Wrong Oracle Home

Hi, All.
Solaris 8, 9iAS Rel.2
On our App Serv machine we have 2 installations of 9iAS in 2 separate homes. The first AS installation has a running j2ee app. I tried to deploy a .ear file on the second one and finished with this OEM error after specifying all settings:
Deployment failed: Nested exception Root Cause: Error initializing userManager '<domain_name>.security.CustomContactManager': <Old Home>/WEB-INF/webapp.conf (No such file or directory). Error initializing userManager
Why does it refer to the old ORACLE_HOME?
oc4j instance for this application was created for the new AS instance.

Fixed it. No Worries

Adautocfg updating wrong oracle home

We are doing a database upgrade from 8.1.7 to 9.2.0.6 per note 216550.1. The database upgrade is complete and we are now on step 21 - run autoconfig. We copied the appsutil directory from 8.1.7 home to 9.2 home and edited the xml file changing oradb (8.1.7) to ora92. I then edited adautocfg.cmd replacing oradb with ora92. Ran adautocfg.cmd and it failed after asking for a password - said I gave to many!! However, looks like it worked since it did create a new listener, tnsnames, etc. files.
Then I heard from users that another 8.1.7 database on this box was inaccessible. I rebooted server and the 8.1.7 listener would not
start!!! I looked at the registry and found that adautoconfig had changed the 817 registry information. I manually edited the entries and now okay.
Under oracle subkey:
all_homes: id0/home0 - is 8.1.7 - it now pointed to ora92 - I changed back to oradb (817)
id1/home1 - ias - okay
id2/home2 - n806 - okay
id3/home3 - 902 - okay
I edited the registry changing id0/home0 back to 8.1.7 and then could restart
the 8.1.7 listener and database. Ran adautocfg again and it changed the
id0/home0 entries. SHould be doing id3/home3.
Help
I even did a "set oracle_home=f:\oracle\ora92" before running adautocfg and it still updated the wrong database registry information.
What do I have to do to make it update the right home?????

I would suggest that it something in your setup as this does not normally happen. At least I haven't seen this in ages. Probably a different umask of the oracle user?

Guidelines regarding directory structure for multiple Oracle homes on Unix!

Hi All,
Are there any guidelines published regarding directory structures that should be defined while using multiple Oracle homes on Unix/Linux box?
I am looking for guidelines regarding admin and oradata folders so that we dont accidentally mess up with the DB contents with a wrong Oracle home.
Its a development server with 8i and 10g. 11g might also get loaded on the same server in future.
Thanks in advance...
Regards

Thanks Maran.
I have already checked many installation guides before posting here. All of them mention about creating folders like /admin or /oradata on various mount points but none of the naming conventions really indicate whether it is a 8i database or a 10g database.
This is required when you are having multiple Oracle installations under /opt and databases are running from different mount points.

These questions show a certain lack of knowledge about Oracle - which immediately says that you also do not know what you are doing ito performance and scalability of a Oracle and that server platform by running multiple instances on it.
In most case, running multiple instances is the wrong thing to do. It degrades performance. It does not and cannot scale. It is an exception to the basic fundamentals of client-server. And not just for Oracle.
You need sound technical justification for running multiple instances on a server. What is yours?

Hi All,
I am facing the same issue again after installed the oracle linux 4.5.
My Source database is 9i it is running in oracle linux 4.4, So i couldn't register my oracle home in the ORACLE Linux 4.5.I have to downgrade my Oracle linux from 4.5 to 4.4.
I sourced the below steps from google,
Hello everybody! I have a problem with my server and I want to check that it isn't a software problem. So, firstly I want to downgrade from 4.5b6 to 4.4. Just to point out, I have a Plus license. So, to do the downgrade, Do I just have to change the following files? : bzimage
bzroot Nothing else? Thank you so much.
It is that easy.
You can rename the existing two files so you can put them back into place as bzroot and bzimage if the experiment does not result in an improvement. I do that on my system. bzroot would become bzroot.456 and bzimage woud be re-named as bzimage.456
As an alternative, you could add the 4.4.2 files as bzroot.442 and bzimage.442 and then add three lines to your syslinux.cfg file. They would result in additional menu choices when you next boot to allow you to choose to boot on either the older or the current version.
A copy of my syslinux.cfg file is below. You can see I can elect to boot on on almost any of the recent releases, as I've kept re-named copies of each release in turn on my flash drive.
(All the lines I added are in "blue", the three lines for 4.4.2 you would need to add are in "bold blue.". It would require you to put the 4.4.2 files in place renamed as bzroot.442 and bzimage.442)
The only thing you need to be aware of if you re-name the files as I've done is the names must be legal names under DOS on a FAT file-system. Therefore, the names must be at most 8 characters long with a three character "extension"
bzimage.456 is legal, bzimage.45b6 is not. (because it has a 4 character extension)

