Suggestions for Oracle 10g Installation using VMware in Windows XP.

Hi All,
I am using Intel(R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU P8600 @2.4 Ghz with 1.98 GB RAM with Windows XP with 70 GB disk space. I would like to install a 2 node RAC with ASM and if possible also configure a DG for learning and testing purpose.Please advice if this will work using a VMware . Is RAC VM possible only Linux or with Windows as well ?
I think 11g is out of scope since i don't have sufficient memory.
I am new to VMware and have not done any installations or used it till now.
It would be appreciated if you could help with these doubts.
1. How much memory can be allocated to each instances?If i am installing Linux how much memory is required ?
2. what will be the load on the CPU and will i be able to use it without any resource crunch ?
3.Once memory is allocated to VM, can it be claimed back , is it like if i am not starting the VMware services.. i have the full 2 GB in discretion?
4. Can 10g Standard editions be used for learning purposes?
If the above hardware is not sufficient, please suggest a suitable configuration
Hari

You do not have sufficient hardware - you will likely need 6GB of RAM or more, plus 100G of disk or more and a multiprocessor machine. Each VM will need at least 2GB of RAM, and once all of the VMs/RAC are installed, the system will be pretty busy running 3 OS's (host and two guests) and two databases. If you do not start up the VMs, all of the memory is available for the host to use. 10g is no longer available for download, you will have to use 11g - yes SE edition is sufficient for learning purposes.

SUNWsprox package with solaris 10 for Oracle 10g Installation....

Hi
I am in problem with a Solaris 10 package "SUNWsprox - Sun workshop Bundled 64-bit make library" for Oracle 10g Installation. I checked the CDs (In the /.../products) but did't found this packege. Can any one tell me please can I go without this package or where I found this package...Please Its very URGENT for me....
Thanks
Mohammed Tanvir

Hi...
I had the same issue, but found out that the SUNWsprox was replaced by SUNWsprot. The OUI 10.1 Release 2 will 'pass' as the doco in the Oracle quick install guide is wrong (as well as 10g Application Server).
The only way to lay a 10g Release database on Solaris 10 is to lay the software doen only, then cd in the .../bin directory, step your Rdbms ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and of course the DISPLAY (is X-windowing into the server), and run dbca manually. Oracle 10g is a bit buggy.

NTLM module for oracle 10g Release 2 Apache on Windows 2003

Hi,
I want to implement autologon on my HTML DB application depending on the Windows username. I understand that I can implement this feature with the Apache module modntlm.
Is there anyone who has got this working on Windows 2003 Server in combination with Oracle 10g Release 2 Apache on Windows 2003.
Which version NTLM software do I need and where can I download the version for Windows 2003 server?

Nothing fantastic, we have the username/id passed in from the linking application (company intranet) as part of the URL. The process is invisible to the end-user. Possibly not ideal if you want really tight security/authentication, but it was sufficient for our needs, and the problems we had previously where users were unable to use the application have disappeared. I'd like to know the reasons for the problems we had with mod_ntlm (running on AIX), but it was more important to
me to deliver a working app than to spend time resolving probelms in 3rd party software.
Cheers.

Which browser support for Oracle 10g forms (using window7 ultimate 32bit)

sir my 10g forms show pluginn error using any BROWSER .. also netscape navigator 9.0 for window 7 ultimate 32bit
PLZ solve my problem anyone..
i shall b very thankfullllll

plz solve my problem any one an which browser i will use for for window 7 32bit ????>
Please take a look at the Client Certification. It lists all of the browsers that are certified for the Java version you are using. Also, you will need to modify your configuration to correctly list the Java Plug-in version you have installed. For information on how to configure the JPI, take a look at Oracle 10gR2 Forms Services – Using Sun's Java Plug-in.

Suggestion for Oracle: Distribute java using up2date

I've been hunting high and low for the simplest possible way to both a) install and b) keep updated "sun java" on our oel-boxes. Earlier, we've been downloading and installing RPMs from java.sun.com, but that of course deals only with installation, and not updating.
Hence, I believe this is a suggestion -- but if someone says "you can do it now", consider this the question "how":
* Create an up2date-channel that contains the latest java-versions (jre, jdk, 32bit, 64bit)
* Let me install it using "up2date java-1.6.0-sun-devel"
* ...and let "update -u" keep it updated
Doing this will help me install and enable me to keep it updated -- both of which are laudable goals, I think!
Also, it seems that RedHat already does this, using their "Supplementary Server" channel, ref http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_SOA_Platform/5/html/Getting_Started_Guide/appe-install_jdk_rhel.html.

btw - not that this helps your case right now but
we already have virtualbox on ULN in a channel and it's up to date / current. We'll do a better job at all the others as well.

