Separate Oracle Software and Databases?

I need to install the Oracle application software to one disk volume, and allow Oracle to store it's databases on another distinct disk volume. I'm also doing this with a headless response file. I initially thought that the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE settings in the response file may be what I need:
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
However, since ORACLE_HOME is a subdirectory of ORACLE_BASE, I can't mount both locations to different volumes.
How can I do this?

Doug.Oracle datafiles do NOT need to reside under ORACLE_BASE

Different software and database user

I want to install oracle software and oracle database on two difference user
Software user: orasoft
Primary group: oinstall
Secondary group: dba
User Home: /u01/orasoft
$ORACLE_HOME=/u00/app/oracle/product/10.2.0
/u00: owner: orasoft:oinstall permission 775 (before installing software)
Database User: oradb
Primary group: dba
Secondary group: oinstall
User Home: /u01/oradb
In this scenario,
Software is getting installed perfectly; I’m getting permissions issue for creating database
1. Do I need to change the $ORACLE_HOME permissions to 775 after software installation for the database to get installed without any issue?
2. if I do this, then the permission executables also gets changed to rwx-rwx-rx.

Hi,
First of all, I cannot really see the concept behind the user management how you have assigned orasoft and oradb users to oinstall and dba groups.
Why cannot oinstall be the primary for both users and dba is the secondary? As well as what OS group do you plan to be the sysdba and sysoper groups?
Second of all what do you mean by:

Connect to different Oracle server and database in PL/SQL code

Hi,
There are two oracle servers and databese, A and B. I need to read data from database A and insert those data to databse B. Is there anyway I can do it in PL/SQL program?
Regards,
Shiva

In a SQL*Plus session, [connect string] is generally a TNS alias (i.e. in the command "connect scott/tiger@orcl", orcl is a TNS alias). I don't know if it is possible in some release to have a fully qualifies TNS entry (i.e. connect scott/tiger@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(...)) ), but it is certainly uncommon. Depending on the version of Oracle, there are various ways to configure a client to resolve a TNS alias, but local naming is the most common, so I'll assume that is what you're using...
If you are trying to query a remote database, you would either have to
- Create a database link (i.e. CREATE DATABASE LINK db_link_name ...) and refer to the database link name in your SQL statement
- Embed the full TNS entry in your query (i.e. SELECT * FROM emp@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=( .. .)) )
If you choose to create the database link, one of the things you have to specify is the TNS alias (or the fully qualified TNS entry). If you specify a TNS alias there, you would generally have to ensure that the TNS alias existed in the tnsnames.ora file on the database server where the database link is created.

General questions on how to get started with Oracle OEPE and databases

My company has a server in the cloud, written using Ruby on Rails. The server is designed to work with a browser, so it communicates via standard HTTP.
The server has an SQL database.
The server sends and receives HTTP requests from clients, which are then used to either update the database or retrieve information from the database.
The database can be edited from a separate admin dashboard.
I have recently rewritten our client software as a native android app. The new app makes calls to the server that look like browser calls. I have used Eclipse to develop the Android app.
Sounds pretty standard so far, right? :-)
I now want to replace the Ruby on Rails server with a new Java server that I will write. I want to use Eclipse to develop the new server. During development, I want to be able to have the new Android app communicate with the development server software that will reside on my desktop.
So I was thinking that Oracle's tools might be perfect for me, if only I knew which tools to use. There are lot to choose from. :-)
I believe that all I need is OEPE and a database. I would like to keep it pretty simple. I don't want to learn 20 new tools. It will be enough effort to become proficient in OEPE and a database.
I looked at "Oracle Database Tools >> Connecting to an Oracle database" in the help files for OEPE 12.1.1. I tried going through the help files for Database connections, but I got to a "New Connection Profile" form that asks me for a SID, a user name, a password, etc. I don't have any of those. I tried to enter some data in the forms and ping the database, but I could not get any results from the ping. So my first question is: Do I have to sign up for an Oracle database in the cloud or is there a database contained within the OEPE software that I just installed. I will have to do the former anyway when I eventually deploy my new server software, so maybe the right thing to do is sign up for the "database in the cloud" service now, and use it during development.
The other question I have is about getting a simple application client and server application sample. I found a "hello world" example at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13224_01/wlw/docs103/guide/webapplications/workshopJSP/tutorialJSP/TutorialJSPMakeJSP.html, but that is for WLS 10.3 and it doesn't seem to match the 12.1.1 software very well.
So does anybody know where I can find a simple client and server sample program for WLS 12.1.1?
If I can get these two questions answered, I can start making some progress.
Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me navigate this minefield.
Jim

