Oracle on linux as service

i start up windowz and directly launch sql*plus tool... it just asks for the username and password..and then i am good to go ,because the database is running as a service at the back end.
but on linux I log on as oracle user,do the following:
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
startupthen it starts up and i am good to go.....
question--is there a way to work on linux as i am doing in windowz like just entering the username and password and not to "start up the database" every time i start system...

Hope you don't mind - I'll just cut and paste the answer I provided to the identical question on the comp.database.oracle.server newsgroup. I'll be polite and assume you are not the same person asking here as well as there ...
Sure -
In Windows, you are good to go because the service starts as part of the reboot.
The counterpart in Linux/Unix is to add the service startup to the appropriate initialization scripts.
Oracle provides the 'dbstart' and 'dbshut' routines and they can be invoked as part of the /etc/init? setup. This varies by Linux/Unix variant.
Setting this up is actually documented as well - in the "Oracle9i Installation Guide Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for UNIX Systems: AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, and Sun Solaris" - the section titled "Automating Database Startup and Shutdown for HP, Linux and Solaris (Optional)"

Unable to auto start database/listener/EM on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5

All Experts
I have install oracle 11g on Oracle Enterprize Linux 5 successfully.
done all post installating steps, but when i restart server oracle listener/database/EM not automatically start.
Please guide what is wron (server dbora error: /bin/sh: :No such file or directory).
1. Log in as the root user
2. Edit the oratab file (SID=Y)
3. Create a file called dbora
4.Run chmod and chgrp on the dbor file
# chgrp dba dbora
# chmod 750 dbora
6.Creat symbolic links to the dbora script
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K01dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora
7. add service
# chkconfig --add dbora
# chkconfig –list dbora
0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off
# ls -l /etc/rc*.d/*dbora
# !/bin/sh -X
# chkconfig: 35 99 10
# description: Start and stop the Oracle database, listener, EM, and iSQLPlus
# Change the value of ORACLE_HOMe to specify the correct Oracle Home Firectory for your installation.
# Change the value of ORACLE to the login name of the oracle owner at your site
ORACLE_HOME=/oradisk/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db
ORACLE=oracle
PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
HOST="hostname"
PLATFORM="uname"
export ORACLE_HOME PATH
if [ ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart ]
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case $1 in
'start')
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME"
'stop')
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME"
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit
esac
exit

does the script work when you log on to your freshly started system, logon as root and execute /etc/init.d/dbora start?
the script does not have to have group membership of the dba group.
also, do not create symlinks yourself.
by adding the service using chkconfig the script is started and stopped as indicated by chkconfig --list, no need to do additional steps like creating symlinks.

hello support,
i've installation problems with oracle 11g R2 on oracle enterprise linux 5 update 5. In the section "ORACLE Net-Konfigurationsassisten" the failure "[INS-20802] Oracle NET-Konfigurationsassistent not success". What's wrong? I've followed the instructions on http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/smiley-11gr1-install.html
I've heard the problem can occur with problems in /etc/hosts? My /etc/hosts is configured:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1          oracle localhost.localdomain localhost

is this ok? what can I do to bring the database-installation to success?
Thank's for help ;-)

Oracle on Linux recommendations

Hello,
I'm looking to migrate our Oracle installation from Windows to Linux. I am an experienced Linux administrator and architect, and I am also very familiar with SAN storage, but have not looked at the details of implementing Oracle on Linux before. I have certain constraints dictated by our client requirements and available hardware. Namely, the hardware platform will be 2 HP DL580's connected via dual fibre to HDS (Hitachi) 9900V storage. There will be multiple luns presented for different containers. As a result of the multiple storage paths we require good multipath IO support. For this reason my first choice is Redhat Enterprise AS 5. However, on the database side we are limited due to client application compatibility to Oracle 10g R1/R2. We are looking to deploy RAC. We are also looking at 64bit for larger file and memory support. Is this realistic?
What sort of configuration should I be looking at?
Should I be looking at Oracle Enterprise Linux 5?
Am I going to have problems if we want to use RHEL5?
Is Oragle 10g well supported on RHEL5/OEL5 or will I have to drop to RHEL4/OEL4 (which may cause problems for my SAN mpio support.)
Will we require OCFS2 for any reason?
What advantage is there to me in running unbreakable linux? I've read the marketing blurbs but it is not clear to me what the advantages are.
Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks,
Sheldon.

Hi,
I think it is Okay to you mentioned configuration to deploy the RAC based on 10g &RHEL5/OEL5.As a matter of fact,Oracle 10gR2 64-bit has been certified on RHEL5-64bit&OEL5-64bit.
Actually,OCFS2 and ASM are supported by Oracle RAC.The recommended way to manage large amounts of storage in a RAC environment is ASM (Automatic Storage Management).If you want to use the cluster file system,OCFS2 as an open source project is provided.
OEL5 is fully compatible with RHEL5.Unbreakable Linux is support service.If you choose the OEL5,you can benefit from it as below:
1,Oracle Enterprise Linux is Free to Download.For Enterprise customers had to pay for a support contract to actually get an enterprise Linux distribution, even if they just wanted to evaluate it. With Oracle Unbreakable Linux, customers can always download the binaries and the source code for free, no support subscription required.Free download at: http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux
2,Oracle applied a number of bugfixes on top of the original code. These are very limited in scope, and they are critical for customers to have as soon as possible in their production deployment. For a complete listing, read the following data sheets:http://www.oracle.com/technologies/linux/el5cert-ds.pdf
3,Extensive Testing:
Tremendous effort has gone into assuring that there is no divergence from the original Red Hat source code, given that the main goal of Oracle Enterprise Linux and the Oracle.
4,Patches and Bugfixes
Another aspect of compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux is around patches and bugfixes written by Oracle and not appearing in the Red Hat distribution.
5,Pay less money and get more professional support service:)
See more details please refer to http://linux.oracle.com

Oracle 11g on Oracle Unbreakable Linux

OK,
I have installed 11g on a new installation of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5. Everything seemed to go OK except the swap space was set to 2Gb and 11g wanted 3.4Gb. The documentation I found on ONT said that was fine and normal as the default install gives only 2Gb. I created a startup DB of JSI. I can connect to is using sqlplus user@JSI. However, when I try to connect using ..... $ sqlplus user/password@host:1521/JSI I get this error....
ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA
I am also having other issue but want to look at the one at a time to see if on fixes the other.

