OWB at Linux 64 Bit Environment

Hi All,
Iam new to Linux Environment.
Our client is recently started updating OS from Windows to Linux.
I would like to open Design centre in Linux server remotely from my desktop. Could you please provide steps?
Regards,
Ava

Yes, you can run OWB client directly on the server.
If you have a linux workstation, you can run Xwindows applications on server, and have the application window displayed on client!!! It is called X forwarding, and this is a feature that Xwindows had for years.
Connect to your server using ssh with -X switch, eg.
[alex@alex]$ ssh -X oracle@myserver
once connected, go to the owb directory and run the client, which will display the application window on the CLIENT (your workstation), eg.
[oracle@myserver ~]$ cd /oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/owb/bin/unix/
[oracle@myserver unix]$ ./owbclient.sh
This way requires no additional installation on your machine, but OWB running over ssh can be a bit laggy. However, it is very usable. You can try to speed up the connection by using a cypher that is somewhat less CPU intensive, ie arcfour. The login would be then:
[alex@alex]$ ssh -c arcfour -X oracle@myserver
Keep in mind, that running OWB client on the sever this way requires 500MB to 1GB of RAM more on the server (the client application is executing there).
The other option to run OWB on an linux 64bit workstation is to install the OWB 64bit (if you want to run 11g you can install the complete database server software, which comes with OWB) and run it normally on your workstation. This effectively limits the distribution you can use to red-hat, centos or fedora.
I'm running OWB 10.2 64bit on my fedora 64bit workstation for 2 years without any problems. It may not be certified, but runs without a glitch.
Bye

Problem in OIM Installation in Linux-64 bit environment

Hi,
Components used
1. Oracle Database11gR1
2. Weblogic Application server 10.3.0(installed in non clustered mode)
3. OIM 9.1.0.1
Also ensured the above three are compatible.
I'm facing problem at the end of OIM installation in RedHat Linux-64 bit environment.
The error details in setup-weblogic.log file is given below
===================================
setup-startscript:
setup:
[echo] Setting up weblogic for xellerate complete.
[ant] Exiting /oracle/oimserver/xellerate/setup/weblogic-setup.xml.
BUILD FAILED
/oracle/oimserver/xellerate/setup/setup.xml:443: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/oracle/oimserver/xellerate/setup/weblogic-setup.xml:196: Could not create task or type of type: wlst.
Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.
This is common and has a number of causes; the usual
solutions are to read the manual pages then download and
install needed JAR files, or fix the build file:
- You have misspelt 'wlst'.
Fix: check your spelling.
- The task needs an external JAR file to execute
and this is not found at the right place in the classpath.
Fix: check the documentation for dependencies.
Fix: declare the task.
- The task is an Ant optional task and the JAR file and/or libraries
implementing the functionality were not found at the time you
yourself built your installation of Ant from the Ant sources.
Fix: Look in the ANT_HOME/lib for the 'ant-' JAR corresponding to the
task and make sure it contains more than merely a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.
If all it contains is the manifest, then rebuild Ant with the needed
libraries present in ${ant.home}/lib/optional/ , or alternatively,
download a pre-built release version from apache.org
- The build file was written for a later version of Ant
Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant
- The task is not an Ant core or optional task
and needs to be declared using <taskdef>.
- You are attempting to use a task defined using
<presetdef> or <macrodef> but have spelt wrong or not
defined it at the point of use
Remember that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implemented
in ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on the
classpath
Please neither file bug reports on this problem, nor email the
Ant mailing lists, until all of these causes have been explored,
as this is not an Ant bug.

Please help me to resolve this issue.
Did anyone face this issue before??????
Edited by: Katheresh on May 17, 2010 9:36 PM

I am not certain but when I was installing OIM 9.1.x with wls 10.3.0 on windows I had a failure too and it turned out I didn't create the wls domain user and group for OIM. The docs for OIM 9.1 does not talk about it so you may want to create this account and group and re-try the install. The steps are below:
Log in to the WebLogic Admin Console using your new account by pointing a web browser to the following url:
http://<hostname>:7001/console
1. Select Security, then Realms, then myrealm, and then Groups from the navigation panel on the left.
2. Select the Configure a new Group link in the Groups page.
3. Enter User for the group name in the Name field under the General tab and optionally enter a description for the group.Click Apply.
Note:
The group name User is case-sensitive.
4. Select Security, then Realms, then myrealm, and then Users from the navigation panel on the left.
5. Select the Configure a new User link in the Users page.
6. Enter Internal for the user name in the Name field under the General tab and optionally enter a description for the user.
Note:
The user name Internal is case-sensitive.
7. Enter and confirm a password associated with the user name Internal and click Apply.
8. Select the Groups tab.
9. Add the User group to the list of Current Groups for the Internal user by selecting User from the list of Possible Groups and clicking the --> right arrow button. Click Apply.
Please post back if it works,
Thanks,

