Oracle Text in installing Oracle 10g without licence!!

Hi. Everyone.
I've read some thread , but I am still confused about "oracle text".
Now, I am testing oracle10g database.
I downloaded 10g software from www.oracle.com, and installed it sucessfully
on windows xp.
When I was trying to import a dump file from oracle9i to
the unlicenced oracle10g database, I got the error , IMP-00017, which
is related to "Oracle Text".
I checked "dba_users" dictionary, but ctxsys user is locked and expired.
I read some thread on this site, and according to the advice, I tried to
enable oracle text, using "DBCA".
However, every database option on DBCA is disabled, I was not able to
check oracle text.
Lastly, how can I enable "Oracle Text" with unlicenced oracle 10g ?
Is this possible without licence?
I am very confused about this.
I am looking forward to hear your experience and advices.
Have a nice day.
Best Regards.
Ho.

Well, instead of being confused, you could go to http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=1 and look at
1) the licensing document, which would tell you whether you need a separate license, and
2) under the 'Books' tab, look at the Text Application Developer's Guide or the Text Reference manuals for details.
You could also look for the Oracle Text forum (from the http://forums.oracle.com page, under Database - More, or Text and ask the people who concentrate on that set of features.
In general, Oracle Text is a set of extensions, the definitions for which are stored under user ctxsys. You would use these extensions by creating your own objects that are based on the extensions.
For example, suppose your tables contain varchar2 columns. Create indexes that are based on ctxsys's 'context index type' and your application can then use the 'CONTAINS' keyword search capability (which is effectively a ctxsys-owned extension to the select)
However, you would never log on to ctxsys and do anythibng with that as you risk changing the template code that Oracle has supplied.

PS: Yes, Oracle Text is included as part of the base database. Most of it is even included in the free Oracle XE database.

Oracle Text index hangs(Oracle 11g linux enterprise edition)

Hi guru,
One very criticial and showstopper issue coming in Oracle Text Indexing.
I have table ResourceTable(ResId,Contents blob ,docformat)
I am creating text index on Contents column by using follwing command:
create index [IndexName] on [TableName] (contents) indextype is ctxsys.context ('lexer mylex stoplist ctxsys.default_stoplist format column ISDOCFORMAT sync(every "sysdate+1/24") storage my_text_storage memory 200M')parallel 2
I found there is one document of text/html type which hangs oracle text indexing thread.Oracle doest not give any error message keep using CPU 100% and no progress.
I then create test table with same stucture and put this corrupted documet record in this table.and did indexing again but its not doing index /not ignoring it and hangs .We have also tried to use timeout feature of inso filter so that if such type of document comes at the time of indexing oracle text indexing process will bypass it after specific time interval but still same issue comes and oracle is not bypassing such faulty document.
This is realy show stopper issue and any kind of help will be greatly appricited.

You need to raise an SR with Oracle Support for this, and send them the file which is causing the hang. It should then be easy to investigate the problem and schedule a fix.
If you don't have a support contract, you could send the file to me and I'll raise a bug. However, if we fix it you won't be able to get the fix until it appears in the next downloadable version.

Oracle Text word count in 10g?

Given a clob column full of text in 10g and a particular word, is there a way to return the frequency (word count) of this word in the documents search? Not a count of the records returned but an actual count of the number of times the word is in the documents searched. I couldn't seem to find how in the Oracle text documentation, seems like it would be a simple operation, so I may be looking in the wrong place. Any tips?

In 10g, you can specify algorithm="count" within a query template. I have demonstrated in 11g below, but have used it in 10g previously and it is in the 10g documentaiton.

Oracle Text installation in Oracle 9i(9.2.0.5.0)

Can anybody give me reference to any document about installing "Oracle Text" on Oracle 9i(9.2.0.5.0)? I could not find the entry in the dba_registry in the first place?
Regards,
Anirban

You should be using a currently supported version, 10g or 11g. In 10g, the Text stuff is on the "companion cd" and in 11g, the Text stuff is on the "examples". These things must be downloaded separately. Just follow the instructions on the download page. Download, unzip, then install, following the instructions that you see on the screen. When you are done, check for the CTXSYS schema and remember that you need to grant the appropriate privileges in order to use it. There is a Text Reference and a Text Application Developer's Guide included in the Oracle online documentation.

