Portal installation using 8.1.7 standard database

Has anyone successfully installed Portal with 8.1.7 standard database? According to the documentation, Portal should work with 8.1.7 standard. However, the install log contains several errors referring to function-based index (a feature available with enterprise database only) creation failures.

Well, to answer my own question, I de-installed everything and retried with Enterprise Edition. This time I also bumped up a few tablespace sizes during the install and it actually finished this time. See the posting about "Install Guide for NT2000" for details.

Oracle 11gr2 database installation using ASM on standalone Server.

Hello Guys,
Environment is as below:
Oracle 11gr2
ASM
Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
I never did oracle 11gr2 installation using ASM and I need to install Oracle software on standalone server and then create database 11g Release 2.
I have following doubts:
1. Do we need to install Grid infrastructure software for standalone server as well ?
2. Does Grid Infrastructure software comes separately or alongwith DB software ?
3.Is Grid software same for RAC and standalone server setup ?
4.Do we need to create user Grid for installation of Grid for standalone server as well ?
can anyone give me full steps from scratch ?

Errors Installing Portal Components using 9iAS Enterprise on 8.1.7 SE

We are getting an error installing the Portal Components using
9iAS Enterprise on a 8.1.7 SE database. The log indicates that
the error is:
ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Function-based indexes
Errors encountered in the Install process. Installation Aborted.
While I know that Function-based indexes are not supported in SE
this should not prevent the installation of Portal.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thx, Paul

Its also working in our case where we have used 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition. We installed 9iAS 1.0.2.0 on NT. So if you have any issues regarding this then let me know.

Can I migrate from sql azure business database edition (old) to sql azure standard database edition (new in preview)?

I have an export .bacpac file from a sql azure business database edition and I want import that file to sql azure standard database edition.
I have tried through Azure but I think that is not supported yet.
I have also tried through Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2012 but Wizard only shows me old editions "web" and "business" for destination database and it is incompatible...
Thanks.

I've done this today.
You'll need to restore your database onto Azure as a Business/Web addition. Either use your existing or New > SQL Database > Import.
Then you need to sign up to the SQL Preview https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/preview/.
Once you've done that, in the Azure portal under DB > Scale, you'll have Web, Business, Basic, Standard and Premium to choose from.
Obviously this is still in preview mode.

FIM Service and Portal Installation Ends Prematurely

Hello All,
I'm in the process of setting up a new production FIM 2010 R2 server. I have already installed the FIM synchronization service and I was able to install this successfully.
I have already installed SharePoint services (WSS 3.0) and configured it for FIM. But when I try to install the FIM Service and Portal.
I keep getting and error that says " FIM Service and Portal Installation Ends Prematurely" with no other details. If anybody has any advice please let me know.
I have already installed everything on a stand alone box in a dev environment and it all works correctly however I am unable to now install in a production environment

Cameron is right - you should consider FIMService account nearly as normal AD account for user*
An installer account should be admin on the box, where you are installing FIMService and he should be sysadmin on SQL during installation of FIMService. An installer account should be other than FIMService account itself.
*FIMService account:
Lock down the Service Account
The service account should not be used by any other services or users. The account must not be used to logon interactively and requires no access to any additional resources beyond those granted during setup. The service account is used to provide the security
context for the MIIS service as it accesses resources on the MIIS server and the associated database. It also provides the security context for the execution of any rules extensions.
Lock down the service account to ensure no malicious user is able to sign in using its credentials and gain access to MIIS data. Configure Group Policies to lock down the account and restrict access to this account. Since the MIIS service only needs the account
to run as a service, restrict the account as follows:
Deny logon as a batch job.
Deny logon locally.
Deny logon through Terminal Services.
Deny access to this computer from the network.

