Wrong initial group for Oracle Linux account

Hi,
Before I install the Oracle database 11.2.0.1 in Linux server 2.6.39-400.209.1.el6uek.x86_64, I created the following groups oinstall, dba, oper, and asmadmin.
groupadd oinstall         # required from training
groupadd dba                # required from training
groupadd oper              # and group asmdba, asmoper from training
groupadd asmadmin  # optional from training
I made a mistake when I created Oracle user account. I created it with dba as initial group“ useradd -g dba -G oinstall,oper,asmadmin oracle”, instead of “useradd -g oinstall -G dba,oper,asmadmin oracle”
After all I installed Oracle database, now I have concerns and questions. Should I use usermod to update the Oracle user account to oinstall as initial group or just leave it alone?
If I now do “usermod –g oinstall –G dba,oper,asmadmin oracle”, will it break anything, any impact to the database?

You are obviously using Oracle Linux and the Oracle UEK2 kernel. In this case you can save yourself a lot of trouble by simply using:
su - root
yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall
The above will fetch and install all software prerequisites, setup the oracle account and groups and configure necessary kernel parameters. Then simply run the Oracle installer.
P.S. The primary group is automatically assigned to files created by the account. To use dba instead of oinstall it is ok as long as you do not need to create any account to install or update the Oracle software without having sysdba access other then the oracle account.

  • Spacewalk quickstart for Oracle linux 6.1

    I have spacewalk installed following the instructions at https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall. I am completely stuck regarding what to do next.
    My question is, how do I register my new spacewalk server with oracle linux network in order to subscribe to channels and start downloading updates?
    I am under the impression there is a command similar to rhn_register to get this spacewalk server registered with OLN. I am at a dead end here any insight would be appreciated.

    I have a basic question, is Oracle Management Pack for Linux a stand alone application or like the name indicates a pack to another larger application ?The Linux Management Pack is part of Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control. It requires a full install of Grid Control, which includes Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition, Oracle WebLogic Server and Enterprise Manager Grid Control itself. However, once you have this installed, it is better suited to managing and maintaining large groups of Oracle Linux servers than Spacewalk. Spacewalk has no internal capabilities to manage Oracle Linux boxes and requires continual tweaking in order to keep it working, in the same way you can't actually manage large groups of Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers with it (requires the actual Satellite Server product) without lots of tweaking.
    For example, in order for Spacewalk to work, you have to keep using the rep_populate.sh script you're currently using to create local yum mirrors to import into Spacewalk. The Spacewalk server itself won't talk to ULN without code hacking, as far as I could tell. While Spacewalk can be made to work, it's not straightforward and there is no documentation online on how to get it to work with Oracle Linux. It's a lot of trial and error with manipulating the CentOS instructions.
    BTW, we include all the licenses you need for the entire stack with your Oracle Linux basic or premier subscription, so you can install the entire stack! Furthermore, you can then start to explore managing the rest of your Oracle products from a central location. Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control can handle management from the operating system (or virtualization layer if you start looking at Oracle VM) all the way up the stack through the database to application servers and beyond.

  • Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
    Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
    But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
    Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
    You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
    Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

  • Tolerance Group for G/L Accounts

    Hello,
    In the spro Financial Accounting>General Ledger Accounting>Business Transactions>Open Item Clearing>Clearing Differences-->Define Tolerance Groups for G/L Accounts, according to SAP documentation it is possible: "For G/L account clearing, tolerance groups define the limits within which differences are accepted and automatically posted to predefined
    accounts. The groups defined here can be assigned in the general ledger account master record".
    I put these setting:
    Company Code: XXXX
    Tolerance group: XXX
    Name: XXXXX
    Debit Posting: 0,01 Percentage: 1,0
    Credit Posting: 0,01 Percentage: 1,0
    Also I populate in the account master data the field Tolerance group with XXX.
    Then I used the transaction for automatic clearing F.13 and when I run this transaction I have two document with amount 100,01 and -100 and there is a difference of 0,01.
    I'd like to avoid to have this difference and apply a rounding. How it is possible? The spro transaction seems to be used to accept this rounding and not to delete it during the clearing.
    Thanks a lot,
    Emanuela

