Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition, Oracle process needs 5 Gb memory

Hi
Actually i'm under Windows 2003 server Standard Edition and Oracle Standard 9.2.0.6.
I need to have for my oracle process (User Process) a large amount of memory. (>= 5 Gb) probably 3 Gb for the PGA and 2 Gb for the SGA. (roughly).
I'm looking on AWE 4GT etc... Microsoft is'nt clear about this.
People with a similar experiment? Is it necessary to migrate under Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edittion ?
All informations and experiences are welcome.
Regards
Den

Before considering ways to overcome process addressing limits (32-bit process virtual address space), Windows Server Std Ed can use/see maximum 4 GB RAM. You cant fit 5GB Oracle Server memory + other stuff + OS in that. I guess your only options are EE 32-bit or Std Ed x64, if you have the hardware.
But, staying on the 32-bit path, it will be hard to achieve confilicting objects of large memory areas. Remember that process virtual space is 4GB regardless of how much RAM the hardware (and OS) can manage.

Windows 2003 server standard edition on X4100

Trying to get it to instill windows 2003, everything goes fine with updating software, identifying windows 2003 server and selecting the 32-bit version, until the identifying distribution page, where it stalls / does nothing when I click next. So I'm kinda stuck at a dead end, any suggestions anyone ?

Enable oracle 10g on windows 2003 R2 X64 edition to address 8 Gb memory

We are using Oracle 10g R2 on Windows 2003 R2 x64 Standart edition. Lately we upgraded the system memory from 4 Gb to 8 Gb. Windows sees the memory as is (8 Gb) But oracle can not see the RAM as 8 gb. How can we ovecome this problem.
Best Regards,
Murat CAKIR

What you can effectively do is since your are using 10gR2, you can use the spfile. Increase the SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET (if you want to give the control to the Oracle itself) in the spfile and bounce the database.
alter system set SGA_MAX_SIZE = 6G scope=spfile;
alter system set SGA_TARGET = 6G scope=spfile;
shutdown immediate;
startup;
show parameter sga;6G could be changed according to what sort of applications that allocates the operating system RAM, you have already got on your operating system.
Hope That Helps.

Installing Windows 2003 Server Standard/XP is very slow- how long does it take?

Hello, I'm looking for some ideas here... I tried installing Windows 2003 on my newly build computer, but after 3 hours it still wasn't installed, and seemed to just be really really slow, and not frozen. I ended up giving up and tried putting windows xp on it, but after an hour it still didn't finish installing. I figure there really has to be something wrong here... The only thing out of the ordinary is that I'm using 4GB ram DDR2 667. How long does it take to install windows xp on your system?!?
Things that I've tried have been:
disabled hypterthreading
loaded optimized settings
changed sata to mode II
MSI 945G Neo-F Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 945G ATX Intel Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3160812AS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
Intel Pentium 4 650 Prescott 800MHz FSB LGA 775 EM64T
pqi TURBO $GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) Unbuffered Dual
POwer: Ultra Xfinity 500Watt ATX +5v +3.3v +12v1 +12v2 -12v +5vsb
BIOS 1.2
Optial Drive: Generic Toshiba DVD

1&3 and 2&4 seem to be working okay, I've tested all these combinations (this is just plugging in the memory and looking at the cpu in task manager)
mem1 in slot 1 okay (tested slot 1 okay)
mem1 in slot 1
mem2 in slot 3 okay (test 2gigs in duel channel first set of memory okay)
mem3 in slot 1
mem4 in slot 3 okay (tested 2 gig in duel channel second set of memory)
mem1 in slot 2 okay (tested slot 2 okay)
mem1 in slot 2
mem2 in slot 4 okay (tested the second duel channel okay)
mem1 in slot 1
mem2 in slot 3
mem3 in slot 2
mem4 in slot 4 high cpu
mem3 in slot 1
mem1 in slot 2
mem4 in slot 3
mem2 in slot 4 high cpu
I upgraded to the latest bios, no luck... I haven't run any extensive memory tests, but through the tests i did, it seems that the memory is okay. Given these tests do you think it is more likely a problem with the motherboard running 4 slots? Or maybe some power issue, where the 4 sticks of memory are not getting enough power to work right.
The power supply I am using is Xfinity 500W
+5V/30A +3.3/30A +12V1/16A +12V2/18A -12V/0.6A +5VSB/2.5A

Unable to setup ACS UCP ver4.1 in Windows 2003 Server Standard

Please refer to the attachment "error.JPG". When i launch the setup.exe, it show me the error message. Seem like the setup file is created for 16bit OS. Anyone can help?

