Setting up my Linux redhat environmnt to access sql plus

I created an oracle database. I can log in as oracle.
I have a new user. I copied my .bash_profile and here it is.
I run . oraenv and I put in my ORACLE_HOME, but when I try to run sqlplus unix can't find it.
Here is what I run:
$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [oracle1] ? oracle1
$ sqlplus
-bash: sqlplus: command not found
my bash profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/oracle10g
export ORACLE_SID=oracle1
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib

check if you may access sqlplus in $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
Maybe you would like to execute $ORACLE_HOME/install/changeperm.sh or something that looks like this (don't know the exact file name)
This will change permissions on a lot of executables and libraries so also non oracle user who are not member of oinstall can use for example sqlplus

Did 9i (Linux Redhat 9) support Heterogeneous Connectivity?

Hi,
I have oracle 9i on linux redhat 9, and the MSSQL is runing on window
2003. I try with no luck and having the same problems. Hope can get some
hints from you guys.
TNS:01201 : listener cannot find executable
/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/hsodbc for SID DBSTAF.
Listener failed to start
initDBSTAF.ora
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = DbStaf
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = off
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME = /usr/local/lib/libodbc.so
# ODBC specific environment variables
set ODBCINI=/etc/odbc.ini
Thanks
Daron

Daron,
You could probably use the transparent gateways, but no, I was refering to Generic Connectivity which is installed as part of Oracle 9i Database (for windows).
When you use a database link, Oracle looks up the 'USING' string in its local TNSNAMES.ORA. In that same TNSNAMES.ORA, you can specify the hostname of a different (ie windows) server.
I have recently discussed setting up hsodbc on two machines Generic connectivity for M.S ACCESS? and Generic Connectivity 4 MS ACCESS on host A and ORACLE 9I on host B...
The only bit I'm uncertain about is whether Oracle 9i on Linux can do the client side. If you have 'caths.sql' and 'SYS.HS_FDS_CLASS', then you probably can.

I didn't install the whole OS but just some packages that contain required rpms by Linux Redhad 4. I guess I accidently missed a package. In order to make sure that I have installed all necessary packages, I just re-installed the OS with care. Thanks for your advices.

Installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Linux RedHat 7.1

I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on a Linux RedHat 7.1 machine with P4 1.7GHz. I 've tryed all the papers I found on the net for setting the user accounts and groups, linking with the old gcc libraries, etc. The problem is that after starting the OUI and when a window pops-up that spans the products list available, the whole operation finishes too quicly without reaching the 100%. At the next screen when I am trying to give the Instalation Unix group - should be oinstall/dba - I press next and get the message "Unable to setup Inventory. You may not have proper permisions". The machine has 256MBs Ram and 520MB Swap file on a 20GB HDD.Has anyone else seen this before? I couldn't find anything on the net. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance...

Hi,
In the user where you are trying to install Oracle, give the following command at the prompt.
$ umask
The result should be "022". If it is not, connect as root and change the umask-settings of the user.
$ umask 022 <user-name>
and connect as the user, where you are trying to install and run the Installer.
Hope this will work,
Murali.

Oracle Forms (Support & Certification) on Linux RedHat AS 4.0 (Intel 32bit)

Hello,
Does anybody know for sure if Oracle is certifying Forms (part of Application Server 10.1.2.2) on Linux RedHat AS 4.0 (Intel 32 bit). We are trying to move from v3.0 to v.4.0, however without Oracle support, that might not happen.
Any help or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Kunal Bansal

I did search in Metalink indeed. This document is really the latest certification they have. But funny thing is that the rda.sh script Oracle released checks for RH4 in addition to RH3. I have my test iAS server (10.1.2.0.2) and iDS (same version) installed on RH 3 (just in case) but I have installed iAS server in 2 different places (for deployment) on RH 4 - both went just fine. I know there is a document on Metalink, explaining how to install on RH 4 - basically, they released a small patch set for those who wants to install on RH 4. I did apply that patchset (it is for OUI not for the forms). My quick solution to implement this patchset was to create a staging directory (disk1, ...) and then replace couple of files located under disk1 staging directory with the files that comes with the patchset (unzipped into a separate place), then start the installation of 10.1.2.0.2 on RH 4. Everything then went just perfect on RH 4. No problems reported so far (2 separate installations on 2 separate sites on RH 4). I don't know if this helps but just wanted to provide some feedback.

Thanks for your time and help.

