Oracle Software Quality - the Installer ...

Hello @all,
could anybody tell me - why Oracle did not test the 11GR2.XE Installer on Windows x64 ?
And please - don't tell me there will be a 64bit version - this is not helping ... there are still a lot
of 32 bit applications that run fine on Windows x64 but need a 32 bit database ....
If you fix the installation bugs - everything runs nicely on Windows x64.
Will the installer be fixed or do we have to live with this ? How many years has Oracle needed to
create a new XE Version ? This is really not funny - it's just very very sad.
Regards,
Nils

Operating system : Win 2003 R2, freshly installed
After installation APEX page does not start.
clsc.log says:

Hi Elmar,
I have checked the packages and the XFree86-libs-4.3.99 is not installed. I guess I will have to install it.
Now your question about oracle user. I am not sure if you have performed any SAP MDM installation with ORACLE RDBMS but the installation guide is totally different than the normal SAP inst guides. Indeed someone needs to install separately SAP MDM and ORACLE and in my installation I do not install NetWeaver since it is not mandatory for the testing phase of the project. You can have a look at the guide (it is very poor -no reference to ORACLE details):
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000271882007E
So the official ORACLE inst gudie says to install the ORACLE software with the oracle user.
Rgds,
Louka

How to completely uninstall oracle software?

Dear all,
I have followed the installation guide to delete the oracle software after i removing the CI and DB instance.
There was 2 parts where i unsure whether i did it correctly.
3. Edit the Oracle Registry entries as follows:
a. Choose Start → Run and enter REGEDIT
b. Delete the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SOFTWARE → ORACLE
c. Delete all Oracle references under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SYSTEM→CURRENTCONTROLSET → SERVICES
4. Delete all Oracle references from the Windows user and system environment:
a. Choose Start → Programs → System.
b. Choose the Advanced tab and then click Environment Variables.
c. For example, delete the variables:
TNS_ADMIN, NLS_LANG, ORACLE_HOME
d. Also delete Oracle from the PATH variable
I was unsure because there are so many Sap system installed in the same host. I deleted everything with the <sapid> in the above place.
After i done with the deletion, i start to reinstall a new oracle software, whenever i start the OUI, the old oracle software keep generate out(i deleted manually and trying to install a new oracle software with the same name).
In the end, i gave up and use another name. why is this happening? maybe i didn't delete it clearly enough?
hope some one can explain on this, thanks in advanced
regards,
Jerry

This is where my problem comes. I have multiple SAP instances that are installed in the same host.
I deleted ALL the registry enteries and environment variables that contain the <sid> that i wanted to delete. Then i have problem starting back my other SAP instance(we have to close all the services and sqlplus when deleting the oracle software). I couldn't start the services back with error 6: invalid handler. I could not see any sap system from MMC.
I believe it have to do with the environment variable and registry entries i deleted. Any idea how to recover back or tell me what is the standard environment variable that is needed for multiple sap and oracle to run?
p/s: we have multiple oracle software and multiple sap instance/DB instance installed in the same machine.

Oracle Software Packager (OSP) Latest Software & Documentation

Hi,
I am looking for latest version of OSP, when I google I got only Oracle Software Packager and Installer, Release 2.2.0.16.0 to download but I need latest version.
Where can I get the latest version of software and documentation. Please provide if anybody has any documentation on how to setup and usage etc.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Apparently what you found is the most current version. I contacted internal OTN support, and got this answer: "I am not aware of a more current version that what is listed."

Workaround consits of two steps:
1. Use jre 1.3.1_n (where n>10) (1.4.n use only if your platform is x86_64)
2. execute following commands before you execute runInstaller or dbca:
unset LANG
unset LC_TYPE

