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.

  • Unable to use ctx_doc despite Oracle Text installation

    Hi,
    We're using Oracle 9iR2.
    I'm in need to convert a Long Raw column to readable text. I've managed to convert it to CLOB and it now gives me an RTF encoded string.
    I've read on several forums that this RTF string can be converted to readable text using the CTX_DOC.FILTER or CTX_DOC.IFILTER functions. But despite Oracle Text 9.2.0.1.0 being successfully installed (by OUI), there ain't any CTX_DOC packages. I'm getting the error:
    "PLS-00201: identifier 'CTX_DOC.IFILTER' must be declared".
    Even running as database administrator, I'm not able to run this function.
    Can anyone help us in making this work? I've posted in the wrong forum before (PL/SQL) but their tips didn't work: unable to use ctx_doc despite Oracle Text installation
    Thanks in advance!

    Can you try some things just to confirm if you have a proper installation and configuration? Do you have a ctxsys user? Can you connect as ctxsys then describe ctx_doc? Please see the following section for configuration instructions:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/win.920/a95491/config.htm#1007332
    You might also want to upgrade to a newer version.

  • Booting T3-2 servers from downloaded Sol-11-1111 text installer media

    Hello, I have attempted to boot my new T3-2 servers from an ISO on a DVD. Each time I get an error stating that the file doesn't appear to be executable. This same DVD worked on a T3-1 server. My issue is that the compressed onboard install media that runs when you startup the drive isn't complete. I tried to create the IPS to update and install packages and rsync, pkgrepo, pkgrecv, among other commands, were not found. When I installed my T3-1's everything was there. Very frustrating, I tried connecting a USB DVD drive up but no joy, it still won't see it even after using the alias found with devalias. This was something I had to do with some older Sun hardware that wouldn't boot from the internal drives like this one.
    Any one have some information?
    I have googled and searched the Oracle docs but nothing.

  • 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.
    Jean-michel, Nemours, FRANCE

    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.

    You can just create a new workspace and run the following example:
    CREATE TABLE TEST(nr NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, test_text VARCHAR2(500))
    INSERT INTO TEST
         VALUES (1, 'This is a test');
    INSERT INTO TEST
         VALUES (2, 'of the InterMedia text installation')
    COMMIT
    CREATE INDEX test_idx ON TEST(test_text) INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.CONTEXT
    SELECT nr, test_text
      FROM TEST

  • Any documentation about text mode installation

    I have been searching the Sun website and other webs for some documentation on text mode installation of Solaris 10 on SPARC machines but have been unable to find anything to this effect. Sun's intallation guide does not discuss text mode intallation. I will be grateful if somebody could point me to a resouce that can guide me running the installation in text mode.
    Thanks in advance.

    I wanted to manually run all the tools andprograms
    needed for an installation. For example, insteadof
    the installation program prompting me forformating
    the drive, I should be doing it by using the tool
    needed for the purpose.I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean here.
    What "tool" are you expecting to use instead?
    Both the GUI and text installers ask the same
    questions.... I thought your question had something
    to do about the difference between the GUI installer
    and the text installer.
    I did the interactive insalltion as describedabove
    some time ago, and now I want to do it manually.How is "interactive" different from "manually"? To
    me they both simply mean that you haven't automated
    everything via custom jumpstart.That's right. What I mean from manual installation is to be able to run all the tools (programs) needed for installation yourself giving you a greater flexibility and first-hand feel and knowledge of the operating system instead of let the installation program (script or a program?) do it.
    What I meant from interactive installation is the case where installation program automates everything for you.
    >
    Will
    it be done through single user shell? If so, how?No, it's a program (suninstall) that is running.
    It's not a shell... but I'm not sure I understand
    your question.
    (impatiently bumping a post is annoying)I got a response anyway!Creating a properly phrased question is usually more
    effective.[Let me admit that I did not phrased my question well. May be because English is not my first language or I am not well aware of Sun terminology].

  • Solaris 11.2 x86 installation problem on GPT partitioned SSD

    I recently bought a new computer with Windows 8.1 pre-installed on it. I want to install Solaris 11.2 as dual-boot together with the pre-installed windows 8.1.
    The computer has a 128 GB SSD which is GPT partitioned. The SSD has 5 GPT partitions which are in use. I used a partition manager in Windows to shrink the size of the 5th partition (the windows system partition) so that i now have about 31 GB of unpartitioned, unused space after the 5 used partitions where i want to install Solaris into.
    For installation, I downloaded the Solaris text installer ISO and burned it onto a CD-R. Now, whenever the installation menu shows me the GPT partitions of my SSD and i choose "Use a GPT partition of the disk" it always goes back to the first menu screen where it says "Welcome to the Oracle Solaris installtion menu".
    Also, the installation menu shows the 5 used GPT partitions correctly, but then it shows me not one, but two partitions as "unused" with a size of 0.0 MB.
    What am i doing wrong?

    If you have support, then you will be better served by opening a support case.
    Assuming you don't, or you would have gone there already... There may well be bugs with supporting multiple OS's under GPT partitions.  I have no idea how much testing we did for such cases, and to be totally honest we put little effort into dual-booting systems these days, as using VM's in VIrtualBox or other VM managers is a better answer for 90i+% of people.
    That said, posting the output from prtvtoc for the disk would give someone a chance to see if there's an obvious bug.

