What is the official procedure to install a 10g-Client on SLES10

Hi,
we are having a server running SuSE SLES10 and we need to have it access a 10g database.
We had a look at the certification-matrix and found that the combination
SLES10/10g-Client is supported by Oracle.
We know this now, but the installer obviously does not:
snip
# /home/oraclient/client/runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4,
UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2
Failed <<<<
Exiting Oracle Universal Installer, log for this session can be found at
snip
Although I found a way to circumvent the problem (I edited /etc/SuSE-release before installation, changed it back after inst.) - I am eager to know whether anyone
can point me out any "official" Oracle-Page describing how to install.
The installation guide does not help. I searched the forum and found you can
start the installer with -nosysprereqs.
But where can I find official information how to install? The problem is that I have to document everything I do, and this documentation is monitored closely, so I do not want to use any tricks that are NOT explained in a whitepaper or something similar. I
have to show that what I did is supported.
Any help welcome
Arno

You are right, installation guides (and corresponding check routines) are sometimes not up-to-date. Always check Release Notes for newer (and official) statements:

Forms 10g App. is slow: What is the official procedure to follow?

Hello Forms gurus. This question has been bugging me for some time. Here is the scenario.
We have a Telco application developed using Forms 10g.
A user complains that his form is slow.
We have access to the live DB (assume it is a 10g DB).
However, we cannot run the form in the live DB. We have no access to it. We only have access to the live DB.
What is the "procedure" to follow in a situation like this???
Is there an Oracle Recommended procedure to follow?
You inputs will be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure the database is the cause of your performance problems? Can you identify slow queries? The first thing you should investigate is *where* your problem relies. Ask your DBAs if they can tell you the bad performing queries or help you analyze if there are any. If the database behaves well then most certainly it isn't the culprit of your performance problem. Of course there are some other no-gos which might affect application performance (like slow-by-slow processing, or serializing, or what ever else). So you need to identify where the time is spent first.
So, according to the them, if a form is "slow", 99.99% it is caused by a slow query. So, they expect us developers to know tuning stuff.
Erm...and who else should know it? Developers design the application, developers know how it should work, and therefore are the ones who should know how to tune it. And I'm not talking about looking into why the Hard disk responds slow kind of stuff but simple identifying sub-optimal code, or SQL tuning by looking at the execution plans, interpreting them and solving them by...oh, I don't know, rewriting the query, minimizing recursive SQL, and what ever else. DBAs on the other hand know next to nothing about your application. How should they know if a query plan is bad or not (except the query responds slow)? How should they know how to rewrite your query properly if they don't know what it's supposed to do? Don't write a query whatever way you like and expect them to understand it and tune it which might even imply changes on your underlying data model.
There are 2 scenarios:
(1.) We got e-mail from user saying form is slow. But he is not using the form now.
-- Is there a way to find out slow queries that happened say few days ago? Are they stored somewhere?
(2.) User is currently logged on to the system and using the form.
-- Can you find out an slow query happening right now??
1.) This would be AWR. As they have the final saying about the database then ask them to provide you a AWR report of a Time period where you had performance problems. If you don't have AWR then it'll be somehow difficult to analyze performance problems of the past. But on the other hand I wouldn't worry too much if you can constantly reproduce your problems as this would take us straight foreward to:
2.) That would be SQL Trace. Simply trace the session experiencing performance problems, and run tkprof on the tracefile. If you don't know how to do that and don't know how to interpret a query plan then you might ask your DBAs if they can assist you. If they insist that you must know that on your own maybe ask them to teach you. It is one thing to ask someone to do your job, but an entirely other thing to ask someone for help to do your job better and share some knowledge.
In the end it'll be easier to work *with* your DBAs to identify and solve performance problems and not working *against* them. You have knowledge about your application, about what data is stored where and why but might lack some basic knowledge about SQL Tuning. Your DBA on the other hand has no knowledge about your application but might have a better understanding of basic SQL tuning. IMHO the both of you would make a good couple to solve SQL performance problems as your knowledge combined should make it easy to resolve your problem.
cheers

What is the correct procedure to install a TCS application not included in the initial installation?

