Oracle vm virutal box

Hi all,
I need your comments on oracle VM Virtual Box. I want to use it in such environment
we have sun Solaris v490 server with necessary configuration we want to install only R12 for production purpose,
Please give me suggestion in this case we should depend on oracle vm virtual box or we should install oracle R12 on sun Solaris
directly.
which one is better option for enterprise organization(production)?
Thanks

Hi,
Really Please give me some input here in this thread that if we have already Sparc server machine then in this case does we have an extra
edge to move on vm template.
Is VM template apply only on vm virtual tool box and what it give us more advantage than other standard installations.
Is it fully recommended for production?
Thanks

Can the IPad run Oracle's Virtual Box?

There is a programme from my old Windows set up that I can't get for my iMac, so I run Oracle's Virtual Box that allows for a Windows environment to run on my Mac. So, I'm interested in whether an iPad can do the same thing. Can anyone help, please?

You cannot run the virtual machine directly on the iPad but you should be able to connect to the desktop of a virtual machine using one of the remote desktop connection apps.

https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch10.html#hwvirt
"VirtualBox's 64-bit guest support (added with version 2.0) and multiprocessing (SMP, added with version 3.0) both require hardware virtualization to be enabled. (This is not much of a limitation since the vast majority of today's 64-bit and multicore CPUs ship with hardware virtualization anyway; the exceptions to this rule are e.g. older Intel Celeron and AMD Opteron CPUs.)

Oracle VM Virtual Box - Developer Day Image

Just want to say what a good Out of Box experience I had with VirtualBox and the Developer day image. I currently use VMWare for all my Oracle images (Windows,OEL etc..) but I think VirtualBox will be the way forward!

Virtualization in general adds overhead so it will be slower than otherwise though if you are going to run a DB you should have pretty high performance disk if you want high performance.
What is your storage underneath (how many disks, what type of disks, & how are the presented/formatted/partitioned)?
I put SSDs under my DBs and they are performing really well. In my Dev environment I used Samsung 840 Pro SSDs and really like them.

Oracle ADF - Check box auto refresh on first select.

Hi,
I am using ADF application for development. in my project.
when select Check box for all record selection then all
Check box auto refresh on first select. and also records get refreshed
Pls suggest a solution for the same.
Thanks
Vinod

Vinod,
You need to give more information about your use case and the jdev version you are using.
You question is not clear to me. Do you want to set an attribute in all rows when you select a "select all" check box?
What do you mean by "Check box auto refresh on first select"?

Oracle apex check box with update column

hi to all:
i have report emp.it contain data like eno,ename,sal,record .
example:eno ename sal record
100 a 100
200 b 3000 going on...
using this column i am making report by using apex and report contain one submit button also.
1)in this report i am creating dynamic check box depend on eno..see my coding
declare
str varchar2(3000);
begin
str:='select htmldb_item.CHECKBOX(10,eno,DECODE(record,1,''CHECKED'')) "SELECT" ,eno,ename,sal ,record from emp where 1=1';
return str;
end;
2)in process crated after submit
iam created pl/code like ..this code for
declare
i number;
str varchar2(2000);
emp_id number;
begin
FOR i in 1..HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F10.count
LOOP
IF HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F10(i) is not null then
SELECT htmldb_application.G_F10(i) INTO emp_id from dual;
--insert into my_log values(emp_id);commit;
update emp set record=1 where eno=emp_id ;
commit;
else if HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F10(i) is null then
update emp set record=0 where eno=emp_id ;
commit;
else
null;
end if;
end loop;
end;
my requirenent:
a)if check box checked then -update -record column -1
b)if check box uncked then -update - record column -0
in process coding--
eno alway is not null only..
so i want to do check box with update the record column..like this
a)if check box checked then -update -record column -1
b)if check box uncked then -update - record column -0
pls give solution.
output i want like this example:
chebox eno ename sal record
checked(X) 100 a 300 1
checked(x) 200 b 300 1
next time i am trying to make uncheck first row like
chebox eno ename sal record
unchecked 100 a 300 0
checked(x) 200 b 300 1

I'm not really sure what your problem is but if you are trying to update/save data when a checkbox is checked I would use javascript to call an application process to do the update/save.