Seeking assistance in re-architecting Portal to use multiple redundant dbs

I want to re-architect my running Oracle Portal 10.1.4 installation to have more than one database providing the data layer. At present, I have a redundant architecture for every tier except for the data tier. I have two WebCache servers for the front-end, and two Oracle Application Server instances for the application tier. My only single point of failure is my Oracle 10g database. I just have one instance of the database.
I am a developer. In the past I have been told by database administrators that the schema used by Oracle Portal relies on some low-level system values in the database. As I understood it, this reliance made it impossible to have two synchronized database instances that split the load coming from the application tier.
I have searched OTN and MetaLink for architecture tips concerning a redundant data tier. I have not found anything as of yet. I have also searched the Oracle Application Server enterprise deployment guide. While I see articles about creating multiple Oracle Application Server instances, I do not see articles about creating multiple database installations to provide the data layer to Oracle Application Server.
I want to perform this re-architecture in order to bring my portal into compliance with my corporate disaster recovery policies.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Mike

We have a tentative plan.
I have met with our primary DBA to discuss our options for making our data layer more fault-tolerant. Our DBA is hesitant to use RAC, as, based on his knowledge, RAC has multipe nodes, but has a single storage point. Our goal is to not have our database be our single point of failure, and a single storage point, even with multiple nodes, is still a single point of failure. Instead, our DBA would like to consider an older technology, DataGuard. His idea is to have a single database, protected via DataGuard. This is not exactly fault tolerant, as the switch over to the DataGuard may take time, but it is closer to fault tolerance than is our current architecture. Does this make sense?
As an aside, our DBA also stated that white papers have shown that RAC has less availability than non-RAC database systems, as any "network hiccup" and node swapping starts. I have not seen these white papers, but he seems to believe that RAC is not as performant, and therefore more prone to latency/outage.
I personally don't think that either RAC or DataGuard is an optimal solution. I think that designing the Oracle Application Server layer to be able to switch between synchrononized databases is the best situation. I think this simply because if we have this set-up, we can have one of the database servers be destroyed due to disaster, and still be able to use the other, synchronized database server, which is geographically far from the destroyed server.
However, as pointed out above, I am a developer, and DBAs have a more realistic idea of our options.
I would appreciate any further assistance from any forum members. I incude links below that may be of interest.
thanks,
Mike

Custom installation using XE

Basic installation of SOA Suite does not seems to work, I don't why.
I have tried Custom installation using XE Database which works but Apcahe
Web Server is throwing exceptions in installation phase (when installation process tries to launch unmanaged Apache module when configurating it) so it terminates too. So boring!
Is it possible to use XE's Http server as SOA Suite's Http Server?
How to configure that?

AFAIK, there is NO compilation of Apache on the win32 platform. If you use Vista please verify that it is certified to install SOA Suite there. Another common pitfall is not reading the installation guide and using computers with DHCP....

How to use external CSS for standard items ?

Hi,
I would like to use my external CSS style-sheet for the standard items I add to my portal page.
I build an UI template with a CSS-link to my css style-sheet, and I used this UI template for my portal page. But it seems that items cannot use this UI template CSS reference.
Is there a way to use external CSS on standard items (text, url,...) ?
Thanks for your help,
Best Regards,
JC.AUDARD

Easiest way I find to do it is to drop your css file in the portal/images folder. Make a hidden html portlet on your template and link to /images/mycss.css. You can then use it for many items such as text, links, html portlets, etc.

How to write a Xml installation file to build a web installer using IzPack.

Hi Everybody,
I am using IzPack 3.11.0 version.I'd like to create a web installer using IzPack.IzPack soft has provided one p.d.f. In
which they has explained how to create a standard installer using xml installation file,however ,they have not explained
how to create a web installer using xml installation file.
Could anyone help me how to create a web installer using xml installation file,please?? It is very very urgent.
Any help will be highly appreciated.Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
that is not really a java related question. Have you tried to find some IzPack support forum? I've never heard about it, so I can't help.

Do you have an installer for Acrobat 6.0 Standard for Mac???

