Updating to Apex 3.2 on Amazon EC2

Hello,
I am using a small Amazon Elastic Compute 2(EC2) AMI with oracle 10g XE 32-bit. The instance is allready installed but apex is 2.0.1 and i want to update it to 3.2, maybe even 4.0. The problem is that when i connect (using Putty)
and i try to unzip the apex_3.2.zip i get this error:
checkdir error: cannot create apex
unable to process apex/apxsqler.sql
checkdir error: cannot create apex
unable to process apex/utilities/readme.txt
... and so on for every file.
My AMI id is: ami-7acb2f13, small instance in the us-east.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply, tried both wireless and with ethernet cable - same result Have updated iTunes also to no avail.

ASM installation on RHEL 6.4 in Amazon EC2

I thought I'd perform an installation of 12cR1 to do a little testing. So I launched a new instance in Amazon EC2 and picked an AMI for 64-bit RHEL 6.4.
All started smoothly, but I've got stuck preparing a disk for ASM.
My first plan was to install ASMLIB. I see from the documentation that I need kmod-oracleasm (kmod-oracleasm-2.0.6.rh1-2.el6.x86_64.rpm), and that this is in the RHEL supplementary channel.
$ yum repolist all

Does Amazon EC2 provide the RHEL supplementary channel, and if so what credentials do I need to provide? Otherwise I guess I would need my own RHN subscription, which seems expensive for a self-learning instance.
So my second plan was to avoid ASMLIB and implement udev rules.
I created a 64GiB volume and attached it to the instance as /dev/sdh. On the instance it appears as /dev/xvdl:
$ fdisk -l /dev/xvdl
Disk /dev/xvdl: 68.7 GB, 68719476736 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8354 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xf4c9fedb
    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id System
/dev/xvdl1               1        8354    67103473+ 83 Linux
$ sudo scsi_id -g -u -d /dev/xvdl
$
So scsi_id doesn't return a value to use in the udev rule. I've found references to this which suggest setting disk.EnableUUID. Is this option available in Amazon EC2 at all? Or is there an alternative way of getting a UUID for the disk?
Any help with these questions, or suggestions for alternative solutions, would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

Did you try this command ?

Questions about BPM 11gR1 on Amazon EC2

Hi,
I have started image ami-c241aaab (oracle-soa-bpm-11gr1-ps2-4.2-pub) on Amazon EC2, using a spot request.
When I terminate this image an start it again, using a spot request, a new EBS volume is created.
Is that right?
I am able to connect to it using Putty.
After the SOA suite is started I am able to connect to it locally (using telnet localhost 7001 for instance)
But I am not able to connect to it remotely
(I did add the following to my default security group
- tcp - 7001 - 7001 - 0.0.0.0/0)
What am I missing here?
see http://blogs.oracle.com/SOA/2009/10/soa_suite_on_ec2_-_draft.html?msgid=8295995&eid=3915339734&lid=2
and http://blogs.oracle.com/bpm/2010/06/bpm_11gr1_now_available_on_ama.html
Groeten,
HJH

Instances launched using Spot Requests can only be terminated and can't be restarted. For you to be able to restart the same instance you need to stop it not terminate it. This is only possible if you launch it normally (not a spot request)
As for your inability to connect to the WebLogic server remotely, if you are behind a corporate firewall, ensure that port 7001 for http/https is allowed. Other than that there is nothing that occurs to me since you seem to have setup your security group properly, at least for port 7001. So you should be able to access Enterprise Manager and WebLogic Console. For other applications, you also need to add ports 8001 and 8888 and 1521.

Can I Manage virtual machines using SCCM? What about Amazon ec2 instances?

Hi All,
As part of my lab environment, I would like to discover and manage virtual machines within ESXi platform and a few on Hyper-V. As part of this,
1] Do we need SC-VMM to create/discover/manage virtual machines or can this be done by using just SCCM 2012 module?
2] Does SCCM provide any connectors to public cloud services (ex: Amazon EC2 or Google Cloud services)? Can this be done using SCCM?
Any help on this would be appreciated. thanks

Thanks Jason.
A few follow up questions just to make sure I understand you correctly:
a] Statement: I understand SCCM can manage OS within any VM (I just realized my set up has discovered 2 VM's running Win 2008 OS via AD discovery method). My confusion began after going thru SC-VMM docs. I assumed, once you have SC-VMM set up, it will discover/manage
either ESXi servers or Citrix or other vendor hypervisors and then discover VM's within the hypervisors. But as you said, SCCM can manage OS within any VM.
b] Q: my sccm set up is part of domain 'A' and its discovering systems/users as part of domain 'A'. Is there a way to discover systems as part of domain 'B'? When I look into 'discovery methods' -> Active directory system discovery -> Add a new container
-> path -> select a new container -> it selects only domain 'A'
As a result I'm not able to add a secondary domain for system discovery. IS this how its supposed to be? Discovery runs only within one domain? (or) am I missing something here?
c] When you said 'Yes, I do think (I'm not familiar with all things VMM though) that there is a connector to EC2', did you mean a connector from SCCM or a connector from VMM component?
thanks again for all the help.

