Process Sheduler for Linux

Hello,
We have to create a monitoring application which shall take some corrective action if required on Linux servers. This shall monitor if the service is running or not after a fixed time interval. If the target service is not running, it shall take the corrective action by starting the service.
We plan to develop this monitoring application in Java and it should be able to start a process / utility (can be a Java / C++ code) on Linux. Start-up of the utility shall be written in a shell-script; so have to invoke the shell script. I think this is possible in Java using the Runtime class. However, I have a query out here. If the target process/utility does some kind of memory allocations or reserves some kind of memory, shall that be from JVM of the this application? Example : this monitoring application is assigned 2 GB of RAM. If the target application that needs to be started requires 4GB of RAM, will it be possible to do so? Also, are there going to be any other potential problems that I might have missed out....
Also, are there any third party API / framework that already has such kind of functionality? Is Java the right platform to develop such kind of application? Please guide as to how to proceed regarding the same. Any thoughts / ideas on this front are highly welcome.
Kind Regards,
Jay

Firstly, thanks for your comment...
Yes; no issues with that... In fact that is something we intended to do so that no other user can kill this monitoring process.... Do you foresee any other problems? Any API that you feel might cut down the efforts in building such kind of application?
One more point that I want to add is that one service monitor might have to communicate with other service monitor on certain conditions... so this is a slightly tricky application that we have to develop..... any kind of suggestions / ideas regarding the implementation / potential problems are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jay

What is the difference between 11i for LInux (VS) 11i for Windows

Hi,
I have downloaded 11i E-Business suit for Windows and
Installed it successfuly.
I am having problem with windows plateform regarding listner, connection manager, service host, rpc all these stopping/terminating by itself and system rebooting.
I would like to install 11i on Linux.
Q1. Which files I need to download again?
Q2. Is there any script I need to run for LInux?
I have run adautostg.pl and it hasnot given me any error for start cd but when it came to appl_top it said as "This is for windows, continue any way" and I said yes. so it made stage.
I can't run setup as user Oracle as it is not allowed to write on disk, can u also give me suggestion about that?
I am installing 11i on single node.
Q3. I can use the same files of windows for linux as
I saw some .sh shell commands and
startcd/rapidwiz/adautostg.pl is also used in
unix/linux.
Warm Regards,
Rashid.

I have run installation of 11i for windows on Linux plateform and now I would like to share it with u all.
1. I run adautostg.pl by using command $perl adautostg.pl and it has staged all the startcd disks without any error.
2. when it came to other cdies it has prompted me as "this file if for windows; continue any way" and I pressed ok and it has staged all the files without any furthur error.

