Oracle product not supported on Vmware virtual environment

Members,
Oracle certification says Oracle products running on Vmware virtual environment are not supported.
One of my development Identity manager setup is running on Vmware virtual environment.
As of now application is running fine and I am getting support from Oracle on product issues.
Can anyone suggest what could be the impact of this in future and what types of issues I can expect in future.
Thanks,
S M

Could you verify this behaviour outside a VMware virtual machine?
If yes, then please open an SR on Metalink to let support diagnose.
Provide an RDA, AWR snapshot if you have licensed the Diagnistic Pack - if not than provide STATSPACK snapshots.
Sorry - but this is a database upgrade forum :-)
Regards
Mike

Why Oracle 11gR2 not supported on Virtual machine

Dear All,
I have googled this topic and have found various view from different people.
I just need to know solid reason for why Oracle do not support VMWARE. I am not talking about Oracles VM Virtual Box but the others.
Will highly appreciate your suggestions.
Regards,
Imran

Hi Imran,
The Oracle support policy states that “Oracle will only provide support for issues that either are known to occur on the native OS, or can be demonstrated not to be as a result of running on VMware.” This statement may
create a perception that customers are somehow at risk, but the growing number of customers virtualizing Oracle on VMware have chosen to do so after carefully weighing the benefits against this implied risk.
VMWare believe that three considerations are especially relevant to this assessment:
• You can evaluate the risk by considering the following facts:
––VMware does not modify the native OS, so the solution Oracle provides for the native OS is fully expected to work for that same OS running on VMware.
––VMware has received no reports of incidents in which vSphere was determined to have caused a technical issue in the Oracle application or database.
––At worst, Oracle might ask a customer to reproduce the issue on a physical server, particularly if Oracle’s solution does not work. This request is seldom made, and even in the physical world Oracle reserves the
right to request reproduction on different physical hardware in this situation.
• You can negotiate the terms in your support agreement with Oracle and insist that Oracle provide you with the support commitment that meets your needs, including support for Oracle products running on vSphere.
Some industry analysts have stated that it is commercially unacceptable to have policies that are difficult for Oracle customers to locate on Oracle’s Web site and that are changeable without notice.
• VMware has its own policy to support customers running Oracle applications on VMware, available at https://www.vmware.com/support/policies/oracle-support.html. If required, VMware will take ownership of
the support request and pursue rapid resolution, in collaboration with the Oracle support organization through TSANet as needed. Because VMware customers virtualize all types of Tier 1 applications, we have
significant expertise in making this a seamless support experience.
We are running many mission critical systems in VMware products.
Provide your email id, I can send you the good white paper on Understanding Oracle Certification, Support and Licensing for VMware Environments

Oracle can not support upto 32 characters table name and field name ?

hi
oracle up limitation ?
create table aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa(a char);
Error
ORA-00972:identifier too long
or
create table a (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa char);
Error
ORA-00972:identifier too long
Oracle can not support upto 32 characters table name and field name ?
It is true?

Hello All
It's been a year after those posts about the limit of identifiers in Oracle Database. Does anybody know what can be done to get rid of that primitive limit? We are developing using Application Servers, Java, generated Code and a very nice object model, in which we can't just use abreviations because of early database age memory shortcomings.
We are currently using 8i in a very large organization. Is there any chance this version can be configured to allow larger identifiers? Is upgrading to 9i going to solve this problem? Is Oracle Databases really doomed forever because of a 20-year-ago limitation?
Please, I do like Oracle Databases. I don't want to be flooded with quick answers like "just use 32 character identifiers". I would like to hear a serious solution. Is anybody there still locked in the 8.3 filename paradigm of MS/PC-DOS? Does anybody has to fit an entire Enterprise System in segmented 640Kb of memory? Does anybody has to use monochrome character mode interfaces? Of course not those in the mainstream.
I also know that other hadrware and software products have lots os limitations. Take Windows 2000. Its command line has a limit of 255 characters! You can't have more than 4GB of memory in a PC! However, one can't expect one mistake to justify others.
I wish I were very wrong in this respect, and all it should be necessary is to turn on some kind of configuration parameter in 8i to allow us to develop high quality code.
Thanks for your attention.
Please, feel free to contact me if you have a solution.

