Oracle8 and oracle9i on same server?

Hello Ora-GURUs,
I have Oracle8 Release 8.0.4.0.0 - Production database running on windows2000 server. I want to install Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production database on the same server. Is it possible to have both versions running on the same server? if yes then how (just brief)?
Thanks in advance...

A few concerns
1) Oracle 8.0.4 was never supported on Windows 2000.
2) Oracle 8.0.4 was not multi-home compatible, so there is no guarantee that installing a new database version won't affect your existing install.
3) Oracle 8.0.4 was desupported about 6 and a half years ago and wasn't even the terminal patchset for the 8.0.x line. Why are you using such an ancient version of the database?
I would be grateful that a production database was even running on an operating system it was never designed for or tested on and wouldn't attempt to install anything else. I would seriously investigate ways to upgrade the 8.0.4 database at least to 8.0.6 but realistically to something that is still supported like 9.2 or even 10.2.

Oracle8i and Oracle9i with BWLS5.1

Hi, I need help!!!
I ve a Oracle8i and an Oracle9i connection pools in WLS 5.1
The Oracle9i connection pool is not stable, and have been told to upgrad the drivers for it. I wonder if there is any problem use connection pool to an Oracle8i and Oracle9i, without any conflicts.
Can WLS5.1 handle it? how should I do ?
Pleaaaase!
regards / John Cokoulo

Hi Sree,
Sorry, I was wrong, I found the JDBC drivers for the Oracle9i.
The JDBC pack contains the OCI and Thin drivers.
Thanks alot.
best regards, John.

I was looking for Oracle 9i Thin driver, but could not find any!
The only I could find was Oracle 9i thin JDBC driver for Mac OS X.
and thanks again for your help.

Hi John,
WebLogic jDriver for Oracle 9i is not available for WLS5.1. Its only
available for WLS6.1SP2 and above.
I suggest you use the Oracle thin driver from Oracle to connect to the
9i
database.
when you download and install the 9i thin driver, the connection pool
can be
configured as,
weblogic.jdbc.connectionPool.O9iPool=\
url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@9imachinename:port:SID,\
driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver,\
loginDelaySecs=1,\
initialCapacity=5,\
maxCapacity=12,\
capacityIncrement=2,\
allowShrinking=true,\
shrinkPeriodMins=15,\
refreshMinutes=12,\
props=user=o9iusr;password=o9ipwd;weblogic.oci.min_bind_size=660
You cannot use two different OCI drivers at the same time to create
Connection pools in a single server.

Hi,
I dont know exactly what driver we use, but I know that the same driver
is
in
use for bothe 8i and 9i. And I know that the driver is old, (from 2000).
The behavior is that connection duo the 9i are rollin back sometimes,
about
30%
of all transactions are rolling back.
Thats why I ve been told to use newer drivers (9i drivers).
So, yes, I see exceptions, roll back exceptions of the transactionsthat
are
trying
to connect to the database pool.
But I wonder how to do that, and how can I see exactly what driver
we
use
now?
Please help me!!!!

John,
What driver are you using to connect to 8i and 9i? What is the behavior
you
are seeing with the pool connections, when you say pool is not stable?
do
you see any exceptions/hangs ?
Also ensure that you have testConnsOnReserve=true (on the 9i pool)
so
that
the connections get recreated if they go bad.

XA : Oracle8 and Oracle9

I using Tuxedo8.0 ..and I need to use XA with both Oracle8 and Oracle9...
This time is using only Oracle8, Two-Phase commit, and next year we have to join
with Oracle9.
Then I would like to know Can I use XA across Oracle8 and Oracle9...
What is RM file for Oracle9?
Regards,
Yos

Hello Yos,
XA transactions can span multiple RDBMSes... There may be limitations/problems
as every RDBMS has a different implementation and hence do not work the same way.
The base rule is: You can definitely have a single XA transaction across Oracle,
Informix and DB2. So, your scenario of XA transactions across Oracle 8 and 9 databases
should work..
For RM file entry, please refer Oracle/Tuxedo documentations. Oracle 8.x RM file
entry may also work fine with Oracle 9.x. Just give it a try.