Oracle8i for Linux Release announcement

I received a copy of this Oracle marketing announcement today:
The Linux tidal wave continues and Oracle is right at the
forefront. We have
been experiencing tremendous demand on Linux since Oracle8 was
announced for
that platform last October. Over 50,000 developers have
downloaded Oracle8
for Linux from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) since March, with
the first
20,000 coming in just the first 10 days! We now have over 800
paying
customers with over half the orders coming from enterprise
accounts and most
of the remainder orders from mid-sized businesses.
This week Oracle is announcing the shipping of Oracle8i for
Linux. Already,
20,000 developers have registered for early access. With new
internet
technologies like Java and XML built right into Oracle8i for
Linux, this
release promises to be the hottest yet.
Read on for more information about:
- What are we announcing?
- What are the key messages?
- What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
- Why does Oracle care about Linux?
- Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
- Which products are available on Linux?
- Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort and what are we
doing?
- Where to find more information about Oracle on Linux?
What are we announcing?
Oracle is announcing today that it has been receiving extremely
strong demand
for its Linux based products over the past quarter and is also
shipping
Oracle8i for Linux to manufacturing.
What are the key messages?
Linux represents the ultimate commodity operating system -- its
fast, reliable
and almost free! Businesses can now spend their time focusing on
the higher
value software they buy to run their businesses (such as
databases and applications).
With over 800 customers paying for Oracle on Linux, Linux is
progressing from
its roots as a student and developer operating system to a viable
deployment
environment in large business.
Oracle has the best database on Linux. With over 50,000 people
using Oracle8
and over 20,000 people registered through Oracle Technology
Network (OTN) for
Oracle8i, Oracle is the overwhelming choice for the Linux
operating system.
What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
Pricing of Oracle8i on Linux follows the standard Oracle price
list (see
http://appsweb.us.oracle.com/amapp/). Linux may be a freeware
operating
system, but Oracle on Linux is not free. Oracle does offer
developer licenses
through Oracle Technology Network (OTN) which allows developers
to use Oracle
software for non-commercial use.
Why does Oracle care about Linux?
Linux is hot! It is rapidly becoming the preferred platform for
small ISP's
and is used extensively by many of the internet's largest portal
sites. For
Oracle, Linux is the fastest growing operating system, growing at
three times
that of WindowsNT. Oracle on Linux presents customers a viable
low-cost, yet
highly stable alternative to WindowsNT. That said, with 46% of
the NT market,
Oracle is also the best selling database on NT!
Oracle now has over 800 customers on Linux. This statistic alone
strongly
contradicts the common perception that Linux is solely used by
students and
developers. Linux has already established a foothold in many
Fortune 100
companies and although deployments are still currently small
compared to NT
and Solaris, they are accelerating rapidly.
Which products are available on Linux?
Currently available on Linux are:
- Oracle8.0.5 Standard and Enterprise Edition
- Oracle8i Release 8.1.5
- Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 (40 Bit)
- Oracle Application Server 3.0.2 (40 Bit)
- Oracle WebDB 2.0.5.6.1
Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
Redhat Software - Linux distributors. Oracle has also made an
equity
investment in RedHat. (http://www.redhat.com)
Caldera System - Linux distributors. Novell spin-off, focus
primarily on
enterprise customers. (http://www.caldera.com)
Turbolinux - Linux distributor. Has a mostly Asia presence.
(http://www.turbolinux.com)
VA Linux Systems - Hardware vendor, making Linux systems.
(http://www.linux.com)
Linuxcare - Linux support provider. (http://www.linuxcare.com)
Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort?
There are two teams within Oracle working closely to drive the
Oracle strategy
and goals on Linux: Internet Platform Marketing and the Linux SBU
(Strategic
Business Unit).

Press Release
ORACLE CAPITALIZES ON ENTERPRISE DEMAND FOR LINUX OFFERINGS WITH
ANNOUNCEMENT
OF ORACLE8i ON LINUX
Early Adopters Programs Draws Nearly 20,000 Developers
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 19, 1999--Oracle Corporation, the
number one
choice for e-business, today announced dramatic growth and demand
for Oracle
on Linux with strong adoption in both enterprise and general
business markets.
Oracle also announced the general availability of Oracle8i on
Linux, after a
successful early adopter's program.
Since Oracle Corp. announced Oracle8 on Linux, there have been
over 50,000
downloads from Oracle Technology Network
(http://technet.oracle.com/ ). Now,
after the announcement of Oracle8i, there have been nearly 20,000
registrants
for early access in the first few weeks. Outside the development
community,
Oracle has also seen overwhelming customer adoption with an
excess of 800
paying customers today -- over half of these orders from
enterprise accounts
and the remainder from small to mid-sized businesses and
organizations.
"Until the availability of Oracle database on Linux, we either
had to rely on
NT or use one of the shareware database servers available for
Linux," says
Jonathan August, President and CEO of Internection, Inc., a
company providing
customized Internet services solutions to businesses, including
web hosting
and e-commerce solutions. "Neither solution provided us the
security,
performance, manageability or reliability required by our
customers. Oracle
brings enterprise credibility and robustness to our products. As
a result,
we've gained access to customers ranging from small businesses to
Fortune 100
enterprises like Prudential and Pfizer. Our total revenue since
the addition
of Oracle on Linux has increased by 250%."
"Oracle on Linux combines enterprise level reliability,
scalability and
performance with a free, robust and well-supported operating
system," says
Nick Marden, technical director of e-commerce, Xoom.com, and
e-commerce
service provider. "It enables Xoom.com to better understand our
members'
needs and respond to them quickly. Oracle on Linux represents an
extraordinary value and it gets the job done."
"Oracle is committed to bringing superior technology to the Linux
community,"
says Chuck Rozwat, senior vice president of Server Technologies
at Oracle.
"Oracle8i on Linux comes with both Java and XML built right in.
Together they
offer the most cost-effective way to deploy scalable Internet
applications."
Oracle8i is the first and only database specifically designed for
the
Internet. Oracle8i extends Oracle's long-standing technology
leadership in
the areas of data management, transaction processing and data
warehousing to
the new medium of the Internet. Oracle8i is the centerpiece of
Oracle's
Internet Platform, which also includes Oracle Application Server
and Oracle's
Internet development tools.
Oracle Corporation is the world's leading supplier of software
for information
management, and the world's second largest software company.
With annual
revenues of more than $8.8 billion, the company offers its
database,
application server, tools and application products, along with
related
consulting, education and support services, in more than 145
countries around
the world.

