Oracle RDB Install on Itanium

Pulled the RDB 7.2.1.2 for OpenVMS savesets down from the Oracle website to install on a HP Integrity rx6600 server running OpenVMS 8.3. Unzipped and copied (FTPed) savesets over to server. When I do the 4@sys$update:vmsinstal, I get following error message:
" excessive error rate reading rdbv72120..."
I KNOW this error has to do with me having NOT set the file attributes of the savesets.( ie, $ set file/att=(rfm=fix,lrl=???,rat=none) or something like that. I just need to know the exact file atributes to set these savesets to as I have not been able to find them documented anywhere. Once I get this info, I'll be good...
Thanks in advance.

No I do not think so. The only product certified is RAC at this point.

    I'm getting an error message when trying to install the Oracle Rdb Extension (7.3).
    I'm not sure if that extension has been upgraded for sql developer 4. Extensions written for previous versions won't work in sql developer 4 - they need to be modified to support the OSGI framework.
    Leave the thread open until one of the sql developer team members can answer this.
    Here is the note from the sql developer exchange home page
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/extensions-083825.html
    Special Note Regarding Extensions Developed Prior to SQL Developer
    v4.0:
    With the new release of SQL
    Developer 4.0, an extension that was written for a previous version of SQL
    Developer will no longer work. SQL Developer is built on the JDeveloper
    Framework. We have updated the framework to be current with the JDeveloper 12c
    release. With JDeveloper 11gR2, they switched to an OSGI framework. The JDeveloper team has published instructions for updating your extensions to be compatible with
    the new framework and SQL Developer v4.0.
    The Check for Updates interface
    has been updated to hide any 3rd party extensions to avoid confusion with
    extensions not loading. Once you have updated your extension for version 4 and
    beyond, let us know, and we'll update the system to make it available again. For
    questions regarding the process of going from the old to new framework, we have
    started a dedicated
    thread on the Forums. You can also email the Product Manager, Jeff Smith, to
    setup a call with one of our developers for additional assistance.
    As that note says if that extension is NOT for version 4 it shouldn't show up on the list of updates.

  • Oracle RDB driver for java

    hello.
    i connect to my oracle driver using this
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    but now i have to use oracle RDB and i want to ask how that is done?
    do i have to download another jar for that?
    and how is the connection string done?
    thanks

    nope.
    you're getting me all wrong
    i already have ojdbc14.jar and i already connected to oracle 9iHow did you do that without knowing the connection string?
    the problem is with oracle RDB jdbc
    that's another different matter.What? I don't understand.
    oracle rdb runs under open vms and you have to
    install some other things before the rdb jar itself.I don't know about running Oracle on OpenVMS. Sorry.
    and i also need the connections tring for the class.How did you "connect" without it?
    I gave you a link to the docs, which should tell you what the connection string syntax is. It'll look something like this:
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:1521:database%

    the documentation seems not to be full. There are documents on different specific themes, and no document that describes the RDBMS in general (for instance like "Database Concepts" for Oracle Database). May be it doesn't exist at all?

  • Oracle Rdb Driver 3.1.0.0 problem with blobs

    I am trying to convert an MsAccess application to use an MsAccess front end and an Oracle Rdb back end.
    I've created the test database under VMS and can successfully link to the Oracle Rdb tables from MSAccess 2000. One of the main reasons for converting to Oracle Rdb is to be able to store large word documents in the database. I was able to do that using Oracle rdb Driver v 3.00.02.06. I recently converted to Oracle Rdb Driver version 3.1.0.0 and can no longer access the Blob field containing the Word document. MsAccess now sees this field as type ‘Binary’ and I keep getting an ‘invalid field type’ error. (with 3.00.02.06 this field was seen by MsAccess as an ‘Ole Object’ and the getchunk and appendchunk functions for getting and saving a blob worked reasonably well).
    Is this a bug in 3.1.0.0 or is there some way to get MsAccess to recognize this Binary field type?

    I suspect you'll need to contact Oracle support on this. There aren't, to my knowledge, any RDB folks around here.

