  • Query to find biggest table in oracle ERP database?

    Hi
    I would like to see the biggest table in Oracle ERP database, can anybody provide me the query?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Thanks. Actually, last week all of a sudden 1GB growth of database happen in one day. In our Oracle ERP instance, every user is attaching many documents to purchase orders. So our management is interested to know which table or file system directory is having this much of growth? We want to restrict the users for not uploading every document with purchase order as it will fill-up our server hard disk soon.

  • How do i give access to developer on Oracle ERP R12 database?

    Hi
    We have a developer joined in our team.He needs access to Oracle ERP R12 Database for developing some reports. For developing reports, he needs access to all database schema access either by sqlplus,developer 10g, plsql developer etc. Giving application developer responsibility will not solve the problem. I cannot give him apps password or other database accounts passwords.
    I created apps_query (read only schema) based on this link http://oracle.anilpassi.com/read-only-schema-in-oracle-apps-11i.html, but he says cannot see or select objects from other schema like inventory, purchasing etc. I doubt his comments. What is the best way to protect and give 'select' privileges on all module database access?
    Need suggestions.

    We clone a special instance from our test/qa environment for the developers and give them the apps password (it does not have production data but is configured with the appropriate orgs, coa, etc.). It is on a separate server from our test, sandbox, training and obviously production environments. With 10-15 developers we have found this the easiest way to go. The developers get read only access accounts in our Production and Volume Test (clone of Prod) environments only on an as needed basis and only for a limited time.
    We also do not give them UNIX access to the development server just sqlnet and ebusiness access. I wrote a utility that allows them to copy files (plsql, oa framework, workfow, etc) onto the server and compile with the appropriate tool. Once their development and unit testing is complete our change control process takes over to migrate the code into the test/qa enviroments for testing by the qa analysts...

  • Oracle XE database take more place everyday

    Hi everyone,
    I know I'm not on the correct forum but I can't access the Oracle XE forum. It keeps telling me "Error: you do not have permission to view the requested forum or category."
    I'm registered to the XE forum (but I never receive the confirmation email). I don't know what's going on. So, I'm posting here joping someone could help me.
    I have installed Oracle XE database and each time I use it, I have the impression that it takes more and more place on my hard drive.
    For example I checked yesterday, it used 18.4Gb, today, it's a little more than 19Gb (Gb = giga bytes).
    I didn't know Oracle XE would use so many hard drive space. I still have 4 giga free on that disk and I was wondering if it is possible to stop this expansion ??
    Please ?
    I don't understand what take so much place. I just have a couple of small schemas (200Mega of data) and that's it. I don't understand why all this space is needed.
    Any help is welcome.
    Thank you.

    However, XE generates a lot of logs, (eg: alert_XE.log), and may generate 'archive logs' which are used for disk crash recovery, and may generate a log of backups if you have RMAN turned on.
    If you are still using the Apex installed with XE, and not the new Apex 3.0.1, then you will get a lot of this kind of information from the documentation at http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/homepage - specifically look at the 2-Day DBA manual in Chapters 6 and 11

  • ERP database did not shutdown

    Hi
    We have Oracle ERP R12.0.6 running on single node configuration. Usually we take full offline backups on friday morning. Even after issuing the command > shutdown immediate, database did not shutdown for 2 hours as some 'Create accounting' concurrent program was running for past 44 hours. Why database did not kill this session? Is our SGA or redolog files size are not proper?
    How to diagnose this issue?

