Oracle Options licensed 1:1 with Oracle Ent. Edition 11gR2 or by Instance?

Are Oracle Options licensed 1:1 with Oracle Ent. Edition 11gR2 (e.g. by CPU core multiplier) or by number of database instances on a host? In other words, if I need to purchase two Oracle Enterprise Edition licenses for a single host, do I need to purchase the same number of Oracle Option licenses (again, based on a CPU core multiplier). Or by the number of Oracle database instances installed on that host?
Anyone have a link to an official Oracle options licensing document that spells this out? Found one for 11g but it didn't get down into the weeds, saying if there was any difference between # of licenses required for an Option vs. a license for Oracle Enterprise Edition itself.
Requested Oracle option licensing reference

They are licensed 1:1 with EE, so 4 EE licenses means 4 Partitioning Option licenses, etc.
It is in the Oracle Store.

  • CONNECTING ORACLE 9I OR 10G DATABASE WITH ORACLE 10G FORMS AND REPORTS

    pls tell how to connect oracle 9i or 10g database with oracle developer suite 10g . though the forms are getting connected but not running with error as
    FRM-10142 the HTTP listner is not running on pls start the listner or check your runtime preferences.
    now pls tell how to start listner and how to chage runtime preferences.
    though i have worked with oracle 9i and forms 6i where we used to copy the tnsnames.ora from network/admin of oracle to forms 6i tnsnames.ora.
    thank you, you may be thinking such a long question.....

    sir
    By server i mean the computer where oc4j and backend database are running is one one of the client pc not a dedicated server..., these database and 10g dev suite are installed in one of the client machine,
    all the clients are using same internet explorer as browser.
    no message is being displyed on some of the client machine where these forms are not being uploaded on browser instead it displays as done in status bar without actually showing anything at all...
    sir so far as jinitiator or JRE is concered i have seen on the client machine (where my forms are running on internet explorer) a pop up is displyed telling one activex control is required to run this program and click to install it..
    after clicking it download jinitiator from server and after installing jinitiator my forms are loaded and start functioning...
    what i feel is as i said this machine where oc4j and database is running is one of the client machine so some other clients do not have acess to this machine, so this might be the reason why those clints are not able to run the said forms on the internet explorer.... can it be so... kindly tell..
    thank you for your patience for reading the question

  • How to configure my oracle jdeveloper 11g preview 4 with oracle 8i database

    hi every one
    my requrirement is to configure my oracle jdeveloper 11g preview 4 with oracle 8i database with (thin driver)
    thanks in advance

    Prapan,
    JDev 11g TP4 comes with 11g JDBC drivers, which do not support connecting to any database v 9.0.1 or earlier.
    So, back to you... depends upon what you want to do. If you want to write your own code to connect to a database using 11g, get ahold of some JDBC drivers that support 8i and have away. If you're talking about getting the database development stuff (e.g. the embedded SQLDeveloper) to work, you're probably out of luck.
    So, please define "configure my oracle jdeveloper 11g preview 4 with oracle 8i database"

  • Installing Apex 4 on Oracle 11.2.0.3 with Oracle HTTP Server on WINDOWS

    Has someone put together a cookbook on installing the above? I have tried following the documentation; but it is in dire need of updating. I have become quite confused as to how to piece together alll of the parts. Seemed much easier in 10.2...
    TIA!