Dbxtool seems to force loading of 32-bit dbx in 64-bit environment

I am using the Linux version of dbxtool to debug a 64-bit programme called frankie:
file ../support/frankie
../support/frankie: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, not strippedWhen I attempt to load the executable within dbxtool, I get an "unsupported architecture" message, which I assume means that the 32-bit version of dbx is loaded:
(dbx) debug ~/support/frankie
dbx: ~/support/frankie has unsupported architecture or file formatHowever, if I run dbx from the commandline, it is able to load the file, presumably by automatically loading the 64-bit version of the debugger debugger.
(dbx) debug ../support/frankie
Reading frankie
Reading ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
Reading libm.so.6
Reading libncurses.so.5
Reading libc.so.6
Reading libdl.so.2I cannot find any option that would force dbxtool to use the 64-but debugger, in fact the only one I can find is one to force use of the 32-bit debugger in a 64-bit environment!
any suggestions?

It is a known problem.
dbxtool: Can't load 64-bit application into default dbx's session
=== Description ============================================================
platform: 64-bit linux (RHEL or SLES)
Scenario:
1) Create 64-bit executable file (I created and built Fractal sample in Sun Studio IDE)
2) Launch Dbxtool
==> Dbxtool is started. Also empty dbx's session is started in 'Dbx console' tab
3) Press 'Debug Executable' button.
4) Select your 64-bit executable file and press Debug button
==> 'file has unsupported architecture or file format' warning appears
Workaround: finish default dbx's session and repeat 3) and 4) steps

Connect to MS SQL server from OWB on Linux platform

Hi,
I want to connect to MS SQL server through OWB, on Linux platform.
I suppose I would use JDBC driver, and Heterogeneous services. Is that possible?
I did not see anything on JDBC driver for MS SQL server for Linux platform from Oracle.
Also, I was wondering is Oracle Gateway 10g for Linux a way to connect to MSSQL server?
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ani

Hi,
This quite an actual topic for myself, so I decided to take some time to collect some information.
Start at:
* Oracle Generic Connectivity and Oracle Transparent Gateway - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/gateways/gateways_fov.html
You can use the free Heterogenous Services component named Generic Connectivity for connecting to SqlServer over ODBC. You will need to find (or purchase?) a third-party ODBC driver for SqlServer for Linux, e.g. from www.datadirect.com. Setting this up will allow you to define a databaselink to the SqlServer. Open Gateways implements a limited set of the oracle SQL, so you will have to find out what is possible and what not.
See also:
* How To Setup HSODBC on Linux - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=264567.1
* Generic Connectivity Available on Linux x86 with 10g - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=261726.1
You can also use the Transparent Gateway for SqlServer (HS), which is about EURO 12000 per computer(!). This gives you a full implementation of Oracle SQL and you can access the SqlServer like it was Oracle.
You can also install Microsofts JDBC drivers into Oracle's JVM, and connect through JDBC to SqlServer. This is however not supported by Oracle, but it will work. See:
* What is required for a Java Stored Procedure to connect to a SQL Server Database? - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=276167.1

How to Migrate SSIS packages from 32 bit to 64 bit environment

Hi,
We developed many SSIS packages in 32 bit environment using SQL 2008 on windows 2003 server 32 bit OS. In order to utilize the 64 bit features we wish to migrate these packages into a 64 bit. Wanted to know.
1. Whether we can execute these packages that are developed in 32 bit environment onto a 64 bit environment. If yes, then do we get the benefits of 64 bit environment. For ex. RAM utilization. If no, then what advantage do we get.
2. Is it possible to develop the packages directly in a 64 bit environment.
Thanks in advance,
Yog

One thing you need to make sure when migrating to 64 bit machines is to have drivers installed for 64 bit ie for providers like excel. One more thing to note is that SSDT/BIDS which is used for developing packages is by itself a 32 bit application. So
you may need to use 3 bit driver at design time and run packages with 64 bit runtime set to false at design time. And while deployed on server it can use 64 bit driver itself for its execution.