Ensure that the web server uses Microsoft IIS 6.0 (included with Windows Server 2003).This error states that the setup.exe file is missing and so i think that the error is in installing the UCM.so reinstall the UCM by following the procedures provided in the installation guide.

Installin Oracle 10g rel 2 on windows 2003 server

Hi
I am trying to install oracle10g on windows 2003 server standard edition SP1. When i run the OUI i get the following error.
OUI-10133:Invalid staging area. There are no top
level components for Windows Nt or Windows 2000 area. And i am not able to install.
Can somebody help in this.
Thanks

This is a problem with the media.
I suggest copying all the files to a local hard disk and running the installer from there. I don't have good luck installing from CD with Oracle's databases - not sure why. I never have a problem (and it's WAY faster) installing from disk. You can erase the 800 MB of files after the install if you need the space.

How do I rename an XE database on a Windows 2003 Server?

Ok. I'm attempting to rename a freshly installed XE database on a Windows 2003 Server. It looks like there is no getting around the fact that the database gets named "XE" during installation. Because there could potentially be multiple installations of XE in my organization, I thought it'd be a good idea to disambiguate the installations by renaming them to match their function. In this particular case, I'd like to rename the database to "CTXMGMT". It will be a data repository for our Citrix farm administration programs.
Here is what I've performed thus far:
1. Installed Oracle 10g XE on one of our Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition machines.
2. Verified that the installation was performed correctly by making sure the 'Database Home Page' loads correctly through Internet Explorer, and by performing a few Select statements on the database (i.e. select name from v$database;)
* * I then began following instructions from this document (http://www.utexas.edu/its/unix/reference/oracledocs/v92/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch14.htm#1004735) to rename the database. Note: I'm only trying to change the name of the database, not the ID.
3. Shutdown the database
4. Opened the database in MOUNT mode
5. Ran the NID utility. Here's the actual input/output to/from the NID utility:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>nid target=sys/manager@xe DBNAME=CTXMGMT SETNAME=YES
DBNEWID: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Jul 10 15:55:10 2006
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to database XE (DBID=2476560070)
Connected to server version 10.2.0
Control Files in database:
C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF
Change database name of database XE to CTXMGMT? (Y/[N]) => Y
Proceeding with operation
Changing database name from XE to CTXMGMT
Control File C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF - modified
Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\SYSTEM.DBF - wrote new name

Datafile C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP.DBF - wrote new name
Control File C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF - wrote new name
Instance shut down
Database name changed to CTXMGMT.
Modify parameter file and generate a new password file before restarting.
Succesfully changed database name.
DBNEWID - Completed succesfully.
6. After running the NID utility from a separate DOS Window, I attempt to shutdown the newly renamed database from the first DOS Window I used in steps 3 & 4 from above (i.e. to shutdown the database and then start it in MOUNT mode) but I receive this error:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
This is somewhat expected since the SQL*Plus connection in this window probably had "the bottom pulled out from under it" when the database was renamed.
However at this point I'm unsure about what state the database is in. Is it down? Is it up? Logic would sort of dictate that the database was left in the MOUNT state, which is the state it was in when the database name was changed. However, the only way I'm able to get back in to the database is by doing the following
a. Opened a new DOS window
b. entered "set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server"
c. entered "set ORACLE_SID=XE"
d. entered " sqlplus "/ as sysdba" "
e. at SQL> prompt, entered "startup"... which produces:
SQL> startup;
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 285212672 bytes

Database Buffers 188743680 bytes
Redo Buffers 2904064 bytes
ORA-01103: database name 'CTXMGMT' in control file is not 'XE'
SQL>
From here I don't know what to do. According to the ORA-01103 error message, it looks like I need to change the database name in the control file to "CTXMGMT", but I'm not sure how I should go about that. The control file is a binary file, so I can't just open it up with Notepad and type in a new database name.
I suspect that even once that is done that the listener.ora (and maybe the tnsnames.ora file?) will have to be edited to include the new "CTXMGMT" name, but I'm not sure how exactly those files should look to incorporate the new database name.
Also, would the names of services have to be changed in Windows as well? (i.e. Would the Windows service named "OracleServiceXE" have to be renamed to "OracleServiceCTXMGMT" ?)
In short, I really just need to know how to rename an XE database on Windows appropriately. The steps described above represent as far as I've gotten. If I'm going about it incorrectly could someone shed some light on the correct steps to follow? The more detailed the better. Thanks.
- Gary