I wanted to add some information to my previous posting.
1. The server I will develop will communicate ONLY with Android and iOS native apps, so the interface will not be HTML or XML. The information sent by the server to the client will be JSON. The information sent by the client to the server will be HTTP parameters, usually in the form of URL-encoded form data. This is not a browser-to-server server interface, so JSP is probably not appropriate for the server. The communication protocol will be HTTP.
2. I don't need anything fancy on the server side. The server will simply be a Java program that emits JSON responses to the client and receives URL-encoded form data from the client. The server program will also make database queries and update the database.
3. I don't understand how my native Android app will be able to communicate with my development server code running on my desktop. I want that communication to be over the internet, but my desktop does not have a static IP address, so I don't see how the app will be able to address the development server software on my desktop PC. I don't want to deploy the server software into the cloud every time I start a debug run, but I don't see any other way for my app to be able to address the server code over the Internet.
If anybody has any ideas, I would appreciate hearing them.

32 bit Oracle Software and OS on a 64 bit server.

Does anyone know what would happen or has run into a case where a client site has installed Windows 2003 server 32 bit and Oracle for Windows 32 bit on a Dell 64 bit Windows server?
Here's what we are seeing. Oracle is unable to go past the the 2G limit, but we added the /3G switch and got above 2G but below 3G. On the windows task manager, windows is not even tasking the hardware and memory. In Oracle, it's showing an issue with virtual memory in the EM with a 100% impact. "consider addin more physical memory to host". Also in the EM, when you click on the host name link off the home page, you get a page filled with errors. It's like it not able to pull information from the system. The database is up and functioning, but it's not running well. Due to the fact that this is a production box, it's not likely that in any time will we have them start over and rebuild the box. Any ideas as to what can be done or looked at to help? Does these issues sound indicative of the hardware and software combination the've got.
Thanks,
Mike

How do you get the 32bit client to communicate with the 64bit Oracle instance on the same windows box? After installing the 64 bit db and client (on a developer desktop), I installed the 32 bit client to a different oracle home. I could not get it to connect to the listener - what am I doing wrong? Should I reinstall it to the 64bit home - I'm afraid that'll kill everything though.
Also, I think I'm correct in this, but not sure: any 32bit app must use the 32bit client on the 64bit box. MS Access needs 32bit ODBC, which needs 32bit client, etc.
Thx,
Jeff

What are the differences between Oracle AS and Database Server?

Hi
I have quesstions:
1- what are the main differnces between Oracle Application Server 10g and Oracle Database Server 10g ?
2- does the oracle J developer 10g come with Oracle application server or comes standalone?
3- is there any integration between the three above application , and how it are working together?
thanks
Suhaib

1) At its simplest level a Database Server is a database so for storing data and an application server is for running the applications (which will probably access the data in the database server).
2) JDeveloper comes stand alone or as part of the Oracle Developer Suite which is a collection of tools for building applications.
3) Yes they are integrated. More details on otn.oracle.com/products/ias

Oracle ASM and Database are coming up at the same time and running into ERR

We have Oracle 11G Grid Infrastructure and Oracle 10.2.0.4 running under grid user and oracle user.
Its AIX 61 LPAR.
I am running into this error when we do a reboot.
2010-07-22 19:21:48.581: [ RACG][1310] [667728][1310][ora.maksbx1.MAKSBX11.inst]: SQL> ORA-01565: error in identifying file '+MAKSBX01_DATA_DG1/maksbx1

