Starting Stopping Oracle 10g XE on Linux

Hi,
I successfully installed Oracle 10g XE on Suse 10.0 as root. The install went without errors. I configured the oracle with "/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure" and opted not to start oracle while bootup.
Then whenever I clicked on Start Database or Stop Database link just nothing happens. The cursor changes shape and after sometime returns back to original shape.
However, I was easily able to start/stop the database from command line: -
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe enable
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
Then I edited /etc/init.d/oracle-xe to enable startup of oracle at bootup and everything work fine now.
But I'm still not able to start/stop the database from the links provided in the KDE menu.
By checking the links, they are pointing rightly to startdb.sh and stopdb.sh in scripts directory of config directory.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for the concern. When I ran su - oracle on KDE Konsole and then stopdb.sh, I got the following output: -
xsetroot: Unable to open display ' '
xsetroot: Unable to open display ' '
and it worked. It stopped the database. Similarly by typing startdb.sh I was able to start the database with above two messages.
Then came the real part. When I saw the menu entries for Starting & Stopping Database in KDE Menu, they were running as current user. I changed them to run as 'oracle' user and it worked.
Now I'm able to start and stop database form the KDE Menu entries.
Another Tip: May be useful to someone: -
When we run the SQL Command Line Utility from KDE Menu in Suse 10.0 it runs in old style terminal. When I saw the script it ran i.e. startsqlplus.sh of some thing like this ( I don't remember the exact name, but you can find out by right clicking on menu entry and then edit item), it came to know that it was seeking gnome-terminal in /usr/bin and in Suse 10.0 gnome-terminal is located in /opt/gnome/bin!!!!!!. So, I made a symbolic link /usr/bin/gnome-terminal for /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-terminal and now it presents me with nice gnome-terminal to run SQL Plus command line.
Thanks

Starting/Stopping Oracle 10g Personal Edition

Just wondering how one starts & stops 10g PE?
Oracle asks for Host credentials and database credentials.
SYS doesn't seem to work and as there is no security settings under Admin (in PE) I can't create my login as a SYSDBA.
Suggestions appreciated!

PE is actually a superset of EE (Enterprise Edtion), with all EE options except RAC. It is targetted towards developers and designed to allow a develolper access to all of the capabiltites
Therefore, you can search the docs to find out how to start/stop the database's instance[s] and any reference to the Enterrprise Edition will be valid in your case. If I remember correctly, there is a chapter in the Installation Guide that covers the topic.
IN any case, PE is only licensed on Windows (presumably because developers only work in Windows???), so:
- Go to Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services
- Ensure the TNS Listener service is running first
- Start the Oracle service
The questions you ask indicate you are confused about the relationship between SYSDBA and the OS userid. I strongly encourage reading the first 2 chapters of the Concepts manual (at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=1) to get a decent starting point.

Auto Start/Stop Oracle Database Lintener DBConslone on Linux

Dear all
I have install oracle 10.2.0 on redhat 4.7 every time i have to start manualy.
it try with following scrip / process but database not starting automatically.
Please any one can provide steps for auto start and stop oracel services on RedHat 4.7
Once the instance is created, edit the "/etc/oratab" file setting the restart flag for each instance to 'Y'.
TSH1:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0:Y
Next, create a file called "/etc/init.d/dbora" as the root user, containing the following.

esac
create service on linux
Actions >> System Settings >> Server Settings >> Services Then
Actions >> Add Service Then
Service Name = dbora Then Press Ok
chmod a+x /etc/init.d/dbora
Check is it running this service properly
service dbora stop
service dbora start
showing error
:bad interperter : no such file or directory
Please forward me process/steps for auto start/stop oracel services

:bad interperter : no such file or directorymeans that it could not find the interpreter which should be used to interpret the script.
most probably this is caused by the shebang (#!/bin/bash)
the default location of bash on RHEL (OEL/CentOS) is /bin/bash, which means that the shebang looks correct.
can you make the shebang:
#!/bin/bash -xso shelltracing is put on and execute script again?
this will make clear if it is the shebang in your script, or in another script.

Installation of oracle 10g on RedHat Linux EE 3

Hi,
I am going to Install of oracle 10g on RedHat Linux EE 3, rigth now i am running oracle 9i on windows platform. I need following things:
-I want to export all my data from oracle 9i on windows. For this what is the best way should i transport my tablespace and install oracle 10g on linux and import them after creating db or should i simply export and import it from there.
-Is there any issues that i should look at before i transfer my database.
-We are a Industrial Laboratory and use scientific notation in our database. Would this import export can takecare of all the things or should i set some character set setting before import/export.
-Any thing else if you thing that i should take care.
Thanks & Regard
Rashid K.K

You cannot use transportable tablespace. Platform independent transportable tablespace run only on newer versions (10g). You have to create the tablespaces on you linux machine and than exp/imp (full=y).

Can you install Oracle 10g on REDHAT LINUX ENTERPRISE WS?

According to oracle documentation, it says you can install oracle10g on Redhat enterprise version 3 or 4, but it doesn't specify whether its Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS or WS. Can you install oracle 10g on Rehat Linux Enterprise WS?

Oracle Certificaction Matrices says only RedHat AS/ES is supported for database. AFAIK WS means workstation.
Also this link is very clear: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_61_1135.shtm
Besides the above sentences... If the WS installation is providing all required packages (listed in installtion prerequisites) I belive that Oracle DB could be installed on WS but as I (and the above link) said it is not officialy supported.

Can I run 32 bit version of Oracle 10g grid on Linux x86-64?

Since Oracle did not release 64 bit version of Oracle 10g grid for Linux X86-64. Can I run 32 bit version of Oracle 10g grid on Linux x86-64? If so did anyone tried this? and also any known issues?

All I had to do was use the 32bit version of "/usr/bin/gcc" and "/usr/bin/g++" to run the installation
That is:
bin]# cp -p /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc_old
bin]# mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc323
mv: overwrite `/usr/bin/gcc323'? y
bin]# ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc
bin]# cp -p /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++_old
bin]# mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++323
mv: overwrite `/usr/bin/g++323'? y
bin]# ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++
AFTER INSTALLATION REMEMBER TO
move back the 64bit files to their former state.
bin]#rm /usr/bin/g++
bin]#rm /usr/bin/gcc
bin]#mv /usr/bin/gcc_old /usr/bin/gcc
bin]#mv /usr/bin/g++_old /usr/bin/g++

How to Start / Stop Oracle Applications

How to Start / Stop Oracle Applications.
Oracle Applications Services (TCF, ConcManagers, Metric, Forms, Reports etc...) TnsListner & Oracle Service (DB) are started when the Server is started.
What is the sequential Order to Start / Shutdown services, Listener & DB.
Best regards,

hi
there is no hard coded rule on which service should be started first.
the basic thing is concurrent manager uses database for starting, so i advice you the following sequence:
1. start the database
2. start the database listener
3. Apache server
4. forms server
5. report server
6. concurrent manager
and shutdown in the reverse order
simple
