URGENT, Creating the Oracle Inventory Group

OS: 5.2
DB:10g Rel 2
Hello All,
I am installing 10g on AIX.
Per below link/document.
Page 2-11 (Pre Installation Task)
$ more /etc/oraInst.loc
/etc/oraInst.loc: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
** Creating the Oracle Inventory Group
If the oraInst.loc file does not exist, then create the Oracle Inventory group by
using the following procedure:
1. Enter the following command:
smitty security
Choose the appropriate menu items to create the oinstall group.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b19075.pdf
But I alreday created oinstall group.
Please note: we used oraabc instead of oracle.
id oraabc
uid=207(oraabc) gid=14(oinstall) groups=15(dba),16(oper)
Do I still need to create the oraInst.loc file or its is a part of installation?
DN

As far I know oraInst.loc file is created during installation procedure.
It consists of path to oracleInventory directory and installation group in your case - oinstall.
I never installed Oracle on AIX but I belive installation is (allmost) the same as on Linux or Solaris.

It should be taken care of by the installer.
on the same page, it says "When you install Oracle software on the system for the first time, Oracle Universal Installer creates the oraInst.loc file."

Error in Creating the Oracle Fail Safe Group during installation on MSCS

Hi All,
I am installing ECC 6 dual stack on MSCS.
I have done steps till CI installation as per installation guide.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
1) did you stop the CI before making the modifications as stated in the installation guide?
 Yes
2) is your database currently running on the same physical cluster node as your CI?
 No.Database instance is running on DB node and CI is on CI node.
3) is your database online?
 Yes,it is up and running
Please let me know if there is anyway to resolve this issue.

Oracle Inventory group

Hi,
I got this in my Oracle linux 5.7,
[root@localhost /]# grep oinstall /etc/group
oinstall:x:502:
[root@localhost /]#
Do I need to remove Oracle Inventory group as I am now to reinstall 10g XE there?
Many Thanks & Best Regards,
HuaMin
Edited by: HuaMin Chen on May 29, 2012 12:03 PM

Hello HuaMin,
you don't need a grid user for your 10g XE installation. If you want to install a Management Agent for Grid Control, please refer to the "Installation and Configuration Guide" that corresponds to your Grid Control version. Perhaps start at the [url http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/grid-control/documentation/oem-091904.html]Enterprise Manager Documentation home page.
Please also make sure you meet the license agreements for both 10g XE and EM.

Unable to create the Profit center groups

Hi,
We have created new company codes in R3Dev and also created the
validation rules for the same. We have assigned the Set ID's to the
validation rules. These Set ID's gets created when profit center groups
are created for the new company codes.
We have transported the company code configuration settings and the
validation rules to R3QA.
Now in R3QA, when I try to create the profit center groups in KCH5N for
the new company codes, it says "the group already exists".This is
caused due to the SET ID's which also got transported along with
validation rules. I have checked the table 'SETHEADER" which shows the
SET ID's for the new company codes.
Could you please a solution to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Rakesh

Hi Mohan,
Since Set Id's have moved to quality along with vaidation rules, I am to create the profit center groups, as it says the group already exists. I believe the set Id's need the master data maintained in R3Q, before they are transported. Since this is not maintained, with the transport, the data is sitting for Set Ids at the table level (Table: SETHEADER), because of which I am to unable to create the profit center groups.
Thanks,
Rakesh

Manually creating the oracle services inside windows services

Hi All,
After discussion we came up for the following conclusion and would like to have further discussion on the topic.
- We have node 1 windows 2003 enterprise sp2 available on one of the server which has Oracle 11g R1 having custom database installed on it.
- All database and Oracle server files are stored on shared storage.
- It created windows services inside which we will be registered under cluster administrator
- We will install Oracle 11g R1 on node 2 (Passive node of windows cluster) with the software only option.
- We will manually create the oracle services on this node with the same name as we have on node 1.
In case the node 1 will be failed, node 2 will fail over and will become active node for the users.
Is there any one involve in such practice? did it work ?
Thanks,