Oracle reading binary files from other oracle home.

Hi all,
I have two oracle db installed on the same server but on different oracle home.
It seems to me that the second oracle is reading the binaries from the other installation.
I can start this database and the sap instance and it starts on the correct oracle home but I see that it is reading files on the first oracle home.
for example, it saves the spfile under the first oracle_home\database directory. I started it using pfile=<the_correct_ora-home>\database\initSID.ora and set on this init.ora file the correct path for spfile.
But even after this if i change any parameter, it stills change the spfile on the wrong <oracle_home>\database.
Is there a way to fix this ? I mean to make the second oracle to see files under its own oracle home ?
It is oracle 11g under windows 2008.
Remember that all the environment variables is pointing to the correct oracle home and I can start SAP and Oracle as well on this oracle_home.
Thanks in advance,
Joao.

Hi Orkun,
No, we don't have anything else installed yet.
Please see what I found out:
Checking those binary errors I found out that the oracle service
OracleServiceDPC (the second instance on this server) is being started from the wrong oracle_home path. Please
see the path to the executables on that service properties:
g:\oracle\dnc\11202\bin\ORACLE.EXE DPC
It is pointing to the other oracle home DNC but starting instance DPC. How can I change that ?
Please see that the oracle home, the listener, etc is correct pointing
to oracle home G:\oracle\DPC\11202.
I would like to disable this service and create the correct one.
Is that possible ?
thanks and regards,
Joao

ODI installation out of Oracle home

Hi,
I have to install Oracle Data Integrator on a development server where EPM 11.1.2 is already installed. I encounter the following error after setting the install folder (I leave it to default: D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1):
OUI-10044: The selected Oracle Home location already contains an Oracle Home
or APPL_TOP created while running a different OS
I've done some research and found [ that post|http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/oui-10044], which didn't help much.
Basically my ODI file shiphomeproperties.xml shows an OS id 233, which is good.
The problem might be that I have two Oracle folders under C:/. One under "Program Files(x86)" that shows an OS id of 912 and another under "Program Files" which shows an OS id 233. Now I'm guessing that the Oracle installer looks into the wrong file...
Now I might have a workaround, if I change the default install folder, for example to Oracle1, I can access the next step.
My question is to know if it's ok to installl ODI in another Oracle home, is it ok to have two oracle home ?
thanks for your help.

Clean up Oracle Home (11.1.0.6)

Hi,
One of my Oracle Home (11.1.0.6) on HPUnix IA64, is 10GB.
As far as I understand, an Oracle Home should not be more than 5-6GB isnt it? Correct me if I am wrong.
And also please let me know how to free up the space in the Oracle Home. Which directory should I search for cleaning up the space in the Oracle Home?
Thanks!

Thanks!From my experience:
1. Too many trace files in background_dump_dest (as you have 11g, you should check DIAGNOSTIC_DEST)
2. Too many audit files
3. Core dump files/folders in above destinations or in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

DEV 6i and oracle home

Please can anybody help?
Perhaps a minor problem but when i try to install dev6i release 2 (just downloaded)i have to specify a oracle home. When a choose the one where i have installed the 9i database (orahome90)
then i get the following error:
The location specified E:\oracle\ora90 is already used as an Oracle home for Oracle 82 Beta. It cannot be used as an Oracle home for NT
What do or have i done wrong?
regards,
Joshua

Forms/Reports6 must be installed in a seperate Oracle Home, you cannot put them in the same home as the database. Ensure that the new home that you create is the default Oracle home.

