Will OWM 10g be installable into a 9i database?

This was possible with previous releases of OWM (to a certain extent). Am wondering if it will also be true for 10g.
Thanks.
Matt.

I just looked at the README.html file from the 10.1.0.3 patchset download for 64-bit SPARC/Solaris. It just says:
You can apply the Oracle Database 10g release 10.1.0.3 patch set to the following Oracle Database 10g release 1 (10.1.0.2) installations:
Nothing about pre-10g versions of the database at all, in fact, this README.html file does not even contain the work "backward". It is dated "August 2004". Is the backwards compatability architecture dependent?

OID installation into 10.2 Database

Hello, everybody.
1. Can I install OID into existing 10.2 Database on Linux x86_64 (SLES 10 SP1)
2. ... and if this 10.2 Database used by Oracle EM Grid Control 10.2.0.4?
3. How can I move my existing "standart" installation (OID = AS + 10.1.0.5 Database for AS Repository) into other server/Database?
Thanks

1) Yes - you can install the OID into a 10.2 database.
2) This is possible as well, as the OID has its own schemas. BTW - I'm working with such an installation right now.
3) Yes, but you will need to create a metadata repository in this new database. Just moving the OID could work, although I never tried that.

Please help me with this problem.
Thank you

It is because of UNIX shell. I also faced this error during installation.
First check your shell by the following command.
$ echo $SHELL
Then select the below.
For csh shell
$ setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
For sh,ksh and bash
$ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
After you do this check the value of DISPLAY variable.
$ echo $DISPLAY
If the DISPLAY variable is set then run ./runInstaller.
One advice: Keep a complete log of your terminal session. This will help you in future :)

Regarding Hangcheck timer configuration in Oracle RAC 10g r2 installation

Hi,
Is it necessary to configure hangcheck timer in Oracle RAC 10g R2 installation .
Can somebody guide when we should install the hangcheck timer in Linux oracle 10g R2.
Best Regards
Gupteswar Prasad Mishra
Edited by: Gupteswar on Jan 25, 2010 8:42 PM

yes, its recommended to configure hangcheck timer in RAC configuration
Configure the Hangcheck Timer
The hang-check timer is loaded into the Linux kernel and checks if the system hangs. It will set a timer and check the timer after a certain amount of time. There is a configurable threshold to hang-check that, if exceeded will reboot the machine. Although the hangcheck-timer module is not required for Oracle Clusterware (Cluster Manager) operation, it is highly recommended by Oracle.
cat /etc/rc.local
modprobe hangcheck-timer hangcheck_tick=1 hangcheck_margin=10 hangcheck_reboot=1

Oracle 10g R2 installation with ASM+RAC

Gurus,
Need some suggestuon on Oracle 10g R2 installation with ASM and RAC option.
We have found many documents on the Oracle, HP, HP-Oracle CTC and third party web sites, but nothing that is specific to this particular combination of separate
ORACLE_HOMEs, ASM and 10g RAC CRS. It is unclear for me from the documentation how this combination of ASM and 10.2g RAC may best be installed.
The high level steps i got after reading lot of docs as follows - but i am not sure whether these are correct or not. if they are correct, can any one share their experience/notes please?
1) Install CRS
2) Install RDBMS for ASM HOME - create separater oracle home for ASM instance using OUI
3) Install RDBMS for RAC Database Home - create separater oracle home for RAC database using OUI
4) Create ASM database using DBCA -
5) Use dbca to create database.

Oracle provides 'paint by numbers' tutorials called 'Oracle By Example'. (Go to OTN, check under the Training tab)
They have one for a Windows based ASM/RAC that you might want to review. Not your specific environment, but the steps will be dag-nabbed close.
I recommend walking the path (http://otn.oracle.com >> training:OBE >> Database 10g Release 1:VMWare:Installation
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gdb_vmware/install/racinstallwin2k/racinstallwin2k.htm

Cannot copy/paste files from clone of Snow Leopard installation into clean Lion installation.

I cloned my hard drive onto an external USB drive using disk utility and then erased the internal drive to install Lion onto. 70% of anything I copied from the clone of my 10.6 installation into its new home in Lion just disappeared as soon as I copied it. For example, I copied my old documents folder into its corresponding place in Lion, and the size reduced from ~3.5GB to ~1GB. Does anyone know why this is?
For obvious reasons, I restored my clone to my internal hard drive using disk utility so I could use 10.6 again, so I can't reasonably do any real troubleshooting until I find time to commit to experimentation. Is this a known bug that will be worked out in 10.7.1?

Getting ssh error while starting 10g cluster installation

Hi frnds
I am getting the following error while running 10g clusterware installation.Actually i done the ssh setup mentioned in the oracle doc.Generated both keys (rsa,dsa) on both nodes and copied these 2 files from both nodes to authorized_key file and copy this file to both nodes and ran $shell and ssh-add.Whenever i logs and run this SSH User Equivalency on node1(from where i run oui) and its persisting with other sessions but if logoff and logon i have to run the $shell and ssh-add to enable it.My dought is whether this ssh have to enable always or only while using OUI to install and applying patches cos this Equivalency dont need to run on second node correct ?

