does anyone konw how to create a linux oracle 8 cd from win nt?
i downloaded the tar file to my nt machine and i untar it. how
do i make a copy of a cd without causing any format differences?
null

Here is how I did it!
1.Get mkisofs onto your linux box,
2.copy the tar onto your linux box (or smb mount the an nt share)
3.tar -zxvf [tar name] in a new directory
4. mkisoft -r [DIRNAME you just used] {NAME OF ISOIMAGE}
you now have an iso image containg oracle with rock ridge
extentions
copy this on to nt and write to cd

    I have a Verbatim 2TB external USB 3.0 drive plugged into the PC.  It's used for both my weekly image backups as well as my nightly data backups.  I have one of these on EACH machine in my environment, for backups local to that machine.  I also use them on machines I build for friends and family, as everybody needs a backup system for "priceless data".
    Actually, to be a bit more complete, my "data" backups consists of two parts: (1) 1st-of-the-month FULL backups of all my data, and (2) nightly INCREMENTAL backups which handles anything created/changed in the past 24 hours.  Thus a "backup set" consists of the beginning FULL backup coupled with the ever-growing throughout-the-month set of nightly INCREMENTAL backups.
    NovaBACKUP can handle all of this if you need to recover something, so you yourself don't need to know exactly which backup file your file is located on.  You simply identify the folder/file(s) you wish to recover, and the AS-OF date you want for that file (with "as of the latest version available" being the default).  If you want to recover an older version than the most current version, you simply slide a GUI time-slider backwards until you arrive at the as-of date you desire.  NovaBACKUP then figures out where the most current version is AS OF THE DESIRED DATE, and accesses that one-or-more backup files in order to complete your task.
    I retain multiple "backup sets" (going back 4 complete months), so I can recover any folder/file(s) I had available on any specific night during the past 4 months.  Most commonly of course it's typically "get me the most current version available as of last night", but just in case that version is corrupt or I truly want an earlier version, I can get it easily.

  • Steps to export and import oracle 10g databse from AIX to AIX and LINUX

    Hi,
    I need the steps to export the oracle 10g database from AIX server to AIX server and LINUX server.
    Please give me all the steps as this is my first exort an import activity.
    thanks,

    For 10g there exist two ways to do so.
    1) Regular exp/imp.
    2) Data pump expdp/impdp.
    As this is your first export and import activity, relevant concept understanding is mandatory for you.
    Documentation Link
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/toc.htm
    Read the chapters 1,2,3 (Data pump expdp/impdp) and 19 (regular exp/imp). Good luck.

  • How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?

    How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?
    Let's say the SQL Server and Oracle Database are in the same Company Internet Network.
    I have the code, but I do not know how to use it. Such as what is System DSN Name? Where could I get it. What does it look like?
    Do I need to install any Oracle Client Software in order to link from SQL Server to Oracle? Or SQL Server has the built-in drivers installed already that I can directly create a Linked Server from SQL Server to Oracle?
    I need to know details. Thanks.

    You need an OLE DB provider for Oracle. There is one that ships with Windows, but it only supports very old versions of Oracle. Oracle has an OLE DB provider that you can use. I don't know if it's part of Oracle Client or how it is bundled.
    You should not use MSDASQL or any DSN.

  • Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold  backup ?

    Hi Friends,
    Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold  backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
    (or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here  - Transporting Data Across Platforms
    (or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
    Regards,
    DB

    HI
    his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
    Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
    To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
    List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
    The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
    1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
    2. Start the database in read only mode
    3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
    4. Check if there are any external objects
    5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
    6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
    7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
    8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
    9. Execute the Transport Script
    10.Change the Database ID
    11.Check database integrity

    i already create new user that have access to oracle middleware home (not ROOT user)
    Any idea on this problem?
    Thanks a lot

    Dear John,
    Thanks for replying
    i've downloaded and extracted all files on edelivery.oracle.com sections Oracle EPM (11.1.2.0.0) Media Pack for Linux x86-64.
    1st symptoms : i've installed it all, at the first attempt, Oracle HTTP Server always failed to install. But on the 2nd try it succeeded (install only oracle http server), so i assumed all part already installed well.
    2nd symptoms : after installation, there is config button on the GUI, but after i click it, it only closed the GUI, and nothing happen. So i running configtool.sh from config directories. and it show the error.
    For user account, already have full access to relevant directories.
    I checked on every logs folder on hyperion home, there is no related logs for this installation. any idea where the install log is?
    I can't find "oracle_common" folder, i think this is the root cause, because the error logs referring to jar files from this folder
    Thanks

  • Login to Oracle 8i Server from a remote location.