I am installing 10g client and create an ORCL service using the Net configuration Assistant. I don't see this service when i open ontrol panel/administrative tools/services. Is this normal?
I thought i wld see it and start the service and listener. Some confusion here.... first of all, listener is a server process, which listens for incoming calls, you don't have it on a client.
Secondly, the service you created with Net Configuration Assistant is just an alias you'll use to connect a remote database to, and does not create any Windows service. You can find its specifications within tnsnames.ora file, in ORACLE_HOME\network\admin directory.
I'd read some documentation

How to create the oracle database for MDM

Hello Friends,
I am new to MDM technology. I have been asked to install MDM 5.5 on windows with oracle database.
i have gone through the installation guides and master guide of MDM. But in the installation the procedure is not given to create the data base after oracle installation. i want to know do i need to create the database manually if yes then what should be the DBSID of the database and schema name etc.
Please help.
Thanks,
Manoj

Well, let's rock.
Oracle database creation
Use Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (Start -> Programs -> ...) to create a new database.
The database naming (on Step 3) is up to you. I used MDM as for SID and MDM.<MYHOSTNAME>.<MYDOMAIN> as for the db name.
Be sure you select UTF8 for the character set (on Step 12) - this requirement is mentioned in the SAP MDM Installation Guide.
All other settings can go default.
Listener and TNS name configuration
The next step is to configure a listener and tns name for your database.
Run the Oracle Net Configuration Assistance and select the "Listener configuration". Default settings on the wizard pages should suite your configuration.
Click Finish.
Run the Oracle Net Configuration Assistance again and select the "Local Service Name configuration". Add one. Choose the name of the database for the service name. It was MDM.<MYHOSTNAME>.<MYDOMAIN> for me.
Ensure that you use name of the database that you've entered during the database creation.
Everything else should go as suggested by default.
Once you are at the Test stage of the wizard and get the "invalid login/password" message, clisk "Change login" and use SYSTEM user and the password you\ve entered during databae creation.
After the test passes, you can connect to your Oracle database through the MDM Console.
Please, let me know if you have any questions, I'll help.
Thanks!

Hang up when creating the oracle model

When I try to migrate an Access97 db to Oracle using the Migration Workbench, after capturing the source database fine, I run the "create oracle model from source model" and it functions well until it reaches the final foreign key where it will just hang!

This is a known problem. It appears that you may be trying to map a non supported relationship. The OMWB does not support relationships based on queries, only queries based on tables are supported. To get around you hanging problem remove the non supported query and regenerate the xml file. Now try a capture and mapping phase. Hope this helps you get around your problem.

Patching 10gr2 RAC, Oracle inventory on a CFS

I have 4-node HP-UX VCS5 Oracle10g RAC setup running in production environment. First time i am trying to apply latest patch bundle. I am trying to apply 10.2.0.4 patch set.
I am getting the bellow error when i am applying the patch.
"Central Invventory can't be shared, this is not supported"
The ORACLE_BASE is on a cluster file system.
To ignore this error and to proceed with patch installation, what steps we need to take ?
Thank you.

Hi,
Looks like you have run into an always documented restriction which has now been enforced with the OUI in the 10.2.0.4 patchset.
The documentation which mentioned that Shared Central Inventories are not recommended / supported is available at :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b16227/oui6_cluster_environment.htm#BABGJAAF
<Quote>
The Oracle Inventory directory (oraInventory) stores an inventory of all software installed on the system. It is required by, and shared by, all Oracle software installations on a single system. The first time you install Oracle software on a system, Oracle Universal Installer prompts you to specify the path to this directory. If you are installing the software on a local file system, then Oracle recommends that you choose the following path:
oracle_base/oraInventory
If the Oracle base directory is on a cluster file system, or on an NFS file system on a NAS device, then you must specify a path for the Oracle Inventory directory on a local file system. The Oracle base directory must be on a local file system to enable all of the nodes to have separate inventories.
Oracle Universal Installer creates the directory that you specify, and sets the correct owner, group, and permissions for it. You do not need to create it.
<un-quote>
What has changed with the 10.2.0.4 Installer is that Oracle now enforces this restriction. What I believe is that without this being enforced , there was a possibility of running into Central Inventory corruption issues when Clustered and Non-Clustered installs were being done on the same node.
I also found this discussion on one of the Metalink threads which might be useful.
Please contact Oracle Support prior to attempting these steps though.
Quoting Oracle:
It is not supported to have central inventory on a shared location. There was a bug.5009954 "OUI SHOULD ENFORCE SEPARATE CENTRAL INVENTORY LOCATIONS IN RAC" filled on this issue. This bug is fixed in 11.2. It is actually an OUI issue which doesn't perform a check to make sure that central inventory location is not on shared device.
In order to fix the inventory, you can change the OH/oraInst.loc in the CRS home to point to a non-shared directory.
Run <crs>/oui/bin/attachhome.sh -silent -local -cfs CRS=true -invPtrLoc <crs>/oraInst.loc on each of the nodes. Finally copy the oraInst.loc to the /etc/oraInst.loc.