Oracle grid and db installer fails upon launch - win7x64

Hi. First let me say this is not my first time installing Oracle. I have installed oracle on Linux (just DB, ASM + DB) and Windows 7 x64 (just DB) successfully in the past. I've been working with Oracle for several years now. I'm a developer, not a DBA.
I'm attempting a new development installation on my home computer, which is running Windows 7 64-bit. I've downloaded the 64 bit media for the database and grid infrastructure.
My machine is a quad core i5 with 8GB ram. The storage is as follows:
1 x 64GB SSD (C: drive with Windows installation, 20GB free)
1 x 3TB spinning (D: drive, all program data, 2.8TB free)
4 x 1TB spinning (unmounted, unformatted, for use with ASM)
I have installed both the 32 bit and 64 bit current JDK.
I am logged in as an Administrator.
I have the oracle installation media in:
D:\Temp\grid
D:\Temp\database
I have the ORACLE_BASE system environment variable set to:
D:\Oracle (this directory exists, and is empty)
Steps to produce problem:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Terminal (Right click, run as Adminstrator)
Command Prompt input pasted below:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Windows\system32>D:
D:\>cd \temp\grid
D:\Temp\grid>setup
D:\Temp\grid>
Oracle installer quits immediatly
I am left with an install actions log file in D:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Temp\OraInstall<currenttimestamp>\
The log file contains:
Using paramFile: D:\Temp\grid\install\oraparam.ini
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. Actual 4294967296 Passed
The number of files bootstrapped for the jre is 0.
The number of files bootstrapped for the oui is 0.
There are no errors in the Windows event viewer.
Any steps as to what I can check would be great, I've never seen this behavior before. Thanks.

Wow. I found the solution buried here: Re: Can't run Oracle 11g r2 setup.exe on win2008 r2 sp1 x64
Apparently if the amount of free space is too great (you're kidding me, right Oracle?!) the installer will just die. Sounds like a bug that someone should look into fixing....
So from the post I've mentioned above, I gather that you need less than 2 TB of free space. I navigated to my D drive and did the following:
D:\Temp>fsutil file createnew imhuge.dat 1024000000000
File D:\Temp\imhuge.dat is created
Now, the OUI happily starts.

Thank you

HI JLK,
i think i have solved the problem. Try to install the Oracle Role Manager with the installer and select the "Install Software and Configure" and install the "Standard Model" to the Database. Don't deploy the standard.car file.
I hope i could help you.

Come on, Oracle, where's the quality?

It's getting really bad and EBS is by no means the sole culprit, although it's definitely a prime example of why people complain about poor-quality product coming from Oracle. Maybe a couple examples are in order:
Sloppy: The reference EBS implementation has no fewer than three complete copies of the JDK. By complete, I mean they include garbage like tutorials on how to make Sierpenski triangles, how to manipulate audio files, etc. Demo files have no business in a production software release and the fact that they're repeated several times over just shows that nobody at Oracle cares about doing the job correctly.
Sloppy: Patch numbers are now how many digits long? And they're incremented how? Exactly.
Regressions: The current version of the database engine breaks ASM due to a new bug where a file isn't closed properly. Not an EBS issue but still, if Oracle is carelessly breaking its core product that's really discouraging and doesn't promise much hope to people working in the apps side.
Really, I could go on and on but anyone who works with Oracle software knows exactly what I'm talking about and probably has many specific details they could add in. I'm being a bit vague deliberately as one never knows what crosses the NDA line until the white-shoe guys say it already happened.
The point is, Oracle has a HUGE quality problem and knows it and does nothing, and that really needs to change.

I agree with you fully. It has become nothing other than nightmare.
To add a few pain areas.
[1] Create Accounting - Nightmare - Absolute worst nightmare for OPM Folks.
[2] No FND Design for SLA - Yeah it might feel like what ! But go check out the etrm and there is no FND Design or table descriptions.
[3] Huge issues with SLA Data structure.
[4] Receiving transaction processorr - It is so BS. So many errors and have spoken to so many developers. It has become unmanageable.
Bottomline if you are on OPM, and are on 11.5.10.2 dont even think of moving to R12.
I can go on and on...

Where is the oracle linux 6.4 installation screenshots documentation ?.

Hello
Some questions.

I want to install the swap partition at the end of the disk.
I want to install oracle 11gr2 database software as well.

Edited by: Avi Miller on Apr 17, 2013 3:30 PM to remove download links.

The installation guide available at https://linux.oracle.com/documentation/ may require some updating. Last time I checked, chapter 16.16.5. Recommended Partitioning Scheme, did not include the swap space required for hibernation mode.
It is mentioned here:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/s2-diskpartrecommend-x86.html
Swap space size recommendations issued for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2 differed from the current recommendations, which were first issued with the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 in June 2012 and did not account for hibernation space.
