OS/HARDWARE/SAN CHOICE FOR NEW ORACLE 10G INSTALL

I know pieces of this post have been asked in different ways so I will be as concise as possible.
We are loolking to implement an ERP in our company using Oracle Apps or SAP with Oracle 10G as the databse. We are a windows shop but will be hiring a Unix admin and DB admin for the ERP.
Our DB is currently only about 400 gig and our transaction volume is fairly low with 100 users and only accounting type transactions.
The current dilemma is what combo of hardware/os/san to use to optimize ease of administration, scalability and failover.
We are considering Redhat/Dell using a netapp san. One of our consultants favors a IBM solution front to back with p servers/IBM storage and aix.
Several questions....
1. Any advantage to AIX or HPUX over Redhat anymore ?
2. Any advantage to IBM and HP over Dell for our needs and transaction volume ?
3. RAC or just enterprise oracle ?
4. Netapp san or EMC, HP, IBM etc
4. Dataguard or Netapp snapshot etc for uptime (or both)?
5. Any opinions on using 1 NETAPP SAN for both oracle db data and windows user data ?
I am looking for opinions, places to research or anyone who has used this config in a ERP for a mid to large sized company to chime in, please.......!!!

hi
can u give me clear view about which password u talking here.
if u talking about ORACLE password u want to change u can..

OS-Authentication for a Oracle 10g Express Edition

I want to use OS-Authentication for an Oracle 10g Express Edition. What value must be set in sqlnet.ora ? Where are the possible authentcation modes described ? I only found the description KERBEROS5.
I tryed the value all, but with all no connect is possible.
Tanks for help
Josef Springer

Thanks for your link.
A special username with prefix is needed. This user must be created for external authentication. This user must be known by the OS. Am i right ?
>Right.
>
As i understand, to login with OS-Authentication i need a new windows user. This is not usable, because my users have their login and do not want to use another, when working with the database.
Is there another way to use OS-Authentication ?As far as I know, this is not possible especially with Oracle XE which has not all features of Entreprise Edition.
>
Must the prefix be used in any case ?

Road map for HRMS consultant for new oracle guy, please help

road map for Oracle HRMS consultant for new oracle guy, please help

Hi,
If you go through the Oracle sites you will come to know that HRMS Suite has various modules like Core HR, SSHR, Performance Management, Learning Management, iRecruitment, Compensation workbench, Absence Management, Payroll, Advanced Benefits etc.
You will have to start with understanding the Core HR concepts which is the base of the entire HRMS suite where you define the core structures like Organizations, Job, Position, Grade, Costing, Hierarchies, Employee data etc and which forms the base of the other modules.
Post you are done with Core HR you can start understanding the Self Service functionality and Approval Management Engine.
If you are clear with these two modules, then you can pick any other module as per your Job requirement demands.
You can do this all if you have an instance to access where you can do hands-on. In absence of which learning will be not be easy. On apps2fusion site which I have already mentioned you can view the training calendar and check for any relevant courses if you want to under go training as the quality of training is very good.
Training is not a mandate and you can learn it without training also if you have the dedication and time by understand each and every action which you are performing in application and the impact of it.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Sanjay

MOVED: Best choice for new RAM on nForce SLI Platinum

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
Best choice for new RAM on nForce SLI Platinum

Quote from: dmostert on 06-April-05, 17:39:39
OK,
So it would then seem that going for the tighter PC3200 RAM is better that going for the more relaxed PC4000 RAM
It would also seem that the Corsair is a slightly better buy than the Kingston In general, which overclocks better Corsair or Kingston?
Thanks,
D.
Kingstone have a reputation for producing faster compatible memory to replace that found in HP, compaq's etc. Corsair do have a reputation for producing memory for overlockers. Note that dosn't mean memory which overlclocks, it means memory which overlockers can use to push the FSB harder and overlock the CPU.
This is really not a problem for AMD64 users. P4 systems have a poor memory peroformance, and hate running asych. You can push an AMD64 by running the memory asynch without noticing from my expericnace testing my system.
My current system is running at 305 FSB, 1/180 devisor for 275mhz. Everest benchmarks my latency at 43ns, read speed 7300mb/s, write speed 2800mb/s.