Yeah, I got a couple of those....but if you go to Oracle, there
is nothing about it, and nothing new on the OTN download...
We can hope...

John -
You are missing some required Linux files. When you install
Linux, pick the 'everything' option, then weed out the obvious
things you don't want (like the Serbian How-To's, etc.)
I say this because I ran into the exact same thing this past
weekend after picking and choosing which packages to install for
Linux. After re-installing with the 'everything' option, the
Oracle install went swimmingly. I wish I could tell you which

OAS 4.0.8.1 for Linux: wrksf goes down

After having installed the OAS 4.0.8.1 for
Linux, I have a problem getting it to work.
I use the OAS Manager to start the following
four processes :
oassrv "Oracle Application Server"
wrksf "Cartridge Server Factory"
otsfacsrv "Transaction Server Factory"
orb "ORB Servers"
The four processes come up, but after a
minute or so the 'wrksf' process goes
down.
After restarting the wrksf in
command line mode (using the owsctl utility)
the same occurs: it stays up for about a
minute or so, and then goes down.
The log files don't show any error messages.
Does anybody have a clue in which direction
I should search ?
Can any tracing be turned on ?

After I fixed some of the things I broke while searching for the wrksf failure, the PL/SQL Cartridge now works for me too. And, after failing to get the DB Browser to work by loading it into the SCOTT schema, I got it to work by loading it into SYS. (SCOTT can't see the DBA_* views so loading the DB Browser into the database failed.) I haven't tried any Java Servlets yet, but that's next on my list.
If you want to try my wrksf workaround, rather than using Christoph's, here's how you can do it.
1. Backup liborb.so in the $ORACLE_HOME/orb/4.0/lib directory, just in case something goes wrong.
2. Using a hex editor, such as emacs hexl-find-file or ghex, to edit liborb.so, find the string "/proc/stat".
3. Change the directory, "/proc" to something like "/pfoo" and write the shared library file back to liborb.so. You now have the required modified liborb.so.
4. Make the /pfoo directory and cp /proc/stat /pfoo.
5. Edit /pfoo/stat and duplicate the first line, which should be the cpu line. This will let the metrics parser handle it. Make sure that /pfoo/stat has read access.
Of course, the values that the metrics code gets are now bogus, but that does not seem to be a fatal problem.
Hopefully somebody from Oracle is reading this and the real fix will be in the mail soon.

A reasonable hardware configuration for Linux OAS

Has anyone out there tried to run
Oracle 8 for Linux and OAS 3.02
all on the same toasted PC/pentium server?
Could you tell me the nature of your
hardware configuration (processor speed, ram, etc)
if you feel the performance is acceptable for
development (not for actual business operation).
The technical FAQ lists 48 megs and any
Pentium to run Oracle 8 for Linux which
verges on ridiculously low.
I just want to know a reasonable
configuration to run both Oracle 8 and OAS .
Thanks,
Heji

I have been runnig OAS/O8 on a Pii/300Mhz system with 128mb of
ram, and so far I have no real complaints on speed. I even tuned
the SGA to give a little better performance and still have around
40 or so MB free. BTW, I haven't really tried to mess around
with the Linux version of OAS, but have used the Solaris version
previously, have you noticed any problems with the wrb starting
up? I have seen some error messages saying "No processes..." or
something, looks like an error.. have you experienced this?

