Oracle on Unix starting a process on Windows server

I have a situation where nightly processing is done by executables on a windows server while Oracle is on a Unix server. Can anyone tell me if I can get Oracle to start a process on the windows server please?
This question arises because I understand there are problems with window's own scheduling. I don't know what version of windows it is yet, but if anyone can reassure me about the reliability of windows scheduling on any version that would be great.
Thanks,
Jim.

Hi,
I ran a few jobs for about a year using task scheduler on Windows 2000 without any issues. Database was running on Sun. But if your processes are really that important, have them write a log, analyze that log for any errors, and send an email indicating success or failure.

Upgrade Oracle 11.1.0.6.0 x64 to Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 for Windows Server 2008

Hi,
I am a little confused because I have Windows Server 2008 64 bit operating system and had installed Oracle 11g 11.1.0.6.0 (x64) prior to the Oracle 11g 11.1.0.7.0 for Windows Server 2008 install package becoming available.
My database needs no backup of data as it is a fresh installation so its removal is not a problem.
To now upgrade to Oracle 11g 11.1.0.7.0 for Windows Server 2008 do I need to
a) Uninstall Oracle 11.1.0.6.0 (x64) and then install Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 on Windows Server 2008
or
b) Apply patch 6890831 (will this upgrade from 11.1.0.6.0 x64 to 11.1.0.7.0 for Windows Server 2008?)
Any help much appreciated as having looked at documentation I am still confused what I need to do.
Thanks.

Oracle Client 9.2.0.1 on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition???

Hi,
I will install the Oracle Client 9.2.0.1 on
Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, but when I run the
setup-program the following error is coming:
'Windows cannot open this program since it has been disabled.'
I think the program is suppressed by Microsoft.
Can anybody help me???
Thanks,
Norman

As Windows 2003 is officially released this week, I believe Oracle will shortly announce which versions of the database will be supported on Windows 2003. Stay tuned.

How to install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.2) in Windows Server 2003 x64 - Intel Xeon

I have tried to install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.2) in Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise Edition with Intel Xeon (EM64T) processors.
When I run setup.exe I get an error: "The image file C:\Documents and settings\administrator.SERVERNAME\my documents\92021 win64_disk1\setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine".
I have to install Oracle 9i in that server but I can't run the installation. Is there a way to solve this problem, is there a patch that can solve this? Anyone know something about this problem?
Thanks a lot!!!
I'm desperated!!

Hi,
reply to my own question:
In the docs provided with the downloads for Oracle Database Server 9i x64, I found that this version requires either
- Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition for 64-Bit Itanium 2 Systems
or
- Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for 64-Bit Itanium 2 Systems
So I guess, the only X64 platform being supported under Windows Server 2003 (both Datacenter / Enterprise Editions) is Itanium CPUs ...
... though this is not (!!!) clearly stated in the download link (other/newer versions are listed more precisely - I guess it's a matter of an old link: no Intel Xeon / AMD Opterons were available (???) when Oracle 9i database server was published).
So I'll give it a try with 10g database server ;-)))

Oracle 8.1.7.3 client on Windows Server 2008 64bit

Hi all!
I'm a newbie to Oracle and this forum, so please be gentle...:)
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7.3 client on a 64bit Windows Server 2008, without success. Best result I got so far is 'installed' client and provider, but unable to run the config tools, or use the provider. I installed the same client on a 32bit version of Win Server 2008 and it worked with few minor tweaks.
Reason I'm doing this is trying to integrate an old legacy Oracle 7 database with SQL Server 2008 using linked servers.
Upgrading to a recent version is not an option.
Anyone has any guidelines? please help, this is driving me nuts!
Thanx,
Igor

The client is included. Download it and start the installation. It should give you an option to select 'client only'.

Where is my problem? Please help. Thanks in advance!

That's the problem. DG4ODBC on 64bit Windows is 64bit and thus it also requires a 64bit ODBC driver.
If you don't find one - maybe you can install DG4ODBC 32bi on a 32bit platform (please do NOT install it on the 64bit Windows machine) and then use this 32biit DG4ODBC with the 32bit ODBC driver.
Another option would be to purchase a commercial ODBC driver or a bridged ODBC driver.

Problem starting AIR app from windows server 2003

Hello,
I have an AIR app that I am trying to run using a c#
webservice under Win 2003.
I am starting the application process (air .exe file) as the
"Network Service" user which has full-rights on the app-folder and
app-working folder. The problem is that once with the applications
the "Adobe AIR Updater.exe" process is starting to (using the same
user N.S.) and both of the processes stop responding.
I have tried to start the process as "Local Service" with
"Desktop Interaction" too but unfortunately with no result.
I must tell you that under XP and Vista it runs perfect...
Is there any security issue related to win 2003 or any way i
can start an air app from command line.
Also i am interested why "Adobe Air Updater.exe" is starting
?

