Oracle XE beta and Virtuozzo 2.6.2

I managed to get XE running successfully on a Virtuozzo VE using the RHAS3 template, quite happy to report it has been running absolutely stable for three weeks while running our favourite htmdb app.
Initially, I tried the Virtuozzo Oracle 9i conf file that was provided from SWSoft but I kept getting out of memory errors in the logs every time I attempted installation. Well, instead of spending a lot of time experimenting with the precise resource settings, I replaced the 9i.conf with the supplied Virtuozzo "heavy weight" 2048MB resource configuration and it installed okay. After that I reduced the resource settings to 256MB and it still ran fine. Could be something to do with virtual memory settings but I didn't spend a lot of time on it.
Just curious if anyone out there has done any experimenting with Oracle XE on Virtuozzo. Ideally, I'm aiming at offering Oracle XE in virtual and shared hosting environments, as an option along with the usual MySQL or PostgreSQL. So far it seems to be quite feasible.

Release notes explicitly say "no".

Oracle Development Tools and TFS

Hey there,
currently I'm struggeling with how to work with Visual Studio Oracle Development Tools and TFS.
I'm relatively new to Oracle-DBs, I'm known to MS SQL Server.
In General my colleagues and me work in the solution Explorer (SQL Server DB-Solution), upload and get the latest Version from TFS. If anything new comes in I can easily use the Schema compare from my solution to the database.
Now my question: How is this possible when working with Oracle DBs? Imagine I get some new tables and schemas from TFS. How do I Transfer this easily from solution Explorer to my Server Explorer / DBs?
Do I really have to deploy each and every script manually?
Thanks in advance

Hi Matthaeus Woroch,
Since this issue is related to the Oracle tool, you know that it is the third party tool and it has own support site, like the following documents:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/12c/r1/appdev/dotnet/SchemaCompare/index.html
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/visual-studio/overview/index.html
I suggest you post this issue to the Oracle forum for dedicated support. Thanks for your understanding.

Solaris 10 and Hitachi LUN mapping with Oracle 10g RAC and ASM?

Hi all,
I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
My question is this:
How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
Thanks for your help!

You don't seem to state categorically that you are using Solaris Cluster, so I'll assume it since this is mainly a forum about Solaris Cluster (and IMHO, Solaris Cluster with Clusterware is better than Clusterware on its own).
Clusterware has to see the same device names from all cluster nodes. This is why Solaris Cluster (SC) is a positive benefit over Clusterware because SC provides an automatically managed, consistent name space. Clusterware on its own forces you to manage either the symbolic links (or worse mknods) to create a consistent namespace!
So, given the SC consistent namespace you simple add the raw devices into the ASM configuration, i.e. /dev/did/rdsk/dXsY. If you are using Solaris Volume Manager, you would use /dev/md/<setname>/rdsk/dXXX and if you were using CVM/VxVM you would use /dev/vx/rdsk/<dg_name>/<dev_name>.
Of course, if you genuinely are using Clusterware on its own, then you have somewhat of a management issue! ... time to think about installing SC?

Any difference in the dbms and jdbc drivers btw oracle 8i lite and 9i lite

Is there any significant difference between oracle 8i lite and oracle 9i lite in terms of database and jdbc drivers?
If not, it may be better off using oracle8i.

According to Oracle , 9i lite is more powerful than 8i Lite.
one thing, 8i Lite is not certified for windows 2000.

Diff Between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager

1)What is the difference between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager?
2)What is the connection between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager?

Hi,
As of today you should install SOA Suite 11g
Fr this you will need to install Database (for development you can use XE)
Run RCU utility to crete DB schemas for SOA Suite.
Install Weblogic server
Install SOA Suite as an option to Weblogic
Create SOA Domain.
It is physically possible to do it in 2GB but is far better on 3 - 4GB
You can consider installing DB on different machine.

