Problems installing/running Oracle 10g

I'm brand new to Oracle so if it sounds like I don't know what I'm talking about, you'll know why.
I recently installed Oracle Database 10g on a fresh copy Windows 2000 Server. During the setup of the Database Configuration Assistant, I received several different error messages stating that the SYSTEM01.DBF file was corrupted. I continued the installation despite the messages and things seemed to be working ok; I was able to browse and create objects via Enterprise Manager etc..
For some reason after a while I was unable to start the database. It continued to tell me that the password (I'm not sure if it meant the OS or for the db) I provided was incorrect. Then I decided to try creating a new db, and the DBCA errored out giving the same corrupted SYSTEM01.DBF message as during the initial install.
Has anyone seen something similar or have any suggestions for me? Thanks, Jason.

Joel, thanks for the response. I'm running Windows 2000 Server with SP3.
This morning I was able to install a database without any errors. Sincerely, I don't know what I did this time that was different but it worked. However, I've having the same trouble with the password. In EM via IE I entered the OS password "MACHINE_NAME\user", the password, the database user "SYS", its password, and it continues to return an error. I believe it's this "RemoteExceptionError", but I'm not certain. What's odd is that when I provide a user that doesn't exist or an incorrect password, it returns the same error as when I provide the credentials that I know are correct.
Is it possible something's timing out but it's returning a slightly different error message?

Problems to initiate oracle 10g express edition

Good afternoon I am speaking of Brazil with a text translator.
But I have installed Hundreds and I am trying to install oracle 10g express edition release 2.
I am with a problem in the Oracle 10g Express Edition in the installation part when I vo to initiate the service, it does not initiate.
And when I give I command /etc/init.d/oracle-xe status appears the following message: Your default context is user_u: system_r: unconfined_t. Of it you want you choose different one? [n]
I do not know more what to make to decide this.
I thank the attention.

Oracle XE has it's own forum - to register and discuss XE problems with XE experts use URL http://www.oracle.com/technology/xe/registration
Once you have registered, you sign in to the forums and the link to the XE forum is there. But you do have to sign in as the user who registered XE.
You will also need to provide a few more pieces of information:
1) actual distro and version of Linux
2) userid used to install XE (should be root)
3) userid used to run "/etc/init.d/oracle-xe start" (should be root)

Can i install/run oracle 8i in win xp

can i install/run oracle 8i in windows xp ?

yes u can install ora 8i in win xp pro
Windows XP Home Edition
Oracle 8i is not certified on windows XP. Even if yes, it must be Windows XP Professional.
You can install Oracle8i on windows XP Home Edition, try like this:
1 - Copy your Oracle CD into hard disk in your
machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into C:\Oracle\ ...
2 - Search the two files named Symcjit.dll on the D drive (where you have copied Oracle8i. You can found them in (example):
C:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll (make sure to find two files and rename them)
4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from C:\Oracle\setup.exe
=================================================================
When Oracle 8i dies on the install or the installer hangs, here is the fix for this, make sure that you have Service Pack 2 installed.
1. \JRE\1.3.1\ From Sun. (You can download java program at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/download-jre-windows.html)
2. Install the java file.
There is also a problem in the installation disk.
3. Make a copy of the Oracle 8i disk on the local hard disk.
4. Do a search for the two files called symcjit.dll and rename them for example: symcjit.old.
5. Install Oracle from the win32 directory.

Error while re-installing the Oracle 10g on Linux

Hello Experts,
I am a beginner in this area: I was in the process of installing Oracle 10g Release 2 on Linux 4. However, during the installation was incomplete because there was a disconnection in the network during the step wherein I was supposed to run the shell scripts from the root directory. When I tried to install the product once again, I got an error message that I need to "create a new oracle home". I also checked if there were any oracle products installed, but there were none. Now, how do I re-install the oracle 10g? Please help.
Thanks!