6.5 and XIR2 on same server

Can we have 6.5 and XIR2 on same server
I mean like there are set of users who access 6.5
and some for XIR2
Will be there any problem if we have 2 different versions of BO on same server
Thanks in advance

With UNIX, it's actually quite easy to install different deployments across you server.
Windows is a different story. In theory, you can probably resolve port conflicts and get the installation running. But in practice, it makes things much more difficult to troubleshoot, so I wouldn't recommend it. Even if you resolve port conflicts, you'd have to decide what to do with shared components such as Web and App servers. Also, there might be confusion around client applications.
If your server is big enough, consider using VMWare and running each on separate images.

Is it OK to install BW and BO in same server

Is it OK to install BW and BO in same server ?
BW 3.5
BO XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.9
Is there any known issue in this approach ?
What is the recommended system requirement for it ?

I would do it only if it is on Unix and the H/W is powerful enough.
Keep in mind that when you shutdown/reboot you are taking offline 2 systems at once.
In 64bit Windows there are conflicting versions of the required rfc libraries (32bit and 64bit) which are not easy to resolve and will affect the MDX parser.

BOE XI 3.1 and CE9 on same server

Hi,
During a migration from Crystal Enterprise 9 to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 I will be installing XI 3.1 on the same server as CE9 prior to importing the data. During a test run I found that they seem to use the same ports and as a result the second installation (BOE XI 3.1) is unusable. I was surprised that the install wizard didn't pick this up. When I say unusable, I was unable to connect to the CmcApp and was unable to access the Server Configuration from within the CCM.
Question: Is this a known issue and is there a known work around?
I've searched the SAP Support area and this forum but have so far been unsuccessful in identifying similar postings. I am currently uninstalling BOE XI 3.1 so I can reinstall using different port numbers.
Thanks,
Mike

The reinstall using different ports resolved the issue, but it also left CE9 in an unusable state. Apparently I need to find a document named "Crystal Enterprise: Troubleshooting a Communication Error" as this talks me through the problems. I found it the other day, but I can't find it now.
Anyway, the solution was to ensure that when installing BOE XI 3.1 that you select different port numbers to those set by default to avoid conflict with previous installations.

Php and asp on same server?

Just a quicky?
Can I run both php and asp on the same server?
Some one has a website produced using asp (don't know a thing about that language) but I'd like to use the server it's on and redo some of the stuff using php just retaining a few pages which use asp, possible or not?
Cheers

Hi
Yes, you can do this, (just not on the same page). I would recommend checking with your server provider first though.
PZ
Sounds promising:)
Nope, I don't want to mix and match on the same page. There's a couple of pages that I probably don't have the experience to do so I can just give them a visual makeover but retain the asp part.
Thanks

8i and 9i on same server?

Forgive me if this has been asked before, or if this is a really stupid question.
Is it possible to run both an 8i database and a 9i database on the same server? I'm thinking about trying separate Oracle homes to accomplish this, but I wanted to know if anyone has tried this, if there's a better way, or if it is even possible.
Thanks,

Just make 2 seperate oracle home
with each one having its respective oracle version
and it will indeed run

Server 2008R2 and Exchange on Same server

Hello Everyone,
I have taken over the IT Department for a small County Government and have found that the prior contractor installed Exchange 2010 on the same server that is running Active Directory. This machine is also acting as the DC. I would really appreciate any help
in figuring out which one will be easier to move. I am planning on ordering a new server but it will have Server 2012 on it. I am looking for any help and instructions of which one would be the best to move and what is the best way to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
once a DC has Exchange installed demoting this DC is NOT SUPPORTED operation!!!
First you MUST move Exchange to another machine. Therefore ask the Exchange experts in the already mentioned forum.

CF11 and CF8 on same server.

