ORACLE EXPORT FAILING ON A WINDOWS SERVER

Hi All
I have a windows server 2003 sp2. Recently i reinstalled oracle software on it. Since then my exports have started failing with the following message
Message 206 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=EXP: Release 10.2.0.4.0
It says it has something to do with oracle home but my oracle home is set correctly
Has anyone encountered something like this. Your comments highly appreciated as always !!
thanks!!

check your environment variables, including ORACLE_HOME and PATH.

Oracle 11gR2 installation problem on Windows Server 2008 R2 datacenter

Hi
I am trying to install Oracle 11Gr2 64 bit on Windows server 2008 R2.The system configuration is "Intel Xeon, RAM 8.00 GB.
i
The installation is getting paused at the 8th step of Oracle installation.Neither i am getting any error message nor an entry is recorded in the Oracle inventory log.
It is showing a blank screen after the prerequiste checks are complete.
Request you to help me out in resolving the issue.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Hi Helios
Thanks for the response. The database is still not created to check in the Alert log .It is still in the phase of pre-requisite checks. I did not go with Silent installation.It is a plain single instance installation.
The installation screen is greyed out with out any message or error.
Please could you share if you have any thoughts on this.

Oracle DB 10g XE on Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit

Hello to everybody!
I have and old pc with Windows Server 2003 (32 bit) where i've installed Oracle DB 10g XE. Everything works fine.
Now i have to migrate the DB from that old machine to a new one with Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit.
I've tryied to install the Oracle DB 10g XE into the new server but, after installation is finished, i wasn't able to open the DB homepage at http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex. It said "This page can't be displayed". I try with SQLPLUS but after i insert the admin credentials i obtain these lines:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Where can be the problem?

>> ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
Database is not running. Most likely the installer did not complete all its tasks, it can happen.
For windows, the database service has to be set up (see Start/Run/services.msc), services started, installer creates the database, and quite a few other setup chores. If the database creation fails, all the other stuff is not relevant.
Under the <drive:>oraclexe folder there *should* be a datafiles (*.DBF) files somewhere. Can't recall the exact location for 10g. Try file explorer and a search for *.dbf files, that will probably come up empty.
Note the requirements, at Oracle&reg; Database Express Edition it calls for x86, not x64. The 11g XE also has lots of trouble getting a successful install on x64 as well, note the Download page states "does not work on x64" although some folks have gotten it to work.Try the deinstall steps, and use a right click/run as Administrator that *might* get past the UAC glitch that happens on the later OS versions.

Installation of Oracle 11g Release 2 on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi:
When I tried to install 64-bit Oracle 11g Release 2 on a system running 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2.
One of the system pre-requisites failed with the following error message:
Checking operating system requirements ...
Expected result: One of 5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0
Actual Result: 6.1
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: Oracle Database 11g is not certified on the current operating system.
Recommendation: Make sure you are installing the software on the correct platform.
I presume 6.0 is Windows 2008 Server and 6.1 should be Release 2.
Does this mean that this version is not compatible with Server 2008 Release 2?

No one inside Oracle is permitted to say, or pre-announce release dates for legal reasons.
Which is why I gave you the link - so you could monitor for yourself.OK, thanks...
I was just hoping there was an official release date and I just couldn't find it.
Is there any information about features in 11gR2 for Windows available yet?
Or can you maybe tell me if it will be possible to mount the new "database filesystem" like we can do on linux?
I remember oracle did something similar with Oracle ifs (Internet File System) back in Oracle 9i. (or was it 8i?)

Multiple Oracle Databases in a Single Windows Server

Hi all,
I have Windows Server System which has oracle database created.
My question is:-
How can i create multiple databases on the same server without affecting the first created database & i want to use the both databases at a time?
Please give the steps to do multiple databases in the same server if possible..
Thanks in advance,
Venkatesh J

Oracle scales by adding more servers to a single physical database. This is called Oracle RAC.
You want to add more physical databases to a single server - doing the exact opposite of what Oracle offers as a scalable solution.
Please give the steps to do multiple databases in the same server if possible..No special steps. Run DBCA and create a new database instance. In other words, the exact same steps followed for creating the 1st database on that server.
Also make sure you fully understand WHAT you are doing and the IMPLICATIONS of that. An Oracle database is not the same as a mySQL or SQL-Server database. An Oracle Schema is a logical database - and compares to what a mySQL/SQL-Server database is.
And a single Oracle database can contain 1000s of logical databases (schemas). Each with their own dedicated storage, own security, own resource profile, etc.
Oracle is not mySQL/SQL-Server.
Understanding the differences is important.

SChannel Fails Authentication on Windows Server 2008 R2 Using TLS1

I am trying to use SChannel to secure a socket connection. I modified the example at
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa380537(v=vs.85).aspx, converting it from Negotiate to SChannel. Following the specs for the SSPI APIs I was able the get a Client & Server connection authenticated on Windows 7.
However, when I try running the same programs on Windows Server 2008 R2, either the Client side or Server side fails, depending on how I select the security protocol.