    Hi Experts,
    I wish to connect to Oracle 8i Server at Site 1 from Site 2.
    Situation
    Site 1     -     Oracle 8i on Win 2K. This is behind a firewall FW1. Is in Win NT Domain1.
    Site 2     -     Oracle 8i Client on Win 98. This is also behind (a separate) firewall FW2. Is in Win NT Domain2. There is no oracle instance running at Site 2.
    Also -
    a. There is a secure VPN between Site 1 and 2 (through separate Firewalls. one at each site).
    b. Site 1 and Site 2 use different set of IP-Address and also different set of Subnet Mask.
    c. Both, the Client at Site 2 & Oracle 8i Server at Site 1, are able to ping each other successfully.
    d. As there is no oracle database at Site 2, a Database Link cannot be created.
    At Site 2, I have tried the following -
    1. Installed Oracle 8i Client.
    Configured the tnsnames.ora file.
    The Port used is 1521.
    Tried to connect from SQL*Plus but do not connect.
    2. Installed development version of Oracle Forms 6i (surely after removing Oracle 8i client).
    This also installs SQL*Plus.
    Configured the tnsnames.ora file.
    The Port used is 1521.
    Tried to connect from SQL*Plus but do not connect.
    Tried to connect from Oracle Forms 6i but login fails.
    However, other Win98 clients (of Win NT Domain1) at Site 1 use the same settings of tnsnames.ora file to connect to the Oracle 8i Server.
    3. Changed the IP address (of Win98 client at Site 2) to become a member of Win NT domain1 (same domain as that of Oracle 8i Server).
    Repeated the above steps 1 & 2 but login still fails.
    What more needs to be done?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Lokesh

    Hi Fredrik,
    You r right. But I have its entry in tnsnames.ora file. The entry looks like this -
    My_Service_Name.world =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS =
    (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
    (PROTOCOL = TCP)
    (Server = Computer_Name_of_Server_having_Ora8i)
    (Host = IP_Add_of_Server_having_Ora8i)
    (Port = 1521)
    (Pipe = ORAPIPE)
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)
    The same entry exists in the tnsnames.ora file on the local PCs (same office where the Oracle 8i Server is present) at Site 1 and these PCs connect the server without any problem.
    Thanks

  • Cannot install 8.1.7 Linux Oracle

    Hi,
    I downloaded the 8.1.7 Oracle linux version from ORacle.com.
    But when i tried to install it it does not work.
    I created the oracle and apache users.
    I de-tared the file on the hard disk.
    - I can launch X11 apps from the user oracle (so it's not a problem with the DISPLAY) -
    I launched the exe runInstaller but nothing appeared and no error message. The lonely message is :
    Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait...
    And I still wait...
    So I asked for questions such as :
    - What version of jre should I use ? The installer seems to have one
    - And if I need one how must I install it ? Should I set a link jre in the /usr/local. Or set the path to the jre in the PATH variable environnement.
    - The documentation given with the version is not clear at all about this subject.
    Thanks for all informations cause I'm lost.

    Here is a link to a site with instructions that I used to install Oracle 8.1.7 on a Linux Server running using Glibc 2.2
    http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/817.html
    This site indicates that you need to use jdk118_v3-glibc-2.1.3.tar.bz2 from www.blackdown.org. Although I have heard of people using IBM's Java as well. Furthermore, Sun has a java implementation that works as well. Just make sure you obtain the right version. I recomend reading the installation documenation that comes with Oracle 8.1.7. It tells you what java version to use. I believe Oracle recommends Sun's java implemenation for Oracle 8.1.7 on the Linux Platform.

  • Creating an Oracle connection in Net WCF using ODAC causes Exception

    Why am I getting a 'System.TypeInitializationException' when I create an Oracle connection in my .Net WCF web service?
    =========================================================================
    I'm currently working on implementing a WCF service which talks to an Oracle 10g database on the backend. When I attempt to connect to the database from within my service, I get the following exception: System.TypeInitializationException.
    •I'm running on a windows 7 (64 bit machine).
    •I'm using VS 2010.
    •I'm using Oracle 10g on the backend.
    I'm the Oracle.DataAccess.dll (ODP.Net) from the following installed instance
    c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\.....\ODP.NET\bin\1.x\Oracle.DataAccess.dll
    •I've included this DLL in the references for my WCF service.
    •I've included this service as a project within my VS WPF solution.
    •The service starts up automatically when I start my WPF application in VS 2010.
    At runtime I see the following output in my debug output window:
    'WcfSvcHost.exe' (Managed (v4.0.30319)): Loaded 'C:\Windows\assembly\GAC\Oracle.DataAccess\1.102.2.20__89b483f429c47342\Oracle.DataAccess.dll' A first chance exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occurred in Oracle.DataAccess.dll
    Sure enough, I look at the exception details in the debugger and I see the following information (this occurs when I attempt to create a new ORACLE connection):
    "The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw an exception." InnerException {"The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client"} System.Exception {Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException}
    A Little Background:
    I'm basically migrating my data layer to a WCF service. The same service layer previously existed in a WinForm application. Everything works fine in my WinForm application. I include the same reference to the Oracle.DataAccess.dll and all my reads/writes with the database work fine.
    Is there something obviously different between the WCF and WinForm access/use of the DLL? Is there some limitation I'm unaware of? Is there an issue running this through VS2010 in the debugger?
    I have absolutely no idea what is going on here. Any hints/direction would be greatly appreciated.

