Oracle XE Now Productionalized

I'm relatively new with using XE. Although using Enterprise 10g etc for a time, I found the instructions for migrating from XE beta difficult to follow. Especially backing up schemas etc using the Oracle Database tools, export etc.
Does anyone know of a good site that has instructions on how to migrate across from the betato the production XE.

Xenon

I would exp the whole database and build a fresh XE prod and imp the whole database back to the fresh XE. That's probably the easiest way regarding the size of the data, the number of the tablespace. If there are tablespaces besides the built-in ones, and too many data files, then treat the data files as backup and do a recovery with the fresh XE production version, still simpler than update the beta.
Fresh production version, no beta update (my preference).

How to integrate Oracle Right Now with our application Calling Button and Chat Button. Application is on WebCenter Sites

Thanks handar. As per your instructions I have tried OAM authorization policy and its working fine. But we also wants to check the same with OES also. Currently I have configure weblogic SM and created domain. In same domain I have deployed my application also. I have created application, resources and authorization policy to authorize /myfolder/index.jsp if user has some specific role. Now if I try to access my web application using http://host:8001/CONTEXT/myfolder/index.jsp, it doesn't check if user is authorized or not. I guess my application is not related to the resource I have created. Please help me with this. Also, let me know if we can retirive logged in user from session and use for authorization.

Uninstalled Oracle XE, now can't reinstall. Any suggestions?

I have been working for some time with Oracle Express,, installed on Windows Vista (yes, I know. You have to go with what you have available). Unfortunately it got into an odd state (tablespaces I couldn't remove) so I decided to uninstall and reinstall. I used the uninstaller, but it left a lot of files and other things on the system. I deleted these by hand, but now can't reinstall; the installer tells me I already have an instance on the system, and it can't proceed. I have:
- cleaned all Oracle-related entries out of the registry, with the exception of items that appear to belong to Microsoft (start with microsoft or x86-microsoft)
- removed all files that seem remotely oracle-related
- cleaned all entries out of the start menu
- cleaned all entries out of the environment variables
Has anyone come across this problem? Is there a solution? Or am I going to have to blow away the contents of my hard drive and start again. (In which case I would perhaps go to Windows 7 and run XE on a virtual machine, as recommended elsewhere.)
Thanks for any help!

I followed all the steps, and it didn't help. Thanks, anyway.
After a (very inconvenient) period of working with a remote database, I now have time to get back to this issue.
I had been trying to install the Western European edition (smaller); I tried downloading the universal edition, and running this installer got me past the original error message. Unfortunately the installation still fails, but later, which is progress of a sort. The error is now:
"Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid. C:\Users\
MYNAME~1\AppData\Local\Temp\ _is342C\1033.MST"
A colleague thinks that this is because some transform data was left in the registry by my failed uninstall, and needs to be cleaned out. I had the install output a verbose log, and he's looking at it.
Ideas are still welcome.
One other thing: now when I try to run the Western European installer, it fails at the new, later place. I can only assume that the universal edition installer cleaned up whatever was causing the original error.

Conversion of Mysql query in oracle acceptable query format

Hi
I have successfully converted my MySql database in oracle. Now the problem is how to execute already written hundreds of Mysql query on the oracle. There are many syntax variation in Mysql query format which is not acceptable for oracle.
For Example
Select case_id as 'this is alias' from cases
The above query can run on Mysql database but have problem while executing Oracle, because single quotes should be replaced with double quotes before executing it on oracle. There are also many other syntax conflicts.
I have tried to resolve the problem through SwisSQLAPI but problem still exist as SwisSQLAPI is not dealing with all syntax conflict. In my case (select if (expresion, true,false)) must be replace with decode (expression, value,true,false) function of oracle and this conversion is not supported by SwisSQLAPI.
Please help me in resolving this problem
Thanks

The problem with trying to port from one language (mysql SQL) to another (oracle SQL) is that there's generally no hard rules for a computer to follow, that it will get it 100% correct.
Look at babelfish when you translate a foreign language to English. The end result is readable (usually), but it's rarely completely correct.
The problem is when you feed something into Oracle SQL, it needs to be 100% correct.
All you can really do here is rewrite these queries. It shouldn't actually take as long as you think, because 50% of queries will generally need very minor changes you can do in a minute, and 25% won't need any changes at all.

but in the installation guide, The exact java version to be maintained to proceed with the Solman Installation 7.1 SR1 is not mentioned anywhere.
4)If we install the Java 1.6, do we need to start Solman installation from the scratch . Any reboot required after installing java 1.6?
5)Because of the inconsistencies in java version in our System, The installation shows the Error " Import directory does not exist "?
6)Please tel the cause of the Error
Kindly assist to proceed with the installation

