Oracle Installed Files locations

Guys,
Please explain me why Oracle stores some files (always) in C:\programFile\oracle, though we specifiy different drive/location for Oracle Home.
And whats the significance of that particualr folder and is dere any way to avoid having any oracle fiels in SYSTEM Drive...??
Regards,

On windows platforms it stores generic used files, such as those used by the Oracle Inventory and JInitiator and its own jre environment.
- bin
- Inventory
- JInitiator 1.3.1.22
- jre
- oraconfig
- oui
What you see installed on other directories, explicitly declared are the Oracle Home related directories.

*unselected "Sync music" from the appropriate tab. And iTunes warned: if you do this, we will delete every playlist and song on your iPod*
To change to manually managing an iPod you don't "unselect" sync music, you "select" manually manage songs and videos. If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod by checking the box beside "manually manage songs and videos" in the Summary tab and clicking Apply. Your iPod will not sync with iTunes in this mode so it can have different content, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
One major word of caution. If you delete songs or videos from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD: How to back up your media in iTunes
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod
I don't have any TV shows so I can't speak from experience here but looking at the TV tab it appears you can only sync shows, there's no manually manage option. Syncing would require that you keep the shows on your computer otherwise they would be removed from the iPod the next time you syncronised with iTunes.

Oracle.prm file locations

We have changed our oracle.prm file date parameters to fix an issue similar to the error reported in message 1952314 ORA-01843 http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1952314. We made changes to two lines in the file under the <business object install>\dataaccess\connectionserver\oracle\extension\qt. The changes we made were
<Parameter Name="USER_INPUT_DATE_FORMAT">'MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss'</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="DATABASE_DATE_FORMAT">MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS</Parameter>
Question1. What is the definition of the directory structure under oracle extensions e.g. qt? There are multiple copies or oracle.prm containing different parameters.
Question2. Where are these file stored for use by the WEBI rich client server install? We need to have the user receive this custom content when they install the rich client from our server.

Hi Roger,
The PRM files actually state the functions that are normally available in a database, including the standard format.
They are what drives the list of functions available when you build the SELECT definition or CONDITION definitions in Information designer... The fact that a function needs aggregation or/not is also determined in there.
For more info please refer the guide.

Are Oracle Install Files Code Signed?

Hi All
I appreciate that Oracle products can provide a CA service that allows exploitation of X.509 certificate and PKI related services (e.g., code signing), but does Oracle have its own corporate Code Signing CA to sign its own products and applications to ensure and prove that it is valid Oracle software.
I have been searching for an Oracle CA cert high and low on the Net and can find no evidence. Oracle's secure signing cert seems to be issued from Verisign?
Does Oracle get its code signing certs from Verisign?
Keep the faith dudes ;oD

1.2 Gigs of RAM is way more then is required, so you shouldn't really be running out of RAM. What is the available RAM (Task Manager), before the install starts? Is anything else running?
If you need to get this done in a hurry, then you should contact either Oracle or Compaq support about this. Either could help faster then waiting for someone who had the same problem respond to your post.
Like I said, I'm a UNIX guy so I can't really help further.

Oracle 8 ver 8.1.7 log file location

Dear all
Do you know where is the Oracle log file location in OpenVMS platform? Please advice. Thanks

8i is no longer available to download, it is only available at the oracle intranet under explicit request. I advise you to ask your Oracle representative for a copy of 8i. Here in the forum I suggest you to post a new thread at the download forum, and let people there know you want to have 8i for downloading at otn.
I have seen several, certainly a lot of requests of 8i media, here in the forum, but not on the download section. I encourage you to let people who is monitoring this site to let them know your request.

How do i find the location of Oracle password file in the HDD

we giv the location of the password file while we use the orapwd command to create one.
later if we forget the location of the password file (incase it is not at the default location) then is there a way to find it or do we just create a new password file?
secondly, for oracle to use the password file we giv the remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE' in the parameter file. wat tells oracle the location of the exact password file??
Thanks
Arvind
Edited by: iinfi on Sep 29, 2008 12:15 AM

The default location are OS dependant.
On Unix/Linus it is under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
On Windows, it is under %ORACLE_HOME%/database
To change the default location, nothing inside database, but :
On Unix/Linux, you have to create a symbolic link for that file to the target location
On Windows, you have to change env variable (regedit) ORA_PWFILE and ORA_SID_PWFILE
So, you have to check this setting for the real password file location.

Cannot install PhotoShop CC "Error writing to temporary file location", how do I fix this?

     I am working on a Mac OS X Server, version 10.6.8
     I use my Adobe applications - Indesign, PhotoShop, Illustrator, and a couple of others - primarily for school work (graphic design). I download the applications from my Adobe Application Manager, but they recently stopped working. I didn't know if this was due to recent updates or the fact that I had just changed out my hard drive when the original one failed. I uninstalled the applications, and am trying to re-install them, but am receiving the error message, "Error writing to temporary file location".
     Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it just because I'm running 10.6.8? If so, can I make my applications work without getting a whole new computer?

Please refer PS system requirements from this link:

11g Agent Install - ERROR: Error:Oracle Agent Home Location cannot be null

Problems with file location variables and Oracle 9i

I'm new to Oracle and I'm seeing if I can get Oracle 9i running and do anything useful for me on a Solaris 9 platform.
The installation of Oracle went OK except step three, creating a starter database. The installation wanted to put it on the same file system as {ORACLE_HOME} although I told the installation that I wanted {ORACLE_BASE} on another file system. So of course there wasn't enough room on the file system to make the starter database.
I thought I'd be able to correct this after installation. I tried to make a General Purpose Database with Database Configuration Assistant but DBCA in step 5 of 7, File Location Variables still shows {ORACLE_BASE} to be the same as {ORACLE_HOME}, and no way to change that variable on this screen. Don't I want to change { ORACLE_BASE} to a file system that has enough space to make the data base? How do I change this variable? When logged in as the oracle user, I don't see it listed by setenv.
When I ignored this setting and tried to finish DBCA, it hung.