    It's certainly possible to install .NET 1.x on the machine while still using VS 2010, but MS does not support and most likely never tested this combination. Running .NET Framework 1.x on Windows 7 also is not supported. I didn't know you had successfully used this combination previously. Nonetheless, it's good to be on a supported combination that has been certified by MS and Oracle if you run into a problem.
    I had another reason to ask you to upgrade to ODP.NET 11.2 As it will be the last version installed, ODP.NET's unmanaged DLLs will appear in your PATH first. The error you see is typical when ODP.NET from one version tries to use DLLs from another Oracle instance installed on your machine.
    If that doesn't work, set the DllPath setting in your web.config file to the BIN directory of your newly installed Oracle Client. Here's an example of that:

  • Cannot connect to Oracle 11gR2 database from SQL Server 2005

    Both SQL Server (Windows) and Oracle (Linux) are in 64bit environments.
    I have done the following on a Windows 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2005:
    Install InstantClient from Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) to C:\Oracle
    Install oledb from 64-bit ODAC 11.2 Release 3 (11.2.0.2.1) for Windows x64 by executing install.bat oledb c:\oracle odac
    Note: Not sure whether 11.2.0.2.1 version of ODAC will cause any problem since I cannot find 11.2.0.1.0 version.
    I have checked the Allow inprocess of OraOLEDB.Oracle provider in SSMS.
    I have executed sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'ORACLE_TEST', @srvproduct = 'Oracle', @provider = 'OraOLEDB.Oracle', @datasrc = '##.##.##.##:1521/TEST'
    The ##.##.##.## is the ip address of the Linux server which has the Oracle 11gR2 database TEST.
    I have executed sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'ORACLE_TEST', @useself = 'FALSE', @rmtuser = 'xxxx', @rmtpassword = 'yyyy'
    The xxxx is the oracle username and yyyy is the password for the oracle user xxxx.
    I know the oracle database TEST is up since I have setup connection in Oracle SQL Developer having:
    ##.##.##.## as the hostname
    1521 as the Port
    xxxx as the username
    yyyy as the password
    TEST as the service name
    When I click Test Connection for the linked server ORACLE_TEST in SSMS, it just hang.
    When I issue a query like select count(*) from oracle_test..xxxx.table1, it just run forever. I'm not so sure how to query an oracle table. I have also tried select count(*) from oracle_test.xxxx.xxxx.table1.
    When I retype the password in the Linked Server Properties, it just run forever.
    Do I need to create a tnsnames.ora on the Windows machine?
    Do I need to change the tnsnames.ora on Linux machine?
    I'm very new to Oracle.

    This forum is dealing with connections from an Oracle database to SQL Server - so the Oracle database is the driving site and this is the way round from your linked server set up.
    As you're suing the instant client you might post your issue in the instant client forum:

    From your cross-posted thread in SQL-PL/SQL:
    My system gets too slow when i use windows + oracle db.
    I wonder what you are doing there.  I run 3 virtual linux machines simultaneously on my Win 7 laptop and have no performance issues.
    And, mostly it gets hanged.
    Totally devoid of useful information
    More than that, i do no tlike the win environment.
    I'm no fan of MS, but if you want a *nix system, you'd better be prepared to become a sys admin.  As others have said, and just like a company deciding on fundamental architectures, you have to ask yourself about available skill set.

    Then on the Linux server I have the following tnsnames.ora:
    TG4MSQL.DOMAIN.NAME =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <MS SQL IP ADDRESS>)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID = tg4msql))
    I then created a database link on the Linux Oracle server:
    CODE
    create database link tg4msql connect to "sa"
    identified by "password" using 'tg4msql';
    I then tried a:
    CODE
    select * from all_catalog@tg4msql;
    and get:
    Ora-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
    Unable to retrieve text of NEWTORK/NCR message 12571
    ORA-02063: preceeding 2 lines for TG4MSQL
    I feel I have done everything I have read but its not very clear where everything has to be put or how it all ties together.
    Any help would be useful!
    Thanks.

    well I don't see how your ODBC driver on linux is configured. You need one (ODBC driver on linux, it's not there by "default") You can buy one or use a free one
    find it here
    http://www.unixodbc.org/
    then once you set up ODBC and able to connec to your SQL SERVER from command line using iSQL or TSQL from linux then do all these steps you described and it should work.
    I didn't have any problems setting it up, works like a charm