  • Oracle 9I Database, and Mobile Server install history

    Dear Oracle technical representative:
    This TAR started out as a true request for help in solving installation problems with Oracle 9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, and Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1, but it has turned into a history of frustration with out of date, laconic, and often incorrect, and misleading documentation. As a software developer, I understand that documentation is always out of date, at least mine is. Nonetheless, I must speak my mind while understanding, and sympathizing with your situation.
    I struggled through the documentation, and managed to get everything working. While I was doing that, I wrote down the step by step procedure that I used to get Database, and Mobile Server running. By sharing this rough install history with you, it is my hope that it will help prevent others from experiencing the same difficulties that I have had. It has been my observation that when a user has problems installing a trial software package they give up quickly, and do not purchase a copy. It is thus extremely important that the installation instructions, and quick start guide be accurate, attentive to detail, and well written. The first impression is the one that counts.
    The Oracle 9i Lite Installation, and Configuration Guide for Windows NT shipped with Oracle 9i Lite Release 5.0.1 definitely requires, and emergency rewrite. It is terribly out of date, inaccurate, and laconic. My guess is that it is a very sloppy rewrite of poorly written 8i documentation. The Oracle 9i Database Installation Guide for Windows is somewhat better. It however should do a better job informing you that before installing onto a old server the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC), and VC runtime libraries must be up to date. The history describes the trouble with not having the MFC42.dll at version 6. Another corker is that the default port the installer presents is 2030, and not 1521, and that leads to major confusion in the both the Database, and Mobile Server installs.
    Thank you for looking at the history. I hope that it will be of use to you when you update your documentation.