I can go through the installation procedure to the point when I've switched to the 2nd DVD. Setup resumes and a few seconds later states that no application was installed.
I'm adding Captivate to my initial installation of FM9, Acrobat9 and Photoshop. I'm not uninstalling them first. Should I? Why?
The initial installation was a year ago. The OS is Windows 7.
TIA
Douglas

So you already have TCS2 but didn't install the full suite the first time around? So now you just want to add Captivate? I believe in that case you just select it off the list. The installer skips all the ones that you haven't selected and only does the one you have. I think Captivate is on the 2nd DVD (at least it was on the TCS2.5 upgrade one I got), so you may have to start with that one first.
Yes, I just want to add Captivate. I've been successfully doing the canonical installation (DVD1 > setup (autoplay wouldn't work due according to the error message to a Unicode error in the lang.dat file) up to the switch to DVD2.
As far as starting from DVD2 is concerned, there's no setup file on it to launch. So that route is out.
Another option (because some have reported issues with installing from DVD) is to copy the contents of both DVDs to a temp folder on your hard drive and start the install from there.
Copying DVD2 to the HD might be a solution. Unless data is somehow corrupted on DVD2, but in that case, why did the original installation succeed?
Thanks again for your prompt answers.
Best regards,
Douglas

How to install owa in iphone 4s? what are the detailed procedures to proceed?

How to install owa in iphone 4s? what are the detailed procedures to proceed? Can you help on this? Thanks

You don't need to install OWA on your iPhone. It needs to be enabled by your email provider - presumably your employer? They should also be able to provide you with detailed instructions on how to access your email remotely using your iPhone.

What is the best procedure to update from Leopard (or Snow Leopard) to Mavericks?

The pacient:
Macbook Pro A1278
Running 10.5.8 -- but have an Update DVD to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Got slower in start-up
Very slow in power-off (takes lot of time on shut-down!)
What is the BEST procedure to update it from Leopard to Mavericks?
A) update & clean
Backup to Time Machine (in Leopard)
Update from 10.5.8 to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Update 10.6 to 10.6.8
Donwnload and Update to Maverics
Do any kind of clean to increase speed in start-up / shut-down - Any suggestions?
or
B) fresh install & update & recover Time Machine
Backup to Time Machine
Reinstall a fresh 10.5.8 (Leopard) - should increase speed in start-up / shut-down ??
Update from 10.5.8 to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Update 10.6 to 10.6.8
Donwnload and Update to Maverics
Recover users data & config from Time Machine
I am thrilled to heard your advices!!
PS. Aditional suggestions to make a faster boot / power-down , before or after updating are very welcome ;!)

Go to  Menu > About this Mac > and tell us Version, Processor & Memory specs on your Mac. Also available hard disk space, by choosing your Macintosh HD and "Get Info" (cmd-i)
If you're having issues now with slow sratup and shutdown, it's probably a third party item. If it is, then it may limited to your user account. If that's the case and you do a clean install, then migrate you will wind up migrating it right back.
The first thing to check would be to boot into your Guest account and test, or try starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items.
Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours. Then log out and back in or restart and test.
If the problem is sorted, be sure to make a new backup before proceeding. Since the problem is sorted and you have a backup without the offending items, then there's no reason not to use the simple upgrade method you outlined in A. With the exception of "cleaning". The only cleaning your Mac should need is with a soft cloth. Stay away from so-called cleaning/optomizing utilities.

What is the correct procedure for upgrading to aperture 3.4

I am working in South Sudan and am shortly going to be in a place where I can download all the updates. The last time I did an update was around 2 weeks ago.
I presume that there will be updates for Mountain Lion, iPhoto and Aperture, plus a whole pile of iOS updates. From the support questions I see that there is a number of people having problems.
I presume that the first thing to do will be to rebuild the library of aperture.
What is the correct procedure after that?

If I do an upgrade through AppStore, and find it does not work, do I uninstall first by removing to trash? What do you mean by revert to an earlier version, and which previous version of Aperture should I use.
Neville,
So you did buy Aperture from the AppStore?
Then move the Aperture application to the Trash, but do not empty it, just in case
Sign into the AppStore and reinstall. In this case you do not need to revert to an earlier version. If the AppStore installer does not find an Aperture in your Applications folder, it will have to make a full install, and no incompatible frameworks should remain, as is the problem with the partial upgrades right now.
Yes, I have a bootable clone,
And have you checked, if you really can boot from your clone? Just being very cautious.
Do you use facebook? Some posters are having problems, even after reinstalling, if the want to publish to Facebook. Post back, if you encounter that problem.
Good Luck
Léonie

How many times can Windows 7 be syspreped, what is the official Answer?