Okay, I've....
1) Reinstalled XE, to start from scratch
2) Went in to SQL*Plus, did a "create pfile from spfile;"
3) Shutdown the database
4) Started it up in MOUNT mode
5) Ran NID, to change the database name from 'XE' to 'CTXMGMT'
6) Shutdown the database again
7) Edited the pfile to change the database name (i.e. "db_name='CTXMGMT'")
8) Started up the database
And that worked! So that's good... but now my question is:
How do I change the SID for the database? Currently, the instance name for the database is still 'XE'....
SQL> select instance_name
2 from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
xe
I'd like it so a connection could be made to the database with the tnsnames.ora file looking like this:
CTXMGMT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = rodin)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = CTXMGMT))
Could someone explain how to get the database to this state? Thanks.

Problem in installing Oracle 9i R2 on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise

We are having problem installing the Oracle 9i R2 Server on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition. During installation, it generates error saying "The IP Address of the machine not found". When clicking the "Continue" button, it tries to install other things but few minutes later it asks to stop complete installation or installation of that feature.
But when we installed it on Windows XP it works fine and we have no problem in configuring it. What's the problem with Windows 2003 Server?
If we drop the idea of installing it on Windows 2003 Server, can we make Windows XP maching as a Server?

ORACLE asumes that the first network device you have on your server has a fixed IP address.
Is this the case?
If not so you should install a loopback adapter as network device with a fixed IP.
Does this help?

Installing 9i on windows 2003 server

i am trying to install oracle 9i on windows 2003 server, but i got an error message, like the following...
"There are no patches that need to be applied from the patch set Oracle 9iR2 Patch set 9.2.0.3.0."
i can't find a version(9.2.0.3) for windows 2003 server(32bit) on oracle download section. I think that windows 2003 server doesn't support the Oracle 8i(8.1.7), either.
can someone help me install Oracle 8i or 9i on windows 2003 server?
Thanks...

I'm not sure there is a supported version for your O/S but if there is you will find it by going to the downloads page at http://otn.oracle.com.
If there isn't I'd recommend going with a currently supported version of the product rather than one whose full support has ended.

What do you recommend to resize a partition on Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2?

I am running Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2 and only have 2.74GB of hard drive space left on a 11.9 GB hard drive. My D:\ drive has 37.5GB of free space left on a 124GB Hard drive. I would like to know what software is
recommended to repartition drive size or another way to repartition drive.
Thanks

You just need to shrink partition D and get some unallocated space, and then you can extend the system drive with the Unallocated space. There is no need to delete or format partitions.
The most important is guarantee data security. I have such experience resizing partitions.
The partition tool required reboot to process, after a while power off in my office, I know the Server must be damaged. Later, when I turn it on, I cannot believe, it continue to process and reboot to desktop several minutes later. What a lucky man.

The old allowing oracle 3GB virtual memory on windows 2003 server question?

Hi all,
I have a 9.2.0.7.0 database on windows 2003 server (32bit). 4 dual core cpu's and 16GB of Ram.
I have set .use_indirect_data_buffers=TRUE and *._enable_NUMA_optimization=FALSE.
The db_block_buffers is set at 4GB.
Shared_pool 200MB
Large_pool 56MB
Java pool 56MB
PGA is currently at 400MB
AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY is set at 720MB (which is the lowest I can set it)
At the moment there are various jobs running on the database and no users logged on and the virtual memory is at 1.8GB.
The problem is as soon as the users logs onto the DB the virtual memory goes over 2GB and we see the error 'ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 2416 bytes'.
Now I have edited the boot.ini with the following parameters:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="UBS WSP - Wintel Server Platform with PAE" /fastdetect /PAE /4GT
because the /3GB parameter switch started the server with lots of errors.
The oracle.exe process still seems unable to go over the 2GB limit with getting 'ORA-04030' errors.
Can someone tell me if I have missed anything? Or a reason why oracle is not using the switch?
TIA
Eddy

Satish,
see metalink Note:1036312.6 : Utilizing Up to 3GB Virtual Memory on Windows.
it says :
"The 32-bit versions of the Windows® 2000 Advanced Server and Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition, operating systems were the first versions of Windows to provide applications with a 3-GB flat virtual address space, with the kernel and executive components using only 1 GB. In response to customer requests, Microsoft has expanded the availability of this support to the 32-bit version of Windows XP Professional and all 32-bit versions of Windows Server™ 2003."
of course, we mustn't be mistaken with the AWE switch (/PAE) that is not available for standard edition.