How to find which windows account owns oracle i.e Installed oracle

Hi,
I want to write a script which tells me the name of the Windows account that was used to Install oracle on a machine.
How can I do this and where can I get this information. I have seen the registries. This information is not there.
please help

hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I had seen the logs but they are not a very convincing thing. If you have had multiple installations and deinstallations, you will have as many logs in that directory. I have to read this information through scripts.
It wouldnt be good if I have to read 5-6 log files each around 500KB to 2 MB in size to extract this information, because I have other operations waiting for the output of this script.
Another problem is that the file names are not consistent. Also, installation and deinstallation logs cannot be differentiated based on file name or any other parameter.
So I think there might be an alternative way. any ideas?

Oracle Enterprise Linux - Installing Oracle

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install Oracle on Oracle Enterprise Linux. I know, I know...it seems silly to install Oracle on Oracle enterprise Linux. What seems even more ridiculous is that the default install does not include everything you'd need to install Oracle. Here's the error...it's all over Google, but none of the solutions are working for me. Looks like I just need a package, but where do I get it?

There was a very similar question a few hours ago. You may want to check the answer:
Packages error while installing Oracle Management Agent.
Please always post the 4 digit version of Oracle you are trying to install and also the Oracle Linux version / distribution you are using.
Since you are using Oracle Linux you can use Oracle public yum. Details are here:
http://public-yum.oracle.com/
Then all you need to do as root or superuser is:
yum install libXp.i386
You may also want to install:
yum install oracle-validated
which will also setup the account, kernel parameters, etc.
Oracle Enterprise Linux is a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which should explain why it does not include everything you'd need to install Oracle database. As of Oracle Linux 5.5 the product was renamed from OEL to OL and since 5.6 the default kernel is Oracle Linux UEK, which is Oracle customized.

Do i need oracle portal to install Oracle Drive ?

Hi,
Sorry for this dumber question, I am now to this.
I am using an enterprise oracle database and I want to use the Oracle Drive feature.
Do I need to install Oracle Portal only for doing this ?
Thank you for your kind answer.
Regards,
Christian

I think you do because this is a WebDAV tool and allows you to see the page groups and pages as folders/directories.

Env settings for oracle user , when installing Oracle on linux

Good Morning Oracle Experts ;
Basicallly my major subject is Electrical and Electronics
I am very new to ORACLE/LINUX [ LEARNING ORACLE DBA ] Technology.
I have THREE questions .. Please help me to understand oracle concepts.
QUES 1 :
i am getting confused about “setting bash_profile” and it’s contents
I googled , it said to set env variables for oracle user. Ok .
Can anyone explain clearly what exactly happens when “ setting bash_profile ” ?

Installation of Oracle Text in Oracle 10g

Hi All,
Could you please help me in installing ORACLE TEXT in Oracle 10g. What exactly ils this feature and how I can install it.
Regards
Harpreet Singh

You don't need the companion CD to install Oracle Text.
Oracle Text is installed by default if you have created your database using DBCA.
However, if your database has been installed manually you may need to install this feature additionally.
In order to check if the feature is already present check if CTXSYS schema exists:
SQL> select username
2 from dba_users
3 where username='CTXSYS';
USERNAME
CTXSYS
SQL>Cheers,
Mihajlo

Index document with Oracle Text from an ECM without saving the content

Hi,
I have documents in a ECM (Alfresco, UCM and more) and I would like Oracle Text to index the document without saving the content. I want to save space and not have redundant information. I would use Oracle Text to search for document's identification (ID) and fetch the document from the ECM using the ID.
Is it possible ?
Do I have to use Secure Enterprise Search ?
Thanks
Simon

I want to save space and not have redundant information.The database space or the disk space (in OS)?
If it the database space, it is not possible to index/serach without storing the file conetents.
using , FILE_DATASTORE you can save the file in the disk (OS) and index them.
When you remove the file, you need to re-index it.
I donot see any other ways.
Do I have to use Secure Enterprise Search ?SES also uses Oracle Text as its base. It also uses FILE_DATASTORE. But the re-indexing part is automated using crawlers.