I looked for the {ORACLE*} environmental variables in the profile and login files of my oracle user, but didn't find that they were added by my Oracle setup. So I didn't think defining them as environmental variables would persist or overrule the global variables set at dbca run time.
In the dbca windows, step 5 displays these global variable settings provocatively in a table, as if Oracle wants me to verify and edit them if necessary, but I keep poking at them with right mouse clicks, left mouse clicks, backspace, and delete, but all I can do is turn them blue.
Currently when I use dbca to try to create a general purpose database, it hangs at 50% done, but not much space is used up on {ORACLE_HOME}. So it doesn't really look like the hang is caused by the disk being full. One of the processes that is hung is jre, so I thought I'd review the Oracle requirements and locations for JRE on my system.

File locations / Oracle Managed Files / raw

Hi,
looking into installing 10g on a multidisk Linux box and I'm trying to understand the best way to lay out the box for best resilience, performance etc.
What I'm trying to understand is whether I should use raw devices for datafiles, or Oracle Managed Files? I'm guessing for performance reasons that the ideal is to run the database server on a different drive from the OS (both of which use hardware RAID1) but can OMF sit on top of hardware RAID - what about raw device on top of hardware RAID?
If we had RAM to play with (we do) would there be a significant performance gain in having the database server run from a ramdisk, or is it better to devote the RAM to, say, a larger SGA or PGA ?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

I found it:
ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE SIZE 51200K;
I had a little trouble finding it so if anyone needs it.

Hi,
Yes, Solution describe in 350251 - Creating a New or 2nd Oracle SID with runInstaller
"THE SOLUTION"
The good news is the solution is very simple and takes a few seconds
First cd /var/opt/oracle
You will find a file called oraInst.loc # cat oraInst.loc
inventory_loc=/oracle/PR1/oraInventory
inst_group=dba
Use vi or emacs to edit the file and change the inventory_loc to the directory of the oracle instance you are currently installing. ie inventory_loc=/oracle/PR2/oraInventory
Restart your oracle installer eg. su - orapr2
cd /oracle/stage/816_64
setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
./runInstaller

Problems with file locations

Hi,
I've done a file location, but I've problems when I register the location with the next root path (This directory is on my local host):
c:\test\
All works fine, but when I execute the mapping that contais the file (prueba.dat), I obtain the next error:
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (c:testprueba.dat)
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
SQL*Loader-509: System error: No such file or directory
SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.
I have problems with the character "\", because it doesn't appear in the file name (view SQL*Loader-500).
I'm using Windows XP as local host, Oracle Wareuse Builder installed on a Linux Machine, version 9.2.0.4.0
Any idea of what could happen?
Thanks in advance,
Carlos.

I am using the client OWB11 through CITRIX (an emulator Xterm - similar to anyone else). In the configuration of my locations, I am not using local directories of my Win, I use only unix directories, such as (/ swpkg/oracle/11g/owb/bin/unix). Now DBAdministrator asked him to verify the existence of these directories.
We attach the Log generated by OWB.

Tnsnames.ora file location in WIndows 7

I just installed Oracle XE 10g on my PC running windows 7. I was told that the tnsnames.ora file was located in C:\XEClient\Network\Admin, however i see no such folder in my XE CLient folder.
Any Ideas?

As long as the oracle install has completed OK and set your environment, a cmd box tnsping should reveal the location the %ORACLE_HOME% is using for client setup
Hit Start/Run and type in cmd (does that work in Win7? Or is it the the PowerShell icon) to get to a command line prompt:
$ tnsping anyname
TNS Ping Utility ...
Used parameter files:
C:\oraclexe\...\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
...That network\admin folder is the location for the tnsnames.ora file for your install-

ERROR SPECIFYING ORACLE CLUSTER REGISTRY LOCATION

Hi all,
im implementing oracle RAC 10g on Linux version 4, now i've already prepaired the shared disks on my nodes my situiation is am facing a problem in installing the clusterware where in specifying Oracle Cluster Registry Location it gives me an ERROR saying "The Location entered for the Oracle Cluster Registry is not shared across all the nodes in the cluster. Specify a shared raw partition or cluster file system file that is visible by the same name on all nodes of the cluster".
Thanks in advance!

No wonder! How can node2 see the drive which is local to node1??? I am assuming this is for your home testing. You need to have some kind of shared storage to implement RAC - typical examples are FireWire or alternatively NFS shares/mounts. There is an article on OTN which talks about implementing RAC using Firewire in RAC. Or you check out my blog entry http://chandradba.blogspot.com/2007/08/oracle-11g-rac-install-on-red-hat-50.html which talks about implementing RAC using NFS shares.
As I said, these configuration are not for other than your own testing....meaning non-production usage.

When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete them, FireFox won't open. I tried deleting FireFox and reinstalling it multiple times, and a message pops up sometimes that says FireFox may not have installed correctly, so I follow the steps, but all the extra icons on my desktop don't go away. This has happened every time I have downloaded FireFox. The browser itself works, but I need to know how to get rid of these icons, but still be able to use FireFox. This is on a new computer, with Windows 7.
