Test environment on Linux BOXI R3.1

Hi all,
i m planing to create a test environment for BOXIR 3.1 on VMWARE (Leptop). i will be thankfull for any best practice tips for this installation ..
Thanks

Hi;
on Linux installation when the installer fails to validate licence keys, it's usually an issue with the c++ libraries installed on the system that might be newer than the one used for the installer, you can try to install some compatibility libraries (on RedHat these rpms are named: compat-libstdc++ ... )

Issues with multiple SOA developers on a Linux box

We have several developers using JDeveloper TP4 on a Linux box. This works well until more than one attempts to start the embedded OC4J application server.
The first works well, but when another developer attempts to start a second instance, s/he gets told that the needed ports are already in use. It asks if it should try a different set of ports. Choosing yes does not work. I can provide more detail about the failure if needed.
We've also tried picking a completely different set of ports from Tools -> Preferences -> Run: Edit Server Instances: Server Instances -> Default Server -> Startup. That also did not appear to work.
I'd really like to have a solution that allows concurrent development and testing on this Linux box. Any suggestions and help is appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. I tried this and ran into the following:
1. The application working directory appears to be $JOH/j2ee/home as opposed to jdevinstance/system11.1.1.0.22.49.49/o.j2ee/embedded-oc4j/config. I put my properties files in the former and was able to load them. I was surprised that this wasn't the config subdirectory. Is there something I should have done differently?
2. How do I debug my web application that I deploy in this manner? I am able to deploy my web project to the stand-alone OC4J instance, but if I right-mouse on my web service and select "Debug", it doesn't let me choose in the stand-alone OC4J. It only lists the embedded one as a choice.
3. While it appears to have deployed my web application (as seen in the executable's output and via the application servers navigator), my BPEL project is unable to communicate with it when JDeveloper tries to compile it (Load of wsdl "..." failed and Cannot find Port Type "..." for "..." in WSDL Manager. This leads me to believe that the web service wasn't properly deployed.
So, any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks again.

How to create Dev, Test and UAT environment of OAS 10g on single Linux box

Hi
According to Paul's forms/reports installation thread, i installed standalone versions of Forms & Reports (10.1.2.0.2)services on Linux suse 9. And it is working fine.
Now my next requirement is that i want to create three environment on my Linux box dev, test and UAT. this one which i have created before i am using that environment as dev.
Kindly provide me some direction that how can i create test and UAT environment on same machine which should point to different source files and databses.
1. Do i need to install again standalone forms/reports services twice? if yes then how can i access them?
2. Is there any setting in existing OAS configuration which can divert me to different sources and databases. i saw something like this somewhere
http://oas.com:7777/forms90/f90servlet?config=UAT&userid=cg_am2/training@tardist
bla bla bla.
Please help.
JM

Hi
Yes if your server has the resources (CPU and memory) of doing so the best thing to do would be to install Dev , Test and UAT in three different ORACLE_HOMES with different port numbers for the Oracle HTTP Server to listen on. There is however a non-technical point to install the UAT environment on a seperate box or to do the UAT testing when Dev and Test processes are not running otherwise this will blur the results of the UAT tests. Create different environment files to source these installations. You could even install three separate standalone webcaches in their own ORACLE_HOME in front of these environments. Keepin mind though that it would be better for availability, ease of management it would be better to install your environments on separate boxes. The config=UAT in the URL points to a forms service for an application called UAT I guess. Unless you have only one application in all the environments you could create forms applications in one ORACLE_HOME, but you would end up with just one environment instead of three. Going for the option where you install the environments on different boxes will save you a lot of headaches.
cheers

Is there a way to install 10G on a Linux box with less than 1G of Ram?

Hi All,
This maybe a stupid question, but I'm going to ask anyway.
I've got a Linux box with 256 Ram running CentOS. I can up it to 512, but playing with the 10G R2 Enterprise install, it complains about it not having 1G of ram needed for install. So is 1G the minium ram for Oracle 10G R2 or is there a way to install it on a box with less ram? This is not a production environment, I'm just learning and testing.
Also, what is the min ram requirements for the Express version?
Thanks,
Mike

Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE 11G(on 64 bit Linux box)

We are unable to connect to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE 11G which is on 64 bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Infrastructure: OBIEE 11.1.1.5 64bit, on 64 bit Red Hat Linux Enterprise Linux 5.6 , MS SQL Server 2008 on 64 bit Microsoft Windows Server
Issue Description: Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE11G RPD
Details: We are unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE which is on a 64 bit Linux box. We created the ODBC connection on Linux box to the SQL server. Whenever we try to import metadata it throws an error that says ‘Connection Failed’.
Here are the steps we followed to setup the ODBC connection on Linux box.
1) We updated the user.sh file with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 values that point to $ORACLE_HOME/bifoundation/odbc/lib
This is where we found the driver for SQL server SEmsss23.so.
2) We updated the odbc.ini file with the entry for SQL server with the connection details
SI_SQL_Server_DEV = SQL Server
[SI_SQL_Server_DEV]
Driver=/u001_OAS/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/odbc/lib/SEmsss23.so
Description=DataDirect 5.1 SQL Server Wire Protocol
Address=10.230.216.52,54970

