Run Oracle under Linux

Hi
I am a newbie on Linux environment, now I am using Redhat AS 2.1. I've just finished installed oracle 9i on my Linux and it went successfully.
The problem is, I can't find the Oracle menu on my Redhat GUI (as in Windows), so I need a guidance of how to access & run my oracle on my Linux.
any helps / clues will be appreciated
thx

Hi,
The installation on Linux doesn't create icons on the GUI as in Windows environment.
You can run the tools and the sqlplus from a terminal.
The tools should be find in: /your oraclehome/bin
Use oemapp to load Enterprise Manager and other tools to create, modify users, instances, etc.
Good Luck!!

Hi,
Anyone has managed to run Oracle on Linux VMware kit in runlevel 3 instead of 5, i.e. no GUI.

I have managed to run Redhat linux in run level 3, by editing /etc/inittab and change the run level to 3.

What others do who use eclipse under Linux?Is it work well?

Reduce number of running thread under Linux

Hello,
How can reduce the number of running thread for coldfusion MX
7.0.2 server under Linux (they are almost 30; )

If you create a pool of any sort you will need a point where all requests for a resource from the pool must go via, and that piece of code could potentially become a bottle neck. But if you develop it well there will be a very small piece of code that is sychrnonized that will either put a request in a queue as there are no resources available, or it will provide the requested resource. As far as i am aware there is no safe way around this as you will have multiple threads requesting the resource.

Running a jar vs running classes under Linux

I still can't figure this out.
I have a jar file that I am trying to run on my Linux server.
The jar file runs on my local machine.
If I try to run the jar file on the linux box I get -
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
javax/sql/ConnectionPoolDataSource
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:120)
If I un jar the file, all classes run correctly.
I have explicitly set the classpath from the command line on each try. Can anyone explain why it works one way and not the other?

Thank you for your help. HOW DO I DO THAT?
And, If I don't already have that information in the jar manifest, why does the jar work on my other machines?
And, I thought the reason you would jar the files up is to make it easy to port to other systems. If I have to change the manifest for each machine that doesn't make it very portable.
I am really frustrated with it and can't seem to find the solution.

Trouble Running Oracle on Linux --- newbie

I've installed Oracle on my linux system with a few errors at the end, which the installer assured me that those errors will not affect my installation (some sort of services errors).
So what do I do now?
I'm well versed with SQL and have been working with database systems for years... but getting oracle running has be a pain in my neck.
Here are a few issues... numbered for your reply convenience:
1)What file do you run to start the daemon? One would think that since this version is made to run on linux, the standard <name>d daemon naming would be expected (oracled, much like mysqld).. but I find nothing. I'm looked through the quick install and the install guides, and I must be missing something. They explain how to use everything to use oracle... but they don't say how to start the darn thing.
2)What is the ORACLE_HOME directory? The install would not allow me to run as root, so I had to run as one of the users. It then asked for an inventory directory which it said would house all my oracle products.. (/usr/local/oraInventory).. yet.. it tried to use /home/johnt/Oracle_Home1 for something.. I would assume oracle. Why would it try to install a product in my home directory rather than the inventory directory I just gave it??? What are these directories for? Your install language needs a little help. Is Oracle_Home1 supposed to be my first oracle product? Meaning if I purchase another then it will be install in Oracle_Home2? Not intuitive naming. Is this simply the single user's environment? Meaning that this is duplicated in every users directory? That would take up a hell of a lot of space.
3)Half of the programs I try to run say that ORACLE_HOME isn't found. Yet I have followed the install guides as to how to set the variable yet it still doesn't find it. I assumed that my Oracle_Home1 directory was the ORACLE_HOME directory... but since that didn't work, I tried setting it to the oraInventory directory (the one which the installation said the oracle products would be installed.. or housed.. which would make it a home, right?) and it still did not work. What am I doing wrong?

Connected to an idle instance.This message means that your DB is not running, or ORACLE_SID environment variable is not set properly. Be sure that ORACLE_SID has correct value, then, if you get that message, type "startup".