    TIA!After a database re-install on my Windows 7 laptop 2 months ago I tried to install the HTTP server but had trouble getting it to work. After a day or two I gave up and used the EPG which works with some performance issues - pages can take many seconds to render. I think there is a conflict between the EPG and security software on the laptop but have not been able to pin down the exact problem. Anyway, the EPG is not an option for you and even Oracle does not reccommend it for production implementations. The EPG is okay for quick-and-dirty R & D but real implentation should have something better. I prefer the EPG on my laptop because the Apex listener required an extra window to be open that I was likely to close by mistake (my error yes. Reality is sometimes stupid).
    I have had several sucessful installs on older versions of Apex on Oracle 9 and 10 on Windows XP using the HTTP server but always struggle with the configuration; getting the settings in the .conf file (whatever it is called now) correct remains difficult (at least for me). I keep installation notes on problems encountered and their solutions. Typical issues I encounter are
    1. Incorrect configuration file settings
    2. Improper loading of images
    3. Missing installation steps (unlocking ANONYMOUS, for instance, or not updating the PL/SQL version).
    4. Make sure the correct URL is being used
    5. When using the HTTP Server making sure it is running by using its URL is very heplful
    Follow the installation instructions for your platform and listener. If something does not work first review the installtion instructions very carefully, then perform web searches for answers to the problem. Except for last time when I lost patience with the HTTP server the installations have always worked.
    I also find Windows 7 painful - the added security prevents me from editing needed files without jumping through hoops. I don't even want to think about Windows 8 ...

  • Server Hardware for Oracle Database 11g Release 2 with Oracle Spatial

    Hi ,
    We're to set up an Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise with Oracle Spatial.
    Can you provide me the possible Server Hardware CPU / Memory specs , number of CPUs,type of OS and teh Model, for Spatial which a million users hits the database via a webservice?
    The vendor suggested us SDD instead of HDD, any performance hike on this?
    Budget seems to okay but I think Exadata will be too dear.
    Your insights is much appreciated.Anything relating to setting up a server with spatial is greatly appreciated.
    P/S: Been a programmer and don't knwo much about server hardware specs.

    It depends.
    Seriously - before anyone can offer anything but generalities here you need to really define exactly what you expect the database to deliver.
    In general however, I will throw out these questions and ideas...
    For instance - you say a million users "hit" the database (via a web service). Is that WFS, WMS, KML or ???
    Over - how long? A year? A month? A minute? A million hits over a year spread out evenly is only about 2 per minute.
    And what is a hit? A single random record? Or about 10,000 records in the same spatial area... or? And for each record - are you returning simple point data - or hugely complex polygons with thousands of vertexes each?
    How does this software work? Is it custom - or is it well known? Does it really query the database for every map (I assume it is a map service) feature - or does it read an area once and cache it in the middle tier? Or does it do something really smart and use cached tiles for static data - overlayed with vectors for dynamic data?
    And although you say Oracle Spatial - are you really using Spatial - or just Locator functions (less processing in general)? And if spatial - are you doing raster in the db - or 3D analysis - or other special functionality?
    SSD vs. HDD. - If you can buy a server with more RAM than the data set size (pretty easy these days) - and you do mostly reads (almost always the case for a map app) - buy a small cheap array of RAID'd HDD's - internal to the server is fine. Once the data is read into RAM - the HDD's do basically nothing.
    Server CPU and memory. Amount - see above. CPU Speed (use performance benchmarks - not GHz numbers) AND memory speed (often overlooked) - buy as fast as possible. Why? You pay for licenses by the core (2 cores per license for x64). And HW is MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper than Oracle licenses. Plan to upgrade HW every year if necessary to avoid buying more licenses (sounds crazy - but it is much cheaper).
    This may seem like a lot - but these questions are just the tip of the iceberg. I have been in charge of spec'ing, building, and programming spatial systems now for about 20 years, so I have a pretty good idea of how to do enterprise scale computing on a Ramon-noodle budget.
    Smart clean software is your friend - don't ask the HW to do anything unless absolutely necessary (cache results and reuse as much as possible), and you can get crazy performance from minimal hardware.

  • Oracle 11g XE not working with oracle BI publisher 10g after enabling ACL

    Hello,
    I previously work with oracle 10gXE and Oracle BI publisher 10g and it work fine. now i install oracle 11g XE and try to configure it with oracle Bi Publlisher, it show this error
    "ORA-29273: HTTP request failed ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1324 ORA-12570: TNS:packet reader failure" after runing the ACL package to neable network service.
    on the database.
    Please can any body tell be why this is not working. Tanx.