SDK in a Windows 7 64-bit environment

Has anyone been able to get SDK (activity6x, project, and dictionary6x) to work in a P6.7 Windows 7 64-bit environment? Any thoughts appreciated. Need not immediate.

In response to your post Tibi:
"as for Win 64-bit environment, i use the xls files (to set up global data, bulk import data, etc) on client-server configurations on a regular basis, with the client running either 32 or 64-bit Windows and the database server usually running 64-bit. i don't recall using the xls files on SDK on standalone under 64-bit Win OS."
I have the Primavera P6 7.0 cleint installed and functioning correctly (database connectivity), but I am having trouble creating a ODBC connection for my Excel WBS import SDK file. I am having trouble running an import XLS file (import WBS structures into Primavera P6 7.0) on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. For some reason I cannot get the Primavera Software Develpment Kit ODBC connection working. It doesnt show up within the ODBC managment .exe application. I have tryed to install and even tweak some registry settings to no avail. Was there anything special or out of the ordinary you had to do to get this functioning correctly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Code working in 32 bit environment but fails in 64 bit environment

Hi,
I am trying to compile my code in 64 bit environment which was perfectly working fine in 32 bit environment. But the following message gets displayed.
"Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {632F4591-AA62-4219-8FB6-22BCF5F62007} failed due to the following error: 80040154."
I tried running the Sample programs in the 64 bit environment, The UI API Samples are working fine, but the samples of DI API give out the same message. I even tried re-installing the SAP Business One client thinking that it might be due to improper installation of DI API component in the client installation. But that too, did not work out.
The code works fine in 32 bit environment with no issues. I am still clueless as to why it is not working in the 64 bit environment.
Kindly help. Immediate help is appreciable.
Thanks & Regards,
Siju Dasan

HI,
See SAP NOte 1383536.
It says, that DI API has been build in into the Application is using invalid path

3 EA1 problem in 64-bit environment

I'm definitely not able to start Data Modeler 3 EA1 on a 64-bit environment (64-bit Windows 7, 64-bit Jvm)
I knew (and I read from Release notes) that SQL Developer Data Modeler is supported on 64-bit platforms, but datamodeler.bat is simply missing in the latest build- any other executable is useless on 64-bit env.
I tried to build a batch myself, but -damn it- I don't find main class in oracle.datamodeler.jar: the previous one, oracle.dbtools.crest.swingui.ApplicationView,
seems incorrect; using oracle.ide.boot.Launcher it's the same.
I'm a bit frustrated ;-)
Of course, I downloaded the zip file without a JRE
Any help would be much appreciated
Ciao
Ivo

Hi Ivo,
you can simply create a bat file in <DATAMODELER_FOLDER>\datamodeler\bin which contains following lines:
java -Dide.conf=<DATAMODELER_FOLDER>\datamodeler\bin\datamodeler.conf -Dide.product=oracle.datamodeler -cp <DATAMODELER_FOLDER>\ide\lib\ide-boot.jar oracle.ide.boot.Launcher
Don't forget to replace <DATAMODELER_FOLDER> with your actual Data Modeler installation folder.
Hope that helps,
Ivaylo

Configuration in 64 bit environment

I just upgraded my system to a 64 bit machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have installed PS and the configurator in the 64 bit environment.
I built a panel in PS4 on my 32 machine and it has been working like a champ since August. When setting up my new system I moved the panel directory over to the 64 bit directory structure as outline in the configuration Help file. I restarted PS4 but no panel in the Window/Extension area. I recompiled the panel in the 64 bit environment with no success as well. I even built a test panel and it does not show in the Window/Extension area.
Where am I going wrong? Is Configuration not running in a 64 bit environment?
I really would like to get the panel running again as it really saves a lot of time and brain power when processing my images.
Thank You
John

Jeffery -
Thanks for the reply. I placed the panel data in both places as you mentioned and it almost worked. I now have a panel with nothing in it and a error message: "Please close all panels or restart Photoshop to enable the security configuration for this panel"
When I do as it says I still have the message. I qurried the PS Help and found a thread Adobe Forums: Enable the security configuration for... dealing with this. But I can not find the path and files on my machine to solve the problem in Windows 7.