Mark,
You have to make sure your serverName ODB is defined in the tnsnames.ora
file. Then make sure your oracle_home environemnt variable is set right.
Heres a note from Oracle website:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
Cause: Oracle Net could not locate the net service name specified in the
tnsnames.ora configuration file.
Action: Perform these steps:
1.. Verify that a tnsnames.ora file exists.
See Also:
Step 4 in "Client Diagnostics" for configuration file location
information
2.. Verify that there are not multiple copies of the tnsnames.ora file.
3.. In the tnsnames.ora file, verify that the net service name specified
in your connect string is mapped to a connect descriptor.
4.. Verify that there are no duplicate copies of the sqlnet.ora file.
5.. If you are using domain names, verify that your sqlnet.ora file
contains a NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN parameter. If this parameter does not exist,
you must specify the domain name in your connect string.
6.. If you are not using domain names, and this parameter exists, delete
it or disable it by commenting it out.
7.. If you are connecting from a login dialog box, verify that you are not
placing an "@" symbol before your connect net service name.
8.. Activate client tracing and repeat the operation.
Cause: Oracle Net could not locate the database service name or net service
name specified in the directory server.
Action: Perform these steps:
1.. Verify that the database service or net service name entry exists in
the directory that this computer was configured to use.
See Also:
Chapter 8, "Setting Up Directory Server Usage" for directory setup
instructions
2.. Verify that the sqlnet.ora file includes the following entry:
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(ldap, other_naming_methods)

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.

Best way to transfer a 10g database from HP9000 to Linux Redhat?

What is the best way to transfer a 10g databasse from HP9000 to Linux Redhat?

Hi Bill,
What is the best way to transfer a 10g databasse from HP9000 to Linux Redhat?Define "best"? There are many choices, each with their own benefits . . .
Fastest?
If you are on an SMP server, parallel CTAS over a databaee link can move large amnunts of tables, fast:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_create_table_select_ctas.htm
I've done 100 gig per hours . . .
Easiest?
If you are a beginner, data pump is good, and I have siome tips on doing it quickly:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_load_speed.htm
Also,, make sure to check the Linux kernel settings. I query http://www.tpc.org and search for the server type . . .
The full disclosure reports show optimal kernel settings.
Finally, don't forget to set direct I/O in Linux:

Does printing in Linux RedHat requires CUPS?

Does the jdk1.4 Printing API require CUPS to run in Linux RedHat? I installed the JDK and programs run well but I cannot direct the printing to a particular prnter. The printing allways goes to the default printer. I ran the examples in Print2DPrinterJob.java (code at the end of this posting) and I find that the windows to select the printers appear, I select the printer to output the image, but the printout allways goes to the default printer regardless of the printer selected.
Since the java Printing API requires the IPP and since LPR is not based in this protocol, I was wondering if I must install CUPS in the server in order to use the printing API

i have experienced the same problem as you - inability to print to a particular printer on linux. this appears to be a bug - if you look closely at what is happening, you get the following exception thrown when you try to print to any printer other than the default one (however, by default it will just recover and print to the default printer so you won't see this exception unless you force it by trying to do a print service lookup with no attributes set). I have not had any luck gettign around this. CUPS does not help either - i have installed CUPS and still see this behavior. Let me know if you have found a workaround.

Linux Redhat 7.3 Support IDE RAID Promise PDC20276 "845E Max2 LR

845E Max2 LR (MS-6398E) Motherboard with onboard PDC20276
I Must have linux redhat 7.3 support for onboard
PROMISE IDE RAID -- if it was clearly supported I
could build a serious web farm or render farm with
this nicely priced powerhouse of a motherboard.
I emailed MSICOMPUTER.com to see if they support it since web site has no
specific mention of Linux Redhat 7.3 support.
Very low cost high performing MBoard -- I am hoping to build a web farm using the
mirroring capability of the onboard chip
Please advise if you know of anyone with success or hints.
I am assembling it and about to try -- no doc on Promise.com or redhat.com or msicomputer.com
or anywhere.
promise.com site says mboard maker must support onboard promise chips. promise.com web site
says promise.com will not support mboard makers.
Thanks In Advance

