1521))
               (CONNECT_DATA =
               (SERVER = DEDICATED)
               (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
          I created some tables, inserted data, and queried for the data. Everthing seems to be working correctly.
          d. Logged in remotely from my AOL account on a dial-up line using Oracle 9i Release 2 Personal Edition installed on my ThinkPad. Every thing tested out as above. I used the connection information:
               FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
               (DESCRIPTION =
               (ADDRESS_LIST =
               (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu)(PORT = 1521))
               (CONNECT_DATA =
               (SERVER = DEDICATED)
               (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
     13. I concluded that except for the Oracle HTTP Server Service not starting correctly, and that after updating the MFC42u.dll to VC++ SP5 level the stage is set for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1. I copied the MFC42u.dll to the server and registered it successfully.
     14. As Visual Studio 6.0 Professional updates all of the MFC stuff, I decides to install it at this juncture, and apply SP5.
     15. Installed JDK1.3.1 required for Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
At this time the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1 are satisfied, and MFC, and rt are at version 6.
It is important to note that after installing MS Visual Studio Professional 6.0 SP5, the HTTP server started working. It is clear that prior to installing Oracle Database it is essential that MFC, and possibly other components are upgraded before starting an installation of Oracle. This probably only applies to old NT servers, but it should be mentioned in the installation instructions.
     16. Attempt to install Oracle Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
          a. File locations Screen
               Name: = OraLite501
               Path: = D:\OraLite501
          b. Select Mobile Server at Installation Screen
          c. Mobile Server Repository Database Information Screen
               Hostname = YGGDRASILL = hostname from tnsnames.ora
               Port = 2030 = same as Database port
                    It is troublesome that the port in tsnames.ora is 1521, and not 2030 as was specified in the database install. I will try this port on the reinstall. On the retry, it worked. The problem was that I was mislead by the default port of 2030 at the database install. The database was actually installed on port 1521, and I was not given an error message, or warning. As I am a first time installer of Oracle products this threw me for a loop. The default port for the database needs to be 1521, if regardless of what the user specifies for a port you are going to install on port 1521.
               Net Service Name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU = Global database name as required by installation instructions.
          d. Yes. At Do you want to install the Mobile Server Repository question.
          e. At Oracle Protocol Support, I checked the SPX box.
          f. Summary, and Install screens function to specifications.
          g. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
               Database System password:
                    Password = phwphw
          h. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
               Schema Name: fiafield
               Password : fiafield
          i. Success at last with the install part. The problem was the wrong port number. See my above comments on this problem, and how Oracle could grease the skids for the next first time installer.
     j. I could not find the httpd.conf file in the place the install instructions said it should be for running the Mobile Server in Oracle HTTP Server. Since only one copy of httpd.conf existed, I added the include D:\OraLite501\mobile\server\bin\wtgias.conf to the bottom of the file assuming that it is the correct one. I the re-booted instead of using apache -k restart. The Oracle HTTP Server started, so there is hope. The install instructions state that the httpd.conf file would most likely be in the program files directory, when they are really installed in the Oracle Lite home directory.
     k. According to the documentation the Mobile Server should start when the Oracle HTTP Server starts with the wtgias.conf file added to the httpd.conf file. It does not. If I use Process Explorer, I know that Apache loaded the wtgias.conf, because both Apache.exe processes that are running have the wtgias.dll loaded. The facts are at this stage of the game are
          1. OraMTSRecoveryService is started
          2. OracleOraHome92HTTPService is started
          3. OracleOraHome92Listener is started on port
          4. OracleServiceFIA is started
          5. Apache.exe has the wtgias.dll loaded
          6. The Moble Server is not running and it should be if the documentation is correct.
          7. If I start the Mobile Server either as a service using wtgsvc -i or with the webtogo command from the DOS prompt, the Mobile Server starts, but when I attempt to log in with the URL http://Yggdrasill:7778/webtogo/startup it inform me the Mobile Server is not started and it is. Figure 3 shows the response I receive from the login attempt.
     l. I finally ran the Mobile Server in total debug mode using the command webtogo -d0", and it gave me the subtle hint that the correct URL is
          http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup.
     When I use the above URL and I can login to the Mobile Server with UN = fiafield, and PW = fiafield. I was confused by the documentation. I was under the assumption that the host address would be either http://Yggdrasill:7778, or http://Yggdrasill:4443. After all when I, installed Oracle Database these URLs were listed. It needs to be made clear in the installation guide for the mobile server that the Mobile Server address is http://Your servers WWW address/webtogo/startup, and the statements about the Mobile Server will start when the Oracle HTTP Server is started needs to be removed since they are incorrect. Also, the documentation should clearly state that the Schema Name, and Password given in the Repository Wizard Screen are synonymous with the username, and password for the Mobile Server login.
     m. After determning the hard way that the Mobile Server does not start when the the Oracle HTTP Server starts, and that the correct URL is http://Internet address/webtogo/startup = http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup, I decide to start the Mobile Server as a service with the command wtgsvc -i. After I re-booted, to my surprise, I could not login to the Mobile Server. When I checked the system services, the webtogo service was running. So to give the start as a service thing a fair chance I re-booted again, but obtained the same results. I thus concluded that the Mobile Server will not run correctly as a service. As it turns out my conclusion was wrong. After waiting a few minutes, my login try was successful. The documentation should indicate that after booting it may be a minute or two before the Mobile Server service become available.
     n. After some serious problems with the installer, and the documentation everything is working. I have a green light to go on to the next stage, which is program the handheld to take advantage of the Mobile Server. I will be glad to get back to programming, and am so thankful that I am not a network administrator.

