Oracle user guides

Dear everyone
Does any one know if it is possible to purchase Oracle User Guides? I know they are available on the oracle website to view and download, but I find it easier to browse through a hard copy.
My current access to Oracle 10g is through my university so I don’t own a copy of Oracle myself. I am after the user manuals for PL/SQL, Oracle spatial and Oracle Georaster.
Regards
Timothy Langner

Thank you for the replies. I have already downloaded the documentation. However I was interested in possibly buying hard copies so I can browse through the references more easily.
I've since contacted Oracle to find out more about some of the hard copy documentation as it comes in volumns and their store isn't very clear on prices for volumn sets.

Oracle User Guides in Foreign Languages

Does anyone know how to obtain Oracle User Guides a foreign language? We are internationally based. I've had no success on Metalink.
Appreciate any guidance,

If the specific requirement is around training it may be worth contacting Oracle University as they may have local langusge manuals for courses conducted in country.
From a training perspective there may be someone who can give you information around Oracle Tutor. I seem to recollect that there were translation programs that came with this. However - it was a sales demo !!

Oracle BPM Enterprise User Guide

I want to know about the importance of using Oracle BPM Enterprise.Can any one help where i can get the "Oracle BPM Enterprise User Guide" document.
Edited by: user613889 on May 7, 2010 3:16 AM

Here's where you can find all of the Oracle BPM 10g documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/index.html
Oracle BPM Studio 10g
Oracle BPM Studio is the integrated development and test environment where business analysts and developers can create, document and simulate process models, integrate services, create business rules and logic and create end user interfaces. Projects built in Studio can be deployed to Oracle BPM Enterprise. Although Studio has a small database (Derby) and Tomcat environment, these are only used for rapid testing. Studio's end user Workspace looks the same as Enterprise, but is limited to the number of concurrent users and the Workspace login only has a user id field and no password because it is only used for rapid and iterative testing. As a result, you cannot and should not use Studio's Workspace as your production environment.
Oracle BPM Enterprise 10g
Oracle BPM Enterprise is the production environment. At its heart, it has an engine that manages and executes the business services according to rules in the designed process models. The platform supports high-availability, fail-over and backup capabilities for mission critical processing. The engine is J2EE compliant or can run separately on a standalone JVM. When run on a J2EE application server, the Engines can be clustered.
Work item instance information is automatically persisted in the Engine's database tables as the instances flow through processes.
Orchestrated processes running on the engine are automatically exposed as Web services and executed across both internal and external processes and other applications.
Oracle BPM Enterprise engines are managed through the Oracle BPM Process Administrator Console. This is a web-based client that enables administrators to monitor and administer the Engines remotely.
The Oracle BPM Enterprise engine is exposed via both a Java Process Application Program Interface (PAPI) and a web service API (PAPI-WS).

Using Oracle Users in Realms and DataSource.getConnection

Is it possible to authenticate using an Oracle User via JAASRealm and also retrieve connections specific to that user from a DataSource?
I currently have an application which doesn't use either, but rather sets up a OracleDataSource. So basically I just want to allow the container to administer both the authentication and data source setup, while still allowing the getConnection(user,password):
CODE
ocpds = new OracleConnectionPoolDataSource();
ocpds.setURL(connectionString);
ocpds.setConnectionProperties(props);
ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setURL(connectionString);
ods.setConnectionCachingEnabled(true);
ods.setConnectionProperties(props);
// Pool and Cache
Properties poolProps = new Properties();
poolProps.setProperty("AbandonedConnectionTimeout", "60");
poolProps.setProperty("InactivityTimeout", "5");
poolProps.setProperty("TimeToLiveTimeout", "60");
poolProps.setProperty("ConnectionWaitTimeout", "60");
ods.setConnectionCacheProperties(poolProps);
ods.setConnectionProperties(props);
Util.logln("Connection Cache Properties");
cache = OracleConnectionCacheManager.getConnectionCacheManagerInstance();
cache.createCache(cacheName, ods, poolProps);
cache.setConnectionPoolDataSource(cacheName, ocpds);
........later in the BatCave (JSP or a servlet).....
conn = (OracleConnection) ods.getConnection(username, password);
ENDCODE
This section from OAS Containers for J2EE Services Guide worries me:
(from: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14012/datasrc.htm#sthref572 )
Using Different User Names for Two Connections to a Single Data Source
When you retrieve a connection from a DataSource object with a user name and password, this user name and password are used on all subsequent connection retrievals within the same transaction. This is true for all data source types.
For example, suppose an application retrieves a connection from the jdbc/OracleCMTDS1 data source with the scott user name. When the application retrieves a second connection from the same data source with a different user name, such as adams, the second user name (adams) is ignored. Instead, the original user name (scott) is used.
Thanks for reading all of this, and I appreciate any help!

Update:
I'm still not quite sure what to do. Where I am now:
1. I don't know how to authenticate against Oracle database users (non-ldap) via JNDI/JAAS/whatever
2. Proxy authentication (ALTER USER...CONNECT THROUGH...) seems to be promising for using connection pools, and in addition, once realm authentication happens, I can just pass the username and piggyback on the middletier connection without knowing the password used in authentication
3. I'm not sure if proxy addresses the issue that OAS Containers for J2EE Services Guide talks about in the original post
4. I'd prefer not to use OID
Again, if you have any little information, I'd really like to hear it.