Installation of Oracle Database 11g R2 Grid is failing

Hi Guys,
I've been trying to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g R2 (11.2.0.2) for a long time, but, failing every time. This is what I've tried so far:
Things being used:
OS: Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2
VM Software: VMware Workstation 7.1 and VMware Server 2
Oracle SW: Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g R2 - 11.2.0.2
VMs: Three RAC nodes - rac1, rac2, rac3
I've tried to follow the link given below to on both VMware Server and VMware Workstation all goes well until it asks us to run two scripts as root.
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2RACInstallationOnOEL5UsingVMwareServer2.php
The script "/u01/app/grid/11.2.0/root.sh" completes successfully on the first node, rac1, however, it fails on the rest of them with the following error:
CRS-4402: The CSS daemon was started in exclusive mode but found an active CSS daemon on node rac1, number 1, and is terminating
An active cluster was found during exclusive startup, restarting to join the cluster
Start of resource "ora.crsd" failed

Instead of using shared disk as "independent-persistent" disks I've also used openfiler 2.99 to allocate storage by following below given link. With that the issue was that the iSCSI disks were not persistent and no solution worked to fix that.
http://www.jobacle.nl/?p=957
I also tried to use OCFS2 for OCR and VOTING disks, the installation completes successfully, however, the asm instance, registry, and few other services doesn't start. When I tried to reboot all the machines not a single oracle service came up. The crs just died because of OCR and VOTING disks.
I've tried so many things but nothing works.
My last installation was as follows:
==============================

runcluvfy succeeds for all nodes
All nodes can see and write to the ASM disks.During the installation of GI 11.2.0.2 at prerequisites test got one error:
PRVF-5449 : Check of Voting Disk location "ORCL:(ORCL:)" failed
However, according to Metalink, note ID 1267569.1, its a bug and its going to be fixed in 11.2.0.3. The note gives a workaround which is the manual testing of the ASM disks from all the nodes and as long it succeeds we can ignore the error. Therefore, I just ignored the error and carried on. When prompted I executed the first script, "/u01/app/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh ", on all the nodes successfully. The second script, "/u01/app/grid/11.2.0/root.sh" completes successfully on rac1, however, fails on the rest of the nodes.
On rac2 the alertrac2.log contains the following errors:

Still miss those days when Oracle used to release easy to use and easy to install softwares, but now thats not the case. Grid Infrastructure, Grid Control, and other similar technologies have become so complicated and difficult for us to install on VMs and play with them.

Updates:
Metalink doc, Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2 Installation or Upgrade may fail due to Multicasting Requirement [ID 1212703.1], shows similar errors that I've in my log files. Therefore, I thought Multicast could be the culprit. Nonetheless:

Hi,
Good if you have it resolved. Now could you please mark the thread as answered to avoid confusion
Cheers

Oracle deinstall doesnt work. I guess you have to reinstall windows?

we could not get 11g R2 to work on a new Windows 2008 server.
So now we need to remove it.
According to this document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32007/deinstall.htm#CIHJCJHC
The correct way to uninstall is to:
1) Start Oracle Universal Installer.
2) Click the Deinstall Products button
3) Select the Oracle home you wish to remove.
4) Check the boxes of components to remove (tediously you have to check every box)
5) Click remove.
But when you do this, a dialogue pops up and says:
"please run the command c:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\deinstall\deinstall to deinstall Orcacle".
WTH?
Why is the documentation wrong, and why do they tell you to use the installer to deinstall, if its just going to tell you to run a command line?
When you run this, it says:
Specify all Single Instance listeners that are to be de-configured [LISTENER]:
WTH? How does one specify all single instance listeners?
There are litterally hundreds of pages of documentation on how to uninstall oracle - something which should be a trival task. But I cant find any mention of how to find out how to specify all single instance listeners.
In desperation, I tried hitting enter, at least takes you to the next gotcha:
The details of database(s) ORCL have been discovered automatically. Do you still want to modify the details of ORCL data
base(s)? [n]:
WTH? Why would I want to modify the details of a database? I want to delete oracle and everything it has installed, not modfy details. Should I say yest or no? I have NO idea. Give me more options, or dont ask at all!
If I say y, it says:
Specify the type of this database (1.Single Instance Database|2.Oracle Restart Enabled Database) [1]:
What? I have NO idea what the difference between these two options are. This was never mentioned in the installation process, so way ask now? Why doesnt it just delete the DB as I requested?
At this point I gave up.
Oracle is the worst SW on windows I have seen. Its impossible for a unix and windows sys admin with 20 years experience to even install or remove.

Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 Installation Fails during Disk Partitioning

Hi,
I've tried to install Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 by creating a Virtual Machine using Oracle VM Virtual Box in my laptop with Window XP host OS (NTFS filesystem), by following the below steps.
1) Installed Oracle VM Virtual Box
2) Created a new Virtual machine using a virtual box by specifying the two .iso images i.e OracleLinux-R6-U1-Server-i386-dvd.iso and boot.iso as the boot device and by specifying the following Disk files (.vdi) as follows.
2.1) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Root_Disk_1.vdi - For the / (i.e Root) partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
2.2) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Swap_Disk_1.vdi - For the swap partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - swap
2.3) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_User_Disk_1.vdi - For the /usr partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 20 GB - ext4
2.4) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Home_Disk_1.vdi - For the /home partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
But while installing OEL 6.1 after specifying the partitions, the installer get hung and throws an error as bug while creating the ext4 filesystem on /dev/sda1.
I tried to specify the default 8 GB for all the above four partitions, the installer successfully continues without any issues. But if i specify any partition more than 8 GB, it fails.
Is there anyway I can solve this problem by creating the above specified partitions with the above size ? Why does it fail if i specify any size more than 8 GB ?
Thanks
Harish