    TAR for Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition, and Oracle Lite Release 5.0.1 Mobile Server
    Installation problems are highlighted in red.
    Installation sequence/history:
         1. Installed Windows NT 4.0 Server SP1 on Dell Power Edge 4300 dual x86 server to wipe the slate clean.
         2. Setup TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX networks
              Computer name YGGDRASILL
              Host name = YGGDRASILL
              Domain = CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
              Internet name = YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSATE.EDU = 130.18.130.225
         3. Installed NT SP3, and Internet Explorer 4.01 from the NT 40 Options Pack CD as the gateway to installing MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0.
         4. Installed MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0 from NT 4.0 Optins Pack CD.
         5. Applied NT 4.0 SP6.
         6. Installed Internet Explorer 5.5 as a prerequisite to installing MADAC 2.6.          
         7. Installed MDAC 2.6
         8. Installed Paint Shop Pro 7 for capturing error screens.
         9. As previous install errors stated that the ordinal function xxxx could not be found in MFC42.dll, the latest version (6.0.8665.0) of the dll was installed, and registered from MS VC++ SP5. Also I upgraded MSVCIRT.dll, MSVCRT.dll, MSCRT40.dll, and added MSVC60.dll from SP5 to be on the safe side.
    According to the installation documents all the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition are satisfied.
         10. Began install of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with target parameters:
              Home directory = D:\Oracle\Ora92
              Database directory = D:\Oracle\oradata
              Global database name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
              Port = 2030
              SID = FIA
              SYSTEM Password = phwphw
              SYS Password = phwphw
              SCOTT Password = phwphw
              DBSNMP Password = I left this one unassigned or empty.
              tnsnames.ora entry for remote TCP/IP connection
              a. CD 1 of 3 load
                   1. Error writting to MFC42u.dll. Action ignore. A check indicated that MFC42u.dll version did not match the updated version of MFC42.dll. Plan is to update after install. Unicode version of MFC is probably not used by the installer.
              b. CD 1 completed with only one problem, and CD 2 load begins.
              c. CD 2 installed without incident., and CD 3 load begins, and completes without farther problems. The only issue to address at this time is to update the MFC42u.dll.
                   HTTP Server URLs
                        http://7778
                        https://4443
         12. Evaluation of install success begins.
              a. Oracle HTTP Service will not start. It is of particular interest that on installs that I do not upgrade the MFC42.dll the Oracle HTTP Service will start correctly, but during the install I get the error message Ordinal nnnn not found in MFC42.dll, and the Oracle MTS Recovery Service crashes during the install. I am caught between a rock and hard spot on this one. See the Figure 1. At the end of this document. I do not need the HTTP Server at this time but I will need it later and this issue must be resolved. It appears that it hangs during startup. I am sorry but I lost the ordinal number nnnn.
              When I try to start the HTTP server from the Programs menu. It Hangs, and does not return an error message. See Figure 2, and the included Apache Setup.txt, the install log, and the HTTPd.conf . The conf, and setup files look OK to me. What is the problem?          
              b. All other services start correctly.
              c. Logged into the database as SCOTT on the server with SQL Plus using the connection information:
                   FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
                   (DESCRIPTION =
                   (ADDRESS_LIST =
                   (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill)(PORT = 1521))
                   (CONNECT_DATA =
                   (SERVER = DEDICATED)
                   (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
              I created some tables, inserted data, and queried for the data. Everthing seems to be working correctly.
              d. Logged in remotely from my AOL account on a dial-up line using Oracle 9i Release 2 Personal Edition installed on my ThinkPad. Every thing tested out as above. I used the connection information:
                   FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
                   (DESCRIPTION =
                   (ADDRESS_LIST =
                   (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu)(PORT = 1521))
                   (CONNECT_DATA =
                   (SERVER = DEDICATED)
                   (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
         13. I concluded that except for the Oracle HTTP Server Service not starting correctly, and that after updating the MFC42u.dll to VC++ SP5 level the stage is set for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1. I copied the MFC42u.dll to the server and registered it successfully.
         14. As Visual Studio 6.0 Professional updates all of the MFC stuff, I decides to install it at this juncture, and apply SP5.
         15. Installed JDK1.3.1 required for Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
    At this time the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1 are satisfied, and MFC, and rt are at version 6.
    It is important to note that after installing MS Visual Studio Professional 6.0 SP5, the HTTP server started working. It is clear that prior to installing Oracle Database it is essential that MFC, and possibly other components are upgraded before starting an installation of Oracle. This probably only applies to old NT servers, but it should be mentioned in the installation instructions.
         16. Attempt to install Oracle Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
              a. File locations Screen
                   Name: = OraLite501               
                   Path: = D:\OraLite501
              b. Select Mobile Server at Installation Screen
              c. Mobile Server Repository Database Information Screen
                   Hostname = YGGDRASILL = hostname from tnsnames.ora
                   Port = 2030 = same as Database port
                        It is troublesome that the port in tsnames.ora is 1521, and not 2030 as was specified in the database install. I will try this port on the reinstall. On the retry, it worked. The problem was that I was mislead by the default port of 2030 at the database install. The database was actually installed on port 1521, and I was not given an error message, or warning. As I am a first time installer of Oracle products this threw me for a loop. The default port for the database needs to be 1521, if regardless of what the user specifies for a port you are going to install on port 1521.
                   Net Service Name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU = Global database name as required by installation instructions.
              d. Yes. At Do you want to install the Mobile Server Repository question.
              e. At Oracle Protocol Support, I checked the SPX box.
              f. Summary, and Install screens function to specifications.
              g. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
                   Database System password:
                        Password = phwphw
              h. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
                   Schema Name: fiafield
                   Password : fiafield
              i. Success at last with the install part. The problem was the wrong port number. See my above comments on this problem, and how Oracle could grease the skids for the next first time installer.
         j. I could not find the httpd.conf file in the place the install instructions said it should be for running the Mobile Server in Oracle HTTP Server. Since only one copy of httpd.conf existed, I added the include D:\OraLite501\mobile\server\bin\wtgias.conf to the bottom of the file assuming that it is the correct one. I the re-booted instead of using apache -k restart. The Oracle HTTP Server started, so there is hope. The install instructions state that the httpd.conf file would most likely be in the program files directory, when they are really installed in the Oracle Lite home directory.
         k. According to the documentation the Mobile Server should start when the Oracle HTTP Server starts with the wtgias.conf file added to the httpd.conf file. It does not. If I use Process Explorer, I know that Apache loaded the wtgias.conf, because both Apache.exe processes that are running have the wtgias.dll loaded. The facts are at this stage of the game are
              1. OraMTSRecoveryService is started
              2. OracleOraHome92HTTPService is started
              3. OracleOraHome92Listener is started on port
              4. OracleServiceFIA is started
              5. Apache.exe has the wtgias.dll loaded
              6. The Moble Server is not running and it should be if the documentation is correct.
              7. If I start the Mobile Server either as a service using wtgsvc -i or with the webtogo command from the DOS prompt, the Mobile Server starts, but when I attempt to log in with the URL http://Yggdrasill:7778/webtogo/startup it inform me the Mobile Server is not started and it is. Figure 3 shows the response I receive from the login attempt.
         l. I finally ran the Mobile Server in total debug mode using the command webtogo -d0", and it gave me the subtle hint that the correct URL is
              http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup.
         When I use the above URL and I can login to the Mobile Server with UN = fiafield, and PW = fiafield. I was confused by the documentation. I was under the assumption that the host address would be either http://Yggdrasill:7778, or http://Yggdrasill:4443. After all when I, installed Oracle Database these URLs were listed. It needs to be made clear in the installation guide for the mobile server that the Mobile Server address is http://Your servers WWW address/webtogo/startup, and the statements about the Mobile Server will start when the Oracle HTTP Server is started needs to be removed since they are incorrect. Also, the documentation should clearly state that the Schema Name, and Password given in the Repository Wizard Screen are synonymous with the username, and password for the Mobile Server login.
         m. After determning the hard way that the Mobile Server does not start when the the Oracle HTTP Server starts, and that the correct URL is http://Internet address/webtogo/startup = http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup, I decide to start the Mobile Server as a service with the command wtgsvc -i. After I re-booted, to my surprise, I could not login to the Mobile Server. When I checked the system services, the webtogo service was running. So to give the start as a service thing a fair chance I re-booted again, but obtained the same results. I thus concluded that the Mobile Server will not run correctly as a service. As it turns out my conclusion was wrong. After waiting a few minutes, my login try was successful. The documentation should indicate that after booting it may be a minute or two before the Mobile Server service become available.
         n. After some serious problems with the installer, and the documentation everything is working. I have a green light to go on to the next stage, which is program the handheld to take advantage of the Mobile Server. I will be glad to get back to programming, and am so thankful that I am not a network administrator.