Hi Jean-Valentin,
I tried doing that, (ref: http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b16227/oui3_manage_oracle_homes.htm#i1006275),
but it didnot work.
So, what I did was:
I created a new oracle home:
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_2
instead of the older one: ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
and I was able to install the oracle software successfully.
Please let me know if there is anyway that I can clean up
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1, in the sense, completely remove it.
Please let me know if there is a particular way to remove ORACLE_HOME and oraInventory directories.
Thanks a lot.

Running Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition: Multicore or MultiProcessor

I have the option of running Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition on a SunFire v480 (4 x 1.2 GHz UltraSPARC III) or a Sunfire T-2000 with a 1Ghz 8-core processor. Assume both machines will be running Solaris 10 as the operating system and have comparable amounts of RAM.
What would be the best choice for performance, and why? Does Oracle 10g have any optimizations that enhance it's ability to run on a multi-core or multi-processor system, or is that mostly dependent on the OS itself?

Each (dedicated) oracle connection has its own process, plus all of the background processes. This means they will benefit from multiple cpu/core architectures. Assuming that the multi-core solution appears to the OS as multiple processors, it will be the best solution since you have the most CPU power. Be sure to check the licensing rules for multi-core processors, there are some special rules about them.

Hello Ady,
Hey not all of us have a religionok, I extend my statement to those with a different religion, atheists, agnostics and anybody who does not beliefe in a divine being of any kind ;-)
some of us are bright enough to be atheistsThe implicit statement of this is not better than greeting only users of a certain religion.
To the OP: I respect your belief, but we had the discussion about greetings in this forum before. To most users any relation to a religion is inapropriate and considered a violation of the Terms of Use, e.g. {message:id=9677530}.

Installing and Running Oracle 10g Express Edition on Microsoft Vista

My computer is running on Microsoft Vista.
I downloaded Oracle 10g Express Edition for Vista.
I ran the setup.exe. Everything went well there.
But, when I open the SQLPlus program, a window prompts me to enter my username, password and host string.
Can someone please tell me what it is expecting for these fields? I am using the same username and password I used to create my Oracle account.
But what is the host string?
Appreciate it.
Thanks.

Netweaver 2004s installation problem on Windows: Oracle 10G

Hi Friends,
I would like to install Netweaver 2004S(with usage types AS ABAP, AS JAVA, BI, BI JAVA, EP & DI) on a server which has Windows 2003 server OS running on it.
The server has 6GB RAM and has 5GB of free space on C: and a free sapce of 60GB on H: & 50GB on I: respectively.The database that is to be used is Oracle 10g.
Do I need to install first SAP solution manger 4.0 on this or Can i proceed with Netweaver 2004 S installation???
I am installing a central system.
First I tried installing SAP solution manger 4.0 on this system and it went successfully. Now when i am installing Netweaver 2004s on the same machine, during installation I am asked whether to "install a MCOD or create a new database for this installation".
I chose Install MCOD and proceeded further with Installation. But my installation is taking a lot of time while executing the service :"Creating database schema". The message which i get on status bar is " Removing schema user SAPSR3" and the status remains the same.
Have any of you faced this problem ? Please let me know how you have proceeded further.
Before starting the installation one of the prerequisites " SWAP SPACE VALUES" for installation was not satisfied by my system and even then i proceeded with the installation.
Is it because of this SWAP space problem , my intsallation is strcuk?? or what could be the reason fo this?
Thanks
Diwakar

Hello Diwakar,
If you are just installing NW2004s then it is not mandatory to install Solution manager.
To increase the swap space --
Right click my on computer ->Select Properties -> Click Advanced Tab ->Click Settings (performance) -> Select Advanced Tab -> In virtual memory -> Change
you canIncrease swap space/page file here.
Do not install the system as MCOD, make the seperate database.
Do revert for further doubt.
Best Regards,
Sachin.