    You'll need to add the apex engine owner to the ACL (Access Control List). Depending on your version of apex the user name varies. i.e. 4.0 is APEX_040000
    See Joel's blog for info about the ACL and APEX.

    because the message when i test connection always is filed and I'm sure i typing username and password and SID:orcl as i set when install database.port 1158 is what the dbcontrol (Oracle Enterprise Manager) is listening on. OEM is NOT the database. As far as the database is concerned, OEM is "just another client".
    Actually, the database doesn't listen for requests on any port. There is another process, the "listener" that listens for requests to connect to the database. Typically, it listens on port 1521. You should have a tnsnames.ora file set up to resolve a connection request to the correct host. You can read more on this at http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/sqlnet_overview/

  • Oracle Single Sign on Integration with Oracle EBS  r12

    Hello,
    I am working on a project to integrate Oracle Single Sign On on Oracle r12. There is plenty of information available on Oracle Support but few inter-mixing and confusing terminology keeps popping up and I do not understand how all pieces together work. I am new to Oracle Single Sign On.
    Here are few basic questions.
    1. What is the difference between Oracle Internet Directory, Oracle Virtual Directory and Oracle Active Directory
    2. Are the terms Identity Management and Oracle Single Sign On interchangeable?   What is the difference between two?
    3. What is Oracle Access manager and how different that is from Identity Management?
    4. What is Oracle HTTP Server 11g webgate and how different that is from a normal traditional Oracle HTTP Server?
    5. What is Oracle EBS Accessgate?  Why do I need it?  On metalink some notes do not indicate use of Accessgate at all for OSSO deployment while some makes it look like required.And advise on above will help.
    Thank you
    Darsh

    Hi Darsh,
    1. Oracle Internet Directory (OID) is Oracle LDAP storage solution (more here), Oracle Virtual Directory is Oracle solution that can read identity data (and filter it (mask it) based on policies) from Oracle/non-Oracle databases, Oracle/non-Oracle Directories and files and provide the user profiles as LDAP view (more here), There is nothing called Oracle Active Directory, you must be referring to Microsoft Active Directory.
    2. No, Oracle Single Sign On (OSSO) is a feature in iAS (its obsolete), Identity Management is wide umbrella of solutions and concepts.
    3. Oracle Access Manager is one component of Oracle Identity and Access Management suite of products.
    4. Webgate is Oracle access Manager agent that is installed on a webtier, it intercepts the web requests and collect the credentails, send them to Oracle Access Manager for security evaluation (decide what Authentication is needed, verify collect credentials, etc), webgate then enforce the Access Manager decision.
    5. Oracle EBS AccessGate is a java application that has the same use of OAM Webgate (it is OAM agent) but specific to E Business suite, EBS Access Gate is the new solution replacing OSSO agents, OAM is replacing OSSO server component, EBS and OSSO customers can use OAM server with OSSO agents, or with EBS AccessGate.

  • Monitoring Oracle Glassfish or Generic URL with Oracle Grid Control

    How are people monitoring Oracle Glassfish with Oracle Grid Control?
    I really just need to monitor the URL right now, is the only method to setup a system and monitor a generic web test with a beacon?

    I would think this is indeed the only way to monitor the URL.
    Perhaps you could try a solution in creating your own plug-in.

  • Performance issues and options to reduce load with Oracle text implementation

    Hi Experts,
    My database on Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Linux. We have Oracle Text implemented for fuzzy search. Our oracle text indexes are defined as sync on commit as we can not afford to have stale data.  Now our application does literally thousands of inserts/updates/deletes to those columns where we have these Oracle text indexes defined. As a result, we are seeing a lot of performance impact due to the oracle text sync routines being called on each commit. We are doing the index optimization every night (full optimization every night at 3 am).  The oracle text index related internal operations are showing up as top sql in our AWR report and there are concerns that it is causing lot of load on the DB.  Since we do the full index optimization only once at night, I am thinking should I change that , and if I do so, will it help us?
    For example here are some data from my one day's AWR report:
    Elapsed Time (s)
    Executions
    Elapsed Time per Exec (s)
    %Total
    %CPU
    %IO
    SQL Id
    SQL Module
    SQL Text

