Oracle in Sun Solaris as opposed to HP

I have a question regarding a system we will have. It is being built on Oracle 9i in Sun Solaris environment. My question would be if someone suggests that to take this system and implement in a HP environment, will there be any problem?
Is there any whitepaper on applications developed for one environment being implemented in a different hardware platform? What are the risks factors and what can go wrong?
We have lots of HP machines in our organization and so the question had recently popped up in people's mind about why would we want to buy Sun hardware and have Solaris OS if we can have Oracle in the HP box? The vendor did not test to see if the application would work in a HP environment. But I would be interested to know if anyone ever experienced such scenarios or Oracle had done analysis of such cases. Appreciate any answers.

The ease of migrating to a different hardware platform will depend on the tools used to build the application.
In one of our systems, the server side programs are all written entirely in C. We have moved this application from Data General to HP to IBM. In each case, we installed Oracle, created a new database, exported the database from the old server and imported onto the new server. We then copied all of the application source onto the new box and re-compiled. Aside from a few very minor differences in rounding behaviour in the C libraries, everyting worked perfectly.
On the other hand, we have another application where the server-side code is all written in a dialect of MUMPS, with an emulator program running on top of the OS. This one can never be moved to new hardware.
Generally speaking, if the server-side code is written in a standard language, or if there is no server-side code, just a database, then the application should run just fine on any hardware supported by Oracle.

So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
- Server name ORACLE 9I DATABASE
- Filename
- Date/Time 5 JULY 2K2
- Browser + Version IE 6
- O/S + Version SUN SOLARIS
- Error Msg

I didn't see anything on the Sun site, but the disk arrived with my Solaris media. I have installed it on one machine (you need to create the "oracle" user id, the "dba" group, and you must set the tunable parameters for shared memory to install the software and example database.)
I tried to install a second machine and the Oracle installer terminates half way through without errors. I'm still working that issue.

How to start SAP and oracle on SUN SOLARIS SYSTEM

hi.
Please suggest
(Mistakenly we restarted the server when SAP is on and now SAP is not starting)
1. How to start the SAP ECC6 in sun Solaris.(version 10)
2.How to start the oracle in sun Solaris (version 10)
We are trying with
sh startsap SID
but it showing SAP SYSTEM NAME NOT FOUND
Please suggest'
Regards,

Dear Ravindra,
First start oracle :
login as orasid and login to sqlplus "/as sysdba"
and then startup and make sure that listener is up and running.
For that you can lsnrctl status, if its not started just do lsnrctl start.
After that login as sidadm and then startsap R3
If still if you face any error like system name not found.
then try as startsap R3 <hostname> or startsap SID <hostname>
Defenitely it will resolves your issue.
Thanks

Unix permission problem for external table in oracle 10g, sun solaris

Hello All,
I'm facing a problem in accessing external table which has stumped me a bit.
What I'm looking for is to use a external table with restricted permission to Others(770) on unix.
Would appreciate if someone helps me out here.
Here are the steps:
1.create directory ext_tab_dir1 as '/home/ravi/test'
2.grant read,write on directory ext_tab_dir1 to scott
3.CREATE TABLE scott.emp_load1(employee_number CHAR(5))
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (
type oracle_loader
default directory ext_tab_dir1
access parameters (
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ' '
optionally enclosed by '"'
missing field values are null
location ('info.dat')
Now I have added unix user oracle to unix group myDbGroup and provided myDbGroup read/write/exec permission on directory /home/ravi/test.
info.dat has been placed in /home/ravi/test.
#pwd
/home/ravi
#ls -l
drwxrwx--- 2 ravi myDbGroup 512 Mar 7 17:35 test
I have manually logged in as user oracle and successfully created a sample file in /home/ravi/test.
-rwxrwx--- 1 ravi myDbGroup 13 Mar 7 17:33 info.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 0 Mar 7 18:05 sampleFile
I then connect to the db using sqlplus as ravi and do a
#select * from scott.emp_load1
I get the following error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04063: unable to open log file emp_load1_18567.log
OS error Permission denied
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
After this, I gave full permission to /home/ravi/test
drwxrwxrwx 2 ravi myDbGroup 512 Mar 7 17:35 test
#select * from scott.emp_load1
And this was successful.
It created a log file in /home/ravi/test
-rwxrwx--- 1 ravi myDbGroup 13 Mar 7 17:33 info.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 0 Mar 7 18:05 sampleFile
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 0 Mar 7 18:05 emp_load1_18567.log
Now what stumped me is the owner and group owner of the file emp_load1_18567.log.
It is same as the sampleFile which I created manually!!
From this it can be deducted oracle is not using user id oracle while reading/writing to the unix directory but somehow assigning user id oracle as owner to the log file at the end.
If someone has encountered this problem earlier or has some info about this...pls share.
Regards,
Ravinandan

Thanks for the reply.
I have earlier checked this with NOLOGFILE option.
But no luck.
I would like to add one more detail(which I missed earlier) about the problem.
If I give 750 access to /home/ravi(That is read/exec to Group and none perm to Others),
I will get the same error(KUP-04063: unable to open log file emp_load1_18567.log).
This obviously means oracle is not even able to access the directory(Although unix user oracle has access via the group perms).