Oracle 10xe on Amazon EC2 - pricing

Hello
I want to try creating an Oracle 10gXE on the Amazon EC2 for proof of concept, which means I need it to be free or close to
I've created my Amazon EC2 setup, and checked the pricing which i believe is close to 0 as long as the load is very little
Now I want to create my Oracle 10gXE database using the provided AMI, but I'm not sure about the pricing.
Do you now if I will be charged anything from Oracle doing this, and if so, how much?
And how much will this setup impact my EC2 usages, hence how much will Amazon charge me for doing the POC?
I only need ballpark figures, but as mentioned I only have been given a small budget to do a proof of concept on this setup, so it's important to me that I don't go over budget
Best regards
Klaus

Oracle 10gXE is free, Oracle does not charge you any fees.
To start with Amazon, you can have a free EC2 Micro instance which is suitable for Oracle 10gXE. Amazon offers this instance for new customer as free and i think it's for one year.
You safe if you use 10gXE and AWS Micro instance.

Deploy ADF Fusion Web Application on Amazon EC2 Weblogic

Hi,
I am trying to deploy ADF Fusion Web Application (developed using JDev) on Amazon EC2 Weblogic app server but with no success.
Can anyone enlighten me how to deploy ADF Fusion Web App on Amazon EC2 Weblogic?
Thanks for kind assistance!

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt assistance.
I managed to run "wls_jumpstart" but I am unable to start the console even though I have created a domain.
I cannot find any instructions anywhere about deploying ADF Fusion Web Apps on Amazon EC2 Weblogic or any case studies of success anywhere.
Hence, I am not sure if ADF Runtime is available on the Weblogic on Amazon EC2. Can you please help me in this area as well?
It will be great if you can point me to some instructions on how to load web apps to Amazon EC2 Weblogic as I am quite new to both JDev and Amazon EC2.
Thanks.

How to run a Lync Server 2013 in amazon ec2 Instance ?

Hi Friends,
I would like to install a Lync server 2013 in amazon ec2 instance. Let me know can i install Active Directory server, Lync Server 2013 and Media server in a single amazon instance ?. If it possible how can i do it ?. And is any other features need to install
to get the fully functional Lync server. Please help me am newbie in Lync environment

You can get Lync working in EC2 and I have lab'd his many times. Having said that the process isn't that straight forward (especially if you plan to do voice) a lot of planning and testing, specifically of the network would need to be undertaken.
You can add multiple interfaces to an EC2 instance (see here http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-eni.html)
If you're hard set on using EC2 you can get it to work, but I personally would look at Office 365 E4 or a small on-premise deployment depending on your requirements.

Hi , I am facing the same issue...could you help me with steps that you followed to resolve this?

Looking for deployment instructions PeopleSoft AMI instances on Amazon EC2

I am looking for deployment instructions on how to launch PeopleSoft AMI instances on Amazon EC2 platforms. There are many AMIs posted by both Oracle and Amazon together to deploy demo environment, and no where I found the installation/deployment instructions. Template instructions for the following AMIs is pointing to Oracle VM page, not Amazon's AWS instructions.
https://aws.amazon.com/amis?ami_provider_id=4&selection=ami_provider_id
Please help!

We're certainly aware of and interested in our customers' desire to use Amazon's infrastructure for a quick and inexpensive deployment of PeopleSoft for demo or pilot purposes. Please continue to use this forum to provide any feedback regarding Oracle applications, particularly PeopleSoft, deployed on Amazon EC2. We have appreciated the feedback we've seen regarding PeopleSoft OVM Templates. This forum has demonstrated the interest and enthusiasm customers and users have for PeopleSoft and virtualization.
As you are aware, Oracle has a number of broad statements regarding support for our products on the Amazon infrastructure. We are still reviewing the business and technical complexities associated with Oracle-built and delivered AMI's available directly from Amazon compared with our customers using our OVM images for deployment on Amazon's infrastructure. There is no official ETA for FSCM 9.1 and HCM 9.1 AMI's from Oracle.