Hello Gayathri
The import_monitor.java.log says the JRE used is 1.6 - java version "1.6.0_45"
There must be multiple JRE's installed on the system.
Run the below command and check the output
ls -lad /usr/java*
Few things I would try.
Is the '/cddumps/Solman_Export_Cds/51042607_1/DATA_UNITS/EXP1' an NFS mount ? If yes use a local file system.
Create a directory called /SMINSTALL and move all from /cddumps/Solman_Export_Cds
It should look like /SMINSTALL/51042607_1/DATA_UNITS/EXP1
Start the installation.
Try to use Java 1.4 or 1.5 and see if that helps.
You need to set the environment variable JAVA_HOME before starting the installation.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java14_64/jre
Are there any files/directories under 51042607_*/DATA_UNITS/EXP* ?
Regards

Confusion with a current state of Oracle Identity Management

I would like to know if anyone has successfully implemented the complete suite of IdM. If yes, please share this experience. I want to clarify the definition of "successful integration". It should include the following:
- SSO for Partner applications
- SSO for External (third parties) applications
- Provisioning and Synchronization
- Delegated Administration
- WNA with Kerberos
- SAML implementation (optional)
I would appreciate all answers on this subject

To restart from your initial question, it's quite strange because the components you mention are all included in the AS10g Enterprise Edition or in AS10g Portal, and are perfectly integrated. I know numerous customers which use Oracle Portal, for instance, and leverage on SSO (patner or external), Delegated Administration (DAS) , Synchro with AD server and Windows native authentication, without a single line of specific code. Provisioning is done automatically by DIP in the case of Portal with AD, as well, or with a Human resource system. Even the password synchro can be made betwwen AD and OID (Oracle LDAP)
Now, it's a sligthy different discussion if we consider the recent acquisitions made by Oracle, and which are sold in the so call : Oracle Identity management 10g.
OAM (previously Oblix) is a more ambitious product that Oracle SSO.
OIM (provisioning and identity management) is far more sophisticated than Oracle DIP.
The goal, for Oracle, is to unify the workflow engine and the Human interface (with ADF). This task is probably on the rails for the next year.
OVD (previously OctetSting) is an architectural component which allow virtualisation of LDAP server.
About Federation, OIF allow all existing Oracle Portal customer (using SSO) to rely on SAML tokens in order to trust partners site.
So, in my opinion, acquisitions oblige to make a substantial effort to unify human interface and make arbitration between some concepts, but it's within the Oracle means.

Limitation on SQL executing select statement from ADO and Oracle 8.1.7.1 OleDB Driver

Hi,
we are running a query with a big dunamic select statement from VB code using ADO command object. When Execute method is called system hangs and control won't return back to the application. it seems to be that there is some type limitation on Query string length. Please tell us if there is any?
we are running Oracle 8.1.7 Server on Windows 200 Server and connecting from a W2K professional, ADO 2.6 and Oracle OLEDB 8.1.7.1 OLEDB Driver.
Sample code:
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New Command
With cmd
.CommandText = ' some text with more than 2500 characters
.CommandType = adCmdText
Set rs = .Execute
End With
when i debug using VB6 and when .Execute line is called system hangs or return a message method <<somemethod> of <<some class name>> failed error.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anil

A stored procedure would only slow you down here if it was poorly written. I suspect you want to use the translate function. I'm cutting & pasting examples from the documentation-- a search at tahiti.oracle.com will give you all the info you'll need.
Examples
The following statement translates a license number. All letters 'ABC...Z' are translated to 'X' and all digits '012 . . . 9' are translated to '9':
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
'9999999999XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX') "License"
FROM DUAL;
License
9XXX999
The following statement returns a license number with the characters removed and the digits remaining:
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '0123456789')
"Translate example"
FROM DUAL;
Translate example
2229
Also, LIKE '%<string>%' is going to be rather expensive simply because it has to compare the entire string and because it forces full table scans, rather than using indexes. You could speed this sort of query up by using interMedia Text (Oracle Text now in 9i). If you can eliminate one of the '%' options, you could also improve things.
My guess is that your stored procedure is inefficient and that's causing the problem-- 5k rows per table should be pretty trivial.
If you post your query over on the PL/SQL forum, there are better performance tuners than I that might have more hints for you. To get really good advice, though, you'lllikely have to get at least the execution plan for this statement and may need to do some profiling to identify the problem areas.

Problem running Oracle Portal to Go (Oracle9i 1.0.2.0.0)

