Oracle DB Hosting - An Option?

Hello:
I'm looking to add Oracle Database hosting as a option for our hosting organization. Not dedicated
just give them a shared database space basically.
What are the steps to take in order to begin? i know Oracle offers a download version of their
database product, but from what i read it's a "Development License" meaning you can only use it
for local machine test use. Would that mean i have to go though Oracle themselves to purchase
a license? i don't have any need for support at the moment so if there is a cheaper way let me
know. I'm well versed in both SQL Server & Sybase ASE, but still confused about Oracle's licensing
scheme. I would so much appreciate if somebody could give me an answer here.
Thanks!

You would need to purchase an Oracle license to be able to offer hosting services. You can go through Oracle or through various third party resellers to purchase the license, I doubt there will be too large a difference in the overall price, but you can certainly try getting quotes from a few different organizations.
Most likely, you would need to get a processor based license, since dealing with named users would get to be pretty complex over time and would probably have a negative impact on your clients, preventing them from building certain types of applications.

Is there any Profile option available to encrypt and use APPS password Oracle Application Host script

@Hi, How do we encrypt APPS password usage in Oracle Application Host script and still let it be used in encrypted format (eg.$1, $FCP_LOGIN should not show plain text password).
Appreciate the process along with any Profile available to place this control.
Concurrent Program Setup Option SECURE/ENCRYPT controls $1, $FCP_LOGIN respectively, but Developer still has access to view/log the APPS Password.
Can we have a System profile or an Apps DBA level Setup to encrypt and use the APPS/Password.
Thanks in Advance
Lakshmi

Are you linking the host script to fndcpesr? E.g.:
Host script defined with prog extension:
XXSCRIPT.prog
Move it to relevant dir:
$XX_TOP/bin
Create a soft link to fndcpesr
ln -s $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr XXSCRIPT

Our organization uses an Oracle database hosted on a Unix platform and one of our data processing outputs is a “stuffer” document that has a barcode, and Unix jobs automatically send the document to a printer.
Is there a way, or does Adobe have a product or solution, to create a PDF version of the document including the barcode, before it’s sent to a printer?

What format is the document that is printed? Or what technology is used to format the printer? There isn't a standard way of doing things in Unix.

Thanks Guys,
I am still a bit lost though...
It may be simply a matter of me finding Oracle 8i so I can do what I need to do.
Where can I get Orcale 8i from? Does anybody have it? The oracle site only has a version back to 9.2 I queried with a employee from Oracle University here in Australia, and he suggested asking in the forums.
Just so you know what I'm trying to do:
Data Server:
Running Aix with Oracle 7.14... actually could be 7.41 - I'll check today.
This system will not be upgraded to any later version of Orcale, because systems are in place, and core systems at our other sites have to be the same. (my project is a local one)
Web Server:
Running XP profession with IIS and using ASP (active server pages)
Currently running Oracle 10g, and ASP code connects to the local database on this machine via an ODBC connection.
At the moment, I have scripts on the Aix server that dumps data from Oracle 7.x into a .csv file.
Then, I have scripts that copy those csv files to the XP server, and they are imported to the local Oracle 10g database.
To display this data on the website, I use ASP via the odbc connection to query the local database on the XP server.
As said in my previous post, there must be an easier way to do this.
I need a local database on the XP server too, and am thinking the best way is to downgrade to 8i.
Can anybody tell me where I can get 8i to try this out? I have been trying to reasearch this for a while now without luck. Any help would be appreciated, and thanks for those who have replied so far.

Oracle BI Publisher menu option is missing in Word

The Oracle BI Publisher menu option was there last night when I left the office. Came in today and started working on a report and now the menu option is gone.
I reinstall the desktop software but that did not help.
Any ideas?

Never mind, found a posting indicating that I needed to go to Tools -> Templates and Add-Ins in Word. The TemplateBuilder.dot was unchecked.

Oracle Enterprise Edition Database Option Licensing

Does anyone know if there is an official Oracle document regarding licensing of Oracle Enterprise Edition Licensing options?
If you for example install Oracle Enterprise Edition, do a standard install, a number of Enterprise options get installed, for example Partitioning and OLAP.
Both of those options are license extras.
So if they are installed but not used, should they still be licensed?
Does anyone know the official line on this?
Regards
Steven Miller

Welcome to the forums !
AFAIK, as long as these extra options are not used, you should be ok - but the best/correct answer will be given by your Oracle salesperson. Answers offered in these forums will not stand up in a court of law :-)

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/options.htm#CIHDDBCG
If you do not plan to use these options, it is best to turn them off or disable them.
Is it possible to deinstall/remove a specific component from already installed Oracle Database Home using OUI? (Doc ID 888934.1)

Oracle database hosting

Hi,
Does anybody know a web hosting company which offers Oracle database hosting with semantic technologies enabled?
The application server should weblogic.
Kind Regards,
Bony

Hi,
Have you looked at EC2 from Amazon? The following link shows an AMI with 64 bit 11.2.0.1 DB. Once the database
is up and running, you can following the documentation to initialize the semantic network.