EM Cloud 12c Management Agent Software for linux x86

Hello folks
I need to acquire Management Agent Software for linux x86 using offline mode. I followed steps described in online documentation of Oracle Cloud Control 12c, section "4.2.3.2 Acquiring Management Agent Software in Offline Mode"
I downloaded the catalog file p9348486_112000_Generic.zip, but when I executed import_update_catalog as follow:
/em12c/oms12cr3/oms/bin/emcli import_update_catalog -file=/app/em12c/swlib/p9348486_112000_Generic.zip -omslocal
this error apears:
"Internal error while validating catalog file format: error in opening zip file"
thanks in advance

About "kernel.exec-shield" and "because they will bring security issue" for linux ASE

In " ASE Quick Installation Guide for Linux", "kernel.exec-shield=0" and “kernel.randomaize-va-space=0” should be set.
But SuSE engineers say that “kernel.exec-shield=0”and “kernel.randomaize-va-space=0” will bring the OS security issue.
Customer want to know why ASE need the above parameters ?
Has anybody the idea for customer's question?

If the parameters are not set as documented, attempts to start additional engines beyond the first one will fail, generating stack traces.
ASE acts in many ways like it's own operating system, scheduling individual user connections (spids) to actively run (note that ASE was developed well before native threading was commonly available). Each spid has it's own stack information that gets swapped in when it is set to "running" state on the engine and swapped out when it yields the engine. The mechanics of this is not that different from the buffer overrun exploits described in the Red Hat document linked to by the
install guide, http://www.redhat.com/f/pdf/rhel/WHP0006US_Execshield.pdf
and the exec-shield mechanics definatately interfere ASE's operations when ASE is using multiple dataserver processes (engines) that swap spids around.

Oracle 9i client for linux & PHP

I'm looking to connect PHP on my linux server to a remote oracle server running 9i. I have been unsuccessful in finding good documentation on this process, as most people are either using windows or connecting to a local server.
As far as I can tell, you must install the oracle client for linux, then recompile PHP with oracle support. So:
1) Is this the best method to do this, and if so where can I get an oracle client for linux?
2) Is there a location where I can get the oracle extension for PHP without having to recompile PHP?

I believe the extensions are refered to in the php.ini
and need to be setup.
;Windows Extensions
;Note that MySQL and ODBC support is now built in, so no dll is needed for it.
extension=php_oracle.dll
;Don't know if this is needed and whether there is a
;php_oci9.dll
;extension=php_oci8.dll
which can be found by this:
extension_dir = "C:\WINDOWS"
I am trying to perform a similar task, well, sort of. I am running Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1.0) on a Win2003Server machine and do not want to build PHP either.
Please let me know if you find your answer.
Thanks

Oracle 11g v11.1.0.7.0 for Linux RedHat?

Hello,
can anybody tell me if there is a Oracle 11g v11.1.0.7.0 available for Linux RedHat, maybe a Pre-Version for Oracle-Customers/Partners?
A problem was reported to us pertaining to some privilege problems under Oracle 11g v11.1.0.7.0 / Linux, but i cannot find any version on:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html
There is only a v11.1.0.7.0 for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and the last version for Linux is there v11.1.0.6.0.
Thanks in advance.

The case with Windows 2008 exists because there was no way to install 11.1.0.6 on that platform, so the process of 'install and patch' is not possible. Therefore they needed to 'fix' the initial install for that specific plaftform and it is their policy to only release to the 'current patch set' (which was 11.1.0.7 at the time).
With Linux, you can 'make it work' with newer versions (eg: RH 5u4) by providing the appropriate compat libraries, therefore the original 'install and patch' process is still valid.
Making Linux 11.1.0.7 available would nullify their Support mechanisms.