    Hi,
    SAP is not "deleting" the difference during clearing (as you wrote in your last sentence).
    Using the function you've mentioned you can define tolerance limits for minor differences to trigger an automatic posting to predefined GL accounts during clearing.
    The difference is real, it can't disappear / rounded off.
    Best regards, Christian

  • Tolerance Groups for G/L Accounts - How to configure

    Hi all,
    I've got a few basic questions on this topic, hope you can help!
    1.
    I have created an entry in the transaction "Define tolerance groups for G/L accounts". For this entry I have filled in the company code and tolerance values, but I haven't filled in the tolerance group. Will this tolerance then be applied to all G/L accounts?
    2.
    What happens if I do allow differences for G/L clearing (through tolerance group) but don't create any accounts for clearing differences?
    Kind regards,
    SV

    1.I have created an entry in the transaction "Define tolerance groups for G/L accounts". For this entry I have filled in the company code and tolerance values, but I haven't filled in the tolerance group. Will this tolerance then be applied to all G/L accounts?
    If for a specific company code if you keep this as empty - that group apply to all
    in case if you define a group and if you give that in the GL Master then talerance limits applicable to that gl.
    2.
    What happens if I do allow differences for G/L clearing (through tolerance group) but don't create any accounts for clearing differences?
    If any difference you are trying to post for clearing particular gl system not finds any gl and gives you the error to do assigne the gl in that

  • Oracle 11gR2 certification for Oracle Linux 6

    Hello,
    According to Oracle documentation, database certification and support for Oracle 11gR2 under Oracle Linux starts with 11.2.0.3.
    I was wondering if this might have anything to do with the i386 software prerequisites. Speaking of Oracle 11gR2 x86_64, the need for i386 libraries was removed with 11gR2 11.2.0.2. Or in other words, one can go straight to 11.2.0.2 without the need to install any 32-bit libraries.
    Under Oracle Linux 5 x86_64, the "oracle-validated" package triggers the installation of several i386 packages. Under Oracle Linux 6 x86_64, the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package uses x86_64 only. Under Oracle Linux 6, i386 changed to i686.
    For what it's worth, I have installed Oracle 11gR2 database 11.2.0.1 under Oracle Linux 6.1 to 6.3, both x86_64, simply by using the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package, and so far have not noticed any problems. Is there some information available, why 11.2.0.1 (x86_64) should not be used or is not certified for Oracle Linux 6 (x86_64)?
    Thanks.

    I was afraid of that. Since the question is Oracle Linux 6 specific, I thought I'd try my luck here, thinking that if I get an answer, then probably here. Maybe it was not very realistic to get an answer anyway.
    For what it's worth. Using "oracle-validated" under Oracle Linux 5, and "oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall" under Oracle Linux 6, I was able to install Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.1 just fine, both platforms x86_64 and 32-bit. I have not found any operational issues yet and it seems to run perfectly well.
    The only trouble I had was with Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.1, and here 11.2.0.3 is indeed required for it to install. I made a custom patch, just a few lines and after that 11.2.0.1, both x86_64 and 32-bit installed just fine and is fully operational.
    I'm though I could post the patch. I guess it might make those people happy who do not have access to Oracle support and download 11.2.0.3. The patch will allow them to use the 11gR2 OTN version and install it under Oracle Linux 6. It won't be certified, but it is good enough for the purpose of education.
    I'm closing the thread.