Oracle 10g IO perfomance on vmware virtual machine

Hi Friends,
I am facing perfomance issue on oracle10g 64bit, installed on rhel5.3 64bit on a vmware virtual machine because of disk IO.
While taking DB backup using netbackup I can see the datatransfer speed comes up to 100 Mbps.
But when oracle IO requests comes it is not going more than 30 Mbps.
And the CPU IO wait remains same as on both of the time. (20% to 40%)
Please help.

Nayagan

Oracle version not supported

Hi All,
i am having one issue while conntecting oracle version 8.1.7.0.0 from version 11.1.0.7.0 it is showing version not supported.
ORA-03134: Connections to this server version are no longer supported.
can we downgrade oracle version 11.1.0.7.0 client to 10g client on HP -Unix 64 bit operating system, if yes what is the detailed procedure.
thanks in advance
Regards
Mirza

In case of client software simply install the older version in a new ORACLE_HOME, there are no downgrade actions like for a database server. But I think even 10g won't work for 8.1.7.0.0, you need at least 8.1.7.4 .

Oracle reports not supporting WCHAR and WVARCHAR

I have been using Oracle Reports Builder 10g (Report Builder 9.0.4.0.33) to test against an ODBC backend database via the provided jdbc-odbc bridge, this has been working well but recently the server backend changed to be UTF-8 compatible and as a result now returns the WCHAR and WVARCHAR types (ODBC types -8 and -9). These cause an error in the Report Designer
REP-0069 Internal Error
JDBCPDS-62013: The column type WCHAR used in the query/procedure is not supported by Reports JDBC Query.
I have my NLS_LANG and DEVELOPER_NLS_LANG set to ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.UTF8.
Is there any way to enable the support for WCHAR/WVARCHAR in the Reports Builder?
Regards,
Adam.

Is this a problem with one type of report? Does a simple test report created in the builder work ok?
How are you running the report? From a URL or from Forms?
Is there any error showing in the ?/reports/logs or in the ?/opmn/logs (either in the report server log or in the OC4J)?
Can you run the report using rwrun?

Is the Oracle 9i Client (Win2003 32bit) supported in a virtual environment?

We have the Oracle 9i client installed on our VM (Win2003 32bit). Our databases are on Oracle 8i (hence why we are using the 9i Client).
SQLDeveloper on this VM communicates fine with the databases
We have SQLServer2005 also on this VM which runs ETL packages, extracting from Oracle and loading onto SQLserver.
The ETLs run fine when run as standalone jobs in VisualStudio. But when run in SQLServer2005 as a job, they don't appear to run to completion - we are concerned that this may be a memory issue relating to running the Oracle Client on a VM.

Windows 2003 is supported by VM (VMware if you mean); hence anything that works on Windows 2003 should work even if Windows 2003 is running as a VM.
But when run in SQLServer2005 as a job, they don't appear to run to completion I am not able to relate this to Oracle. Could you elaborate a bit more? If it is an Oracle job which fails, what is the error?

Oracle JDBC not supported by Adobe

Our Coldfusion application periodically goes down, usually we’ll get an assortment of warnings from server.log like the ones below:
"Warning","jrpp-15828","03/05/12","04:38:17",,"Thread: jrpp-15828, processing template: /usr1/ webroot/line.cfm, completed in 866 seconds, exceeding the 45 second warning limit"
Several of these messages will appear and sometimes CF will remain stable and sometimes it won’t.
I have opened a ticket with Adobe and sent them all of my logs, thread dumps and system configuration. At this point they have indicated that the Oracle JDBC driver that I’m using isn’t supported by Adobe and I should switch back to the Oracle/Coldfusion driver that is supported. It so happens that we had issues using that driver as well. I wanted to know if Adobe would support a native Oracle 11g client for this application. It’s quite to receive answers from Adobe support for Coldfusion.
Have you ever encountered this situation before? Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

A non-SQL error occurred while requesting a connection from JDBC_DSN.
Timed out trying to establish connection
Error [jrpp-nnnn] - Error Executing Database Query.Timed out trying to establish connection The specific sequence of files included or processed is: \filepath\index.cfm, line: nn
I have seen errors as above when using JDBC Microsoft SQL database connections (I do not use Oracle). It turned out the CF Java was having heap size or garbage collection problems. Once the CF Java problems were resolved via some JVM tuning the JDBC errors did not re-occur.
HTH, Carl.