    FileNotFoundException: /opt/db/oracle/product/10.2.0/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole/config/http-web-site.xml (No such file or directory)
    i didn't find jms.xml,rmi.xml,http-web-site.xml etc in this location /opt/db/oracle/product/10.2.0/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole/config/
    File/directory /opt/db/oracle/product/10.2.0/sysman/emdrep/config/repository.variables does not exist
    Let me know how to slove this error.

    Hi all,
    i started creating database control repository, when i saw emca running i had seen repository created successfully , but sysman user is not created at this point of time. Then i looked into emca_repos_create_2008-04-10_11-57-03-AM.log file but the file is unable to open because it's looking for file emreposcre.sql which creates sysman user in this location /opt/db/oracle/product/10.2.0/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/
    i feel while installing the database these files are not created....? or i need to run any scripts before running emca ....?
    give me some inputs to this thread.
    Thanks,
    nil

  • Is it possible to install Oracle 10g database on a linux Os ?

    Hello all,
    I recently installed Fedora 14, and oracle 10g free edition, on my modest laptop.
    Problem is , I can't upload any scripts, because as i recently learnt from my school teacher, Oracle only works smoothly with Internet explorer browser (i.e.).
    I tried using programs like winetricks to download a linux version of i.e. but in this case Oracle doesn't even open its homepage.
    -In a nutshell, does anyone know a possible way to work with oracle 10g , (or any alternative), that's fully functional on linux (fedora 14) ? Download, Install steps,etc.
    All i need to do is upload simple SQL scripts, and practice my " select from...." commands.
    -Is oracle linux a option ? and what is it?
    Thank you already for any replies, I'm really getting tired of googling threw different forums.

    -what i was trying to do was, after having installed oracle 10g , "go to data base homepage" (openend by firefox) , once logged in with my username, upload a script , and practice typing the different (select from ...group by..etc) sql commands.
    Here is one of several concepts you need to fix in your mind. Databases don't have home pages. Client applications do. Databases store and manage data. Humans at the keyboard see the client application, not the database. Oracle provides some client apps ( iSQLPlus, Oracle Enterprise Manager (Grid Control), dbcontrol, APEX) and even installs some with the database by default, but they are distinctly separate from the database, and so must be identified when talking about user interface issues. Unfortunately, telling us you tried to open "the home page of oracle" tells us nothing at all. If you had said "Tried to log in with iSQLPlus" or "I tried to connect with Apex", it would have conveyed MUCH more information. We would have then had some frame of reference as to what you were seeing.
    To the "upload from where" question : I simply copied the scripts ( .sql , file) from the pc's from school, on usb, then copied them on my own system. When using the "upload scripts" option from oracle, Again, you must distinguish between "oracle" (the database) and whatever client tool you use to connect to it. "Oracle" (the database) doesn't have an "upload scripts" option. Some un-named application does.
    the script is uploaded, but when i try to "run" it , nothing , blank page. no tables, nada. And given what I've said above, you can guess what this statement means. - grin -
    My first guess was, well the teacher said " i.e. only " , so i tried installing i.e. , using winetricks, but i had a feeling i was going off-track, and that surely there must have been a much easier way.
    Even Billy was more charitable toward your teacher than I feel. And when he is so wrong about something as simple as this, makes me wonder what else he is wrong about. And the quality of the teachers calls into question the quality of the school in general.
    In fact, had I been told that by an instructor, I would make it a personal mission to prove him wrong. Not in front of the class (as much short term satisfaction as that may provide) but just by taking my laptop to his office and saying "let me show you something". One of my personal hot buttons is for someone who should know better to pronounce something as "won't work" when I've been doing it for so long and so easily as to just take it for granted.