Can't install oracle 10g on solaris v10 X86!!!

Hi everybody, I got error messages below:
====================================================
$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9. Actual 5.10
Failed <<<<
=====================================================
Does that mean there is not Oracle 10g for Solairs 10 X86?
Where can I find Oracle 9i for Solairs x86?
Thanks advance!

10g on Solaris 10 needs special handling:
1. Execute runInstaller with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.
2. Select 'Do not create a starter database' when installing Oracle 10g.
3. During installation, the warning message 'SUNWsprox package not installed' can be ignored. Press Continue to resume the installation.
4. Download and install patch 4186426 from metalink.oracle.com after installing Oracle 10g software.
5. If you have an End User Solaris 10 distribution, install the SUNWuiu8 package prior to installing the 10g client.

ORACLE TEXT 10G의 수동 설치와, 설치 해제 방법

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2006-03-17
ORACLE TEXT 10G의 수동 설치와, 설치 해제 방법
===================================
PURPOSE
이 문서는, Oracle Text 10gR1의 수동 설치와 설치 내용의 확인, 설치 해제 방법을 기술하고 있다.
이 정보는, Oracle 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2)의 Text를 구성하는 데이터베이스 관리자와, 기술 지원 담당자에게
유용한 정보가 될 것이다.
Explanation
* 주의 사항
오라클 데이터베이스를 Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA)를 사용하여 생성하였다면, Text는
기본적으로 설치되며, 별도로 아래 기술된 절차에 따라 설치를 진행할 필요가 없다.
Oracle Text는 모든 데이터베이스 에디션에 (Oracle Database Standard Edition One,
Oracle Database Standard Edition (SE), Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (EE),
Oracle Database Personal Edition ) 추가 라이센스 비용 없이 사용할 수 있다.
Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (EE)의 경우, Oracle Text를 설치하기전에 Oracle Data Mining (ODM)
기능을 사용할 수 있게 하는 것이 좋다. 이와 같이 하면, SVM classifier 와 KMEANS clustering 기능을 사용
할 수 있다. RULE classifier 나 TEXTK clustering과 같은 다른 기능은 ODM이 설치되지 않는 상태에서도
실행 가능하다.
* 설치 절차
데이터베이스를 수동으로 생성하였거나, 데이터베이스 생성 후 Text를 나중에 별도로 설치하기 위해서는
다음과 같은 절차를 따른다.
참고: SQL*Plus에서 $ORACLE_HOME 대신에 '?'를 사용하였다.
1. SQL*Plus에 SYSDBA로 연결 한 수, 다음과 같이 스크립트를 호출하면, CTXSYS 스키마에 Text dictionary가
생성된다.
SQL> connect SYS/password as SYSDBA
SQL> spool text_install.txt
SQL>@?/ctx/admin/catctx.sql CTXSYS SYSAUX TEMP LOCK
위 명령에서:
CTXSYS - ctxsys 사용자의 패스워드
SYSAUX - ctxsys 사용자의 default tablespace명
TEMP - ctxsys 사용자의 temporary tablespace명
LOCK|NOLOCK - ctxsys 사용자 계정을 잠글 것인지, 잠금 해제 할 것인지 여부
2. 위 작업이 끝나면 언어별로 적절한 default preference를 생성한다.
Oracle text가 지원하는 언어별 default preference는 /ctx/admin/defaults 디렉토리에 있다.
예를 들면, English(US), Danish(DK), Dutch(NL), Finnish(SF), French(F), German(D), Italian(IT),
Portuguese(PT), Spanish(E), Swedish(S) 등이 있다.
이들 스크립트는 drdefXX.sql과 같은 파일 명을 갖는데, 여기서 XX는 사용하고자 하는 국제
코드이다. 예를 들어 US default preference를 수동으로 설치하기 위해서는 sqlplus에 CTXSYS
계정으로 로그인 한 후, 'drdefus.sql'을 다음과 같이 실행시킨다.
예를 들어 한국의 경우엔 KR default preference를 수동으로 설치하기 위해서는 sqlplus에 CTXSYS
계정으로 로그인 한 후, 'drdefkr.sql'을 다음과 같이 실행시킨다.
SQL> connect CTXSYS/password
SQL>@?/ctx/admin/defaults/drdefko.sql
SQL> spool off
*** 주의 ***
만약 Text를 설치하기 전에 Oracle Data Mining (ODM)을 설치하였다면, text_install.txt 파일에서
public synonym과 관련된 ORA-955 에러가 남겨진 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 예를 들어 dm_svm_build 와
관련된 에러가 발생하게 되는데 이 에러는 무시하면 된다. CTXSYS 스키마에 API를 휴내내는 더미
패키지를 생성하는데, 설치 과정에서 public synonym을 생성하는 것을 시도해 보기 때문이다.
ODM이 설치되어 있는 상태에서는, public synonym 생성은 실패하게 되고, public synonym이
ODM의 객체를 가리키는 상태가 되므로, 정상적인 동작이 된다.
3. Text 10gR1 (10.1.0.x) 정상 설치 여부에 대한 확인
a. 모든 Text 객체가 CTXSYS 스키마에 정상적으로 설치 되었는지 여부를 확인한다.
b. CTXSYS 스키마에 속한 객체중 invalid 상태인 것들이 없는 것이 있는지 확인한다.
정상적으로 설치된 상태에서는 결과 값으로 "no rows selected"가 나와야 한다.
만약 invalid 상태의 객체가 있다면 수동으로 이들 객체를 컴파일 해 주어야 한다.