10.2 Oracle Home after 11i 12 upgrade

We have done an upgrade of 11.5.9 to 12.0.6 on TEST. We did the DB upgrade separately (ie - not within the rapidinstall part). So, we have the original 10.2 oracle home from 11i, as well as the 10.2 oracle home that was supplied with rapidinstall. Herein lies the question:
1) Does it matter which Oracle Home is used (presuming both are at the same patchset level? Will their be future implications if the 11i 10.2 oracle home is used?
2) If we are using the 11i 10.2 Oracle Home, how does one move to the other Oracle Home (the one that the release 12 rapidinstall supplied) - is this part of running the appsutil.zip? Please bear with me on these questions - it's been a couple of months since we did this, and we're just reviewing everything again in further detail.
Thanks everyone.

Hi Hussein,
Perhaps I used the wrong words (my apologies).
1) We upgraded our 11.5.9CU2 9.2.0.8 DB to 10.2.0.4 first, before running rapidinstall (because this is how we plan to do it in PROD - this breaks up the downtimes to our users).
2) We did not install a 12i 10.2 oracle home per se - when we ran the rapid install, it supplied the filesystem: $ORACLE_BASE/db/tech_st/10.2.0/ - and this is what is a little confusing to me.
3) During the 11i>12 upgrade, under the "Oracle Applications Upgrade Guide: Release 11i to Release 12.0.4" - Page 3-8 - step 7 - we generated a new context file under the 11i 10.2 oracle home.
4) So, we clearly are using the 11i 10.2 Oracle Home. So my questions are:
Q1) The filesystem that rapidinstall supplied (as noted in point 2 above) - essentially that is not doing anything - ie - it is a duplication?
Q2) Under the "Oracle Applications Upgrade Guide: Release 11i to Release 12.0.4" - Page 3-2, Oracle says "We strongly recommend that you use the Release 12.0.4 Oracle Home supplied by Rapid Install..." - I guess this is the part that has me a bit confused, or I need a second opinion on. My assumption is that we are OK here in what we did - that being, using the 10.2.0.4 Oracle Home from 11i.
Thanks very much...Colin

Restoring an oracle home and oracle inventory

Hi,
We are on oracle 10.2.0.3 and oracle 9.2.07 on solaris 8. (there are both versoin db on same server)
I am taking a backup of oracle home and inventory before a critical os patch. suppose something goes wrong and the whole server has to be rebuilt, what is the process of restoring the oracle home and the oracle inventory? should I just unzip the zipped backup in the same directory?
Thanks,
Edited by: orausern on Mar 30, 2010 12:38 AM

Also, probably would be a good idea to take a quick glance at the Oracle Homes section of the Universal Installer guide.

Need of Two Oracle Home in R12

I am a newbie apps dba and was going through the oracle documentation. Where I learnt that in r12 there are two ORACLE_HOME 10.2.0 and 10.3.0. I tried to research regarding the same but couldn't find anything conclusive enough that would clear my fundamentals regarding the need for having 2 ORACLE_HOME. Of what I have understood , 10.2.0 is Developer Home which hosts the Apache, forms server etc and 10.3.0 hosts the JAVA/html server etc. Is my understanding correct regarding the same ? and what is the use and advantage of having two Oracle Homes? Do explain me in laymen terms as I am still a newbie!

BhaviSavla;
I guess you dint understand what I have said!!! I HAVE ALREADY READ THAT THOUSAND TIMES!!! Please think double&triple time while you are talking wiht Hussein Sawwan about EBS related questions.

I strongly suggest you about TO BE KIND-RESPECT with forum users which are trying to help other people here.
And I am still not able to understand the actual advantage of having TWO ORACLE_HOME...After read something, If you still understand than dont blame forum users. Choose easy way... Rise SR!
Kindly do not post just to increase your number of posts on this forum!! If you cannot help me in anyway with this, kindly do not post!If you dont follow OTN forum site consistently than DO NOT MAKE COMMENT about people here If the topic is Hussein Sawwan.
I must remind you something... He has more than 50k post wiht 51k points which mean he made post here like your_post_count*1500times... Wiht other words, his each post equal to 1 point, which mean his each post has meaning which are helpful!
Do you have capability to calculate how mch time he spend here?
