• Oracle on Linux for Windows users

  I used to work on the Windows oracle database and wanted to learn oracle on Linux.

  What are the stuffs good that I can do?

  There are many documents in the Documentation, it's very confusing that you refer

  Hello

  If you are new to Oracle then you will need to learn the installation procedures for the installation of Oracle on Linux. You can find the Installation Documents of Oracle 11 g Documentation .

  Second is in Windows, you can directly connect to SQLPLUS as all parameters are automatically set by the installer.

  But under linux, you will need to set the variables ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID before connecting to SQLPLUS and remember everything is based in Linux command.

  Once installation is complete, then Oracle works as well as under windows. no difference that you are on sql calls so it's okay if you are connected to Windows or Linux.

  You can refer to the Oracle Documentation that will explain everything in detail.

• Oracle on Linux and Windows Client question database server: NetMgr Windows and Linux NetMgr

  People,

  Hello. I have installed Oracle Database 11 g 2 server in the Oracle Linux 5 Starter PT853 Instance of database virtual machine. Then I installed Oracle Database 11 g 2 client for 32-bit Windows XP 64 - bit Windows virtual machine. Now I face the problem of connection of the VMs 2 as below:

  
  In Manager Net Linux Server Machine:

  Service name: PT853
  Connection type: default database
  "TCP/IP Protocol".
  Host name: localhost
  Port name: 1521

  Listener: LISTENER
  Protocol: TCP/IP
  Host: localhost
  Port: 1521

  
  I test the Service PT853 with "SYSADM" username and password "SYSADM". The connection is successful.
  In the Windows XP Client computer, the information in the Net Manager is the same, but the connection is not successful. Its details are as below:

  
  NET Service Name: PT853
  Protocol: TCP/IP
  The database Machine host name: localhost
  Port number: 1521
  Name of the Basic Service: PT853
  Connection type: default database

  
  I have test the Service using "SYSADM" UserID and password to 'SYSADM' which are the same with Linux, but this error: TNS: listener does not currently of service requested in connect descriptor.

  
  I followed this tutorial http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_devices_serial_2vms.html to configure 2 virtual machines in Windows 7 host machine.

  In Windows XP Oracle database Client Installer directory, the "tnsnames.ora" file has an entry that matches the name Service in Net Manager. Directory of database server installation Oracle Linux, the file 'tnsnames.ora' has no entry because I installed the server of Oracle database with the instance of database startup PT853.

  
  I tried to test 2 virtual machines in the way as below:

  In Linux, [user@localhost ~] $ping WindowsXP_HostName
  Release: Unknown host WindowsXP_HostName

  
  At the Windows XP command prompt:
  C:\ping localhost.localdomain
  Its release: ping localhost 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data...
  Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes = 32 time = 2ms TTL = 128

  
  He meets a few times and then disconnected by itself. It seems that Windows XP is ping itself and not Linux server. The host name of the Linux server is 'localhost' as well. It is a kind of confusion for me.

  
  From the information above, we can see that 2 VMs cannot connect between them. Net Manager in Windows XP Oracle Client unable to connect its Service PT853 with the Oracle Linux database server.

  My question is:

  Can any folk tell me how to connect Oracle Client in Windows XP with the Oracle Linux database server?

  
  Very grateful in advance.

  I test the Service using the "SYSADM" username and password "SYSADM" which are the same with Linux and the connection is successful as well.

  IP 192.168.196.102 is Linux. This means that oracle database Client in Windows XP may log into Oracle Database Server under Linux. Don't you think I'm not mistaken? If so, I'm very happy and very grateful to you.

  "Do you think I'm not mistaken?

  By definition, if you can establish a connection, then you are correct.

• Oracle on Linux VS Oracle under Windows

  Hello

  I've been using oracle on 64-bit windows 8 for recent years.

  Is there a big difference in performance between Oracle on Oracle VS Linux on Windows?

  Can I migrate to Linux and start learning early on my curve?

  Kind regards

  Hussien Sharaf

  Hello

  Most people will tell you that Linux is the best OS for the execution of Oracle database. In General, Windows has a bad reputation when it comes to Oracle databases running.

  I worked with both platforms and from my point of view, Windows is as good as Linux in terms of performance.

  Oracle supports all Windows and there is a lot of customers Oracle that works with Windows. What is more, Linux requires the DBA to have system administration skills more than Windows. Windows is simpler and easier to manage and deploy in terms of 'Skills' If you team COMPUTER lacks these skills, it will be problematic to install more advanced as RAC environments.

  Google will show you that this question is common and you can find more information in the following links:

  ORACLE is slower on Windows and on Linux?

  Bottom line:

  • Choose the operating system really depends on what you the company is used to work with and comfortable you and your sysadmins with each platform.
  • I think that finally, you will have to perform (repositories) stress tests yourself in order to be 100% sure that Windows can provide as good as Linux performance in order to get the confidence you need.

• Oracle in RHEL 5. Which to learn first? Linux or Oracle?

  My office uses the Oracle database in RHEL 5. Which one should I control everything first to be a qualified DBA? Linux or Oracle? If the answer is Linux, where can I find Linux tutorial for Dummies since I have never handled Linux in my life before. Thank you

  Both.

  Best way to start is to install a virtual machine on your computer and download a distribution (Ubuntu, Fedora Core, etc.) Live, install it. While you play around Linux in your virtual machine, install oracle on your windows system and start playing. The only real difference you will encounter when playing with the oracle databases is the path to the file reference. It may seem hard to start, but have arrived at the point where you know enough to install oracle on linux (install apps via YUM or rpm, configuration change, install other demons or services; IE: postfix, samba, smtp, etc.) and learn about creating users, create spaces for storage, creating tables/procedures/packages, change system settings, creating the database links, etc. you'll be on your way.