Oracle has not certified Hyperion products on virtualized servers

Hyperion's official stance:
Oracle has not certified Hyperion products on virtualized environments;
I'm surprised that there are users in this forum who are using VMware instead of physical servers. If you run into a bug, Oracle tech support require you to replicate that bug in physical servers before they will help you.
Also, consultants tell us that data has been known to be lost by virtual servers.
Has anyone good results from running Planning and Essbase on VMware?

Thats right I dont personally have access to Metalink2.
I found a statement on Metalink3:
Click the knowledge tab, go to Advanced Search, tick all sources and in the Doc ID field enter 588303.1. Hit Search!
You get the following statement:
Hyperion Essbase
Goal
Describe support for Oracle's Hyperion Products in virtualized environments.
Solution
Oracle has not certified Hyperion products on third-party virtualized environments; however, Oracle Support will assist customers running Oracle’s Hyperion products on third-party virtualized environments as follows:
When a customer logs a previously unreported issue, Oracle Support may require the issue to be diagnosed in a non-virtualized environment when there is reason to believe that the virtual environment is a contributing factor. Oracle Support may refer customers to the third-part virtualization vendor for issues that can not be duplicated in non-virtualized environments.
When a problem has been previously reported and a resolution is available, Oracle support will recommend the appropriate solution on the non-virtualized OS. If that solution does not work in the virtual environment, the customer will be referred to their virtualization software vendor for support. If the customer demonstrates that the Oracle solution does not work when running on a non-virtualized OS, Oracle will resume support, including logging a bug with Oracle Development for investigation if required.
While Oracle’s Hyperion products are expected to function properly in virtual environments, there may be performance implications, which can invalidate Oracle’s typical sizing recommendations. An analysis should be performed within the context of the specific application to be hosted in the virtual environment to mitigate potential resource contention, as this can result in degradation of performance and scalability, particularly under peak load.
For further information on support for Hyperion products running on Oracle VM, please see Note 466538.1 and Note 464754.1 in MetaLink2 (a href="https://metalink.oracle.com)
Hope this helps.

Is LiveCycle supported on Vmware in production?

I am getting conflicting information concerning LiveCycle and whether it is supported in a virtual environment. I have a client that wants to install and run Process management, in production, on a virtual machine. This is due to limited resources. Please let me know if this set up is a supported environment.

For Development and Testing you can go with the Virtual machine setup (may be a turn-key installation), but for Production it is not advisible.
However if your execution payload is not much, you can try on the virtual machine.
I have experience in devloping adobe applciations in VMWare and we faced the connection failure issues occasionally.
After restart of JBoss service, it will back to operational.
Better consult with your System admin.

EJB support in Oracle products

I'm curious. Since current Oracle products only support session
beans and not entity beans, what can be done with just the
session beans? I would love to be able to get the full
utilization of EJB, but would have to acquire "a whole nother"
server (like WebLogic) for that. I understand that the next
releases of Oracle products (such as JDeveloper 3) will have
full support for entity beans, but what am I to do until then?
Would it be wise to develop session beans that directly access
databases instead of the entity beans? It doesn't make much
sense to me.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi
JDeveloper 2.0 (which is in Producition) allows you to create
either session or entity beans (EJB) from the EJB Wizard. But
there is no deployment support yet. The next release of Oracle8i
will have support for Entity beans.
regards
raghu

Is BOXI XI R2 supported on VMWARE ?

Is Business Objects XI R2 supported in a virtual environment? I pulled the platforms document for BOXI R2 and there is no mention of this in the document. Appreciate any help.
Thanks
Jagannathan Santhanam

I had logged the very same question with support and they recommended that you do not try this with a production deployment but for a Test/Dev environment its fine.
You will want your production system to be running with as many resources as possible especially if you are looking at using QaaWs with Xcelsius.
For example, I have found this combination could be lethal if I were running in a VMWare environment because it has a tendency to eat up the WIReportServer processes. Having a physical cluster I can be assured I can run 2 services with for each processor in the system, with VMWare running its only a guess if this is still true.
Hope this helps....