Oracle 10g installation on Windows 7

I am currently using Oracle 10g on my laptop running on Windows Vista. Now i am planning to upgrade my OS to Windows 7. My question here, is can I use the same Oracle 10g installable to install in windows 7 also ??
is it possible ??
thanks,
JJ

Possible yes? Brilliant no!
Windows 7 is totally uncertified and unsupported with all Oracle products and if you have an issue there is essentially no support or patch available.
Personally I think Vista a cruel joke so my recommendation would be to go to XP SP3 which at least has the attribute of stability or move to Linux which is what I did on one of my laptops.

Putting Oracle Apps 11i on 10g RAC using VMware

Hello All,
I am building a Oracle Applications 11i on 10g RAC, using VMware..Since there aren't any docs I could find on internet explaining how to do this, I have come up with my own. I have combined the MEtalink doc:362135.1 and the docs describing building a 10gRAC "database" using VMware..I want to know if the below process is good enough to get the required results:
Steps:
-Install VMware on HOST m/c
-Configure 1st virtual m/c, say RAC1
-Install RHEL on RAC1
-Install 11i with 9i database on the local SCSI bus- SCSI 0:0
-Install VMware client tools
-Create a new ethernet adapter(for private interconnect) on RAC1
-Create shared disks on RAC1
-Partition the disks
-Add the disks as RAW devices in /etc/rawdevices
-Clone RAC1 to a new virtual m/c,say RAC2
-Delete the 11i apps directories from its local SCSI bus..since these would be redundant on RAC2
-Install Clusterware s/w on RAC1 using the same oraInventory that is used by the Applications 11i installation-
-Install the 10g DB software and create ASM instances using dbca
-Install Database componenets from 10g companion CD
-Upgrade CRS abd DB s/w to 10.2.0.4
-Upgrade the 9i database to 10g using dbua from the 10g ORACLE_HOME
-Convert the newly upgraded 10g databse to RAC using the rconfig tool
-Post migration steps for RAC
-Enable AutoConfig on the Applications Database tier
- Follow the "Establish Applications Environment for RAC" section from Doc:362135.1
-Configure PArallel Concurrent Processing(PCP)
Thanks,
Sandeep

(Considering that there are only 2 nodes the scenario the steps would be as follows:
1. Install RAC using the steps provided at the link:
http://oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2RACInstallationOnCentos4UsingVMware.php
2.On RAC1 create a single instance of Oracle 11i (Both DB and Apps are on the same node)
3. Follow the steps outlined in the Note:362135.1
One thing to note is that the steps are the same whether the nodes are real or virtual.

Errors using DBMS_SQLTUNE Advisors for Oracle 10g

I get errors trying to tune the below query for Oracle 10g using the DBMS_SQLTUNE advisors.
It happens when I wrap either a large block of PL/SQL code that uses bind variables or multiple nested subqueries with multiple JOIN conditions in a SELECT query statement that I wish to tune using the 10g SQLTUNE advisors.

Hi, I was trying to use the DBMS_SQLTUNE package to tune my sql statements used in the huge procedure. I can successfully create a task and execute it. But when I run report tuning task, I'm always getting error like the one in below example. Two questions I have now.
1) Is this becuase I'm using bind, but not passing any values?
2) Can I able to use to this package to tune a procedures instead of sql statement?

Anybody Succeeded in RAC 2 node installation using vmware?

Friends,
i tried to install 2 node 10gR2 RAC in vmware workstation and also in vmware server 2.
i check the clustering will be supporting in vmware workstation (ofcourse it will give a warning that clustering will not support)
i got struck in connecting the first node to the host.
ok here goes my problem..
1. i am doing everything in dell precision m4600 i7 2720qm
2. host is windows 7 pro version(172.16.1.3)
3. installed vmware workstation 8 in win7
4. installed the rhel 4.8 as a guest os with two network card. one is bridged(172.16.1.4) and other one is host only(10.10.10.31).
5. after installation of os, i tried to ping the guest os from host and viceversa....but no use...not pinging....
6. in the both win7 and guest os i set the gateway as 172.16.1.1
so this is the problem...how to solve this network issue...? once i solve this, then only i can go with the next step....
for the past 10 hrs...i was keep on searching in the forums,irc etc.....still i didnt get a solution....
i hope somebody in this forum...have succeeded....so i hope somebody will help me in solving this issue.
i followed many links...all are stating to add two network cards one is for public and another one is for private (virtualip will be added in the host file).
thanks

did you install l VMware Client Tools?
after install vmware tools you can copy and paste files between guest os and main windows system.
check you /etc/hosts file in the guest Operating system. need to ping between the two node guest os only. no need to worry about primary windows 7 os and guest os