  However becoming a DBA is not as simple as all about Linux and Oracle. Since you have not indicated what you know on this area, I'll assume a few things. First when you start working as a DBA, you can just run Oracle under Linux, you can run oracle on HP - UX, AIX, Linux, Solaris and Windows. In addition, you will be expected also know about writing queries and queries optimization. There is no magic parameters that make the databases to run fast, you have to know how they work, how queires are executed by the sql parser (this is where are real performance gains).

  One thing that I was constantly should know (with details) is oracle licenses. This is a nightmare, and it takes time to learn how the licenses work so that you can give advise for new projects that want to use certain technologies to oracle. It is very intimidating at first, but as learn you more about it and become more comfortable on the use and to know all these things it will become second nature to you. If you know WHAT DBA (work colleagues or friends) to talk to them, encourage them to show you, you will learn a lot more in less time than learning by yourself.

  Everything you did for RHEL5.2 will work perfectly in OEL5.2

  You raise a very good point: the unfortunate fact is that there is * nothing * to all to OEL a house "better" or "easier" for that plain old RHEL Oracle databases. There is no core set environment variable user parameters or pre configured, for example, it would be just for an Oracle straight out of the box installation: you must always you fix all exactly as if it were of RHEL.

  This is normal: OEL was and is intended to be binary compatible with RHEL and therefore no settings of Oracle or parameters that are not in RHEL can be included in the OEL.

  So yes, if it's complicated on RHEL, it is exactly as complicated as on OEL.

  (I'm biased though: If you use my script to doris, you will find that you can install Oracle on virtually any Linux distribution as easily as any other.) See http://dizwell.com/2008/05/01/doris-redux, and if you want to watch a video of how to do to use the script: http://dizwell.com/2008/09/29/proving-a-point/)

• Oracle on Linux for IBM Power systems

  I have 2 questions about running Oracle on Linux (RHEL) OS on Power systems similar-P8.

  1. Why IBM power based Linux is not listed in v$ transportable_platform where we check for platform endian format? Is it because it is not supported?

     2 .   Oracle is 12.1.0.2 or any other version of Oracle DB is certified on RHEL on IBM power?

  
  

  Thank you

  According to Oracle Database 12 c Release 1 (12.1.0.2.0) for IBM AIX on POWER Systems, it is only supported for AIX. PowerPC is a different endian Intel format.

• Paths multiple problem with PowerVault MD3200i + Oracle Enterprise Linux (5,7)

  Hello

  I'm trying to configure MPIO on a host (running Oracle Enterprise Linux Server 5.7) connected to an Powervault MD3200i. I have a few unexpected problems with/dev/dm-0 missing after reboot.

  I configured 3 virtual disks (RAID 1) with MPIO. 3 devices have been created (/ dev/dm-0, / dev/dm-1 and/dev/dm-2).  If I mount them manually, they work very well, so I've added to the fstab. After a reboot, I checked that/dev/dm-1 and/dev/dm-2 have been automatically but is not/dev/dm-0. In fact, the/dev/dm-0 has disappeared from the directory of the device (!)

  If I rinse 'multipath f' and ' multipath - v2 "the device gets recreated, but disappears on the"
  next reboot again. How can I resolve this behavior? Can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance.

  See you soon

  I thought about it... the problem is that I had the wrong specified dev in fstab.

  Should I use the devices in/dev/map /... it worked immediately.

• Install Oracle GoldenGate Linux to synchronize two schemas from database on a single server

  Hi all

  I have to synchronize two schemas from database (Oracle 12 c) in a single host RedHat Linux to demonstrate and understand the use of OGG V12.1.2.1.0. I try to do. But it's complicated and confused me because I am new to Oracle and Linux. I followed this tutorial ( install Oracle GoldenGate for Oracle 12.1.2 on CentOS/6.x to 6.x/RHEL Linux 6.x EL ). But it is difficult to understand how I can match with two diagrams of database on a single server.

  
  And I found this tutorial (Oracle GoldenGate on Linux: two-way replication of Oracle 11 GR 2 to Oracle 11 g 2). He said: "" If you have that one host, it may be useful to change the /etc/hosts file to create aliases forhost01.example.com and host02.example.com.". What it really means?

  The other seems to be useful. But it's totally different from 1. Is that this will help my job since I use 12 c Oracle Server?

  Can I get some tips to continue my task?

  Here's another tutorial - http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/goldengate/12c/OGG12c_Integrated_Replicat/index.html

  It has everything set up on a single Linux host.

  I almost added a question about this certification to your original on recert requirements thread.  Then I saw the following note in the page 'requirements and process ':

  https://education.Oracle.com/pls/web_prod-PLQ-dad/db_pages.GetPage?page_id=768

  "You can keep all your types of database credentials (associate, professional, Expert and Master) in State ASSETS by winning a single credential OCA, OCP or CMO in the CURRENT version of Oracle Database certification."

  Based on this statement, you take a certification or 11g OCA/OCP/CMO 12 c will prevent any expert version-specific certifications being expired.

  It is worth noting that the reverse is not true, taking a current CEO of certification does * not * prevent anything either, but an earlier version of this same certification expires.  Really means a lot right now because he communicated there very little specific expert certificates (RAC, performance and Tuning SQL optimization are the only 11g those for example), but it's something to know.
