Running Oracle 9i and 10g on same box

Hi Guys! :-)
I have a development box (Win2003) that I run one Oracle 9i home on, and I wish to install a 10g home aswell. I need to install the new Oracle 10g listener on a different port. Can someone please give me some directions / how to guide how to do that ? I'm using OUI to install.
I have tried searching this forum and Metalink, but didnt find any stuff that could help me..
I'm pretty new to Oralce, this may be a easy config matter.
Thanks
Best Regards
Orjan

Unless there is a compelling reason, I would encourage you to use one listener for ALL databases on the machine. The rule is that it needs to be the highest version
You have several options:
1) do a completely separate listener-only install into it's own home. Stop (and set to 'manual service') the 9i listener and start the 10g listener on port 1521. Re-register the 9i database using the 'alter system register' command.
2) install the listener as part of the 10g install. Stop the 9i listener and start the 10g listener on port 1521. Re-register the 9i database using the 'alter system register' command.
3) install the listener as part of the 10g install and modify the port on both the listener (see listener.ora) and the database's LOCAL_LISTENER parameter.
I prefer 1) simply because that allows you to upgrade/patch the listener totally independently from any DB version, while still leaving version -specific listeners around that can be used in an emergency.

Query for oracle 9i and 10g on same box

HI
All,
I have oracle 9i installed on one box it has
oracle home /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
and i am gonna install oracle 10g on different home /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0
Do I need to specify different location for OraInventory?
so what else I need to take care?
Thanks,
Vishal

So there should not be a problem if it is the same
orainventory location for both 9i and 10g right.There should be no problem.
can you throw more focus on below ?
When managing different oracle versions on the same
box you should take care of environment variables to
properly point to each ORACLE HOME and PATH, and
ensure different ports do not conflict.
For instance, you should use the Listener of the latest release on the server (in this case 10g) to services all the databases on that box 9both 9i and 10g).
When you want to startup and shutdown 9i database, you do not want to shutdown a 10g database by mistake. Hence, setting things like ORCLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID.
Also, Oracle Server make use of libraries. You do not want to mix up 9i and 10g libraries. hence take care when you set things like PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc
The same applies to all Environment variables you want to set on the server that has different oracle releases. You just need to ensure that when you logon, your variables are set correctly for the intended oracle release before you do anything.

How to install Oracle 9i in the same machine?
Regards
Mathew

Hi,
Do I have to create a seperate user (eg: oracleuser) for installing oracle 9i database software?
So at that time, by using
#usradd -u 1002 -g oinstall -G dba -d /oraeng/app/oracle/product/9/2/0 -m oracleuser
#chown -R oracleuser:oinstall /oraeng
I think the second command will change the ownership of the /oraeng direcory from 'oracle' user to 'oracleuser' user. 'oracle' user is created erlier for 10G installation

Oracle 11g and 12c on same windows 7 machine

Hi folks,
Want to try out 12c on my windows 7 laptop but still want to keep my 11g database.
Anyone tried running Oracle 11g and 12c on same windows machine?
Any links or guidelines are appreciated
Thanks

you won't be the first or the last person to try it.
this question can be easily answered but why question something that it's easier to test by yourself?
My advice: Try and if you have problems then question us.

Error Running Oracle Apps and Discoverer at the same time

Hello,
We are having trouble running Oracle Apps and Discoverer at the same time on certain user's machines. Here are the specifics:
The user opens Oracle Apps in Internet Explorer. The user then opens Discoverer in another Internet Explorer windows and receives the following error: Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe abnormal program termination
As a work around, I installed Firefox on those user's machines. These users run Oracle Apps in Internet Explorer and run Discoverer in FireFox. This has solved the problem in 99% of the cases. However, there is one user who is having FireFox using Discoverer freeze when running Oracle Apps in Internet Explorer.
Can anyone provide any insight on how I can solve these conflict issues so users can run Oracle Apps and Discoverer at the same time?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Carlos