Hi,
I need to install cf11 on the same windows 2008 server as an existing cf8 install.
I realise it would be better to have 2 servers but in this case thats not an option open to us so I need specific help with the 2 installs.
The current CF8 is using IIS7.
I have done a bit of spade work and I believe the best way to do this cleanly would be to install a 2nd web server, e.g apache on windows and then configure it with CF11.
I had hoped that I could actually install CF11 and just configure specific iis sites with it, hoping this would leave the cf8 configured sites intact.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you have 2 webistes, one you want to run with ColdFusion 8 and other you want to run with ColdFusion 11 on the same server then yes it is possible. However, two different versions of ColdFusion cannot server same website in the same server.
Launch the Web Server Configuration tool of CF8 and if CF 8 is configured with ALL IIS websites, then remove the connector for all and add the website/websites one by one which you want to run with ColdFusion 8.
Now, go ahead and install ColdFusion 11 and in the "Configure Web Server" Window choose the website that you want to run with CF 11
NOTE : Two most important points to remember :
1. Do not remove the CF 8 connector if it is a production server
2. Do not choose All with CF 8/ CF 11 under IIS Website, because if you choose ALL then all the websites under IIS will be configured with that version of CF.

9i and 10g on same server (Win 2000) - only use one a time.

I am working on setting up an oracle server for testing purposes and wonder if it is possible to install 9i and 10g on the same server (Win 2000) without any conflicts? Only one would be used at a time.
Thanks,
Luke

Yes. It is possible to have multiple version in windows. However, it is little tricky compare to unix environment.
You can comfortably execute respective versions(9i and 10g) GUI interfaces. But you may have issue when you try to execute binaries from command prompt. Each Oracle installation will keep appending the environment variables(path, etc). You can have batch file for each version and execute it.
GUI interfaces controled by windows registry. Each version will have separte registry entry with necessary variables.

I want to install DEV and QAS on same Server

Hello all,
Can anybody tell the step by step procedure to install dev and qas on the same server, i have installed Dev with win 03 server and oracle as a DB.
Now what to do? please provide some document or note to do this.
I am waiting for ur reply, its urgent....
Jitender

Hello Mr.X,
SAP suggests that even for a single system installation data files,redo log files and back up of log files should be placed on different hard disks. So it makes sense to do the same for different instances as well. Going to ORA_HOME you need mutiple ORA_HOME.
For mutiple ORA_HOME please check this link :
http://www.lc.leidenuniv.nl/awcourse/oracle/em.920/a96697/moh.htm.
System number definitely have to be different. System number will also influence the ports.
Also check the SAP installation guide for installation of 4:6C on unix/oracle platform. It discusses this mutiple database instance concept. Other higher release installation guides also do that.
Please award points for useful answers.
Regards.

Need to install CRM and ECC in same server

Hi Experts,
I want to install CRM and ECC server in a single server. (Win2003/MS SQL server)
I think we need more space (Sizing).
Apart from this, i have couple fo questions in my mind..
1,Which server should i install first.?
2,Does it use the same Database for both servers (CRM and ECC) installation?
3,I know that SID is differ for both server, does it use the same kernel for Both.
4, What are the dependent and independent files ?
5, How the database wil behave when i stop/start one server ?
Could someone help me the stpes.
Thanks and regards
Thirumal

1,Which server should i install first.?
Doesn't make any difference... you can start with either of them
2,Does it use the same Database for both servers (CRM and ECC) installation?
Yes, It will create separate instances on the DB.
3,I know that SID is differ for both server, does it use the same kernel for Both.
No.. they'll have separate kernel directories.
4, What are the dependent and independent files ?
Files will be all independant, beside the hosts and services files.. but sap wise everything should be under different SID's (as far as i remember)
5, How the database wil behave when i stop/start one server ?
You have to be carefull with this one... if you stop the DB it will affect both systems... so when stopping the system make sure you use stopsap/startsap r3

Recover during systemcopy between Oracle8 and Oracle9

Hello!
This is my first question in a forum, therefore sorry for mistakes.
We perform a systemcopy from Oracle8 to Oracle9. If we use a Offline-Backup there is no problem. After the restore we migrate the databse to Oracle9 and everything is ok
Now we try to use a Online-Backup for this. The restore is no problem but the recovery of the database end with following error:

Hello!
I don't think so. Because i got this message for every log since 89797. Every try to recover the database i got this message for the next log.
It is possible to recover a Oracle8-Databse to a Oracle9 Database during systemcopy?