When you install the MD Workstation you are opted to choose among different applications i.e. mobile sales, mobile service, mobile system maintenance or authorization management tool. You can there choose the application to install besides the installation of the MD Workstation.
If you want to add application(s) later, you have to choose 'modify' and choose all parts for the MD Workstation plus the applications. If you omit options chosen before when doing the first installation then these will be removed. So be shure to choose ALL relevant things for the application as well as for the MD Workstation.
You can also generate the application from the installed repository, there are several notes on this subject available ('how to generate an application') which are referred to in about any installation guide or note changing the msa coding.

Problem in configuring the Mobile Server.

Hi,
I am trying to configure Mobile Server for Apache for the Apache Server. I am following the steps listed in the Installation guide. As listed in the document I did the changes in the Apache Configuration file "httpd.conf" i.e. I included the Mobile Server module confuguration file into Apache Config file. On starting the apache server I am getting following listed warning,
"[Wed Apr 28 18:14:46 2004] [warn] Loaded DSO D:\oracle\oralite\mobile\server\bin\wtgapach.DLL uses plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI! (please recompile it with -DEAPI)".
The Apache server is working and through browser I am able to access the default page. But as mentioned in the Mobile Server configuration section the Mobile server is not started or at least I do not know how to access the Mobile server through browser.
Please let me know if the cause of the warning message has any effect on the Mobile Server instantiation and if not how can I access the Mobile Server?
Thanks,
Sachin.

Hi,
I am trying to install the Oracle Lite suit versioned 5.0.2 for Windows. The RDBMS is Oralce 9i (9.2.0.1). I am able to install the Mobile server. Refering the Installation mannual I am trying to configure and run the mobile serve in either standalone mode or with Oracle HTTP server. In the installation mannual it is mentioned that the HTTPD.conf file for apache http server should be modified to include the wtgapach.conf file from the Oralce Lite ORACLE_HOME\mobile\server\bin folder. On making this change and starting the apache server I am getting the error listed in the post. In the mannual it is mentioned that for standalone mode run the webtogo executable from the bin folder. On doing so I am getting a message
"D:\oracle\oralite\Mobile\Server\bin>webtogo
Unrecognized option: -Xrs"
So currently I am stuck and do not know how to start the mobile server. Please let me know the appropriate steps to start the Mobile server in stadalone as well as with Oracle HTTP server.
Also as mentioned by you I replaced the wtgapach.conf with wtgias.conf. The warning message which was displaying earlier on start of Apache is now gone but if tried to start the mobile server from the browser it is not working as expected.
Thanks and Regards,
Sachin.

License of Database Mobile server

Hi all
Can any one of you give me the information about the license fee for oracle database mobile server.
How is Oracle database mobile server different from SQLite-sync??
Thanks in advance