Not sure about copying eulaAccepted file from one location to another - that would really depend on which user account your service is running under.
A better approach (IMHO), is to open the services window (My Computer | <right-click> | Manage, then navigate to Services and expand the tree) so you can see your service on the RHS.
Stop your service, then inspect it's properties, select the 'Log on' tab, then check the checkbox which says "Allow system to interact with desktop". Apply the change, then restart your service.
next time the AIR runtime prompts you to accept the EULA, the window will appear on the screen, so you can click "I accept".
After accepting, reverse the procedure which allowed the service to interact with the desktop, and make sure that you have modified the registry to prevent AIR from updating as mentioned in:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/air_admin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3 d11c0f59823a-7ff0.html
You should be all set.

Transfering data from oracle table to a file on a windows server

Hi
I have an oracle DB version 11.2 running on oracle enterprize linux 5.9. I would much appreciate an suggestions on how to transfer data from the oracle DB to a flat file on a windows server.
What i have done so far is to use utl_file to create a csv file on the oracle server and am now attempting to transfer this file. I was going to use scp or rcp but am unable to get this to work(was looking at filezilla). Another option i can use is ftp as i have a unix script which i can run to do this. All this is done through an oracle package which is run hourly through dbms_scheduler. I have been using sp_host_command to run unix commands directly from pl/sql so can use this to run a unix script for last resort if i cant find an easier way to automate this.
Any suggestions or options would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Gary

Well, using DBMS_SCHEDULER you can run o/s commands so you could use that to do your FTP or whatever to move the file.
Alternatively, you could write your own FTP package using the built in UTL_TCP package, or you can get hold of one of the freebie packages people have made available to do the same e.g.
ORACLE-BASE - FTP From PL/SQL in Oracle in Oracle

Where can I find the Oracle 11g R2 binaries to upgrade on Windows Server

Hi all,
I m currently testing external components with Windows Server and I want to test Oracle 11g R2.
The only resource I have is this website and the only binaries seem to be for Linux OS.
Does anybody know how I can upgrade my Oracle 11.1.0.7 version to the R2 release?
Thanks,
Bertrand

Windows Server Backup scheduled task run successfully but backup do not start (not running) on Windows Server 2012

Hi,
A backup job has been setup on Windows Server 2012 (Platform: Win32NT; ServicePack: ; Version: 6.2.9200.0; VersionString : Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0) via Windows Backup Software UI (Local Backup 1.0).
It is appearing as a scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup" belonging to user 'nt authority\system' in task scheduler.
The problem is that the Backup job never start despite the scheduled task running and completing successfully (when run automatically or manually)!
Would you be able to explain why and assist in resolving that issue?
Here is what we know:
When the backup is run manually via the Windows Backup Software UI, it works fine.
When the backup is run via command line (as set in schedule task) in a cmd command prompt (as local/domain 'administrator' or as 'nt authority\system' which is possible by running command prompt via 'PsExec.exe -i -s cmd'), something like "%windir%\System32\wbadmin.exe
start backup -templateId:{f11eb3aa-74e7-4ff4-a57b-d8d567ee3f77} -quiet", it works fine.
If you manually run the preset scheduled task while logged in as administrator, the task run and complete successfully but the backup job does not start.
Idem if you schedule task is run automatically at scheduled time.
The schedule task run and complete successfully but the backup job does not start.
It is confirmed by running the following in a command prompt as 'nt authority\system':
schtasks /run /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup"
SUCCESS: Attempted to run the scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup".
Despite success result, the Backup job does not start running...
No errors or warning appears anywhere in Event Logs (Microsoft > Windows > Backup or Task Scheduler) nor in the scheduled task History tab. The schedule task complete successfully but no Backup job is run...
If scheduled task automatically set by Windows Backup software is duplicated (copied) and set manually it runs fine as 'administrator' and as 'nt authority\system' (subject that 'nt authority\system' is added to the 'Backup Operators' AD group).
Here is an export of the current pre-set schedule task, is there any settings that need to be changed to make it works?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Once again, the issue is not to run the backup manually from the command line but to have it run via the scheduled task setup by the Windows Backup software.
By default, the schedule task is to be run as NT Authority\System, and when run under this account, the backup does not start (even though account is member of Backup Operators) and job can manually be run via elevated command prompt. This is not a normal
behavior and constitute a major bug in Windows Server 2012.
From my understanding the NT Authority\System account is a built-in account from Windows that should by default be part of the Administrators group (built-in) even though it does not explicitly appears like it in AD by default.
This account shall have by default Administrators rights and Backup Operators rights (via the Administrators group) without being explicitly added to those groups (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/ms684190%28v=vs.85%29.aspx). By design
it is supposed to be the most powerful account which has unrestricted access to all local system resources. If that is not the case (as it seems) then this would constitute a major bug in Windows Server 2012 edition.
As said previously and as you confirmed, currently by default NT Authority\System on Windows 2012 server cannot start backup manually via an elevated command prompt unless it is manually added to Backup Operators (or Administrators) group. But wouldn't that
constitute a bug of Windows Server 2012?
Our server has not yet been restarted since I added NT Authority\System account to the Administrators group explicitly manually so I cannot yet confirmed it would sort the issue. Indeed it is heavily in use so cannot easily be restarted. Will confirm when
done.
We also have an additional problem where after a while of last reboot, part of the Exchange ECP can no longer be properly loaded in the web browser due to compilation error (compilation is done via NT Authority\System account which seems to no longer have
sufficient right to compile .NET code). What is strange is that it works at first and then stop working at some point... I am hopeful that adding NT Authority\System to the Administrators group would sort this issue as well but once again, that shall not be
needed!!!
Could a Windows Server 2012 update introduced some security policy changes or else that prevent NT Authority\System to have full power?