Hi
thnks for that but when i run that exec $SHELL and ssh-add again in one session i can do ssh it other sessions without any problem but if i logoff and login it will reset to back.Whether this ssh have to enabled on first node(where i run OUI) always irrespective of logons and logout or whether i have to start any services ?

Problem with 10G R2 installation (OUI - 10133 Invalid Staging Area) on W2K3

I'm getting a strange error installing 10G R2 Database on a Windows 2003 server. I get "OUI - 10133 Invalid Staging Area. There are no top level components for Windows NT, Windows 2000 available for installation in this staging area." This happens when I choose an Advanced installation or when I choose a starter database.
The funny thing is that I've performed this installation with this exact installation disk on a virtual server on my laptop with Windows 2003.
Also, I ran a quick test with the 10G R1 installation files and I don't get the error. I want to run tests on case insensitivity with LIKE searches (a new feature enabled in 10G R2) so I can't use 10G R1.

I have seen that problem frequently and it is because for some reason the installer doesn't like burned CD's. Copy all the staging files over to disk. I usually download the zip files onto a staging drive on the server, unzip, install, then delete the install files when I'm done if I need the space.
This has two major benefits: I don't run into the "staging area" error and the install only takes about 30 minutes compared to about 3 hours when installing from CD.

Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

How can I embed the Quicktime installer into a projector

Hi
I'm in the proccess of completing a large multimedia project in Director that has a good deal of Quicktime content.
Many of the people who will be making use of the end result don't have quicktime on their computers.
I was hoping to find a way of embedding the quicktime installer into the application so that the proccess can be as idiot proof as possible.
I don't have a great deal of experience with embedding things in Director, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You can't (readily) "embed" an un-supported file type, like an executable, into a Director file. Instead, you ship the installer alongside your projector, or in some other known relative location, and then run it if you need to. Buddy API is a useful xtra in this situation because it will help you determine whether QT is installed, and which version, and also run the installer if/when required

Can I import a 10g MDL file into a 9.2 repository?

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening
I started with OWB10g and created a repository. After creating several modules I realized I had an Oracle 9.2 database in which to deploy the runtime stuff.
I was unable to install the server side (AIX 5.2) binaries since I didn't have a 10g Universal Installer.
I exported the 10g repository information to an MDL file.
I dropped the 10g repository and created a 9.2 repository and also installed the 9.2 runtime components. All is cool so far.
I then wanted to import the MDL file from the 10g repository into the 9.2 repository and its then I hit the snag.
Is it possible to import a 10g MDL file into a 9.2 repository?
I was hoping the format was a standaard CWM type that would be recognized by either version but it looks like I'm incorrect.
Any other suggestions on how to get the 10g repository information into the 9.2 repository?
I still have the 10g repository on another server so I am able to do other types (?) of exports or whatever.
Many thanks for the help.
Gary

Gary,
I am puzzled by the reason "I was unable to install the server side (AIX 5.2) binaries since I didn't have a 10g Universal Installer." OWB 10g comes with its own copy of 10g Universal Installer. I am not claiming to ever install on AIX myself, but can you list the errors you get, perhaps we can troubleshoot the underlying problem, rather than working around it.
Not to dodge your question on exporting 10g MDL to 9.2. Even though this is an unsupported and untested scenario, because OWB 10g did not introduce any new objects, you can try editing the MDL as below. I don't see any risk in trying. Find the MDLRELEASE and RELEASE statements at the top (not the comments with #, they don't matter and change values back to 9.2, as in:
MDLRELEASE=9.2
RELEASE=9.2.0.2.0
And becuase OWB 9.2 does not know what Database 10g is, if you have any Database locations in your MDL that are set to 10g, change them to 9.2 as in:
[...]Oracle Database|9.2|[...]

10g Portal Installation

Hello,
We are planning to install 10g portal . we would like to know . Is there any advantage if we install portal in existing database (we have 9.0.2 RAC database). or install the portal in the infrastructre database ??..
what we are looking for is any advantage in the above two options?..
Thanks
james.

Hi James,
as long as the patching /upgrade process is successful (which it ought to be) there will be no need to re-install the database.
As for advantages of installing in a separate database as opposed to the database which gets created by the infrastructure install they are pretty simple.
Having the metadata repository installed in a separate database will enable a more distributed environment from the start, i.e. you can have the metadata repository installed with REPCA database on one machine and the Infrastructure home running in another machine. If this is something you are looking to leverage you ought to install the metadata repository (which contains portal) into the separate database prior to running the infra install.
cheers
Nick

My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio. When I take it out, it goes blank. Why can I do?

My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio. When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank. The battery shows fully charged. It appears that the battery is no longer charging. What should I do?

Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