Oracle web hosting

Hello,
Does anyone know where I can subscribe a web hosting service which support Oracle database ? I am planning to upload the forms (web format) which runs on Oracle database.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Cal.

The WebService forum may not be the best place to find information related to generic web hosting services.
Did you try google; search for oracle DB hosting services seams to be returning what you are looking for, including this list of partners from OTN.
On the high-end side, you can also consider OnDemand.
Best,

Is this hosted by Oracle or hosted at my shop?

I am unclear about the project marvel environment. Is it strictly hosted as seen here, or is is something we set up and run ourselves, like Portal?

because it's entirely web-based, project marvel runs well in both a hosted and not hosted mode. on marvel.oracle.com, users are developing their web apps using our hosted version of marvel.oracle.com and then deploying locally onto instances that they download and set-up locally. users always have the option, though, of requesting that same download, installing it, and resuming their development locally. the code you download is the code that's running on marvel.oracle.com.
hope this helps,
raj
ps - to request a download of project marvel you'd...
--log into marvel.oracle.com
--click the "administration" parent tab
--click the "software download" icon
--click the "request distribution" button

How to use the hosts.allow option in Directory Server?

I would like to limit access to a directory server instance to localhost. I see in the Directory Server Control Center that there is an option to do this with a hosts.allow and/or hosts.deny file.
What do I enter as the service name for the instance in the hosts.allow file?
Thank you.

See:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2491/6ne3dhdgt?l=en&a=view#gcwym
And perhaps more useful:

This feature is basically an app-specific instance of TCP wrappers, so look up "TCP wrappers" in your favorite search engine for more.

Jdbc:oracle:thin:@[host]:[port]:[sid] problem:

Hi all
When I try to make connection through this string jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl , It failed to connect to the database.

Hi,
The TNSNAME.ora that the OBIEE11g uses is insede the folder <OBIEE11g_HOME>\Middleware_Home\Oracle_BI1\network\admin
(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = IP address)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)))
Refer
http://123obi.com/2011/03/error-the-connection-has-failed-in-obiee-11g/
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/connect_descriptor
FYI: OTN Message:
1. If you just need one TNS alias, then copy the database connection descriptor from database tnsnames.ora file to the tnsnames.ora file under the BIEE directory:
[middleware home]/[oracle home]/Oracle_BI1/network/admin
2. You may also copy the entire tnsnames.ora file
3. Another alternative is to set the TNS_ADMIN environment varaible which would point to the directory where a tnsnames.ora file is located. This would need to be set as a System Environment variable in Windows or in the command shell if starting from a command-line. For Unix/Linux, it would need to configured in the user profile that owns the software or set explicitly in the shell if starting from the command-line. See Note 111942.1 Setting TNS_ADMIN Environment Variable for more information on adding this environment variable.

Oracle White Paper- Storage Option for RAC. on Linux

hi..
This in reference with White Paper.. Stotage Option for RAC on LINUX. Author- Umadevi Byrappa.
Which states on page 10: To Use NAS for RAC database file storage select the file system storage option in OUI. or the Clustered file system storage option in DBCA.
With which i disagree. File storage option of oracle 10g RAC only shows.
1. Clustered File system.
2. ASM
3. Raw Devices.
When i try to select Cfs and select the shared directory on NFS it says. < Directory_Name> is not a clustered file system or Shared on Both <Server_1> < Server_2>. and at this point of time i m stuck.
1. I dont want to use OCFS as its not supporting NAS.
2. Selecting CFS doesnt recognise mounted shared volume as valid storage device option can only store OCRfile and CSS file.
3. So, I have to use ASM.. with zero padded files..which i dont want to because no other option. ( PART NO. B10766-02 PAGE C-6)
Also, I would like oracle to provide Back up Recovery Option or Document which tells me how could i Recover Database when i use Zero Padded Files.
What would be the best Option in the above scenario ?
I hope by applying patch or with workaround somehow it shows Filesystem ONLY.I'll be the happiest man in this Case.
Any suggestions and corrections are most welcome. I wish i m wrong.
Nadeem ( [email protected] )

NFS isn't a clustered file system at all - by RFC it is an exported file system with access controls
If your vendor offers an NFS solution over and beyond that - more power to them. However that isn't "NFS"..
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3010.html
You can use NFS in a clustered server environment (to mount apps, read only data and for synchronous access to files), however it doesn't support the concurrency out of the box for RDBMS transactions - if a vendor is supporting this promise then that is for you to decide.
However i stand by my statement that NFS is a file system exported across your network and not a full clustered file system.

To use batches in AP, you need to enable a profile option.

Log into system administrator responsibility and find for profiles starting with