Hi Michael,
I agree with you completely. It is reccommended to run 10g on a separate physical server unless you have sufficient resources to run on the same server (which even most large clients do not) Even then, I would recommend a separate server.
I should have put my comment in context :-)
a.) I was only stating that it was possible
and
b.) whether 10g is installed on the same physical server or separate should not affect the client browser crashing issue that was posted.
I do have an install with EBS11i and Discoverer 10g on the same physical server and it works fine (this is sandbox/ TEST). Most of my large customers have 10g installed on multiple physical servers due to load balancing (capacity).
I do work for Oracle. I try to help out on the forum when I can, but it is hit or miss :-(
I would be glad to discuss anything privately.
As for the issue at hand, I can reproduce the problem and here is what is occuring.
I have EBS 11i configured with Jiniator 1.3.24
I have Discoverer 10g configured with Sun Java plugin 1.4.2_06
1. If you launch EBS 11i apps and a form with MS IE, then the browser launches the form using Jiniator JRE 1.3.xx (whatever you have configured in AutoConfig for EBS11i)
2. Next, the user navigates to EBS 11i SSWA and launches a Discoverer workbook.
What occurs is a child IEXPLORE.exe process is spawned from the parent IEXPLORE.exe process and Discoveer Plus is launched. The parent iexplore.exe process will be attached to the Jiniator JVM. Now if Discoverer is configured with
a.) Sun Java Plugin or
b.)a version of Jinitiator that is a different version from what EBS 11i is configured with
then you may get this conflict.
It really is an MS IE/JRE conflict with Jinitiator and Sun Java Plugi and the way the broswers attaches to the JVM (IMHO) as this behaviour could be reproduced with other non-oracle java applets.
You can workaround the situation by:
a. configure EBS11i and Discoverer to use the same version of Jiniator 1.3.xx
b. educate the users to open one MS IE browser to connect to EBS11i and then open a second MS IE browser to login to EBS11i SSWA or Discoverer 10g Plus directly to launch workbooks. They need to to this by clicking on the icon and not using File >> New browser. Clicking on the icon will spawn a new parent iexplore.exe process that can attach to a second/different JVM. File >> New Window will spawan a child of the parent.
c. As you did use two browser versions. MS IE for EBS11 connection and FireFox for Disocverer 10g connection.
I would choose optoin b, so that you can use Sun Java Plugin with Discoverer.
Open to any comments. I hope that helps you workaround the problem. The ideal solution is to have EBS 11i use/cerified with the 1.4 or 1.5 JRE. In poking around, I see there is a related post to this on one of Oracle's EBS 11i Product Managers Blog.

Can we locate oracle 9i and 10g databases in same PC

hi all
wish U happy new year...
I have installed oracle 9i and 10g database ..but 10g database is not working it says TNS protocol adapter error or invalied username password...I stpeed the 9i services and listner in the 9i home...but 10g database is not working.9i and 10g databases are in two different partitions....
I want to know is it possible to running 9i and 190g database in same PC...if it's possible pls can you give me a solution for my problem
regards
Buddhike

when I was trying to up the database it is looking for another listener
and massage coming listener is not running...Not clear. The database does not look for a listener, maybe you got that error when trying to connect ?
Do you have a listener 10g service ? Did you start it ? If not, please try the following :
C:\> set ORACLE_HOME=<Your 10g Home>
C:\> set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
C:\> lsnrctl start
wait up to a minute, then execute
C:\> lsnrctl status
and post the result.

Running Oracle XE and Oracle enterprise on same windows machine

Hi,
I never had to try anything similar to this on windows. I need to continue to run Oracle Enterprise edition and Oracle XE on my windows machine.
I can install both, but when I try to run the Listener for XE Edition, it starts the listener for the enterprise edition.
Also the DB Homepage doesnt work, which leads me to believe that it might be using some fo the enterprise files, not the XE files.
I cant access the XE forum, because I cant register, so sorry for posting this here. I cant seem to find a place that mentions or explains how you can run both on a Windows box.
I have run multiple oracle versions on Unix, just never on windows...

On the windows case, the order of evaluation is taken from the PATH environment variable. This same rule applies when you have several Oracle products installed on the same box, ensure you are launching a tool that makes sense with its home, i.e. launching netca to configure a tnsentry at the XE home will not work since XE doesn't have a netca tool and the tnsora file it will be modifying will be that of the oracle home it is related to. On the other hand, when lauching sqlplus it would not be too dangerous since any compatible version of sqlplus will work.
There are issues with the listener, Oracle XE requires to be registered against the listener, additionally it will create an OraDAV access (http protocol) to open the access to the Web Administration Console. If you are planning to use web/plsql application this is also important. It can work with the other listener, but depending on your particular conditions you may want to start an independent listener for XE.

Are there any problems running oracle database express 10g and iis together

Are there any problems running oracle database express 10g on an windows 2000 server or advanced server running iis 5?
Does oracle database express cause any conflicts with iis (because of used ports etc)
Could an server have running on it, both an website using iis and an oracle database express website without conflicts?