  • How to find out if Oracle is Installed in server

    I apologize for the simple question but no one in here seems to know if our server has Oracle installed or not. I have no experience in Oracle and have root access to the server but dont know the command to check wether Oracle is installed or not! anyone?
    I thank you in advance for any help
    Eduardo

    This is one of those questions that can be a bit difficult to answer, given all the possibilities in the world. Since you said the magic word "root" I will assume you are on unix or at least a posix system.
    http://tahiti.oracle.com has installation guides, find the one for your platform and check that. It should give a good foundation of what you want to look for. But some people get creative and some things are decisions by the DBA.
    Since oracle may be installed and not running, looking for oracle processes may not tell you if oracle is installed. But a ps|grep ora can often give clues. It is even possible to delete files while oracle is running... (I've seen oracle uninstalled - it keeps running but new users can't log in. This is because rm a file doesn't actually remove a file until everyone is done with it.) Also, check ipcs - shared memory being used by oracle is a clue oracle is installed and/or running, but even that can be misleading with some configurations - sometimes a bungled startup will leave a mess.
    Many unix systems have clues in /etc or /var/opt. Look for files with names like oratab and oraenv. Look at your passwd and group files, see if there are users with names like 'oracle' and groups like 'dba'. Look at user .profile, .cshrc, .bashrc, .kshrc files and see if there are references to oracle environment setting. $ORACLE_BASE, $ORACLE_HOME, $ORACLE_SID are often good clues, as well as references to oraenv or similar names. Look at the system startup files and see if there are references to oracle: there could be things like /sbin/rc*/*ora*, /etc/rc.d/*/*ora*, and so forth. Often the rc directories have a link to an init directory, such as a file like /sbin/init.d/oracle. There may be an inventory around somewhere called oraInventory, perhaps under $ORACLE_BASE, and installation log files, check your install guide for names. Also, if you have found $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID in an oratab, you might check $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/bdump/alert*log. Be aware that $ORACLE_HOME and the "oracle home directory" probably are not the same.
    Older systems that have been clumsily dealt with may have all these things, and yet still not have "oracle installed." Good luck.
    For these reasons and more, usually you would want to specify exact platform and oracle versions.
    Edit: fixed alert log location

  • Oracle RDB driver – Version 3.01.00.01 Connectivity Issue

    I have a SQL Server 2000 extended stored procedure connecting to an Oracle RDB data server via an ODBC connection (using Oracle RDB driver – Version 3.01.00.01). The SQL Server 2000 runs on a Windows 2000 Server.
    This extended stored procedure opens up multiple database connections and maintains them for processing. Usually, everything runs fine.
    However, every so often, we have connectivity issues. What happens is as follows:
    When we bring a station down and then try to reconnnect, our connection is denied, and we get the error: "recv() unexpected close Ret 0 Err#0 UNKNOWN Unknown WINSOCK Error 0". (This error is logged by the .dll running in the SQL Server processing space.) From the first time we receive a connectivity error like this until the Oracle RDB box is rebooted, we cannot establish another new ODBC connection to that Oracle RDB box --- whether we are trying to establish it programmatically or just via a "test connection" in the ODBC dialogue on the SQL Server box.
    We can, however, establish an ODBC connection to another, identically configured, Oracle RDB box from the SQL Server box (without restarting the SQL Server box).
    Has anyone had experience with instable connections from Windows system using the Oracle RDB driver to connect to the Oracle RDB? If not, can anyone point me in a direction that would help me research this? I am more familiar with SQL Server than Oracle, and the Oracle DBA on the other end isn't very accessible.
    I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks!

    I got same error.. Are you already solve that problem? how? please help me. Thanks

  • Oracle RDB Driver fails with JDBC/ODBC Bridge

    Has anyone experienced problems using the latest Oracle RDB
    Driver (3.0.2.0) with the JDBC/ODBC Bridge.
    We have been using the Oracle ODBC Driver for RDB (2.10.17)
    successfully on NT, but it is not supported on W2K. The new
    drivers work fine for Access etc., but fail with the bridge.
    Specifically, you can step thru a result set, but getObject()

  • Backup fails for a Hyper-V guest with VSS Writer failures using DPM 2012 R2 - Hyper-V guest has Oracle application installed,