My initial attempt built an SCHANNEL_CRED structure following the documentation to set
grbitEnabledProtocols to 0, and let SChannel select the protocol. This worked on Windows 7, selecting TLS1. When I ran the same exe-s on 2008 R2, the Client program failed, with InitializeSecurityContext returning SEC_E_DECRYPT_FAILURE.
The failure occurred on the 2nd call, using phNewContext returned on the first call.
My next attempt set grbitEnabledProtocols to SP_PROT_TLS1_SERVER. This also worked on Win 7, but 2008R2 failed again, this time on the Server side. AcceptSecurityContext failed, returning SEC_E_ALGORITHM_MISMATCH.
TLS is a requirement for my project, but to try getting the sample to run, I next set grbitEnabledProtocols to SP_PROT_SSL2_SERVER. This did work for 2008R2, selecting SSL2, but now the Server failed on Win7 with AcceptSecurityContext returning
SEC_E_ALGORITHM_MISMATCH.
My final try was to set grbitEnabledProtocols to SP_PROT_TLS1_SERVER | SP_PROT_SSL2_SERVER, but that failed identically to the first case, with the Client on 2008R2 returning SEC_E_DECRYPT_FAILURE.
So my question is - What is required to get SChannel to select TLS regardless of the Windows version on which the programs are running?

Thank you for the reference. That did provide the information I needed to get TLS working. However, the documentation is not accurate with regard to setting the registry keys and values.
The tables all show DisabledByDefault as a subkey under the protocol. They also describe a DWORD value, Enabled, as the mechanism to enable/disable a protocol.
What I found is DisabledByDefault is a DWORD value under Client/Server and it appears to be the determining factor to whether a protocol is enabled/disabled.
The only way I was able to get TLS 1.1 working is with the following path present:
HKLM SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.1\Client
Under Client, I must have DisabledByDefault set to 0. With that, the Enabled value does not need to be present.
This held true for any level of TLS.
I also found the setting of grbitEnabledProtocols in the SCHANNEL_CRED structure to be misleading. From the description at
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379810(v=vs.85).aspx, I thought my Server program could set this field to 0, and SChannel would select the protocol as directed by the registry. What I found is that the structure flag must
agree with the registry setting for TLS to work. That is with the resgistry key above for TLS 1.1, I must set grbitEnabledProtocols to SP_PROT_TLS1_1.
Can you confirm the relationship between the SCHANNEL_CRED contents and registry state?

Installing Oracle 10.2.0 on Windows Server 2008 64bit

Dear all(s)
Recently i am running production database 10.2.0 on windows server 2003 32 bit. there is some memory limits and i cannot set SGA,PGA > 2 GB.
I want to mode production database 10.2.0 on windows server 2003 64 bit, please guide me in following topics:
1. What steps i have to take for moving database from 32bit to 64bit
2. After moving database on Microsoft windows server 2003 64bit, i can set SGA,PGA more than 4 to 6 GB
3. How much SGA,PGA i can configure
4. Dataguard also configured on another server for production database.
5. I have to again setup dataguard on 64bit.
6. What others seniors which i have to meet.
Waiting for response

Naeem,
+1. What steps i have to take for moving database from 32bit to 64bit+
You can make use of conventional export/import, investigate using data pump, transportable tablespaces, and RMAN backup/restore. Simplest will busing e conventional export/import
+2. After moving database on Microsoft windows server 2003 64bit, i can set SGA,PGA more than 4 to 6 GB+
I think you can go beyond 6gb may be upto 20gb (if system can hold that much :))
+3. How much SGA,PGA i can configure+
Depending upon your requirement, what kind of work you are doing database, large queries, lots of DML activities, transactions., how many users simultaneously (at the same time) will access your database?
+4. Dataguard also configured on another server for production database.+
+5. I have to again setup dataguard on 64bit.+
YOu should follow the same setup as your primary setup for same kind of services and performance
6. What others seniors which i have to meet.
I didn't understand what do you mean? Do you mean requriement?

Oracle Database XE with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)

I would like to find out if Oracle Database XE works with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)?
If not, is there any other Oracle Open Source Database version can work with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am installing W2k8 R2 Domain Controller with Oracle Express 10g.
This is the tip to make it work.
Go to the installer OracleXE.exe -> Right click + Select Properties + Compatibility + Run this program in Compatibility Mode fot + Windows 2003 Sp1
Then Select Run this Program as administrator.
After this run the OracleXe.exe and it will install properly.
Remember to double check that everything works fine.

Installing Oracle 11gR2 Standard Edition on WINDOWS Server 2008R2 with ASM

Hi,
I want to setup Oracle 11g DB (11.2.0.2) Standard Edition on Windows Server 2008R2 x64 bit with ASM Instance. I would appreciate if you could suggest me with the following little but important questions.
The following link from Oracle doesnt have 11.2.0.2 db version for windows x64 bit. Do a patch (which I think is a complete installation) is needed to install after installing 11.2.0.1? or I can directly install 11.2.0.2?
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win64soft-094461.html
Secondly, I have no such experience regarding installing and setting up ASM Instance on windows. How many disks or etc is needed for ASM (as ASM disks). One of the admin guy said, he has 6 disks (2 for OS and 6 you can use for Oracle or ASM so so). Could you please suggest, how should I divide the disk partitions of what should I say no idea :(
Also, do ASM instance (diskgroups,disks) should be setup before creating DB (through dbca?)
I was thinking like:
- Installing Oracle software
- Creating ASM disks,diskgroups,instance,etc
- Creating DB (using dbca?), isnt' it?
Bundle of thanks in advance.
Best Regards