"In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition

Hi,
In one of our applications, we are using TimesTen 5.1.24 and Oracle 9i
databases (platform - Solaris 9i).
TimesTen holds application information which needs to be accessed quickly
and Oracle 9i is a master application database.
Now we are looking at an option of migrating from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g
database. While exploring about Oracle 10g features, came to know about
"In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle Enterprise Edition. This made
me to think about using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition with "In-Memory
Database Cache" option for our application.
Following are the advantages that I could visualize by adopting the
above-mentioned approach:
1. Data reconciliation between Oracle and TimesTen is not required (i.e.
data can be maintained only in Oracle tables and for caching "In-Memory
Database Cache" can be used)
2. Data maintenance is easy and gives one view access to data
I have following queries regarding the above-mentioned solution:
1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
"In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
cache feature)?
3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
in making this statement?
5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
Database Cache"?
In "Options and Packs" chapter in Oracle documentation
(http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/options.htm
#CIHJJBGA), I encountered the following statement:
"For the purposes of licensing Oracle In-Memory Database Cache, only the
processors on which the TimesTen In-Memory Database component of the
In-Memory Database Cache software is installed and/or running are counted
for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required."
We have servers with the following configuration. Is there a way to get the
count of processors on which the Cache software could be installed and/or
running? Please assist.
Production box with 12 core 2 duo processors (24 cores)
Pre-production box with 8 core 2 duo processors (16 cores)
Development and test box with 2 single chip processors
Development and test box with 4 single chip processors
Development and test box with 6 single chip processors
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
regarding your questions:
1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
"In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
==> Product has just been renamed and integrated better with the Oracle database - Times-Ten == In-Memory-Cache-Database
2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
cache feature)?
==> Seperate Installation
3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
==> Please have a look here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/timesten/quickstart/cc_qs_index.html
This explains the differences.
4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
in making this statement?
==> Please see above mentioned papers
5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
Database Cache"?
==> Again ... ;-)
Kind regards
Mike

BLOB insertion in Oracle 10g database using ojdbc14 (10g drivers)

Hello!
I have a situation where I am trying to insert a blob data into oracle 10g database using oracle thin
10g drivers, ojdbc14.jar in weblogic 8.1 sp2. I have the following error happening very intermittently.
java.sql.SQLException: OALL8 is in an inconsistent state.
And this is leading to the "No more data to read from socket" error when I am trying to
insert the BLOB into the database. I have gone through the bug list of SP2 and have realised there is the
following issue fixed in SP3.
CR124933
An Oracle BLOB sometimes used a pooled connection after the connection pool determined that
the connection was available for reassignment.
Code was added to ensure the BLOB is completely processed before closing the pool connection or
ending the transaction.
I believe the problem arises when we try to insert BLOB into database using a refreshed connection
from the pool.We have upgraded weblogic 8.1 from SP2 to SP4 service pack inorder to come over the above problem.
But this still continues to behave intermittently.
We put ojdbc14.jar in our classpath and Weblogic startup classpath looks like the following :-
WLS_CLASSPATH=${WLS_DOMAIN_DIR}/appslib/server.jar:$PRE_CLASSPATH:${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/lib/weblogic.jar:
${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/lib/ojdbc14.jar:${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/lib:${WLS_JAVA_HOME}/lib/tools.jar:
${WLS_JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/rt.jar:${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/lib/webservices.jar:${WLS_CONFIG_DIR}:
${WLS_CUSTLIB_DIR}:${WLS_BIN_DIR}:$POST_CLASSPATH
export WLS_CLASSPATH
CLASSPATH=${WLS_CLASSPATH}:${APP_CLASSPATH}
export CLASSPATH
After upgrade to SP4, there are new ojdbc14_g.jar(debug jar) and orai18n.jar jars in the ${WLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME}/server/ext/jdbc/oracle/10g directory added.
Please let me know if I need to update classpath with the new 10g jars in the ext/lib directory or any suggestions
to insert BLOB using the ojdbc14 10G drivers, Weblogic 8.1 environment would be appreciated.
Following is the stack trace of the errors that I recieve:
<Oct 6, 2005 1:29:36 PM EDT> <Error> <JDBC> <BEA-001112> <Test "select count(*) from DUAL" set up for pool

java.rmi.RemoteException: TransactionRequestManager.requestTransaction():

Please let me know if there is anything that I am missing.
Thanks

getting using and closing pool connections? The initial symptom
seems to be an internal oracle problem... Are you using standard
JDBC or oracle-specific calls?

Suitable Processor for Oracle 10g

Hi All ,
Currently, Our Oracle 10g with RAC (Real Application Cluster) is running in the Server Sun Fire V240 (SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIIi) with 4GB of RAM.
We have an idea to upgrade the processor. Please give me your suggestion, which processor is best for Oracle 10G with RAC.
I am awaiting for your response.
Regards,
R. Rajesh Kannan.

It would depend on the load. How many people using it, and what are they all doing.