32bit client on windows 2003 server R2 64bit running oracle 10g release 2

Hello,
could you please help me ?
I have a windows 2003 r2 sp2 64 bit server on witch oracle 10g release 2 64 bit is installed.
So far no issue.
I need to have a 32bit client installed on the same server to be able to run some applications on the server, but my applications won't start telling me that TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
my tnsnames.ora seem correct both in the db_1\network\admin directory and in client_1db_1\network\admin directory.
both Sqlplus(client_1 10.2.0.1 and db_1 10.2.0.3) return a connection.
I don't know where the problem could be coming from
Thanks a lot

Unable to run oracle 10g developer suite

Hi,
I have installed both on oracle 10g express and oracle 10g developer suite on my laptop running XP home edition. The database is running , but I can not get form developer to run. The error message as "ORA-12154-TNS:could not resolve service name"
My questions are: 1) does 10g developer suite have to run as client-server platform? Can it be stand-alone? 2) or, it is because XP Home edition? 3) Can 10g developer run on Express edition?
Thanks.

but I can
not get form developer to run. The error message as
"ORA-12154-TNS:could not resolve service name"Is the form builder software opening (appearing).
Are you able to connect through XE's SQL Command?
The error you are getting is because forms cannot connect to the database, and not because it is not running.
You need to configure the tnsnames.ora file found unde
%ORACLE_HOME%/NETWORK/ADMIN/tnsnames.ora.
you can either configure it manually or by using the Net Configuration Assistant found under Start -> My programs ->%oracle_home% -> Oracle configuration and migration Assist.
Manual:<Service_name> =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <hostname> or localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = <sid_name>)
)If You have XE installed your connection identifier would probably must look like something like this. you can just copy paste it.
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)The port number 1521 is the default, if you changed it during installation then use the port number you have specified during installation.
1) Orcale Developer suite 9i and above are for web deployment and not client server.
2) what you mean by standalone? do the configuratin above and it should work.
3) Oracle products are not certified for windows home edition (but I have seen them working) but keep in minde that you will face many problems since the OS is not supported one.

Install of Oracle 10g on RHEL 4 AS (newbie)

This is one the toughest installs I've ever done. I'm new to Oracle so bear with me. I'm trying to install Oracle 10g on a RHEL 4 AS system. I started out installig on a RHEL 5 sever but felt that I might be in over my head since it wasn't certified for RHEL 5.
I've successfully installed Oracle 10g on a RHEL 4 AS machine. During my installation I used the "Advanced & Custom" install. I selected this option to install software only. I wanted to learn the implmentation of Oracle and the creation of databases. I'm now trying to start the Oracle/DBMS service and the listener. I've been tyring to get isqlplus to work via the Mozilla browser but I've not been able to login. I enter in the following url "http://oracleserver:5561/isqlplus". I receive the logon screen asking for a usename and password. I don't recall entering in a username other than the default of "dba" and a password. Is this what I should be using on this screen? I'm also being asked to enter in a "Connect Identifier" what does this mean. I don't recall entering in a "Connect Identifier" as part of the installation? When I enter in the "dba" username and password I get the following message:
ERROR - ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified
What does this mean and what should I be entering?
I was successful at getting the listener to start.
I'm I having problems becuase of my installation process of "Advance, Custom, Software Only". My expectations where that a template database would be created and I would be able to use a GUI interface going forward to configure the system. Very much what you would see when installing SQL 2005 in a Windows environment.
Please work with me to get things working. I really want to learn this.
Thanks

When you perform the install software only, it means so, Software Only. So no database template, no default environment. You'll have to define this on your own. It could be by means of dbca or manually.
isqlplus could start, but it doesn't have any database to connect to. The username/password and database service you are being prompted are the connect descriptor to an existing database and a database user/password. At this time none of them exist.
I could tell you, you are doing well, your listener and isqlplus are properly working, so next step, create your database.
As stated above, just issue the dbca command from the os prompt and go through the assistant.
