Oracle Public YUM errata for a particular release version

Hello,
The "el5_latest" repository seems to contain several updated packages for various Oracle Linux releases, but it is apparently not possible to use Oracle Public Yum to restrict updates to a specific release version. Is this correct? Is this available with a ULN subscription, or if there is another way how to apply errata for a specific Oracle Linux release version?
For instance:
# yum install rpm*.el5_7.2
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is not registered with ULN.
ULN support will be disabled.

If you have a ULN subscription, you can limit your channels to the specific update release base and patch channels. The public-yum.oracle.com site now just contains the base channels, i.e. the same package set as each ISO, along with the latest channel, which will update an OL5 machine to the latest packages.

Setup for Oracle Public YUM server

Dear all,
What should I put in the yum.conf if I want to user Oracle Public YUM server?
I have add below, is it ok?
[Oracle_public]
name=Oracle Linux Public

I simply followed the "Getting Started" instructions at: http://public-yum.oracle.com/ and it seems to work for me (Oracle Linux 5.6).

The Oracle Public Yum seems slow today. Does anyone notice the same? Does anyone know of a mirror?
I keep retrying the yum operation and occasionally I can download a package. But most of the time, it looks like:

Oracle public yum down?

Hi, I'm trying to install a new oracle database server and am doing the prereqs. I'm following this guide http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/oracle-db-11gr2-installation-on-oracle-linux-5.php and when I go to http://public-yum.oracle.com/ I get Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE) in my browser. Is it working for anyone else?

Noise can severely limit an Intrusion detection system's effectiveness. Bad packets generated from software bugs, corrupt DNS data, and local packets that escaped can create a significantly high false-alarm rate.
I think that's what happened to you.

Oracle Public Yum problems today (23/01/13)

Is anyone else having issue with the Oracle Linux public yum (http://public-yum.oracle.com/) today?
Seems to be extremely flakey over here in the UK.. have tried from various places / connections, getting timeouts & errors such as:
[Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 56 - "Failure when receiving data from the peer"
Just thought I would post this up if anyone else was experiencing issues today...

I re-ran yum last night and everything updated OK.
I had just deployed a new cluster, and this was the first VM in it which was for testing - hence I spent a while worrying about what perhaps was wrong with the cluster / VM config rather than thinking it was an Oracle yum issue.
I totally understand that public yum is free, and is not supported. People running production systems, who want reliable updates, they should subscribe to Oracle Linux Network - at least for updates, it's not going to break the bank....
However - sometimes we are deploying VMs to test things, so it's not always going to feasible to subscribe for Oracle Linux Network every time you create a VM for a test project - like me with my new cluster build yesterday.
So there really should be a 'status page' where people can do and see what's what with the public yum.
One thing that I did find worrying - was the apparent lack of geographically dispersed mirrors for the public yum. It doesn't appear there were any!
When a download failed, it would say 'trying other mirror' which also failed, and then the entire download failed.
Other distros that have issues with yum, I've often see it try 4 or 5 different mirrors....
What's the situation with Oracle Linux public yum and mirrors? How many are there? Why did they all fail? Are they all in the same datacenter?

Oracle 11g ASM - looking for some answers

Hello,
I reviewed a bunch of stuff about Oracle 11g ASM from various sources, but still haven't figured out some answers. Perhaps someone could help me to find the missing links please.
Q1) ASMLib seems to require partitions. ASM recognizes partitions as well as disk devices. So why not using partitions in general? At least I could use ASMLib later without having to reconfigure the drives and loosing all data. Correct?
Q2) The ASMLib driver is not installed by default, and unlike other ASM components is not available from the public yum repository for OEL 5.5. After some searching I found it available for download, but why is it not more obvious. Should it not be used anymore? http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/downloads/rhel5-084877.html
Q3) ASM will not see drives or partitions unless the device ownership is set to Oracle. When Enterprise Linux starts, it resets all block devices to the owner of root. The solution is to create a udev rules file: e.g.:
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle.rules:
KERNEL=="sda", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="dba", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="sdb", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="dba", MODE="0660"
Before using ASMLlib, I need to configure the driver, which will ask me for the default user and group who owns the partitions (/etc/init.d/oracleasm configure)
I conclude that using ASMLib will therefore not require a udev rules file, correct?
Q4) The Oracle documentation outlines that ASMLIB is an application programming interface (API) developed by Oracle to simplify the operating system–to-database interface and to exploit the capabilities of vendors' storage arrays on Linux-based systems. What does this mean, examples? Isn't this what ASM does in general, why ASMLIB?
Q5) I installed ASM and would like to re-configure it. Apparently ASM alone does not provide an interface other than sqlplus. In order use ASM with Enterprise Manager, I need to install a database or EM 11g (?) Grid control. Correct?
Thanks,
Markus

Hi,
So you got answers for 3 4 and 5
Q1) ASMLib seems to require partitions. ASM recognizes partitions as well as disk devices. So why not using partitions in general? At least I could use ASMLib later >without having to reconfigure the drives and loosing all data. Correct?Using ASMLib, you can use your understandable disk partitions names rather than creating raw devices and adding entry in /etc/raw file and changing rights on every startup, so it makes life easier. Read post of "wcoekaer" from following thread
ASMLib and Linux block devices
Q2) The ASMLib driver is not installed by default, and unlike other ASM components is not available from the public yum repository for OEL 5.5. After some >searching I found it available for download, but why is it not more obvious. Should it not be used anymore? http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/downloads/rhel5-084877.html
I am not sure about OEL 5, but i have seen it in OEL 4 and i can install this package during OEL 4 installation. But i believe you should be able to find this package in one of the Disks of OEL 5

Public yum - wrong links - file not found

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with Oracle Linux 6.5 and the UEK3 kernel in VirtualBox, which might be due to hibernation, and wanted to try some older kernel, like UEK1 or UEK2, to see if I can reproduce the issue. More on the problem later. However, I can't even list or install any of the previous kernels.
The first thing I was wondering about is that /etc/repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo had some strange entries for the uek channels, which I have not seen before:
enabled=$uek
enabled=$uek3
What is this?
Anway, I connected to Oracle Public Yum Server to browse an download the latest repository, which no longer has these entries. It would still not list any kernels other than the 2.6.32 and 3.18.13. So I thought I check what's inside the repositories in a browser.
I copy and paste the URL's shown in the repository configuration file into my web browser, such as:
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/UEK/latest
and click on "x86_64", I receive:
File not found."
From what I can tell, the problem is, that link locations are incorrect,
such as "x86_64" pointing to http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/UEK/x86_64/,
which is missing "latest" in the path.
But the strange thing is, if I click on "Parent Directory" and open "latest" and then "x86_64", it works.
I think I have seen that issue before, several month ago, and the probelm, if I remember correctly, was with public yum.
Thanks.

Given the command you're running, yes it's normal. Yum is very weird with versioning of the same package name. If you want to see all the 2.6 kernels that are available:
# yum list --showduplicates "kernel-uek-2.6*"

Oracle Linux support subscription. for Oracle employees

I am using RHEL 5 but could not find wireshark trace and I beleive that you need to have Oracle Linux support subscription to access yum repositories. How an Oracle employee can update the software?

Here is a previous link that could be interesting to you:

You can also install wireshark and dependend packages using oracle public yum by following the instructions on

Unable to use public-yum for R installation

Dear experts,
I am trying to install R-core for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 update 6 in order to deploy a R server on it. According to the installation manual I should be using Oracle's public yum server to download and install R (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27988_01/doc/doc.112/e26499/install.htm#BABDFEDA).
However following the guide, setting up yum repository and everything is working fine, when I key in "yum install R.x86_64" it returns there is no such package. I scanned the public yum folders and found no R rpms. May I know where should I get the rpms or where should I point the yum to look for the R packages?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Philip

Hi,
It still shows the No package found error.
I ran yum list and there isn't any R/R-core packages available.

[Oracle 9i Lite] Request for Windows CE 3.0 PowerPC 821 release

After 10 days, we have unfortunately received no answer to our request mails.
We try an ultimate post in this forum, hoping that Oracle representatives are watching AND answering.
Laurent PICARD
<[email protected]>
Dear Oracle Development Team,
Hitachi & Cytale are launching a project with the INSEE (National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies), to equip their enquirers with a mobile platform (the Cybook Pro), to update national databases on a daily basis (e.g. the French Consumer Price Index).
The INSEE considers integrating Oracle 9i Lite solution into their software architecture.
Before moving developments any further, we need to know:
- whether you are willing to compile Oracle 9i Lite for our platform;
- if so, when the release can be expected for tests and development.
Notes:
- The Cybook Pro runs Windows 3.0 on a PowerPC 821 (PPC821).
- The ODBC module of Oracle 9i Lite will be used.
- If needed, we can provide you with a PPC821 SDK.
- We (Cytale & INSEE) are willing to help if tests need be done.
- The INSEE will have their choices finalized by the end of May, feasibility and development tests must be fully completed before that date.
Companies working on the project are:
- Hitachi <http://www.hitachi.fr>
- INSEE <http://www.insee.fr>
- Cytale <http://www.cytale.com>
We are looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Best regards,

This is caused by a bug in Oracle's ODBC API for Windows CE in
the dbaccess.cpp header file. It can be fixed by doing the
following;
at (or about) line 155;
Inside For Loop, before
'if(::SQLGetData' statement.
memset(&g_szBuff, 0, sizeof(g_szBuff));
This will reset the memory for the data column after it has been
read.
Oracle would have to implement this fix and then recompile mSQL
in order for mSQL to display NULL values correctly.
Cheers,
Allen.

Actually the problem is not (only) in mSQL as we are using the
API to view the data and are seeing the same result. We suspect
the problem is in the API which mSQL is probably also using to
access the data.