On the Oracle XE BETA Trial License agreement

Hi all,
I've got a question concerning the Oracle XE BETA Trial license (I'm referring to the document behind the "License Agreement" link in the "links" pane on the right top of the database home page)
I understand that the Oracle XE Beta License grants permission to use the product for evaluation purposes. I also understand that the license is for a limited period of time (one month) only. The things I'm not really clear on are these:
1) the license states that "You may not use the Software for any commercial or production purpose". What exactly constitutes commercial usage? For example, if I were to provide some business service, and want to allow my customers to enter a restricted or otherwise inaccessible web site powered by Oracle XE, Is that commercial usage? After all, people have to pay before they can access the site altough they are not paying for the database - they are paying for my content.
Also, I though I understood from Tom's podcast that you can redistribute Oracle XE in an embedded form - Does this mean I can't charge money for my own product once I embed Oracle XE?
2) will the production version have the same limitations regarding commercial usage of the database? What about the limited period of time?
Any replies are greatly appreciated.
kind regards
Roland

Tom,
thanks for the quick reply. I did browse around the forum pages, but no luck. Of course, I didn't do the obvious and hit the search button - my bad, truly sorry.
I already gathered the production release is planned for the end of februari: great news!
Just to be totally clear on this: does 'production environment' mean that I can legally charge my customers money for use of a web-application powered by XE?

What is diff between oracle application server and weblogic server?

what is the exact difference between oracle application server and weblogic application server?

The difference between Oracle Application Server AND WebLogic Server has been discussed in a lot of forums dated 2008 and earlier comparing OAS10g with WebLogic10.0/WebLogic9.2
But, now since Oracle has taken over WebLogic, this is not really important.
Now, OAS has no further releases post 10g. WebLogic Server will be the Oracle's strategic application server going forward.
So, if your query is for choosing one of them for a new environment, you are better of with WebLogic Server 10.3.6 OR WebLogic Server 12g
As we will not have further releases of OAS and also OAS10g will be end of life soon, we recommend Oracle WebLogic Server.
If you still want to know the differences, here is one such old oracle documentation link that talks about it

About Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway

Hi All,
I am very new at this topic, I want to know:
1)Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway same or not?Need license or not?
2)If want Creating Database Link from Oracle 11g to Sybase AS 15.5 Using Oracle Heterogeneous Services what drivers should I install from my pc(windows 7) and from my server(Linux red hat 5)?please give me link for this
3)Is there any link Step by step to configure odbc until creating dblink?
4)what more convenient, connect sybase from Oracle Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Gateway?
Thank you so much for your help
Regards
JOE