Running Oracle 9i client code against an Oracle 10g install on PC

On Unix I am able to run Oracle 9i client code against an Oracle 10g install by setting ORACLE_HOME to the Oracle 10g install location and then creating a symbolic link (example: ln -fs libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so.9.0).
On PC (in particular XP SP2) I want to do something similar without using "junctions" or "junction points". Is there a way to set an environment variable or ini file to have my 9i client code point to the right libraries? I keep getting an error saying that my client code will not run due to "orasql9.dll" not being found. The "orasql10.dll" is installed on my machine.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

You might want to check metalink doc,
Client / Server / Interoperability Support Between Different Oracle Versions
Doc ID: Note:207303.1
Even your application built on 9i, doesn't mean it will not work with 10g database. From what I can see, running 9i executable under 10g installation to create mixed blood breed will do more harm than good. Not only it's not supported but also the outcome is unpredictable.

What Are the Tables in new oracle 10g express

Making new oracle 10g cluster in redhat enterprise linux

Hy All
i have installed redhat enterprise server in 2 systems and both are attached with SANE network storage. i want to configure oracle 10 g clustering with this setup.
should i have to configure clustering in linux only or there is a feature of clustering in oracle?
if yes than how to do that? i dont have any idea about oracle
please somebody help me
with regards,
ali

Hi Ali!
Hardware clustering is differnet from Oracle clustering.
If you have the database you should investigate RAC http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/to_toc?pathname=rac.102%2Fb14197%2Ftoc.htm&remark=portal+%28Administration%29
For the Application Server have a look at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_18/core.1012/b14003/toc.htm
Hardware clustering with RedHat could be achieved with Piranha.

Need help for importing oracle 10G dump into 9i database

hi, Someone help me to import oracle 10G dump into 9i database. I'm studying oracle . Im using oracle 10G developer suite(downloaded from oracle) and oracle 9i database. I saw some threads tat we can't import the higher version dumps into lower version database. But i'm badly need help for importing the dump...
or
someone please tell me the site to download oracle 9i Developer suite as i can't find it in oracle site...

I didnt testet it to import a dump out of a 10g instance into a 9i instance if this export has been done using a 10g environment.
But it is possible to perform an export with a 9i environment against a 10g instance.
I am just testing this with a 9.2.0.8 environment against a 10.2.0.4.0 instance and is working so far.
The system raises an EXP-00008 / ORA-37002 error after exporting the data segments (exporting post-schema procedural objects and actions).
I am not sure if it is possible to perform an import to a 9i instance with this dump but maybe worth to give it a try.
It should potentially be possible to export at least 9i compatible objects/segments with this approach.
However, I have my doubts if this stunt is supported by oracle ...

Pga_aggregate_target & db_cache_size for an Oracle 10g Datawarehouse env

We have an Oracle 10g Datawarehousing environment , with roughly 180 GB odd data running on 3 - node RAC
with 16 GB RAM & 4 CPUs each and roughly we have 200 users and night jobs running on this D/W .
We find that query performance of all ETL Processes & joins are quite slow .Certain packages take 35 min . or so to get executed.
How much should we modify the value of pga_aggregate_target & db_cache_size parameter for this Datawarehouse environment ? This is a Production database, with Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.5.0.
We use OWB 10g Tool for this D/W.
Current PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET is 8589934592, whereas db_cache_size is
1073741824
Please suggest ,
Thanks a lot in advance ,

It is not clear what is meant by term "packages" in this context - i.e. are these PL/SQL packages or some other bunch of pl/sql statements or whatever else, but simply blindly changing init parameters you won't get anything good in a predictable future.
You have to find WHAT is slow and tune that, it might very well be that it has nothing to do with pga_aggregate_target or another init parameters.
Optimizing Oracle Performance by Cary Millsap and Jeff Holt can be the gretest help in this case.
You can also look at his website www.hotsos.com, it has many whitepapers that can help you if you haven't the book.
I for example see " 3 - node RAC" in your post and that makes me suspicious because if you are running batch jobs reading/writing the same data on all 3 nodes simultaneously, then the problem might be data pinging among nodes. BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, as well as you don't know, so the only predictable scenario is to get to know what is the reason.