  • Fresh Installation Boot Errors

    I'm new to trying to work with Solaris 10, and to a lot of Solaris in general, so while I'd normally be happy to do a lot of reading (and have tried searching for answers on google a good deal already), I'm having a problem after a fresh installation of Solaris 10 on a Sparc T3-1 server that I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to solve.
    During the install I told the text installer I wanted to do a ZFS installation using both of my disks (only 2) in a mirrored configuration. I selected the default set of core system packages.
    After the install seemed to be done and the system rebooted, I'm getting the following when it comes up:

    Installation
    1.What are the steps to install interMedia Text manually, AFTER installing the code via the
    installer?
    A.
    cd $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/admin
    B. as SYS:
    @dr0csys.sql ctxsys system temp
    where ctxsys is the ctxsys password
    system is the default tablespace for ctxsys
    temp is the temporary tablespace for ctxsys
    C. as CTXSYS:
    @dr0inst.sql
    /oracle/db/dev118/ctx/lib/libctxx8.so
    (on Solaris)
    where /oracle/db/dev118 is $ORACLE_HOME
    D. as CTXSYS:
    @defaults/drdefus.sql
    Note: this is assuming you want U.S. to be your language default, otherwise run the
    corresponding drdef for your language.
    2.What are the steps to install interMedia Text manually, with a Net8 Configuration?
    A. Configure an IPC listener address.
    For example, change:
    LISTENER =
    (ADDRESS_LIST=
    (ADDRESS=
    (PROTOCOL=tcp) (HOST=ap118sun.us.oracle.com) (PORT=1521)
    to:
    LISTENER =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC) (KEY = EXTPROC0))
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = ap118sun) (PORT
    =1521))
    This shows the full LISTENER definition in your listener.ora. Note: EXTPROC0 ends in a
    zero.
    B. Add a system identifier (SID) name of PLSExtProc and a program name of EXTPROC in the server's LISTENER.ORA file.
    For example, in the SID_LIST_LISTENER definition, insert:
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC = ...
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME=PLSExtProc)(ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/db/dev118)
    (PROGRAM=extproc)
    C. Add a net service name description entry for EXTPROC0 in the server's tnsnames.ora
    file, using SID rather than SERVICE_NAME in the CONNECT_DATA section.
    For example, add this to the end of tnsnames.ora:
    extproc_connection_data =
    (DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=EXTPROC0))
    (CONNECT_DATA=
    (SID=PLSExtProc)
    (PRESENTATION = RO)
    This entry should be added exactly as you see it here (do NOT substitute your SID
    anywhere, do NOT change the case of any text). Note: EXTPROC0 ends in a zero, RO
    ends in an Oh
    1.How do I check my interMedia Text installation and setup?
    A.
    lsnrct1status
    should give you the following:
    LSNRCTL for Solaris: Version
    8.1.5.0.0 - Production on 31-MAR-99 18:57:49
    (c) Copyright 1998 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
    Connecting to
    (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=EXTPROC0)))

    Services Summary...
    PLSExtProc has 1 service handler(s)
    oco815 has 3 service handler(s)
    The command completed successfully
    The important information to understand here is the service handler for PLSExtProc.
    B. Create a user/table/index/query thus:
    As SYS or SYSTEM:
    create user ctxtest identified by ctxtest ;
    grant connect, resource, ctxapp to ctxtest ;
    Do any other grants, quotas, tablespace etc. for the new user. As CTXTEST:
    create table quick
    quick_id number primary key,
    text varchar(80)
    insert into quick ( quick_id, text )
    values ( 1, 'The cat sat on the mat' );
    insert into quick ( quick_id, text )
    values ( 2, 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog' );
    commit;
    create index quick_text on quick ( text )
    indextype is ctxsys.context;
    At this point, if your Net8 setup is NOT correct you will get:
    create index quick_text on quick ( text )
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-29855: error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
    ORA-20000: ConText error:
    DRG-50704: Net8 listener is not running or cannot start external procedures
    ORA-28575: unable to open RPC connection to external procedure agent
    ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.DRUE", line 122
    ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.TEXTINDEXMETHODS", line 34
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    If everything is OK, you will get:
    Index created.
    Now try some queries:
    SQL> select quick_id from quick where contains(text, 'cat')>0;
    QUICK_ID
    1
    SQL> select quick_id from quick where contains(text, 'fox')>0;
    QUICK_ID

    Congratulations !! You now have a successful interMedia Text V8.1 installation.

  • Solaris 10-to-11 Installation/Upgrade

    We are running Solaris 10 SPARC on our servers and we want to upgrade to Solaris 11. Now the Oracle Solaris 11 11/11 Media Pack v1 has multiple disks:
    Oracle Solaris 11 Automated Installer
    Oracle Solaris 11 IPS Repository
    Oracle Solaris 11 Text Installer
    We have read on about this installers and now, we need to know which exact installer DVD do we need to use to perform this installation?

    There is no upgrade between Solaris 10 and Solaris 11 only a fresh install.
    If you are doing interactive installation use the Text installer, otherwise setup an AI server.
    See the installation guide here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/E21798/index.html
    If you have been using Jumpstart on Solaris 10 there is a Jumpstart to AI transistion guide here:
