Symantec & Oracle 10g Compatibility issues

Hi all,
Recently i had virus attack on two of my database servers running oracle 10g. one is running on xp and the other on server 2003 r2.
i cleaned the viruses applied windows patches and then installed symantec endpoint protection 11.
after installing this teh system started crashing givin bsd.
in the xp machine i did a bit of r&d and found out that there was a problem with oracle and symantec together.
then i unsinstalled symantec made everything ok with the db and stopped db services and installed symantec back
this worked and sytem was up and running again
but the problem still continues with the windows server 2003
as soon as i uninstalled oracle the system crashed and now its not starting.
are there any compatibility issues between symantec and oracle 10g?
or something should be taken care on the oracle server before installing symantec?
Any suggestions or experience would really help.
Regards
Deepak

Hi,
I guess the problem is with Symantic and the Virus .
As I know there is no direct ill-impact upon Oracle and Symantic together.
There might be another cause... So some more R&D :)

Oracle 10g Installation issue on Windows 7

Hi,
I tried to install Oracle 10g downloaded from the below link on my laptop which runs in Windows 7.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10204-winx64-vista-win2k8-082253.html
The Oracle version is 10g release 2 for windows 7. I got this DB version no. for Windows 7 from this forum only. But still, I got the error message stated below and unable to install 10g.
------------------------------------------------------ Error --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Could you please let me know how I can fix this issue? Or is there any other oracle 10g release/patch to fix this issue? I need to install only Oracle 10g and not 11g.
Also, I need to install Oracle Forms 10g too.
It would be great if you could guide me on installing these two softwares in my laptop.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Arun

Welcome to the forums !
This issue has been discussed many times before. Pl use the search feature. The only versions supported in Win 7 (Professional or higher) are 10.2.0.5 and 11gR2. 10.2.0.5 is only available on My Oracle Support, while 11gR2 can be downloaded for free from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html

Oracle 10g performance issues

Hi,
We were using Oracle 9i in Solaris 5.8 and it was working fine with some minor performance issues. We formatted the Solaris server with new Solaris 5.10 and installed Oracle 10g.
Now we are experiencing some performance issues in Oracle 10g. This issue is arising when using through Websphere 5.1.
We have analyzed the schema, index is rebuild, SGA is 4.5 GB, PGA is 2.0 GB, Solaris RAM is 16 GB. Also we are having some Mat Views (possibly this may cause performance issues - not sure) due to refresh.
Also I have changed some parameters in init.ora file like query_rewrite = STALE_TOLERATED, open_cursors = 1500 etc.
Is is something due to driver from which the data is accessed. I guess it is not utilizing the indexes on the table.
Can anyone please suggest, what could be the issue ?

There are a lot of changes to the optimizer in the upgrade from 9i to 10g, and you need to be aware of them. There are also a number of changes to the default stats collection mechanism, so after your upgrade your statistics (hence execution paths) could change dramatically.


Greg Rahn has a useful entry on his blog about stats collection, and the blog al,so points to an Oracle white paper which will give you a lot of ideas about where the optimizer changes - which may help you spot your critical issues.

Otherwise, follow triggb's advice about using Statspack to find the SQL that is the most expensive - it's reasonably likely to be this SQL that has changed execution plans in the upgrade.

I am trying to install Oracle 10.2.0.4 for vista x64 on Windows 7 Home premium
i tried too much, but doesnt find any solutions to install it on windows 7
Setup doesnot starts even if i install it in Windows xp (Service Pack 2) compatibility settings
plz tell me some solution
or suggest me some alternatives, if it doesnot have any solutions
waiting for ur kind response
Edited by: 782710 on Jul 17, 2010 3:24 PM

Hi,
I am not so sure about if win 7 is compatible with 10g, however what i have read on forums is that u can install oracle 11 g on win 7.
in case u still wish to install 10g then u can install it on xp or on OEL ( Oracle Enterprise linux )
OEL is free of cost - this is just another flavour of linux managed by oracle
u can install it on virtual box ( google this ) , virtual box is a free software, where as vmware server is paid.
I was in same situation as u r just 2 weeks back, and now i have oracle 10g on OEL on virtual box.
Hope it helps

Oracle 10g compatibility

Hi,
Does anybody know whether there are compatiblity issues with Oracle 10g (10.1.0.2) with Sun iPlanet 6.5 Application server?
Thanks.

When You will run runInstaller it will check the version of OS and if it will be not compatible You will be informed and installation will not start! Or You can check metalink.oracle.com
P.S. It is supported by HP-UX b11.23 ia64 100%

Oracle 10g Speed issue

Hi.
1. I am using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition.
2. on Windows Xp SP2.
3. System configuratoin are: Intel Core2 Due 2.20Ghz, 512MB ram.
But after installing Oracle 10g on the above mentioned system, the speed of my system gradually down/reduced.
How we can set/fix this issue/problem.
Regards!

Did you install software only or created a sample database as well?
Just installing the software won't make it slower. If you have created a database, how much SGA have you configured for this database?
512MB RAM is definitely on lower side considering you are running Oracle 10g database and (some) other applications along with that.

Oracle 10g performance issue

Hi all,
In sunfire v890 we have installed oracle 10g release 2 on solaris 10.
prstat -a command shows :
NPROC USERNAME SIZE RSS MEMORY TIME CPU

59 oracle 24G 22G 71% 0:04:33 0.1%

4 daemon 12M 7976K 0.0% 0:00:00 0.0%
and top utility shows :
last pid: 8639; load avg: 0.09, 0.09, 0.09; up 2+06:05:29 17:07:50
171 processes: 170 sleeping, 1 on cpu
CPU states: 98.7% idle, 0.7% user, 0.7% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap
Memory: 32G phys mem, 22G free mem, 31G swap, 31G free swap
therefore from prstat we come to know that memory used by oracle is 71%
where as top says 31.25% used.....
which one is true in this scenario.....
shall we go ahead in trusting top utility????
Advance thanks to you.

Hi darren
The main thing is,, prstat -a command showing oracle
user occupied 70%.In top utility showing 22gb memory
free out of 32 gb.That means 10gb was occupied by all
users.In percentage calculation its comes
31.25%...i.e top shows all users occupied only
31.25%Right. That's all memory in use, correct? From your first message I thought you meant it said that was the amount used by Oracle.
It's easy to calculate total memory in use.
It's hard to calculate memory in use by a subset of processes (perhaps those owned by a particular user).
but prstat -t command shows 70% occupied by oracle.
which one i want to believe??????The prstat command showing memory in use by a user will be incorrect because it does not calculated shared pages properly.
As far as I am aware, 'top' has no similar display.
Darren

Oracle 10G compatibility with Business Object 6.3.1

we have a BO application, which accepts data from Oracle 10G. We are currently in the process to upgrade from Oracle 9I to 10G. We have not yet had the upgrades, but it would be very helpful if i could get some information on the impacts on BO due to this upgrade.

Dear,
first of all remeber that if you change the sarver name port when you log on on CMC or CCM you have to name the server with the new port in the field system:
<servername>:<port> es. PIPPO:6350

Oracle 10g http issue. always ask for XDB and APEX password

As i m uses oracle 10g express edition, it ask for XDB and Apex password frequently.
i changed the port from 8080 to 8181 but still same problem.
Any solution?

If you wish to enable anonymous access to the ML DB repository, the following code creates the "<allow-repository-anonymous-access>" element if it is missing, or updates it if it is already present in the xdbconfig.xml file.
CONN sys/password AS SYSDBA

Oracle 10g Installation issue

While Installing Oracle 10g, I get the following warning
Checking Network Configuration requirements ...
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: The install has detected that the primary IP address of the system is DHCP-assigned.
Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned IP addresses; However, before you can do this, you must configure the Microsoft LoopBack Adapter to be the primary network adapter on the system. See the Installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP.
========================================================
When I ignored this warning and proceeded with the installation tnsnames.ora was not getting created.
Please help on this.