I have installed Oracle9i Application Server WE 1.0.2.0.0 Standard Edition on Windows2000 Professional Edition. I am getting problems regarding running Portal to Go.
The installer said that installation was successful. Moreover I have done the configuration tasks mentioned Oracle9i installation guide under post installation steps for Oracle9i.
But Oracle Portal to Go is not running and returning error message. Are there some other tasks still to perform to configure the Oracle Portal to Go Standard Edition?
Here it is a brief Description of what I have done with the installations process
System: Pentium II 500 MHZ with 256 MB RAM and 15 GB Hard Disk so enough space available for installations.
Windows 2000 professional was freshly installed
All pre installation tasks are done like paging file size is 896MB
Important Installation steps and points are as under (Standard Edition of Oracle 9i Application Server 1.0.2.0.0):
I followed all the steps given in Oracle 9i AS installation guide
On Windows 2000 Installer never asks for reboot before actually installing the Oracle 9i application server (Chapter 4 of installation guide: preparing system for installation: step5: page 5 of 25). So I manually reboot the system
During installation when I reached Database Access Descriptor (DAD) for Oracle Portal. In TNS connect string field for Apache listener Configuration I entered the same name (abc) (chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step2, 3: page 10,11 of 25) as I was going to use for my Global database name later at database Identification steps (chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step 4: page 12 of 25)
Note: In an other installation I left the same fields (TNS connect string) blank but of no use.
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
When installation of Oracle9i AS reaches 100% installer opens a command prompt and displays
ORA: 12541 TNS: No Listener
Enter user name:
When I enter SYSTEM as a user name it displays
Password:
I entered manager as password and then it displays
ORA 12560: TNSProtocol adaptor error
And once again it asks for user name and password
I once again enter system as a user and manager as password.
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
After 100% completion of the installation the configuration tools screen appears
(Chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step 10: page 17 of 25) and the following tasks are performed
Net8 configuration Assistant succeeds
Oracle database configuration assistant succeeds
When The Oracle portal 3.0 configuration Assistant Starts
I hold the installation steps for oracle portal for a while and do some database configuration tasks that are necessary (may be some are not) for installation of portal.
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
For example
Increase the table space size of Users (400 MB), and Temp (100MB) table spaces.
Validated invalid PL/SQL Modules with ULTRP.SQL script
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
Installed dbms_job.sql package as it was mentioned in another guide (Oracle portal-to-Go installation Guide- Release1.0.2: Page 1: last line)
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
Stopped the database and listener
And did some changes as was asked in Oracle portal-to-Go installation Guide- Release1.0.2
Edited the init<SID>.ora file and set the following fields
aq_tm_processes = 1
job_queue_processes = 4 (2 were recommended in guide but I left the already set values)
job_queue_interval = 30
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
Also I did the following too (though these are recommended for Internet file system)
opern_cursors = 300 (in installation guide it is asked 255 but I kept the already set value)
shared_pool_size = 52438800 (50M was suggested and this is more than that)
processes = 200
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
I started the database and listener
Proceeded the installation of Oracle Portal as is described in installation guide for Oracle 9i Application guide 1.0.2.0.0
And successfully completed the installation of Oracle Portal
There were no errors reported on the installer however when I read the installation log some errors were mentioned at the end of the file
Please see the attached log file.
I also completed all the post installation tasks at the end of chapter 4 of Oracle9i Application Server installation guide 1.0.2.0.0 except the configuration of Oracle Internet file system (is it necessary for running Oracle Portal to Go)
When I run the oracle portal to go the following situation is encountered
Working: http://localhost/pls/portal30/admin_/dadentries.htm
Error at: http://localhost/pls/portal30/portal30.home
Error: The preference path does not exist: Oracle.Portal.Page (WWC-51000)
(And this is the main source of confusion)
Working: http://localhost/pls/portal30/admin_/gateway.htm?schema=portal30
Working: http://et-wks-08:5555/invoke/wm.server.admin/adminPage
Are there any other guides and post installation steps still to follow to successfully run this Portal to Go or it is sufficient?
I can also send the installation logs of both Oracle 9i application server (installActions.log and installActions2001-05-28_03-50-56-PM.log) and Oracle portal to Go (install.log).
If you ask, I can send you the installation guides that I have followed and the screen shoots of the error messages for a detail review.
Moreover can anyone please tell me if this version of Oracle 9i Application server is ok or I must try some other version?
Also advise any other if any successful configuration and installation options.
Is it possible to run this portal to go with any other installation options/arrangements/configurations etc?
Any help from anyone will be highly appreciated.

How to do this in oracle ?

Hello,
from time to time i have to process two text-files that i receive from a 3rd party application. The "processing" is pretty simple, i only have to filter out some data with a sql query that is not complex at all. The filtered results have to be stored as a csv file on the harddisk.
So far i've been using MS Access for this but now i would like to switch this to oracle.
Now i was wondering if some of you can suggest me whats the best way of doing this. I would like to automate things as much as possible, for example just calling some stored procedure.
Would you use external tables rather than sqlloader to get access to the data in the text files ? Beside using the spool command to create the csv files are there better ways to write the flat file ?

One approach could be like this.
1. create an external table for each file separately. This would enable access to the two query with simple SQL.
2. Now you can do your "Processing" over the external table. Note that external tables are read only.
3. Once the processing is done then use UTL_FILE to create the new file you want in the server directory.
The advantage of using External Table and UTL_FILE is that they are part of oracle database. They are not external tools of oracle. But SQL Loader is an external tool and Spool is a SQL Plus feature which is again an external tool. So when you want to automate something using PL/SQL they wont be handy.
Thanks,
karthick.