Who will install ORACLE software on linux production environment?

Hi Friends,
there is a doubt for me on ORACLE software installation. i.e. who will install ORACLE software on linux production environment. either system admin or else ORACLE DBA.
If DBA means, whether system admin will share the oracle root password.,
If SYS admin means how DBA parameters during installation.

Since every version of Oracle available now (except 11.2) needs patches, a new installation should not create the database right away. Therefore, a software-only install is the most reasonable thing to do. And if no DB configuration parameters are required at s/w-only time, then it makes somewhat sense for the SysAdmin to do the install.
Therefore, it makes sense to me that the two groups (DBA and SA) might want to work ... together. (ROFLMAO)

Arch Linux Netboot Environment under grub legacy

I am trying to boot under grub legacy with the following menu.lst entry:
Arch Linux Netboot Environment
root (hd0,5)
kernel ipxe.krn

This does not work. Do you have any suggestion?
Last edited by francois.e (2013-01-07 02:49:52)

Indeed - more information is needed.
What is your partitioning scheme, is sda6 your /boot parition? Are your kernel and intrd in /boot/grub/? This would be unusual, but it is what that entry implies. Also, where is your root partition specified?
You also don't need the boot command in the menu.lst. I don't know if it would cause a problem, but I've never seen it there. In addition to the links in cfr's signature, you should (have already) read the wiki page on grub legacy.

Is it possible to use the OWB in a cloud environment?

We are examining the possibility to move a DW into a cloud environment. We are using OWB for our ETL process. Is there anyone who has experience of running a data warehouse in a cloud environment?

There might be a way, but I would guess that it would involve using some sort of third-party software. It would get a bit difficult if you would need to define primary and secondary audio - especially if you need to switch. In addition, I'm not sure what kind of playback software you would be using.
If there's some way to define primary and secondary audio, you might be able to use something as simple as a USB or Bluetooth headset/headphones. There are some nicer Bluetooth headphones on the market.

Using SE phones in a Linux (Ubuntu) environment

Why does SE company have an issue with the Open Source operation systems? SE does not officially support any other operating system than MS Windows (and in some cases the Mac). I have some concerns about this limitation and maybe you would like to join this important discussion too?
Although SE doesn't officially support Ubuntu (for example), it would not nescessarily mean that you cannot use your SE products on you Linux computer. They might work or they might not. I, for my part, haven't been able to connect to my SE products through Ubuntu for even a single Filetransfer, let alone a phone filebrowsing. I was really disappointed about that. I can understand why SE does not officially support Linux operating systems; since there is such a vast variety of flavours and personal tweeks available, that it would be an overwhelming task to try and help out phone customers, with every tiny problem they might encounter while using a Linux environment. I can really understand that. But what I cannot understand is, why SE doesn't make it POSSIBLE to simply USE their products on Linux computers. It would make many Linux users happy and it will not even be difficult technically to open up for that possiblity. I can't see any negative impact it would have doing that and it would'nt even be hard work.
It was out of that frustration and realization, that I started this thread. What is your experience with and view on this problem? Do you have any negative or positive experiences about this, that you wants to share with the rest of the (OpenSource) world, then please feel free to post below!
I am using somewhat old phones like T650i and the Elm (GreenHeart).

Dear unknown reader.
As things develop I have already something new to post on this thread. I can see that I have had as many as 20 views in less than 24 hours on this new thread, so I feel a slight responsibility to post my findings. Hope you will find the information handy too? Ok, here goes:
I have found out that my Elm (GreenHeart) SE J10i is accessable from Ubuntu - and Linux in general -, with just a very few clicks in the phone menu. It actually looks like SE have opened it for Linux use! Hurra. It is also my newest phone, so maybe all new phones are like that? Ok, if you like to know how, just do the following and you will have acces to almost everything. To mount the cellphone and make it accessible open the
Menu >> Settings >> Connections >> USB >> Select Standard Settings >> Other OS (Fx Mac, Linux)
Now your phone should appear in Ubuntu and you can browse, copy and tranfer files. The above instructions, was freely translated from my cellphone which I have set up in danish, so the exact names might differ a bit from what I have written. But I would guess you get the hang of it quickly anyhow.
There is one unsolved problem left though. One cannot transfer unsupported files like *.amr sound files (for example) from the phone to the computer. A bit annoying, but there may be ways to solve that problem of course, I just don't know how rigth now.
