Oracle OS User on Unix

Hi all.
I am running Oracle 9i on Solaris 9. I can get the OS User by executing the following select:
select sys_context('userenv','os_user') from dual;
My question is, how does Oracle pick up this OS User? Is there a way to spoof the user?
Thanks in advance!
David

The effective user is extracted from the system by SQL*Net and reported to the database when a new connection is negotiated. I know of no way to fool the database on this.
Kind regards,
Russ Cannon

  • Oracle Equivalent user

    Hi,
    OS: IBM-AIX
    Oracle: Oracle10g 10.2.0.3.0
    I created Oracle user with relavent groups. With logging in as oracle user, I can perform DBA activities.
    My senario is that, I have to create oracle equivalent user say (neworacle). So I have created neworacle user in unix and assigned Oinstall and dba groups.
    I try to login as 'neworacle' user and try to take export of a schema.
    I get the following error
    Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
    With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
    ORA-31626: job does not exist
    ORA-31633: unable to create master table "USR.SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_05"

    ORA-01110: data file 5: '/oracle/oradata10g/unbdb/DXML01.dbf'
    ORA-27092: size of file exceeds file size limit of the process
    Additional information: 131071
    Additional information: 944529
    Are this errors cause due to exporting dump through a new user 'neworacle'?
    Is it possible to perform oralce activities using 'neworacle'?
    Thanks in advance

    Why did you need to give access to datafile 5 to the new user? In fact to change my question to a statement. You should not have had any need to give access to the datafiles to any users.The oracle account should own them and that manages all access to them.

    when i login to MES operator resp..i get a error saying...You must setup an HR employee for this Oracle Application user...how to resolve this?

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

    Bryan Hall, Spatial Architect, L-3 Communications

    Cost cutting requires reengineering spatial solutions to directly address business requirements. But enterprise computing for spatial data has, with even "Web 2.0", required the user to lose the responsiveness and feedback that traditional desktop thick client GIS software has provided. We took a different approach in the re-engineering effort and concentrated on making it work as much like a traditional desktop thick client - while simplifying use, making editing more reliable, and actually speeding up rendering. All this, while only supporting one versioned Oracle Spatial database, and application tier for all users.

  • Differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform

    Hello,
    J would like to know if there are some differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform.
    I know that there are some differences on Oracle 8i Parallel Server and i know that some products are not include like precompiler (Mod*Ada, Pro*FORTRAN) on a Linux Platform.
    Thank you.

    We have installed Oracle 8i on Solaris 8 and it had a great performance, of course that the hardware and licence invested here was costed my the office where i work. Personaly i'd installed linux reh hat 8 and oracle 8i, imagine that, it could be implemented by any individual that has the time to do so.
    By buyinng from a company that has a good background you could be sure that you will have support.
    Bottom line, if you have the $ to buy great hardware go for a unix platform. But if you don't a Red Hat Linux Server Licence with a 1 year sopport and Oracle data base is about 3500Dls.

  • Required Oracle FND tables for Discoverer Install (Oracle App user)

    Hi does anyone know of set documentation or, via SQL Trace, which existing tables Discoverer looks for when setting up an EUL? For instance, our install requires you select the Oracle Apps User Schema and put in the password for that schema where your FND tables reside.
    Assuming some are missing in our current setup, what would be required in order for Discoverer to work in conjunction with the Oracle applications roles and responsibilities, etc.
    I found this list in Discoverer documentation and confirmed I know have that setup correctly with proper grants, etc.. The EUL is created but does return an error of "Table or View does not Exist" which can be passed over and you can proceed into the EUL - but there is an error upon logging into EUL.
    grant select on FND_USER to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_APPLICATION to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_USER_RESPONSIBILITY to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_ORACLE_USERID to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_DATA_GROUP_UNITS to &EULOWNER
    This is Discoverer 10g and Oracle 10g database.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Rod,
    I have confirmed that the Discoverer Administrator Responsibility has Administration, Desktop & Plus privelages.
    Furthermore, the account I am trying to login as - DSCADMIN has those permissions and is assigned that responsibility as well.
    It should be noted that when logging into the EUL as the DSCADMIN account, it prompts me to create a new EUL as one does not exist....however under the EUL ADMIN account (where the EUL was created), it recognizes the EUL since it is the owner.
    Am I missing something further - I've been through the documentation several times and can't figure this out - I have continually made progress but then hit a speed bump each time.
    It should also be noted that DSCADMIN is a database user schema account and also an Apps user as well - but this is how it was setup in our old enviornment so I wouldn't think this would make a difference.

  • Driver for oracle enterpririse user

    does creating a connection pool in weblogic for oracle enterprise user needs any special driver? ,
    I can create connection pool for any normal user but if it is enterprise user connection to database is denied , what care should I take for an enterprise user ,
    as for my database knowlwdge I donot know the difference between normal user and enterprise user , why enterprise user connection id different ?

    That's an awfully old Oracle version - unless your company is paying out their rear-end, I doubt Oracle supports it at all. Even Oracle Technology Network only goes back as far as Oracle 8i (AKA 8.1).
    I doubt you'll be able to find such an old driver and if you do, I'd wonder about how well it might work with any recent (last several years) JVM.
    Why are you stuck with such an old version?

  • Identify user logged in discoverer as a oracle apps user

    Hi Guys,
    I am using web based to log in to discoverer as a oracle applications user. there is a report in one responsibility related to PO. My question is, can i catch the user who is logged in (his username or user ID) to be printed on the report.
    or
    I created a report which can see the details of the requisition (req ID, line number, Requestor, Approver, Requestor Dept, PO Number, etc). My report should display only the requisitions created by the user who is logged in who will be the requestor here in this case. I cant pass requestor as the parameter. It should automatically take the user logged in as requestor and display only his requisitions on to the output.
    Help Appreciated.
    Thanks

    use FND_GLOBAL.USER_NAME to get current user and pass it as parameter

  • Oracle Enterprise User, OVD and MS Active Directory (AD)

    Hi,
    I need to authenticate Oracle Users from MS Active Directory.
    If I create an Oracle Enterprise User, can I just use OVD or do I need also OID ?
    If the answer is YES, I just need OVD do I need just to install OVD or do I need any other installation from OIM in order for it to work?
    Thanks in advance for answering this post : )
    CMT

    Hi,
    I am not sure that you are correct.
    In the meantime, some one mentioned a white paper to read: "Directory Services Integration with Database Enterprise User Secuirty. In page 10 it mentions a scenario: EUS deployment using Active Directory and OVD
    (without OID).
    The cons mentioned are: Need to extend AD schema to include EUS meta-data (which I am not sure how its done).