Auth for creating PO : SAP R3, Oracle 9i, Sun Solaris

Hi experts,
I need to give authorizations as follows.
1. Auth for creating PO (ME21N) for 10 users of Document type (M_BEST_BSA =All)
2. Auth for creating PO (ME21N) for 20 users of Document type (M_BEST_BSA =UB)
3. Display of POs (ME23N) to all 30 users for all document types.
Assume I have 30 users total. when i create roles and assign to users. All 30 users are able to create POs of all doc types.
Can someome give some clue. . . . or can it be done thro config settings
Adv thanks. . .

From what you have said, you are in a difficult position.
Auths are additive, so if you need M_BEST_BSA with actvt=01 and doc type = * in the same role (or any other role that is assigned to the users) there is no way that you can provide the restriction for ME21N.
Your options are:
- Restrict ME21N and ML81N in the same way
- Do not restrict ME21N but provide an alternative control, e.g. user training + review of each PO to ensure they are correct doc type
- Split the assignment of ME21N and ML81N to different users
- Find a user exit in ME21N that will allow an additional check on a custom object that includes doc type.
Hope that makes sense
Cheers
Alex

Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i on Sun Solaris 8

Hey,
Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8. The problem I met was: we followed the installation guide from the documentation. And we selected the choice "install software only". After it was done successfully, we run Database Configuration Assistant utility to create a database instance. But finally it always tried to create the instance at the root directory ( / ) which doesn't have enough space and then failed. The case was that we have set the enviroment parameters: $ORACLE_BASE = /export/mydata, $ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle9i. That means it should be installed at /export/mydata, but it didn't. Any help or advice are welcome. Thanks.
Simon

I have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 version from Windows and extracted it in Windows and copied it into DVD after extraction in two folders. Now I am mounting that DVD in Solaris 10 installed in my VMware . I made a new directory named as 'installation ' under /export/home/oracle and copied the folders from DVD to 'installation' folder. Now I am entering installation folder and try to do ./runInstaller as 'oracle ' user and getting the error mentioned before.

The following were the steps taken before encountering the above error
1. logged into a workstation

3. keyed in the following at the command prompt
DISPLAY=machine_name:0.0; export DISPLAY
4. executed the following from the command prompt
./runInstaller
Note: when executing the ./runInstaller, the preinstallation checking just hangs at Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. But the log file shows it failed during preinstallation checking as shown in Error encountered
Please help me with this problem.
Thank you
Ravindran Kanniah

It is because of UNIX shell. I also faced this error during installation.
First check your shell by the following command.
$ echo $SHELL
Then select the below.
For csh shell
$ setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
For sh,ksh and bash
$ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
After you do this check the value of DISPLAY variable.
$ echo $DISPLAY
If the DISPLAY variable is set then run ./runInstaller.
One advice: Keep a complete log of your terminal session. This will help you in future :)

How to upgrade oracle 32 to 64 bit on sun solaris x86 64 bit OS?

Hi,
I want to upgrade/convert 32 bit Oracle Database 10.2.0.2 to 64 bit database. Existing 32 bit database is RAC and it is running on Sun Solaris X86 64 bit OS.
First, I want to know is it possible?
If yes, then what are the exact steps?

Hi,
Such a migration can be done, just follow the steps in Metalink note 62290.1
It is important to remember that 64-bit database requires more shared pool memory so you should increase your shared pool size.

Moving Oracle 9i database from AIX server to Sun Solaris 9 server

I want to move my oracle 9i database residing on AIX server to Sun Solaris 9 server.
The database residing on AIX server has the following features :-
1. It is a production database.
2. Running in NOARCHIVE LOG Mode.
3. It was Live for few weeks, hence transactions are stored on it.
4. It has one schema,around 700 tables & 129 views.....etc
5. Huge downtime is affordable.
What is the safest way to do so ??
Yachendra

Hi Yachendra,
1. It is a production database.
2. Running in NOARCHIVE LOG Mode.By the way do you have any idea that PRODUCTION databases are always kept in ARCHIVE LOG Mode. It's is highly advice able.
3. It was Live for few weeks, hence transactions are stored on it.If you are really serious about your data and don't want to lose anything and wants to perform CROSS PLATFORM you must make sure that you have all your achive logs.
my oracle 9i database residing on AIX serverYou have already got the solution regarding that. Maran has told you for EXPORT/ IMPORT and Burleson has given you enough documents to consult.
Thanks

Dear all,
I am using Oracle 9.0.1.
I make a Hot Backup which made by Rman in the Sun Solaris
and now, I want to restore this backup to the Linux machine.
But in the Linux machine,
the database name & path is different from that in Sun Solaris.
Does Oracle backup can restore across different platforms?
Does anyone know how to do write ryman statement to do this?
Thank for your kindly help.

You cant resore backup in different platform.