Hey everyone, can somebody out there give me the straight answer on this? What is the official number windows 7 can be syspreped? I am looking to build my reference images, but every time I do this I have to 150+ updates each time. Can
I get way with just updating the reference image every time? I have heard there is a Max number of times you can do this before you have to rebuild.
We are running WIndows 7 Enterprise with KMS.
Also will this apply to 8.1?
Thanks

Hi,
Sysprep limitations are due to the windows activation process.
There is no limit to the number of times that the Sysprep command can run on a computer. However, the clock for Windows Product Activation begins its countdown the first time Windows starts. You can use the sysprep /generalize command to reset Windows Product
Activation a maximum of three times. After the third time that you run the sysprep /generalize command, the clock can no longer be reset.
Assuming you are using a KMS: We recommend that KMS clients use the sysprep /generalize command where the value of the SkipRearm setting is equal to 1. After capturing this image, use the sysprep /generalize command, where the value of the SkipRearm setting
is equal to 0.

What is the 0x80070570 error when installing Win7 or Win8 or Win 8.1 on a clean SSD/HDD ?!

Hello,
My computer was working perfectly with Win7 for about 2years until I formatted on monday to clean a little bit my drives ... Since then I'm unable to install windows again. I have the 0x80070570 error.
The complete error message is:
Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure that all files required for installation are available and restart the installation. Error code:0x80070570.
What is the 0x80070570 error when installing Win7 or Win8 or Win 8.1 on a clean SSD/HDD ?! These versions are full from MSDN.
What I did already:
check my RAM (16go gskill)
remove unnecessary hard drives
replace my "old" SSD with a clean new one
remove my sound cards
remove the mouse and use only keyboard
reset the BIOS
check every LED on the motherboard (asus sabertooth z77) and there is no problem
What are the problems?
Thanks,
Adrien.

Hi,
If all images cannot be installed, we have a reason to suspect the hardware cause.
If you use two memory slots to get 16G RAM, I suggest you test with just one (8G) to check the result.

HT1364 I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive. What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive. What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

If the entire library is on the external drive then simply copy the iTunes folder into <User's Music> on the new computer, then install iTunes. If you've already installed iTunes you will want to remove the empty iTunes folder in <User's Music> first.
If it turns out you only have the media folder on the external drive then take a look at this post...

What's the better order to install OEM + AS + DB

Hi everbody.
What's the better order to install on RHEL4 Update2:
- Enterprise Manager Control Grid (10gR2)
- Database (10gR2)
- Application Server (10gR3)
And about the $ORACLE_HOME?? How to? Each instalation have a separate $ORACLE_HOME??
Tks!

Rafael,
Save the Grid Control as the last installation. The order of Database and Application Server doesn't matter, however I would personally install the database first.
Please read all Installation Guides' before starting any installations, and follow all pre-requisites stated for RHEL4.
The Installation Guide's states that all products must be installed in separate ORACLE_HOME. As a matter of fact, the Oracle Installer doesn't allow installing any of these products into an existing ORACLE_HOME.
Regards,
Martin

What is the proper procedure to backup to multiple external hard drives if one wishes to rotate drives such that you may store one in a fire safe?

Description: If I want to back up to two external hard drives using Time Machine, what is the proper procedure to follow such that I could keep one attached to Time Machine for daily backups, and one that I attach monthly such that I can back it up monthly, and then store it in a fire safe. To do this, what are the exact steps to follow?
Research in Progress:
I selected the "?" icon in Time Machine which took me to "Mac Help - Time Machine Preferences" section. I reviewed this section, including the "Select Backup Disk, Select Disk, Add or Remove Backup Disk." It says, "If you haven’t set up Time Machine, click Select Backup Disk to set up a backup disk. Repeat the steps for each backup disk you want to set up." I did add two backup disks. It goes on to say "If you already set up Time Machine, your backup disks are listed, and information about each backup disk is shown. To select, add, or remove backup disks, click Select Disk or Add or Remove Backup Disk." Well, what is lacking here is what happens when you "Remove" the backup disk.
As I have read this section, it raises additional questions:
What are some cautionary statements.
What happens after you remove a backup disk? Will Time Machine recognize it later?
What is the proper procedure for removing and ejecting one of your external hard drive when you use it with Time Machine? What happens if you don't "remove" a backup drive and instead just drag it to the "trash can, i.e. eject it" and later reconnect it.?