Oracle VM templet for Peoplesoft on Amazon EC2

Has someone successfully setup Oracle VM templet for Peoplesoft on Amazon EC2. I am able to login but the database or app servere setup are not launching automatically and i am getting no clue how to run the setup ?
Thanks!

Same here. I expected the set up scripts to run as documented in the VM documentation.

LCCS on Amazon EC2

Is there a way to get LCCS to work on an Amazon EC2 instance? I'd like to have peer-to-peer video chat, using EC2 as the handshaking service--or is there a different preferred method of deployment?

Ya I think you're a little confused on what LCCS is my friend - LCCS is an all-in-one solution. It takes care of the whole conferencing problem with minimal code, making Adobe do all the heavy lifting. FMS isn't used at all - I don't think it's even possible to use a combination of LCCS and FMS because that would be pointless - FMS already has handshake galore built-in. The only reason you'd want to use FMS is because deploying your own FMS cluster in the long run might be cheaper than LCCS (but depending on what you're planning on doing, you'll probably have to write a lot more code to use FMS.) LCCS is a god-send to this world because it costs nothing to deploy, is ridiculously simple, and is still insanely competitive.
If I understand your problem (and I face a similar one) is that you want to have video chat but do not want to pay bandwidth fees? Unfortunately there's no such thing as a free lunch and you're still going to have to pay some bandwidth fees, just not much - LCCS will take care of the handshake (which you'll pay for) if you force peer-only but then the video is free. This isn't necessarily smart, however, because:
1. Peer-only doesn't always work because of network conditions.
2. You can't broadcast a peer-to-peer video session to lots of people (not sure when your use-case is.)
3. You can't record the video sessions if you do this (pretty sure this is true, need to double check.)
Anyways, good luck - LCCS is the bomb. If you're trying to minimize your fees, I would just try to force all connections to be peer-only and then pay for the guys where it doesn't work. User experience is everything - users don't want to see they can't use your service because of some technical difficulty.

Linux 3.3.8-1-ARCH hangs on Amazon EC2?

Ok, I have been testing an arhc linux setup for a cloud webserver setup on AWS for the last month or so. Until now everything went without a hitch. Today I spin up a new instance to test the updates and I can't get it to come up after rebooting. I'm not very well versed in EC2's quirks and couldn't do much in form of debugging the AMI.
The hits on pacman -Syyu are:
Replace libusb with core/libusbx
which apparently doesn't affect the behavior
and the following packages are marked for update:
apache-2.2.22-4 bison-2.5.1-1 dovecot-2.1.7-4 fakeroot-1.18.4-1
filesystem-2012.6-2 glibc-2.15-11 icu-49.1.2-1
initscripts-2012.06.1-1 krb5-1.10.2-1 libmysqlclient-5.5.25-1
linux-3.3.8-1 linux-api-headers-3.3.8-1 mkinitcpio-0.9.2-1
mysql-5.5.25-1 mysql-clients-5.5.25-1 pinentry-0.8.1-4
psmisc-22.17-1 rsync-3.0.9-3 sqlite-3.7.13-1 systemd-tools-185-1
I am aware of the filesystem issue so the actual update command is as advised:
pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem && pacman -S filesystem --force
EDIT: I have done the Linux update separately and it is pretty clear that something crashes the vm in either linux-3.3.8-1 or linux-api-headers-3.3.8-1
Any news on that is welcome.

I've found the same solution about hour ago here is the link

I had different errors than in this post but the solution works fine. Topic can be closed now.

How to run a update from APEX 2.1 to APEX 2.2???

I am using version 2.1, and I want to update to 2.2, I downloaded the file from OTN, but after unziping, I found it is not a simple exe file but a bunch of sql and other files, how to run the upgrading, I think it is too diffficult in that way.
How many files I need to run in the SQL plus?
Which one is the one I need?
Puzzled?

So there will be no upgrading for Oracle DB XB APEX?The way you ask that implies that I said that this will never be possible and that is not what I said.
If I want to upgrade to 2.2, I need DBs other than XE?Today you have the option of installing Application Express 2.2 in Oracle Database 9iR2 or the SE, SE1, or EE editions of Oracle 10g Database.

Running FMS 3.5.3 on Amazon EC2 (Windows 2008)

Hi All,
Does anyone know of any issues with running FMS on Amazon's EC2 Cloud environment? We're running some live streaming applications, but are hearing reports from users of random disconnects. Has anyone else run into this issue? Thank you.
-Costin

Hi All,
We're getting some bad audio/video stuttering using EC2 instances. Does anyone have any experiencing hosting FMS in "the cloud" and things that can be done to improve user experience?
Thanks,