Joe,
let copy/paste your questions and comment inline:
1)Oracle Heterogeneous Services and Oracle Gateway same or not?Need license or not?
Let me first clarify one thing, heterogeneous services is the generic mechanism in the Oracle database used by all gateways. The product you are talking about is the Database Gateway for ODBC or the Database Gateway for Sybase.
The Database Gateway for ODBC is available for Linux and Windows. It is the free product which does not require an Oracle license. The license is included in your database license. It is a generic gateway which allows you to connect with any suitable 3rd party ODBC driver to a matching foreign database. As it is a generic connectivity which aloows you to connect to real databases but also to MS Excel or even Text files as long as you have a suitable ODBC driver, its capability is very limited.
The more powerful gateway is the Database Gateway for Sybase. It covers the same functionality as DG4ODBC but it allows you also to work with distributed transactions, it allows you to call remote Sybase stored procedures etc. This gateway is design for Sybase ASE connections, so it is also able to map certain Oracle functions to Sybase equivalents. This Database Gateway for Sybase is NOT for free, it requires an additional license.
2)If want Creating Database Link from Oracle 11g to Sybase AS 15.5 Using Oracle Heterogeneous Services what drivers should I install from my pc(windows 7) and from my server(Linux red hat 5)?please give me link for this
That depends on your preferences. Both gateways are available for Linux and for Windows. When using DG4ODBC you only need to pay attention that you get a suitable 3rd party ODBC driver for this platform with the matching word size (64bit for 64bit DG4ODBC and 32bit ODBC driver for installations of DG4ODBC on 32bit platforms).
The latest software release is currently 11.2.0.3 and it can be downloaded (and installed from scratch) from "My Oracle Support". Just open the Patches & Updates section, look for Patch 10404530: 11.2.0.3.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER and make sure to choose the platform you want to use. Then check out the readme as it lists which of these download CD's contains the gateway software.
BTW, the CD contains DG4ODBC and DG4SYBS and it is up to you to decide during the installation which product you want to use.
3)Is there any link Step by step to configure odbc until creating dblink?
The ODBC driver installation differs from vendor to vendor and platform to platform - so we don't have a specific note how to configure the ODBC driver. This kind of question is better handled by the ODBC driver vendor.
Regarding the set up of DG4ODBC on Windows you find suitable information in the knowledge base on My Oracle Support. Just look for:
How to Configure DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on Windows 32bit to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install          [Document 466225.1]
and for DG4SYBS:
How to Configure DG4SYBS (Oracle Database Gateway for Sybase) on 64bit Unix (Linux, AIX, HP-UX Itanium and Solaris) Post Install          [Document 437696.1]
How to Setup DG4SYBS (Database Gateway for Sybase) on a 64bit Windows          [Document 1319852.1]
4)what more convenient, connect sybase from Oracle Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Gateway?
It really depends on your needs. DG4SYBS is surly easier to install as this gateway comes with everything you need and you do not have to find a suitable ODBC driver nor get the ODBC driver working. It is also more powerful as you can for example use triggers that replicate data changes in an Oracle database to the Sybase database within the same transaction. When you want to call Sybase stored procedures you can also do that with DG4SYBS. So it really depends on your needs.

Oracle XE database and Forms 6i - licensing / pricing

Hello there,
I have been researching how Oracle Forms can connect to a "currently supported" Oracle Database. I have found (from several other great posts), that Oracle Forms 6i (patch 18) will be able to connect to Oracle Database Express Edition (by changing the character set values).
Knowing that, what would I need to do in order to get the "proper" licensing of the two products:
(1) Oracle Database Express Edition - I believe is free (as long as we stay below the 4GB maximum), and
(2) Oracle Forms and Reports 6i
I already have the Forms and Reports builder and runtimes. I just want to make sure I have the correct and necessary licenses.
Any information / insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

This is all verified by OPN and Oracle Sales folks :
Only the "client/server" runtime for 6i is free. If you are going to deploy your forms via the web, then the 6i runtime is NOT free. So lets make it clear.
Now, you can not purchase Forms 6i (obsolete product) - what you need to do is to purchase an iDS license - but download and use the Forms 6i developer. If you developed a client/server application with Forms 6i, then the c/s runtime is free.
If your application that you developed with Forms 6i is deployed via the web, then you need to purchase Oracle Forms/Reports deployment option license for the iAS 10gR2 or FMW 11g (which is available now). If you are planning to use SSO, Discoverer etc then you need to obtain a full stack license for the iAS 10gR2 (Enterprise Edition)
You can NOT have less then 5 named user plus license for the SE1. Be careful with the named user plus licenses - read the definition very carefully. The license is multiplexed at the front end and automated processes such as a cron job is also considered as a named user. For a business application you might want to consider using CPU based license for the SE1. For the SE and SE1, it is socket based - the processor count does not apply as it is for the EE version (unless you are using a MCM chip such as Power 5 for your Oracle box - that is a different story. MCM chips are considered differently.)
You can start with 6i client/server type application and XE - but explain the limitations to your end user (customer/s). They need to know that it is not a certified combination (if you are using 6i+ps18 against a db which 10gR2 and higher (including XE)) - and they need to understand the consequences. They also need to understand that when the db size grows - they need to upgrade to SE1 (or SE - depending on their business at that time).
I hope this is clear - when it comes to licensing - people might make mistakes. You can become an Oracle Partner Network member (basic level) for around 2K $ if it is approved by Oracle Corp. and then you can opt to directly work with Oracle or another reseller Partner. To become and ISV, there are documents you need to read on OPN and sign if you agree. The details are in those documents.
Note: you can also used "Term Based" licenses - which can help you to reduce your or your customer's licensing cost - depending on the project. See the Oracle Store (online) and read the licensing terms (OLSA) for the term based licenses. Sometimes it is better using a term based license with the processor license (SE1 for example) instead of using XE - if the data will grow quickly in a short period time or if you can not easily assign/determine named users.
Hope this helps.