OWB 10.2.0.1 installation on Oracle Enterprise Linux

Hello Forum,
I am installing OWB 10.2.0.1 on Oracle Enterprise Linux.
While installation (creation of OWB reprository) i am getting following exception:
A spawned program error. Exception = java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: ../unix/jvm.sh: cannot execute

Does anyone has faced such issues.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi!
I want suggest you to investigate inside script '../unix/jvm.sh' searching for Java enviroment variables (it's possible that your enviroment is lacking of presence of some of them).
Good luck!

Oracle on Linux - opinions ?

I'm after a source of info relating to the pro's and con's of running Oracle 8i on a Linux platform. If anyone can suggest a suitable Website or independant White paper that would be great ! Thanks.

For the record, we support Oracle 8i and Oracle Applications 11i on a number of platforms including Sun, NT/2000, Linux and HP-UX so I have no bones to pick with any vendor (or rather, I have bones to pick with nearly all).
For my money, Sun is hands down the most stable platform for Oracle but you pay up front for not having to pull your hair out, later. In stark contrast, the Linux du jour will be cheap on startup costs but better hope that you aren't paying your dba/system admininstrator by the hour (more, later).
Somewhere in the middle (muddle) is NT/2000 which seems to install fairly easily and provides a GUI interface to almost everything which keeps you from having to know what you are doing, but, NT/2000 seems to hang, inexplicably, from time to time, even on a fresh install, so I could not rate it the most reliable platform. Also, the 8i/Active Directory integration stinks. Better to scrap it and get a real-life LDAP server if you are going to use LDAP for authentication.
Now, to Linux. The problem, here, is complicated. First of all, you have a couple of kernels to choose from (not RedHat/Corel, rather, 2.2.x versus 2.4.x) each of which has strengths and weaknesses. Then, you have what the vendors have done to Linux, which frequently makes it worse. For example, RedHat decided to release 7.0 with a developmental version of the C compiler (2.96) which they probably thought that they could do because they now own Cygnus, but I ended up having to strip it down and build a Linux From Scratch (LFS) system, just so I had some purity.
You could go to RedHat 6.0/6.1/6.2 but then make sure that your Linux box isn't on the Internet because you have enough holes in the OS to walk a flock of cattle through.
To my mind, Oracle should skip the various vendor implementations of Linux and, instead, release a reference implementation on an LFS system. It would be far cleaner and vendor neutral and besides, if you want Oracle you probably don't want most of the garbage that comes from commercial Unix vendors, anyway, so LFS makes sense.
In any event, don't expect the Oracle on Linux install to be easy unless you get the vendor (e.g. RedHat) release, and then you have to deal with the vendor quirks in the OS. If you want a cheap platform, spend a few extra bucks and get 2000/Intel or, get a cheap Sun on eBay and get a near bullet-proof implementation where at least you won't have to worry about whether it is a Service Pack or libc version issue.

Integrating Oracle Fusion Sales Cloud with Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service (BICS)

Ever wondered how to integrate Oracle Fusion Sales Cloud with Business Intelligence Cloud Service (BICS) ?
The blog outlines how to programmatically load Sales Cloud data into BICS, making it readily available to model and display on BICS dashboards.
http://www.ateam-oracle.com/integrating-oracle-fusion-sales-cloud-with-oracle-business-intelligence-cloud-service-bics/

I wouldn't try installing Oracle VM itself on an EC2 instance, as EC2 is essentially Xen itself. Rather, you should just be able to transport existing Oracle VM images to the EC2 cloud. I think this is what you mean, but your opening paragraph is slightly ambiguous. :)
From a VPN perspective, I'd use OpenVPN as it has clients for all major operating systems (Windows, MacOS X, Linux) that are fairly easy to package and install. Packages for OpenVPN exist in EPEL so it's easy to install on OEL5. You could also consider using a firewall instead of a VPN and only allowing connectivity from specific IP addresses/ranges. This has the benefit of not requiring client software, but it does require a fixed IP address/range on the client-side.

Run Oracle on Linux VMware kit in runlevel 3

Hi,
Anyone has managed to run Oracle on Linux VMware kit in runlevel 3 instead of 5, i.e. no GUI.

I have managed to run Redhat linux in run level 3, by editing /etc/inittab and change the run level to 3.
However, the RAC services didn't managed to start up. When I run crsstat, it gets cannot connect to CRS.

Is vsftpd included in the Oracle Enterprise Linux Server Release 5.3?

Hi there,
I have just installed Oracle Enterprise Linux server release 5.3 (Tikanga). I was trying to setup the "vsftpd" service but was unable to find it. Do you know if vsftpd is distributed along with 5.3 or do I need to install it seperately? Although there is "gssftp" and I configured the same.
In case anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I need this vsftpd thing also. Someone told me that it works as a file server right? We need to have sa centralized repository of all our Oracle Apps Documentations (BR100, MD50, Oracle Tutor, Test Scripts, TA100, etc)
How do you configured this thing as "centralized" repository?
Thanks a lot,
Ms K