Oracle user installation issue

I followed the instructions from
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/install.121/e17752/usr_grps.htm#BACGFIFJ
on my Solaris 11.1 VirtualBox box.
Since i used the Solaris 11.1 - Text install, i don't have a graphical interface (no X11)
i created an oracle user, as per the documentation instructions, using the command:
# /usr/sbin/useradd -u 54321 -g oinstall -G dba,oper oracle
The instructions in the following section http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/install.121/e17752/usr_grps.htm#BABBHHAD
say i should modify the .bash_profile file (which i assume is in the user's home directory)
The problem is that the oracle user created using the earlier command has no home directory. Actually, after logging in as oracle, i get the following message:
No directory! Logging in with home=/
# grep oracle /etc/passwd
oracle:x:54321:54321::/export/home/oracle:/usr/bin/bash
but /export/home/oracle does not exist.
When i try to mkdir /home/oracle i get:
mkdir: Failed to make directory "/home/oracle"; Operation not applicable
Needless to say, i cannot follow the rest of the Installation guide since user oracle has no home.
I understand that this is mostly a Solaris admin question, but my issue is with the installation guide for not being clear about its assumptions, which is why i posted this here.
Edit:
some more output:

                           Assembled 19 September 2012
after some digging, i found that this is a known bug, included in Solaris 11.1's Release notes.
Funny thing, this bug is listed as "Previously Documented Bug, Fixed in Solaris 11.1
7070558 When the automount Service Is Disabled, useradd Creates Users With Inaccessible Home Directories

Finally found my answer in another document. Setting Up and Managing User Accounts by Using the CLI - Managing User Accounts and User Environments in Oracle Solaris …
Apparently, with Solaris 11.1 one must use the -d and the -m switches when creating a new local user.
So the correct command to have issued is this:
/usr/sbin/useradd -u 54321 -g oinstall -G dba,oper -d localhost:/export/home/oracle -m oracle
Once the command was issued, the /export/home/oracle directory was created, (due to the -m switch), and because the user's home directory contains the hostname: part, this means that the /etc/auto_home file was updated.
Once i logged in into the oracle account, the /home/oracle directory was created by autofs.
The Oracle 12c documentation concerning the Solaris 11.1 OS should be updated to include the -d and -m switches.

What does "Not implemented in this database" mean?

What the page is saying that MTL_ONHAND_QUANTITIES is not a table. It is a view.
The main table underlying the view is mtl_onhand_quantities_detail.
After you perform a transaction, the data in this table (and view) is updated automatically.
You don't have to do anything.

Asmcmd permissions issue with oracle user

I installed 11gr2 grid infrastructure according to the recommendation of the installation guide that there would be one OS owner of grid infrastructure (grid user) and another OS ower for the database software (oracle).
As the oracle user I can access and control ASM via sql*plus but I can not use asmcmd. Using asmcmd requires me to switch to the grid user but I want the oracle user to be able to use it for script purposes, etc.

So that leaves me with the question... is there a way to get this to work or am I going to have to re-install the Grid Infrastructure under the oracle user?

Hi,
I installed 11gr2 grid infrastructure according to the recommendation of the installation guide that there would be one OS owner of grid infrastructure (grid user) and another OS ower for the database software (oracle).When you create a software owner for Oracle grid infrastructure is usually to separate grid infrastructure administrative privileges from Oracle Database administrative privileges.
As the oracle user I can access and control ASM via sql*plus but I can not use asmcmd. Using asmcmd requires me to switch to the grid user but I want the oracle user to be able to use it for script purposes, etc.
(oracle)$ id
uid=502(oracle) gid=501(oinstall) groups=10(wheel),501(oinstall),502(dba),506(asmdba)
(oracle)$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [+ASM1] ?
The Oracle base for ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/11.2.0/grid is /u01/app/oracle
(oracle)$ asmcmd
So that leaves me with the question... is there a way to get this to work or am I going to have to re-install the Grid Infrastructure under the oracle user?
$ dir /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/perl/bin/perl
-rwx------ 1 grid oinstall 1424555 Oct 23 14:55 /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/perl/bin/perl*I believe you should not set the file permissions, but access the asmcmd whith user grid or reinstall your Grid Infrastrucutre.
Or
Put user oracle on ASMDBA and ASMDMIM and access ASM from $ORACLE_HOME (database) through SQLPLUS.

Fully_qualified_remote_host_name while Configuring the oracle User's Enviro

Hello All,
I am installing Oracle 11g R2 on HP-UX server.
I am connected to the HP-UX server through putty.
On the Quick Installation guide i reached the section "Configuring the oracle User’s Environment" and i have the below questions:
In the below
Enter the following command to ensure that X Window applications can display
on this system:
$ xhost fully_qualified_remote_host_name
what is the fully_qualified_remote_host_name ? is it the IP address of the my own PC where i am connecting to the remote server? or the IP address of the server it self?
and in the below example
$ export DISPLAY=local_host:0.0 -- local host is the IP of the PC i am connecting from it to the server?