    I am trying to backup a VM which before it had Oracle installed backed up with no problems.  It is a Windows 2008 R2 server which sites on an 8 node Hyper-V 2012 R2 cluster (with CSVs).  I am using DPM 2012 R2 to run the backups which have been
    successful for the last few weeks but then Oracle was installed and the backups have failed since then.
    The job fails and a large number of VSS writers go into a 'Failed' state with the 'Last Error' showing as 'Timed out'.  I then get 4 popups appear each referring to a 'temporary' drive which appears briefly in Disk Management with a RAW file system. 
    These pops say "You need to format the disk in drive X: before you can use it.  Do you want to format it?" (where
    X: is replaced by the drive letter assigned to each 'temporary' drive).
    The System event log is populated with a large number of warnings with Event 51, Disk, stating "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk<number>\DR<number> during a paging operation".  There are also a
    few warnings for Ntfs (eventid 57) stating that "The system failed to flush data to the transaction log.  Corruption may occur."
    Prior to these warnings there are 5 other warnings for partmgr (eventid 58) stating "The disk signature of disk
    <number x> is equal to the disk signatuire of disk <number y>" and 4 errors (eventid 1, VDS Basic Provider), "Unexpected failure.  Error code: 490@01010004".
    There is a script which is run to stop the Oracle application on the server and if this is run then the backups will complete successfully.  We have been troubleshooting this by running a certain amount of the script and seeing which part affects the
    backup and it seems that if the Weblogic (wls_reports) service is stopped then the backup will succeed but if it is running then the backup will fail and the above symptoms occur.
    Another point which may help is that there is a pre-production server which resides on a Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V standalone server, has the same scripts and installation of Oracle but backs up without any issues.
    I have experienced VSS writer failures before with VM backups but I have not seen this before.  It is not intermittent and I can find no work around to alleviate the problem of having no backup (except stopping this service or shutting the server down,
    but as it is a production server this is not practical).
    If anyone has experienced this before or have any suggestions / advice it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi Chris
    I have exactly the same issue.
    2008 R2 Server running Oracle
    6 node 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster with CSV
    Exact same errors and popup "format disk" message.
    DPM2012 R2
    I also have some other VM's on the same cluster which do back up through DPM
    The only difference I can see is the server which has the issue has a legacy network adapter.
    Production server so cannot make any changes until later but will add new adapter and report back.
    Interesting about the Weblogic service, may test this also.
    Cheers
    Kev.

  • Running Oracle 9i client code against an Oracle 10g install on PC

    On Unix I am able to run Oracle 9i client code against an Oracle 10g install by setting ORACLE_HOME to the Oracle 10g install location and then creating a symbolic link (example: ln -fs libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so.9.0).
    On PC (in particular XP SP2) I want to do something similar without using "junctions" or "junction points". Is there a way to set an environment variable or ini file to have my 9i client code point to the right libraries? I keep getting an error saying that my client code will not run due to "orasql9.dll" not being found. The "orasql10.dll" is installed on my machine.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    You might want to check metalink doc,
    Client / Server / Interoperability Support Between Different Oracle Versions
    Doc ID: Note:207303.1
    Even your application built on 9i, doesn't mean it will not work with 10g database. From what I can see, running 9i executable under 10g installation to create mixed blood breed will do more harm than good. Not only it's not supported but also the outcome is unpredictable.

  • Differences between Oracle and Oracle Rdb.

    My background is mainly VMS, and so I have grown up (since 1984) with DEC Rdb (now Oracle Rdb). I am starting to get into Oracle, and therefore, starting to learn the subtle differences. With this in mind could someone educate me as to the default transaction type when using SQLPLUS (using interactive SQL it's READ WRITE). What is the initialization file called for SQLPLUS, and are there equivalents to the logical names SQLINI, SQL$DATABASE, SQL$EDIT, etc.
    If there is someone out there with experience of both, may be you could ease my pain by posting your pearls of wisdom, or tips, here to help me along the way.

    OK, I'll try a few, having moved from VAX/Rdb to Oracle 10 years ago.
    Oracle's default transaction state is read-write, isolation level READ COMITTED. This means you generally don't need to do a "SET TRANSACTION" at the start of a transaction, and certainly don't need to keep doing commit;set transaction to see the latest values.
    In read-write transactions Oracle does not lock rows on read to maintain consistency in the way Rdb used to. Usually people use SELECT ... FOR UPDATE, or update directly (without a separate select) rather than using isolation SERIALIZABLE, which is the equivalent of Rdb's default.
    A script login.sql is executed at the start of a SQLPLUS session. On Unix, it looks for this in the current directory, and the home directory.
    On UNIX, SQL$DATABASE becomes "export TWO_TASK=dbname"
    On Windows, SQL$DATABASE becomes "set LOCAL=dbname"
    I strongly recommend Tom Kyte's Expert one-on-one Oracle book to help your transition, and his web site asktom.oracle.com
    Good luck, and welcome.