  • Security problem in oracle 9i Database Configuration Assistant

    Inside the tool Oracle 9i Database Configuration Assistant there is an option by which you can make a "copy" of your Database. This "copy" is called a template and you don4t need any password or aunthentication to do it, you just need the tool to be installed in your server. Once you have a template, you can bring it anywhere and recreate the original database (including data). Again, you don't need any password or aunthentication to do it, further more, in the last step of this process you can change the password of any user (inluding SYS, SYSTEM or another DBA user). The thing about this is that anyone with access to the computer where the database is can make a template of it, take this template to another computer and recreate my database having FULL access to it (structure, data, code ...). And everything without needing any password!!!. I really thing that it is a big problem. Is there any way of preventing this operation?. How can I safely protect my database?. I thought about unistalling the product, but someone can re-install it and everything would be the same. Can someone give me an answer?
    Thanks for everything.
    Pablo Cuenca

    You must protect your database from casual browsing at the OS level. This is not a security hole, per se, since this is a known issue with any and all software. Database Configuration Assistant is not needed for this since one may copy the database without it.

  • Using XA with Oracle ERP application

    Hi,
    We have two Tuxedo Domains that we need to establish global transaction:
    First Domain - Tuxedo 6.4 with Oracle 8.0.6 database.
    Second Domain - Tuxedo 6.4 with Oracle ERP application (Oracel version 8.0.5)
    A Client that calls a Tuxedo server in the first domain this service doing some work
    on the database and then calls another service in the second domain (using Domain
    connection).
    The service in the second Domain activate a Oracle API (package) from the ERP application.
    The Rollback works but we problem with the commit. We recieve the following Oracle
    Error - ORA-06574: Function "VIEW_ALL" references package state can not execute remotly.

    Subbu,
    As I mentioned earlier in this thread, support for Oracle RAC has been
    implemented in Tuxedo 9.1 and in the Tuxedo 8.1 and Tuxedo 9.0 rolling patch
    streams. There are no plans to backport this feature to Tuxedo 8.0. If you
    plan to use RAC transactionally and if it is possible for multiple services
    that could be located on different RAC instances to be accessed in a single
    transaction (which will be true for most applications), then you should
    upgrade to a version of Tuxedo with support for Oracle RAC. The
    documentation at http://e-docs.bea.com/tuxedo/tux91/ads/adorac.htm#248431
    gives an overview of RAC support in Tuxedo.

    Hello Nadeer, Hello Ed,
    Has the implementation of Tuxedo8.0 with Oracle RAC was completed
    successfully ?.
    If it is done , I have few doubts. Could you please help me ?.
    1) I hope your Tuxedo middleware connects to the oracle Database using
    Oracle XA resource manager and the TMS server built using buildtms with
    oracle as RM .As per the mail from Ed, migration of Tuxedo9.1 should be done
    before moving to Oracle RAC.
    Also from BEA documentation, Oracle RAC support was given as new feature in
    Tuxedo9.1.
    Our Application uses Oracle RM to connect to Oracle DB[ Oracle 10g] from
    Tuxedo8.0. So do we need to upgrade to Tuxedo9.1. for using Oracle RAC ?.
    Thanks for your help
    Best Regards