4. 수동으로 설치 해제를 하는 절차
*** 주의 ***
Oracle Text를 설치 해제 하기 전에, CTXSYS 이외의 계정에서 생성한 모든 Text 인덱스를 drop 시키는 것이
좋다.
CTXSYS 스키마의 Text dictionary는 SQL*Plus에 SYSDBA로 연결하여 다음과 같이 스크립트를 실행 시킴으로써
제거된다.
SQL> connect SYS/password as SYSDBA
SQL> spool spool textdeinstall.log
SQL>@?/ctx/admin/catnoctx.sql
SQL> spool off
Review the output file textdeinstall.log for errors.

Installing Oracle Application Server 10g 101202 on Windows 2008 64 bit

Hi All,
what i need to do is install this software like this:
installing Oracle Infrastructure to handel Sessions as db for oracle forms & reports
install Oracle Forms & Reports Service as Middle-Tire on the same machine in defirent home
configure my report server as i require it to work with rdf files in spechial folders
i have done this installation more than i can remember in Windows 2003 R2 SP2 32 bit
but for Windows Server 2008 i am facing some problem that there is no software avilable for 64 bit or Windows 2008 in Oracle Download Site
Spechilaly when my server is not itanum !
Can any one point me to the right download page if avilable or another solution for this problem
i don't think that oracle have stopped support for this product spechilaly when the reports generated by Oracle Report Service is far to good and fast with Oracle Database
Best Regards
Ibrahim

Hi Ibrahim,
You should decide what you require.
32bit version can be installed on 64bit server and this should work fine (check the certification matrix for this).
The "problem" is that you would not gain any performance benefit from the 64bit server
If you want to have benefit you can upgrade the JVM to 64 bit version.
I did this 3 years ago and I do not remember exact steps though everything worked OK.
WARNING:
this can be unsupported, ask support to be sure
- Install the 32 bit version on the server
- Download 64 bit Java JRE/JDK and install it (well, you can search the same release as included in the AppServer or try newer one, 7 for example)
- later, reconfigure the appserver so it uses the version you've installed, OR Copy the everything from c:\progfiles\java\... to the directory OraHome\... (forgot exact directories)
try to search the forum, there had been a thread with the same question