The oracle user profile......

Hi, All.
I would like install oracle 10g on the Solaris 9. but I was create the /oracle file system during install Solaris system. can I set the groups and user by following??
1. login as root
2. # groupadd oinstall
3. # groupadd dba
4. # useradd -g oinstall -G dba -s /usr/bin/bash oracle
5. # chown oracle /oracle
6. # chgrp oinstall /oracle
7. # usermod -m -d /oracle oracle
but I can't find the user profile at oracle's home directory ( /oracle ), what should I do? thanks a lot!!!

don't worry about the OS user home directory location.
just use the OS default location and then make sure where and
which is the user profile you need to edit for ORACLE_HOME,
ORACLE_BASE, PATH,etc. (user profile location refer your OS administrator guide) when you done, you can get correct return when you enter
echo $ORACLE_HOME and echo $PATH.
then you can use sqlplus to connect DATABASE..

Problem with blob column index created using Oracle Text.

Hi,
I'm running Oracle Database 10g 10.2.0.1.0 standard edition one, on windows server 2003 R2 x64.
I have a table with a blob column which contains pdf document.
Then, I create an index using the following script so that I can do fulltext search using Oracle Text.
CREATE INDEX DMCS.T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX ON DMCS.T_DMCS_FILE
(DF_FILE)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS('DATASTORE CTXSYS.DEFAULT_DATASTORE');
However, the index is not searchable and I check the following tables created by database for my index and found them to be empty as well !!
DR$T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX$I
DR$T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX$K
DR$T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX$N
DR$T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX$R
I wonder what's wrong with it.
My user has been granted the ctx_app role and I have other tables that store plain text which I use Oracle Text are fine. I even output the blob column and save as pdf file and they are fine.
However the database seems like not indexing my blob column although the index can be created without error.
Please advise.
Really appreciate anyone who can help.
Thank you.

The situation is I have already loaded a few pdf document into the table's blob column.
After I create the Oracle text index on this blob column, I find the system generated index tables listed in my earlier posting are empty, except for the 4th table.
Normally we'll see words inside the table where those are the words indexed by oracle text on my document.
As a result, no matter how i search for the index using select statement with contains operator, it will not give me any result.
I feel weird why the blob is not indexed. The content of the blob are actually valid because I tested this by export the content back to pdf and I can still view and search within the pdf.
Regards,
Jap.

Automating the installation process,creating the database, creating tables etc at the

Hi,
We have a requirement to install oracle 8.1.6 on solaris box. The whole installtion process should be automated. This process includes changing the kernel parameters, creating the oracle account as per the installation guide, configuring the logical volumes, creating the database as per OFA recommendations, creating tables etc. How can i do this with out any interaction from user. Can the Oracle software packager handle all these. Please Let me know ASAP.
Thanks a bunch.

Agata,
The full retail should be white with a snow leopard on it but if you ordered from the on-line store you should be fine. If it is having problems booting while holding the C key, try restarting the computer but this time hold the Option key.
That will bring up a grey screen with the image of the Macintosh HD and an image of the CD. Click the image of the CD and let it boot that way.
Once booted, go through the install proceedure, choose language, etc. Still using the same CD but let's see if for some reason it does not like the way it is being told to boot.