Can we install Oracle 8i and 10g on the same windows server?

I would like to install the Oracle server 8i and 10g on the same windows server? Is this possible.
Forgive me if this question is already asked.
Thanks in advance!
Jay.

WHICH Windows version? (There's more than one). It would be useful to be a little bit more precise (NT,2000,XP,2003, 32/64 bit) .
For NT and 2000 it is possible to have both 8i and 10g, for XP and 2003 there's no support for 8i at all.

Does Oracle 11g 32-bit can run on Windows Server 2012 (64 bit) ?

Hello!
I´ve bought Oracle 11g Standard Edition One 4 years ago, (Release 1 11.1.0.6.0 )
and installed on a Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)
We ara planning migrate out BD to a new server with Windows Server 2012 (64-bits)
Can i install and use that Oracle version on the new server ?
or
Can i download and use the same version @ 64-bit with the licence i have with the 32-bit version?
or
Do i need to purchase a new Oracle version specially for 64bits?
Thanks in advance

Hello, me again... (sorry for insist)
4 years ago, we purchased and use an Oracle 11g Standard Edition One Release 1 ( 11.1.0.6.0) @ 32 bits, and runs very good on a winsvr 2008 @32 bits.
I was told i can run Oracle without problems on a WinSvr 2008 @ 64bits
So we'd like to move it to a new server (WinSvr2012 @64bits)
So my question is
* Can we download and use it legally a 64 bit version, or we need to purchase another licence?
* If so, where can i download it?
Thanks in advance

Cannot start virtual machine on Windows Server 2012

Hello,
I have a weird problem and have been unable to find a solution to it after two days of searching. I have Windows Server 2012 host on IBM x3500M2 machine. I set up a hyper-v platform (added the role, configured the storage and network) and created two virtual
machines. Now when I try to start either one of these VMs, using the Hyper-V manager, it throws this error:
"machine name" could not initialize
Could not initialize machine remoting system. Error: Element not found. (0x80070490).
Could not find a usable certificate. Error: Element not found. (0x80070490)
In the event log there is a similar error with the event IDs: 3040, 12460, 12500.
I tried clearing up the certificate from vmm/personal folder to recreate it again but to no avail. I found few articles regarding a similar problem on Windows Server 2008R2 but from what I can see this problem mainly occurs with SCVMM...

Hi,
Please restart your server or restart VMMS service to check the result.
In addition, I searched the internet and found that someone with the same issue has solved it by removing a
certificate from my Trusted Root Certificate Authorities container. The certificate is a self-signed cert generated by Remote Desktop Gateway service.
Hope it helps.

Hi,
Here is another sample for procedures.Kindly reward points by clicking the star on the left of reply,if it is useful.
Code Sample for writing a procedure with input and output parameters
REPORT zzz_jaytest.
* Getting the regno and total as input parameters
PARAMETERS : p_regno(10) TYPE c DEFAULT 'R1000',
                           p_total     TYPE i.
data : v_total type i.
* In this procedure, we are updating the total of a regno given as input.
* Here two parameters used in the procedure are input parameters.
* We are updating the record of regno entered in selection screen and
* adding the total entered to the already existing total. We have to give semicolon
* for the statement inside procedure.
exec sql.
CREATE or replace PROCEDURE PROC1 ( p_regno in char, p_total in number )
IS
    BEGIN
      UPDATE stu_det SET total = total + p_total where regno = p_regno;
    END;
endexec.
* This is the code to execute the procedure for update.
* While executing the procedure, the parameter variable should be
* preceded with colon :
EXEC SQL.
EXECUTE PROCEDURE PROC1 ( in :p_regno, in :p_total )
ENDEXEC.
* In this procedure, we are selecting the details for the regno entered
* as input. Here p_regno is input parameter and v_total is used as output
* parameter. So that we can use the retrieved value of v_total in our
* ABAP program
exec sql.
CREATE or replace PROCEDURE PROC2 (p_regno in char, v_total out char)
IS
    BEGIN
      select total into v_total from stu_det
                         where regno = p_regno;
    END;
endexec.
* This is the code to execute second procedure.
EXEC SQL.
EXECUTE PROCEDURE PROC2 ( in :p_regno, out :v_total )
ENDEXEC.
write : / 'Total of ', p_regno, ' is ', v_total.