Please help me! Can you send me an installer for Acrobat 6.0 Standard for Mac??? The Acrobat Customer Service "help" says this is the only way I can get my Acrobat going again. It won't bother YOUR installer to share it with me.....and I must use MY OWN SERIAL NUMBERS to connect with them, so they say there's no way it could hurt you......but it would really help me!
I reinstalled my system software, and my Acrobat got corrupted in some way which will not let it communicate properly with Adobe. I cannot upgrade because this is the only version compatible with my other software. Please help, and send me the installer so I can get working again. I'm grateful for anyone who can help. Thanks, Jane.

I'm sorry you distrust me and the person from Acrobat.   He does not
usually work on the Forum, and was trying to help me as Adobe thinks this is my
only solution.   One of the other Acrobat customer service people had
suggested it, and someone had replied that perhaps he could help.   I guess you
misunderstood his posting because he was not trying to say my software had been
"trial" , he was using that as an example.   I bought, own, and have been
using my copy of Acrobat 6.0.4 since I bought it directly from Adobe in
2004........I had something happen with my operating system, and now I need to
reinstall it, but Adobe erases the installers from people's systems after 3
years.   It was the Adobe Customer Service Techie help line that suggested this
"solution".   I have my own serial number etc.......it just won't connect
to Adobe without some teensy missing part of something from the installer
software.   The only "standard" versions I see out there for sale, are for PC,
not Mac.   If you know of something else, I'd be grateful for the info.
Thanks for your interest.   Jane.

Nice try, but I'm not stupid seeing how that was your first post, and I
would expect an employee working the forum to have a lot more posts than
that. Also, the Acrobat 6 installer was never done as trial software. That
option only came about with later software as is done currently. You do
need a serial number to install it or it will not install anything. If you
need the installer so badly, you can get it at Amazon: http

Oracle Apps Standard Database Views not appearing in OBIEE

Hi
I am trying to select the Standard database views of oracle apps.
for example PO_HEADERS_V, PO_LINES_V.....etc.
I am unable to see in the (import metadata ) page.
I have selected the options (Tables, Keys, forign key, View)
Thanks

What do you mean by "changes don't appear"? Don't appear where? Are you using row-wise initialization of the Group variable? If so, have you turned off caching for it?

SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: i INFO: Catalog SQL Server Edition = EnterpriseCore
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: The feature: "The edition of Reporting
Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.;
Really? This totally contradicts the documentation found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157285(v=sql.110).aspx
That article says remote connections are completely supported.
ARGH! Why does this have to be so difficult to setup?!?

Hi jeffoliver1000,
According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,
please refer to the similar thread below:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f98c2f3e-1a30-4993-ab41-acbc5014f92e/data-driven-subscription-button-not-displayed?forum=sqlreportingservices
By the way, have you installed the other SQL Server edition before?

Can I use Oracle APEX with MySQL Database

Hi All,
We are looking to create a performance dashboard using Oracle APEX for our client, but the application database is MySQL. Is it possible to create reports in APEX using data from MySQL database? If yes, are there any specific steps to be followed or any additional setups needed?
Any inputs would be really helpful.
Appreciate all the help
Thanks,
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
it's not possible to use apex on mysql, as stated above me by several persons.
If you havent got any oracle database in your organization, apex would be an expensive choise unless you use the free Oracle XE (express edition), which has APEX embedded.
There are some limitations to XE but with a bit of smart thinking it wouldnt be much of a problem.
[check the XE information here|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#BABIECJA]
In short:
- XE will use 1 CPU even if you have two or more in your system
- There is a 4 GB data limit
- RAM memory usage is limited to 1 GB
- 1 installation per computer
You can use XE as a reporting database. This will relieve your mysql database from heavy reporting processes, too.
The XE can be used as a mini data warehouse. So you have to transfer and transform the relevant data from mysql to your XE instance.
After that you can start building report screens etc in the embedded Apex .
hope this helps you