Unable to Install oracle 10g R2 on RHEL5 with 64 bit

Hi,
Operating Systm:LINUX(RHEL 5 64 bit)
When we are trying to run ./runInsatller we are getting the below error .And it is not displaying any ORACLE GUI to install
[oracle@virqtsXora01 ~]$ cd database/
[oracle@virqtsXora01 database]$ ./runInstaller

DISPLAY not set. Please set the DISPLAY and try again.
Depending on the Unix Shell, you can use one of the following commands as examples to set the DISPLAY environment variable:
- For csh:                      % setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
- For sh, ksh and bash:         $ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0; export DISPLAY
Use the following command to see what shell is being used:
        echo $SHELL
Use the following command to view the current DISPLAY environment variable setting:
        echo $DISPLAY
- Make sure that client users are authorized to connect to the X Server.
To enable client users to access the X Server, open an xterm, dtterm or xconsole as the user that started the session and type the following command:
% xhost +
To test that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, run a X11 based program that comes with the native operating system such as 'xclock':
        % <full path to xclock.. see below>
If you are not able to run xclock successfully, please refer to your PC-X Server or OS vendor for further assistance.
Typical path for xclock: /usr/X11R6/bin/xclock

Hi,
Here we are trying to install oracle S/W through nx client .
I am unable to get the GUI of oracle Installer after following your steps.

Ok, you are starting an ssh session to a server at 192.168.7.93.
What is the IP address of the machine from which you are starting the ssh session?

[oracle@virqtsXora01 ~]$ DISPLAY=192.168.7.93:0.0; export DISPLAY192.168.7.93 is the IP address of the machine that you are connected TO, the ip address of the machine that will be executing the installer.
What is the IP address of the client from which you started the ssh session ... the machine that you are sitting at and expecting to see output? It is the IP address of that machine that you need to set in your DISPLAY variable. That tells the remote machine to redirect display output to the IP address specified by the DISPLAY variable.
And then, to receive that redirected output, you need to start an x-server on that machine. x-ming in one popular, free x-server.

Problem with oracle text indexes during import

We have a 9.2.0.6 database using oracle text features on a server with windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP4.
We need to export its data ( user ARIANE only ) and then import the result into another 9.2.0.6 database.
The import never comes to an end.
The only way to make it work is to use the "indexes=n" clause.
Then ( without the indexes ), we tried to create manually the oracle text indexes.
We get this error :
CREATE INDEX ARIANE.DOSTEXTE_DTTEXTE_CTXIDX ON ARIANE.DOSTEXTE (DTTEXTE)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS('lexer ariane_lexer stoplist ctxsys.default_stoplist storage ariane_storage');
ORA-29855: erreur d'exécution de la routine ODCIINDEXCREATE
ORA-20000: Erreur Oracle Text :
DRG-10700: préférence inexistante : ariane_lexer
ORA-06512: à "CTXSYS.DRUE", ligne 157
ORA-06512: à "CTXSYS.TEXTINDEXMETHODS", ligne 219
We then tried to uninstall Oracle text and install it ( My Oracle Support [ID 275689.1] ). The index creation above still fails.
We also checked our Text installation and setup through My Oracle Support FAQ ( ID 153264.1 ) and everything seems ok.
Do we have to create some ARIANE* lexer preferences through specific pl/sql ( ctx_report* ? ) before importing anything from the ARIANE user ?
What do we need to do exactly when exporting data with oracle text features from one database to another given we used to restore the database through a copy of the entire windows files ?
Is there a specific order to follow to succeed an import ?
Thank you for your help.

Hi
index preferences are not exported, ie ariane_lexer + ariane_storage, only the Text index metada, thus the DRG-10700 from index DDL on target/import DB.
I recommend to use ctx_report.create_index_script on source/export DB, see Doc ID 189819.1 for details, export with indexes=N and then create text indexes manually after data import.