I. I received rhup-ftb22.zip from the people at promise.com who promised that they can't support

adapter and onboard chipsets running under RedHat Linux operating
systems.
Do NOT use this diskette for other versions of Linux for FastTrak
support.
NOTE: For FastTrak users with Promise chips labelled PDC20265R or PDC20270
(FastTrak100 Lite motherboard-embedded solutions or FastTrak100TX2)
running with Linux kernel versions 2.4.x, be aware of additional
instructions to be performed.
See Item 1.3 below for description of the issue which use of the
driver and instructions solves.
1.2 Support List
PDC20262 FastTrak66
PDC20265R FastTrak100 Lite
PDC20267 FastTrak100
PDC20270 FastTrak LP/TX2/TX4
PDC20271 FastTrak TX2000
PDC20276 MBFastTrak133 Lite

1.3 Linux kernel 2.4.x ATA issue on FastTrak Series PDC20265R/PDC20270
Linux Kernels 2.4.x misidentifies PDC20265R/PDC20270 (FastTrak 100 Lite
motherboard-embedded solution/FastTrak100TX2) cards and/or chips as simple
IDE controllers. This results in the built-in Linux IDE driver trying to
handle the controller and can prevent the proper FastTrak ATA RAID driver
to be loaded. Follow the installation instructions AND the parameter
commands referred to in the Notes section.
This called "IDE issue."
[INSTALLATION]
Extract the contents of the ZIP file on to a formatted floppy disk.

III. For my RAID farm, render farm, I have multiple
20 GB IBM IDE/100 hard drives, so I connected one
of them to a regular (non-RAID) IDE port, booted from CDROM and sucessfully installed Redhat 7.3 selecting very simple defaults. Tried multiple times, clean shutdown, clean reboot, all OK, no surprises. Great.
Then after clean shutdown, I removed ths drive from
the IDE connector and moved it to the first RAID IDE
conenctor. Then I added an identical blank drive to the
second RAID IDE connector. The boot process guided
me to select between "Performance" mode (striping)
versus "Security" mode (mirroring). I selected mirroring
purely so that I do not have to panic when a drive fails, I can take my time in replacing the falty drive and no
one will ever have noticed a problem.
Upon reboot, it started to clear boot but locked up
within a few seconds after starting to spew boot messages.
I would have expected that Linux would have recognized the RAID array as some standard
supported SCSI drive.
I guessed the promise engineers didn't think of
adding a BIOS option to force the chip to emulate
some simple cheap reliable SCSI drive (maybe the next
motherboard support chip), so I imagined that I would
have to make sure PDC20276 (MBFastTrak133 Lite)
support is added.
Then I returned the drive to the IDE (non-RAID) port,
rebooted successfully, unzipped rhup-ftb22.zip into
a directory and ran the following command:
# sh install
Looking at install, it seems to take a peak in
the following directory:
/lib/modules
and sees the name "2.4.18" in mine just to figure
out where to copy "FastTrak.o" (/lib/modules/.../kernel/drivers/scsi in my case).
Then it determines that /etc/lilo.conf is not there
and confirms that /boot/grub/grub.conf exists and
append the following text to the "kernel" line:
ide0=0x1f0,0x3f6,14 ide1=0x170,0x376,15 ide2=0 ide3=0 ide4=0 ide5=0 ide6=0 ide7=0 ide8=0 ide9=0
then inserts the following modules:
FastTrak
scsi_mod
sd_mod
QUESTION: Should I now expect to boot OK by removing the drive from the IDE (non-RAID), moving to
first RAID port, adding second blank identical IDE drive
to second RAID port?
BEFORE DOING THAT: Before trying, for fun, I added two blanks to the RAID ports and booted from the IDE
(non-RAID), yes three IDE drives altogether.
Here is what I now see in the dmesg:
---- snip ----
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00

FINAL COMMENT:
Seeing the following line in the readme.txt:
Red Hat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3)
is very comforting when my uname -a results in:
Linux **.**.com 2.4.18-3 #1 Thu Apr 18 07:37:53 EDT 2002 i686 unknown
Perhaps I should freeze my kernel at 2.4.18-3 until
promise gives me the source code to FastTrak.o X(
In the words of strongbad of http://www.homestarrunner.com:

Installation Iplanet 4.1 Enterprise Web Server on Linux RedHat 7.1

I am trying to install IPlanet 4.1 Enterprise Web Server on Linux RedHat 7.1.
After unloading the software from CDROM to a temp directory, and run ./setup, I get the following error:
eroor while loading shared libraries; libncurses.so.4: cannot load shared object file : no such file or directory.
Has anyone know how to resolve it??. Thanks.

Benny Tan