Hi,
You need to configure the Loop Back Adapter on your system, Since ORACLE does not support the dynamic IP Address. Do the Loop Adapater the Problem will be solved.

Oracle 10g connection issue..

Hi ,
I have oracle 10g installed on one unix box and i need to connect to this oracle 10g from another unix box
using the sqlplus client version 9.2.0.7.0.
When i try to connect using sqlplus 9.2.0.7.0 i am not getting any response.
is it possible to connect to oracle10g using sqlplus 9.2.0.7.0?
Thanks.

When i try to connect using sqlplus 9.2.0.7.0 i am not getting any response.You failed to provide any meaningful information in order to diagnose the problem.
I suggest that you start off with some basic tests first.
1. Ping
Can you ping the remote server? On the local Unix box, use the dotted IP address of the remote Unix box and determine if it responds. E.g.
ping <IP_ADDRESS>
2. Hostname resolution
Ideally you want to use the hostname (instead of dotted IP) of remote Unix box. Determine if the local Unix box resolves the remote Unix box's hostname. E.g.
ping <HOSTNAME>
3. Oracle port connectivity
Next you need to test if the TCP port used by the Oracle Listener on that remote Unix box is reachable from the local box (and not firewalled for exampled). Telnet into this port (if the connection is accepted, press enter a few times and the telnet connection will be terminated by the listener). E.g.
telnet <HOSTNAME> 1521
4. Test SQL*Plus connectivity
Once you've established that connectivity to the remote Listener is working, you need to test the TNS connection string and ensure that the connection parameters (such as ORACLE SID) that is passed to the Listener is correct. E.g.
sqlplus scott/tiger@"(DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<HOSTNAME>)(PORT=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA= (SID=<ORACLE_SID>) (SERVER=dedicated)))"
Once all ths is working, should you update the local Unix box's tnsnames.ora file with the TNS connection string and use that TNS alias for connecting via SQL*Plus.
If any of these steps do not work, post the full details of the step PLUS the actual error information (error codes and error messages).

ORACLE 10g commit issue.

Greetings,
this is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 accessed via an OCI-7 application.
OS is a SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (i586).
I encountered the following issue:
session A is connected to ORACLE (OCI-7 application)
and
session B is connected to ORACLE (OCI-7 application).
Session A changes a column value from 50 to 42 and commits.
Session B sees the changed value: 42.
Session C new connects to ORACLE (OCI-7 application).
Session C **does not** see the changed value, it still sees 50.
Session D new connects to ORACLE (sql-plus application).
Session D **does not** see the changed value, it still sees 50.
I'm very puzzled and have no explanation for this case.
I **cannot** repeat the issue.
The application is years old, is very often used and issues like described above are discovered immediately.
Any comment, hint or whatsoever on this issue, particularly on how such a situation possibly could be produced, would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for your time

What ever you are saying (not proof) is not possible, never...
Chances are :
1.Session C/D are not connecting to the right database.
2.Session C/D are not query the commited schema.table.
3.Session C/D are query the Materialized view(s), which needs refresh.
4.Session A has not committed.
Just double check your issue/application. There is no difference either you are using OCI application or I / anyone uses sqlplus.

Removing below line as per correction made by Pierre.
Oracle's thumb rule is "Commited Data is visible to all/any/new/existing session(s) immediately".

Oracle 10g RAC issue

Hi,
I have been able to install oracle 10gR2 clusterware on Solaris 10 successfully on node1.
However, on node2 if failed. I may be doing something wrong in the installation configuration that is causing node2 to fail. I will expolain what I did.
I configured a raw disk partition for data files and a Unix file system for the oracle cluster home. Both node1 and node2 can access raw disk and shared file system for CRS home.
Does anyone know if a single oracle cluster home can be shared between the two nodes?
or should I install two seperate oracle cluster home for each node?
The installation documentation didn't say anything. However, I am experiencing reboot on node2 once the shared disk is mounted. I was thinking if the shared mount point could cause the node2 to reboot.
Thanks for your comments,
Amir