    305,441
    0.09
    16.50
    15.82
    9.98
    ddr8uck5s5kp3
    begin ctxsys.drvdml.com_sync_i...
    14,618.81
    213,980
    0.07
    8.81
    8.39
    27.79
    02yb6k216ntqf
    begin ctxsys.syncrn(:idxownid,...
    Full Text of above top sql:
    ddr8uck5s5kp3
    begin ctxsys.drvdml.com_sync_index(:idxname, :idxmem, :partname);
    end
    02yb6k216ntqf
    begin ctxsys.syncrn(:idxownid, :idxoname, :idxid, :ixpid, :rtabnm, :flg); end;
    Now if I do the full index optimization more often and not just once at night 3 PM, will that mean, the load on DB due to sync on commit will decrease? If yes how often should I optimized and doesn't the optimization itself lead to some load? Can someone suggest?
    Thanks,
    OrauserN

  • Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC with Oracle XE

    Dear Colleague,
    Is it possible to use the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC in conjunction with the Oracle Express Edition (or does one have to use the Standard or Enterprise Editions)? If yes, are there any restrictions when using the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC in the context of Oracle XE?
    Best regards,
    Randy

    Hi,
    As it says, as long as you have an RDBMS license then you do not need a separate license for DG4ODBC. If the confusion is where it says "Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC can be installed and used on a machine different" then that is just to clarify that you can run the gateway on a completely separate machine from where the licensed RDBMS is running, but you can also run DG4ODBC on the same machine where the RDBMS is installed.
    If you install 11g DG4ODBC on the same machine where you have a 10g RDBMS then it must be installed into a separate ORACLE_HOME.
    If this is still not clear then please get back and let us know exactly what you need clarifying.
    Regards,
    Mike

  • Installing Oracle 9iDS on Solaris 8 with Oracle 9i DB already running

Now we would like to install Oracle 9iDS (Developer Suite) and configure its Separate ORACLE_HOME directory, as 9iDS won't letus have it configured in the exisiting HOME. It is known that I have to stop all Oracle services and process, should I also stop listner that is running.
    Please help me in detail steps involved and also if some OS files needs to be updated
    Thanks in anticipation for help

    Hello Chessplayer!
    Before you attempt the Oracle install, make sure you have done the following as the Oracle CD does nothing but put down the Oracle binaries:
    1. Create /opt/app/oracle
    2. Put a .profile in /opt/app/oracle sourcing your Oracle_Home and Oracle_Sid.
    3. Create file systems (volumes) where database datafiles will go. If you are working
    with a single disk, /vol01 is sufficient. However, you may want to create others to simulate
    multiple disks and the concept of "spreading" your load ie. data from index.
    4. You may also want to create a /dumps file system for oracle dump files.
    Have fun.

  • Configuring Oracle Access Manager to work with Oracle Web Tier (11.1.1.3)

    I am trying to follow http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/core.1111/e12035/oam_11g.htm to setup a load balanced OAM configuration. Following the documentation from the article (section 11.5) I'm not able to quite get this working. I believe there is a typo in 11.5.1 step 4 as admin.mycompany.com should be pointing to the IDMHOST1 and IDMHOST2, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
    My question more comes in with 11.5.2. When you declare that the OAM Server Host is sso.mycompany.com and port to be 443 you are expecting that OAM makes a call back up to the webcache but I don't believe this is happening. When I define OAM Server Host as a single machine name with OAM installed it works but when I use the load balanced URL that points to the web tier it is unable to find the server. If the call was making it up to the webcache then it would have the definition of sso.mycompany.com but if it never makes it there then it will never have that definition and the 'no server' error makes sense. Can anyone please clarify this for me?