ConnectionRetryCount=0
ConnectionRetryDelay=3
Database=SVBDW_NEW
LoadBalancing=0
LogonID=SIDatavalidation
Password=~~~Password123
QuoteID=No
ReportCodePageConversionErrors=0
3) We updated the IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR with single quotes instead of double quotes in the DB features of the RPD
4) We updated the bash_profile file to point the ODBCINI variable to the path where the OBIEE odbc.ini file is present.
Export ODBCINI=/u001_OAS/Oracle/Middleware/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIApplication/coreapplication/setup/odbc.ini
The error in nqsserver.log file says “[nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: IM002 code: 0 message: [DataDirect][ODBC lib] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.”

Hi,
Make sure SQL Configuration Manager make sure the TCP/IP enabled. please try below method
Method 1
Re Create a new ODBC & Oracle Bi Server DSN Configuration test it and use it in the connection pools.
define your ODBC data source in your server where the BI Server is installed. Check your DB connections in your physical layer and make they are defined on your BI Server as well.
Method 2:
try using the complete TNS in below format in the datasource name section:
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST =DB IP)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL) ) and provide the credentials.
Method 3:
To use the OCI call interface you need to have oracle client DB to be installed so that you can establish a connection using that DB credentials and connect to the remote dB and then import the tables.....this is the rule of thumb.
hope helps you.
Thanks

Online SAP testing environment

Hello friends,
I am looking for an online SAP testing environment site where i can do my FI configuration practice or alternatively a site where i can get free IDES software download so I can prepare myself for the industry. If you have an idea about how to solve my problem please help me.
Regards
Tsitsi

Hi Srikrithi,
SAP Testing is all about test business process/functionality & outcome using manual/automation testing. For this I find knowledge of some Buniess Process/Functional Module must...but as you are alerady an ABAPer so must be aware of some of them. & Being ABAPer you will be better at White Box Testing. Do not take it as switching to testing & come back to ABAP dev or vice-versa; its just a matter of work responsibilities & your role in the organization. But yes...if you go for automation testing then must have knowledge of QTP or LoadRunner. Search more for term SAP TAO as well.
Hope this will help you to explore more.
Warm Regards,

Oracle RAC in my Home Linux Box.

Hi,
I have two Linux box at home loaded with RHEL 4, both have normal IDE HDD, is there any way, so that i can test ORACLE RAC on them, i just want to test RAC and get know about its working etc. please give me some idea about it, thanks

There's no need to have SCSI or RAID devices, although recommended for production. Follow simply the installation guide, besides there are some step-by-step documents here on OTN.

Installing second domain for forms testing environment?

Hi!
I've a physical windows server for running my forms applications (11.1). On installing fusion middleware suite I created a domain with the assistant. Further more another assistent configured my forms server into this domain.
The problem is that I've no forms testing environment. So the idea was to create another domain for testing and setup a second forms server in this new testing domain. The pysical machine has enough power to server both domains.
Is this a supported configuration and can it be done with the assistants?
Thanks
Markus

I wouldn't say that the additional administration effort is much or bad. I also don't agree 100% that the dev instance don't influence the prod instance when both are hosted on the same server.
When hosting both instances on one server and one oracle home you will always be on the same patchset on the OS and Oracle side.
Consider you are encountering a bug in forms when developing a new feature which is fixed in a one-off patch. To test this one-off patch in dev you most certainly will have to take down the production instance too as both of them will access the same Oracle Home and Middleware Home. Same thing is for OS patches. If you are seperating dev and prod instances on different machines you have the possibility to test your configurations proper on your test machine without influencing production.
This will guarantee you that you have always a tested environment in production.
Think about scalability: developers tend to make boo-boos while developing new things. One forms session <can> take down a whole machine (I have seen that and I have done that - on a development machine). If this happens on a development machine you have 10 angry developers which can be calmed down with a sixpack beer; 100+ people plus the managment which should be working with the software you developed are not tranquilized so easy when they cannot work for 20 minutes because of a infinite loop in development ;).
I agree that you might have additional license costs; but if memory serves Oracle VM and Oracle Enterprise Linux have no additional license costs which breaks down the costs to OFMW 11g. And I am not too sure if you have to pay (the full price) for development instances (I am a developer, not a sales person). But this is best discussed with your oracle sales representative.
Again, this is just my opinion; maybe someone else can give you more input.
cheers

OBIEE on Linux Box!

Hi Friends,
I have to setup a complete environment from installing OBIEE 10g, BI Apps on Linux box. Total we have 3 box running on Linux and one on Windows.
So please can some one guide me as to how to collaborate in setting up this environment? Perhaps a road map.
Yours

Road map:
1) Google for the hundreds of online guides on hwo to install OBIEE => 2) Install OBIEE => 3) Job done!

Can you have more than one App server on same linux box?