8 GB is a common limit for systems were the boot loader or system BIOS imposes an addressable space limit for the boot partition. In such situations, the system boot partition has to fit within the first 8 GB physical boundary of the harddrive.
Your setup seems a bit unusual. Why do you create separate disks for each Linux partition?
Normally the Linux installer creates necessary partitions on the disk, including a /boot partition that is usually only 100 MB in size.
What are you doing with boot.iso? You should be able to start the system from the main installation DVD or .iso image. You might also want to install x86_64 Linux, unless your hardware is really very old and does not support the 64-bit extension. You can run 32-bit software on a n 64-bit OS, but not the other way around and you will limit your software to 32-bit only.

Oracle DB to MS SQL Server via SSL ODBC

Is it possible to connect an Oracle 11.2 box to a MS SQL Server box with SSL ODBC?
If not; then with 12c?
If not SSL, would the two be otherwise compatable with a different form of encryption? TNS perhaps?
The MS SQL Server side would be read only.
Any help would be great, thanks.

It would be good to know which product you're going to use as both gateway products that can connect to the SQL Server are based on ODBC. I assume you're talking about DG4ODBC but will also comment on Dg4MSQL.
When you're going to use DG4ODBC it is the ODBC driver that needs to be SSL capable. When you have a SSL capable driver you can either use 11.2 or 12.1 release of DG4ODBC.
Regarding DG4MSQl up to 11.2.0.4 the SSL libs have been releases for several platforms and support can ask for a backport of the libs to 11.2.0.4 if they do not exist. So just file a service request if they are missing.
12c by default comes with the SSL libs and you only need to configure it.

Using archivelog and control file from other Oracle server

I am still bothered with my backup process.
I have 2 AIX boxes (same model, say A and B); both have BAAN 5 and Oracle 10g R2 on. Right now my colleague insists to use the export pump (cold backup) from Prod Oracle server (A) to restore the Oracle server on Box B. The Prod server has the archivelog mode turn on. But it will miss any transaction data from import pump till the crash point of Box A. So this is my confusion.
Can I pass the control files and archivelog files form Box A (prod server) to Box B and use them to restore the Box B as the latest Prod server? How?
I tried to convince them to use the RMAN backup? But not successful?
I think the best way is probably to use the Oracle Data guard. However, there is always one concern to my manager and colleague, that such process will cause the data on the restored server (failover, Box B) not recognizable by the BAAN, which define the objects (tables).
Thanks

Performing a logical backup is not useful to restore to the point of failure. The only valid and available option is a hot backup/archivelog mode. Your recovery manager backup perform a controlfile and redologfile backup, so those can be restored at the destination. You must take care of the way you perform the backup, and ensure the paths where your backup is being deposited are visible by the second node. A shared storage with same mount points is suitable in this case. A tape robot configured at both nodes is also a suitable solution.
Recovery manager perfoms a controlfile and spfile restore, too. This rman command perform the action:
SET DBID <DBID of the database,for which you want to restore the controlfile>;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM <name_of_backupiece_which_contains_the_controlfile backup>';
I don't see any problem on the recovery manager side, and technically speaking, on the Oracle side it is perfectly possible to restore your database at a remote location. I don't know what happens on the BAAN side, if you are required to have it configured to be operative on the target node. You could try to clone your database at the node B, configure BAAN and prepare the proceduere in case of failure.
Configuring a dataguard is also a recomended action. So it is to think about Cold Failed Over clusters. I have recently performed a CFC configuration with BAAN. No problem it works smoothly.

Best practice for making changes to Oracle apps business views and BAs/fold

HI
The oracle BI solution comes with pre-defined Business Views- database views and Business Areas and folders. If we want to customize those database views or BAs and folders what will be the best practice in order to avoid losing it during any upgrades.
For ex Oracle out-of box Order Management BA that we are using heavily needs some additional fields to be added to Order Header and Order Lines folders and we also want to add some custom folders to this BA.
If we do the changes to the database views behind this BA would they be lost during the upgrade or do we have to copy(duplicate) those views, updated them and create a custom BA and folders against those views.
Thanks

Hi,
If you are adding new folders then just add them to the Oracle Business Area. The business area is just a collection of folders. If the business area was changed in an upgrade the new folder would not be deleted.
If you want to add fields to the existing folders/views then you have 2 options. Add the field to the defining base view (these are the views beginning OEBV and OEFV) and then regenerate the business views. This may be overwritten if the view is upgrade but this is unlikely.
Alternatively, copy the view to create a new version and then map the old folder to the new view and refresh. You may need to re-map the folder if the folder is upgraded, but at least you have a single folder used by both Oracle and custom reports.