Time Machine supports multiple backup drives including network area storage volumes (NAS) as well as physically-connected external backup drives.
In , System Preferences, Time Machine, add the second drive by clicking Select Disk.
All available connected drives including connected network drives are displayed.
Select the additional drives, one at a time.
Connected Network drives are displayed on the desktop only when actively being used by Time Machine for backup.
When prompted, select 'use both' when adding the second drive.
Then choose Select or Remove at the bottom of the list of available devices and network volumes to add additional drives.
Time Machine then automatically rotates backups among the available designated devices and volumes.
If the drive is physically not present, Time Machine skips to the next available backup drive.
To DISMOUNT a drive to take it off-site, it is NOT necessary to remove it from the Time Machine preferences.
When the drive is NOT in use, dismount it by Command+clicking that Drive icon on your desktop (or in Finder) and then "Eject".
That's it.
After 10 days with no backups to a given device, Time Machine does display a message and (as I recall) asks if you want to remove that drive from the rotation.
You can never be too rich or have too many backups!

What is the correct procedure to connect and collect events from IPS through SDEE

What is the correct procedure to connect and collect events from IPS through SDEE?
We are a 3rd party application, that needs to collect and analyze the IPS events for a client.
Currently the approach we are following is
1) get a SubscriptionId using the URL below
https://IP_Of_IPS/cgi-bin/sdee-server?action=open&events=evIdsAlert&force=yes
This gets us a subscriptionId which is used in step 2
2) Collect events from the url below
https://IP_Of_IPS/cgi-bin/sdee-server?confirm=yes&action=get&subscriptionId=sub-sample&startTime=1362699903575432000
a few more notes here are
- starttime is current time in nanoseconds
the peculiar problem here is that, even though we specify todays date, SDEE returns us the events from mid Feb (today is march 7)
we did try a few combinations, but are out of ideas.
any help or direction would be appreciated

This is more an application issue than an IPS issue.

What are the correct steps for installing Oracle Entitlement Server SSM?

Can somebody explain what are the correct steps to install OES SSM 10.1.4.3? I have installed OES admin 10.1.4.3 and applied the CP2 patch. it is allowing me to open Entitlement Administration, where I can define the policy.
Is it sufficient to have this Entitlement Admin to call the policy from BPM? Do I need a SSM ?
When I try to configure Java SSM using ConfigTool.bat -process myssm_config.properties I am getting the following error

The correct procedure to install PeopleTools 8.49

Dear Friends,
Hello. I am still not sure the correct procedure to install PeopleTools 8.49. I have done the following:
Step 1: Install Windows Server 2003
Step 2: Install MS SQL Server 2005
Step 3: Install BEA WebLogic 8.1
Step 4: Download 7 disks of PeopleTools 8.49 from Oracle e-delivery site
Step 5: Install PeopleTools 8.49 using setup.exe located in Disk 1.
Step 6: Setup PeopleSoft Database using C:\PeopleTools8.49\setup\PsMpDbInstall\setup.exe
Step 7: Install Tuxedo using C:\PeopleTools8.49\appserv\pstuxinstall.exe
Step 8: Install application server using C:\PeopleTools8.49\appserv\psadmin.exe
Step 9: Install PIA using C:\PeopleTools8.49\setup\PsMpPIAInstall\setup.exe
From Step 1 to Step 6, my system works correctly. But from Step 7 to Step 9, my system is not working correctly. Is the above procedure correct to install PeopleTools 8.49 in Windows Server 2003 ? Thanks.
Lucy

Nicolas,
Thanks a lot for replying to me. I have 3 questions as follows:
First, How many PeopleTools can be installed using 7 disks ?
As I indicated in previous discussed, I have done:
Step 4: Download 7 disks of PeopleTools 8.49 from Oracle e-delivery site and extract them.
Step 5: Install PeopleTools 8.49 using setup.exe located in Disk 1.
Step 6: Setup PeopleSoft Database using C:\PeopleTools8.49\setup\PsMpDbInstall\setup.exe
In step 5, setup.exe in Disk 1 load all of files in 7 Disks into C:\PeopleTools8.49\ and PsMpDbInstall install PeopleSoft Database successfully. I can log into Application Designer and develop my first application successfully in 2-tier mode.
Second, As you said in previous discussion, "Tuxedo is apart from PeopleSoft..." , do you mean I don't need to do Step 7: Install Tuxedo using C:\PeopleTools8.49\appserv\pstuxinstall.exe
Third, I don't understand how to install the rest of PeopleTools using the files in 7 Disks. Are they application Server and PIA ? Thus, we do:
Step 8: Install application server using C:\PeopleTools8.49\appserv\psadmin.exe
Step 9: Install PIA using C:\PeopleTools8.49\setup\PsMpPIAInstall\setup.exe