How to properly set the environment for user oracle under Linux

Hi,
Every time I install XE on Linux somewhere, I repeat these steps (along with [fixing the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe startup script|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=843780&tstart=0]), so I thought, why not contribute this to the community.
Those who have installed XE on Linux know that, after installation, logging in as user oracle gets you in a
$cryptic prompt. On top of that, none of the essential environment variables are set. Not amusing. That's because the oracle user lacks the proper configuration files for the bash prompt. Log in as user oracle and create these:
.bashrc
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi.bash_profile
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
. /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.sh
unset USERNAME.bash_logout
clearNow log out and then log in again - a nicer prompt, and all environment variables are set, ready to run sqlplus, imp, etc.
This should help make your overall XE experience on Linux easier. Regards,
Georger

Nice. I checked the .bash_profile of my oracle installation and this is what I can contribute (I got the additional stuff from some tests with other Oracle Versions):
# /etc/skel/.bash_profile
# This file is sourced by bash for login shells. The following line
# runs your .bashrc and is recommended by the bash info pages.
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
# Oracle Profile Settings
if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
   source /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.sh
   if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
      ulimit -p 16384
      ulimit -n 65536
   else
      ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
   fi

Do you recommend vxfs to run Oracle on Linux?

We are a fortune 500 company and we are implementing Linux for an archive system with a liklihood of implementing it in many other areas. We are considering running it on vxfs (Veritas File System). If we implement the vxfs/volume manager across the company, it will cost us a pretty penny. Appx $5,000 per box.
Why not just run on ext3? Could someone please give me some pros and cons and some recommendations?
Thanks.

Expand VMDK Mount in Oracle Enterprise Linux

I have a VM that is running Oracle Enterprise Linux. I'd like to expand a mount but i'm not quite sure how. It's running the following version:
Linux version 2.6.39-200.32.1.el5uek ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52)) #1 SMP Wed Sep 26 21:00:27 PDT 2012

It's usually a good idea to test everything . The pvcreate command is not necessary. The following is a protocol of extending the LVM root volume of Oracle Linux 5.8 under VirtualBox. The same will also work for VMWare. The whole process took only a couple of minutes.

Diffrence in running oracle on 32 bit OS and 64 bit OS ?

Hi ,
I am new to oracle , i would like to know what's the diffrence running oracle under 32 bit OS and 64 bit OS

i would like to know what's the diffrence running oracle under 32 bit OS and 64 bit OSWhat type of differences are you looking for? Basic one being you run 32 bit version of Oracle under 32 bit OS and 64 bit version under 64 bit OS.
Other being the availability of addressable memory in 32 and 64 bit versions (but that is more of an hardware level issue).

Exception in html parser under Linux

Hi all,
Following code is copied from Tech Tip 23Sep1999. I have compiled it and run it under Win98. It works fine for any uri. However, when I try to run it under Linux, it throws exceptions. I noticed that some web site can be parsered with the program in Linux but some can't. I wonder the different between those platforms. Anyone can tell me how to make the program works under Linux.

SubNotFoundException under Linux not under Windows

Hi,
I got a RMI client server application. The server runs normal on my windows machine with JRE 1.5. But when I want to run it on my linux server with JRE 1.4, I get the following error:
java.rmi.StubNotFoundException: Stub class not found: .....
I used an Ant Build.xml file to create jar (2 --> 1 remote.jar and 1 server.jar) files. In the javac I set the target to 1.1. In rmic I used stubversion and set to 1.1. All my remote objects are in a seperate jar file that is included in my path when I start my server. I start my server with a bat and a sh file.
run.bat (under Windows)
set CPBEFORE=%CLASSPATH%
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;PpdaRemote.jar
start rmiregistry 10001 -J- Djava.rmi.server.hostname=willemc
set CLASSPATH=%CPBEFORE%;
java -jar PpdaServer.jar
run.sh (under Linux)
CPBEFORE=$CLASSPATH
export CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:PpdaRemote.jar"
rmiregistry 10001 -J- Djava.rmi.server.hostname=willemc &
export CLASSPATH=$CPBEFORE
java -jar PpdaServer.jar
Can anybody think of a solution for this. I have been working on it for a couple of hours. Upgrading my server to 1.5 is not possible (it's a sgi server).
Thanks,
Willem

Nevermind. Fixed my own problem.