I would not expect a problem under normal circumstances.
Oracle's listener is set for a default port 1521 for database requests, port 8080 for HTMLDB requests. The database connections generally find an empty port above 1024 when establishing a connection.
So, if IIS does not want to use 1521 or 8080, you will generally see no challenges. Even then it is fairly easy to move ORacle's port requirements elsewhere.
Using port 8080 seems reasonably common, but that is easily changed - search for sethttpport in this forum. IIS tromping on 1521 would be rare as it has been a well known Oracle service port since, roughly, forever.

Issue with .profile for oracle 9i and 10g

Here I have six oracle 9i databases on one box. I am going to upgrade five of them to oracle 10g and want to keep one database RCAT in oracle 9i for one or two week.
So, when I do upgrade I have to setup oracle home for 10g and also profile for oracle user for 10g (correct me if I m wrong). But now I want one database RCAT on oracle 9i. How can I take care of this.
I mean how I will handle profile and all other thing for oracle 9i and 10g at the same time.
Thanks,
Vishal

Install 10g under the same OS user as 9i, of course on a different Oracle Home. Then you configure your .profile consequently. Just as an example, this is my .bash_profile with 10g and 11g with the same oracle OS user :
[oracle@linux5 ~]$ cat .bash_profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc

9i and 10g on same host

Hi folks,
i am just trying to run 9i and 10g on same host (sun solaris 5.9)
I created 2 different oracle users on os level for installation and management of those 2 instances.
There is no problem with it, but i am just curious. would it be better to run them both with the same account?
or is it better to have 2 separete accounts for each of them?
just want to hear expert's opinion about this, Thanks in advance.

or is it better to have 2 separete accounts for each of them?It depends on Your needs. Both ways are ok. Easier is to manage if both oracle homes are under the same account, because then it's easier to upgrade database, maybe in future You will want just one oracle home and so on.
But if for example You are running on the same machine test and dev envs, then it's somewhat normal to separete and then there is no dependency between envs and You can for example upgrade dev without touching test (that can be achieved with simple 2 different oracle_homes, but with two different users as well).

Oracle 9i and 10g in one computer

Could I install oracle 10g in computer where 9i is instaled. I want that both oracle is instal and test oracle 9i and 10g. Could I run oracle database 9i and 10g together and I use both of the database?
Thanks for answer.
Rafal Dmitrowski

I would also suggest caution if you have a Windows server. While it is certainly possible to have both running, there are some issues with separate 9i and 10g homes on a Windows machine, things like the Oracle Home Selector doesn't work with 10g Oracle Homes. I wouldn't be overly concerned if you are dealing with development laptops, but I would make sure to do some testing before installing 10g on a production server with 9i already installed.

How SMON coalesces free space in oracle 9i and 10g

how SMON coalesces free space in oracle 9i and 10g?
Is it doing same as it was behaving in oracle 7 like looking through free extent table every five minutes (sys.fet$) to see if there are any adjacent free extents that can be coalesced into a single extent, and on every 25th cycle (i.e. every two hours and five minutes) it looks at the segment table (sys.seg$) to see if there are any temporary segments that need to be eliminated, as explained by jonathan lewis?
what are extent and segment tables available in oracle 9i and 10g like sys.fet$ and sys.seg$ in oracle7?

Data Replication between Oracle 9i and 10g

Hello,
I have a question regarding possible Replication Models between Oracle 9i and 10g. Does anybody know a possible way to syncronize the schema data between a 9i and 10g database in realtime?
If yes can you please post perhaps a link with a kind of how to?
Many thanks to all,
Bob...

You can read this metalink note 370850.1 - there are bit more ways of replication discussed.
Yes, platforms can be different, but recomendation is to use the same platform for both databases.

Oracle 9i and 10G professionals required

Hi All,
A company in Tanzania is looking for Oracle 9i and 10G professionals for immediate requirement. Those who are looking for change and has 4 to 5 years experience can send in your resumes to [email protected] Indians are preffered. Mention "ORJOB#040820081411" in the subject.
Kindly send in your resume as early as possible.
Thank you.

You can try setting the SGA to a low value and bring up both the databases. I don't think it should be too slow provided you are not running other windows programs.
If you are really interested in trying out new products you can also explore the option of installing VMware, creating virtual machines & installing Linux, and then playing with the different Oracle products. Doing this will at least keep your main windows operating system clean.