Patch Requirements for Building Oracle 10g on Solaris 10

Hi,
I am about to install Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2 on Solaris 10 (Sparc). I have looked at the Oracle docs pertaining to this process and they seem to indicate that I need to apply a few patches to solaris. I know that sun currently charge for their updates and I was just wondering what service plan I should purchase in order to get access to the appropriate patches. Would the basic service plan be sufficient? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
-Harry

Well.. For oracle its normally enough with a recommended cluster, which can be found free of charge at:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access
Quite many patches can still be downloadable even without a contract. Even if you will see more infodoc and bugreports with a contract..

Free web hosting for PHP Oracle 10g XE applications

Hi guys
I am a student currently completing my final year project of a BSc Information Systems / Computer Science programme. I am using PHP and Oracle 10g XE and I was hoping that someone could advise me on a good web hosting site for student applications that is available at no cost, since I can't afford to pay for hosting. It is important that I host my site because my university tutor (in the UK) needs to access my site and provide feedback at this point in the project. Any assistance will be very much appreciated.

Just to let everyone know, i will do free hosting for students needing it for there projects, i will need an academic email address for corespodence, so thats a .edu or .ac.uk for example.
I have just relaunched the website and slashed my prices, so starter packages are from 2.99 a month for oracle and php. www.phporaclehosting.com
Any questions reply to this thread

How to know whether my oracle 10g instalation in unicode supported or not

Hi
i am new to oracle. I have installed Oracle 10g client and server.
I want to know whether the database created can store unicode data/arabic data.
Please guide me how can i find whether unicode support is on for my db or not.
The outputs of some of the queries run by me are as follows:
SQL> HOST ECHO $NLS_LANG;
$NLS_LANG
SQL> HOST ECHO %NLS_LANG%;
%NLS_LANG%
SQL> @.[%NLS_LANG%];
SP2-0310: unable to open file ".[AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252]"
SQL> select cust_eng_name,cust_arb_name from custmast;
select cust_eng_name,cust_arb_name from custmast
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Please reply me asap.

user10817093 wrote:
1. Yeh that is the thing I want. What are the other steps that i need to do with my Oracle Client/Server for unicode support.
Where i am getting trouble is the Oracle Client/Server unicode support.
And how to decide what character set will suite me best.1. If your application is going to be a "true" Unicode application, you can set the NLS_LANG registry/environment setting on your clients to ".UTF8" to enable true Unicode support.
2. Your database needs to support Unicode, too.
The recommended database character set for this in 10g is "AL32UTF8".
If you currently have a single-byte database character set (WE8MSWIN1252), you need to decide how to get this done.
If you can simply create a new database using the "AL32UTF8" character set, this would be the easiest way.
There are several documents available (e.g. on Oracle MetaLink) that describe in detail how to convert the character set of an existing database. Depending on your data this can be a tedious task involving several steps, so may be creating a new database and exporting/importing the data might be the simplest choice if you need to migrate some existing data.
The recommended national character set is "AL16UTF16", by the way, but that shouldn't matter that much once you have a Unicode enabled database using "AL32UTF8" as database character set.
2. How to set/retrive the "Database Character Set" and "National Character Set". This has already been answered partly. Retrieve:
Database Character Set:
SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET';National Character Set:
SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER = 'NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET';In most of the cases you can't just simply set/alter the character sets, as outlined above.

Oracle 10g install using storage array

Hello,
If I was to install Oracle 10g DB on a RH Linux server could I use a storage array
for all my dbf, logs, control files etc ?
Thanks.

If by storage array you mean SAN or NAS yes.
My recommendation, however, would be to put one control file on local disk.I hope the OP doesn't read that as a recommendation to have only one control file! ;-)
Better:
