Oracle Clusterware Home Directory

Hi,
I had a question about the Oracle Clusterware Home directory. I am going through the Oracle Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide for Linux x86_64 and on page 2-40 of the guide it mentions the Oracle Clusterware Home Directory as /u01/app/oracle/product/crs, but when you go to create the directory at the top of page 2-44 it changes the directory to /u01/crs/oracle/product/10/crs
I am confused?? Is it a typo or are they two different homes? Eventhough I know we can use any directory structure, but for this which one do they want us to use for the Oracle Clusterware Home directory??
Thank you.

This contradicts the information in the Oracle® Database Release Notes 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Linux x86-64:
In Oracle Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide, Chapter 2, "Preinstallation," in the section "Oracle Clusterware Home Directory," it incorrectly lists the path /u01/app/oracle/product/crs as a possible Oracle Clusterware home (or CRS home) path. This is incorrect. A default Oracle base path is /u01/app/oracle, and the Oracle Clusterware home must never be a subdirectory of the Oracle base directory.
A possible CRS home directory is in a path outside of the Oracle base directory. for example, if the Oracle base directory is u01/app/oracle, then the CRS home can be an option similar to one of the following:
u01/crs/
/u01/crs/oracle/product/10/crs
/crs/home
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 5843155.

How to install oracle multiple homes in the same path

Hi,
In my environment i have multiple oracle home.
for ex:
/u01/oracle/product/10.2.0.3/
/u01/oracle/product/10.2.0.4/
/u01/oracle/product/11.2.0.1/
The above are the oracle default home paths
now i want to install 11.2.0.2 in the same path with different folder under the same name version
may i know what are the pre-request parameter that i need to check in solaris 64 bit
And i want to install oracle software alone
while installing oracle software alone how about the file /var/opt/oracle/oratab and oracle oraInventory files
whether it replace the old version oracle file. Please clarify
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
By default, the Oracle Inventory directory is not installed under the Oracle Base directory.
This is because all Oracle software installations share a common Oracle Inventory,
...The Oracle Inventory should be shared by all Oracle installations on the Server. So its location is unique.
However, you may have several Oracle Base directories.
Oracle Base is the root directory of the Oracle installation and may change from one major release to another one. However, the same Oracle Base may be used for several installations:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e17163/glossary.htm#g998168
Also, by default OUI suggest you the Oracle Base directory. In general you have something like "/u01/app/oracle". But you are free to set the Oracle Base directory you prefer.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

JFileChooser ignores home directory

Hallo,
I have a little problem with JFileChooser. I need a JFileChooser that only has access to certain drives, has disabled 'create new directory' and doesn't alow to choose the default home directory of a user. The first two things are no problem, because I wrote my own class extending the FileSystemView class. The third thing also should be no problem, because I overwrote the method 'public File getHomeDirectory()' to do what I like, but the JFileChooser seems to ignore the Directory I give back if the above method is called.
Does anyone have a idea why it ignores the new home directory or is this a bug in the JDK. I use JDK 1.4.0_03.
Thanks in advance
Oliver

Hi,
I tried with the Simplest way of creating the subclass of JFileChooser and overriden the setCurrentDirectory().
The method setCurrentDirectory() gets called everytime the directory is set onto the File Look in Combo box.

`nobody' home directory is `/' ?!

i could be wrong about this, so feel free to tell me if i am..
the `nobody' user can be used to prevent unauthorised access in certain situations.
on other distros ive seen, the default home directory is something like
/usr/share/nobody
or
/usr/share/empty
that way, they are chrooted into an empty directory and have no files they can tamper with
on arch however, the nobody user has the following line (in /etc/passwd)
nobody:x:99:99:nobody:/:
its home directory is `/'
isnt that a little dangerous??

Father wrote:

What files a user can change is determined by the files' permission settings, not by the user's homedir. The homedir only tells what the initial working directory when a user logs in is, nothing else, it doesn't implicit writing or even reading access. So no, it's not dangerous, not even a little.

LDAP with local home directory?

Greetings.
I'm trying to configure the Macs to authenticate based off of the LDAP server. I'm pretty sure I've got that part working, but I'm running into difficulty figuring out how to specify using a local home directory template rather than an NFS / AFP portable home directory. All the guides on the internet out there seem to want to use NFS, which we don't have setup (and don't intend to).
Based on instructions of various texts, manuals, and blogs, I've created a user account called "labuser", and a group called "users", and then given any member of the group "users" write-access to the folder /Users/labuser. This way they login to a default home directory (at least for now). What information do i specify for LDAP's "apple-user-homeDirectory" entry to make it look for this /Users/labuser folder rather than an NFS share?

So basically I should add C:\Documents and Settings instead of /Users for windows accounts?
Because if I don't specify anything it creates a roaming profile on the windows machine, and puts the user directory both on the windows machine and a copy on the server under /Users/Profiles. Or at least is what is doing now... so I manually have to change the profile to local on the windows machine and delete the folder on the server...

Unable to create a user home directory ?

When I use root to create a new account, it can not create a default home directory for this user .
This problem will also cause a lot of other problems when using non-root account to login in.
$ ssh [email protected]

Could not chdir to home directory /home/admin: No such file or directory
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005
what's the problem ?

chances are its the automounter. check /etc/auto_master. it by default includes /home as a mount point for the automount process. if you dont need the automount for /home, comment that line out, save the file, and run automount -v (-v for verbose output). you should then be able to create dirs under /home. or, you could use a diff home dir prefix, or use the automounter (this will take some setup).

Help please..how to specify Oracle Home directory for create AS connection

I have linux based application server 10g having IP 121.100.115.2 and name as10g.ourdomain.com (/home/oracle/OraHome_2 is AS directory)
I have developed a simple jsp page using JDeveloper10g. In order to deploy this project, I am trying to create Application Server Connection using wizard.
step1:
connection name: as10g
connection type:oracle application server 10g
step2:
user name: ias_admin
password: mypassord
step3:
enterprise manager OC4J host name: 121.100.115.2
enterprise manager OC4J http port: 1156
Remote Server's Oracle home directory: /oracle/OraHome_2
step4

step5
When I click on test button I get this error:

When you create the stand alone, in options you can actually set the temp directory and default directory. You can change it there OR in goto options and check for libraries/directories. You can change it there too.

What are the Oracle Home and GRID home directory locations for Oracle 12c (12.1.0.5) release

Hello All,
I plan to install and configure Oracle 12c Cloud Control console on a single standalone server and the version is Oracle 12.1.0.5. All the databases which are installed across in the entire farm/landscape are these versions:
Oracle 10.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition
Oracle 10.2.0.4 Enterprise Edition
Oracle 10.2.0.4 Active DataGuard Enterprise Edition
Oracle 10.2.0.5 Enterprise Edition
Oracle 11.2.0.1 Enterprise Edition
Oracle 11.2.0.1 Active DataGuard Enterprise Edition
Oracle 11.2.0.3 RAC Enterprise Edition
All Oracle databases across these versions will use the same version of Oracle Grid since ASM is used for all the Oracle database across Production/Test/Development databases. The OS is RHEL 5.8, RHEL 6.3, OEL 6.3 versions.
When installing the Oracle 12c Cloud Control what is the Oracle and Grid Home directory location need to set to. Please let me know if there are any other additional configurations needed?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Abhijit

First off, the only EM CC release out right now is 12.1.0.2, not sure where you got 12.1.0.5 (DB Plugin maybe?).
Second, you're confusing EM CC homes with DB/Grid homes.
EM CC will need it's own Oracle Home (i.e. /opt/oracle/product/em_12.1.0.2). You will need to provide repository database connection information, but EM does not care what home the db or grid is installed in.
I would recommend reviewing the documentation as well as the references on OTN -

Oracle 10g Express Edition - change default working directory for save ?

Greetings all,
I'm completely new to Oracle but I am quite sure that on Oracle 9i, when using the <save xyz.sql> statement, a file was saved somewhere on the hard drive.
I accidentaly managed to convince XE to save .sql files on C:\ but I would like to change that ...
Google refused to offer me a solution so I'm asking you guys for advice.
And no, <save desired_path\filename.sql> is not an option :P, I would like to make the change permanent.
Thank you in advance,

Hi,
If you are using Windows, you can edit your "SQLPlus 80" shortcut.
Changing the "start in" path to, e.g. "c:\sql" will do the trick. SQL+ commands such as "save" and "get" will now use "c:\sql" as default working directory.

PHP 5.0.5 CLI: Am I able to set the Oracle home directory at runtime?

I have two versions of Oracle installed on a SUN Solaris server:
/opt/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
/opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
Am I able to set the Oracle home directory at runtime using PHP CLI?
Thanks,

The real answer is it depends how PHP loads Oracle. If the loading
occurs when PHP starts and before your script executes then you will
start to see problems. This could be as minor as missing error
message text or it could be more subtle. In general set the Oracle
environment before starting PHP.
What about creating your scripts like:
#!/bin/sh
export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
php ...-- cj

EMCLI default configuration directory

How do I find the default configuration directory for EMCLI on the OMS host? I changed the EM Console ports and need to re-configure EMCLI to use the new port. I can get the configuration using:
$ $OMS_HOME/bin/emcli setup
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 2.
Copyright (c) 1996, 2012 Oracle Corporation and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Instance Home : /u01/app/oracle/Middleware/gc_inst/em/EMGC_OMS1/sysman/emcli/setup/.emcli
Verb Jars Home : /u01/app/oracle/Middleware/gc_inst/em/EMGC_OMS1/sysman/emcli/setup/.emcli
EM URL : https://oms1.example.com:7799/em
EM user : sysman
Trust all certificates : true
Auto login : false
But it doesn't display the configuration directory. I'd like to re-use the existing directory.
Thanks,

Hello Leighton,
have you tried to change this using:
./emcli setup -url=http://myworkstation.us.oracle.com:em_port/em -username=em_user
