'su - oracle -c env ' on Linux

The problem I'm having is this: The oracle user can start ORACLE
using the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart command. But root running
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora can not. This is in spite of having the
same env vars set for both accounts. I've tracked it down to
this line:
su - $ORA_USER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart
which translates to: su - oracle -c $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart
Running this from the shell in root, or from the dbora script, I
get the much noted error: "'libclntsh.so.1.0: Cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory'". However I know that
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been set correctly! To investigate it
further, I tried running this command:
su - oracle -c env
And NONE of the env vars set in oracle's .profile appeared!!
Whereas if I run this command on Solaris, I get the proper vars!
Is this a Linux setting?? How do I get it to read the .profile
script?
Help!
null

Fixed my own problem by UPGRADING su! I installed the
GNU sh-utils 1.16 which includes su and the functionality
returned -- ie, root can now start Oracle!
Apparently RedHat 5.0 shipped this crummy version of su! Anyone
else noticed this?

Dont mistake me if my questions dont make sense
Thanks

Hi,
So, I need the know, which linux version is ideal for EBS R12?Any certified version would be ideal. Get the list of certified Linux version from (My Oracle Support website > Certification).
I think R12.1.2 is the latest version of EBS.whether I can directly download the R12.1.2 or I go with installing R12.0 and then patch to upgrade.It is a patch.

Unable to Install Oracle 9i on redhat linux 9

Hi everybody,
I had been trying to install Oracle 9i on redhat linux 9 since last month and I am not able to succeed in installing the same. In fact I do not get to see even the OUI screen . I give below the steps I followed.
1) Setting of env varibles pertinent to oracle., say ORACLE_HOME,NLS_LANG etc.
2) PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin:.
3) export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
I have a set of 3 CD's for installation. As soon as I load the first CD. the runInstaller would run for sometime and stop, while I do the installation in the graphic mode.
When I try to install the same in the command line mode, I get to see something like the one below
Initializing java jre from /tmp/OraInstall0/... please wait.. and then it would come back to the command prompt.
I then invoke ps -ef | grep -i oracle to check if some process is running and I do get to see something. But ultimately nothing happens.
Please help me with this.

At Oracle Site we have a very good manual for 9i installation. Follow the manual step-by-step.
Your problem seems as a java or permissions issue.
good luck

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).

Installation of Oracle 9i on Redhat Linux 7.3

Hi.
I'm trying to install oracle 9i on Redhat Linux an facing some problems. To start with I had no problem in installing and creating the database, The listener.ora and tsnname.ora files created are similar to what i have on windows 2000( Since i was not able to make oracle working on linux, i tried installing on windows, so as to check and create database for temporary work.), But when i go to the console and type the commands: sqlplus /nolog it says bash: sqlplus:command not found.
2. When i try clicking sqlplus executable file in the bin directory, i get a message that 'Could'nt find the program'.
3. Where can i find the bash_profile file.
4.I'm able to run the database configuration assistant and create new databases without any error.
I would appreciate if some one can help me out.Also are there any special commands, for this is my first experience on linux.
Thanks
Pranav

If your shell is bash (which I guess it is) you need to set the environment variables either per user in a file called ~/.bash_profile (probably /home/oracle/.bash_profile) or globally by making a file /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh
you can list .files with ls -la
for now you can either type /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus or type
export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin
to add oracle to the path in your current session

How to start Oracle Report Builder in Linux

Hi all
Can someone please help by telling how can i start Oracle Report Builder in Linux????
Thank you and best regards to all

Hello,
there should be a script rwbuilder.sh
in ORACLE_HOME/bin for 10.1.2.
in ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/reports/bin for 11g
Of course, you need to have a "X Display Server " up and running and the variable DISPLAY must be set to this "X Display Server "
Example :
export DISPLAY=123.456.789.12:0
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rwbuilder.sh

Oracle 9.0.1 Linux Intel images on OTN corrupt

The oracle 9.0.1 Linux Intel images I downloaded
from Oracle technology network are corrupt. Disk1 and
Disk2 images are bad for Linux Intel. A gunzip -df
to decompress the image fails i.e
gunzip -df Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz
gunzip: Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz: unexpected end of file
gunzip -df Linux9i_Disk2.cpio.gz
gunzip: Linux9i_Disk2.cpio.gz: unexpected end of file
The other alternative i.e a cpio extract on Disk2 is also suspect.
cpio -imdv < Linux9i_Disk2.cpio.gz
cpio: warning: skipped 40 bytes of junk
cpio: premature end of file
Disk3 for Oracle 901 Linux Intel on OTN is good.
Disk1 and Disk2 images for Oracle 9.0.1 on Linux Intel
may have to be updated on the Oracle technology network.
Any other suggestions or tips are welcome.
Thanks

Oracle 9.0.1 Linux Download Disk 1 Is NOT in gzip Format

Hi,
I tried to download twice Oracle 9.0.1 Linux on my Windows first, then tranfer to my Linux machine. All the other disks (gz files) are transfered and uncompressed into cpio files, expect Disk 1, Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz.
I checked Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz first using WinZip on Windows, then gunzip on Linux. The problem is the same: Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz is not in gzip format.
Since all the other Disks (.cpio.gz files) works fine, my suspicion is that Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz is corrupted on the server. Has anyone in Oracle really tested the download recently?
Of cause next monday I will check direct download to my Linux machine at work.
Thanks in advance!

So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
- Server name
- Filename
- Date/Time
- Browser + Version
- O/S + Version
- Error Msg

Hi,
I reported that Oracle 9.0.1 Linux Download Disk 1 does not work if I first download it to Windows. My colleague downloaded it to a Linux machine, and it can be unzipped.
So only one disk file can only be directly downloaded to Linux.

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.

How to install Oracle client on UBUNTU LInux

Hi,
I want to install oracle client on ubuntu linux. Which version of oracle client works on it and is there any other tool which i can install instead of oracle client?

The problem is Oracle usually don't provide direct Oracle Client download except for Windows. You need to download the Server installation file and install the client piece. The download files are rather large.
and is there any other tool which i can install instead of oracle client?It depends on what you plan to do with Oracle client and why you need it.
On alternative is instance client, it has direct download for all supported platform.

Differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform

Hello,
J would like to know if there are some differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform.
I know that there are some differences on Oracle 8i Parallel Server and i know that some products are not include like precompiler (Mod*Ada, Pro*FORTRAN) on a Linux Platform.
Thank you.

We have installed Oracle 8i on Solaris 8 and it had a great performance, of course that the hardware and licence invested here was costed my the office where i work. Personaly i'd installed linux reh hat 8 and oracle 8i, imagine that, it could be implemented by any individual that has the time to do so.
By buyinng from a company that has a good background you could be sure that you will have support.
Bottom line, if you have the $ to buy great hardware go for a unix platform. But if you don't a Red Hat Linux Server Licence with a 1 year sopport and Oracle data base is about 3500Dls.

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++