Oracle ODP Support and ODP vs DEVART

Hello,
I work with some vendor software that uses the ODP driver for it's .net application to talk to oracle. In there next release they are discontinuing ODP support claiming that oracle has chosen to no longer support this driver. The vendor is instead pushing us to use this [ devart|http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/oracle/] as a work around and they claim this should give us equal or better performance.
My questions are:
1. Is oracle really not supporting the ODP driver in the future (I couldn't find any indication of this on the web)
2. What is the trade of between using the ODP driver or the direct DEVart connection? I would appreciate if you could share your similar experiences with me.
Thanks,
Daxter

I'm an Oracle .NET product manager, so I am coming from a biased perspective.
With that said, ODP.NET has a number of performance/availability features that DevArt doesn't have: RAC connection pooling (i.e. load balancing, Fast Connection Failover), statement caching, self-tuning, and promotable transactions. DevArt has features that ODP.NET doesn't have as well.
Which provider one chooses often depends on how important each unique feature is to the customer. ODP.NET is by far the most popular Oracle .NET provider, not just due to its wide feature support, but due to a number of business reasons customers find important:
1) ODP.NET licenses and support costs are already included in the price of the Oracle DB. There is no extra charge.
2) There is one support organization to deal with. Thus, the logistics of resolving and coordinating complex service requests is easier.
3) Oracle is large multinational company. Oracle is going to be around a long time to continue to develop and support ODP.NET. DevArt is small privately-held company based in the Ukraine. Not much information is available about the company's financials. What happens if the company goes bankrupt or is sold and the new owners discontinue the Oracle provider?
4) ODP.NET is very popular. Thus, Oracle will support and improve it for a long time. It's not known how popular or financially viable DevArt's Oracle provider is for them.
5) If you need to work closely with Oracle, you can call, visit a branch office around the world, or even have Oracle come on-site. DevArt's support is email only. They do not list a single phone number or office address on their website.
6) As the most popular Oracle .NET provider available, ODP.NET is very stable, as it is being used a in wide variety of applications.

Would like to ask about Pros&Cons betwwen Oracle Forms, OAF and ADF

Hi,
Is there some material about the pros&cons between Oracle Forms, OAF and ADF, from angles like technical architecture, performance, network efficiency, etc...
Asking this becuase EBS cusotmer is familiar with Oracle Forms and OAF, when we talking about ADF to them, it is quite confused especially about OAF and ADF, finding material to elaborate these 3 technology clearly, thanks
- Liang Yi

Thanks, I check the comparison of OAF and ADF document downloaded from Oracle Support, but it is for ADF10g, I believe ADF11g is much better, and anyone check the comparison table between ADF 10g and OAF R12 would choose OAF.
And, from the document, I saw one line that is very confused, check it out, do not understand what does it mean with "if your application does not need to integrate with EBS... ... you should use ... ... integration with EBS" -_-!
"If your application does not need to integrate with the
E-Business Suite, or doesn't require any of the E-Business Suite-specific
capabilities enumerated above, you should use ADF 10g with SOA based
integration with E-Business Suite."