  • How to create authorization groups for G/L Accounting

    Hi:
    I have a problem with authorizations groups in FI, I hope you could help me.
    We want to control access to accounting in FI by authorization group so user only can work with some G/L accounts.
    I have seen in transaction FS00, in control data tab, a field called Auth. Group, but I really donu2019t know if this is the right field.
    Do you know how I can control access to G/L Accounts by Authorization Groups? Perhaps must I to create a new Authorization Group by roles? We have 4.6c.
    Please, any help is welcome.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Update the authorization group field in the GL master with any user defined value and then include the same in the respective user roles against the authorization object - F_BKPF_BES-BRGRU in PFCG
    Ensure you have updated 'Authorization group' for the GL accounts in your chart of accounts
    Thank You,

  • CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169 Patch Availability Document for Oracle Linux

    Hi,
    Can you suggest from where we need to download bash rpm for OEL 6 :-
    bash-4.1.2-15.el6_5.2.x86_64.rpm
    bash-doc-4.1.2-15.el6_5.2.x86_64.rpm
    Thanks in Advance !!
    Mukesh

    First see the document I linked about creating a local yum mirror (How to Create a Local Yum Repository for Oracle Linux). I very strongly recommend setting this up so your systems can get other updates besides bash.
    The individual RPMs can be found at Index of /repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/ -- but I cannot stress the importance of updating entire systems rather than just bash. If you are not updating your systems periodically, bash is just one of your worries (as you're undoubtedly vulnerable to hundreds of other exploits in other packages besides Shellshock). Please set up an update repository and use it.
    Patching only the vulnerabilities you see in the news is equivalent to locking your home's front door, but leaving the security alarm disconnected and the back door held open with a doorstop. You need all the updates, not just bash.

  • Basic installation: X11 for Oracle Linux 6.3

    Hi All,
    I created Oracle VM and installed Linux 6.3 as operation system. First try with X Windows and X11 shows, that I can not start X-Appse.g. xclock --> command not found!
    How can I correct install oderwise configure X11 for Oracle Linux 6.3
    Regards,
    Moh

    I guess Oracle VM VirtualBox and Oracle VM can be misleading. Oracle should better call it Oracle Virtualbox, without VM in the name. Fyi: http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/virtualization/oraclevm/index.html
    Anyway, a default installation of Oracle Linux or RHEL 6 does not install the X Window system and a graphical user desktop. If you want to run X11 applications you have 2 options:
    - Use remote access from a system that has X Window server installed
    - Install X Window and a window manager on your virtual machine.
    If this is a new installation and you use it locally then I suggest to re-install the system and customize the package selection. You should see a prompt "customize now" during the installation where you can select the Desktop packages.

    All 10g oracle is under extended support, the XE 10g version was yanked from the download pages at about the time 10g went Extended.
    Probably won't be able to get a download from anywhere under oracle.com but there might be a few sites that still have it hosted. Try google.

    Hi Swatha,
    Debit Account
    Maximum Revenue Difference on Clearing
         Clearing differences in your favour are permitted up to the amount specified here. The amount always refers to the local currency. Differences up to amount specified are automatically posted by the system as increasing profits. To do this, the system creates new line items.
         In addition to the amount, enter a percentage rate in the Percentage field. The lower of the two limits applies. If you only want to use absolute amounts or percentage rates, you have to enter maximum value in other fields. Ensure that you define these limits for your G/L accounts and your employees. The lower of the two limits applies.

  • Reference book for Oracle Linux exam 1Z0-402

    Hi gurus!
    Can you please give me useful reference books which cover the al topics for Oracle Linux Exam 1Z0-402 preparation?
    Thanks
    Mokarem

    Can you please give me useful reference books which cover the al topics for Oracle Linux Exam 1Z0-402 preparation?By itself, 1Z0-402 does not grant any certification. Presumably you are going for Oracle Linux Administrator Certified Associate. That certification path also requires passing 1Z0-403. However, you can skip 1Z0-402 if you already have one of several other industry Linux certifications (LPI, Linux+, Ubuntu, Red Hat, or Novell). My recommendation would be to go for one of these certifications, then skip straight to the 1Z0-403 exam. I suggest that for several reasons:
    1. There is a lot more study resources for exams like CompTIAs Linux+ available.
    2. The other Linux certifications are better known than Oracle's.
    3. Since 1Z0-402 by itself does not grant a certification, going this route gets you two certifications for the price of one.