    Subject: How to perform FULL System Export/Imports
    Type: BULLETIN
    Status: PUBLISHED
    Content Type: TEXT/X-HTML
    Creation Date: 18-APR-1994
    Last Revision Date: 30-AUG-2002
    Purpose
    This article highlights some important points to consider when performing
    a Full System Export and Import.
    Scope and Application
    It is intended to assist users performing FULL System Exports and Imports.
    A Full System Export and Import is a useful way to replicate or clean up
    a database. Please note the following guidelines when performing a Full
    System Export and Import:
    1. When performing the import, ensure you are pointing at the correct
    instance. Always check values for the SID and two task driver before
    proceeding.
    *Note:   On Unix systems, just entering a sub-shell, such as using
    C-shell, can change the database that the import would work
    against.
    2. When possible, it is advisable to take a physical copy of the
    exported database and the database you intend to import into before
    starting the import. This ensures any mistakes are reversible.
    3. NEVER run a FULL SYSTEM IMPORT on a machine that has more than one
    database UNLESS you are 100% sure all tablespaces have been
    pre-created. A full import will create any undefined tablespaces
    using the same datafile names as the exported database. There are
    situations where this is very dangerous:
    -> If the datafiles belong to ANY other database, they will be
    CORRUPTED. This is especially true if the exported database is
    on the same machine, because its datafiles will be re-used by
    the database you are importing into.
    -> If the datafiles have names that clash with existing operating
    system files.
    4. When exporting, it is advisable to also produce a report showing
    information you may need before / after the import:
    -> List the tablespaces and datafiles
    -> List the rollback segments
    -> List a count, by user, of each object type such as tables,
    indexes, etc.
    This enables you to ensure that tablespaces have been pre-created
    and to check the success of the import after it is complete.
    5. If you are creating a completely new database from an export, remember
    to create an extra rollback segment in SYSTEM, and make this available
    in the init.ora file before proceeding with the import.
    6. There are some versions of export that do not retain sequence numbers
    correctly. It is advisable to select next_value for each sequence
    after the export so that these can be checked after import.
    Following these guidelines will help you to avoid major problems.

    Subject: How To Copy an Oracle Database To Another Machine
    Type: HOWTO
    Status: PUBLISHED
    Content Type: TEXT/X-HTML
    Creation Date: 12-OCT-2001
    Last Revision Date: 01-OCT-2003
    goal: How to copy an Oracle database to another machine
    fact: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition
    fix:
    Pre-requisites: The copy is between 2 machines, both have to be on the same OS
    and have to have exactly the same database version installed.
    1. Make sure the database you want to copy was closed with a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE,
    SHUTDOWN NORMAL or SHUTDOWN TRANSACTIONAL.
    2. Copy init.ora and control files to create instance and be able to go in
    mount mode. Check the init.ora for the locations where the controlfiles have
    to be, if those locations are not valid on the machine put the control files on
    different places and adjust the init.ora accordingly.
    3.a. Copy the datafiles (all of them).
    b. Copy the redo-logfiles (all of them).
    4.a. (Unix only) Set the environment variables:
    ORACLE_SID - set to the database name you wish to create
    ORACLE_HOME - set to full pathname of the Oracle system home directory
    PATH - needs to include $ORACLE_HOME/bin
    b. (NT/2000 only) Do 'set ORACLE_SID=<SID>'
    Use oradim to create the service for the instance. For more information
    on oradim please refer to (the part that refers to creating a new instance):
    Note:68720.1 Creating a new 7.3, 8.0, 8.1 Instance/Database
    5. Use servermanager (check the name to use for your version of oracle) or
    sqlplus (version 9i and above) to startup the database in mount mode.
    Do
    CONNECT INTERNAL/<PASSWORD>
    then
    STARTUP MOUNT
    Then do a rename of the copied datafiles if they are not in the same path as on
    the other machine. For all the files that are in the result of the query:
    SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
    do
    ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<oldfullpath>\<filename>' to <
    newfullpath>\<filename>';
    6. Query the datadictionary for the old location of the redolog files using:
    SELECT MEMBER FROM V$LOGFILE;
    If the new place is not the same as the old do:
    ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<oldfullpath>\<redologfilename>' to &
    lt;newfullpath>\<redologfilename>';
    7. Now open the database:
    ALTER DATBASE OPEN;

    Hi,
    If the values for R12 are higher then you need to adjust the kernel parameters values and it should work for both 11i and R12.