On a Linux box I want to set up a dev app server and a seperate test app server (on the same linux box).
Is this possible or do I need 2 linux boxes (1 for dev and 1 for test)?
Thanks in advance...

Yes it is possible. I did it on a Sun SPARC
server. Make sure to install into 2 separate Oracle Home directories and change the port settings. I used a single O/S owner.

Relocate Linux box(HTMLDB,Oracle 10g db) to Another location

We have Linux box in one are we want to move it to another area ,we are planing to keep the name of the server the same but the IP adress willl change.
This Box has 4 oracle 10g databases
Oracle application server
Oracle HTMLDB application.
What will be the effect of changing the IP address on these componets.
I f you have any ideas please let me know, there not going to be any testing so i have to figure out all risks before we do this.
Thanks

Not sure of app server if you have hardcoded ip references. If you are using the embedded plsql gateway, there will be no problems.
Either way, the changes will not be a big deal.

Working in test environment. Need help with creating a notification subscription

I am pulling my hair out here. Whatever I have left. I am experimenting in my test environment. I am trying to create a notification subscription. Under criteria, when I select Support Group, I only have a choice of 3. Since my test is a copy of Prod, I
am confused here because in Prod, I have about 20 Support Groups to choose from. I found a List under Library --> Lists called Incident Tier Queue and the 3 Support Groups I see are in this list. Thing is, I can't edit the list. I get some kind of validation
error. What I would like to know is when you are creating a Subscription and you select Support Group in the Criteria, where is it looking or what List if any is it looking at to get that information and how would I change it?

if OOB when creating an email subscription the Support Group check box above points to the List Incident Tier Queue, how does one change that to point to the Service Request Support Group? There has to be a change somewhere else that allows it to point to
the customized list.
You can't change that. The Support Group property defined on the Incident class is an enumeration property that uses the IncidentTierQueue enumeration (list). This property's proper name is "TierQueue".
The Support Group property defined on the Service Request class is an enumeration property that uses the ServiceRequestSupportGroupEnum enumeration (list). This property's proper name is "SupportGroup".
Those two properties are unrelated.
You can't "point" an existing property to a different list. You can only modify the values in the list by adding values in an unsealed management pack.
If, in your production environment, you have a bunch of options in your Incident's "Support Group" property beyond Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3, then somewhere in your production environment is an MP that contains those new properties. That MP happens
to be the "ServiceManager.IncidentManagement.Configuration" MP. The friendly name, in the management packs list, is "Service Manager Incident Management Configuration Library".
Now, as you say, if there are a bunch of list values in the Incident support group in your production environment, then you need to import that MP into your test environment. Then, when managing Incident criteria, you'll be able to choose from all of those
options.
Furthermore..let's say that your support groups are only defined in the ServiceRequestSupportGroupEnum..then you can't use them in your Incident criteria. Neither in your test nor your production environments. The IncidentTierQueue enum has to be updated
with any options you want to use during Incident subscription creation.
Lastly (if the above is true)..are you sure you want to create an Incident subscription and not a Service Request subscription?

How to move new container to TEST environment from DEV

Hi,
I have added new container choosing option as copy from existing container (Financial_Oracle 11_5_10)
Now container named as DEV_Finance, modifed source system parameters.
coming to Execution plan :
I have modifed existing execution plan Finance_Oracle 11_5_10 ( removed subject areas of Finance and added subject areas of DEV_Finance)
Please guide me what needs to be moved to TEST environment.
Containers : Financial_Oracle 11_5_10 and DEV_Finance or ONLY DEV_Finance
Execution Plan : how we will export no idea
Regards,
sp

Hi
In Tools->Dac Repository Management click on export and select the container you want to export.I think
as your custom container is still referencing original container except for the parameters changed............so u need to export both of them...by selecting both of them in the check box....hope this helps

Oracle/linux box and oracle NT server

Hi!
I have very specific question and wonder if anybody can be of
help. We're going to setup web page using oracle data. Which
oracle product should we use for getting information off of the
NT server running oracle 7.3.4? Is there a free client license
for Linux client - that would be possibly helpful for setting up
web server on the linux box and launching sqlplus in the linux
environment in order to take data from different box - NT server.
I've known that there is a product for linux called Web DB that
can be rather helpful. Is there any other way to establish
connection between linux web server and NT oracle database? If
anybody has any idea i would be very glad to hear from you.

you can access an Oracle server running on any Host from Linux as
long as you have Oracle SQL-Net installed.
On top of SQL-Net you can use any other software, like Perl,
PHP3, etc.
If you use Perl, you need to install the perl modules DBI and
DBD-Oracle.

Problem with local test environment

ever since i upgraded to snow leopard my local test environment will not display my web pages, only a bank white page. i reinstalled php and mysql and it hasn't helped. anyone else have this same problem or know of a fix because i really need it up and running for school.

Check the gcc version in your Linux distribution. On RedHat Linux AS 3.0, OCCI supports gcc 3.2.3 for 10.1 & 10.2