This is from $ORACLE_HOME/log/srvrname/racg/init<instanace>.log
After the reboot, wait for 5 min and if I run this command
srvctl start database -d MAKSBX1 -- DB Comes up with out any error.
What this tells me is, after the reboot, CRS/ASM is coming up and at the same time DB is also trying to come up and resulting in error.
Question is:
Where can I put a sleep 90 or 180 so that DB will come only after ASM is completely up. We didn't write or create any startup scripts for AIX, what ever is there is coming from Oracle 11g Grid and ORacle 10g Database.
Can some one please point me where I can find those init scripts and where i should either put sleep or dependency so that they don't collide.

Hi,
please make sure that you have exported right SID
ORA-17503: ksfdopn:2 Failed to open file +MAKSBX01_DATA_DG1/maksbx1/spfileMAKSBX1.ora
echo $ORACLE_SIDand also export ORACLE_SID=+ASM1
$asmcmd
asmcmd> cd MAKSBX01_DATA_DG1
asmcmd> cd maksbx1
and check for spfileMAKSBX1.ora
ORA-17503: ksfdopn:string Failed to open file string
Cause: file open failed due to either insufficient OS permission or the name of file exceeds maximum file name length.
Thanks
So you are able to connect later using SRVCTL, hmmmm

Oracle Streams and Database Encryption

I am looking for encryption method for OLTP database.
Oracle Streams will be used to synchronize the data between source and remote database.
Business process wants all remote database to be fully encrypted.
What Can I use?
- TDE is not supported with Oracle Streams,
- I cant use DBMS_CRYPTO since it needs big Database modifications.
Any other Oracle supported techniques, or maybe Im gonna need to consider hardware encryption (like hard disk encryption) or OS level encryption.
Thanks,

TDE is not supported with LogMiner based technologies such as Streams, Data Guard (logical standby). Therefore you can not use TDE to replicated encrypted content. --You will get exception "Unsupported data type"
But, you might replicate decrypted data into encrypted destination. This means your destination might have TDE encrypted columns.
Unofficially Oracle will support TDE with logminer based technologies in the next database version 11.
I am waiting for this.

Mike

Oracle 9i and Database Release 2

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knows approximately when the Oracle
9i Database Release 2 (w/ XDB) is said to be available. Also, I
was wondering how it will be available, such as a download
(patch), the whole product or some other way.
If possible, can you tell me if it is worth upgrading to 9i now
or wait until a little later?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Sincerely,

Separate UI logic and database operation

Hi,
For better performance i want to separate UI logic that is within PAI event and my application logic that is insert operation.
any good idea?? shall i use function module??
Thanks
Regards,
Virat

Hi,
There will not any performance issue as such as all the code will be executed by the same Dialog workprocess in the application server.
But it is alwys good to keep you flow logic and application logic seperated, so flow logic just calls the methods and the methods are in a different component like a static method of a class or function module in a function group.
Best thing is Function Group as you can have screens in a Function pool.

Uninstalling Oracle RAC 11gR2 GI and Database Software

I currently administer several 11gR2 RAC clusters, all hosted on IBM pSeries servers running AIX 6.1. I need to decommission one RAC cluster so that the hardware can be reused for a different purpose.
I have been reading the "RAC Installation Guide for Linux and Unix", specifically chapter 8 in the documentation. This document mentions using the deinstall tool provided with the software, but I have never used this utility before.
I would like to know what experience others have had usinging this tool, and whether or not I should use DBCA first to remove the database hosted by the cluster. Are there any "potholes" or known bugs when using this utility?
Thanks in advance for any and all responses. I appreciate the help provided by this community.

Hi Fiedi,
Thank you for providing those 2 very helpful articles. I have one last question, which I should have asked in my original post. We have 2 separate Oracle software owners in our RAC installations: ORAGRID is owner of the Grid Infrastructure home and central inventory, and ORACLE is owner of the database home. Should the deinstall utility be run as the GI owner, or as the DB owner?
Thanks!
